Chapter 107: Damn Orthodox Sect

"Are you alright, Shizune?" Yeomcheon asks with concern as she hugs me tightly, touching me all over as if searching for something while seeming a bit desperate.

’I have to be very careful... the level of danger from this woman is insane.’ She’s the type I really don’t want to upset.

"I-I’m fine... I just feel tired, as if something is clinging to my soul," I say, hugging her back. For now, it’s better to keep things this way and pretend to be tired.

"Don’t worry, Shizune, I’ll remove the disgusting curse afflicting you. Those damned orthodox sect members will pay! I’ll kill them all!" Her voice is full of hatred, and the murderous intent is clear in every word.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KILL YOU!" Yeomcheon quickly yells at the girl who was observing her affectionate exchange with me.

"Y-Yes, m-mistress," the girl quickly runs off, probably very afraid of becoming the next temporary dye for the floor and walls.

"How did this happen, Shizune? You seemed fine until yesterday! Even your injuries were healed by our best elixirs, how could you have fallen under such a strong curse?"

"I checked your health several times and only left the room when I was sure your injuries were nonexistent! And that you were completely fine, so how do you now have a curse?" She asks more to herself than to me.

"Those dirty rats pretending to be righteous, but using a trick as dirty as a curse!" She soon blames the orthodox sect, her face turning into a look of rage.

’She’s really very angry.’ I hug her tighter while stroking her head, and she seems to calm down a bit with that.

"Shizune, tell Yeomcheon that it might be a secret curse technique that activates over time! That will give it more credibility," Yui speaks to me, trying to help.

"Yeom, I feel tired... I think maybe it’s some kind of secret curse technique that works over time, which is why I seemed fine before, but now I’m tired and have a visible curse," She likes it when I call her Yeom.

"Yes... yes! It must be that! Those dirty rats who think they’re righteous must have hidden this to use against me, but don’t worry, Shizune, I won’t let you die, even if I have to give you part of my cultivation!"

’...’ This surprised me, I never imagined that an evil being like her would be willing to give up part of her power to save me, even though being weakened would make her an easier target for the many enemies she has.

"Wait a moment! I’ll see what other abnormalities are in your body before breaking your curse," She starts doing something with her hands, which have a faint golden glow.

’...This won’t work at all, but there’s no reason for me to try to stop her from checking, and it would be great if she somehow managed to break it, even though I know it’s impossible.’

"Shizune, she won’t be able to break your curse!" Yui warns the obvious that I already knew, there’s no way this Yandere can break my curse, the power level in this world is inferior to that of the demon king’s world.

So obviously this powerful martial artist can’t remove my curse, but I still stand there letting her do as she pleases.

We stay here for a while as she touches my body using this "golden palm" to find abnormalities.

"..." She looks at me in shock, probably because she can’t break the curse, it must be a blow to her pride as one of the strongest in the world.

"...Shizune...I-I..." She bites her lips, it must be difficult for her to admit that she can’t remove my curse when she is one of the strongest in the entire world and the only one who rivals her is another girl from the orthodox sect.

"I can’t remove your curse... at least your body is fine..." She sighs as she says it, trying to minimize the situation, but she’s clearly not happy with the result.

"You just feel tired, right? Then I’ll give you a bit of my vitality to meet any needs you may have," She speaks as she prepares to actually pass her vitality on to me.

"It’s not good to do that, Yeom, we don’t know what kind of curse I have, it could just hinder me. Imagine if it’s a curse that has a faster effect on cultivators or based on vitality or cultivation level," She stops what she was about to do.

"..."

"I... I’ll find a way, you trust me, right?" She tries to sound confident and trustworthy to me.

’Honestly, I don’t trust her, and I know she won’t find anything, but let it be.’ It’s not like I expected great things from this Yandere.

"Yes, I trust you," She’s one of the least reliable beings I can encounter at the moment, which is a misfortune.

"Great, then please rest a little, okay? Lie down and sleep a little longer," I agree to Yeom’s request and lie down completely on the bed.

"Have a good rest, Shizune..." She speaks with a gentle smile, but from what I remember of her, she’s probably going to take out her anger on the others after she leaves here.

"...Thank you, Yeom," For now, I’ll stay in the room talking to Yui and see what I’ll do and what knowledge is good to acquire for the future world.

...

...

...

"DAMN IT!" I punch a wall, causing it to crumble, I can’t believe I, as a celestial demon, let the girl I love be cursed.

’What should I do to save Shizune... and if this curse kills her... would killing who cursed her bring her back to normal?’ I don’t know what to do, it was my stupidity to think I could protect Shizune and fight that miserable bitch at the same time.

If it weren’t for this mistake, Shizune wouldn’t have been injured, although there was no way for me to know that that bitch would use an attack I didn’t know, catching me by surprise.

I quickly go to the secret area where I hide millions of scrolls I’ve obtained over my centuries of struggle and effort.

’I need to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible...’ I search among the various scrolls I have on curses, trying to find anything that resembles it so I can have a basis.

If I at least have something similar, I can try to figure out how to dispel or remove that curse on Shizune’s soul, honestly I’ve never seen anything like that before as far as I remember.

That black mass covering her soul is even a bit frightening, I wonder what effect it has and what would happen if it had hit me.

I have to fix this mistake, so I actively search for anything that can help me heal her, elixirs, secret techniques, more obscure techniques.

"There must be something I can use here... it’s impossible that there’s nothing," I rummage through millions of scrolls I’ve obtained from various sects, but the curse area is relatively scarce.

They are not very powerful, they can easily be overcome, and the high-level ones require conditions that are simply ridiculous, making them impractical against those who are strong.

I turn the area upside down looking for anything useful, but all I find are curses that have nothing to do with what I saw on Shizune, or curses that are too weak for something I can’t break.

"Damn, why is it so hard! If those trash from the orthodox sect have such a strong curse, why didn’t the other sects I destroyed also have extremely powerful and secret curse techniques?"

Even though I say that, my demonic sect also doesn’t have any extremely powerful and secret curse techniques.

"Tsk..." I don’t want Shizune to die, she is my only true weakness, I never thought that bitch would target Shizune, they have that stupid policy of not harming ordinary people and Shizune is an ordinary person, so they shouldn’t attack her.

They could at most imprison her if they defeated me so they could judge her crimes normally using the laws.

’Will I really have to try to negotiate with those vermin?’ If it’s for Shizune, I’m willing to try to negotiate with them, but it hurts my pride and shatters my honor as a celestial demon.

It would be the most humiliating thing in history for me, the great celestial demon, to have to try to make a deal with those damn self-righteous people.

’First, I’ll try to solve this on my own... I’ll spend the next few days with her and see if I can remove the curse alone, there must be a way, I just need to find it.’

It seems like a good plan to me, so I decide to follow through with it. I start putting the scrolls back in place while thinking more carefully about what to do.

I don’t know the effects of Shizune’s curse, so I have to be careful. Maybe I don’t have much time, so I’ll constantly check Shizune’s condition and see if I can do something. If in a week I’m unable to break her curse, I’ll give up and ask for negotiations with the orthodox sect.

No matter how much they hate me, they wouldn’t miss the chance to negotiate with me for something, be it scrolls, artifacts, weapons or elixirs, I know there are things I have that they want.

I can give them practically anything they want if Shizune comes out alive, but I also have to be careful not to make it too obvious that Shizune is my weakness, no one knows this.

They just think Shizune and I are a bit close, if they find out how much I love her, she’ll be in real danger.
