"Heart-eating curse!"
Xiao Ning looked at You Rong Rouxue in astonishment, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He knew the meaning of these three words very well. That was Xue Lian's unique skill to control other people's minds - the Heart-Eating Curse! Once this curse was cast on the person, the person would completely become a puppet in Xue Lian's hands, losing self-awareness and completely obeying Xue Lian's control.
Even Rong Rouxue, who was as powerful as the Mahayana stage, had suffered losses and stumbled before this spell. It was conceivable how terrifying this Heart-Eating Curse was.
At this moment, Rong Rouxue looked solemn and her face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. She stared at Chu Qian in front of her and couldn't help but curse in a low voice:
"Damn Xue Lian, he's not dead yet! I wonder how many bodies this bastard has prepared. It's impossible to guard against him!"
Xiao Ning held Chu Qian tightly in his arms, looked at Yourong Rouxue anxiously, and pleaded with a tearful voice:
"Sister Rouxue, please quickly think of a way to save my mother! She can't be controlled like this forever!"
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Song Junwan and the other three rushed into the house. When they saw Xiao Ning and Yourong Rouxue's anxious expressions, they immediately knew that something was wrong and that something extremely serious must have happened.
Xiyue spoke first and asked anxiously:
"Ning'er, what's wrong with the lady?"
However, at this moment, Xiao Ning was only thinking about how to save his mother, and had no time to answer Xiyue's question. He just stared at Yourong Rouxue with hopeful eyes, hoping that this knowledgeable senior could come up with a way to break the Heart-Eating Curse.
At this time, Yourong Rouxue finally came back to her senses from her anger. She slowly turned her eyes to Xiao Ning and Chu Qian, with a trace of embarrassment on her face. She clenched her fists tightly, as if trying to control her inner emotions.
"Ning'er, you should comfort Chu Qian first. We need to think about this matter carefully."
There was a hint of firmness and calmness in Yourong Rouxue's voice.
Xiao Ning looked at Rong Rouxue's mysterious expression, and his heart was full of doubts. He was about to ask why he couldn't say it in person, when suddenly, Rong Rouxue's voice rang in his mind:
"Ning'er! Now is not the time to talk. The matter of Chu Qian being cursed with the Heart-Eating Curse is no small matter. This curse needs to be cast by Xue Lian in person, which means Xue Lian is right next to us!"
Xiao Ning was shocked when he heard You Rong Rouxue's words. He finally understood You Rong Rouxue's intention, which was to avoid alerting the enemy and causing more trouble.
He quickly reached out his hand, pinched Chu Qian's neck, and applied light force. After a while, Chu Qian, who was originally crying, fell asleep.
Xiao Ning carefully and gently placed Chu Qian on the bed, then signaled to Xiyue and Youniang to take good care of her. Then, he held Yourong Rouxue's hand tightly and turned to leave. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned around and shouted:
"Aunt Song, come over here too."
When Song Junwan heard Xiao Ning's voice, she was slightly startled, then responded and quickly followed. Her eyes revealed a trace of concern and worry, and she seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter.
The three of them came to an empty courtyard. Xiao Ning stopped, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety. He looked at Yourong Rouxue and Song Junwan, and said nervously, "Sister Rouxue, can you tell me now?"
Rong Rouxue's gaze first fell on Song Junwan, then turned to Xiao Ning. She nodded slightly, indicating that she could start telling the story.
"Ning'er, the Heart-Eating Curse is a spell that affects people's hearts. It can magnify the deepest desires and fears in people's hearts, and it cannot be broken from the outside. Once it is planted, it is like a ulcer attached to the bones and is difficult to eradicate. Only by relying on one's own strong will can it be possible to contend with it. The reason why I can break the Heart-Eating Curse is because my cultivation is profound, far beyond that of ordinary people."
Rong Rouxue's tone was calm, but the helplessness in it made people feel heavy.
When Xiao Ning heard this, he was struck by lightning. His face turned pale in an instant, and his heart was cold. This meant that his mother Chu Qian could only rely on her own strength to break this terrible spell, and he was powerless. Anger and despair surged in his heart, and he punched the stone pillar beside him.
The stone pillar sank instantly, making a loud rumbling sound, as if Xiao Ning was roaring with pain in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
"Xue Lian! He actually set his sights on my mother. I will make him pay the price!"
His eyes were filled with anger as he glared into the distance, as if he wanted to tear Xue Lian, who cast the curse, into pieces.
Song Junwan felt a sharp pain in her heart as she looked at Xiao Ning with his eyes wide open. She covered Xiao Ning's fist that hit the stone pillar with a distressed look. Although his hand was not injured, she could feel the pain and struggle in his heart. She comforted him softly:
"Ning'er, don't be like this, there must be a way to save Sister Qian!"
Xiao Ning's eyes slowly moved to Song Junwan's face. He saw the concern and worry in her eyes. Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. He didn't dare to look at her any more. He knew that his mother had hurt this kind woman before, so how could he face her?
Xiao Ning lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, he bit his lips tightly, trying to restrain the surging emotions in his heart. Seeing Xiao Ning like this, Song Junwan mistakenly thought it was because of Chu Qian's matter. She was anxious and hurried forward to hug Xiao Ning.
"Ning'er, don't cry! If you cry, I...I want to cry too..."
