Hiss~

The darkness before his eyes dissipated, and the light mist also cleared away. In an instant, Xu Shu sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, feeling as if his brain was being pricked by needles, nearly causing him to fall backwards and lie on the ground.

He saw bumps forming one after another on his arm, as though down feathers were about to poke through the skin.

"Damn it, the influence of spiritual pollution doesn’t stop with the journey... To have experienced it personally is like having looked directly at that Evil God with my own eyes... Damn, why is this Dark Mother Goddess so powerful? A single glance and my Curse Seal is nearly failing to contain itself?"

Xu Shu’s pupils contracted sharply, without any hesitation, and he lay on the ground, beginning to do sit-ups frantically.

In the throes of severe pain, he broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, he got through the damage caused by the loss of mental control.

After the event, Xu Shu sat on the ground in fear, his back completely drenched with sweat.

Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming also heard the commotion and crawled out of their tents.

As a Doctor, Gu Yue Ming recognized at a glance that Xu Shu was experiencing a very unusual "curse power erosion," and hastily took out a small pouch, picking two plasters and affixing them to Xu Shu’s lower back.

At the same time, Gu Yue Ming transmitted a special energy into Xu Shu’s body through her palm. Once the connection was formed, Xu Shu felt his recovery speed significantly quicken.

As someone who had once been the ’Fertility Venerable’ and had obtained the fifth Curse Seal, just one step away from becoming an "Empress," Xu Shu, of course, had seen much and knew much. He recognized that Gu Yue Ming was using the signature technique of the healing arts pathway: Qi Healing.

This ability wasn’t used to heal directly, but to increase the subject’s recovery speed and enhance their constitution in a short time to facilitate self-healing.

In other words, the stronger one’s body, the more effective a Doctor’s treatment would be.

Gu Pan, being a ’Martial Artist,’ couldn’t help with this matter and could only stay vigilant, on the lookout for anyone attempting to take advantage of the situation.

With the help of Gu Yue Ming, the Second Rank ’Witch’, Xu Shu’s recovery speed increased even more, and soon he was fully restored, showing no signs of having just been on the brink of losing control.

Only then did Gu Yue Ming gracefully pack up her belongings, asking with an almost motherly air, "Why the rush? You’re still young; you have to eat your meals one bite at a time."

Xu Shu cracked a smile, "I know, it’s embarrassing, I capsized in the gutter, Aunt, thank you very much."

Clearly, Gu Yue Ming’s words were based on a misunderstanding, thinking that Xu Shu was impatient for advancement, leading to instability in his condition.

Seeing this, Xu Shu played along with her assumption.

There was no need to go into detail now; a quick explanation wouldn’t make things clear, and could only cause unease for both women. It was better for him to explore a way to extricate himself from this crisis alone.

The two women exchanged a glance and seeing the shock in each other’s eyes, chose not to say more.

However, Gu Pan did not return to her own bed and continued to keep an eye on Gu Yue Ming, following her and sitting in front of her.

Gu Yue Ming felt somewhat uncomfortable under the gaze, "Panpan, why are you staring at me like that?"

Gu Pan held back for a long time before saying, "Aunt, why does he call you ’little aunt’? Did you tell him something strange? I felt something odd last time; it seemed like you two had reached some sort of agreement..."

Gu Yue Ming’s expression stiffened immediately, "N-no, there’s nothing like that!"

"Really?" Gu Pan didn’t believe her, "Do you have any chat history with him? Show it to me."

Gu Yue Ming’s face turned pale.

She had once sent Xu Shu a photo of someone after a bath, which was returned, but there would still be some record of it.

If discovered, wouldn’t Panpan fight her to the death?

Gu Yue Ming said sternly, "Panpan, why do you smell? You must have rushed your training; go wash up in the bathroom, I still want to continue sleeping."

Gu Pan became even more suspicious, "Stop it, there’s definitely something fishy, show it to me!"

The two women immediately began to tussle in the tent.

Xu Shu had no time to pay attention to the dispute behind him.

He steadied his mind. After this encounter, he became even more cautious.

Although as a result of truly experiencing death within the journey, the aftereffects that would be delayed until returning to reality were almost a familiar "side effect."

But to be reduced to such a sorry state by a "side effect" was still a first!

"It seems I shouldn’t be too careless; although I am already Second Rank, the world is still a bit too dangerous, a little carelessness, and one could lose their life and path."

"Everything is still due to insufficient strength!"

"Just didn’t expect that Su Ji’s reliance turned out to be a real Evil God. Though it was just a statue, a mere glance nearly made me lose control immediately. How terribly strong is that? It feels like even the Taboo God Izanami isn’t that powerful..."

"Of course, I can’t rule out that Her statue and location were very special, coupled with Su’s self-destructive actions. It was a combination of many factors that led to my immediate downfall upon seeing Her!"

"Phew, it seems that going after Su directly won’t work. Although she only has First Rank strength within the border, she has a trump card... Dark Mother Goddess? This, this church, isn’t it the one that Xiao Chan briefly entered within the ruins... to think I also encountered it, isn’t that too coincidental?"

Despite the increasingly heavy mood, Xu Shu didn’t belittle himself because of one failure.

At least, he gained some information, knowing which paths were dead ends and impassable.

Now, the approach of directly dealing with Dead Man Su could be discarded. She was well-prepared, and force would be met with her strong backlash, no wonder that wretch had been hiding in the church all along, it turns out that was her last ace.
