"Is it true that your boss was cursed by the Demon from Wa Country?" Mei Yulou asked.
"I don't think this is a simple curse; it seems to be a combination of poison and curse. From what I remember, Uncle Mei was first cursed and then poisoned. The combination resulted in such a potent toxicity. If the old man had made just a slight mistake, even without my emergency treatment, I believe Uncle Mei wouldn't have died. He would have just been in a worse state. With my emergency treatment, I can ensure that the poison won't reach his heart, giving the Mei Family a chance in any future negotiations," Xiao Yefeng replied.
"But is the Demon’s curse related to the Zhu Family?" Mei Chuanqiong asked after understanding the situation.
"How could it not be? Old man, let me tell you the truth! This is something only I know, and it all started when I arrived in Hangzhou and coincidentally ran into you on the plane!" Xiao Yefeng then shared everything he knew with the Mei Family father and son.
After hearing Xiao Yefeng's account, both faces of the Mei Family turned purple-black. Especially when they heard that Zhu Ganglie had sent people to install cameras in Courtyard No. 3 and even captured private photos and videos of the Two Goddesses, Mei Chuanqiong's tiger-like eyes were filled with a layer of Blood Mist, clearly reflecting the initial fusion of Dracula's Blood.
"Bastard! How dare the Zhu Family reach out to us, the Mei Family! I'm mobilizing my men right now; tonight, I'll tear down their Zhu Family!" With that, Mei Chuanqiong was about to call his brother.
However, he was stopped by Xiao Yefeng. Afterward, Xiao Yefeng mentioned that all those materials had been destroyed by him. The thief was currently in a coma at the hospital, which relieved the Mei Family father and son. However, Xiao Yefeng saw a killing intent in Mei Chuanqiong's eyes. Clearly, while he might not dare to kill Zhu Family father and son, that thief had definitely seen the video. At this moment, Mei Chuanqiong's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty rage.
"Uncle Mei, don't worry! I, Xiao Yefeng, will make sure there are no oversights! That thief won't survive until New Year; he'll die in his coma—Brain Death!" Xiao Yefeng assured.
"Are you using a curse? You must know that as a Geomancer, cursing someone will bring condemnation!" Mei Yulou said with concern. Although Xiao Yefeng was not related to him by blood, he had preserved the face of the Mei Family by destroying those videos and images. At this moment, Mei Yulou was genuinely worried.
"Old man, rest assured! I merely stimulated his brain nerves with acupuncture. I just got out of prison and don’t want to go back yet!" Xiao Yefeng said with a smile.
"Oh, that's good to hear. By the way, Mr. Xiao, how did you know my elder brother was cursed?" Mei Chuanqiong asked.
"If it weren't for your meeting with the Zhu Family, I wouldn't have remembered what it was!" Xiao Yefeng explained to them.
It turned out everything clicked for Xiao Yefeng when he first encountered Mei Baizhu; he caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance from him! That scent was nothing other than a special substance cultivated by the Yin Yang Master of Wa Country. Coincidentally, it triggered a memory from an ancestor's record.
The Stinging Fragrance Bug! A creature raised by female slaves of the Yin Yang Master of Wa Country. This bug has only one ability: amplification; it can enhance any scent. These female slaves would crush the Stinging Fragrance Bugs and dry them out! They would then mix it into a transparent sticky liquid. Generally speaking, these female slaves served as tools for these Onmyoji's desires. To avoid being tortured by their eccentric Onmyoji masters, they would apply this liquid made from Stinging Fragrance Bugs on their private parts to attract them so that their masters would hesitate to kill them.
Anyone who has had an encounter with such a female slave would become addicted to this feeling like drug addiction; however, this sweet fragrance is what makes Stinging Fragrance Bugs unique. Moreover, Stinging Fragrance Bugs are essential for these female slaves to cast Japanese-style curses. Therefore, some Female Onmyoji would use their bodies as bait to entice powerful Geomancers from Wa Country into an irresistible desire for them.
Thus, Xiao Yefeng was certain that Mei Baizhu must have been with a woman skilled in using Stinging Fragrance Bugs who successfully cursed him—the esteemed medical master. As for the final poison? If Xiao Yefeng guessed correctly, it must be from the herbal tea that Mei Baizhu drank regularly!
"That's not right! Master Xiao, my brother drinks this kind of tea! And we drink it too! If this tea is poisonous, how come we're fine?" Mei Chuanqiong asked in confusion.
"That's simple, Uncle Mei! It's because we haven't been poisoned by the Stinging Fragrance Bug!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Exactly! Now I understand! The Stinging Fragrance Bug, known as the Immortal Spirit Bug in Huaxia, only lives beneath a specific type of herb's rhizome, which is the Three-Branch Nine-Leaf Grass! This herb has extensive applications in certain areas of Huaxia! When combined with this unique bug, it becomes even more remarkable. The powder from the Immortal Spirit Bug can nourish yin and replenish yang when taken over a long period. Unfortunately, it cannot be taken simultaneously with honeysuckle; otherwise, the user will definitely be poisoned and suffer from gastrointestinal spasms!" Mei Yulou explained.
"But it shouldn't be this potent; this poison is lethal!" Mei Yulou scratched his head.
