Chapter 167 The Curse Rebounded

That thing leapt at Song Yan who didn't even blink and simply slashed her scythe in the direction of the condemned soul, who sensing danger changed the trajectory of its motion and swept towards the opposite wall before lunging at Song Yan from behind noticing that her back was turned on it but before it could so much as touch Song Yan, she twirled her scythe and backhandedly slashed the condemned soul into a puddle of charcoal black blood and frothy mess.

The moment she slashed the soul, the red candles flickered and crackled with a loud hiss as they sucked in the dark puddle on the floor of Au Mei's room, as soon as the black puddle was sucked in by the wickers of the candles, morphing the fumes from gloomy black to pearly white, the red diamond turned black and Au Mei stopped struggling as well. Song Yan noticed the change in red diamond and walked towards Au Lisha before taking the now cursed diamond from her with a grim expression.

The red diamond that was so beautiful and lustrous was now reduced to ashen black rock.

She put away the black diamond that has sucked all the curse from Au Mei's body and then took out a safety talisman before handing it to Au Lisha, " It will take a while for your daughter to recover, the curse has caused a lot of damage to her body and it will take a long time before she will be able to return to her original healthy state, during this time you have to take proper care of her and not let anything dangerous or tainted to come in contact with her. Put this safety talisman on her body and don't take it off until I tell you to, when I am reassured that she has recovered only then I will tell you to take it away." After she finished speaking she walked around the bed and started taking off the candles that she has put on the floor.

Au Lisha held on to the safety talisman like she was clutching her lifeline, with a nervous and excited face, she placed her hand on Au Mei's forehead and called out softly, " little Mei?"

Au Mei's chest rose and fell as she breathed in and out clearly tired because of what just happened, when she heard her mother's voice, the little girl whose face was pale from exhaustion and pain opened her eyes and looked at her mother who was peering down at her with a nervous expression.

When Au Lisha saw that her daughter has opened her eyes and was no longer lying unconscious on the bed with her eyes closed as if dead, she turned to her dad and brother before crying out, " Father, Cheung, little Mei, she is..she is awake!" She was so thrilled upon seeing her daughter recover that fat tears of joy started to leak out of her eyes.

Old master Au rushed to take a look and he too got teary-eyed when he noticed that his granddaughter has opened her eyes, though she was still looking frail and sick, at least she was no longer lying on the bed as if half dead. " Little Mei, ho..how do you feel?" He croaked feeling like he has aged a decade after going through this ordeal.

" I …" Au Mei whose throat felt drier than the Sahara desert licked her lips and finally managed to speak a few words.  " I feel thirsty."

Hearing her words everyone chuckled, how can she not feel thirsty? After screaming so much like that it goes without saying that she was feeling thirsty.

Au Lisha wiped her eyes and hurriedly stood up as she cupped her daughter's cheek and whispered, " I will get the best water for you just wait." Then she noticed the distant look in her daughter's eyes and felt like a boulder was pressing on her chest as she patted her daughter's cheek and heartbrokenly croaked out, " I am sorry for not trusting you, baby."

She knew that the damage caused by her wouldn't be recovered by just a sorry but at least it was a start.

As she turned around her gaze fell on Song Yan who has finished cleaning up and sniffed before taking the latter's hand in hers as she thanked Song Yan again and again, " Miss Song... I don't know how to say this but I am really grateful for everything you have done, if it wasn't for you who helped us, who knows what might have happened." Au Lisha was really ashamed of herself, back then when Song Yan told her that her daughter was cursed she has said and done so many embarrassing things, recalling those embarrassing moments, Au Lisha's face turned red.

If she hadn't listened to her father and let Song Yan treat her daughter's 'curse' then she might have really lost her daughter without even knowing the cause and that bastard would have used the death of her daughter to divorce her and with his shamelessness might have blamed her for causing the death of her daughter.

She was secretly glad that her father was such a feudalist person and believed in Song Yan when she told them about Au Mei's curse if not, with her hard-headedness she might have sent Song Yan away and would have left her daughter to die and she wouldn't have been able to cry then.

It was a good thing too or else she wouldn't have been able to find out about the scheme of her husband—-no, ex-husband since their marriage wasn't even legal in terms of the law. Thinking about her husband, she raised her head and looked at Song Yan before asking, " This curse has it rebounded?"

This was something that she was most concerned about, after all so many things were happening at once what if Song Yan forgot to add that little trick of her?"

A woman in love was dangerous but a woman who was burning in rage and hatred was a freaking atomic bomb that might explode at any moment.

Song Yan knew that Au Lisha hated Yu Yize just as much as she loved him so, of course, she would be the most concerned about this little fact, so she nodded her head and answered, " It has been rebounded."

Song Yan: I worked so hard, won't you give me your power stones to praise me?

Fang Yanli: Oooh I worked hard as well but I will take gifts along with powerstones.

Song Yan: what happened to your Shame?

Fang Yanli: I ate it.
