After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 990

Upon seeing her, a look of joy flashed in her eyes, and she ran over with her cup in hand, exclaiming, "Auntie!"

An Jiuxi's lips unconsciously curled into a smile as she patted Shi Ruan's head.

"You did see your aunt."

The voice of her elder brother, Shi Xiuyuan, came from behind her. An Jiuxi smiled and turned her head, about to say something.

Suddenly his expression changed!

"Big brother!"

She cried out in alarm and quickly reached out to catch the back of the man's head as he fell backward.

The people who were still upstairs quickly came downstairs after hearing the shout.

An Jiuxi was holding Shi Xiuyuan's pulse when she realized something and suddenly ripped open his clothes. She saw a spiral-shaped mark on his chest spreading outwards like branches.

Soon, those black lines, like branches, extended towards the limbs.

Shi Xiuyuan's spiritual energy is gradually leaking out. At this rate, he will become a useless person without spiritual energy in less than half a month!

"How is this going!"

An Jiuxi's eyes were bloodshot as she tried to use her spiritual energy to stabilize the spiritual energy leaking from Shi Xiuyuan's body.

No matter what method she used, her spiritual energy still couldn't be stopped from leaking out.

There is absolutely no sign of it stopping!

Grandpa Shi hurried over, gathered spiritual energy in his fingers, and tapped Shi Xiuyuan's body a few times before he could barely stop the leakage of spiritual energy.

Su Zhe also walked over at this moment. He placed his hand on Shi Xiuyuan's chest and skillfully used his spiritual energy to try to suppress the power of the curse again, but this time it was of no use!

"The curse has come ahead of schedule, probably because it sensed Ruan Ruan's presence... Sister An, you need to prepare to break the curse within three days."

Jin Yize was startled, "At this time?"

They all knew that An Jiuxi's body would be extremely weak during the days when the curse was broken.

Even circulating spiritual energy is a problem!

Now that An Jiuxi's spiritual energy suppression is gone, those lurking in the shadows will surely be eager to make their move.

They were more worried that they wouldn't be able to protect her!

"The curse must be broken within this week, otherwise the curse within the Shi family will gradually take effect within a month, until they die without a complete corpse!" Su Zhe's expression was serious, as he really had no other choice.

"The saplings have grown well. As for protection... Sister An, please don't leave the Shi family during that time. We'll take turns guarding them, and there shouldn't be any problems."

Looking at Shi Xiuyuan's pale face, Wang Qinghuan felt a complex mix of emotions.

Seeing his wife's emotions, Shi Wenfu stepped forward, took her hand, and indicated that he did not blame her for the incident.

After all, none of them could have imagined that the curse was so powerful that it could detect Shi Ruan's presence.

"Alright, then you guys prepare your things. I'll go to the Special Administration Bureau with Jin Yize to give some instructions, and we'll activate the magic array as soon as we get back."

Since deciding to break the curse, they had prepared everything they needed.

Now that the saplings have grown well, Shi Xiuyuan has fallen into a coma again.

Even if An Jiuxi were to continue waiting, she wouldn't be willing!

Breaking the curse is naturally the sooner the better!

"Alright." Old Master Shi agreed, and then used his spiritual energy to lift Shi Xiuyuan up and take him to the back garden.

Once the formation is completed, the person is placed inside.

"Fourth brother, go and tell the others to come back immediately!"

Everyone must be present to break the curse, otherwise all efforts will be in vain!