"I don't know about that, but one thing is certain: we won't understand everything until Uncle Mingmei wakes up!" Xiao Yefeng said.
"That's all we can do. I also feel that after a night’s rest, the boss will wake up. That ungrateful child! With such a virtuous wife like Su Yun, he still dares to fool around outside. Once he recovers, I will definitely discipline him and make him remember how it felt back then!" Mei Yulou was also aware that Mei Baizhu was not in any life-threatening situation, so he was just venting his frustrations.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng could only smile apologetically and say, "Ah! Old man, everything has its cause and effect. Once Uncle Mei wakes up, we'll ask him carefully to find out. Uncle Mei is not fated to have the Peach Blossom Calamity; clearly, he has been schemed against this time. We’ll get to the bottom of it tomorrow morning!"
With that, everyone returned to their rooms. However, when Xiao Yefeng entered his room, he was surprised to find Mei Mo'er there. This puzzled him greatly. He didn’t close the door and walked directly to the table, looking at Mei Mo'er’s swollen red eyes from crying. "Mei Mo'er! What are you doing here?"
"Brother Xiao! I heard everything! You haven't resolved my father's poison yet, have you?" Mei Mo'er looked at Xiao Yefeng.
Xiao Yefeng was startled by her words; he thought she had overheard what happened later. However, her next words relieved him since it was better for her not to know about those matters between father and daughter.
Upon realizing what she meant, Xiao Yefeng sighed in relief and said, "Hehe! That's right; Uncle Mei hasn't completely detoxified yet, but that doesn't mean it's unresolved! I assure you that the residual poison in your father's body is definitely not fatal."
However, the tears were already flowing uncontrollably from her eyes. In his helplessness, Xiao Yefeng could only say, "Mei Mo'er, don’t worry; your father will wake up tomorrow morning!"
Hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, Mei Mo'er widened her eyes and looked at him before saying, "Really? Brother Xiao, you can't lie to me!"
Finally, after some persuasion, Mei Mo'er was convinced to leave. It was then that Xiao Yefeng realized how difficult it was to comfort a girl. At that moment, Zhang Chuanhai, who had been silent for a long time, connected with Xiao Yefeng's mind again and said to him, "Bro! This girl likes you!"
"Yeah! I've noticed that too!" Xiao Yefeng calmly continued to cultivate his Qi while engaging in conversation with Zhang Chuanhai without interrupting his silent recitation of Heart Decision.
"However, I noticed that another girl seems to have a bit of a crush on you!" Zhang Chuanhai said with a flirtatious look at Xiao Yefeng.
"Yiyi? That's impossible! I can tell that Yiyi's destined partner is not me, and the same goes for Mei Mo'er!" Xiao Yefeng shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"But I noticed that Bro, when you look at that girl, it's a bit different; your heart even beats faster for no reason!" As a ghost, Zhang Chuanhai floated around above Xiao Yefeng's head, constantly sharing his opinions.
"Everyone has an appreciation for beauty! Brother Zhang, if you were alive and saw a girl like Yiyi, wouldn't you be moved?" Xiao Yefeng countered.
"Yeah! Ling too!" This remark brought up Zhang Chuanhai's sorrowful memories. At this moment, both the living and the dead fell silent. Xiao Yefeng was absorbing Qi while Zhang Chuanhai was absorbing the Yin Qi of the night; each was focused on their own tasks.
As the hour of the rat arrived, Xiao Yefeng opened his eyes and looked at the floating Zhang Chuanhai. "Brother Zhang, it's time! Let's work together to deduce your girlfriend's location!"
"Okay!" Zhang Chuanhai nodded vigorously and then followed Xiao Yefeng out of the guest room.
The living and the dead left the Mei Family Old Residence one after another. Under the cover of night, Xiao Yefeng left the village. Near a distant wheat field, he found a high mound. With the Bagua Mirror in his left hand and the Seven Star Needle in his right, he sat cross-legged on the mound. He placed both items on the ground in front of him with his palms together. At this moment, Zhang Chuanhai also positioned himself in front of Xiao Yefeng. Because of the aura from Zhang Chuanhai, the Bagua Mirror—specifically designed to ward off evil spirits—did not harm him for now.
Xiao Yefeng then inserted the Seven Star Needle diagonally above the Bagua Mirror. The Seven Star Needle pointed towards the Big Dipper above while directing downwards towards the Bagua. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng silently recited the Soul-Chasing Spell and lightly touched Zhang Chuanhai's forehead with his right hand. Zhang Chuanhai gritted his teeth and pressed his palm against the Bagua Mirror. With a sizzling sound, it was like meat sizzling on a grill; Zhang Chuanhai's ghostly form trembled as he endured the pain without releasing his grip.
Indeed, Zhang Chuanhai was still hurt by the Bagua Mirror. However, there was no way around it. Although he bore Xiao Yefeng's aura, he was still a ghost. Encountering such an ancient mirror meant to ward off evil spirits would inevitably cause injury. Of course, being injured was unavoidable because without it, he could not leave his aura on the Bagua Mirror. Without leaving an aura, it would be impossible to track down information related to him or those connected to him.
