Chapter 211: 211 Wait Until I Leave Seclusion, Then Let Our Marriage Contract Be Annulled

211 Wait until I leave seclusion, then let our marriage contract be annulled.

Xiang Yichu and the three of them watched this scene, letting out a faint sigh.

But they knew this was the best destination for them.

They were truly liberated.

Otherwise, if they went to the underworld, they would face eternal punishment.

Tushan Jiu merely watched the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipate, remaining motionless for a long while.

Suddenly, a ghost power lollipop with its wrapper already removed appeared before her.

She tilted her head to glance at Xie Shiyu, gave a small smile, and put it in her mouth, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine, but this time I really need to borrow some luck from you."

The deal wasn't completed; she took the payment but still failed to save Qi Xia.

Thus she violated the creditors' rules, bringing misfortune upon herself—and a great misfortune at that.

Xie Shiyu chuckled lightly, put his arm around her shoulders in a half‑embrace, and said, "Girlfriend, do as you please."

Tushan Jiu stepped out of Xie Shiyu's embrace, walked over, picked up the jade bottle from the ground and placed it into her bracelet; time froze, and when she returns she will still need to use her heart's blood to draw the dispelling talisman.

Now she will also experience drawing and using the talisman herself.

Just as she finished gathering her things here, the people from the Spring City Office arrived.

Because one needs magical implements and talisman seals to clear the way here, due to the illusionary barrier.

Tushan Jiu and the others didn't waste any time coming up because beneath the Heavenly Pool of Spring White Mountain lies a dragon that is currently hatching its eggs.

He owed a debt to the creditors, so naturally there is a karmic connection.

When the debt collector comes knocking, what reason is there to stop them?

Therefore, wherever she goes, the passage is smooth and unobstructed.

Moreover, as she stands upon this dragon vein right now, spiritual energy is actually seeping into her body to replenish the vital energy she just expended.

After explaining the circumstances to the Spring City Office staff for a short while, she has mostly recovered.

Tushan Jiu sighed, "Ah, it's still the spiritual energy that matters."

What a pity—spiritual energy is a rare commodity in the Age of Dharma Decline.

With the matter settled, everyone prepared to descend the mountain.

The unconscious Su Mu'an was carried away by the office personnel.

For the rest of his life, he will basically be detained in the office's holding facility.

Wang Dongqing glanced at Maomao, who was dazed, then, using his divine foresight, pulled out a half‑used pack of tissues from his pocket, took one out and handed it to her, muttering:

"I'm also impressed by your slow reaction—half an hour has passed and you're only just getting moved. Good thing I know what you're like, so I left you half a pack of tissues. Here, go ahead and cry slowly."

Maomao obediently took the tissue and said, "Thank you."

Wang Dongqing slung his peach‑wood sword onto his shoulder and whispered to her, "No problem, let's go—I'll lead the way; you can walk and cry at the same time, okay?"

As he was speaking, Xiang Yichu had already taken a magical implement and headed down the mountain.

Seeing him leave, Wang Dongqing shouted, "Hey hey, Fellow Daoist Xiang, at least say something as you go!"

He hastily grabbed Maomao to catch up, walking and whispering, "Hurry, hurry—he has plenty of vital energy, so don't let it go to waste."

Seeing them all depart, Tushan Jiu also stepped forward to leave.

But Xie Shiyu pulled her back.

He lowered his head and said, "Jiujiu, I feel the air here is excellent; borrowing luck could yield twice the result with half the effort. To keep you from suffering misfortune on the way down, first dispel the heavenly punishment."

Tushan Jiu chuckled, rose onto her tiptoes to cup his face, and said, "Boyfriend, shouldn't I praise you for being clever?"

Having said that, she boldly pressed her lips to his.

A golden gas swirled slowly around the two of them.

The affair concluded, yet the group did not go down the mountain.

After all, there's still the Liu Family Elder Ancestor unsettled on the mountain.

