Ch 143: Wen Chuhan’s Comeback

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, Zhang Buran swallowed the Curse Pellet whole and said:

“It seems your family’s emotions are quite deep.”

“I’ll take this little curse for you.”

After Zhang Buran finished speaking, he retracted his Magical Power.

Those Life-Reaping Little Ghosts from afar, who had long been unable to contain themselves, rushed over like a flash!

These Little Ghosts were originally looking for the curse’s aura to claim the lives of the Wen sisters.

But now, the curse had transferred to Zhang Buran, so the Little Ghosts also began to claim his life.

However, with just a thought from Zhang Buran, Thunderous Light flashed, and the dozen or so Life-Reaping Little Ghosts surrounding him instantly scattered!

If this level of Life-Reaping Little Ghosts could injure Zhang Buran’s skin and flesh, then Zhang Buran wouldn’t be a Celestial Master.

This small amount of Curse Qi, after being swallowed by Zhang Buran, was like a drop of ink in the vast ocean, completely annihilated.

Zhang Buran perceived that the lingering curse on Wen Chuhan and Wen Churou had also dissipated.

Wen Churou felt her body lighten, a feeling of unprecedented comfort.

“It’s done.”

“The curse is lifted,” Zhang Buran said.

“Great! Thank you, Zhang Buran! You are simply incredibly powerful!”

“You’re practically an Immortal!”

“…”

Suffering from such a minor curse was originally just a trivial matter.

Earlier, it was said that one member of the Wen family would act as a scapegoat.

Zhang Buran actually wanted to see, at this moment of life and death, whether blood relatives could sacrifice themselves for each other.

Even Ouyang Hong, whom Zhang Buran was most pessimistic about, who was usually sharp-tongued and mean, dared to offer her life.

“Zhang Buran, are you alright? You’ve been so good to me, even taking the curse for me…”

Wen Chuhan wept uncontrollably, moved and worried about Zhang Buran at the same time.

Zhang Buran quickly interrupted Wen Chuhan’s self-moved, coldly saying: “I save people to accumulate Merit, so that I can be reborn into a good family after death.”

“Even if it were a dog, I would save you, Wen Chuhan.”

Wen Chuhan was speechless for a moment.

After two seconds of silence, Wen Chuhan choked back a sob and tentatively said, “Zhang Buran, are we still…”

“We’ve long since severed ties.”

Zhang Buran frowned.

“Wen Chuhan, I only removed the first layer of the curse. You still have another layer, and I’m helpless about that. After the Daoist Alliance researches a method, someone will come to treat you.”

“From now on, even if we meet again, consider each other strangers.”

“That’s all I have to say.”

“Zhang…”

Without giving Wen Chuhan a chance to speak, Zhang Buran “zipped,” a flash of electricity, and disappeared.

Looking at the empty space, even though he was just there, I felt he was so close, yet so far away.

Wen Chuhan finally couldn’t hold back, as if losing all her strength, and collapsed to the ground.

“Wuwuwu… Zhang Buran, why are you so cruel to me? Is this your revenge on me?”

“Clearly… clearly I am also a victim…”

“Why can’t you forgive me… wuwuwu…”

“Sister, don’t cry.”

Wen Churou stepped forward to comfort her, embracing Wen Chuhan with heartache:

“Zhang Buran gives me a profound and unfathomable feeling, completely different from the feeling he gave me before.”

“Perhaps… ordinary people like us are ultimately not in the same world as him.”

“Wuwuwu!” Wen Chuhan cried even louder and more sadly upon hearing this.

Subconsciously, Wen Chuhan still wanted to keep Zhang Buran.

However, Zhang Buran now gave her absolutely no chance.

Even the slightest glimmer of hope, Wen Chuhan did not see.

“Chuhan, don’t cry… I remember your 30-day Divorce Cooling-Off Period with Zhang Buran hasn’t ended yet? You still have a chance.”

“But Zhang Buran doesn’t want me anymore, he despises me… didn’t you hear what he said just now? He called me cheap…” Wen Chuhan cried, her eyes brimming with tears.

“And… he misunderstood me so deeply. I was with Gu Yun during my amnesia, and Zhang Buran will never forgive me for that… wuwuwu…”

“You can’t get Zhang Buran back, but Gu Yun isn’t bad either. Haven’t you always liked him? Being with Gu Yun is fulfilling your wish, right?”

Ouyang Hong’s words only caused Wen Chuhan to cry even louder.

“Gu Yun… what is he? He’s a deadbeat simp! How can he compare to Zhang Buran? Gu Yun even flirted with other girls in front of me… wuwuwu…”

Ouyang Hong sighed, “Sigh… it’s also my fault. If I hadn’t tried so hard to bring you and Gu Yun together…”

“No, it’s all my fault, all my fault! I’m a cheap woman, a fickle cheap woman! Even if I had amnesia at that time, I shouldn’t have…”

Wen Chuhan regretted her actions deeply.

If she had considered Zhang Buran’s feelings during her amnesia… there might still be a chance to reconcile now.

Wen Tianqing and Wen Chengxin, two grown men, watched as Wen Chuhan’s eyes swelled from crying. Although they felt heartache, they were helpless.

