James walked over to virtual-novel.net and glanced at virtual-novel.net pale face. Immediately, virtual-novel.net took out the Imperial Jade Seal and absorbed the curse in virtual-novel.net body, transferring them to his own.
After Quincy’s curse disappeared, virtual-novel.net skin regained its radiance and virtual-novel.net complexion returned to normal, once again becoming a stunningly beautiful woman.
Over the years, virtual-novel.net had become even more gorgeous and beautiful.
“James, Thea, you’re back…” Quincy sat on the bed, unable to believe virtual-novel.net eyes. She could not believe that James had returned.
Many years had passed, and there had been no news of him. Now, all of a sudden, virtual-novel.net was in front of her.
“Aunt Quincy, I’m Winnie,” Winnie said with a smile.
“W-Winnie…” Quincy froze as virtual-novel.net fixed virtual-novel.net gaze on Winnie.
Then, virtual-novel.net sighed, saying, “I remember you were still a young girl when you left. In the blink of an eye, you have already become a grown-up. You look so much like your mother, even I mistook you for her.”
Blergh!
After absorbing Quincy’s curse, James suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground before passing out.
“Dad!”
“James!”
The two panicked.
Quincy hurriedly stood up and moved the unconscious James onto the bed before inspecting his injuries. However, no matter how long virtual-novel.net inspected, virtual-novel.net could not find out what was wrong with him.
“W-Winnie, what’s wrong with James?” Quincy asked, worried.
Wearing a grim expression, Winnie said, “The Third Calamity has swept across the globe, affecting all humans on Earth. Dad absorbed the curse for us and contained it in his own body. Just now, virtual-novel.net helped you absorb the curse as well. Perhaps his body couldn’t bear it anymore, which is why virtual-novel.net fell unconscious.”
“What?” Quincy exclaimed. Then, virtual-novel.net tried sensing virtual-novel.net body and realized that virtual-novel.net had indeed been cured.
“H-He lost consciousness after helping me absorb the curse?” She stood by the side, dumbfounded.
Then, virtual-novel.net burst into tears, “H-How silly of you!”
Cough!
At that moment, James who was lying on the bed coughed a few times.
“A-Are you alright, James?” Quincy regained virtual-novel.net senses and hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe away the blood James spurted out.
James’ face was pale as virtual-novel.net said feebly, “I-I’m fine, I won’t be dying any time soon… The curse inside my body is already terrifying enough… Your curse changes nothing.”
Then, virtual-novel.net took out the Imperial Jade Seal and began suppressing the curse.
Thirty minutes later, James’ complexion returned to normal.
“How do you feel, Dad?” Winnie asked.
James stored the Imperial Jade Seal away and said, “I’m fine. The curse’s power increased all of a sudden, and my body couldn’t bear it, causing me to faint.”
Winnie furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and said, “If you can’t even bear an additional curse, how are you supposed to bear the curse of all of mankind?”
James’ expression was solemn.
Indeed, if virtual-novel.net could not even bear the curse of an additional person, how was virtual-novel.net supposed to bear the curse of all humans?
He was filled with consternation. Then, virtual-novel.net asked, “Where’s Thea, Quincy?”
“Th-Thea?” Quincy froze before answering, “I thought virtual-novel.net went searching for you. Did you two not meet each other?”
“No…” Stunned, James asked, “What’s going on? Why would Thea go looking for me?”
