Chapter 2670: Chapter 2671: The Secret of the Curse

Jiang Yichun has the Merfolk Bloodline, so he’s only obstructed, and since Bai Ruozhu has had a child with him, it seems there’s some influence as well, but Sibao has nothing to do with the Merfolk at all.

Jiang Yichun thought for a moment and suddenly bit his finger, pressing the bloodied finger onto the barrier.

The obstruction surprisingly appeared, turning into a light blue translucent dome, then spreading from the point of Jiang Yichun’s extended hand, creating an opening just big enough for a person to pass through.

"It worked!" Bai Ruozhu exclaimed in surprise.

Sibao looked at Jiang Yichun and suddenly bit his own finger, reaching his bloodied finger over as well.

"Be careful!" Bai Ruozhu had no idea he’d be so impulsive, and it was too late to stop him.

This time, Sibao was directly electrified and was bounced out by the barrier.

Bai Ruozhu hurried over to pick him up; after all, he’s just a child—even if he’s a Demon, he has the heart nature of a child.

"Waaa, this isn’t fair, you must be someone from in there!" Sibao cried out in grievance, rubbing his eyes with his little chubby hands.

Jiang Yichun had already entered the barrier, confirming there was no danger, he said, "It’s fine, you all hurry and come in."

Bai Ruozhu carried Sibao across the barrier, and as Jiang Yichun withdrew his hand, the barrier’s opening shrank and eventually disappeared.

"Put on the ointment; even Demons can get hurt, don’t be so reckless next time." Bai Ruozhu took out the ointment to apply on Sibao.

Sibao suddenly ducked away, "I’m going to be a boy in the future, you’re a woman and it’s inconvenient."

Jiang Yichun said coldly, "Then do it yourself."

"Hmph, I wasn’t planning to ask for your help anyway." Sibao snatched the ointment with his little chubby hand and applied it himself.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head with a smile, this little Demon was quite amusing.

After passing the barrier, the two humans and one demon stood outside the Main Hall gate.

Jiang Yichun took Bai Ruozhu’s hand, and Bai Ruozhu in turn took Sibao’s hand, and they walked together toward the Main Gate of the hall.

"Wait, what if there are mechanical traps or something? You guys go check, I’ll just wait outside." Sibao shrank his neck, he was a little scared, "If you manage to find the Venus Gemstone, just give me a tiny bit, I’ll find a way to repay you."

Jiang Yichun didn’t look at him, coldly saying, "The Venus Gemstone is very rare, did the Demon who told you about it explain how to absorb it?"

Sibao scratched his head, "No."

Bai Ruozhu shook her head helplessly, this child was too young and easily deceived.

"Are you planning to take the Venus Gemstone back to that Demon?" she asked.

"Yeah, otherwise, you guys don’t understand Demons’ methods either." Sibao still didn’t seem to catch on.

"The power of the Venus Gemstone is extremely strong, it’s not suitable for a little Demon like you to absorb, it’s more for great demons to increase their power. Don’t you realize you’re being used?" Jiang Yichun said irritably.

Sibao looked disappointed, "But I’m so weak, how could he possibly use me?"

"You may be weak, but you’re different from other Demons. He tricked you, maybe not expecting you to truly find it, but if you happened to be lucky enough to, who knows? Don’t believe it? On your return, pretend you’ve absorbed the Venus Gemstone and see how he reacts," Bai Ruozhu said helplessly.

"Waaa..." Sibao began to cry, "Am I really that stupid, that easy to trick?"

Bai Ruozhu felt a bit sorry for him, patting his head, "You’re not stupid, it’s just that you’re too young and don’t understand the world’s dangers yet."

Sibao wiped his tears, "Forget it, I’ll just wait here for you. I don’t want the Venus Gemstone anymore; living another three years is better than having something go wrong now."

Bai Ruozhu patted his head again, "Once we get out, we’ll find a powerful Yin Yang Master to take a look at you. Maybe it’s not like that great demon said, and you’re not destined to only live three years."

Sibao’s eyes lit up, "Thank you so much!"

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun entered the Main Hall hand in hand; Sibao’s power was indeed too low, only able to bring people into dreams, following them inside would be too dangerous.

As soon as they entered the Main Hall, both felt an intense oppressiveness, with the sound of dragons roaring in their ears.

The heavy pressure made their heads feel like they were going to split, their knees slowly buckling until they couldn’t hold it any longer and fell to their knees.

Bai Ruozhu’s face turned pale, and she eventually fainted.

Jiang Yichun also closed his eyes at the same time, but in the next moment, he found himself in a different place.

"Sibao, did you bring me into a dream?" Jiang Yichun asked uncertainly.

But then, another dragon roar sounded, buzzing in his head with pain. It wasn’t Sibao; Sibao didn’t have this kind of power. If he did, he wouldn’t need to hide his strength to deceive them.

"Finally, a Merfolk has returned; have you thought about how to repay the debts you owe me?" A hoarse voice sounded, accompanied by the countless roars of dragons.

Jiang Yichun frowned, "I’m not a Merfolk; I only have some Merfolk bloodline. I’m just here to find out the truth; I don’t know your grievances with the Merfolk."

"Hmph, you’re not a Merfolk? Then what’s this?" The voice sneered coldly, and in an instant, Jiang Yichun’s legs turned into a fish tail.

"Who are you? I said I’m not from Merfolk Island, and this fish tail was an accidental gain." Jiang Yichun’s heart was alarmed; compared to him, the other was indeed too powerful.

"Me? I’m the most powerful dragon in the Donghai, killing you is as easy as crushing ants. But you Merfolk are insidious and cunning, deceived my trust back then and used me; I won’t spare any Merfolk!" The dragon roared, the sound of its roar making Jiang Yichun’s head throb in pain, his face growing even paler.

"What did they do to you?" Jiang Yichun asked.

"Do you genuinely not know, or are you pretending?" The dragon barked angrily, "Merfolk, with human bodies but fish tails, were never able to transform into human forms to come ashore. They were dissatisfied and came to me for help because I am the most powerful dragon in the Donghai and can transform into a human to live on land."

He seemed so furious that the ground began to shake.

"They gained my trust, and I promised to help them, but they were greedy, stealing my Dragon Ball and trapping me here."

"If you could help them transform into humans, why would they steal your Dragon Ball? Does it make them exceptionally powerful?" Jiang Yichun asked.

The dragon roared in anger, "Because with the protection of my Dragon Ball, they can transform into human forms for generations without ever having fish tails again. Their greed knows no bounds, so I curse them, to be born human but not live beyond thirty!"

Jiang Yichun was stunned, "The Curse in the Merfolk Bloodline is your doing? I thought it was the upper realm’s law restrictions?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The dragon laughed loudly, "Looks like you’re aware of the Vein Curse. You, with a Merfolk Bloodline, can’t live beyond thirty either; it’s not a good feeling, is it?"

"What must be done to lift the curse on me?" Jiang Yichun urgently asked.
