CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 16: CURSE TRANSFER

The effect of low-quality Water of Rebirth lasts for an hour.

Drinking low-quality Water of Rebirth, and then drinking the genuine Water of Rebirth, is useless; you can only choose to drink one.

The production of genuine Water of Rebirth is very limited, only three bottles are released per day, and in a year with three hundred and sixty-five days, barely over a thousand bottles. Faced with the vast population of the alliance, this amount is simply insufficient.

As for the low-quality Water of Rebirth? There’s plenty. It can be bought on the black market for three to five million a bottle.

Li Cunxu drank the low-quality Water of Rebirth in one gulp, sliced a large opening on his chest with a knife, severing the connection between his heart and body. Blood spattered all over the floor as he disconnected his heart from his body, took it out, and placed it in an organ activation fluid. Then he quickly stuffed the cursed heart inside.

He moved swiftly, for if he were slow, the wound would heal under the effect of the low-quality Water of Rebirth, and he would not want to make another cut.

The low-quality Water of Rebirth only heals without blocking pain, especially the itching sensation as the wound heals, which is unbearable for ordinary people.

Moreover, if he were slow, it wouldn’t be just the wound healing, but the heart as well.

The powerful healing ability of low-quality Water of Rebirth would regenerate a new heart.

If he were slow, he would have to take out the heart again, and it would also consume a vast amount of life span.

The cursed heart, once inserted into the position of the heart, merges with the body at an extremely fast speed.

Having lost a significant amount of blood, Li Cunxu’s face turned incredibly pale.

"It’s time to start transferring the curse."

Li Cunxu infused three bottles of clear-minded potion into Lin Qingwei, bringing her consciousness back again.

Li Cunxu rudely stuffed the left eye of the black cat sculpture into her mouth.

"Swallow it."

Li Cunxu himself swallowed the right eye of the black cat sculpture.

The eyes of the black cat sculpture harbor mysteries, not made from ordinary glass beads, but are the eyes of the Calamity Two-Pole Tiger.

The eyes of the Calamity Two-Pole Tiger have the miraculous effect of transferring curses to others. It is precisely this effect that led to the extermination of the Calamity Two-Pole Tiger clan.

Li Cunxu could feel a connection established between himself and Lin Qingwei, with the dragon curse gradually transferring to himself.

However, the dragon curse was too tenacious, and the transfer progress was very slow.

The eyes of the Calamity Two-Pole Tiger, after enduring countless years, have a significantly diminished effect, and he must completely transfer the dragon curse into his body before the effect ends, or the curse transfer would fail.

"Looks like that method needs to be used."

"Where is your reverse scale?"

The just-conscious Lin Qingwei seemed dazed. It took Li Cunxu several repetitions before Lin Qingwei answered.

"On the back."

"By the way, you haven’t drunk low-quality Water of Rebirth."

"No."

Lin Qingwei shook her head.

Li Cunxu tossed her a bottle of low-quality Water of Rebirth.

"Drink it."

Lin Qingwei’s face flushed slightly.

Why is your face red just from drinking low-quality Water of Rebirth?

Watching Lin Qingwei drink the low-quality Water of Rebirth,

"Turn around."

Lin Qingwei obediently turned around, and in the next second, Li Cunxu roughly tore open the girl’s clothes, exposing her back.

The girl’s back was like a delicate painting, her skin as smooth as cream, exuding a faint sheen, and the golden shining dragon scales added a sense of power, without losing any grace.

Li Cunxu’s face turned slightly red, feeling a bit awkward. The girl was wearing a little white dress, now torn open, leaving only her underwear to protect her modesty.

"A doctor’s heart is akin to a parent’s heart, a doctor’s heart is akin to a parent’s heart."

Repeating this several times in his mind, suppressing the restlessness within, Li Cunxu began the next step.

He took the pliers forged from Forbidden Spirit Iron, clamped onto the reverse scale on the girl’s straight back, and pulled it off forcefully, eliciting a shrill scream from the girl.

Dragons have reverse scales, touch them and death follows.

Moreover, it’s not just touching but pulling.

The instant the reverse scale was pulled off, the room went dark, something broke through the ceiling lamp.

His forehead seemed tightly pressed against something sharp, prompting Li Cunxu to shrink his head back and step away.

In that endless darkness, a pair of golden eyes shone like bright stars, emitting a compelling glow, the golden dragon scales flickered in the dim light, each one like a carefully carved artwork, exuding a noble yet cold aura.

Did Lin Qingwei become an evil dragon due to pain?

Li Cunxu activated his phone’s flashlight, seeing a four-meter-long Golden Evil Dragon coiling, with its ferocious big mouth open, positioned right where his head previously was.

Li Cunxu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"I was wise to put a slave collar on her; otherwise, I would have been dragon food."

Li Cunxu noticed the curse transfer progress was now dozens of times faster than before.

Yet he frowned, "Although faster, at this rate, the curse still can’t be fully transferred before the Calamity Pole Beast eyes’ effect fades."

"The process needs to be accelerated."

Li Cunxu commanded the Golden Evil Dragon with the slave collar around its neck, "Close your mouth, turn your body over, reveal your abdomen."

A knife thrust towards the heart of the Golden Evil Dragon, but something embarrassing happened.

The knife tip broke, leaving not a scratch on the dragon-scaled chest.

"I forgot, ordinary weapons can’t break through the dragon scales’ defense. What should I do? Where can I find a weapon capable of piercing an evil dragon now?"

Seeing the gleaming dragon claws, Li Cunxu had an idea.

He ordered the Golden Evil Dragon to rip open its own chest with its own dragon claws.

Li Cunxu noticed the slave collar around the Golden Evil Dragon’s neck was terribly taut, fearing it wouldn’t hold for long.

Using the broken knife, he made a cut on the dragon heart.

The Golden Evil Dragon struggled violently.

"Stay still."

Lying on the Golden Evil Dragon, his head buried into the heart, he sucked the gold dragon blood within the dragon heart.

The dragon blood within the dragon heart was not just ordinary dragon blood, but the essence of the dragon’s blood, and moreover, the source blood of the dragon curse causing one to become a dragon.

After absorbing the curse source blood, the curse transfer progress jumped straight to ninety percent.

Li Cunxu was somewhat embarrassed.

Deprived of the curse source blood, the Golden Evil Dragon reverted to a beautiful girl, with her clothes torn when she turned into a dragon, now leaving her completely bare.

He was still lying on her, his head buried into her chest.

Li Cunxu quickly got up, brushing his clothes.

The curse transfer progress reached a hundred percent; all the dragon scales on the girl disappeared, Li Cunxu’s pupils turned into vertical dragon pupils, his left arm itching, as if dragon scales were about to grow out.

Li Cunxu squinted slightly, "The dragon curse has been suppressed. My previous conjecture was correct."

The cursed heart suppresses curses by curse confrontation, using one curse to suppress another curse. A body can only have one curse active.

For example, if a person is afflicted with both a hanging curse and a drowning curse, then the cause of death would most likely be being hanged under a bridge, where they are both hanged by a rope and drowned by the river beneath the bridge.

With the cursed heart, this person would only die from one curse—either by hanging or drowning—not both at the same time.

Isn’t it still death by curse?

No, it’s different.

Before death, either the hanging curse completely suppresses the drowning curse, and the hanging curse takes effect, or the drowning curse completely suppresses the hanging curse, and the drowning curse takes effect.

If a curse never fully suppresses the other curse, then the curse will never activate.

This is the principle of how the cursed heart suppresses curses.

Suppressing a curse with a curse.
