Chapter 241: Chapter 243: Face Loss Curse

"What witchcraft?"

Su Luoluo was waiting for Xi Yi to continue, but he suddenly stopped.

Hearing footsteps, she realized Si Cheng was back.

She had been overwhelmed with other matters recently. She’d wanted to find out where he was, but she had no idea where he’d gone and could only wait for him at home.

Counting carefully, it had already been seven days since he left.

A happy expression appeared on her face as she looked at Si Cheng. "You’re back."

Hearing this, Si Cheng pulled his gaze away from Xi Yi’s face, looked at Su Luoluo, and nodded. "Yes."

He had originally planned to be back in two days, but he was delayed and it took a full seven days to get to the bottom of that matter.

He thought he’d returned quickly enough, but he was still a step too late.

The Leader had still formed a Contract Totem with Xi Yi.

He remembered she had clearly been suspicious of Xi Yi before. ’What happened?’ he wondered. ’Why did she suddenly form a Contract Totem with him?’

Fu Feng and Xiao Ye also found it a bit strange when they saw Si Cheng arrive.

Although it was normal for him, as the tribe’s Priest, to come and check on Luoluo after she gave birth, the man hadn’t been seen in a long time.

Moreover, his face was haggard, as if he had been traveling day and night.

’He’s back?’

’Does that mean Luoluo sent him out?’

Mo Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and he was just about to speak.

"Congratulations, Leader. I didn’t expect you to have given birth to your little ones. I didn’t have time to prepare a gift, but I’ll make it up to you next time."

Su Luoluo had been afraid he would mention her inquiries about her adoptive mother right then and there. But seeing that he avoided the topic and was instead tactfully congratulating her, her anxious heart calmed considerably.

’Si Cheng really is someone who understands me without me having to say a word.’

She smiled and said, "It’s alright. You just got back, so it’s normal that you didn’t know."

"Have you eaten?"

Seeing that Su Luoluo looked a little weak, Si Cheng thought it wasn’t a good time to bring up that matter. He shook his head. "Not yet."

Hearing this, Su Luoluo looked at Cai Xia. "Could you please bring him some food?"

Childbirth is physically demanding, so Cai Xia had prepared plenty of fish soup over the past few days, ready to help Su Luoluo regain her strength. However, it hadn’t been needed.

Now, hearing that Si Cheng hadn’t eaten, she didn’t hesitate and immediately turned to leave.

Su Luoluo saw Si Cheng’s exhausted face and how he looked like he hadn’t rested well. She was just about to tell him to go rest.

But then his gaze darkened slightly as he looked at Xi Yi and asked, "I thought I just heard something about witchcraft. Did someone fall under a witchcraft spell?"

As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes returned to Xi Yi.

Xi Yi had been about to speak on this very matter, but with an outsider like Si Cheng present, his expression became a little guarded, and he stopped and looked to Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo was still waiting to hear Xi Yi explain the reason for her former ugliness.

’Could it be some kind of witchcraft?’

’Was the original owner of this body actually beautiful all along?’

Just then, his dark eyes suddenly turned to her. Following his gaze, she realized he was being cautious because of Si Cheng.

She waved her hand. "It’s fine. Si Cheng is one of us. It doesn’t matter if he hears."

’It’s just some witchcraft, isn’t it?’

’What’s there to hide? Besides, he’s a Priest. He might even know what’s going on.’

Xi Yi’s expression faltered slightly at her words. He hadn’t expected Su Luoluo to trust Si Cheng so much.

Xiao Ye also frowned slightly when he heard this. ’Is Luoluo being too trusting of Si Cheng?’

Seeing Su Luoluo still looking at him, Xi Yi picked up where he had been interrupted. "The red mole at the corner of Luoluo’s eye looks like a mark left behind after the Face Loss Curse is broken."

"Face Loss Curse? What’s that?" Su Luoluo asked, completely bewildered.

She wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand; Su Yang and Su Zhao also looked shocked.

Su Zhao frowned even deeper and asked, "She has no enemies. Who would place a curse on her?"

Su Yang’s expression also grew solemn.

All these years, he had always thought that was just how Su Luoluo looked. After all, from a distance, she bore some resemblance to him. He never imagined someone had actually cursed her.

He remembered that she was already very ugly when he brought her to the Wolf Clan Tribe.

’So someone had already cursed her before that?’

Thinking of this, Su Yang looked at Su Luoluo. "Did you come into contact with anyone before you returned to the Wolf Clan?"

’Before returning to the Wolf Clan?’

Those were distant memories of the original owner. Su Luoluo searched her mind for a long time but couldn’t find any recollection of it.

She shook her head. "It was too long ago. I don’t remember."

Su Yang’s brow furrowed at her words. ’What was the caster thinking? Why wouldn’t they leave her alone?’

’It seems I’ll have to pay her adoptive mother a visit.’

Back then, when she went out with Lan Ya, Su Luoluo was unfortunately captured by enemies, and all contact was lost.

When he took Su Luoluo back from the Black Bear female, she was well cared for in every aspect, aside from being ugly. He had always felt that even though she’d been lost, her life had been decent enough.

’I never expected...’

"The Face Loss Curse is a form of witchcraft from my Black Bear Clan, used to curse someone’s appearance," Xi Yi explained. "It’s rarely used. If I hadn’t seen the faint red mole at the corner of Luoluo’s eye today, I wouldn’t have noticed it at all."

"After being afflicted by the Face Loss Curse, the victim’s appearance deteriorates rapidly. Unless a way to break the curse is found, they might stay that way for the rest of their life."

"But I didn’t do anything, and I still became beautiful again," Su Luoluo said, confused.

"The appearance of that red mole means the spell inside your body was devoured by something," Xi Yi continued.

"Devoured?"

Su Luoluo wanted to cultivate, but she hadn’t even started. Where would she get the energy to devour a curse?

Luan Ting analyzed from the side, "Luoluo hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary. The only recent event was giving birth to the little ones. Could it be that the cubs devoured it while they were inside her?"

Xi Yi nodded, his dark pupils glinting with a mysterious light. "I’m guessing that’s the reason."

Xiao Ye also chimed in, "I just looked at the Snake Eggs. They all have winged horns on their heads and were born at Level 1 Beast Rank."

Luan Ting nodded as well. "The three wolf cubs were also born at Level 1 Beast Rank. In that case, it’s possible they’re the ones who devoured Luoluo’s curse."

"My grandbabies are that amazing?" Su Yang said cheerfully upon hearing this.

You have to understand, most cubs are born without any Beast Rank. To raise their rank, they have to break through on their own. But his grandbabies were born at Level 1 Beast Rank. It was impossible for Su Yang not to be ecstatic.

’My judgment is still the best.’

’I knew from the start that these Beastmen had good potential. With my daughter forming Contract Totems with them, I was sure the grandchildren they produced wouldn’t be ordinary.’

He had thought they wouldn’t be bad, but he never expected them to be so gifted right from birth.

’I have to hold a bonfire party to celebrate this good news.’

Su Luoluo was also stunned by this news, not expecting the little ones she gave birth to to be so powerful. 𝖿𝖗ⅇℴ𝑚

Born at Level 1 Beast Rank... Back then, she had to train diligently for a long time just to get her foot in the door with her Level 0 superpower. But her cubs... they didn’t have to do anything and were already at the next level.

’You really can’t compete with natural talent.’
