Chapter 153: Why didn't he stop her from stealing his life force?

Changyuan turned his head to look at Xiao Yunchen lying on the couch, with a gentle expression and closed eyes, as if he was in a deep sleep.

He remembered when he first appeared in front of his master, it was in the deep mountain waters.

Sniffing the familiar scent on his master, the sealed contract between them produced ripples.

The collision of their souls made him excited and shocked.

Unfortunately, his master was afraid of snakes.

He was actually afraid of snakes!

Changyuan had thought of a million scenarios for their next encounter, but he never imagined that his master would be afraid of him.

Seeing Qin Ruan's confusion, who herself witnessed how Xiao Yunchen was afraid of snakes, Changyuan could empathize with her helplessness.

But this did not solve her doubt. She pointed to the female puppet thrown on the ground and asked, "Since you consider Xiao Yunchen as your master, why didn't you stop the female puppet from stealing his life force?"

Changyuan followed her direction and looked at the female puppet, with intense killing intent flashing in his reddish eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "She has a peach blossom curse with my master. I cannot harm her as long as the curse is not lifted."

Every word was filled with murderous intent, and he hated the female puppet to the bone.

"I see." Qin Ruan nodded slightly. "Do you have any way to make her lift the curse voluntarily?"

Changyuan shook his head.

Qin Ruan was skeptical of him. "As far as I know, ancient fierce beasts have the power to destroy the heavens and earth and slay gods. How can you be helpless against a mere hundred-year-old female puppet?"

"She has tangled deeply with my master, and to me, she is like half of my master. I cannot harm her."

Otherwise, why would he have let the female puppet stay by his master's side for so long?

"The female puppet has absorbed a lot of Xiao Yunchen's life force. Even if he is a good person, he cannot last half a year. I believe you must have intervened to save his life."

Qin Ruan could not think of any other reason.

Xiao Yunchen was a good person, but his vitality was not endless.

Changyuan nodded. "Yes, I have a soul contract with my master. In this life, my master will share my lifespan."

Even if the female puppet stole all of his master's life force, as long as Changyuan did not fall, Xiao Yunchen would never die.

Soul contract and sharing the lifespan with a fierce beast were things that Qin Ruan did not understand.Xiao Yunchen's fortunes were too good, there must be other factors at play.

Qin Ruan didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, nor was she interested.

At first, she thought Changyuan and the puppeteer Xu had some collusion, fearing that they would join forces tonight and she would have difficulty leaving alive.

Now that her stance was clear, she had no worries about what she had to do next.

"I'm going to help your master resolve the Peach Blossom Curse now. Once it's done, I'll take the money and leave. Let's not interfere with each other."

"As you wish," Changyuan's voice regained its indifference.

The reason he suddenly appeared was to resolve the Peach Blossom Curse on his master's body.

The woman in front of him had an extraordinary background. If anyone in this world could solve his master's problem, she would be one of them.

Qin Ruan's face showed a satisfied expression, her lips slightly curved.

She turned around to look at the puppet, who was trembling on the ground and covered in dirt.

"Have you thought it over? Do you want to resolve the Peach Blossom Curse yourself?" Qin Juan asked.

The puppet lay on the ground pretending to be dead, as if she hadn't heard Qin Juan's words.

She had heard the conversation between the human and the ancient beast just now, and her already calculating mind became even more active when she learned that not even the ancient beast could hurt Qin Ruan.

Her appearance was quite despicable, making people itch with hatred.

How could Qin Ruan not know what was on her mind?

Since she dared to discuss matters with Changyuan in front of the puppeteer Xu, she naturally had a way to deal with her.

The golden whip condensed by the power of the Underworld once again appeared in Qin Juan's hand.

She stared coldly at the puppeteer Xu on the ground, and a cold light radiated from her chilly eyes. "I may not have made it clear before, but the golden whip condensed by the power of the Underworld can strip a puppet's three souls and seven spirits when it hits the puppet's soul."
