“Blood Curse?”
Everyone was taken aback. Feng Chengxuan was no ordinary person; he was the legitimate Crown Prince of Dream Nation, with a noble status. How could anyone dare to place such a vicious Blood Curse on him? However, judging by his appearance, it seemed there might be some truth to it, as it was rumored that those afflicted by a Blood Curse could meet their demise if they were spied upon without their knowledge.
Wasn't Feng Chengxuan lying there in just such a state? He was convulsing inexplicably and had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
With the help of Yun Tianmo, Ouyang Zixin sat up straight, thinking to herself that the Eye Technique indeed consumed Mysterious Energy. Just as she pondered how to replenish some Mysterious Energy, Yun Tianmo produced a Water Bag. Ouyang Zixin smiled gratefully at him, opened the Water Bag, and was surprised to find it contained Azure Leaf Tea.
Yun Tianmo really should have been more careful; with so many eyes watching, didn't he fear exposing Nameless?
However, it seemed no one noticed. After hearing about Feng Chengxuan being afflicted by the Blood Curse, everyone appeared lost in thought, and no one paid attention to the Water Bag that Yun Tianmo had brought out.
After moistening her throat slightly, Ouyang Zixin took several big gulps and wiped her mouth before continuing, “The Mirror Guardian reflects the subconscious suggestion placed on him. It’s likely that the person who cast the curse never anticipated that Feng Chengxuan would end up in such a situation, and this Blood Curse has been discovered early.”
“What will happen with the Blood Curse?” Zhao Feiyu admitted that she had once been ruthless herself, but compared to the person who placed a Blood Curse on Feng Chengxuan, she felt she was far too kind.
Ouyang Zixin shook her head. She didn’t know what would happen now that the Blood Curse had been discovered early, but she could guess what might occur if things went according to the plan of the one who cast the curse.
“There have indeed been secret rumors within the Dreamland Royal Family. The target of the Blood Curse is royal family members,” Baike hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to share what she knew. Given how things looked, it seemed that what Ouyang Zixin had done for Feng Chengxuan might actually benefit him. Being trapped in the same situation within the Small Stone Box, she also wanted to know what would happen to her.
To uncover these details, she needed help from Ouyang Zixin. Gaining that assistance wouldn’t be easy, so it was best to share some information she had. It would only be beneficial.
Ouyang Zixin clearly did not want to engage with Baike, as the next little guinea pig could very well be her if she revealed this so-called secret. It was likely that no one present would be unaware of the implications. Yun Tianmo naturally shared Ouyang Zixin's attitude, while Yun Tianying, upon hearing this, showed interest and raised an eyebrow, asking, "I would like to hear more details."
Seeing that someone was finally willing to pay attention to her, Baike let out a light sigh of relief. However, the fact that it was Yun Tianying who showed interest made her smile wryly. This man truly was...
According to Baike's account, the Dreamland Royal Family had a strange affliction that affected one member in each generation, leading to a tragic death. The afflicted individual would go mad before dying, often killing their loved ones around them. If not stopped in time, they could potentially kill all their family members.
There had once been a Crown Prince who unfortunately fell victim to this legendary illness before becoming the next Sovereign. The reason he was chosen as Crown Prince was primarily due to his immense strength; at that time, he was nearly unmatched in Dream Nation. When he fell ill, none of his relatives were able to stand against him and all perished at his hands. The Dreamland Royal Family experienced severe turmoil during this period; it was said that even the military was deployed but could do nothing to stop him. The entire nation feared for its survival.
Just as he was about to kill his last son, something inexplicable happened—perhaps his actions angered the heavens, resulting in divine retribution that struck him dead within the palace. This tragic event finally came to an end, allowing his only son to survive and inherit the throne.
This is how Dream Nation managed to endure until now.
"Is this why Dream Nation is weaker than the other two countries?" Zhao Feiyu recalled her father mentioning various matters regarding Dream Nation, primarily because he was currently in charge of the Royal Trading Company, which profited from exploiting Dream Nation.
She hadn't expected Dream Nation had such a bloody history; she had never heard of it before.
"I have also heard some rumors about this matter, but the authenticity of it..." Yun Tianying covered his face with his palm and lightly tapped his nose with his index finger. When he first heard about it, he didn't believe it because there had been no further reports of any members of the Dreamland Royal Family dying from this strange illness since then.
Baike remained calm; she was merely stating what she knew. Whether they believed it or not was irrelevant to her.
"It is understandable for you to be skeptical because Dream Nation has since done everything in its power to control this information. Any member of the royal family who dies for any reason will be kept under strict confidentiality. Even if you have contacts within Dream Nation, you would likely receive no information at all. They will only report normal deaths." As the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, after her family went into seclusion, she made sure to understand as much as possible about her home country. Especially regarding information that could be considered leverage; her father certainly wouldn't hide such matters from her.
"If that's the case, then it makes sense." Yun Tianying pondered for a moment, considering the truthfulness of Baike's words. When he attempted to control Feng Chengxuan earlier, he felt an uncontrollable violent force within him; had he delayed any longer, he might have exploded on the spot.
"Now that this Blood Curse has been discovered, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse." Ouyang Zixin furrowed his brows. He originally intended to extract some insider information about Beautiful Scenery Without Form or Millennium Ruins from them, but unexpectedly, while there was indeed some insider information, it had nothing to do with Millennium Ruins. Instead, it helped Feng Chengxuan uncover this damned Blood Curse.
Is this forcing me to be a saint?
After regaining some composure, Ouyang Zixin gestured for Yun Tianmo to stand up. She needed to stretch her muscles and think carefully about how to use these two little guinea pigs moving forward.
"Are you a Gossip excavator?" With a snap, Ouyang Zixin closed the Small Stone Box and said irritably, "You can't find any useful information but instead give me a pile of useless stuff. What good are you?!"
Seeing Ouyang Zixin about to throw the Small Stone Box again, Yun Tianmo hurriedly reached out to catch it. This time, it couldn't be tossed around carelessly because he suddenly thought of the benefits of the Small Stone Box.
"What’s this? I haven't seen you value it so much before."
"The Dream Nation behind Feng Chengxuan, the Bai Clan behind Baike..." In Yun Tianmo's eyes, no Gossip exists in isolation. If they are all connected, then perhaps the grand scheme he laid out outside could reveal its conclusion ahead of time.
"You mean..." Ouyang Zixin's eyes suddenly lit up. This Yun Tianmo's mind is indeed exceptionally sharp.
Hmph, Bai Clan, I want to see what tricks you're pulling behind the scenes. (To be continued.)
