The King of Curses

Chapter 280 Heart pounding

It all happened suddenly, the decision was made suddenly, and in the end it seemed like the dust had settled suddenly, as if it happened in a dream.

After Song Yutang left, Cen Dongsheng initially walked home with a relaxed mood, but the closer he got to home, the more his heart began to sink, as if a huge rock was floating above his chest.

Even though I hadn't seen anyone yet, I still felt an inexplicable pressure.

And, before that...

He still has some regrets.

"What on earth was I saying at the time? How could I respond to a confession like that?"

Cen Dongsheng held his forehead, his old face was hot.

"It's really weird to directly tell a girl 'Be my lover'. You should at least say 'I like you' first..."

Although they are both scumbags in essence, the latter can at least be considered sweet-talking. If he is really good at sweet talk, maybe he can temporarily dispel the grievances and unhappiness in people's hearts.

He originally thought that social skills were enough as long as they were sufficient, but now it seems that he is still far from it. Just handling the interpersonal relationships around him makes him dizzy.

Fortunately, Yutang is also a girl with a strange personality, so she was able to accept it readily.

How ridiculous.

But the world of the Curse Master is so absurd. In his previous life, he had no desire to experience it, and had no interest in bullying ordinary people. He only heard about it from others. In this life, some things have actually become different from the beginning...

……

An Zhizhen and Yi Qingyan were both at home at this time.

Cen Dongsheng stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the door.

He didn't push the door open and get out immediately. Instead, he put his hands on the steering wheel and fell into deep thought.

Because he is about to meet the two real masters, the man can't help feeling guilty.

Although he boasted in front of Song Yutang that he would take the responsibility...

But where to start?

As for Sister Qingyan, Cen Dongsheng no longer dared to think about it, so he had to start with those who dared to think about it.

"From that time on, I began to think that you have the charm to attract rare talents, so as long as the person you like is of that value, I can turn a blind eye."

During the trip to the ghost market, the elder sister had met him in private. This was what she said at the time, and he remembered it very clearly.

Every word, even the dim light in the room, the half-smile on the woman's face...

Maybe it was because he was very surprised at the time, and he was eager to do something.

Can this sentence be understood as that she would allow herself to find another woman...?
This thought occurred to him at that time.

It was just a fleeting thought at that time. It was not until Song Yutang confessed to him that he began to really consider it.

There's nothing I can do about it, that's how men's brains work. After all this talk, this is the only thing I remember.

Cen Dongsheng asked himself, facing Song Yutang's confession, he was able to make a decision so quickly, in fact, it was because of this sentence, otherwise he would have hesitated for a few more days.

It is hard to say about Song Yutang who has not obtained the Kunwu Sword, but now she can probably meet the standards no matter how harsh An Zhizhen’s conditions are.

However, saying this directly would sound like shirking responsibility, and even if my elder sister has a good temper, she would be angry.

Moreover, even if she really meant that, she just mentioned it some time ago, and then she couldn't wait to do it. It was really a bit of a scumbag, and it seemed that she had no ability to control her desires at all.

"..."

Cen Dongsheng tapped his fingers on the steering wheel twice, his mind slightly depressed.

It's time to leave.

Although he hadn't figured out how to start the conversation, this was too embarrassing. But...

A real man should take responsibility for his actions. He can’t just stay in the car all the time and not even dare to go home.

He pushed the door open and prepared to get out of the car.

Just then, the cell phone in my pocket rang.

After hesitating for a moment, Cen Dongsheng sat back down silently.

……

Without even opening his phone, he had already guessed who the other person was.

"Teacher Cen."

Jiang Yunmei's faint voice sounded from the other side of the radio wave.

"Well, it's me."

Cen Dongsheng pretended to be calm.

"Of course I know it was you, I called!"

The other party was amused and her voice subconsciously rose. But soon, the girl's mood turned into depression and resentment.

"Teacher Cen, Teacher Cen, you are so unkind."

"where?"

"I just heard about Yutang's confession to you, and that you two are already together."

