CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 17: PEACH BLOSSOM CURSE

At this moment, just as the Evil Dragon Curse was transferred, it was suppressed. This indicates that before the Evil Dragon Curse was transferred, Li Cunxu had already been cursed.

Moreover, this curse is extremely concealed, to the extent that Curse Master Tianxin didn’t detect it.

If it weren’t for the intervention of the Evil Dragon Curse causing Curse Master Tianxin’s ’one curse takes effect’ rule to activate, it wouldn’t have been noticed.

Li Cunxu used the power of the Evil Dragon Curse to sense the curse lurking within himself,

he saw peach blossoms fluttering all over the sky, and the moment they were about to fall, the blossoms were either torn apart by five horses, cut in half, burned, or drowned...

"As expected, it is the Peach Blossom Curse."

Using his overly good affinity with women as a doom, once it erupts, it is destined to be killed by a harem of women wielding choppers.

The biggest advantage of this curse is its concealment, making it difficult for others to detect.

If unprepared, even a King might fall under this curse.

Li Cunxu had actually vaguely sensed it.

Afraid of getting into trouble, he offended Stone Golden Soup, decisively switched schools, and left Seventeenth Middle School.

But when faced with the same issue at Eighteenth Middle School, despite knowing that Principal Mei Ruyu had a dislike for men and was a bigger trouble than Seventeenth’s Vice Principal Stone Golden Soup, he was unwilling to leave.

To this day, when he recalls it, he still finds it unreasonable.

Moreover, in the recent Strongest Newcomer Cup, he faced Lin Fei and Chen Baiyan, both male, while all other opponents were female. Is that reasonable?

Not at all.

And ever since childhood, there was the yandere Lin Qingwei who bullied him because she liked him but didn’t know how to express it.

All these unusual traces made Li Cunxu, once the number one on the path of curses in games, suspicious.

Furthermore, Li Cunxu understood the Peach Blossom Curse.

In the game, relying on the player’s invincibility, he visited every NPC Curse Master he could find to duel and exchange curses.

Among the many Curse Masters, one codenamed ’Rotten Peach Blossom’ left a deep impression on Li Cunxu because when cursed with the Peach Blossom Curse, he frequently encountered Mei Ruyu, and Mei Ruyu’s Eye of Medusa petrified players, sealing them for seven days.

"Who could have placed the Peach Blossom Curse on me?"

"Lin Qingwei has been entangled with me since kindergarten, indicating that I was cursed with the Peach Blossom Curse back then."

Parents’ enemies?

Probably not.

Since the enemies killed his parents, there’s no need to go through the trouble of using the Peach Blossom Curse to kill him, when they could have simply stabbed him to death.

The Peach Blossom Curse is a very advanced curse, only a Great Curse Master is qualified to cast it, and casting it is particularly troublesome.

Furthermore, the price of using the Peach Blossom Curse is enormous.

Grandfather Li Shiji’s enemy?

Probably not.

Li Shiji is a fierce person with a strong desire for revenge. Because of his ruthlessness, the high authorities in Tongdu unanimously agreed that Li Shiji should not be made Mayor of Tongdu. So, as long as Li Shiji is alive, his enemies wouldn’t dare to touch his family.

Grandfather Li Shiji’s lifelong hidden enemy in the shadows?

Probably not.

That person is also fierce, very patient, and only makes a move when it will be astonishing.

The only time he made a move, he wiped out Li Shiji’s entire family.

Therefore, there is no way he would do something that might alert the enemy, making Li Shiji aware that someone is plotting against his descendants.

Father’s several brothers?

They indeed have motives.

Firstly, they can hire a Great Curse Master, secondly, they have reasons to cast the curse.

Fighting for the family estate.

Li Cunxu knew how crazy they could be in their fight for the estate, even allowing wolves inside, giving Li Shiji’s lifelong enemy the chance to wipe out his family.

Hence, they are wary of anyone with the ability to potentially fight for the family estate.

Moreover, the Peach Blossom Curse kills without drawing attention, perfectly meeting their needs, killing him without arousing Li Shiji’s suspicions.

Is it them?

He is unsure, it’s only a guess.

Li Cunxu touched his heart, "Why think so much? When I get stronger, I’ll go find the Great Curse Master who cursed me and ask who did it."

"Uh... what about her?"

Looking at the graceful figure of the girl, Li Cunxu fell into a headache.

Leaving her as she is, wouldn’t do.

Help her get dressed? Waking up would be hard to explain.

Not helping would also be hard to explain when she wakes.

Li Cunxu was torn, finally covering her with a quilt to avoid seeing and thinking.

Lin Qingwei, although she likes him, her way of expressing it is so unique that she’s bullied him for over a decade, and those memories linger, making Li Cunxu quite dislike her.

"Actually, I can’t blame her, it’s the Peach Blossom Curse at work."

Rationally thinking this, emotionally, he still harbors resentment towards Lin Qingwei.

Just at that moment, Lin Qingwei awoke.

As her beautiful eyes opened, Li Cunxu’s murderous intent surged, and looking at Lin Qingwei’s slender neck, he wanted to twist it.

Killing Lin Qingwei now would be incredibly simple for Li Cunxu.

The Evil Dragon Curse has granted Li Cunxu dragon-like boundless power.

Kill her?

Or kill her?

Li Cunxu contemplated for a long time, and ultimately gave up the impulse.

If he killed her, wouldn’t Lin Jiusan fight him to death! The Lin Family would cause him trouble too.

Unless, Li Cunxu is willing to hide under Li Shiji’s protection. Not to mention the drawbacks of hiding under it, obtaining Li Shiji’s protection is a question too.

Li Shiji is a man who values family ties, but is also impartial, destroys loyalty with a just cause, a righteous man who can be demonized.

Moreover, things between Li Cunxu and Lin Qingwei hadn’t reached a life-and-death level.

The sudden surge of murderous intent in Li Cunxu was because of Lin Qingwei’s eyes.

Lin Qingwei’s Hundred Wood Eye bloodline ability had awakened, although this wasn’t the reason for Li Cunxu’s murderous intent. The real reason was that the word in Lin Qingwei’s eyes wasn’t ’Wood’, but ’Dragon’.

Lin Qingwei’s bloodline ability had mutated.

The Hundred Wood Eye had mutated into ’Hundred Dragon Eyes’.

And that was terrifying.

The Hundred Wood Eye bloodline of the Senmu Lin Family was never just about simply controlling plants. Such a simple ability wouldn’t rank it as Tongdu’s recognized fourth bloodline.

The true ability of the Hundred Wood Eye is to control the ecology of trees.

The Thousand Forest Eye controls the ecology of a woodland.

The Ten Thousand Forest Eye controls the ecology of a forest.

Then, what is the ability of Lin Qingwei’s awakened ’Hundred Dragon Eyes’?

To control the ecology of dragons?

Without mentioning the ability of the ’Hundred Dragon Eyes’, let alone the importance the Lin Family places on mutated bloodline abilities, which makes Li Cunxu very wary.

If someone else had awakened the ’Hundred Dragon Eyes’, Li Cunxu wouldn’t have cared. He has the unique Divine Endowment ability, coupled with gaming experience from a previous life, no matter how strong another’s ability is, as long as he didn’t meet an untimely death, Li Cunxu would surely surpass them.

But of all people, Lin Qingwei, his yandere admirer, awakened it.

Li Cunxu is deeply concerned that after gaining significance within the Lin Family, Lin Qingwei might use their power to imprison him.

Such a scenario is possible.

After all, who can predict the thoughts of a yandere?
