Chapter 142: Whatever You Do, Don't Let the Snake Lord See It
"You guys don't know what I've been through. Last night I was chased by Xia Xi!! Chased all night!! I didn't have time to go to the hospital, if I don't deal with Xia Xi soon, I will be dead."
Ye Jiqing was also desperate, if he went to the hospital now.
Xia Xi would definitely pursue him to the hospital, then he would have only one way out—death, so he had to resist Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye's arrangements.
The Ye Family seniors were all stunned, clearly unable to comprehend these words.
Ye Jiqing said to me and Beichen: "Don't mind my parents, they can't understand what I'm saying at all, follow me upstairs!"
Beichen and I silently followed behind him, into Ye Jiqing's room.
"Ye Jiqing, let me tell you, aside from being hunted by Xia Xi, which is dangerous, there's also a trace of a curse on you." When I saw Ye Jiqing in Spring Wind Town, I felt like he might have been cursed.
However, I didn't have experience in this area, I only used my Spiritual Eye to see the power of the curse, and I couldn't fully confirm this conclusion.
When I arrived in front of the Ye Residence and saw the black aura above the house,
I was certain that there must be an object bearing a curse inside the Ye Residence.
"A curse?" Ye Jiqing was slightly taken aback.
I explained patiently, "Your pupils are cloudy, and your sclera has blood spots—a typical sign of being cursed. This curse will slowly drain your Essence Blood, and tonight at midnight is the final deadline."
"What? After midnight, I..." Ye Jiqing was startled, "What will happen to me?"
Seeing him like this, it was clear that he had never realized he had been cursed.
I said with certainty: "You will die. The Monster possessing Xia Xi is seeking revenge on you, and you must find the cursed object before midnight."
"Then you must find it, quickly find it, I will pay whatever you ask." Ye Jiqing's face turned even paler in an instant.
I nodded, "Show me everything Xia Xi gave you."
"Alright, I'll find everything right now." Ye Jiqing began rummaging through his belongings, finding a lot of items.
There were diamond rings, watches, shoes, necklaces, bracelets, and the like...
It was evident that Xia Xi had really put her heart into the gifts she gave him when she was alive.
Using my Spiritual Eye, I surveyed the area and my gaze settled on a purple amethyst bracelet emitting black energy.
I was about to pick it up to see what exactly was going on, but Beichen stopped me.
Beichen took out a handkerchief and wrapped the amethyst bracelet in it, "The evil energy on this is too great, don't touch it directly."
"Is this bracelet the thing that's cursed?" Ye Jiqing asked.
"Yes, we must dispose of this bracelet." I nodded.
Beichen stroked his chin, "The curse on this is strong, and the crystal is sturdy; it can't be burned away or smashed, it was deliberately chosen as a medium by the one who cast the curse."
"I might need to make a Thunder Summoning Garment." I said.
As the name suggests, wearing a Thunder Summoning Garment grants the ability to control thunder and lightning.
"You didn't bring any materials, how can you make it?"
Beichen asked, skeptical.
I asked Ye Jiqing for paper and pen, and directly sketched a sample of the Thunder Summoning Garment on the paper, "The materials for the Thunder Summoning Garment have been lost, Granny Wu doesn't sell them. I can only use ordinary fabric, that should work to make a temporary one."
Before coming here, I had already planned to use a temporary Thunder Summoning Garment to deal with various difficulties.
This garment would probably be the most powerful attacking garment in the Yin Yang Life and Death Embroidery, in terms of attack power.
If I had worn it when encountering Qingyang, I wouldn't have been so brutally beaten."
"Since you've already decided, then I must remind you of something."
Beichen, who had only slept a while in the taxi, rubbed his temples, looking a bit weary, "After making the garment, you must not let the Snake Lord see it, understand?"
