129 Curses

'Yeah, Curses. They are called Forbidden Soul Arts. Instead of directly attacking someone's Soul, Curses are equivalent to poison for the body. Once cast, it will eat on your Soul till there is nothing left,' Ling explained. 'The one that Golden Queen has seems weak. Her Soul is too powerful to suffer any damage, but the Curse still affects her mind, causing her to get outbursts like this. We can heal her in exchange for a favor if you want.' 

'Wow, I didn't think my Ling knows about Curses,' Ming muttered in amazement. 

'I learned some stuff as well, okay? I have lived a few lifetimes already,' Ling replied humbly but it was clear she seemed proud of herself. 

'My Ling is best!' Xuefeng called out happily, deciding immediately. 'Let's help her. Tell me what to do,' 

How could he not want a Dragon for an ally? She already wanted to help him without the favor but now he could make another request.

'Just go inside the Lightning and grab her, I will do the rest. My regeneration is strong enough to heal weak Curses like hers. We can stop her outburst now as proof and then claim the favor later once we heal her completely,' Ling described the game plan. 'It always takes some time to heal something as complex as a Soul.' 

'Alright! Let's do it!' Xuefeng agreed without hesitation and let go of his wives. 

"Xuefeng?" Tianshi grabbed his arm back right after. "Why are you going there?" 

For a second he forgot Tianshi could see his future. She would obviously be worried about seeing the future of him jumping into the Lightning. 

"I don't have time to explain, but I will go to help her. Don't worry, I will be fine," Xuefeng assured as he gave her a quick kiss and pulled her hand away, rushing out. 

They had to trust him this time. 

"Take care!" Nuwa called out after him but he only waved back, being already halfway there. 

'Can I even handle her Lightning?' Xuefeng wondered as his body coated with his own Lightning Qi, hoping it will provide him some protection but Ling crushed his thoughts. 

'I doubt you can. It will hurt like hell, but you should be fine. I will heal you on the go.' 

He didn't have time to think more about it as Golden Queen's Golden Lightning was right in front of him. As long as he didn't die, he was fine with anything. 

Swoosh!

Similar to Sect Master Liu's case, Golden Lightning burst out from the barrier in his direction but instead of teleporting away, Xuefeng teleported behind it, piercing straight into the gates of hell. 

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! 

Tens of bolts instantly struck him from all directions. This time he didn't have anywhere to run to. He had to endure!

"Aaaaargh!! Fuck!" Xuefeng cursed loudly. 

A flashback of memories past his mind, the time he challenged the Heavens, enduring and absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation. Who would have thought Golden Queen's Lightning would be even more powerful? Not only that, he couldn't even absorb it, forced to take all the attacks on himself. 

'Don't stand still! Go to her! I can't do this forever!' Ling scolded. 

'Ugh! Easy to say!' Xuefeng shouted back, venting his pain away, and moved forward, one step at a time.

Even though it was unbearable, he was still somewhat used to it after his countless life experiences. The pain was his everyday bread. He let the currents run through his body as he redirected them into the ground. If he kept them inside him, they would definitely wreck his body apart, too violent to handle. 

"Miss Golden!" Xuefeng cried out, finally seeing a female figure in the middle of all the chaos. 

She turned around to him but simply stayed still, staring at him. 

'Her mind is too corrupted right now to comprehend anything right now. Just walk up to her,' Ling directed. 

The closer Xuefeng approached, the clearer her figure was and the less Lightning surrounded the area. It seemed he experienced the worst at the beginning, making him sigh in relief. 

"It is really the darkest under the lamp. So much better…"

He walked closer to her more confidently before he noticed something weird. He could see the curves of her body more clearly, but her clothes were nowhere to be seen. 

'Wait, is she naked?!' Xuefeng exclaimed, finally confirming it. Her naked waist and perky chest were at the arm's reach away from him. Only her eyes were still filled with Golden Lightning. 

He tried to look away but the temptation to look at the fine beauty like her was too strong to resist. He now understood why his Master was so in love with her. 

'Can we still back off…?' Xuefeng wondered, having second thoughts. 'She will be okay even if we don't help her now…'

Imagining touching a naked wife of his Master who stood right outside made him anxious. It would be fine if he had clothes but he was also naked, making it even more awkward. 

'Come on! We didn't waste so much Fate Qi for nothing. Go hug her before it's too late,' Ling ordered, not bothered at all. 'She will understand you just tried to help.' 

'Oof! She might, but we might not live till tomorrow once Master finds out…' Xuefeng pointed out. 

'Don't worry, unless she tells him herself, there is no way he finds out. She can still control the Lightning to close the space around us. They can't see us,' Ling assured. 'You are only hugging her anyway. It's not like I ask you to connect with her. Don't worry.' 

'Alright…' Xuefeng agreed in the end, having no other choice but to proceed. 

He took a deep breath before stepping forward, embracing Golden Queen as gently as he could. Her back was so soft to touch, reminding him of Nuwa. Both of their bodies were equally voluptuous, giving that sexy mature look. 

'I will be done faster if you hug her properly… Don't just hold her with your fingers,' Ling said, giving him chills. He tried to avoid touching her sensitive areas as much as he could. 

'Damn…' 

Cursing in his mind, he tightened his embrace, pressing her peaks into his chest. His mouth couldn't help but open when her nipples pierced into his skin, all hard and alluring. He quickly resisted his urge to feel up her bottom as a habit, gripping onto her side and the smooth back instead. It wasn't the time to test his limits. 

'I'm so dead…' he thought. 

'This is perfect. Just stand still. Don't let her go or I lose connection and might hurt her by accident,' Ling reminded. 

Watching Golden Queen's face, Xuefeng called out for additional assurance. 

"Miss Golden, I will help you! Hold on!" 

She frowned at his shout but didn't move away, letting him hug her tightly. The first part of the plan went smoothly but soon a new problem appeared. 

'Calm down… Calm down, don't get up…'
