After more than ten minutes, Xiaoyu's tired voice rang out in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind: "Master, what Zhu Xiaojuan was hit by doesn't seem like an ordinary spell, but rather a blood curse called 'sacrifice'. To break the curse, not only do we need dozens of spiritual medicines, but also a drop of the curser's heart blood. The spiritual medicines are easy to come by, as we still have some in stock, but the heart blood is a bit troublesome..."
Xiaoyu was a little worried and didn't know how to persuade Zhou Yuanyuan to give up the unrealistic idea of helping Zhu Xiaojuan break the curse.
This curse, while originating from the same source as Zhou Yuanyuan's "Word Curse," deviated from its fundamental principles. If Zhou Yuanyuan's "Word Curse" was considered orthodox, this "Blood Curse" was a treacherous and unorthodox method.
Zhou Yuanyuan's "Word Spell" is a painting with magic formulas and spiritual energy as the medium to communicate with the most ancient mysterious power between heaven and earth for the caster to use in order to achieve the purpose the caster wants to achieve.
This blood curse, called "sacrifice," is usually cast by a direct blood relative of the person being cursed. Through this technique, the curser "sacrifices" the person being cursed to the "god" they worship, thereby achieving what they desire.
In other words, it was Zhu Xiaojuan's relatives who made her become like this, and they must be her immediate relatives who had a close relationship with her.
This made Zhou Yuanyuan's task of breaking Zhu Xiaojuan's curse seem rather thankless. People are like this; sometimes they would rather live in the warmth of lies than know that a loved one they trusted was actually the "murderer." Although Zhu Xiaojuan was calmer than her peers, she wasn't necessarily willing to know that the source of all her suffering came from her family.
"Xiao Yu, is the situation a little tricky?" Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask when she saw Xiao Yu fell silent.
"Master, you should let Zhu Xiaojuan make her own choice in this matter! What if she blames you after knowing the truth?" Xiaoyu explained to Zhou Yuanyuan in detail the blood curse on Zhu Xiaojuan, which left Zhou Yuanyuan stunned.
Hiss! How cruel must a relative be to think of sacrificing Zhu Xiaojuan? This is truly a living example of the end justifying the means!
Zhou Yuanyuan hesitated.
In order to remove the curse on Zhu Xiaojuan, Zhou Yuanyuan must obtain the heart blood of the person who cast the curse. In other words, she must find out who had harmed Zhu Xiaojuan. Therefore, Zhou Yuanyuan must tell Zhu Xiaojuan the truth.
Zhu Xiaojuan is already suffering enough from her "strange disease." If she knew that the pain she has endured over the years actually came from her loved ones, who knows if this fact would cause her to collapse?
Although Zhou Yuanyuan does not expect others to be grateful when she saves people, she will not do anything that would result in being blamed.
"Then... let's ignore her for now?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked hesitantly.
Xiaoyu didn't say anything. She knew that Zhou Yuanyuan already had the answer in her mind.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Xiaojuan’s matter is the Zhu family’s family affair.
What's more, Zhu Xiaojuan is not in danger of life at the moment, and Zhou Yuanyuan's insistence on interfering in this matter is neither logical nor moral.
Zhou Yuanyuan finally chose to pretend she didn't know.
The experience of living two lives made Zhou Yuanyuan realize that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart.
When a person is hurt by outsiders, he may fight back. Even if he does not fight back, he will think in his heart: People slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, look down on me, despise me, hate me, and deceive me. I just tolerate him, let him be, let him be, avoid him, endure him, respect him, ignore him, and wait a few days and see what happens to him.
If the person who hurt you were your loved one, most people would immediately blame themselves or question whether they had done something wrong to deserve such treatment. Only when a loved one pushes them into a desperate situation will a person with good intentions rebel.
Just like Wen Ziqing, who was abused by his stepmother Wu Xiuli at a young age, ignored by Wen Yulong, and plotted against by Wen Ziyun and his sister, Wen Ziqing never considered seeking revenge, but chose to stay away. Perhaps many people would think he was weak, but at least he had a clear conscience.
Time flies like water, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Whether it was the effect of Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual energy or Zhu Xiaojuan's improvement, she felt her memory was slowly returning over the past month. At least, she could now retain memories for three or four days.
Zhu Xiaojuan felt that her good luck was brought by Zhou Yuanyuan, so she stuck to Zhou Yuanyuan even more frequently.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt guilty towards Zhu Xiaojuan, so she allowed Zhu Xiaojuan to stay with her all the time at school, and even went shopping with her on weekends.
Zhu Xiaojuan is also a fan of "Yunyun" clothing. When she saw the new Yunyun style on Zhou Yuanyuan, she took Zhou Yuanyuan to the flagship store of Yunyun clothing in Kyoto City and bought several sets of clothes with big and small bags. The manager of the Yunyun flagship store was so happy that he smiled so much that his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan no longer agreed to let Zhu Xiaojuan stay overnight.
The reason was simple: Zhou Yuanyuan was incredibly busy. On weekends, she was busy cultivating, spending time with her family, and waiting for Wen Ziqing's call, leaving very little time for Zhu Xiaojuan.
Ever since Wen Ziqing went to the Northern Military Region, he has been like a kite with a broken string, with no news at all.
Zhou Yuanyuan tried several times to contact Wen Ziqing using the communication talisman, but gave up the idea after thinking about it.
While the communication talisman was useful, it was too grandiose. If he wasn't careful, it would expose Wen Ziqing's identity as a monk. Wen Ziqing, a low-key commander in the Northern Military Region, would surely not be happy to have his image ruined by Zhou Yuanyuan.
General Zhou has been in a good mood recently.
When General Zhou first joined the revolution, he hoped that the motherland would be strong, the world would be peaceful, everyone would have clothes to wear and everyone would have enough food to eat.
Over the years, with the implementation of China's reform measures, China's national strength has grown stronger year by year, and the people's lives have become more prosperous year by year. Some neighboring countries, seeing China's strength, dare not easily provoke disputes. Even some advanced OM countries have softened their attitude towards China.
All of this gave General Zhou an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Zhou Xi's special operations team had not received any missions for a long time. Since Zhou Xi did not have to go on any missions, he stayed at home with General Zhou.
Zhou Yuanyuan had been a well-behaved middle school student during this time, not running around everywhere. Zhao Yunxiang and his wife would rush home after work every day, and the Zhou family's old house seemed much more lively these days.
Yu Xiaohan moved out ten days ago.
Yu Xiaohan is a successful businessman and naturally understands the principle that too much is as bad as too little.
