Chapter 555: Chapter 263: Purifying the Curse, Winning Great Favors!_2

Lin Baici picked up the oil lamp and blew on its wick a couple of times.

Hoo!

A tuft of green flame ignited and immediately, the green light spilled out like mercury, reaching about ten meters around Lin Baici before stopping.

A warm feeling enveloped his entire body, as if basking in the sunlight on a winter balcony.

Lin Baici had planned to move the ghostly oil lamp closer to Jin Mo, but there was no need; as the green light fell on him, Lin Baici saw a baby with a large head lying on Jin Mo’s belly, connected by a thick, wrinkled red umbilical cord. One end was attached to the baby’s belly, the other to Jin Mo’s navel.

"Damn!"

Lin Baici was startled. The baby’s body was covered in green scales, and its limbs were short and stubby, clinging tightly to Jin Mo. The sight resembled a tumorous growth sprouting externally from Jin Mo.

The large-headed baby’s lips were black and purple, and it occasionally stuck out its half-foot-long tongue, licking Jin Mo’s belly. Every time this happened, Jin Mo would shiver and feel ice-cold.

"What’s going on?"

Kim Myungjin asked with a puzzled face since she couldn’t see the filthy entity without holding the ghostly oil lamp.

"I think we’ve found the culprit!"

Lin Baici stared at the large-headed baby, brandishing his bronze sword. However, he didn’t attack rashly, worried about the entity’s method of assault and the risk of accidentally killing Jin Mo, which would complicate matters.

Should I continue reciting the scriptures?

Lin Baici hesitated over whether he should have Muscle Buddha cleanse this thing when Eater God spoke.

[Muscle Buddha can cleanse with a punch, but after the ’curse’ is removed, the death of this entity will cause significant pollution to the cursed person!]

[A young man would recover from such a serious illness in maybe ten days or half a month, but an elderly or frail person could very likely die on the spot!]

Lin Baici frowned, thinking this meant there was no hope.

[Cat God Balance, when encountering a favored spirit, will devour them.]

Cat God?

Do you mean that one summoned by the Cat God Balance?

Truthfully, if possible, Lin Baici wanted to activate the Taboo things, as many of their ’problems’ lacked logic and depended purely on luck.

Without Eater God’s help, Lin Baici’s chance of overcoming the rule pollution created by the Cat God Balance was slim.

But after all, this was Kim Myungjin’s grandfather. He couldn’t just stand by and let him die.

Lin Baici took out the Cat God Balance and activated it.

Meow!

Accompanied by a cat’s meow, a slender black cat appeared on the floor.

"No chance, right?"

Lin Baici thought the cat looked cute and sexy, probably the number one beauty among cats. Even if its taste was poor, it surely wouldn’t like to eat a large-headed baby, would it?

Meow!

The Black Cat cried out, glanced at the dirty thing on the bed — the one lying on Jin Mo’s belly — then walked forward a few steps gracefully and leaped onto the bed.

The large-headed baby seemed to sense danger and attempted to crawl away, but its limbs were too short, and it could only wriggle in place like a caterpillar.

The Black Cat’s small paw rose and fell, pinning the umbilical cord before biting and tearing it.

Rip!

The umbilical cord snapped!

"Ah!"

Jin Mo cried out.

"Save me! Save me!"

Jin Mo yelled loudly.

The maid knelt on the floor, astonished at what had occurred. Why had the master suddenly awakened?

"Oppa, is my grandfather okay now?"

Kim Myungjin was overjoyed.

"He should be!"

Lin Baici saw the Black Cat dragging the large-headed baby off the bed, apparently looking for a safe place to eat. He immediately put out the ghostly oil lamp.

No, I can’t watch this. Otherwise, the image of it eating would become a lifelong psychological scar.

"Save me!"

Jin Mo’s voice was hoarse with desperation.

"The treatment is over, please rest and recover in peace!"

Lin Baici smiled slightly, "You should be able to live another decade or more!"

With Jin Mo’s status and influence, he could receive the best medical care in Goryeo. Unless he squandered his health, he truly could live a long time.

Jin Mo waited a few seconds, then, realizing Lin Baici wasn’t joking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you!"

Gratitude filled Jin Mo’s eyes. He thanked Lin Baici and then looked at Kim Myungjin, reaching out to stroke her hair.

This granddaughter saved her own life this time.

