Gender-Swapping Curse

This time, Fang Fang did not stop after unleashing Sacred Fire. With its mouth open, it sprayed golden flames while concentrating hard.

All of a sudden, it sensed wisps of black energy entwined within the human before it.

Before it could continue sensing them, the black energy was completely erased by the golden flames.

"Fang Fang..."

Fang Fang stopped casting, looking somewhat confused.

That was it?

The disheveled man still had his eyes closed, his face filled with comfort and enjoyment.

"It's already over," Qiao Sang said.

On one hand, she was answering Fang Fang. On the other, she was reminding the quest issuer in front of her.

The man opened his eyes, blanked out for a moment, then eagerly asked for confirmation.

"Boss, has my curse been lifted?"

Qiao Sang gave a soft "Mm."

"That's great! That's great!" The man was overjoyed, tears of excitement welling up in his eyes.

Then he seemed to remember something and asked, "What skill did you use to treat me just now? It didn't look like Purification."

After asking, he grew worried again and cautiously said,

"Has the curse inside me really been lifted? Could you let me go to the Pet Tamer Center for a checkup first?"

As he spoke, he realized something and hurriedly explained nervously, "It's not that I don't trust you at all. It's just that this is my first time being cursed, and I have no experience. I don't know what I'm supposed to be like after the curse is lifted."

You got scammed out of all your savings. Do you even have money left for a checkup at the Pet Tamer Center? Qiao Sang inwardly complained before saying,

"The skill used to treat you was Sacred Fire. Like Purification, it can dispel curses. You can go to the Pet Tamer Center for an examination if you want, but I have other quests to do, so I won't be accompanying you."

"But..." The man panicked and was about to say something.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

The man glanced at it and hung up without hesitation.

However, his phone rang again the next second.

"You should answer it first," Qiao Sang said.

Only then did the man answer, saying impatiently, "Who is it?"

"Is this Mr. Zou?" the voice on the other end asked.

"This is he," the man said. "What is it?"

"I'm from the Police Station in Jiangzhi District, Zheng Province. The thief who broke into your home a few days ago has been caught. Please come over to identify them," the voice on the other end said.

The man was clearly stunned, then exclaimed in delight, "Okay, okay, okay! I'll head over right now!"

The call ended.

The man looked over at her.

His expression was so grateful that he looked as though he wanted to bow down and worship her.

"I don't think there's any need to go to the Pet Tamer Center anymore. The police just called to say that the thief who robbed my house has been caught. I believe my curse has definitely been lifted. Thank you so much, Boss!"

He really wanted to go up and shake her hand, but remembering that he had not showered in several days, he ultimately refrained.

"It's part of my quest. It's what I should do," Qiao Sang said.

Two minutes later, Qiao Sang and Fang Fang's group appeared out of thin air in front of a cluster of buildings.

They were several connected single-story houses.

Qiao Sang did not enter immediately. Instead, she asked, "When you lifted the curse just now, did you sense its presence?"

"Fang Fang."

Fang Fang nodded and cried out.

That human's insides were all dark, full of curses.

"Then did you sense how the curse disappeared? Did you specifically target it for removal? About how much energy did it consume?" Qiao Sang fired off three questions in a row.

"Fang Fang."

"Fang Fang..."

Fang Fang thought back before crying out.

The curse disappeared instantly under the flames. It did not know how much energy had been used, only that it was the amount needed for one Sacred Fire.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure waved a paw and cried out.

Big Brother Yaobao, that was the same as saying nothing.

"It's not the same," Qiao Sang said. "It means a curse of that level couldn't withstand Sacred Fire at all."

It seemed that Fang Fang should be able to break curses even stronger than the ones it had lifted before.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure wore an expression of sudden realization, then looked at Fang Fang with admiration and cried out.

"Fang Fang!"

Fang Fang wagged its tail, signaling that they should hurry up and lift the next curse.

Qiao Sang did not waste any more time. She walked to the middle house and knocked on the door.

"Qing Qing..."

At the same time, Qingbao, immersed in its own world, sighed and once again created two clones, which drifted toward the street.

Before long, the door opened a crack, and an eye peeked furtively through the gap.

"Who is it?" a coquettish voice asked.

"Someone who accepted the curse-lifting quest," Qiao Sang said. Then she asked, "Is Zheng Dazhuang here?"

The door opened, revealing a fair-skinned, curvaceous woman. She hurriedly said,

"You're finally here! Come in, come in!"

So this must be Zheng Dazhuang... Without saying anything, Qiao Sang walked in while carrying Shalala.

Once Fang Fang and the others had entered as well, Zheng Dazhuang hurriedly shut the door, afraid someone might see.

He quickly went into the kitchen to busy himself, then brought out several cups of drinks and placed them on the coffee table. In a soft, delicate voice, he began to pour out his troubles.

"Three months ago, I woke up one morning and suddenly turned into a woman. You have no idea, Boss. I was about to get married, but on the day I turned into a woman, my fiancée suddenly came over. She saw what I looked like as a woman and thought I was cheating on her. She insisted on breaking up with me. No matter how I explained it, she wouldn't believe me. Later, she finally believed me, but I still couldn't change back."

"And I haven't gone to work for three months, so I lost my job too. The neighbors around here all know that my fiancée and I were about to get married. Now when I go out to take out the trash, everyone thinks I'm the person I'm cheating on myself with."

"I really can't take those looks anymore, Boss. You have to help me lift this curse!"

After saying that, he pulled out a tissue and began crying in a soft, delicate manner.

Little Treasure listened from the side with great interest.

Qingbao was equally engrossed, not even noticing that its clones outside had dissipated.

The curse has lasted three months. It seems stronger than any of the curses lifted before... Qiao Sang considered this quite calmly before speaking.

"Stop crying first."

When she thought of the burly man named Zheng Dazhuang beneath that fragile appearance, she simply could not feel any tenderness toward him.

Zheng Dazhuang wiped away his remaining tears and forced himself to stop crying, though he still looked on the verge of tears.

"Fang Fang," Qiao Sang called.

"Fang Fang!"

Fang Fang cried out, then opened its mouth and sprayed dazzling golden flames toward the human in front of it.

"Ah!"

Zheng Dazhuang screamed and instinctively covered his face.

But very soon, she froze in place.

At the same time, Fang Fang sensed the condition inside the human before it.
