Chapter 441: Enchantment Curse, Heart Protection Scale

Yu Huang was proficient in lip-reading. She carefully observed Su Xuanye’s lips and recognized that he was saying, “Hundred birds court the phoenix.”

Yu Huang told Sheng Xiao, “Hundred birds court the phoenix.”

Upon hearing this, the old dean immediately explained, “Hundred birds courting the phoenix refers to you becoming the publicly acknowledged leader of the younger generation of Beast Tamers. When Su Xuanye saw Anna, Yin Rong, and the other Beast Tamers moving closer to you and fighting for you, he felt threatened by you.”

“That’s right.” Sheng Xiao glanced at Yu Huang and told her, “Did you notice that Yin Mingchong called Su Xuanye the Peacock King when he rebelled on the Eight Towers Mountain that day? This means that Su Xuanye is self-serving. He wants to become the king of the Blood Peacock Organization.”

“But he became a king by contract. We were willing to fight for you.” Sheng Xiao smiled and said proudly, “From that moment on, Su Xuanye regarded you as a strong opponent.”

Hearing this, Yu Huang mocked herself, “Should I feel honored?”

“Isn’t that so?” The old dean muttered. “He doesn’t even take us old fellows seriously. You should feel honored.”

Yu Huang pursed her lips and said in disdain, “He’s jealous of me.” He was jealous of Yu Huang’s innate leadership and cohesion.

However, no matter the exact reason was, it was an undeniable fact that Su Xuanye was threatened by Yu Huang.

The old dean asked Sheng Xiao, “But what does this have to do with Anna?”

“Look again.” Sheng Xiao let the video continue playing. When the video was about to go out of control, Sheng Xiao pointed at Su Xuanye’s lips and reminded Yu Huang, “Look, isn’t Su Xuanye talking? I watched the video five times just now and found that Su Xuanye chanted a spell before Anna lost control. You know lip-reading. Look at what he chanted.”

This time, Su Xuanye’s words were more obscure and difficult to understand. Yu Huang read it a few more times before saying uncertainly, “The hungry devil that all living beings fear. Please wake up quickly!” After reciting this sentence, Yu Huang’s expression changed drastically. “This is a curse! It’s a curse from the Purifying Spirit Art!”

Under Lin Jiansheng’s request, Yu Huang was already familiar with the contents of the Purifying Spirit Incantation. She clearly remembered that this incantation was in the Purifying Spirit Incantation!

Sheng Xiao snapped his fingers. “That’s it. Anna was awakened by Su Xuanye.”

Yu Huang refuted Sheng Xiao’s point. “But if you want to awaken Anna’s demonic nature, you have to have a medium. Anna has never interacted with Su Xuanye. There is no medium between them…”

At this point, Yu Huang suddenly thought of something that had happened a long time ago and immediately shut her mouth.

Yu Huang suddenly turned her head and stared at the black pearl bracelet on Anna’s right wrist. She was instantly enlightened.

“How is it?” Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang. “What do you know?”

Yu Huang’s phoenix eyes were filled with gloom. She said with a dark expression, “It’s Na Luo!”

Na Luo?

The old dean asked Yu Huang, “What did Na Luo do to Anna?”

“Grand Mentor, do you still remember that Anna always wears a black deep sea pearl bracelet on her wrist?”

The old dean also looked at Anna’s wrist in the video. On the day of the battle, Anna happened to be wearing the pearl bracelet.

The old dean was close to Anna, so he naturally knew the origin of this bracelet. “Of course I remember. Anna once told me that it was a gift from Na Luo. It’s a bracelet made of deep-sea black pearls. This bracelet can help people with fragile souls fall asleep faster, so Anna always wears it.”

“Besides, Anna doesn’t have many friends. She cherishes the friends around her. She wears any small thing you give her like a treasure and is afraid that she will lose it. So Anna wears that bracelet every day and can’t bear to take it off.”

Anna had lost her mother since she was young, and her father was an alcoholic and violent man. Anna grew up enduring her father’s abuse. Later, when she entered the Divine Eagle Academy, she was bullied because she stuttered and her beast form was weak.

Thus, Anna couldn’t sleep well. Whenever she slept, she would have nightmares.

That bracelet perfectly solved Anna’s problem.

Na Luo’s gift had really touched Anna’s heart.

At that time, Na Luo and Anna weren’t close. Therefore, when Yu Huang returned from the mystic realm and found that Na Luo had given Anna a bracelet, Yu Huang became suspicious.

“That’s right. When I discovered this bracelet back then, I even suspected that Na Luo had ulterior motives for getting close to Anna. I even specially asked my mentor about the material of this bracelet, but my mentor said that there was nothing wrong with this thing, so I didn’t take it to heart.”

But they were still careless.

