Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

"Let's break the curse; the facts will prove the truth!"

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, a silver light immediately appeared on Shen Wan'er's hand.

"Actually, removing the curse isn't that difficult. One method is to use energy to kill it directly within the body, and the other is to use energy to expel it."

"Gu worms are actually more perceptive than humans and are more afraid of death."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on the woman's abdomen. The next moment, a silver light surged into the woman's body, spreading rapidly upwards from her abdomen, and a strange scene soon unfolded.

The woman, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her mouth.

A pinkish-white insect, about half a finger's length, crawled out.

Its body was covered in slime, making it look like a slippery loach and quite disgusting.

Everyone present witnessed this scene and frowned deeply.

"What disgusting bugs!"

"This is absolutely disgusting; I probably won't need to eat for days!"

When the Jiang father and son saw the Gu worm, perhaps recalling intimate memories with women, their faces turned pale and they began to vomit on the spot.

"This Gu worm is called the Flower Snake. It is lustful and likes to live in cold, damp swamps. It usually lives in groups and is the best material for love Gu."

After Shen Wan'er finished explaining, she watched as the flower snake twisted its body and quickly crawled to the ground, then she stepped on it.

"Zi"

A stream of black and red viscous liquid burst out from the sole of the shoe.

Shen Wan'er rubbed against it in disgust, while the flower snake had become a blurry mess, dead beyond any doubt.

It's disgusting to open the door to disgusting things. It's disgusting to the extreme. There's not a single normal thing in this world of extreme nightmares.

Qin Huaiyu frowned. "Is everything alright now?"

"It's alright, judging from his breathing, he should wake up soon."

As Shen Wan'er was speaking, the woman suddenly coughed twice.

Then, her eyes slowly opened. She subconsciously wiped the saliva from her mouth with her clothes, and then looked around in fear and confusion as if she had just woken up.

"Where is this? Who are you?"

Everyone present was stunned.

"What's going on? You don't recognize me anymore?"

The Jiang father and son looked on in astonishment. For some reason, when they looked at the woman this time, they suddenly found that they no longer had the same fervent and excited feeling as before. They even thought the woman looked very ordinary.

That's it, what a wonderful woman!

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

Even so, they already knew in their hearts that the other party had indeed been bewitched, that they had been charmed, and that their sincere feelings had been completely ruined.

"Father, my brother died unjustly!"

"Tao'er!"

Of course, no one will sympathize with them. It's all their own fault. Personal feelings overshadowed family ties. It's just that the two of them were despicable.

If only I had known then what I know now.

Qin Huaiyu glanced at the two of them, then looked at the bewildered woman.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. This is Pingxing Town. We won't hurt you."

Looking into that sincere gaze, the woman's fear eased somewhat.

"What is your name, young lady, and where do you live?" Qin Huaiyu asked softly.

"My name is Xia He, and I am from Qinghe Village," the woman said timidly.

Qinghe Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Pingxing Town. It is located in the south and is only half a day's journey away.

"Are there any relatives in the family?"

"Yes, my parents are alive and well."

"Does Miss Xiahe still remember how she got here?"

Qin Huaiyu asked tentatively, without mentioning the current situation. After all, having one woman with three husbands was difficult for an ordinary girl to accept, and what if she couldn't accept it...?

Xia He frowned, pondered for a moment, and said:

"I don't know either. I only remember going to Yinling Temple to worship Buddha with the sisters from the town. A monk invited me to the backyard, and after drinking a cup of tea, I felt dizzy. When I woke up, I was here."

"Hidden Spirit Temple, are you sure?"

The woman nodded affirmatively.

Qin Huaiyu had known this was the case all along. The reason he let the woman speak was because his own words were merely a judgment and would inevitably be met with skepticism. Now that the person involved had spoken, they had no choice but to believe him.

As it turned out, his decision was correct, and the group became restless upon hearing the definite answer.

"According to the woman, the monks at Yinling Temple were the ones who cast the curse."

"It must be them. Think about it, Jiang Yan went to make a wish on the first day, and she appeared on the second day, even at the door. If you think about it carefully, it was all arranged."

"If, as you say, those who go to Yinling Temple to pray for marriage and have their prayers answered, wouldn't that mean...?"

"Damn it, it seems like we've been scammed!"

..............

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Jiang father and son were filled with suppressed anger.

Even the slowest of them understood.

The claim that it's magically effective is all a scam using poison. I wasted so much money giving incense to fulfill my vow.

It's truly a case of feeding a dog with pure sincerity.

Those bald monks deserve to die.

Feng Yunming also realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly spoke up:

"My dear nephew........."

But Qin Huaiyu waved his hand to stop him halfway through his sentence.

"Uncle Feng, send someone to take Miss Xia back first."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunming waved his hand and then ordered two of his men to take the man out of the Jiang residence.

"I never imagined Hidden Spirit Temple would be so despicable, resorting to such a despicable method to grant a marriage wish!"

Shen Wan'er's beautiful face flushed slightly with anger.

"Now that we have concrete evidence, shouldn't we expose them?"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head. "No rush, the current number of people isn't enough!"

Feng Yunming, who was standing nearby, noticed the two talking quietly and moved closer.

"Nephew, did you already know about the Hidden Spirit Temple's shady dealings?"

"No, it was just a coincidence!"

To be honest, Qin Huaiyu had indeed come to solve this case with the intention of seeking benefits and cooperation, but who would have thought that there would be this unexpected discovery?

"I never expected that Yinling Temple would use the name of Buddhism to fool the townspeople and turn good into evil. It's truly disappointing!" Feng Yunming said with great distress.

Damn, keep acting, keep acting! It's such a waste of their talents if they don't become actors.

Qin Huaiyu knew that the happiest person right now was the town mayor in front of him. Yinling Temple had been putting pressure on him recently and was being worshipped as a god by the town's residents.

He was practically becoming a figurehead, and his reputation was plummeting. Now that the truth has been revealed, how could he not be happy?

"Uncle Feng, just laugh if you want to. We're all family, no need to pretend!"

"...We always have to put on a show."

Feng Yunming smiled awkwardly. This brat has a really sharp tongue. Can't he save face for his elders?

Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him.

Shen Wan'er pouted, "That's all you know how to do."

"Hey, give your uncle some face, he's my subordinate here!"

"Oh, no way!"

As Qin Huaiyu spoke, he made a gesture as if to turn around and leave.

"Hey, no, no, you're just kidding!"

Feng Yunming quickly stopped him and stepped forward to pull Qin Huaiyu back.

"Isn't it okay that I was wrong? Tell me, what are your plans for the future? We can't let those monks run wild."

A group of people nearby smirked at the sight.

"Alright, seeing your sincerity, I forgive you!"

After making the joke, Qin Huaiyu thought for a moment and said to the two of them:

"This one person alone is not enough to convince the town's residents."

"Uncle Jiang, Wan'er, you two find those people in town who have sought marriage through the Hidden Spirit Temple, remove the curse from their bodies, and make them realize they've been deceived. This will also help us spread the word."

Public opinion is a powerful tool; how can we not make good use of it?
