Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Heavenly Master 78

After examining for quite some time, Situ Shuangshuang finally noticed something on Gong Zichen’s heart! She discovered a faint, pink, worm-like thing wriggling incessantly on Gong Zichen’s heart!

Seeing Situ Shuangshuang silent for a long time, Gong Lanfang couldn’t help but anxiously ask Situ Shuangshuang, ”Shuangshuang, have you figured out what’s wrong with Zichen?”

Situ Shuangshuang nodded, then extended her finger to point at the pink, worm-like thing for Gong Lanfang to see. Gong Lanfang, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, took a close look and indeed saw that pink, worm-like object!

Gong Lanfang gasped in shock! She asked Situ Shuangshuang in disbelief, ”What is that? Could it be the legendary soul-devouring parasite?”

Situ Shuangshuang shook her head again, ”No, although this thing looks like a worm, it’s not actually a worm but a carrier of a curse! This thing seems like a living worm, but it actually has no life. It’s a Love Curse!”

”Love Curse?” Gong Lanfang looked at Situ Shuangshuang with confusion, ”What is that?”

Gong Lanfang had never heard of a Love Curse before; she only knew the famous Love Gu, because many novels contain such plots, like a Barbarian Woman who likes to play with Gu. If she falls for a man from another tribe, she would cast a Love Gu on him to make him love her or prevent his heart from changing.

Seeing Gong Lanfang’s confusion, Situ Shuangshuang explained: ”Cultivators like us practice different Magic Doors. For instance, as a Heavenly Master, I’m primarily focused on Arrays, self-cultivation, and talismans. What we do is capture ghosts, ward off evil, and soothe souls. Besides, other common ones include Feng Shui Master and Calculators. Feng Shui Masters evaluate feng shui and locate acupoints, while Calculators read faces, feel bones, and foresee fortune, predicting people’s fate. However, feng shui and divination are inseparable; those proficient in feng shui are inevitably good at calculations too.”

”Apart from Heavenly Masters, Feng Shui Masters, and Calculators, there’s another group, the Curse Masters. Curse Masters are the hardest to distinguish between good and evil, as they master various bizarre spells, harmful curses, helpful blessing spells, and many other chaotic curses, like the Love Curse your nephew is afflicted by!”

”Can my nephew’s Love Curse be lifted? Is it powerful? This thing growing on his heart, won’t it harm Zichen’s body?” Gong Lanfang, unaware of what a Curse Master or Heavenly Master is, cares only about whether her nephew’s Love Curse can be lifted and if it will hurt his body!

Situ Shuangshuang glanced at the tense-faced Gong Lanfang and ignored Gong Shixuan, whose anxious, burning gaze almost pierced through her upon hearing that Gong Zichen was afflicted with a Love Curse.

Situ Shuangshuang pulled out a piece of talisman paper, ignited it, and placed it in Gong Zichen’s body, calmly telling Gong Lanfang: ”Unless it’s a blessing spell that exhausts the Curse Master’s cultivation, it will be harmful to the body. The simplest damage of a Love Curse is that once a man is afflicted, part of his anger is absorbed by the Love Curse, manifesting as longevity reduction! How powerful the curse is depends on the Curse Master’s strength.”

At this point, Situ Shuangshuang raised her head high, nodding her chin towards Gong Zichen lying on the sofa, ”Seeing him so obsessed now with a woman he wouldn’t usually fancy, this curse’s power isn’t trivial, but I can still handle it!”

What Situ Shuangshuang just used was a Binding Curse Talisman. As the name suggests, this talisman can bind all curses! Situ Shuangshuang restrained the Love Curse to prevent its owner from discovering when she acts later. If the other party doesn’t care about Gong Zichen’s body and lets the Love Curse into the heart, it will be troublesome.

A Love Curse floating above the heart indicates that although the curse has been cast, the other party still cares about Gong Zichen’s body. Although the Love Curse inevitably consumes some of Gong Zichen’s lifespan, it only reduces by ten or eight years at most. Once the Love Curse enters the heart, it can never be undone.

Once the Love Curse enters the heart, Gong Zichen will not only be utterly devoted to the curse-caster, living and dying for them; their words will become the meaning of his life. At that time, rather than calling the one affected by the Love Curse a lover, it would be better to say they’re the slave of the other party, an ever-obedient slave who will never rebel.

These are still manageable; the biggest danger of the Love Curse entering the heart is that Gong Zichen’s Life Force will quickly be consumed by the Love Curse, and he’ll live no more than twenty years before his vitality is exhausted, leading to death!

Having confirmed the Love Curse, and since the other party has already broken the rules, it’s time to truly show one’s skills. For Situ Shuangshuang to lift Gong Zichen’s Love Curse is akin to engaging in a supernatural duel with the curse-caster from afar, to see whose ability is superior!

Before starting, Situ Shuangshuang solemnly took out a rectangular box from the Storage Talisman in her palm, opened it to reveal it was filled with thin, long incense sticks, and stingily took out three.

The three people in the living room, still stunned by Situ Shuangshuang’s skill of taking things out of thin air, showed deep fascination when she took out the incense!

The aroma from the incense was incredibly pleasant! As soon as it entered the mind, there was an exhilarating sense of clarity, and the whole body felt comfortable and relaxed, as if entering a deep sleep!

This incense was handcrafted by Situ Shuangshuang. Once burned, its scent could be directly absorbed by a God, something even Gods cherish, let alone humans. Situ Shuangshuang took out the incense intending to light it and invite Divine Power to protect her from her opponent’s sinister tricks during the duel.

People often say that Gods have declined due to a lack of human faith, but that’s merely self-consolation; in reality, Gods always existed, whether people believe or not, unaffected by human faith. Gods don’t rely on human belief to survive.

Human faith, to a God, is like a supreme delicacy, like the best mental elixir; beneficial if available, but inconsequential if not. However, it’s undeniable that if one’s pure faith can please a God, it’s possible to receive a moment of divine favor.

Situ Shuangshuang, of course, has no pure faith to offer to the countless deities. In her past life, she believed in herself, and in this life, she believes in the person who gave her rebirth, with no belief to offer to the Gods, who observe human life and death with cold eyes!

So, Situ Shuangshuang decided to offer incense to invite Divine Power; lacking faith, she would instead cater to their preferences. Situ Shuangshuang’s incense had a profound effect. Its fragrance, when burned, is more intoxicating to Gods than the faith of believers! Surely, the deity she’s invoking won’t refuse such an offering.

This incense is specially used by Heavenly Masters during supernatural duels to invite Divine Power for protection. However, nowadays, there are fewer Heavenly Masters capable of making this incense!

Even Situ Shuangshuang’s master, Chen Qi, couldn’t create it, as the requirements for making this incense are too stringent! After reincarnating, Situ Shuangshuang spent seven or eight years producing only twenty boxes of this incense.
