Chapter 440: Xiao Shao’s Confession

"The victim will lose all memory and feelings, and will only listen to and love the person who imposed the curse on them." Hu Wenfeng answered Xu Xiang’s question with a slight frown.

As soon as these words came out, the tent fell into silence. After listening to Hu Wenfeng’s explanation, Mu Yucheng’s sudden change in personality finally made some sense.

Xu Xiang lowered her eyes and thought: ’Could it be that the person who implanted the curse in Yucheng was Aojie Lei’er? Is this the reason why Yucheng married her? So he didn’t betray me, but was forced by Aojie Lei’er?’

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Xiang looked at Hu Wenfeng and asked, "Is there any way to lift the curse?"

Hu Wenfeng pointed to the jade scroll and said after a moment of silence: "This jade scroll records that there is only one way to lift the curse."

Xu Xiang, Xiao Shao, and Huan Yun looked at the jade scroll and discovered that the painting Hu Wenfeng pointed to was actually a formation. Xu Xiang looked up at Hu Wenfeng and asked, "What formation is this?"

Hu Wenfeng glanced at Xiao Shao for a second, then looked at Xu Xiang and said, "This is the blood sacrifice formation. The only way to lift the curse is blood sacrifice. Only the blood of someone who truly loves the victim and is truly loved by the victim can lift the curse. But ..."

Seeing Hu Wenfeng’s hesitation, Xu Xiang asked calmly: "But what?"

Hu Wenfeng looked at Xu Xiang’s calm face for a moment before saying, "But the success rate is not guaranteed. Also, the one who did the blood sacrifice ritual could lose their lives. The amount of blood required for the blood sacrifice ritual depends on the strength of the curse implanted inside the victim’s body. In this record, there are only two examples of the case of soul curse, and both people who performed the blood sacrifice ritual died in the process."

After saying that, Hu Wenfeng looked at Xu Xiang and said seriously: "The only one who can lift the curse on Young Master Mu is you, Miss Xu."

As soon as Hu Wenfeng finished speaking, Xiao Shao suddenly stood up and said, "You can’t do it!"

Xu Xiang turned to look at him, only to see him looking at her with worried and angry eyes. Xiao Shao clenched his hands tightly and said, "Miss Xu, you can’t do this. I won’t let you do this! I won’t allow you to sacrifice yourself for him!"

Looking at his expression and listening to his words, Xu Xiang suddenly realized something. She was silent for a long time, then looked at Xiao Shao and asked calmly: "Young Master Xiao, do you like me?"

When she asked this question, Xiao Shao’s body froze. He was silent for a long time, then looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Yes. I like you, Miss Xu. I liked you before you even met Young Master Mu."

Xu Xiang looked at his serious expression and recalled Xiao Shao’s attitude towards her after they met again in the Shen Gu Village and thought: ’So that time on the boat, he really meant what he said.’

Seeing that she didn’t speak for a long time, Xiao Shao summoned up his courage to ask: "Miss Xu, if... If I tell you my feelings back then on the boat, will you accept me instead of Young Master Mu?"

Xu Xiang thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "I don’t know. But unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world."

Perhaps, if Xiao Shao told her how he felt at that time on the boat, she would consider him and accept his feelings. Maybe after getting along with him for a while, she would love him as much as she loves Mu Yucheng now.

Or perhaps, she would recognize her feelings for Mu Yucheng earlier and reject Xiao Shao’s feelings earlier. But all of these assumptions would never happen in their reality anymore.

After hearing her answer, Xiao Shao looked at her calm expression for a moment and said, "Miss Xu, I will not let you sacrifice yourself for Young Master Mu. Even if I have to fight him and tie him up, I will definitely bring him back to you. I will definitely find a way to lift his curse."

After saying that, Xiao Shao knelt in front of Xu Xiang, held her hands, and looked into her eyes. He held her hand tightly and said in a pleading voice: "Miss Xu, please promise me that you won’t do that blood sacrifice ritual."

Xu Xiang stared into his eyes and said calmly: "I’m sorry, Young Master Xiao, I can’t promise you something I can’t do."

After hearing what she said, the light in Xiao Shao’s eyes dimmed. Seeing his expression, Xu Xiang stood up and pulled him up.

She smiled at him and said, "Young Master Xiao, thank you for your feelings for me. I’m sorry that I can’t reciprocate your feelings. But I believe that you will find someone better than me, because you deserve the best."

After hearing her words, Xiao Shao shook his head and said, "I only want you. In my eyes, no one can compare with you. Miss Xu, I will protect you. Even from yourself."

Xiao Shao hugged her for a long time after saying that, then let go and walked out of the tent. When he left, his eyes flashed with a cold light. Since Mu Yucheng is the one who put Xu Xiang in danger, then what he has to do is to kill Mu Yucheng. Only when Mu Yucheng dies can she live.

Xu Xiang didn’t know Xiao Shao’s plan to kill Mu Yucheng, so she sighed deeply before sitting down. Huan Yun looked at the troubled look on her face and asked, "Xu Xiang, do you really want to do this blood sacrifice ritual?"
