Chapter 1413: Chapter 1372: Casting a Curse

“That sword… looks like it’s from the Island Country.”

Miao Conglu stayed silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke: “I have been to the Island Country before, and I’ve seen a similar sword. If I remember correctly, it should be Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna, the treasure of the Miyamoto Family.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan was clearly surprised and curiously said: “Oh, you know about it?”

“I only saw it by chance once and heard someone introduce it, but why is it in your possession?”

“The Miyamoto Family has fallen, of course, not by my hand. The family head of the Miyamoto Family entrusted this sword to me. Is there a problem?”

“No problem, I was just being nosy.”

Seeing Lu Chuan’s unfriendly gaze, Miao Conglu decisively shut her mouth.

“Hmm… aren’t you suspicious that it was actually me who destroyed the Miyamoto Family?”

“Should I be suspicious? This long sword likely has an Artifact Spirit, otherwise it wouldn’t be revered as a treasure. Since it’s passed down from the Miyamoto Family, if their destruction was indeed by you, the sword’s Artifact Spirit wouldn’t recognize you.”

“Hey, you’re quite smart. But why did you go to the Island Country?”

“To escape, is it so hard to understand? Martial Artists hate those with the Miao surname to the core, and there’s a sweep every year. Fleeing to the Island Country for refuge isn’t wrong, right?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan squinted his eyes and stared at Miao Conglu for a long time. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find any flaws in her expression, so he gave up.

“Don’t be so serious, I was just asking casually, with no malice. Where you’ve been has nothing to do with me, right?”

“I feel it’s necessary to explain, since you don’t trust me.”

“Should I trust you? You’re covered in a disguise that suggests eeriness; I mean, you’re not ugly, so why always cover your face? Afraid of being recognized?”

“Do you really want to see? I don’t mind, but it might cause you quite a bit of trouble.”

Miao Conglu suddenly stopped, lightly pulling on the black veil in front of her. It seemed that if Lu Chuan nodded, she would reveal her true face without hesitation.

“Hmm… better not, I’m not interested. Speaking of which, when will we reach the Old Lands of Qingqiu?”

“It’ll still be a long time. At our current pace, at least three days. If we don’t want someone else to get there first, we need to hurry up.”

“No problem, as long as you can keep up.”

With those words, Lu Chuan naturally didn’t refuse, immediately quickening his steps. The long sword in his hand almost swung into afterimages, cutting down everything in his path, and from time to time, he sneaked glances at Miao Conglu’s footsteps.

Unexpectedly stable, it seemed his acceleration didn’t burden her much.

This was very strange, as Lu Chuan couldn’t sense any Spiritual Power within Miao Conglu. From Yun Ji’s communication, he learned Miao Conglu had no demonic power either, so where did her strength come from?

“Can I ask, when were you born, and where are your parents?”

“Dead. My father was from the Fox Tribe, fell in love with a woman from the Human Clan, which was taboo. Once discovered, they were severely punished.

However, my father, relying on his strength, escaped the Fox Tribe, eloped with my mother, and found a relatively safe place where I was born. From childhood, they tried to conceal my identity, but were eventually discovered. They invited martial artists over.

Though my father fought to the death, he was killed by martial artists surrounding him. My mother couldn’t bear the humiliation and committed suicide. In the end, I was the only one who escaped.”

Yun Ji timely intervened: “I seem to recall that a clansman did escape from the Fox Tribe twenty-four years ago.”

“How ridiculous, the clan’s rules strictly forbid Demon Tribe and Human Clan from loving each other, yet you, as the Demon King of the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe, can ignore this rule and love a human. I know the world is inherently unfair, but this is just too excessive.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Ji sneered coldly, without feeling the slightest bit guilty.

“First, I didn’t set this rule, I have never required anyone to adhere to it. Your father’s departure had nothing to do with me, and I never drove him away.

Secondly, you’re right, it is unfair. I am the Demon King, my power is undisputed, and no one dares to criticize me. But that doesn’t give you a reason to attack me.

Your experiences are nothing compared to mine, understand?”

Seeing the atmosphere between the two women starting to go wrong again, Lu Chuan quickly stopped Yun Ji, helplessly saying: “Yun Ji, enough, suffering shouldn’t be compared.”

“Do you think I enjoy mentioning it? I just find this complaining tone irritating. If you can lead the way, do it properly, if not, I don’t mind killing you to replace you. Don’t overestimate yourself.”

Despite Yun Ji’s threat, Miao Conglu was not at all frightened, but instead laughed.

The sound was pleasant, as if emotions stifled for long had finally been released, laughing so hard she swayed back and forth before finally stopping.

“I… I like your personality! Totally, being a Fox Person isn’t my fault, why define me by my past?

Sigh, if only everyone could think like you.”

Yun Ji frowned, showing a look as if staring at an idiot, gazing coldly at Miao Conglu and said in a cold voice: “You better not try anything tricky, or I won’t struggle much to crush you.”

“Hmm… that’s not necessarily true.”

Miao Conglu extended her hand, and on her slender fingers lay a very tiny Gu Insect.

“The Fox Tribe’s Soul-capturing Technique, I actually know a bit about it too. It’s not easy to control my soul, and if you try to harm me, I’ll immediately crush this Child Gu. Want to guess how the parent Gu inside it will react?”

As she spoke, Miao Conglu lightly pinched the Child Gu, and in an instant, Lu Chuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, the excruciating pain causing him to almost lose his breath, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

“You… you actually put a Gu in me?”

“That’s right, hasn’t anyone warned you to be careful? Fox People can’t follow the Path of Immortality, nor can they condense demonic power within, but they’re exceptionally gifted in nurturing Gu Insects.

Honestly, this is such carelessness.”

Miao Conglu dismissed the instant kill, and a playful glint flashed from her unusual eyes.

“So, if you want to live, you’d better remind your woman not to do anything to me. After all, if I die, these Gu Insects will instantly recognize their identity, so you…

Hehe, your fate might not be much different from mine.”
