Yaobao didn’t end the task with the Holy Fire this time. Instead, it opened its mouth, spraying golden flames while trying to sense the surroundings.
Suddenly, it felt the presence of swirling black mist within the human before it.
Before it could continue to examine, the black mist vanished completely under the golden flames.
"Ya Ya..."
Yaobao halted its actions, showing a hint of confusion.
Was it really over?
The disheveled man remained with his eyes closed, his face displaying comfort and enjoyment.
"It’s already finished," Qiao Sang said.
On one hand, she was answering Yaobao; on the other, she was reminding the mission issuer before her.
The man opened his eyes, first in a daze, then with great excitement as he confirmed:
"Boss, is my curse really removed?"
Qiao Sang nodded with a "Hmm."
"That’s fantastic! Fantastic!" The man was overjoyed, with tears of excitement welling up in his eyes.
Immediately, he thought of something and asked, "What skill was used for my treatment just now? It didn’t seem like Purification."
After asking this, he grew worried and cautiously said, "Are you sure my curse is really gone? Can I go to the Beast Taming Center to get checked first?"
At this point, he realized something and quickly explained nervously, "I absolutely don’t doubt you, it’s just that this is my first time being cursed, so I’m inexperienced and don’t know what it’s like after the curse is lifted."
You’ve been swindled out of all your savings; do you still have the money to go to the Beast Taming Center for a check-up... Qiao Sang internally quipped before saying, "The skill used for your treatment is called Holy Fire. Like the Purification skill, it can evolve curses. If you want to go to the Beast Taming Center for a check-up, that’s possible, but I still have other tasks to attend to, so I won’t be accompanying you."
"But..." The man was anxious, ready to say something.
Suddenly, his phone began to ring.
The man took a glance and decisively hung up.
However, the phone rang again in the next second.
"You should answer it," Qiao Sang advised.
The man then picked up the call, sounding impatient, "Who is this?"
"Is this Mr. Zou?" the voice on the other end asked.
"It’s me," the man replied, "What do you want?"
"I’m from the Zhengzhou Jiangzhi Sub-Station, we’ve caught the thief who was stealing from your home a few days ago, could you please come over to confirm?" the voice on the phone said.
The man was visibly stunned, then pleasantly surprised, saying, "Alright! Alright! I’ll head over now!"
The call ended.
The man looked over.
That expression seemed like he was filled with gratitude, almost wanting to bow down.
"I don’t think a trip to the Beast Taming Center is necessary now; the police just called saying they’ve caught the thief who robbed my house. I believe my curse is definitely lifted, thank you so much, boss!"
He wanted to step forward and shake hands, but considering he hadn’t showered in days, he refrained from doing so.
"It’s all part of my mission, it’s what I should do," Qiao Sang said.
...
Two minutes later, Qiao Sang and Yaobao appeared in front of a row of connected cottages out of thin air.
The cottages were linked together.
Instead of entering immediately, Qiao Sang asked, "Did you sense the presence of a curse when you lifted it just now?"
"Ya Ya."
Yaobao nodded and called out.
The human’s body was shrouded in dark mist and curses.
It seems this is Zheng Dazhuang... Qiao Sang silently entered with Shalala in her arms.
When Yaobao and the others also entered the room, Zheng Dazhuang impatiently closed the door, fearing being seen by others.
He quickly rushed into the kitchen and busied himself for a moment, bringing out glasses of drinks to place on the coffee table, and began to complain with a tender voice:
"Three months ago, I woke up one morning and suddenly became a woman. Boss, you wouldn’t understand; I was about to get married, and that day my fiancée suddenly dropped by. Seeing me in a woman’s form, she thought I was having an affair and insisted on breaking up. No matter how much I explained, she didn’t believe me. Later, she finally believed, but I just couldn’t change back."
"I haven’t been to work in three months, lost my job, and the neighbors are all aware of my upcoming marriage with my fiancée. Now, when I go outside even to take out the trash, people think I’m my own cheating partner."
"The looks people give me are unbearable. Boss, you have to help me break the curse!"
After finishing, he pulled out a tissue and started to cry delicately.
Little Treasure Spirit listened with great interest nearby.
Qingbao was the same, not noticing its doppelgangers outside disappear.
The curse lasted for three months, seemingly stronger than the previous ones lifted... Qiao Sang calmly pondered before speaking:
"You can stop crying now."
Considering the delicate appearance concealing a burly man named Zheng Dazhuang, she couldn’t feel any sympathy.
Zheng Dazhuang dabbed away the remaining tears, refraining from crying with a gaze of tearful restraint.
"Yaobao," Qiao Sang called.
"Ya Ya!"
Yaobao called out, then opened its mouth, spraying golden flames at the human before it.
"Ah!"
Zheng Dazhuang screamed, instinctively shielding his face.
Yet very soon, he stood frozen in place.
At the same time, Yaobao sensed the conditions within the human before it.
