110: Method 2 to break the blood curse

"Breaking the blood curse will have some impact on Treasure Ying," Yin Feng said.

Hearing his words, Lou Jingyao had an "as expected" expression, but finally asked, "May I know what kind of impact?"

Yin Feng: "Breaking the blood curse takes three days and two nights. Treasure Ying won't be able to handle it."

Lou Jingyao fell silent, a flush creeping onto his face.

"What? Are you going to give up? After all, Treasure Ying's health is also important," Yin Feng asked him.

"I'll be careful; I won't let Ying's body be harmed," Lou Jingyao said before hanging up.

Thinking of the method to break the blood curse on him, he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.

Lou Jingyao's parents and Lou Zhiwei really wanted to know the situation, but they didn't dare call to ask.

Finally, Lou Zhiwei couldn't help but send a message: [Brother, does Little Ying have a way to break the blood curse on you?]

After the message was sent, she waited nervously.

*Ding-dong.*

[Ying has a way to break it. Tell Mom and Dad to prepare a dowry; I'm getting married off.]

"Dad, Mom, my brother is saved! Little Ying can break the blood curse on him," Lou Zhiwei quickly informed them of the good news.

"What? Zhiwei, is it true? Is Jingyao really saved?" Lou Mother asked excitedly.

"It's true. Look at the message Brother sent." Lou Zhiwei showed them her phone.

"That's wonderful! Hubby, Jingyao is really saved." Lou Mother burst into tears looking at her son's message.

"Honey, don't cry. We should be happy that our son is saved. Look, he even asked us to prepare a dowry; he's getting married off," Lou Father held and comforted her.

"Yes, you're right, Hubby. I should be happy. Right now, the most important thing is Jingyao's dowry.

Miss Gao's family is so Fugui; they surely won't care for our family's assets. What should we do?" Lou Mother started worrying about Lou Jingyao's dowry again.

"Why don't you ask Auntie Xi? Aren't they also preparing a dowry for Big Brother Xi?" Lou Zhiwei suggested.

"Right, how could I forget? Both are marrying the same person. Wenlan started preparing before me, so she must know," Lou Mother immediately made the call.

The two of them talked on the phone for several hours.

Early the next morning, Lou Jingyao sat at the dining table waiting for Xi Yan.

"It seems you know what method Ying'er is using to save you," Xi Yan said as he sat across from him.

"I called Yin Feng last night because I was afraid Ying would be in danger. I didn't expect the method to break my blood curse would be *that* kind of method. It was unexpected." Lou Jingyao smiled a bit provocatively as he thought about what was to come.

"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky." Xi Yan felt a bit stifled in his heart regarding his good friend.

At first, knowing he was saved, he was very happy for him.

But after asking about the method to break the curse last night, he actually thought it would have been better if he were the one cursed.

"Don't worry, when Ying wakes up, I'll take her to my house so you won't have to look at us and feel stifled." Lou Jingyao was smiling a bit foolishly now.

"I'm going to work. Take it easy; Ying'er's health is the most important." Xi Yan indicated he didn't want to see him at all right now.

As soon as Xi Yan left, Lou Jingyao went upstairs, picked up Gao Ying, and left the place.

Gao Ying didn't wake up until evening; one could imagine how much of a fuss Xi Yan had made last night.

As soon as there was movement on her end, Lou Jingyao came to her side.

"You must be hungry. I made some porridge; have a taste." Lou Jingyao helped her up and leaned her against the pillows.

He gently fed her the porridge.

After a bowl of porridge, Gao Ying felt full.

"This is my residence. Go and wash up first; I've put clothes in the bathroom." Lou Jingyao dropped a kiss on her forehead and then went out with the dishes.

"You've asked Yin Feng?" Gao Ying asked as she came out after washing up and saw him sitting on the bed.

"Mhm." Lou Jingyao stood up and helped dry her hair with a towel.

"I didn't know it would turn out like this either. You also know that I have other people around me besides Ah Yan.

If you mind, we can act as if nothing happened after I finish breaking the blood curse for you." Gao Ying looked at him through the mirror.

Lou Jingyao's hand drying her hair paused. "Do you hate me that much?

Is it that hard to be with me?"

"Are your ears just for decoration? I said *if* you mind that I have so many people around me, we can act as if nothing happened after I help you break the curse." Gao Ying turned around to look at him.

"I want to stay by your side, I've always wanted to, but I was timid because of my health.

Every time I saw Xi Yan talk about how sweet and happy you were together, I was really jealous.

He clearly knew I was thinking of you, yet he always talked about how sweet your time together was right in front of me.

Ying, I missed you so much. I wanted to go to Magic City to see you so badly, but I knew that as soon as I saw you, I would become even more greedy and even less willing to leave you." Lou Jingyao knelt down and looked into her eyes, seriously professing his feelings.

"You know my family isn't simple. Why didn't you tell me about your health earlier?" Gao Ying asked, her expression unfriendly.

Lou Jingyao explained to her, "My parents consulted many experts about this curse, but many of them didn't know what to do.

One expert did give a solution, which was a life for a life.

At that time, Dad was prepared to trade his life for mine, but I strongly refused.

I was afraid that if I told you, the result would be the same, so I didn't say anything.

But in the end, you found out anyway, and the method to break the curse doesn't require trading a life."

Gao Ying was used to him being flippant every time she saw him, so she was a bit unaccustomed to him being so serious.

"Aren't you worried my body won't be able to handle it?" Gao Ying thought of the method to break the curse and felt as if her waist was about to break.

"I'll be gentle. I won't make it too hard on you," Lou Jingyao said with a blush.

"I need to rest well tonight. Go sleep in another room." Gao Ying pulled him up and pushed him toward the door.

"Ying, it's going to be the same number of days anyway. Even if you kick me out today, the count won't decrease.

So we might as well start early and get it over with." Lou Jingyao turned her around, and the two of them tumbled onto the bed.

"But I... mmm—"

Lou Jingyao didn't let her finish, sealing her lips with his.

What followed happened naturally.

For the next three days, except for Lou Jingyao leaving the room to cook every day, the two of them spent the rest of the time in bed.

[Sister, how are you doing?] Fugui asked in a cheeky voice.

"Heh, if it's this kind of method next time, I absolutely will not compromise.

Hiss!" After her tough talk, Gao Ying rubbed her aching waist.

[I think you've been quite happy these past two days. Is this a case of your body being more honest than your mouth?]

"Fugui, are you itching for a beating? How dare you peep." Gao Ying's voice was full of murderous intent.

[I've been wronged! Whenever you guys are doing... the deed, I'm automatically locked in a dark room. How could I possibly peep?] Fugui cried out in protest.

"Ying, time to eat. Today we have your favorite Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish and Fried Pork in Scoop." Lou Jingyao came in with the food.