"I just made up my mind today, so I can't tell you in advance." Cen Dongsheng asked back, "But I see you don't seem that surprised?"

"Because I already knew that my junior schoolmate liked you. She mentioned this to me first, and hesitated for almost a month before confessing to you."

"So you've been hiding this from me."

"How can you say such a thing?"

The other party sighed softly.

"Originally, I shouldn't get involved in relationship issues. Even if we're friends, it's best for me to just watch quietly. But the problem is, we're not just friends, we're teammates..."

"Don't worry, the relationship between our team will become more and more harmonious."

"Yeah, you two are having a great time."

The girl's voice sounded a little gritted.

"——What about me?"

Cen Dongsheng laughed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"As for you, just do it the same as before."

"How can this be the same? If I'm caught between you two, wouldn't I be a light bulb?"

Then there was a series of complaints from me, such as "the disadvantages of office romance" and so on.

Cen Dongsheng felt that Senior Sister Jiang's nagging reaction was familiar. She behaved like this at the ghost market some time ago.

At that time, Song Yutang's emotional state was obviously not right. Apart from the problem of strength, her apprentice's own emotions changed, which should have happened at the same time. Yun Mei probably knew it at that time... No wonder she always felt pressured.

In any case, his mood became much brighter after Senior Sister Jiang interrupted him.

"Senior, let's meet in two days."

He said.

"Huh? What do you mean? No! I-I'm not ready yet...I'm not like her!"

Her voice suddenly rose in volume.

"?"

Cen Dongsheng was puzzled.

"What preparations do I need to make to meet you?"

The other side fell silent, and after a while, he said:

"I'm sorry, I...I misunderstood you. If you want to see me, just come to my house and see me."

*
After making the call, Cen Dongsheng parked the car and opened the door.

Sister Qingyan stayed in her bedroom as usual, which made him feel a little relieved.

As for Sister Zhizhen, she was either working in the study or reading on the sofa... As he thought about it, he changed into slippers and was surprised to find that Sister Zhizhen was busy packing her luggage.

"Going out to work? That's not right..." Cen Dongsheng thought.

Given my elder sister's personality, when would she be willing to waste time on such trivial matters?
She is the leader of the Super Working Committee and has no worries when traveling because there are many people willing to consider things for her. If there are any needs that are inconvenient to disclose to the outside world, they are usually taken care of by a private secretary.

and so--

Cen Dongsheng watched her packing clothes and books and stuffing them into her luggage bag, and suddenly he had a bad feeling.

Although this scene looks quite heartwarming, it is very abnormal.

The woman heard footsteps behind her. She knew who it was, but she didn't turn around.

"Dongsheng, you are here."

The man slowly walked behind her, looking at her soft long hair as black as the night and her graceful back. If it were a normal time, he would have opened his arms and hugged her, but at this moment, Cen Dongsheng hesitated and did not move.

Because he had noticed a subtle difference in the atmosphere.

"what happened?"

"You're so nice to ask me."

An Zhizhen finally turned her head. She still had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her pupils.

"Didn't you just get married to your lover?"

Cen Dongsheng was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

He began to doubt whether the other party was pretending. He never thought that one day his elder sister would say such a thing -

But he knew very well that he had not recognized the wrong person. If he could even make a mistake in identifying the person on the bed, he would have better not be a spell-caster.

Also, although An Zhizhen's personality was unpredictable, he could still tell whether she was joking or not after spending a year together and now having the closest relationship with her...

"I'm going to leave this place."

What his elder sister said next surprised him even more.

As for how An Zhizhen discovered the affair between him and Song Yutang, it was the least important one in a series of surprises and confusions: if she really wanted to find out the truth, no one could hide it from her.

"W-what?"

An Zhizhen didn't answer. She closed the suitcase, grabbed the handle, and walked towards the door without hesitation.

Cen Dongsheng's mind was still in a very confused stage, but he subconsciously chose to follow closely until they reached the door, where they both stopped at the same time.

