The King of Curses

Chapter 95 "I want to kiss your lips."

Was it because my gaze was too intense and attracted attention?
Come to think of it, how would Sister Zhizhen see me when I'm surrounded by girls?
No, Sister Zhizhen is so generous, she probably won’t care... I don’t think so.

Before the woman woke up, Cen Dongsheng began to consider whether he should close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

"..."

As it turned out, she didn't wake up, but seemed to have just yawned.

However, that face that tempted people to commit crimes was a little closer than before.

At the same time, the force from Cen Dongsheng's other arm became stronger. He turned his head and saw that Sister Qingyan's face was also closer.

Being used as a pillow by two Cinderellas, one big and one small, Cen Dongsheng, who was unable to move, looked out of the tent in silence for a moment.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains that were not fully drawn, casting colorful golden fragments on the sleeping bag.

He soon realized that he seemed to have thought of "playing both sides" very naturally just now, without any moral guilt at all.

Is this also caused by "Transmutation of Others"?

...If you think about it, you know it's not the case. Cen Dongsheng sighed and said, forget it, let's not put all the blame on the curse.

No matter what kind of spell it is, no matter how its abilities evolve, it ultimately reflects the spellcaster's deepest desires.

This only proves that someone has a weak sense of morality in this regard, which is related to the fact that he comes from a chaotic era and that he has always been alone and lacks experience in close interaction with others.

If the target is an ordinary person, it is not uncommon for some curse masters to have several partners at the same time. After all, the strength of the two is not equal, and the stronger one will naturally occupy more resources; but if the other party is a high-level curse master and still fantasizes about such a thing...if the curse master gets jealous, it is not something that can be solved by pulling hair and fighting.

They are inherently more willful and have more intense emotional fluctuations than ordinary people. Not only will they fight to the death, they may also affect the people around them, causing quite a stir and causing serious damage.

Therefore, some forces have very strict requirements in this regard. For example, the ruling bureau has certain requirements on whether its members are "clean and self-disciplined". Although they will not specifically care how many husbands or wives you have, if your family members cause trouble due to emotional disputes, you will have to accept punishment.
In short, harmonious family relationships in the society of curse-ban masters are an important part of a harmonious society.

This is just the scope of "ordinary spell-binding master".

What if it was a special class? Cen Dongsheng only remembered that two special class spell masters fought over a woman, which resulted in the death of thousands of people and the destruction of half of the city, and directly led to one of them being wanted...

This incident was quite famous, and the related gossip circulated for quite a while that year and was talked about by people with great relish.

As for the emotional disputes related to Zu, he had never heard of it once.

Perhaps it was because Cen Dongsheng’s rank was not high enough and he had no channels to learn the relevant information; but it was more likely because the group of curse masters standing at the top of the world had gradually departed from the category of “human”—

It's not just the body or the soul, but also the thoughts. The emotions and relationships in their eyes are clearly different from those of normal people.

For example, before he was reborn, he knew a rumor: There was a close connection between the "Ghost Mother Society" and the Nether King because its leader, the Nine-Child Ghost Mother, had an ambiguous relationship with the Nether King and the two had given birth to several children.

When Cen Dongsheng didn't know what the so-called "ghost mother" was, he didn't take it seriously. Until that day, when he met King Pingdeng, when he saw with his own eyes the true form of the "Nine-Child Ghost Mother", it turned out to be a giant alien bird that usually lurked in the abyss of bones, with countless mummies hanging on its huge wings...

Cen Dongsheng was really shocked.

He was not doubting how a person and a monster could have a child. Nothing was impossible for the "ancestor". Reproductive isolation would certainly not be a problem for the Netherworld King, who could research a method for humans to use both "True Qi" and "Evil Qi" at the same time and was considered the pinnacle of magic.

But precisely because he can do it, it makes people feel... unreasonable.

One has to admit that there is something special about the King of the Underworld. He is a man so powerful that others feel inferior to him, and he can even take away that honor.

In short, if there is really an emotional dispute involving the "ancestor", the so-called rules and the so-called laws of the world will definitely not work...

Cen Dongsheng gathered his thoughts and stopped daydreaming.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm thinking too far ahead. We haven't even set foot on a boat yet. This is not the time to think about this issue."

