The King of Curses
Chapter 49 - 49 20 An·Zhi·Zhen

49: Chapter 20 An·Zhi·Zhen 49: Chapter 20 An·Zhi·Zhen “Did you, did you hear what I just said clearly?”

Sister Zhi Zhen’s words were truly shocking.

Cen Dongsheng widened his eyes, thinking that he must have misheard.

“Clearly, Dongsheng means that once you use that, we’ll be more closely connected…”

Sister Zhi Zhen blinked her innocent big eyes.

“What kind of connection?

It’s a master-slave relationship, you would become my slave, understand?”

“I understand, didn’t I say that?

As long as it’s voluntary, I have no problem with it.”

She looked as serious as a little student answering a teacher’s question in class.

“…”

Cen Dongsheng didn’t know how to react at that moment.

He covered his face with his hand and began sighing heavily, feeling that all his previous struggles and worries were now a joke.

…

He liked Sister Zhi Zhen’s current personality, and their time together had been quite pleasant.

But in his view, if he really used deceitful means, once she realized it, such a relationship could no longer be sustained.

However, the emotional issues could even be set aside, for now—

He had personally experienced the highest level of Special Grade Curse Prohibition, and even in his incomplete form, it was beyond what “A B C D” could handle.

Future An Zhizhen was not a common Special Grade Curse Forbidden Master but was above it as an “Ancestor.” Even those at the “Class A3” level could violate the contract and kill the master.

Such a person could never willingly hand over their weaknesses to others, even at a certain cost.

If he did something wrong…

at that time, he couldn’t even imagine what his fate would be, probably not something as simple as death.

Even if he somehow survived, he didn’t want to dig a big pit for his future just for a little profit, running and hiding in constant fear under the shadow of a dreadful enemy.

He had thought about a lot, a lot, but…

He never imagined that someone would completely not care about this matter, as if she didn’t mind her personal dignity or freedom being taken away at all.

“…Sigh.”

He had made his judgment after careful thought and decision-making, but An Zhizhen’s response was so pure that he was deeply shaken.

Even a fool wouldn’t easily say such a thing.

Sister Zhi Zhen was not a fool; she just trusted him wholeheartedly.

However…

Wasn’t this emotion a bit too heavy?

From the moment they agreed to be partners and she mentioned “only one for a lifetime,” he already found it strange.

A lifetime was no big deal, but “only one” wasn’t certain.

Holding onto multiple opportunities wasn’t a bad thing, after all.

Cen Dongsheng gathered his thoughts and shook his head.

“No.”

“No?

I thought it was a great opportunity…”

Sister Zhi Zhen seemed genuinely regretful.

Cen Dongsheng suppressed the urge to complain and explained earnestly:

“We are partners, right?

Not just any random relationship.

How could I use it on you?”

She hesitated, then said:

“Okay, we can discuss it more in the future…”

Why is this not over yet?

“There is no future for this.”

Cen Dongsheng emphasized.

“I believe the foundation of a partnership is equality.

If one side can completely control the other in a master-slave relationship, it can’t be called equal.”

“—”

An Zhizhen blinked, not immediately responding, but instead plunged into some sort of long contemplation.

“Equality…

equality, huh…”

“Your turn to be dazed?”

Cen Dongsheng waited for a while and, seeing she didn’t speak, asked.

“Yeah, I was thinking about some things…”

An Zhizhen looked thoughtful.

However, she quickly returned to normal, smiling and asking.

“So, how do you plan to deal with this thing?”

“I’ll keep it with me.”

Cen Dongsheng didn’t hesitate to refine it with True Qi for his own use.

Refining it didn’t mean he had to use it.

Using it might even affect the “Three Talents,” occupying a position before breaking through his birth horoscope.

But after all, it was a unique and peculiar item in the world, who knew when it might come in handy?

“Huh, not planning to use it on me but putting it away…

are you planning to use it on someone else?”

Sister Zhi Zhen’s tone was strange.

“I don’t have such a target.”

Cen Dongsheng replied casually.

At that moment, a subtle thought suddenly arose in his mind.

—Come to think of it, the Blood Contract was somewhat similar to the “Heavenly Leader.”

But judging from the effects, it was countless times more powerful and domineering than the Blood Contract, with the scale of the people it could control and influence being incomparable…

Although he wasn’t sure what kind of ability the so-called “Heavenly Leader” entailed, at least the name gave no real insight, making him quite curious.

However, since their relationship was already so close, maybe one day he could see it for himself…?

He shook his head, temporarily casting the thought aside; it wasn’t the time for such things now.

Cen Dongsheng began discussing with Sister Zhi Zhen about the preparations ahead, mostly about how to refine True Qi and lay the foundation for becoming a Curse Forbidden Master, which would help her awaken her birth horoscope.

After chatting for a while, An Zhizhen noticed he looked a bit tired and said:

“You just woke up; your body hasn’t adapted yet.

Rest a bit longer…

oh, and I made some soup for you, I’ll bring it over soon.”

“Wait, I have one more question.

That Curse Forbidden Master, Kong Yulin, where did she go?”
