On the way back to the Shen family's residence, Shen Yao walked ahead with a furious expression, while Xiao Jun held Mo Xuan's arm and leaned on his shoulder, looking blissful.
Mo Xuan: Someone please beg me!
Fortunately, it wasn't far. After returning to the Shen family, Mo Xuan immediately went to the living room and knelt properly.
The Shen family: Speaking of this child, he's quite sensible. Why is he so clueless?
It was no wonder Shen Yao was angry. This time, An Hun had only mixed the Soul Soothing Spell with the Infatuation Spell. If some Evil Banishing or Demon Expelling spells had been mixed in, Xiao Jun's soul would have been cleared as evil!
If that had happened, where would she find a Xiao Jun's soul to compensate them?
"Mo Xuan, I'm telling you, you're finished!"
The more Shen Yao thought about it, the angrier she became. When she got angry, she couldn't help but want to hit Mo Xuan, but she had already hit him, so it wasn't appropriate to hit him again in front of so many people.
"Mom, don't be angry. I promise I'll recite the spells every day from today onwards and never be lazy again." Mo Xuan quickly accepted his punishment.
"Recite them once? You're dreaming. From today onwards, you'll recite the spells to me every day, and I'll test you daily. If you can't recite them, I'll turn you into a snakeskin bag!"
At the mention of snakeskin bag, Mo Xuan shivered. He couldn't help but remember when he was young, his mother, being gluttonous, had gone into the monster forest and dragged back a large Sen Ran. (Ahem, protect wildlife, otherwise it's really punishable.)
He watched as his mother skillfully skinned and gutted the Sen Ran, then made snake skin bags and clothes...
At that moment, he felt his mother was the most terrifying woman in the world, bar none. Even after he ate the delicious snake soup, his opinion never wavered.
Shen Yao was truly angry, but what was the use of being angry?
Since Mo Xuan had already caused this situation, there was no other way but to find a solution.
Shen Yao apologetically said to Luo Yunping, "I'm very sorry. I've already disciplined this useless thing. I'll remove Xiao Jun's Infatuation Spell now."
Luo Yunping understood Shen Yao's meaning. It meant that she had already disciplined Mo Xuan, so they didn't need to take action, and she would cure Xiao Jun.
In fact, if Shen Yao hadn't discovered that Mo Xuan's spell was wrong, he would have really believed that Xiao Jun had fallen in love at first sight with Mo Xuan, whom he had just met.
He had even felt guilty towards Mo Xuan before, as any normal man would feel uncomfortable being liked and pestered by someone else.
(Shen Yao: So it's my fault? Luo Yunping: Not at all, not at all.)
Luo Yunping didn't dare to show any anger. It was a joke; whether Xiao Jun could recover now depended on Shen Yao.
"It's alright, I know Mo Xuan definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Only then did Shen Yao nod. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
The sudden, out-of-the-blue question stunned Luo Yunping. "No, I don't."
"That's good."
Then Shen Yao said to Father Shen, Mother Shen, and Eldest Brother Shen and his wife, "Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, please step back."
Father Shen and the others were confused. "Why?"
Shen Yao: "Oh, it's nothing much, but I'm about to chant the Clarity Spell for Xiao Jun and the others. It makes one become pure and desireless, detached from all wants. Uh, it's not very suitable for you to listen to."
As soon as Shen Yao said this, the four people who were pointed out silently stepped back a few paces.
Shen Yao: It's really unnecessary. It only makes one pure and desireless for about one or two months.
In fact, it wasn't just Father Shen and the others who retreated; even Shen Huaijin and Luo Yunping quietly took a step back.
Luo Yunping: Thanks, although I don't have a girlfriend, I also don't want to be pure and desireless.
Shen Huaijin: I have a girlfriend, so I'd better stay away.
Shen Yao ignored their small movements and raised her hands, asking Mo Xuan and Xiao Jun to stand facing each other with their palms touching.
Xiao Jun was initially unwilling to cooperate, but upon hearing that he could hold hands with his "husband," he immediately obediently placed his hands in position.
Even though Mo Xuan was reluctant, he had to place his hand there.
"Heart as clear as ice, unmoved by heaven's collapse; ten thousand changes remain steady, spirit serene and breath calm; untouched by dust, unsoiled by worldly appearances..."
Every word seemed to be imprinted in their hearts, and their whole beings felt elevated. Everything in the past seemed to vanish like smoke.
Wait, what did everything in the past vanishing like smoke mean? They absolutely did not!
As a result, suddenly, everyone around Shen Yao, except for Mo Xuan and Xiao Jun, was gone. They all secretly hid in the kitchen, only sticking their heads out, one stacked on top of the other, watching the excitement.
Shen Yao's speaking speed was very fast, and she quickly finished chanting the enhanced Clarity Spell ten times.
As soon as Shen Yao stopped, Mo Xuan immediately pulled back his hand. His expression was very calm, as if he had seen through the mortal world.
"Slap!"
Shen Yao slapped Mo Xuan on the head. Instantly, a pained expression appeared on Mo Xuan's previously serene face, and he looked at Shen Yao resentfully.
"Mom, why did you hit me again?"
His aggrieved look completely lacked the air of having seen through the world just now.
Shen Yao ignored him and turned to look at Xiao Jun. Xiao Jun also opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a clear and pure aura.
"Hello, beautiful sister."
As soon as Xiao Jun opened his eyes, he saw Shen Yao and immediately smiled at her. Then, he seemed to sense that something was wrong with himself.
"I, I can speak again!"
Xiao Jun's voice was full of excitement. He didn't know why he suddenly got better, but seeing Shen Yao, he knew it must have been Shen Yao who helped him.
Luo Yunping also came out of the kitchen at this moment, looking happily at Xiao Jun. "Xiao Jun, do you know who I am?"
Xiao Jun nodded. "Uncle Luo."
Although he couldn't speak, he could still see. This Uncle Luo had been taking care of him since he fell ill.
He knew he was sick, but he didn't understand why. He had lost his voice first, then his hearing, then his sense of pain, and finally his sense of taste had also disappeared.
He could only see, but his world felt like a silent, speechless movie.
He felt that living was meaningless, but seeing so many people taking care of him, he couldn't bear to leave.
Thus, he struggled between giving up and persisting, until he met Shen Yao, the first person who heard him speak.
She was like a beam of light, illuminating his world!
Mo Xuan watched Xiao Jun gaze at Shen Yao with admiration, his heart beating wildly.
This sickly boy is quite something!
First, he wanted to be his husband, then his wife, and now it's even more outrageous! He's developed feelings of admiration for his mother!
You're so outstanding, why don't you ascend to the Nine Heavens!
