"Xuanlan, do you know about the curse?" Qiao Qiu asked.
Xuanlan retorted, "Why are you asking about the curse?"
“I want to understand how curses are generated.” Qiao Qiu’s face was solemn. “I have encountered a curse before and realized that this is my weakness. I must learn about curses so that I know how to break some curses and I will not be afraid when I encounter curses in the future.”
Xuanlan nodded. "I see. However, researching curses is too dangerous, and I still don't want you to take any risks. I know the most about curses, so you don't need to be afraid as long as you stay by my side."
Qiao Qiu said, "You don't understand. I need to know how the curse is generated."
Xuanlan frowned. "Why do you absolutely have to know?"
Qiao Qiu looked at him and said, "Please help me out, okay? There's more than this life; there's always the next. You can't be this capable forever. Every time I meet you, you've already forgotten me, forgotten everything, forgotten the events of the past life. If I hide under your wing in this life and don't learn what I should learn, what will happen in the next life?"
Xuanlan looked at her and calmly asked, "What if you only have this one lifetime?"
A glint flashed in Qiao Qiu's eyes. "What do you mean?"
"What if I could keep you here in this world forever?" Xuanlan asked.
Qiao Qiu was taken aback. "You really can keep me in this world? Forever?"
"With my current abilities, I can block the Heavenly Dao's view, making it impossible for them to discover you or do anything to you."
Qiao Qiu narrowed her eyes slightly. She had to admit that this was a great temptation.
Qiao Qiu sat down, tapping her fingers on the table. She nodded slightly, her dark hair falling down to reveal her beautiful swan neck. "Xuan Lan, tell me, what does 'restraint' mean to you?"
"Binding?" Xuan Lan frowned slightly. Could it be that Qiu'er thought he was protecting her and giving her an endless lifespan in this world, but in reality he was trapping her?
Although this was done for her sake, the result was similar to the curse. The difference was that the curse imprisoned her in many worlds, while Xuanlan imprisoned her in this one world.
Qiao Qiu indeed thought so. If she were to be permanently trapped in one world, even if she had an infinite lifespan, it would not be as good as a lifespan of just a few decades.
In fact, Qiao Qiu felt conflicted. The cursed world and the real world were not that different. They were the same people with the same emotions. In many worlds, people had the same lifespan, experienced the same things, and did the same things.
But she felt bound by the cursed world; she had to return to reality. Only there was her true home, her true haven.
That's right, people often say that one should take root where one is. The reason she can't find a sense of freedom here is because she hasn't built her understanding of freedom on any foundation.
In the real world, her parents might be a constraint for her, but as long as she can travel freely outside, she can breathe the air of freedom.
That feeling is something you can't experience in a cursed world.
Her real family, her real relatives, and her real roots are all in real life.
As for Xuan Lan, Qiao Qiu was certain that she truly loved him.
Qiao Qiu lowered her gaze slightly, deciding to tell him the thing she had kept hidden the deepest in her heart, "Xuan Lan, I will tell you something, but not here."
Xuanlan nodded. "Okay, tell me when we get back to Shangqing Palace."
Qiao Qiu nodded. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Wei Ya's voice came from outside, "The barbecue is ready, may I come in?"
...
After the two finished eating the barbecue, Xuanlan took Qiaoqiu back to Shangqing Palace.
As soon as they entered Shangqing Palace, Xuanlan activated all of its protective formations.
Qiao Qiu looked at them and asked, "Can these formations block the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Dao?"
“Of course,” Xuanlan replied.
"Okay, then I'm relieved."
Although Xuan Lan didn't say anything, he was deeply moved by Qiao Qiu's trust in him.
Although he didn't know what Qiao Qiu was trying to say, he was certain that this matter was related to the Heavenly Dao, and anything related to the Heavenly Dao was bound to be a major event.
Qiao Qiu then told him why she came to this world and why she traveled through time and time again to meet him.
After listening, Xuanlan said in a deep voice, "No wonder you reacted that way when I said I would protect you so that you would have an endless lifespan in this world."
Qiao Qiu lowered her head, "Xuan Lan, I'm sorry, I..."
Xuanlan laughed and said, "Didn't you plan to bring me back to the real world? In that case, we can work together. Why do you have to apologize to me again? Actually, I also want to go to your world and live with you, and take care of my parents-in-law and grandparents together."
Qiao Qiu remained silent. She had no confidence that she could bring Xuan Lan back to the real world, since Xuan Lan and the curse were interdependent.
Xuanlan continued, "Actually, it's truly unfair to you. Every time you met me, I had no memory of it. Qiu'er, let's start with this world. Now that I know everything, let's work together."
"good."
Xuanlan said, "A curse is an evil spell that uses spiritual power, mental power, divine sense, and the power of natural elements. For a curse to be effective, the cursed person's hair, name, birth date, and one of their commonly used items are necessary mediums. Qiu'er, is there only one cursed box in the forbidden area of your residence?"
Qiao Qiu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right."
"This is bad, this is the 'Millennial Reincarnation Curse'." Xuanlan's expression was solemn.
Qiao Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "What kind of magic is this?"
Xuanlan said, "I have had an extremely high talent in this area since I was a child. In the past ten thousand years, I have not only learned all the curses in the world, but I have also created some curses myself. The 'Millennial Reincarnation Curse' is one of my creations. This curse spell can curse a family for generations. As long as the bloodline of this family continues, it can use this bloodline as a medium to curse everyone in the family, including their descendants. Even if the bloodline is diluted and weakened, the curse can still accurately find the descendants and then curse them again."
"This curse is far too cruel," Qiao Qiu frowned.
Xuan Lan felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and continued, "This curse will last forever. You can tell from its name; it cycles every thousand years. Even after a thousand years, it will continue to cycle." (For the latest chapters, please visit Tangkexing---Mobile Address:)