As for the Northeast Immortal Family's domain, the Tushan Family indeed has no connections there.

This time Tushan Jiu, taking the rare approach of taking one step to see a hundred, thought that with the Su Family's heart's blood in her hand she could dispel the curse placed by the Su Family.

Moreover, the Liu Family Elder Ancestor is also afflicted by the curse; she doesn't mind lending them a blade and a drop of heart's blood.

Once the Liu Family Elder Ancestor's debt is entered into the ledger, she herself becomes the creditor of the Liu Family.

They are all cultivators, living long lives; as long as the Liu Family keeps its incense burning, her sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, great‑grandsons and great‑granddaughters will eventually have connections with the Northeast Immortal Family.

When this idea occurred to her, she suddenly understood the feelings of her grandparents when they paved the way for her.

Several people then made another trip to the Liu Family; this visit to the ancestral hall turned out worst for Wang Dongqing.

He had not intended to go inside; he was merely waiting outside.

As a result, suddenly a few pythons slithered by.

He instantly yelled, then instinctively pushed the door open and rushed into the Liu Family Ancestral Hall to look for Tushan Jiu and the others.

But the instant the door was opened, every variety of snake in the hall turned its gaze toward him in unison.

In that moment he froze there, then, after reacting, he burst out of the door so fast he left afterimages.

The snakes inside the hall looked at one another, their heads adorned with a row of question marks.

Once everything was over, Tushan Jiu and her companions returned to the hotel.

Spring White Mountain is the most fun to visit in this season.

Having all arrived, they decided to just relax, spending a few days here skiing, blowing bubbles, and soaking in the natural hot springs.

Otherwise, once Tushan Jiu returns to Nan Cheng, she will likely have to enter seclusion to break the curse.

After all, drawing the talisman paper that will break the curse also requires some effort.

That night, Wang Dongqing finally recovered from the terror of the scene in the Liu Family Ancestral Hall that had filled his mind.

After he revived at full health, he wanted to organize a 'celebration banquet'; no matter what, he would celebrate Tushan Jiu's victory and 'new life'.

Xie Shiyu had already had this in mind, though he hadn't said it; he had already decided on the restaurant.

The group left the hotel and went to the restaurant to celebrate.

Tushan Jiu was also happy today.

She had drunk quite a bit, a faint blush on her face, her eyes glazed, seeming drunk but not quite.

One hand propped her head, the other swirled the wine glass on the table, her almond eyes slightly narrowed, the corner of her mouth always smiling, she just kept looking at Xie Shiyu.

Usually gentle and demure, she now looked mixed with a hint of charming allure.

Xie Shiyu felt a bit restless under her gaze, his Adam's apple rolling up and down twice; he leaned closer, helped her tuck her stray hair behind her ear, then pinched her slightly red earlobe, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why do you keep looking at me? Are you drunk?"

When Tushan Jiu was drunk, her reactions were a bit slower than usual; after a couple of seconds she nodded and said frankly: "Mm, I'm drunk, I'm looking at my boyfriend because he's handsome, I can't get enough."

Xie Shiyu gave a low chuckle, glanced sideways at Wang Dongqing, who was still pouring drinks for Xiang Yichu, and at Maomao, already slumped over the table asleep; he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Is Jiujiu very happy today?"

Tushan Jiu nodded, "Mm, very happy. To be frank, our having this kind of fate is all because of my curse; although we later came to understand each other's hearts, this is still a knot in my heart."

She shook her head again, "I don't like this feeling!"

"I like you, so I just want to be with you without any ulterior motive."

"Xie Shiyu, when I leave seclusion, let's annul our marriage contract."

Hearing that, Xie Shiyu felt a tightness in his chest, his gaze deep as he stared at Tushan Jiu.

Seeing him tense up, Tushan Jiu curled her lips into a smile, leaned forward, and whispered in his ear:

"Let's the two of us sign a new......"
