The King of Curses
Chapter 69 - 69 29 Driver's Self-Cultivation_2

69: Chapter 29 Driver’s Self-Cultivation_2 69: Chapter 29 Driver’s Self-Cultivation_2 The enormous energy within her was unimaginable until Kong Yulin experienced it herself.

It might have surpassed any Cursing Forbidden Master in history.

“I must say, perhaps in this world, only you, Boss…”

Kong Yulin complimented again, but this time it was sincere.

“I truly am.”

An Zhizhen’s response was even more straightforward as she said calmly.

“So, is this a level you specifically set apart to distinguish yourself from other Cursing Forbidden Masters, Boss?”

“No, someone told me about this term.”

The other party replied with a smile.

“If I were that arrogant, I would call myself the ‘King of Curse’ by now.

The fact that ‘Special Class’ was divided means there is more than one person wielding such power.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Yulin was shocked beyond words.

“That person also warned me to be careful.

Every Special Grade Curse Prohibition possesses rules-disrupting and world-defying powers…

Yin Lian, what’s your first reaction to these words?”

“This, is this true?

No, I’m not doubting you, but after all…”

“Rather than trusting me, you can trust him more.”

The woman’s tone was calm but with an undeniable firmness.

“So, what do you think?”

The question was repeated again.

“…”

If Kong Yulin had to say what thought popped first into her mind, it was naturally…

the future of this world was truly worrying.

There was more than one such monster.

Without doubt, figures like An Zhizhen, every single one of them had the capability to cause worldwide destruction and chaos.

Could ordinary people really survive in such a world?

Until this moment, Kong Yulin never thought she had a bit of a heart for the country and its people—

“…Ah.”

She suddenly felt a chill.

Did she just call her Boss a “monster”?

However, she didn’t seem to receive any punishment…

Kong Yulin couldn’t help but glance at the rearview mirror, where her boss was still smiling in the back seat, not angry at all.

It meant that this term wasn’t in the forbidden vocabulary, and she didn’t oppose being called a monster.

The boss’s self-assessment was…

how to say, quite self-aware…

“Was it Mr.

Cen Dongsheng who said that?”

“Oh, you could guess?”

“The only one the boss could trust this much is probably him.”

“That’s quite right,” An Zhizhen said, “Anyway, my first reaction was, ‘how did he know?’ You would think that too, right?”

“…

Mr.

Cen knew about Special Grade Curse Prohibition before meeting the boss.”

“Yes, it’s even possible he himself is a holder of Special Grade Curse Prohibition.”

Kong Yulin thought about it, though it wasn’t as terrifying as when An Zhizhen used her power, the experience of being crushed to dust by a whole star, bringing a soul-level shock.

However, the man being burned to a skeleton in battle and still resurrecting was indeed exaggerated, and she was equally shocked at the time.

Moreover, maybe that wasn’t even his full power.

“It’s said that anyone who wields Special Grade Curse Prohibition can resist my ‘Heavenly Leader,’ so actually, I have a way to get answers…”

An Zhizhen sighed.

“Unfortunately, I already promised Dongsheng not to use my abilities on him.

It sure makes me feel a bit itchy.”

Kong Yulin stayed silent.

Both of them were monsters, big monsters and small monsters, monster women, and monster men…

it suited them well.

She already knew these two had a very close relationship, akin to lovers, and if possible, she really wished to be spared from hearing her boss’s ramblings about that young man again.

But apparently, Kong Yulin’s thoughts did not reach An Zhizhen’s ears, and the woman’s questions were not yet over.

“Based on this, I thought of something else.”

The woman sighed gently.

“I think I have hidden my abilities well enough not to attract attention.

If Dongsheng approached me because of the Special Grade Curse Prohibition on me, how did he notice?

If not for that, then why did he intentionally approach me?”

Kong Yulin was shocked.

Could it be that her boss developed suspicions about Cen Dongsheng?

No, her boss had just said she “trusted him the most,” and now suddenly she flipped?

I really can’t follow this person’s pace…

“Boss, are you having doubts about Mr.

Cen—”

“I have suspected he had ulterior motives for a long time.

A month ago, I started investigating Dongsheng’s past.

According to him, he grew up in an orphanage and later encountered an old man by chance, learning the knowledge of a Cursing Forbidden Master from that person…

none of that is strange, but I have investigated all the records since his birth, checked all the found video and photo records, and confirmed that until college, he was just a kid who stayed in school studying every day.

But you’ve seen his skills and fought him; you must have noticed he has rich combat experience, which is not something a student could achieve, right?”

“…”

Facing her boss’s torrents of words, Kong Yulin was speechless.

How scary, she began to feel sympathy for that young man…

is it really necessary to continue associating with such a woman?

“Sigh, I couldn’t help it.

I intended to turn a blind eye, but Dongsheng was too deliberate at first.

It seems he didn’t have experience in dealing with girls, and his intent was quite obvious…

hehe, since you’re here, help me analyze.”

An Zhizhen rested her chin in her hand, smiling brightly as she posed the question again,

“Yin Lian, what do you think?”

—Could you please stop asking me for my opinion!

Kong Yulin was nearly breaking out in a cold sweat.

Listening to her boss complain about her private life and even suspecting a lover…

it’s the worst topic in the world.

No matter what side her response stood on, a subordinate like her would not fare well, and would be remembered for it afterward.

Her “job” was truly unusual, filled with danger at every turn.

“Why, is this question that hard to answer?”

Her boss wouldn’t let her go, continuing to press.

Kong Yulin began to wonder if this person was deliberately making fun of her…

While racking her brains on how to respond, she suddenly recalled the experience where she almost slit her throat—

“To understand my relationship with Dongsheng as so sordid and cheap is really unpleasant; as punishment, you’ll become mute for life.”

She remembered her boss saying something like that, indicating she didn’t care about Cen Dongsheng’s deliberate approach from the beginning.

Moreover, Kong Yulin herself benefitted from his presence to escape jeopardy, and from then on, she learned to be cautious in words and actions.

“——Maybe, perhaps…

Mr.

Cen was just smitten with admiration upon meeting you, Boss, smitten at first sight, without much reason…”

She replied awkwardly, not daring to turn her head back.

Inside the car, a tense silence lingered for several seconds, during which Kong Yulin glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror, who clapped her hands together, her smile blooming like flowers.

“Ah!

You explained it well.

I think that’s exactly it!”

An Zhizhen praised her cheerfully.

“Thanks for your answer, Yin Lian.

I overthought it.

Dongsheng probably approached me because he was smitten at first sight, and there’s nothing strange about that.

Although being a bit obsessed with appearances isn’t great, maybe he’d fall for another pretty woman later…

but after all, boys at this age can be forgiven.”

Finally…

Finally got through this!

Kong Yulin let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, entirely uninterested in attending to her boss’s chattering from the back.

She wished she could make time fly tenfold faster and step on the gas pedal to the floor.

In stark contrast to Kong Yulin, sitting in the back seat was An Zhizhen, who was speaking to someone on the phone—with her radiant smile, it was clear that the person on the other end was none other than the Cen Dongsheng they had been discussing.

Up ahead, traffic flowed, streetlights flickered, and Kong Yulin anxiously tapped on the steering wheel.

The road to the destination seemed so long…
