However, the pain she imagined did not come. Even the wind brought about by spiritual energy dissipated a lot.
Only then did Xia Tong carefully open her eyes and look in front of her. She realized that her spiritual power had stopped only a centimeter away from the tip of her nose.
It was as if when she deliberately closed the distance to scare Gu Man just now.
Almost instantly, Xia Tong was certain that Gu Man was definitely deliberately taking revenge.
However, before she could speak, the spiritual energy in front of her suddenly moved again. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed.
However, the spiritual energy was not directed at her. The moment they were about to touch, the spiritual energy suddenly changed and rushed to the ground.
It could almost be said to have brushed past Xia Tong’s toes.
It took her a long time to react. When she lowered her head again, she realized that the rune under her feet was gradually disintegrating under the infusion of powerful spiritual energy.
Gu Man stood at the side and slowly controlled her spiritual power. She looked at Xia Tong’s expression with satisfaction. Because there were still many doubts in her memory, Xia Tong’s life still had to be kept for the time being. However, it was still possible to scare her and make her not dare to do anything else.
Although the rune had shattered, the curse could not be removed so easily. It depended on Xia Tong’s choice.
The shattering of runes required a huge amount of spiritual power. Clearly, Xia Tong did not have this, but she had already helped Xia Tong resolve it. The rest of the curse would be lifted by Xia Tong. She believed that she would make the right choice.
“You’ve already seen my strength. If the curse continues, do you think you still have a chance of survival?” Gu Man looked at Xia Tong.
Xia Tong swallowed her saliva. Although she was very unconvinced, it seemed to be the case.
“I’ve already helped you resolve the problem of spiritual power. As for the rest, you know what to do, right?” Gu Man continued.
“Okay,” Xia Tong replied reluctantly.
Why were things getting more and more out of control? She had already lived for so many years, but she could not even defeat an 18-year-old girl. It was simply too infuriating.
Gu Man sensed the unconvinced look in Xia Tong’s eyes and walked up to her step by step. As she approached, her body emitted powerful spiritual energy.
“I only kept you because you’re from that era. Recognize your identity and don’t think about anything else.” Gu Man stretched out her hands and placed them on the same shoulders. She exerted a little force with her fingertips and spiritual energy instantly flowed into Xia Tong’s body from her fingertips as if she had found an outlet to vent.
Xia Tong felt as if an ant had gnawed on her entire body. It was itchy and painful.
Her body trembled uncontrollably. It was only at this moment that she understood how big the gap between her and Gu Man was.
“1-1 understand.” Her voice almost spilled out of her throat. She was trembling. Her features were twisted together from the pain.
Gu Man let go and the pain instantly disappeared. Only then did Xia Tong feel as if she had come alive. She panted heavily and did not dare to delay any longer.
She drew something in midair between her fingers. Soon, Gu Man felt as if something was flowing out of her body, and this also meant that the curse had been removed.
She nodded in satisfaction, then took out her phone and handed it to Xia Tong. “Add my contact details. It’ll be easier for me to look for you in the future.”
Xia Tong was still a little stunned when she saw the cell phone that suddenly appeared. Soon, she obediently took out her phone and the two of them added each other’s contact details.
Looking at the contact details in her hand, she held her cell phone tightly and felt a little melancholic.
But she was so indignant. She was clearly here to take revenge for her granddaughter.
Gu Man seemed to be able to tell that Xia Tong was melancholic. She sneered. “I naturally understand how heavy-handed 1 was back then. It wasn’t to the extent that you had to abandon that body, so you chose to possess her. Were you really forced or…”
At this point, Gu Man did not continue. Instead, she gave Xia Tong a meaningful look.
When Xia Tong heard this, her heart raced. Why did Gu Man feel like she knew more about the Xia family than she did? Moreover, she always felt like she had been seen through in front of her..
