At this moment, just as the Evil Dragon Curse was transferred, it was immediately suppressed. This indicated that Li Cunxu had already been cursed before the Evil Dragon Curse was transferred.
Moreover, this curse was extremely concealed, to the point that even the Curse Celestial Heart failed to detect it.
If it weren't for the intervention of the Evil Dragon Curse, which triggered the Curse Celestial Heart's rule of "one curse taking effect," it would have remained undetected.
Using the power of the Evil Dragon Curse, Li Cunxu sensed the hidden curse within his body.
He saw a sky full of peach blossoms fluttering, and just as they were about to land, they were either torn apart, cut in half, burned, or drowned...
"It's indeed the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse."
This curse uses excessive favor from women as a killing mechanism. Once it erupts, the victim is likely to meet a tragic end at the hands of multiple women.
The greatest advantage of this curse is its concealment, making it difficult for outsiders to detect.
Without prior precautions, even a king could fall victim to this curse.
Li Cunxu had vaguely sensed something was amiss.
To avoid trouble, he had offended Shi Jintang and decisively transferred schools, leaving No. 17 High School.
However, when faced with similar issues at No. 18 Girls' School, he knew that the principal, Mei Ruyu, who had a severe aversion to men, was an even bigger problem than Shi Jintang, the vice principal of No. 17 High School. Yet, he chose not to leave.
Looking back, it still didn't make sense.
Then there was the recent Strongest Newcomer Cup, where he only encountered two male opponents, Lin Fei and Chen Baiyan, while the rest were all female. Was that reasonable?
Not at all.
And there was Lin Qingwei, who had been infatuated with him since kindergarten, often bullying him due to her inability to express her feelings properly.
All these unusual signs made Li Cunxu, once the top curse master in the game, suspicious.
Moreover, Li Cunxu was familiar with the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse.
In the game, relying on the immortality of players, he had visited every NPC curse master he could find to duel and exchange knowledge about curses.
Among the many curse masters, one with the alias "Rotten Peach Blossom" left a deep impression on Li Cunxu. After being cursed by him with the Peach Blossom Calamity, Li Cunxu would frequently encounter Mei Ruyu, whose Medusa's Eye was a natural counter to players, petrifying them and banning their accounts for seven days.
"Who could have cast the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse on me?"
"Lin Qingwei has been clinging to me since kindergarten, which means I was already cursed with the Peach Blossom Calamity back then."
Enemies of my parents?
Probably not.
Since they had already killed my parents, there was no need to go through the trouble of using the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse to kill me. A simple stab would have sufficed to end me.
The Peach Blossom Calamity Curse is an advanced curse, and only a grand curse master is qualified to cast it. Moreover, casting it is particularly troublesome.
Especially since the cost of casting the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse is enormous.
Enemies of my grandfather, Li Shiji?
Probably not.
Li Shiji was a ruthless man with an extremely strong sense of vengeance. He was so ruthless that even the higher-ups of Pupil City unanimously agreed that the position of Pupil City Mayor should not be entrusted to such a man. Therefore, as long as Li Shiji was alive, his enemies would not dare to harm his family.
The lifelong enemy of my grandfather, Li Shiji, who lurks in the shadows?
Probably not.
That person is also a ruthless individual with immense patience. He doesn't act often, but when he does, it's always shocking.
The only time he acted, he wiped out Li Shiji's entire family.
Therefore, he wouldn't make such a move that could alert Li Shiji, giving him even the slightest hint that someone was plotting against his descendants.
My father's close brothers?
They were indeed suspects.
Firstly, they had the means to hire a great Curse Master, and secondly, they had a motive to cast the curse.
The struggle for family inheritance.
Li Cunxu knew how insane they could get in their fight for the family fortune, even to the point of inviting wolves into their home, giving Li Shiji's lifelong enemy the chance to wipe out his entire family.
Therefore, they remained vigilant against anyone who had the ability and potential to compete for the inheritance.
Moreover, the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse could kill without drawing attention, perfectly meeting their needs—harming themselves without arousing Li Shiji's suspicion.
Was it them?
He wasn't sure; it was just speculation.
Li Cunxu touched his heart, "Why overthink it? Once I get stronger, I'll go find the great Curse Master who cast the curse on me and ask who did it."
"Uh... what about her?"
Looking at the graceful figure of the young girl, Li Cunxu felt a headache coming on.
Leaving her naked wasn't an option.
Helping her get dressed? She wouldn't be able to explain it when she woke up.
Not helping? She still wouldn't be able to explain it.
Caught in a dilemma, Li Cunxu finally covered her with a blanket, out of sight, out of mind.
Lin Qingwei, though she liked him, had a peculiar way of showing it—bullying him for over a decade. Those memories were still fresh in his mind, and Li Cunxu didn't like her one bit.
"Actually, it's not her fault; it's the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse at work."
Rationally, he understood this, but emotionally, he still held a grudge against Lin Qingwei.
Just then, Lin Qingwei woke up.
The moment her beautiful eyes opened, Li Cunxu's killing intent surged. Looking at her slender neck, he had the urge to twist it.
Killing Lin Qingwei now would be all too easy for Li Cunxu.
The Evil Dragon Curse had endowed him with the immense strength of a malevolent dragon.
Should he kill her?
Or should he kill her?
After a long contemplation, Li Cunxu finally restrained his restless hands.
If he killed her, Lin Jiusan would surely come after him with everything he had! The Lin family would also cause him trouble.
Unless Li Cunxu was willing to seek refuge under Li Shiji's protection. Not to mention the potential downsides of being under Li Shiji's wing, whether he could even obtain his protection was another question.
Li Shiji was a man who valued family ties, but he was also selfless, willing to sacrifice his own for the greater good, and so righteous it was almost sinister.
Moreover, the situation between Li Cunxu and Lin Qingwei hadn't reached the point where one of them had to die.
What suddenly stirred Li Cunxu's killing intent was Lin Qingwei's eyes.
Lin Qingwei's Hundred Wood Eyes Bloodline Talent had awakened. This wasn't the reason for his killing intent; the real reason was that the character in her eyes wasn't 'wood' but 'dragon.'
Lin Qingwei's Bloodline Talent had mutated.
The Hundred Wood Eyes had mutated into 'Hundred Dragon Eyes.'
This was terrifying.
The Hundred Wood Eyes of the Forest Wood Lin Family were never just about controlling plants; such a simple ability wouldn't rank as the fourth recognized Bloodline Talent in Pupil City.
The true power of the Hundred Wood Eyes was to control the ecology of trees.
The Thousand Forest Eyes could control the ecology of a grove.
The Ten Thousand Forest Eyes could control the ecology of a forest.
So, what was the ability of Lin Qingwei's 'Hundred Dragon Eyes'?
To control the ecology of dragons?
Regardless of what the 'Hundred Dragon Eyes' could do, the Lin family's emphasis on mutated Bloodline Talents alone made Li Cunxu wary.
If it were someone else who had awakened the 'Hundred Dragon Eyes,' Li Cunxu wouldn't have cared. He had the unique Divinity Endowment and his past life's gaming experience. No matter how strong their talent was, as long as he didn't die prematurely, he was certain to surpass them.
But it just so happened that Lin Qingwei, who had a yandere crush on him, was the one who awakened.
Li Cunxu strongly suspected that once Lin Qingwei gained prominence within the Lin family, she would use the family's resources to imprison him.
Such a scenario was entirely possible.
After all, no one could predict the thoughts of a yandere.
