“Hurry up! Everyone, get out! Let him cure my grandma’s curse!”
Shado shouted before jumping up to chase away the people.
Now, her grandmother’s curse had begun to manifest, and her lower body had been petrified. She began to worry that her grandmother would be beyond salvation if she were left in this condition any longer.
The high priestess, the astrologist, and the others at the side immediately retreated after looking at each other. It was an undeniable fact that the curse in Shado’s body was already gone.
The prophecy passed down by the ancestors could not be wrong.
Following suit, the high priestess yelled, “Everyone, leave the building and let Lord Saint cure the village chief’s curse! Hurry, hurry!”
Only then did Alex know that Shado’s grandmother was the chief of the village.
Soon, only Alex, the village chief, and his daughter, Bubbles, were left in the building. The little one who had been following Alex had suffered a lot lately.
It was unclear if it was an illusion, but her gaze and the expression on her little face intensified as if she had begun to have a certain understanding of the world around her, feeling sorry for her father. Her glistening eyes were rich in emotion.
She then turned her head and looked at the village chief with a face of interest.
“Please forgive me, Lord Saint, for being unable to salute you because of my immobility!” Shado’s grandmother said.
Alex waved his hand. Seeing a bed next to him, he gently placed his daughter on it. He turned back and walked around the grandmother. As a result, he realized that the curse in her body was centered around the heart.
An ancient rune was hidden in the heart’s center. It was the rune’s effect that pulled in all the evil Chi from her body.
If he wanted to help her dispel the curse that had already taken effect, he had to remove the cursed rune hidden in her heart.
Seeing Alex’s somewhat awkward expression, the grandmother asked, “Lord Saint, is it a little too difficult to cure? This curse of mine is definitely harder to handle than the umnanifested ones. Never mind, I’ve lived long enough. I’m already satisfied that I can see the Lord Saint’s advent in my remaining life. From now on, our Naga tribe will put our faiths in Lord Saint… Lord Saint, please take care of my granddaughter Shado too.”
The grandmother shook her head and closed her mouth tightly.
Alex looked at her and asked, “Let’s chat then. The extraction process will be a bit slow. You said you’ve lived for a long time. How old are you?”
“I’m 997 years old this year. I should be considered as the eldest one in the entire Naga tribe.”
‘Oh-ho, she’s really a millennium-old demon!’
“That’s quite old, but you don’t look old at all,” said Alex. “I thought you were just twenty seven years old. Your appearance is well maintained. What kind of cosmetics do you usually use?”
The grandmother was puzzled.
There were no such things as cosmetics in the Naga tribe.