An Zhizhen grabbed the door handle, and Cen Dongsheng's palm covered her soft hand to prevent her from twisting.

The eyes of the man and the woman met at close range.

Those dark pupils were bottomless, without a trace of emotion, and almost made his heart stop:

At a certain moment, Cen Dongsheng really thought that the situation had become irreversible.

"Now do you know what to worry about?"

She put her hands down and suddenly laughed.

"If you hug my thighs right now, crying and shouting and not letting me go, maybe I'll consider it, okay?"

“…I don’t mind doing that.”

The corners of Cen Dongsheng's mouth twitched slightly.

“But someone will definitely care.”

It's okay to act coquettishly to your elder sister occasionally, but if your younger sister is watching you covetously, then that would be a big problem.

"So, what are you going to do next? We are not the protagonists in a romance drama. Time is limited and opportunities are rare. You have to think carefully before answering."

Cen Dongsheng thought about it and gave his response:
"Where are you going? I'm coming with you."

……

The man packed his luggage very quickly. In less than ten minutes, he had stuffed all his clothes and daily necessities into the suitcase and was ready to leave.

Two suitcases are placed side by side in front of the door. The busy man and woman look like a couple preparing to go on a long trip, full of life.

Cen Dongsheng's heart was still pounding. He clearly felt the weight of his elder sister in his heart and realized that he might never be able to escape from her.

Of course before leaving, he did not forget to go to the second floor and knock on his sister's bedroom door.

"Brother? So you're back..."

She popped her head out of the room.

"It's so late, is something wrong?"

The little girl blinked, and after seeing the man's face, she seemed to have misunderstood something. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she raised her moist eyes to look at him.

"Today... Brother, do you want to spend the night with me?"

The beautiful girl, who was pure yet sexy, made Cen Dongsheng's heart move.

But he quickly calmed down. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but today he could only choose to appease his elder sister first.

"No, I have to go out for something."

"Oh... where are you going?"

"Well..."

In fact, he doesn't know yet.

"So, you're going out with that woman again, right?"

Yi Qingyan curled her lips.

She had opinions, but surprisingly she wasn't too angry.

Maybe it’s because I’m used to it, or maybe it’s the inspiration from the trip to the ghost market—

She would no longer feel lonely because of the separation. After all, even if they were thousands of miles apart, they could meet with just a thought.

even……

Yi Qingyan thought quietly.

Although the previous agreement was that she could only come when her brother was looking for her; but... my brother would not mind if I broke the agreement occasionally, right?
It would be best if I could do it one day when they are "doing something bad" -

The high school girl was feeling frustrated because she couldn't reach the finish line due to her age, and she planned to vent her frustration.

If my brother is really angry, I should just let him punish me.

……

Cen Dongsheng naturally had no idea about the ideas going around in his sister's mind. He felt relieved when he saw that his sister Qingyan was becoming more and more obedient.

The man felt relieved. Although the agreement between him and his sister had changed due to the change in the nature of their relationship, he still fulfilled "most of it" in the end.

However, once he confessed that he wanted to find Song Yutang as his lover, whether she could still behave so well was another matter.

*
An Zhizhen stood by the door, waiting quietly. Her attitude seemed relaxed.

It was not until the two of them pulled their luggage out of the house and Cen Dongsheng locked the door that he asked:
"Where are we going next?"

"Have you forgotten? We talked about... 'The Method of Returning the Soul to Heaven and Earth' before."

"what……"

Cen Dongsheng suddenly realized.

The leader of the small sect where the Dragon Slayer and Lame Old Seven once belonged obtained a mysterious secret technique from somewhere and has a very impressive background.

"Since it might be related to the evil god, it's better not to let others know for the time being."

"That sister just now..."

Cen Dongsheng sighed.

"Is it just to scare people?"

"Who knows. Maybe he's really dissatisfied with you and has reached the limit of his tolerance for your fickleness..."

An Zhizhen smiled slightly.

"No matter what, you have to behave well."
