Jiuying sneered from the side: "Whether it's a good match or not depends on whether enough is given."
The "expert" nearly choked on his own saliva, and said in embarrassment and anger, "How can you talk like that?"
"Alright, alright, Jiuying, stop talking. Master, please remove the curse from my child first. After you're done, I'll take you somewhere else. There are some other patients over there." Shen Miao quickly smoothed things over.
The wise man nodded demurely.
Shen Miao then took him to see the children. After the expert performed a series of procedures, it was said that the problem was solved. Shen Miao asked Da Bao, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Da Bao felt it for a moment, then shook his head blankly: "It doesn't seem to hurt anymore."
Shen Miao was very happy and led an expert to remove the poison from the soldiers of Xuan Ran's army. After everyone was cured, Shen Miao gave her the promised beast crystal.
When the expert saw the beast crystal, his eyes widened instantly, filled with undisguised joy and greed, but he tried his best to restrain himself. Shen Miao felt a little uncomfortable seeing this, but then she thought, who wouldn't want a beast crystal? So she felt relieved.
She politely invited the expert, "Come to my house for a visit? Have dinner at my place tonight."
The expert then came to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "No need, no need, I'll be leaving now. See you again if fate allows."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Shen Miao watched the person walk a distance before turning to go home. Before she even got home, she encountered Jiu Ying rushing out. She quickly asked, "Jiu Ying, where are you going?"
Jiuying looked behind her but didn't see the orc. She asked in a deep voice, "Where is that liar?"
"What liar?" Shen Miao was stunned.
"That means the master who was supposed to be able to cure the curse is completely ineffective; the children's symptoms have relapsed." Jiuying's tone was very unpleasant.
Shen Miao hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you didn't remove it? But Da Bao said it didn't hurt anymore."
Jiuying said angrily, "Who knows what method he used to temporarily suppress the Gu worm? Now that he has the beast crystal, his mediocre skills have been exposed. Just wait, when I find him, I will definitely give him a good beating."
“Wait a minute,” Shen Miao said calmly, “Let’s go check on the people in Xuan Ran’s army first, so we don’t wrong innocent people.”
The two went to check and found that the orcs whose symptoms had just subsided had now relapsed, and some were rolling on the ground in pain.
Shen Miao finally realized that she had indeed been deceived.
"That bastard actually tried to scam me! When I find him, I'll beat him to a pulp, or I'll change my surname to his!" With that, he turned and ran after the man.
Jiuying stopped her: "Go back and take care of the cubs, I'll go after them."
Shen Miao thought about it and agreed.
Back home, Qingchen was taking care of the babies. Shenmiao felt sad seeing the babies looking uncomfortable.
When Qingchen saw her come in, he called her aside and said, "I have a way that might be able to remove the curse from the children."
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao hurriedly said, "You had a solution, why didn't you say so sooner?"
She was almost frantic with worry, but how could Qingchen remain so calm? No, Qingchen wasn't calm either; he was anxious too, just in a different way.
"This method is very dangerous and could be fatal."
Qingchen hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Shen Miao was stunned: "You mean, there is a way to remove the curse, but the person affected by the curse might die during the removal process?"
Qingchen nodded.
It was precisely for this reason that he did not immediately propose to remove the curse, but only suggested this method after the invited master had also failed.
"No, no, this won't do, what if..."
She bit her lip, but didn't say anything.
But Qingchen understood what she meant. They both felt the same way. If anything happened during the process of removing the curse, they would be in unbearable pain.
This matter was delayed again. Shen Miao was still looking for someone to remove the curse. Having learned from her previous experience, she was no longer willing to easily trust people this time. She would ask detailed questions of anyone who recommended a cure.
It turned out they were all mediocre.
Shen Miao was furious and chased all those people away. She used her supernatural abilities to soothe the children's pain, but this was not a long-term solution.
No one in Xuanran's army used healing abilities to treat them, and many of their symptoms had become very severe.
Just as Shen Miao was worrying, Huo Hu heard from somewhere that Qing Chen had a way to cure the Gu, so he took the initiative to come to her door and said that he could experiment on her.
"I want to give it a try; it's better than having no options at all," Huo Hu said frankly.
Qingchen told him about all the possible dangers, but Huohu still insisted, so he decided to remove the curse from him.
Before the exorcism began, Qingchen had hot water, a knife, and a medicinal herb gathered from the mountain, which was ground into a juice for later use. He also had a dry towel prepared.
"To ensure a successful removal of the curse, I need to tie you up." Qingchen brought over a rope.
Fire Tiger resisted the ropes. As a tiger, he hated being restrained more than anything else. Tying him up was worse than taking his life.
After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, tie me up."
Qingchen bound his hands and feet, and used a stone knife to make a bloody cut on his hands, feet, and chest, then dripped the prepared herbal juice into them.
At first, when the knife was used, Huo Hu held back his screams, but as soon as a drop of grass juice entered his mouth, he couldn't help but scream in agony.
Shen Miao felt pain just watching, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this okay? Is this really okay?"
Qingchen didn't even look up, staring intently at the five wounds on Huohu's body, as if waiting for something. Huohu's screams continued, and Shenmiao finally understood why Qingchen had tied him up.
If this were released, the Fire Tiger could probably jump up and rush out, making it pointless to dispel the curse; it would just have to lie flat.
After about fifteen minutes, Huo Hu's screams gradually subsided. Whether he fainted from the pain or something else, Qing Chen started dripping grass juice into the wound again.
Shen Miao only saw Huo Hu's body suddenly bounce and scream again.
After this happened several times, Shen Miao heard Qing Chen say "It's done," and she quickly went to check. She saw Qing Chen using a bamboo skewer to pick up a long, thin worm.
One was picked out from each of the hands, feet, and chest, making a total of five, which left Shen Miao in awe.
The five worms were already half-dead. Qingchen picked them out and then stopped caring about them, starting to stop the bleeding from Huohu's wounds. After bleeding from all five wounds for so long, she finally understood why this method was said to be risky.
Huo Hu had already fainted, but his life was not in danger. Shen Miao watched the whole thing and was a little worried about whether the little ones could handle it.
Next, she and Qingchen worked together to remove the curses from the children. The process was quite dangerous, but fortunately, they escaped unharmed. The children were successfully freed from the curses, but their voices were hoarse from crying afterward.
Shen Miao was heartbroken. She carefully bandaged their wounds, carried them to the bed, lined them up, and let them sleep peacefully. She kissed each of them before going with Qing Chen to remove the curse from the Xuan Ran army soldiers.
