"Youyou!" Feng Rong couldn't care less about continuing the sealing and rushed back, her face full of worry. "How are you? Is anything bothering you?"
Youyou shook her head. "No!" In other words, she didn't feel anything at all.
"You Tiannu, how come you're alright?" Everyone was even more surprised. Once the curse was activated, not only the followers, but also the several celestial maidens who were originally conscious, all fainted. However, You Tiannu alone did not react at all and did not even know that the curse had been activated.
"Xiao You..." Yuan Qi also stepped forward with concern, took her hand and took her pulse while asking, "Do you feel your spiritual energy dissipating or your mind experiencing strange pain?"
"No..." Youyou shook her head, then, as if remembering something, grabbed the two of them and asked, "Wait, wasn't it said that this Love-Binding Spell would also affect the followers? Fengrong, Father Yuan, are you alright?" The followers in this hall are all coughing up blood.
The two were taken aback, as if they had just remembered this, and looked at each other for a while.
"I don't feel anything..."
"I have never..."
They are Youyou's followers. If it were truly a love spell, it would surely affect the person Youyou loves. Why are they showing no reaction at all? Is it that only Youyou is not afflicted by the love spell, or... are neither of them the person Youyou is destined to love?
"I did feel a slight, dull pain in my chest just now." Before the two could ask for details, Ling Qi, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up, "Although it wasn't very noticeable..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Qi and Feng Rong turned around and glared at him. It didn't seem like concern, but rather... anger? Feng Rong, in particular, seemed about to explode.
Where are the people who are supposed to be affectionate? Why is Ling Qi affected?! They aren't?!
Ling Qi was startled and was about to say something when several responses rang out from inside the hall, all from disciples of the True Exploration Sect.
"I think I felt a sharp pain just now..."
"I have one too..."
"Huh, was that what just happened? I thought I was having heart palpitations!"
"And me, I felt a bit of pain too."
"Add one!"
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
What the heck? Why are all the disciples of the True Transformation Sect included?!
In an instant, all eyes in the hall turned to You You, with a mixture of emotions. Was the Heavenly Maiden of the True Transformation Sect really so benevolent?
Even Yuan's father couldn't help but ask, "Xiao You, the Love Spell only affects the person you love. What you just did..."
He seemed unsure how to begin, but Feng Rong couldn't help but explode in anger, saying, "You... how many people are in your heart? Who do you actually like?!"
"Huh?!" You You was also dumbfounded and blurted out, "I am the sect leader of Zhenyan Sect, so naturally I care about all the disciples in the sect. I like everyone here. Is that... too much?" She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
If the Love-Binding Spell only works on people she likes, then she likes a lot of people. Ling Qi, Lin Feng, Liu Qing, Shui Yan, and even everyone in the sect. She even likes Wu Yue, Long Xi, and the lovely celestial maidens from various sects!
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The Love Spell: "..."
That makes so much sense, they couldn't even refute it!
At this time, in various places of the True Transformation Sect...
"Huh? I just felt a sharp pain in my chest, and it suddenly reminded me of the sect leader!"
"Me too, the image of the sect leader suddenly flashed through my mind just now. Is it the same for you?"
"So many people are on the same wavelength? I am too!"
"But why does my chest hurt for a moment?"
"I don't know either, Sister Shuiyan, do you know what's going on?"
"What do you know? This isn't pain; it's clearly my love for the Sect Master!"
"..."
————————
Father Yuan said that the reason why the Love-Binding Curse is so powerful is that it not only affects the person under the curse, but also the person the person under the curse desires. That's why Long Xi and these celestial maidens have such a powerful influence.
But this clearly doesn't include Youyou, because she has... far too many lovers.
Youyou herself found it somewhat astonishing; she hadn't expected the curse to be so widespread. What did "affection" mean? In her understanding, familial love, romantic love, and friendship—these were all forms of affection!
For a fleeting moment, the thought did flash through her mind: who was the most important person to her? For her, the most important… of course, were her brothers from the True Transformation Sect!
So she went through the memories of all the disciples in the sect. Now that she thought about it, that must have been the reaction to the curse being activated.
"Sect Leader You, your curse mark..." someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone focused their attention on Youyou's forehead again, only to discover, to their astonishment, that the previously prominent red curse mark had suddenly begun to blur and distort. Youyou also felt as if something was being pulled out of her sea of consciousness.
She subconsciously focused her mind and activated her physical strength. The next moment, a wisp of red smoke floated out from her forehead, followed by a shrill scream, before slowly dissipating.
"The curse... has disappeared?!"
Everyone looked on in disbelief. Youyou couldn't help but summon the water mirror to take a look. The mark on her forehead was indeed gone. She looked into her sea of consciousness and found that the eye pattern that had just been infected was also gone.
"What's going on?" she asked, completely bewildered.
Yuan Qi pulled her close and examined her carefully. After a while, he said with some difficulty, "The curse on you has indeed been lifted, and... it was the curse that lifted itself?"