“There’s indeed nothing wrong with the material of this bracelet, but there’s something wrong with the person who gave her the necklace.” Yu Huang stared at the bracelet on Anna’s wrist. Her beautiful face was gloomy as she said, “If Su Xuanye leaves his spiritual sense on this bracelet in advance and gets Na Luo to give the bracelet to Anna, then there will be a medium between Anna and Su Xuanye. This way, when the time is right, as long as Su Xuanye chants the curse, Anna will awaken her demonic nature.”

“So that day, Anna was schemed against by Su Xuanye and Na Luo.”

Yu Huang never expected that Na Luo had her eyes on Anna since last year.

If her guess was true, then Na Luo’s thoughts were too terrifying.

Why did the Blood Peacock Organization target Anna?

Did they already know about Anna’s beast form and deliberately awaken her demonic nature to raise her into a inhumane killing machine?

Sheng Xiao asked thoughtfully, “If your analysis is correct, will Anna regain consciousness as long as we take off the bracelet?”

The old dean smiled bitterly and said, “How can it be that easy? It’s very difficult for demonic cultivators to control themselves. Once their beast form awakens their demonic nature and tastes the sweetness, they will be unable to control themselves from then on. As they devour more and more spiritual power, and their cultivation becomes stronger, they will be even more difficult to control.”

“Those demonic cultivators often end up looking inhumane. Since Anna has awakened her demonic nature, there will never be a day when she recovers her consciousness…”

The old dean’s words instantly made the atmosphere in the bedroom heavy.

The Icy Night T-Rex carried Anna and quickly flew across the sky of the Blazing Realm Continent. In a few seconds, they arrived at the periphery of the primitive forest.

Anna stared at the vast primitive forest below that was as wide as three to four Divine Moon Empire. She immediately felt uneasy. “T-Rex, I’m a human. Can those demon beasts really accept me?”

“Yes.”

The Icy Night T-Rex landed by the river with Anna. This was the periphery of the primitive forest. There were some pots and pans scattered by the river, as well as some plastic bags and basins. It seemed like they were trash left behind by the last batch of mercenaries who arrived here.

The Icy Night T-Rex placed Anna on the shore and dived into the river. It gulped down a few mouthfuls of water to relieve its thirst before flying out of the river. When it flew out of the river, the water in the river was instantly frozen into ice.

Anna suddenly smiled when she saw this.

“You’re a walking ice cellar.”

The Icy Night T-Rex roared. He squatted quietly by the river and said to Anna, “Rest for a while. We’ll go to the center later.”

“Okay.”

Anna saw that the river was frozen. She suddenly picked up the bloody Lolita dress, took off her high heels, and skated on the river in her socks. The river ditch flowed from halfway up the mountain to the valley, so the ice extended into the valley. Anna sat on the ice and quickly slid from the middle reaches to the bottom of the valley.

Seeing that Anna had slid hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, the Icy Night T-Rex immediately spread its wings and flew over. It carefully picked Anna up from the river.

Anna said, “A few more times!”

While she was still occasionally conscious, she wanted to laugh a few more times.

“Alright!”

The Icy Night T-Rex played a few skating games with Anna.

Anna went crazy. She simply laid on the ice and let the ice bring her to the valley. She laid on the lake in the valley and quietly stared at the blue sky in the deep forest. She was lost in thought.

When she thought about how this clean world would one day have mountains of corpses and rivers of blood because of her, she felt suffocated.

Guilt and anguish surged into her heart.

Anna covered her eyes with her hands. She choked silently.

Suddenly, a cold dragon claw gently lifted her arm.

Anna opened her eyes. In her teary vision, an incomparably huge Icy Night T-Rex head was gradually approaching. As it got closer, Anna could clearly see the Icy Night T-Rex’s ice-blue eyes. At this moment, the reflection of herself in its eyes was crying.

The Icy Night T-Rex gently rubbed its head against Anna’s shoulder, and Anna hugged its head.

From now on, the only person who was willing to follow her was this silly Icy Night T-Rex.

“Anna, I want to give you a gift.”

Anna let go of the Icy Night T-Rex and a curious expression appeared on her beautiful face. “What are you giving me?”

The Icy Night T-Rex suddenly flew into the sky. He extended his sharp claws and pressed them on his heart. The Icy Night T-Rex used all his strength to tear off the dragon scale closest to his chest, along with his flesh and blood.

Pulling out the dragon scale was a very painful thing, especially the heart-protecting scale.

The Icy Night T-Rex couldn’t help but roar in pain. His deafening roar frightened the low-level demon beasts in the outer circle into hiding in the cave.

The Icy Night T-Rex flew back to Anna with the protective scale.

“Anna.” The Icy Night T-Rex handed the heart-protecting scale to Anna. He said sincerely and affectionately, “My mother told me that when the Icy Night T-Rex race meets the girl they love the most, they will take off their only heart-protecting scale and woo her.”

The Icy Night T-Rex stuffed his only protective scale into Anna’s hand. He said, “I don’t know when you will completely lose your mind. Before you lose your mind, I want you to know that I love you.”
