The incantation seal is broken by the pure heart herb; the deep-rooted love will last forever.
Deep within the Poison Mist Valley, a clear spiritual spring was hidden. On the rocks by the spring, several emerald-green stalks of heart-clearing grass swayed in the wind. Crystal dewdrops condensed on their leaves, emitting a faint fragrance that stood in sharp contrast to the foul stench of the valley.
“I finally found the heart-clearing grass!” Xiao Wu jumped up excitedly, her rabbit ears twitching slightly. However, as she moved, the lingering Soul Locking Curse within her body flared up, causing her face to pale instantly as she stumbled toward Su Chen.
“Be careful.” Su Chen quickly supported her, condensing God-Defying Power at his fingertips as he gently stroked her back. “Don't worry, I'll help you completely break the Soul Locking Curse right now.”
Xiao Yi Xian walked slowly to the edge of the spiritual spring, her plain white skirt brushing over the grass. The Poison Mist around her transformed into a pale purple current, swirling around the heart-clearing grass. “The heart-clearing grass can neutralize the yin-cold of the curse seal. My Poison Body can guide the power of the curse seal to leak out, and with the purification of your God-Defying Power, we can completely eradicate the Soul Locking Curse.” She turned to look at Su Chen, her cheeks slightly flushed. “However, it requires the combined effort of the three of us. You need to get closer to her.”
Ning Rongrong immediately activated her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and pink amplification beams enveloped Su Chen and Xiao Wu. “First Spirit Ability: spirit power Amplification! Second Spirit Ability: Defense Amplification! Third Spirit Ability: Mental Amplification! Brother Su Chen, Little Sister Xiao Wu, good luck!”
The other Heroines surrounded them, forming a protective circle. Karin held a healing potion, her eyes nervous. “Lord Su Chen, if any accident happens during the process, I will immediately use the Blood Contract Power to help Little Sister Xiao Wu heal!”
Zhu Zhuqing's Shadow Soul Power transformed into a barrier, blocking any outside interference. “Rest assured, with me here, no one can disturb you.”
Kushina, Hinata, and Qing Lin also stood ready, vigilantly observing the surroundings to ensure everything was foolproof.
Su Chen helped Xiao Wu sit on a rock by the spiritual spring, while he sat opposite her, gently holding her hands. Their palms met, and the God-Defying Power instantly resonated with Xiao Wu's spirit power, as black-gold and pink halos intertwined and wound around each other.
“Bear with it, it might hurt a little.” Su Chen's tone was gentle, his black-gold eyes filled with heartache.
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, gripping his hands tightly, her eyes determined. “Brother Su Chen, I'm not afraid. As long as I can completely get rid of the Soul Locking Curse and be with you forever, I can endure any amount of pain!”
Xiao Yi Xian walked to their side and placed her pale white palm gently on top of Xiao Wu's head. Pale purple Poison Mist slowly flowed into her body. “It's starting.”
As Xiao Yi Xian's voice fell, Xiao Wu's body began to tremble violently. The black patterns of the Soul Locking Curse emerged from her body, snaking across her skin and emitting a cold aura. Xiao Yi Xian's Poison Body power guided the curse seal's energy outward, while the fragrance of the heart-clearing grass merged into Xiao Wu's body through the mist of the spiritual spring, neutralizing the yin-cold.
Su Chen's God-Defying Power was like warm sunlight, wrapping around Xiao Wu's spirit power and the curse seal's energy, purifying the yin-cold and hostility of the Soul Locking Curse bit by bit. During the process, Xiao Wu was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her lips turned pale from biting them, but she never let go of Su Chen's hands. She stared at him intently, as if he were her only pillar of support.
“Brother Su Chen...” Xiao Wu's voice carried a sob, and her body grew weaker and weaker.
“Don't be afraid, I'm here.” Su Chen leaned in, his warm breath brushing against her ear. “Hold on a bit longer, the Soul Locking Curse is almost broken.” He lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss onto her forehead. His God-Defying Power surged instantly, accelerating the purification speed.
The moment the kiss landed, Xiao Wu's whole body trembled. It was as if a warm current had flowed into her heart, and the pain actually eased quite a bit. She looked up at Su Chen, her eyes full of tears and love, and proactively leaned forward to kiss his lips.
This kiss carried the saltiness of tears but was incredibly hot and firm. The God-Defying Power, Poison Body power, and the power of the heart-clearing grass intertwined between their lips and teeth. The black patterns of the Soul Locking Curse quickly faded like melting snow, finally turning into a wisp of black smoke that was completely devoured by Xiao Yi Xian's Poison Body power.
“It's a success!” Xiao Yi Xian said softly, withdrawing her palm as the Poison Mist gradually receded.
Xiao Wu's body stopped trembling, the color slowly returned to her face, and her rabbit ears stood up again. Her eyes sparkled with the joy of survival and deep love. She threw herself into Su Chen's arms and cried out loud, “Brother Su Chen, I'm cured! The Soul Locking Curse is completely broken! I don't have to be afraid of the pain anymore!”
“Alright, alright, don't cry.” Su Chen held her tightly, gently patting her back. His tone was so gentle it could melt ice. “From now on, no one can place a curse on you, and no one can hurt you. I will always protect you and stay with you forever.”
Xiao Wu looked up at him with teary eyes, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his lips again. This kiss lacked the previous awkwardness and pain, containing only pure sweetness and peace of mind. Su Chen responded to her, his arms tightening as he held her closer, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones and blood.
The surrounding Heroines all showed gratified smiles. Karin ran over, grabbed Su Chen's arm, and said coquettishly, “Lord Su Chen, Little Sister Xiao Wu is finally better! Shouldn't we celebrate? I want to eat the roasted meat you make!”
Ning Rongrong also came over, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Su Chen's cheek. “Brother Su Chen, my support was also indispensable. How are you going to reward me?”
Zhu Zhuqing, Kushina, Hinata, and Qing Lin also gathered around, vying for Su Chen's attention. The scene was instantly filled with a sweet atmosphere of competing for favor.
Leaning in Su Chen's arms, Xiao Wu looked at the Sisters chattering around her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She knew that the complete breaking of the Soul Locking Curse not only freed her from pain but also deepened her bond with Su Chen and the Sisters.
Su Chen looked at the girls around him, his heart full of warmth and satisfaction. He knew that with Xiao Wu's Soul Locking Curse completely resolved, they could safely head to the Star Dou Secret Realm to find more treasures, increase their strength, and prepare for the confrontation with Spirit Hall and the God Realm. As for Xiao Ling, after this battle, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he wouldn't be able to pose a threat to them for a short time.
The heart-clearing grass by the spiritual spring swayed in the wind, and sunlight spilled through the gaps in the valley, illuminating the embracing figures. Xiao Wu leaned in Su Chen's arms, listening to his heartbeat and feeling the warmth of her Sisters, her heart filled with happiness. She knew that following Su Chen, her future would surely be filled with sunshine and laughter, and this contest against fate and powerful enemies would eventually lead to their victory through their unity and love.
