Chapter 254: Episode 23.5 The Truth About Blood Curse

The great spirit Qilin agreed to help Bai Tingfeng.

This is good news.

Little Yanyan no longer cared if the beautiful sister didn’t read his picture book. He’s simply ecstatic that his father will be free from his problem from now on.

Jumping on his papa’s lap and kissing on the cheeks, the little boy’s presence made the atmosphere more heartwarming.

Chairman Mao is all smiles, totally forgetting the bitter pill of the fact that the great spirit Qilin turned him down for the nth time. He’s just happy that a promising young man on his side finally got a chance to level up, and he was allowed to witness the entire process.

All thanks to Shen Yuan.

Mo

Chairman Mao didn’t know what sorcery Shen Yuan used to make the great spirit Qilin trust and listen to him.

The cunning old man wasn’t aware that the sly fox was using the BL card and I-am-a-harmless-human card so damn well.

The group is seated around the wooden rectangular table, with the beautiful-now fujoshi Qilin occupying the head seat.

It’s time for settling accounts.

In a festive mood, Shen Yuan started talking.

"You know, we are ecstatic to know how to cure the blood curse. However, why don’t we—"

The platinum blonde omega’s word was politely interrupted by the auspicious beast.

"I hate to interrupt," Yuqi raised her hand like a good student."But I want to clarify: by using the word cure, do you mean to eradicate the blood curse completely?"

Shen Yuan and the others paused.

Now, that is a good question.

Shen Yuan smirked and gave the Qilin a kind look.

Aside from being a book addict and a rotten girl, it seems like this fujoshi sister is really sharp. Props to the sagely Qilin race.

They are naturally sensitive to words.

"Well, whether to completely remove it or not depends on the methods you have," Shen Yuan exchanged a knowing look with his husband.

"Personally, I want a method that will let me use my full power. I noticed that my strength and power exponentially rose in blood curse mode. It would be great if I could harness that power without going berserk," Bai Tingfeng said steadfastly.

Unlike others whose eyes would reflect greed when speaking about attaining power, Bai Tingfeng’s eyes are as calm as an undisturbed lake. Because of this, he didn’t know that he won the favor of the Qilin.

"Ambitious," Chairman Mao nodded his head with satisfaction.

It was a pleasure for him to see a risk-taking young man. This is the angst that is missing among the young, powerful awakeners.

"I see," Yuqi trailed off. Her eyes disguise a smile. "Actually, I intend to offer you two options. But it seems like you already have ideas."

The Qilin threw a penetrating gaze at Bai Tingfeng. "One of the methods I have could keep up with your desire. However, it is very dangerous, and I want you to decide once you fully understand the blood curse."

A sound decision can only be achieved if one deeply understands the matter.

Shen Yuan and the others all looked at each other, and without saying a word, a decision was made.

"Sure, we would love to know more about the blood curse."

Contrary to its name, the blood curse is not really a curse. It is not a disease that one needs to cure. Instead, it is a special condition that stems from the "blessing" that happened ages ago.

"You see, the blessings that my fellow spirits gave the selected few humans aren’t as simple as uttering spells that let them use a fraction of the spirit’s power."

To use a baihu’s power, it is only logical that humans must possess some part of the baihu.

"My fellow spirits tore a small part of their spiritual core to grant the humans the ability to use their power."

"What?" Out of nowhere, Shen Yuan let out a loud exclamation.

Pardon his scandalous reaction, but it is reasonable for him, as a celestial fox spirit, to react this way.

He knows the importance of the spiritual core more than Chairman Mao and Bai Tingfeng.

A spiritual core holds the life force and powers of the spirit, and tearing it— even though it’s only a fraction— is almost the same as cutting half of one’s limbs!

Shen Yuan is a vengeful person, but that doesn’t mean he’s not empathetic. Thinking about the sacrifice of the spirits of this world, his chest had a dull ache.

Bai Tingfeng sensed the depressing air coming from Shen Yuan, so to chase away the sadness, he grabbed Shen Yuan’s hand and gave it a light squeeze.

"I..." Skinship is an effective way to pull Shen Yuan back to the present. He realized his blunder, so he babbled.

"That sounds painful on the part of the spirits."

It was the first time Yuqi the Qilin received some empathy, and she was touched. Aside from her, no one still alive knows the real story of the spirit’s blessing.

It is quite sad that humans only see blessings as boosting one’s awakened power. In her opinion, it must also be made known to everyone that her fellow spirits gave a big sacrifice.

It’s a pity that before her fellow spirits returned to the spirit realm, she received an order not to tell the humans that they have weakened openly, and returning to the realm is for them to regain their lost power safely.

Well, she deemed that telling this information to this group is safe—especially with Shen Yuan, who is empathetic to their pains.

"You don’t have to worry about them. For us spirits, it’s only a matter of time before we regain our lost powers."

It was true. Spirits build their strength with time. And with most of them staying in the spirit realm, it has to be said that they have the most comfortable place to recuperate.

Shen Yuan heaved a sigh. The spirit’s problem is their own. They are here to sort out the blood curse, so he asked.

"Then, this fragment of spiritual core bestowed by the sports has something to do with the blood curse?"

"Indeed," Yuqi answered, and a trace of guilt again appeared in her eyes. "We are late to find out that not only the powers of the spirits are passed through that fragment but also the spirit’s most primal instincts and desires. The berserk behavior that awakeners manifest when using their full powers is the primal instinct of the spirit that bestowed their blessing surfacing."

"Not many could trigger this special condition since not many from the family that received the blessing have strong compatibility with the spirit who blessed them. It could be said that only those who manifested the blood curse are born with strong resemblance with the spirit."

Bai Tingfeng clenched his right fist. What’s the use of strong powers if it isn’t usable?

He fell into deep contemplation, and suddenly, he realized something.

"If the fragment of primal instinct and desire is mixed with the power of the great spirit, then it means eradicating the fragment to stop the berserk behavior is the same as giving up the powers of the baihu!"

Shen Yuan heard it and returned a questioning gaze at the Qilin.

"That is indeed the case. However, you must remember that it’s impossible to take back the powers and the fragments. You can only keep the fragment under control by two methods."

Not only Bai Tingfeng but everyone shifted in their seats upon hearing the Qilin’s words.

Now that they finally understand the nature of the "blood curse," it is time for them to decide how to deal with it.

"The first option has the fastest result and the least danger. I, with my knowledge as a Qilin, could force the fragment to a deep slumber. Mr. Bai Tingfeng will no longer be plagued with the problems of going berserk. However, since the fragment is dormant, it also means that he will no longer be able to draw the power that he normally uses when in berserk mode."

Bai Tingfeng’s face is full of disagreement.

"I want to protect my family, and my current power is not enough."

Before more words were said, Yuqi the Qilin nodded and quickly added.

"Which is why I’m telling you the second option. But before you choose this option, please remember that injuries and failure have much darker consequences. You could end up in eternal slumber if things went south."

Despite the generous warning, Bai Tingfeng remained firm. It doesn’t matter what the second option entails. As long as he becomes stronger, he will choose the second option.

"No matter your decision, I am with you," Shen Yuan whispered to Bai Tingfeng.

Seeing that the couple was unshaken, the Qilin no longer held them in suspense.

"I could help establish a spiritual connection between you and the fragment of the bahu’s instincts and desire, and from that, you must do your best to overpower it and be recognized as its new master."

Yuqi the Qilin pointed her finger at Bai Tingfeng and said in a clear, loud voice.

"To get the power you desire, you must prove that you have the qualities comparable to the great spirit of Baihu, Bai Tingfeng!"
