As soon as Chen XiaoHui and Gu Ya heard the fortune teller's words, they became extremely nervous. Gu Ya couldn't even spare time for doubt and hastily asked, "So what should we do now? Can you remove the curse?"
The fortune teller stroked his goatee and put on a show, saying, "I can remove this curse, but..."
"But what? Do you want money? As long as you can remove the curse, any amount of money is fine!" Gu Ya said boldly.
A flicker of delight flashed in the fortune teller's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He put on a mysterious expression, extending his right hand with fingers spread wide.
"50,000 yuan?" Gu Ya asked.
The fortune teller's mouth twitched slightly. He only wanted 5,000 yuan...
Seeing the fortune teller's silence, Gu Ya furrowed her brows and asked, "Is it 500,000 yuan, then?"
The fortune teller's heart leaped with joy, but he also sensed that Gu Ya was displeased. Afraid that she might change her mind, he quickly said, "500,000 yuan, will you agree to it?"
Gu Ya gritted her teeth and declared, "Agreed!"
Before the fortune teller could even rejoice, Gu Ya continued, "If you can really remove the curse, I will give you every penny of the 500,000 yuan. But if you fail..."
Gu Ya's tone suddenly turned fierce, and a menacing expression appeared on her face. "I won't let you off!"
The fortune teller confidently said, "Don't worry, for me, this is a piece of cake."
Saying that, he rummaged through a bag he carried with him and pulled out a small package wrapped in paper. He handed it to Gu Ya and said, "This is the antidote that can remove the curse. Give it to her to take, and I guarantee she'll be cured."
Gu Ya knew that those who put curses on others often possessed the antidote. However, it was almost impossible to find the person who had cursed you to remove it. In general, finding someone to remove a curse required greater skill than the person who had cast it because if the removal was not done carefully, the remover would suffer the backlash of the curse. So, removing a curse was not only troublesome but also risky.
The person in front of them casually produced the antidote. He wasn't the one who had cast the curse; he must have been sent by Huang Dehan!
No wonder this person could find their location and spout nonsense about unclean things in their house. Maybe he was the unclean thing himself!
Did he really think everyone else was a fool?
Gu Ya calmly took the antidote and then handed it to Chen XiaoHui. "Hurry, take it and give it to Li Man."
Chen XiaoHui quickly took the antidote and gave it to Li Man.
Li Man writhed in pain on the bed, her voice hoarse, and bugs kept crawling out of her eyes.
Chen XiaoHui carefully helped Li Man up, her voice filled with a sobbing tone. "Li Man, open your mouth quickly and take this. You'll be fine."
Li Man dazedly opened her mouth and had just swallowed the antidote when she felt a surge in her stomach, as if a mountain was collapsing. "Ugh!"
She leaned over the bed and vomited.
Chen XiaoHui saw what Li Man had vomited and was so frightened that she quickly stepped back.
She saw numerous bugs in the vomit, crawling around vigorously. It was beyond disgusting.
This was the first time Gu Ya had seen such a sight, and she was thoroughly terrified, her face turning pale.
The fortune teller had never seen anything so disgusting before. Acid kept rising in his stomach, but he forcefully suppressed it. He had to maintain a decent appearance and couldn't reveal his true feelings.
A nauseating stench immediately filled the room.
Gu Ya couldn't hold back any longer. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom and vomited.
Chen XiaoHui had already vomited to the point of dizziness, but the worms Li Man vomited this time were even larger than the ones she had vomited initially. They were shiny and oily, making it even more repulsive.