It was obvious that this young man, although speaking Goryeo, but clearly one of the People from Jiuzhou, had been brought here by Kim Myungjin.

"Grandpa, please rest assured and recover!"

Kim Myungjin was genuinely happy, "But it’s better to find someone trustworthy to take care of you."

The Goryeo girl didn’t say much, but with Jin Mo’s shrewdness and experience, he understood instantly, especially since this illness had been anything but ordinary.

"Once I... have recovered, I will definitely pay a visit to express my gratitude!"

Jin Mo forced himself to finish this sentence, not only because Bai Ci had saved him, but also because there might come a time when he needed her help.

This kind of person could not be neglected!

After Kim Myungjin said a few more words, she got up and left, after all, Jin Mo had just woken up and still needed to rest.

When the two of them went downstairs to the hall, they happened to see a woman in her thirties, carrying a child into the building.

"Ying Zhen!"

The woman took the initiative to greet her; she was wearing a white dress, very plain, with no makeup on her face, appearing soft and delicate.

"Little Grandma!"

Kim Myungjin called out.

Upon hearing this address, Bai Ci couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the woman. Mr. Jin was impressive, not only did he marry a younger woman, but he also managed to have a child with her?

Considering the child the woman was holding was only four or five years old, didn’t that mean Mr. Jin was able to father a child in his sixties?

[The child is Jin Mo’s.]

Eater God’s comment: [However, the way the child was conceived might be different from what you think!]

"Could it be a test tube baby?"

Bai Ci quickly stopped his wild guesses, as it was a private family matter, in which he had no interest in gossiping.

Kim Myungjin’s relationship with the woman in the white dress was also lukewarm. After politely chatting for a while, they left.

After the two got back into the car and drove away from the estate, Kim Myungjin took the initiative to speak, "That woman is pretty good to my grandfather; she’s like his emotional support."

In Kim Myungjin’s view, it was somewhat disgraceful for an old man to marry such a young woman.

"Are you sure it’s true love?"

Bai Ci thoughtfully said, "Your grandpa has been cursed this time."

"Someone tried to assassinate him?"

Kim Myungjin was alarmed, followed by contemplation, "That woman is powerless and influenceless; she couldn’t possibly harm my grandpa, because if my grandpa dies, she would only get a tiny portion of the inheritance!"

Put simply, the woman stood to gain the most as long as Jin Mo was alive.

Bai Ci shrugged his shoulders, not giving his opinion. Jin Mo didn’t look like a fool, and now that he was awake, he was bound to have a plan for retaliation.

Since they hadn’t asked for his help, he naturally wouldn’t make a fuss and would rather go into the Busan Divine Ruins first to make a big score.

Talking about having lunch with Jin Xian tomorrow, who knew what kind of challenges he would encounter?

...

Bai Ci had yet to wait for Jin Xian, but instead first got a call from Kim Yun Shan.

Kim Myungjin’s older sister was inviting her younger sister and Bai Ci to have dinner together.

"Shall we go?"

Kim Myungjin, with one hand on the steering wheel, looked at Bai Ci, "Her target is clearly you!"

"To pull me over to her side?"

Bai Ci smiled, am I now a hot commodity?

"Do you want to put in some effort to win over Kim Yun Shan? The inheritance she receives will definitely be more than mine; she’s a true ’Rich Sister’."

Kim Myungjin joked.

"Not interested!"

Honestly, Kim Yun Shan was not bad-looking and her figure was also well-maintained, but in terms of affection, she didn’t appeal to Bai Ci as much as Kim Myungjin’s mother did.

My bad, my bad!

What am I even thinking?

Through the rear-view mirror, Kim Myungjin checked the traffic behind them, finding the rural road desolate today, so she pulled the car over.

"Is the car broken?"

After Bai Ci spoke, he saw the Goryeo girl looking at him, her dark, large eyes brimming with allure, "No one is here!"

After Kim Myungjin finished, she unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over, and kissed Bai Ci on the lips.

Having already been through the experience in the small woods last time, Bai Ci did not resist.

...

In the evening, Kim Myungjin and Bai Ci went to their appointment, mainly because the Goryeo girl wanted to probe Kim Yun Shan to see if she was the one who had harmed her grandpa.

If she was, then they would have to warn her mother to be careful, since the one who could kill her grandpa could also kill her.
