Chapter 477 - Embodiment Of Curses

After arriving at the Northern Continent and flying for around four hours, Yuan and the others arrived at this somewhat empty hill that only had a single small building, a tree, and a small pond beside the tree where three koi fishes can be seen swimming in circles.

Upon landing on this hill, Li s.h.i.+zhen went to knock on the door.

However, n.o.body answered the door.

"Hmm… That man probably went fis.h.i.+ng," Li s.h.i.+zhen said a moment later.

"Fis.h.i.+ng? This time of the day?" Yuan raised his eyebrows, as it was getting dark.

"Yes, he's a weirdo." Li s.h.i.+zhen nodded.

"Who are you calling a weirdo, you s...o...b.. doctor?" A voice suddenly resounded.

The door to the building opened, and a short old man with a bald head walked outside the next moment.

"If you were here, why didn't you open the door? What took you so long?" Li s.h.i.+zhen said with a frown on his face.

"I was taking a nap! If I didn't hear your annoying voice, I would've remained in bed!" The old man exclaimed in a somewhat angry voice.

"Hmm? Madam Feng? You're here as well?" The old man suddenly noticed Feng Yuxiang and immediately began smiling.

"How may I help you today, Madam Feng?"

Seeing the old man's att.i.tude turn 180 when speaking with Feng Yuxiang, Li s.h.i.+zhen shook his head.

"d.a.m.n old pervert," he snorted in a low voice.

"I am not the one who needs your help today. My Young Master needs your help." Feng Yuxiang said to him.

"What? Young Master?" The old man's eyes widened with shock.

He then turned to look at the third person there.

"Whoa! Holy heavens!"

When the old man saw Yuan, he suddenly took a step back and shouted in a terrified voice, acting like he just saw a ghost.

"Is there something wrong?" Yuan couldn't help but ask after seeing his reaction.

"S-Stay away from me!" The old man shouted at him before running back into the house and slamming the door shut, leaving Yuan dumbfounded.

Even Li s.h.i.+zhen and Feng Yuxiang were left speechless by his reaction to seeing Yuan, as this was their first time seeing him acting in such a manner.

"What the heck is going on now, Zhai Ye?" Li s.h.i.+zhen asked him.

"f.u.c.k you, Li s.h.i.+zhen! I should be asking you that! Are you trying to kill me?!" Zhai Ye shouted from inside the building, sounding really angry for some reason.

"What? Why would I want to kill you? Have you finally gone crazy from old age? We're here to talk about curses! This young man has a friend that might be cursed, so we came here for your expertise!" Li s.h.i.+zhen said, feeling really confused now.

"Hahaha! That's really funny! Because that young man you brought here is loaded with curses— powerful curses that even I didn't know could exist! He has so many curses that I wouldn't be surprised if he was the embodiment of curses!" Zhai Ye said, revealing his reason for his reaction.

"What? I'm filled with curses?" Yuan's eyes widened with shock.

Even Li s.h.i.+zhen and Feng Yuxiang were shocked to hear this.

They turned to look at Yuan, but they couldn't see anything wrong with him.

"Come out here and explain yourself, Zhai Ye! I may not be as experienced with curses as you, but I can at least tell when someone is cursed, and I can't sense anything ominous coming from him!" Li s.h.i.+zhen said with a frown on his face.

"What do you know, you amateur?! Have you forgotten about my special skill? I can tell whether someone is cursed or not at glance, no matter how weak or powerful the curse is!" Zhai Ye said.

Li s.h.i.+zhen sighed.

He then asked Yuan, "Young Master, do you have any idea what he's talking about?"

Yuan pondered for a moment before realizing something.

"Ah! Do you mean the curse that's a.s.sociated with my Legacy? I had accepted a Legacy recently, and the Legacy contained a small curse. It's a curse called Minor Misfortunate, and it only affects my luck," he said.

"You heard him, old man. It's only a Minor Curse. How can you be scared of a Minor Curse? I have never seen you act so fearful in front of a curse before!" Li s.h.i.+zhen said to him a moment later, even laughing a bit.

After a moment of silence, the door opened slightly, and Zhai Ye peeked through the narrow s.p.a.ce, but he didn't dare to come out.

He looked at Yuan with a serious expression on his face and said in a solemn voice, "You think I would be afraid of a mere Minor Curse when I have dealt with even Major Curses before? Young man, you have more than one curse on you right now. In fact, there's so many that I'm amazed you're still alive."

"Zhai Ye, explain yourself! What do you mean by that?!" Feng Yuxiang said with a deep frown on her face.

Zhai Ye then spoke, "Although the curse may be called 'Minor Misfortunate', it's actually a Major Curse. However, that curse might as well be a Minor Curse if not even lower compared to the other curses on him."

"There exist two types of curses in this world— artificial curses and natural curses. Artificial curses are caused by other humans whilst natural curses occur naturally if certain conditions are met. There are also many levels of curses. Minor, Major, Supreme, and Ancient, to name a few. The most common curses are naturally artificial curses."

"And as of this moment, I can see six… seven… perhaps even more curses on him, and they're all above Major Curses. However, that's not even the shocking part. These curses on him… they're all natural curses as far as I can tell."

"What?! Seven natural curses?! How is that even remotely possible?!" Li s.h.i.+zhen exclaimed, not daring to believe his ears.

A single natural curse was already rare enough, much less seven! And they are all affecting a single person right now?

Yuan looked down at his own body. He also couldn't believe it. Why does he have so many natural curses on him?