He wanted to convince himself; but when he stared at Sister Zhizhen's face, he once again felt like he couldn't look away;
At the same time, a thought emerged in his mind uncontrollably:

How about giving it a try?
Not afraid of being proud, Cen Dongsheng felt that he was really the man in the world who was most likely to achieve the achievement of falling in love with "Zu"...

The future Philosopher King and the future Equality King both have a strong liking for him, and this liking could easily be transformed into a relationship between men and women.

If you ignore this point, it would be a bit too self-deprecating.

The main reason why he didn't go to the other side was because of Qingyan's current age, which really made him feel guilty... After all, he was an adult, and it felt a bit immoral to attack a high school student.

Sister Zhizhen is different. Every man desires to pursue such a charming and mature beauty.

In fact, he had tried to test the waters a long time ago, but Sister Zhizhen's attitude at the time was a little ambiguous, which he couldn't understand; so, Cen Dongsheng at that time had to settle for the second best and chose to stay in the relationship as a family member.

but……

Maybe things will be different now?
At this time, Cen Dongsheng couldn't help but worry about Sister Zhizhen's personality. He couldn't understand what she was thinking and what kind of thoughts were hidden under that smile.

……

When he was feeling distressed, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.

"Dongsheng...?"

Sister Zhizhen was whispering in his ear. This time, she really woke up.

Seeing him turn his head, the woman showed her usual gentle smile on her face.

"You're awake. Are you okay now?"

"Well, it's okay."

Cen Dongsheng said. Thanks to his previous wild thoughts, he has become much calmer now. Even if he is in the arms of a beautiful woman early in the morning, he can remain calm.

"What happened to you? You scared me. My sister Qingyan and I are very worried about you."

"Being obsessed."

"Sure enough. So now the problem has been solved? Will there be any sequelae?"

"No. This time it was mainly because I absorbed the power of the 'outer demon' and I failed to fully grasp the secret of the curse in my body."

He replied.

The "devil" that has not been completely suppressed, and the image of it is a "monkey", which corresponds to the term "monkey heart" in spiritual practice, has a restless side, so it triggered the riot of true Qi.

"But it's different now. It's a blessing in disguise. I have a deeper understanding of the curse in my body, and this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

"That's it, that's great."

An Zhizhen was obviously greatly relieved. She stroked her plump and towering chest with one hand, and gently stroked the side of his cheek with the fingertips of her other hand.

"It's really worrying..."

Her voice was slightly hoarse.

I don’t know if it’s because she just woke up or because she saw Cen Dongsheng recover, but my sister’s attitude is even more intimate and ambiguous than usual.

"…Really? Because of me?"

"Not only you, but also Sister Qingyan... and myself."

"Sister Zhizhen, you yourself...?"

"Yes. After you fainted, Qingyan was extremely worried and even asked me to rescue you from your coma."

Cen Dongsheng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth. He just listened quietly to her continue.

No matter what the situation was at the time, he at least knew the final result: Sister Zhizhen did not agree to this request.

"In fact, I know very well that I shouldn't interfere in your affairs, otherwise it will affect your growth. Besides, you have already mentioned this to me."

"Yes," he said, "I am very grateful to my sister for respecting my wishes."

"But at that time, I almost couldn't help myself...I made you completely mine."

An Zhizhen said dangerous words with a smile.

"Dongsheng, Dongsheng, you affect my mood more than I thought."

"..."

Without waiting for Cen Dongsheng to respond, Sister Zhizhen loosened her arms.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm going to wash my face."

She yawned lazily and stood up. One arm had already loosened, and Cen Dongsheng couldn't help but glance at the other side, where the female high school student was sleeping soundly with her arm around her.

Cen Dongsheng originally thought that maybe she was pretending to sleep... I felt that this thought was a bit unfair to her.

He could suspect that Sister Zhizhen was pretending to sleep, but he shouldn't suspect that Qingyan was pretending to sleep.

Because this child's way of expressing emotions is relatively direct, and he didn't open his eyes, it meant that he was really asleep at this moment.

Before opening the tent, An Zhizhen smiled and said to Cen Dongsheng:

"After we finish washing up, let's go out for a walk. After climbing to the top of the mountain yesterday, I didn't have time to appreciate the scenery here."

"……it is good."