The good news is that for now, their sisters are safe from immediate danger.

The bad news is… it seems the Wen Family has permanently lost a powerful protector.

“By the way, Chuhan! Even if Zhang Buran acts so heartless, it’s true that he liked you for three years, and was a simp for three years!”

“Maybe Zhang Buran is just angry and still has feelings for you?”

“You can try to win Zhang Buran back!”

“Men, they have no resistance to beautiful women! My daughter is so beautiful, which man wouldn’t love her?”

“If you have a better temper, and accommodate Zhang Buran a little, sincerely apologize, and then pursue him wholeheartedly, maybe he won’t divorce you?”

“A man chasing a woman, it’s like climbing a mountain; a woman chasing a man, it’s like a veil.”

“Chuhan, don’t you think so?”

Ouyang Hong’s lengthy brainwashing actually stunned Wen Chuhan…

That’s right, she can pursue Zhang Buran again!

Zhang Buran must still have feelings for her!

After all, the more you love someone, the more disappointed you become.

Zhang Buran is so disappointed now.

Doesn’t that prove he once loved her deeply?

Then Wen Chuhan must work hard to turn Zhang Buran’s disappointment into hope!

She must win Zhang Buran back!

No longer crying, Wen Chuhan stood up.

She would rise again!

Even if it meant chasing her husband to the crematorium, she would not be afraid!

Clenching her fists, Wen Chuhan’s tear-swollen eyes were filled with determination.

“Mom, Churou, you two must help me! I’m going to win Zhang Buran back!”

Wen Tianqing and Wen Chengxin, the two grown men, were puzzled.

Just now she was crying her heart out, why did she suddenly become so upbeat?

Sigh, women’s minds are unfathomable.

However, the Wen family had managed to somehow survive this ordeal.

……

In the crowded hospital, Xia Yun ran into Shi Chongtian again.

Both were filled with worry; they were both incredibly busy this night.

As Earth Level Daoists, they carried heavy burdens.

Earth Level Daoists are second only to Heavenly Level Daoists.

Heavenly Level Daoists are legendary existences, rarely seen.

But there aren’t many Earth Level Daoists in the Daoist Alliance.

Deng Ning was injured and recovering, so there was one less Earth Level Daoist.

The Poison Cicada Squad’s actions, the Wang Family’s turmoil, and the appearance of Qiang Liu… a series of troubles seemed to have erupted all at once.

Xia Yun and Shi Chongtian managed to handle most of the matters before finding time to get together.

“How did things go on your end?” Xia Yun lit a cigarette and asked.

Shi Chongtian said, “Most of the cursed people have been taken care of, and most of them are accepting it; only a few are emotionally agitated.”

“But they’ve all been successfully persuaded. We still need to quickly find a way to deal with the curse.”

“The higher-ups are already holding a meeting to discuss this. This curse is unprecedented, and using old methods probably won’t work,” Xia Yun said with a gloomy expression.

“Sigh, troublesome.”

“The higher-ups are planning to use a localized earthquake to cover up this matter.”

“And those cursed people, too many people know the truth, we’re afraid we can’t stop their mouths.”

“Anyway, after removing the curse, these people’s memories will be erased.”

“By the way, what about the few members of the Poison Cicada Squad who were captured? What’s the higher-ups’ attitude towards them?” Xia Yun finished her cigarette and asked.

Shi Chongtian shook his head, “The traitor from our Shi Family had his limbs broken and hasn’t woken up yet. Xiang Feng and Neige Sui have been imprisoned in Tiangang Prison and are being interrogated.”

“It is said that Neige Sui seems to have been scared by that kid Zhang Buran and confessed everything he could.”

“Considering Zhang Buran’s character, it’s quite surprising that he left some alive. It seems his temper… has actually improved.” Xia Yun smiled.

“Who says it isn’t? Zhang Buran’s temper isn’t as impulsive as it was three years ago. It seems his three years of disappearance were spent cultivating his mind.”

Shi Chongtian didn’t know the real reason why Zhang Buran left three years ago; he assumed it was to retreat and cultivate during those three years.

Xia Yun laughed, “Hehe… he is indeed very good at cultivating his mind.”

He cultivated well, into a simp…

“To tell the truth, that kid Zhang Buran was still very naive at the Daoist Arts Academy. If A’Jie hadn’t died, Zhang Buran might not have matured so quickly.”

“Who says it isn’t?”

Xia Yun seemed to recall something, her thoughts wandering.

At this time, Su Zili finished her work and came over.

“How are Meng Changyong and the others? Nothing serious, right?” Xia Yun asked.

“Basically, nothing serious. Li Yuanlu is recovering, Anlan, Ningxue, and Luo Fang have all woken up and are fine, except…”

“Meng Changyong was taken away by the people from the Daoist Arts Academy, supposedly for questioning.”

“Meng Changyong was taken away, why?” Shi Chongtian was puzzled.

Su Zili sighed and said, “Meng Changyong was too reckless. Using High-Level Magic caused a loss of control, almost resulting in casualties.”

“I wanted to cover for him, but when the Daoist Alliance inspected the ruins of the Wang Family, they discovered a large number of traces burned by the Black Gold Flame… and after questioning Meng Changyong, he spilled the beans.”
