Chapter 10: Chapter Ten: Proposing Again

This spiritual curse was a strange and peculiar art. Unlike spiritual power, very few people in the Kingdom of Xiyao knew of it, let alone knew how to practice it, but it was extremely vicious.

The specific application of a spiritual curse depended entirely on how the caster executed the spell; they could command you to live or command you to die.

Judging by the condition of Hua Jinse's body, she had likely been struck by a Gate-Sealing Spiritual Curse. This curse blocked all of Hua Jinse's meridians, preventing her spiritual power from merging with her blood, which effectively turned Hua Jinse into a useless cripple.

And those who did not understand spiritual curses would be even less likely to detect it!

Fortunately, Huan Yao was a member of the world's number one demonic sect and possessed some knowledge of such things; otherwise, she would have been forced to accept herself as a cripple, unable to cultivate spiritual power for the rest of her life.

"Go to the Dragon Robe Ghost Forest to obtain a spiritual core. Once you have a spiritual core, your spiritual power will receive a great supplement, which will be of much help during your cultivation process!" Rong Jin spoke with extreme sincerity, his voice warm and gentle, as pleasant as a flowing stream.

Rong Jin's words served as a reminder to her. Divine beasts lived in the Ghost Forest; the larger the forest, the higher the level and the greater the variety of the divine beasts.

The spiritual cores obtained from hunting divine beasts could be sold for money or used for cultivation.

But the most important point was that certain spiritual herbs also grew within the Ghost Forest.

Some of these herbs could decide life or death, while others were indispensable for cultivating spiritual power.

Most importantly, Huan Yao knew which spiritual herb was required to break this spiritual curse!

"Thank you for the reminder." Having said that, Huan Yao brushed past Rong Jin.

Rong Jin's voice carried a hint of surprise: "You aren't planning on going by yourself, are you?"

The level of the divine beasts living in the Dragon Robe Ghost Forest was not low at all. If she accidentally encountered a third-level divine beast, she would be as good as dead.

"You aren't my father, you aren't my brother, and you aren't my man. Aren't you interfering too much?" Although Rong Jin had given her a reminder, Huan Yao's impression of him had not improved one bit.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe Rong Jin using the word "calculating"; otherwise, why would he have risked danger to break the engagement with Hua Jinse back then? It was nothing more than because he despised Hua Jinse for being a cripple.

Rong Jin froze. This sentence served as a reminder to him, and a wicked smile became increasingly wanton upon his smooth, jade-like face.

This woman was making him more and more curious.

Early in the morning, the doors of the Hua Manor were knocked upon. Chancellor Rong, Rong Jin, and guards carrying dozens of chests of gold and silver jewelry appeared outside the door.

In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, news that would shock heaven and earth and make gods and demons weep spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Xiyao.

"Has Young Master Rong gone mad? To actually want to become engaged again to that useless second miss of the Duke Hua Manor?"

"Bah, it's not an engagement, it's a wedding! It is said that the Duke Hua Manor has already agreed to this marriage and has already begun selecting a date for the wedding," someone immediately countered.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Young Master of the Rong Manor is no fool. I heard that the second miss of the Hua Manor was intentionally hiding her spiritual power. The day before yesterday, someone saw her with their own eyes striking her third and fourth younger sisters, leaving them injured. They probably haven't even woken up yet!" Someone else immediately retorted.

While the Hua Manor appeared calm on the surface, its interior had already exploded into chaos.

Hua Xiangwan had the strongest reaction upon hearing this news; she was the most formidable, leaping straight up from her bed.

On what grounds? She had liked Rong Jin for over ten years, practicing her spiritual power day and night just so she could be worthy of his status.

But who could have known that after all her hard work, Rong Jin would still fall into that wench's hands?

And it was even Rong Jin himself who had proposed it!

The reason she envied Hua Jinse was because, even though Hua Jinse had put in no effort and done nothing, she had easily become engaged to the man she loved.
