And from that day on, my hands and feet have been weak and limp.
I could never become a hunter again!
And every night, I have a terrifying nightmare.
"
Uncle Zheng narrated the whole story.
After a long while, he finally let out a breath.
"Dirui Ji's curse!"
"That's its ability!"
"It didn't kill me on the spot back then, but it placed a curse on me!"
"Using this method, it made me suffer for a lifetime!"
"How ironic—it saved me, only to leave me living under a shadow forever."
Uncle Zheng sighed.
But there was no resentment in his tone.
"A curse?"
After hearing Uncle Zheng's story, Chen Xuan understood everything.
There were all kinds of strange Phantom Beasts in this world.
Some Phantom Beasts had abilities that could plunge people into bizarre effects.
Those were their innate skills.
For example, the Dirui Ji Uncle Zheng just mentioned possessed such a terrifying ability.
"Then didn't Uncle Zheng seek treatment?"
"If it's a curse caused by a Phantom Beast, there should be specialized healing-type Beast Masters who can cure it, right?"
Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Treatment? Of course I looked. I went all over the city to find Beast Masters, but they were all helpless."
"Even those healing Phantom Beasts that had reached Gold Rank couldn't dispel this curse!"
"Dirui Ji's grade was too high—it's not something ordinary Phantom Beasts can cure!"
"Later, I came to terms with it. This is my retribution!"
"The bad fruit I planted, I have to swallow myself."
Chapter 32: Plague Rat, The Heavenly Dao Faction's Conspiracy
"Even many high-level Beast Masters were helpless?"
"Maybe we can try Little White!"
Looking at Uncle Zheng, Chen Xuan smiled and suggested.
If other Beast Masters couldn't do it, then it was likely because Dirui Ji's bloodline grade was too high.
Its curse couldn't be lifted even by other ordinary Overlord-grade or King-Grade Phantom Beasts.
But Little White, the Holy Light Dragon, was a natural healing and dispelling-type Phantom Beast!
And now it had already reached Platinum Rank, seventh tier.
Dispelling a curse from Dirui Ji was more than enough.
With that, Chen Xuan summoned the Holy Light Dragon, Little White.
"Little White?"
"It's no use!"
"Even the Phantom Beasts of those Gold Rank Beast Masters in the city were helpless!"
"Sure, Little White has healing abilities, but Little White and you are still far behind those high-level Beast Master masters in the city!"
Lately, for minor injuries and ailments in the village, the villagers would come to Chen Xuan to have Little White treat them.
So!
In the village, the villagers had come to see Little White as a little healer.
But!
They only thought Little White had some basic healing skills for a healing Phantom Beast.
They didn't think Little White was some holy dragon.
So that was why Uncle Zheng held no illusions about Little White.
"It's useless, this is meaningless..."
Uncle Zheng shook his head as he spoke.
But suddenly!
He stopped mid-sentence.
A scorching light shone down upon him.
Then!
A black afterimage was slowly driven out of his body.
It was Dirui Ji's shadow!
Howl howl!
That shadow let out an unwilling roar.
Beneath the white light.
It slowly dissipated.
"I... I'm actually fine!"
"Hahaha, Dirui Ji's curse has been dispelled!"
"I'm really fine!"
Uncle Zheng's face was full of surprise.
He revealed an incredulous smile.
His body trembled slightly with excitement.
Tears even welled up in his eyes.
He looked at his chest—the tattoo had long since vanished!
This curse that had plagued him for decades.
Had finally disappeared today.
He showed an expression of unprecedented elation.
Then, he rushed out.
"Hahaha, old woman, my curse is gone!"
He wanted to tell his wife the news as soon as possible.
He even forgot to thank Chen Xuan.
And hadn't yet realized that Little White could dispel his curse.
Dispel the legendary divine curse.
The curse of Dirui Ji!
Seeing the delighted Uncle Zheng.
Chen Xuan just smiled as he watched him leave.
"Hahaha, Plague Rat, let these villages become a living hell!"
"Soon, the humans here will vanish, and this place will once again become a paradise for Phantom Beasts!"
"No, it will become your paradise!"
On a distant hilltop outside Lotus Well Village.
Zhang Beiting stood with his Phantom Beast, gazing at the village not far away.