As Cen Dongsheng answered, he carefully pulled his arm out of the girl's arms to avoid waking her up in the process.

*
The two men left the tent one after the other and packed up the camping equipment.

Cen Dongsheng washed his face and stood on the edge of the cliff. He looked at the rising sun and the undulating outlines of the mountains at the end of the sky, shrouded in a faint hazy light. He breathed in the fresh air coming towards him.

Afterwards, they set out on the winding mountain road.

There are already new climbers coming up, and the mountain road that was quiet last night has become lively. There are also small vendors selling roasted corn and steamed buns nearby.

Everything was as if nothing had happened.

But if he and Yi Qingyan had not taken action last night, the mandrill had not been defeated, and the haunted space covering several hectares of land had not been cleared, it would have been big news sooner or later, and the mountain should have been closed by now and no one should be allowed to enter.

"Would you like to take some back for breakfast?"

"Okay."

So, Cen Dongsheng paid and bought a few hot buns.

"what's next?"

"Let's go over there and take a look."

The woman pointed to a mountain road not far away, hidden among lush bushes.

……

Sister Zhizhen seemed to really have the leisure time to do so, and she walked along the mountain roads with him, enjoying the scenery that she had not seen before because of her rush.

Although Cen Dongsheng was a little confused, he still followed obediently.

"Don't worry, we'll just take a walk and go back. Sister Qingyan is still waiting for us, isn't she?"

"……yes."

When he was about to climb to a certain height, An Zhizhen suddenly reached out his hand to him.

"Ok?"

Cen Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously grabbed her and pulled the woman up.

The two stood side by side on the hill. In front of them was an open landscape, overlooking the village and road at the foot of the mountain.

The sky is high and the mountains are dark blue. The azure sky above is endless and stretches to the end of the field of vision.

His hand was still clasped with hers.

In some subtle tacit understanding, no one let go, so they just left it there gently. Cen Dongsheng tentatively moved his fingers, and Sister Zhizhen did not refuse, but obeyed him and moved her fingers at will, and then...

He and An Zhizhen held hands.

Although they had experienced more than one ambiguous moment in their daily lives, this was the first time they had shaken hands in an intimate way like a couple, which seemed to foreshadow the coming of some kind of change.

“It feels… really good.”

He stood on the high hillside, looking at the endless scenery in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh like this.

"Oh? Why?"

"Because I'm with my sister."

"Haha, you can say something like that sometimes."

An Zhizhen laughed, and she grabbed his hand in return.

"So, is this enough for you?"

"……what?"

The man's heartbeat quickened slightly and his mouth felt dry.

"I thought you would be braver after your experience of being possessed by the devil."

She blinked at him, her dark jade pupils shone with a moist luster, like a mirror, reflecting the somewhat bewildered face of the young man.

Some words can just be treated as jokes.

But at this moment, after Cen Dongsheng had just thought about a major life issue in the morning, an inexplicable impulse surged into his heart -

The man's eyes fell on the woman's lips again.

After a moment of silence, he felt that he had the courage and made up his mind.

"Sister Zhizhen."

"Ah."

The oncoming wind brushed across their cheeks. Sister Zhizhen listened to his words with her ear tilted while lifting up her long hair that fell beside her ears. This action was particularly touching.

It is like a painting. The people and the landscapes in the painting are all beautiful scenery.

"..."

"Why did you stop suddenly? You have something to say to me."

"Yes, it is."

I stuttered, how embarrassing. When Cen Dongsheng was thinking this, the impulsive words had already come out of his mouth -

"I want to kiss you."

The air around them suddenly became quiet.

……

...it's over.

He suddenly felt annoyed.

Even though Cen Dongsheng didn't know how to get along with girls, he knew that these words sounded like harassment.

He really thought so in his heart, but this instinctive impulse should be expressed in a more polite and acceptable way...

Although he hasn't figured out what to say yet.

However, Sister Zhizhen's behavior was unusual. She was not angry, nor did she make a few jokes about his behavior as she usually did. Instead, she became unexpectedly serious.

"Where are you kissing?"

she asked.

Cen Dongsheng opened his mouth and looked at Sister Zhizhen's face, which was calm yet inexplicably oppressive, and finally answered according to his own heart.

"…lips."

He said.

"I want to... kiss you on the lips."
