After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1132: Unveiling the Curse
In the end, Shao Shanshan followed Zhouzhou back up the mountain.
As soon as they arrived at the Daoist temple, Zhouzhou spread her arms and tilted her head, eagerly waiting for the Merits Light to descend. She was ready—let the Merits come even stronger! She could handle it!
However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
Zhouzhou blinked in confusion and met Shao Shanshan’s strange gaze, which seemed to be one of disbelief, as though she were looking at a fool.
Zhouzhou smiled at her, then turned back to face the main hall, her face falling in suspicion. She wondered if Ancestral Master had intercepted her Merits again.
Just as if he had heard her thoughts, Ancestral Master flew out with a swish, grabbed her ear, and gritted his teeth. "What kind of person do you think I am? Can you think something nice about me for once?"
Zhouzhou retorted, "Ancestral Master, you are exactly the kind of person stealing my merits! You’ve done this kind of thing before!"
Ancestral Master regretted it. He shouldn’t have tried to snatch Zhouzhou’s Merits that one time.
Once a thief, everything that went wrong was automatically blamed on him.
He sighed with exasperation, muttering, "I’ve changed! I’ve reformed!"
Don’t slander him!
Zhouzhou let out a small "Ouch!" and covered her ear. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, Ancestral Master, let go already!"
Shao Shanshan watched in bewilderment as the beautiful young girl appeared to be talking to thin air, her gaze turning even more peculiar, tinged with concern. Could she possibly be... hearing things?
Noticing her gaze, Zhouzhou coughed lightly and hurriedly lowered her voice. "Ancestral Master, there’s a guest. Could you please show me some face?"
Hearing this, Ancestral Master glanced at Shao Shanshan and reluctantly released his grip.
Zhouzhou rubbed her ear, muttering to herself, "Ancestral Master is so cruel, my ear almost got yanked off."
When she noticed Shao Shanshan’s gaze again, Zhouzhou quickly pulled out a talisman and handed it to her, assuring, "Sister Generous, I’m not crazy, I swear! I was talking to my Ancestral Master just now."
She hastily pressed the Heavenly Eye Talisman into Shao Shanshan’s hand.
Before Shao Shanshan could respond, a figure suddenly appeared before them.
Clad in a Daoist robe, he looked ethereal and otherworldly, his entire body glowing with golden light, though his face was strangely missing a section.
Shao Shanshan stared in surprise at the scene before her.
The fact that He Ping had cursed her already shocked her, but now Zhouzhou seemed to be showing her a ghost!
She wondered if she was hallucinating.
Ancestral Master was also looking at her.
He suddenly noticed something and asked with suspicion, "Did you get cursed?"
Before Shao Shanshan could reply, Zhouzhou immediately said, "Yes, yes, Sister Generous was cursed with a Love Bug. Ancestral Master, can you get rid of it?"
Ancestral Master shook his head. "I haven’t studied this. I’ve only seen it before. It’s usually something the Miao Border people do. How did you get cursed?"
Zhouzhou was indignant at this question.
She angrily recounted what He Ping had done, then added, "Ancestral Master, I’ve already caught the bad guy. Why haven’t I gotten my Merits yet?"
She was still waiting to fill the Mediterranean Sea, after all.
At the very least, even if the direction was wrong, they should still give her some Merits, right?
"Did the talisman I gave you light up?" Ancestral Master suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked.
Zhouzhou nodded, "Yes, yes."
Ancestral Master’s eyes lit up, and he circled Shao Shanshan, then slapped his chest confidently, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get rid of this curse for you!"
Based on their years of earning Merits, either the person who harmed her would be dealt with, or they would catch the mastermind. Either way, Merits would be theirs.
Zhouzhou was just as excited. Together, they hurriedly led Shao Shanshan to a room and told her to lie down.
Zhouzhou said, "Sister Generous, if you want to sleep, go ahead. Don’t worry about us."
Shao Shanshan blinked. "How could I sleep now?"
She pinched the center of her brows, the corner of her mouth twitching in helplessness, and asked, "I’m not tired. Can I sit?"
Lying down felt strange, like she was a lab rat.
Zhouzhou nodded. "Sure."
Shao Shanshan found a chair to sit in, her gaze roaming curiously around the room.
Books were scattered everywhere, and there was a Peachwood Sword and various other spiritual tools hanging on the walls.
Eventually, her gaze fell back on Zhouzhou. This young girl seemed to have some unusual abilities.
At that moment, Shao Shanshan recalled her identity.
She didn’t know Zhouzhou and Qin Er before, but when she saw Qin Lie earlier, she recognized them immediately.
In Jing City, no one didn’t know Qin Lie.
And this young girl called him "Dad."
Shao Shanshan’s mind quickly connected the dots—Zhouzhou was the girl adopted by the Qin family, who could already read fortunes when she was very young.
Thinking about it, she found it less surprising.
As for Qin Er, seeing him selling things in a stall, she immediately knew which one he was from the Qin family.
The stingy second child.
Infamous for his obsession with money.
A weirdo in the Qin family.
Despite being so wealthy, he acted as if he’d never seen money before. He carried a sack everywhere, set up shop wherever he went, even in schools, with business better than that of some supermarkets.
Everyone thought he would inherit the Qin family business, but he chose to start his own venture instead, without using any of the Qin family’s resources, whether money or connections.
Shao Shanshan tapped her fingers on the armrest, deep in thought.
Unaware of her expression, Zhouzhou and Ancestral Master were both busy looking through books to find a way to undo the curse.
By the next day, they had found some information, but unfortunately, their temple’s books were more focused on metaphysics, and there wasn’t much research on the Love Bug.
They still hadn’t found a solution.
As dawn broke, Zhouzhou stretched and glanced at Shao Shanshan.
It wasn’t likely that they’d be spending much time together.
However, the Love Bug inside Shao Shanshan seemed to be quite afraid of her.
Thinking for a moment, Zhouzhou rubbed her chin and said, "Ancestral Master, I have an idea."
"Tell me," Ancestral Master replied.
Zhouzhou said, "What if I scare it out?"
The difficulty in dealing with the Love Bug was that it was hard to find. It hid inside the body and kept moving. You couldn’t just cut someone open to search for it.
The good news, however, was that once the Love Bug was brought out, the person would be fine.
Ancestral Master thought about it and realized that Zhouzhou’s idea wasn’t impossible.
But...
"What if it starts running wild?" he asked.
It was still inside Shao Shanshan’s body. If it started causing trouble, Shao Shanshan would be in danger.
That was indeed a problem.

Ancestral Master continued, "Your method is still too risky. The girl won’t agree."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out, "I agree."
