Is my memory really that bad?
Could it be that the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse has entered its second stage, 'Peach Blossom Amnesia'?
In this stage, the cursed person's memory deteriorates, and their behavior sometimes becomes inexplicable.
What is most fatal for a scoundrel?
It's calling one girlfriend by another's name, or mixing up their preferences, attributing one girlfriend's likes to another.
Peach Blossom Amnesia stirs up conflicts between blossoms, while the cursed person's memory worsens, always forgetting the issue.
Back at the ranch.
"Why are you here?"
Li Cunxu looked at Lin Qingwei, who was playing with the Slimes at the ranch.
"I came to deliver something."
"Deliver something?"
Lin Qingwei took out a sandalwood box from her Spatial Ring, containing a Dragon Blood Gem (Golden Dragon).
Li Cunxu grew wary, "Why are you giving this to me?"
"I noticed you liked it before, so I thought of giving it to you. Also, I wanted to apologize for my childish behavior when we were young."
Take your things back; I don't care for them.
These words, Li Cunxu couldn't bring himself to say.
Somehow, he accepted it and even blurted out, "If you give me a bottle of Inferior Revival Water, I'll completely forgive you for what you did to me when we were kids."
After saying it, Li Cunxu felt shameless. How could he say such a thing?
Taking a Wondrous Item worth millions, the Dragon Blood Gem that produces gold, and still asking for Inferior Revival Water worth three to five hundred thousand.
One shouldn't be so shameless.
Wait, this is the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse at work, increasing my connection with Lin Qingwei.
I can't even control my actions; this is a bad sign.
Li Cunxu became alert.
At night, Chen Lu video-called Li Cunxu, and they chatted for a while.
"What? Sister Chen Xi is missing?"
"Yes, I wanted to ask if you have any clues."
"No."
...
"Don't worry, the family has divined for Sister Chen Xi; she'll be fine."
After hanging up, Li Cunxu rubbed his temples, lost in deep thought.
"Ever since coming out of the Vein Realm, my luck with women has been too good. The Peach Blossom Calamity Curse is at work."
"Even my seeking out Mei Ruifeng must be influenced by the curse; otherwise, I wouldn't let someone I don't trust examine my body."
"I can't let the Peach Blossom Calamity Curse grow stronger; I must suppress it."
Interacting with many beauties seems pleasant, but each step hides danger.
The Peach Blossom Calamity is a calamity, not a blessing.
The so-called red thread of fate is but a mirage, visible yet untouchable, like the moon in water—unreachable, with the risk of drowning if one falls in.
If someone truly indulges in it, they're not far from being cursed to death by the Peach Blossom Calamity.
Li Cunxu decided to take action tomorrow.
...
With a flick of his hand, the White Spider swiftly caught it, looking at the object in its grasp.
"Sisi~ (What is this?)"
"A Skill Seed for Mimicry. Use Fate Points to enhance the Mimicry skill, then mimic a human form for easier movement. I plan to train you into a scholar."
The White Spider's hand was a sharp claw, making it troublesome to configure the Slime Mutation Needle, not as convenient and quick as a human hand.
"Sis~ (Why become a scholar?)"
"Being a scholar makes it more convenient for you to harvest Fate Points. A single thesis or invention can bring you a considerable amount of Fate Points."
"Sis~ (But scholars have to learn so much, I don't want to.)"
White Spider made a lazy gesture, indicating that it just wanted to be a carefree slacker.
Li Cunxu coaxed, "If you don't want to learn, you can have your clone do it! Let it become the scholar, so you can lie back and earn Fate Points."
White Spider's eyes flickered, and it seemed somewhat tempted.
The exhilarating feeling of becoming stronger by allocating Fate Points was more satisfying than a spa day, and it was always on its mind.
White Spider crushed the Skill Seed, which transformed into a beam of light and entered its mind. Numerous insights about Mimicry usage began to surface in its thoughts.
In an instant, White Spider had mastered Mimicry.
Using the Fate Points it had recently accumulated, it maxed out the proficiency of Mimicry to perfection.
Activating Mimicry, White Spider was enveloped in a white light.
Li Cunxu was both amused and exasperated.
"Why did you mimic that?"
The object White Spider had mimicked was a cute plush doll dressed in a pure white wedding gown, sitting on Li Cunxu's bedside table.
As for why there was a plush doll on his bedside table?
It was Li Anle who had bought it and placed it there.
"This plush doll looks like me. She will replace me in keeping you company. When you miss me, just look at her, and… don't you dare forget me."
"Buji~ Buji~ (Because it's so cute!)"
"Since you can't speak human language, tomorrow I'll get a voice module and attach it to the plush doll. Then, when you mimic it, you should be able to speak human words," Li Cunxu pondered.
"By the way, why not mimic a human? You're so short, it's not convenient at all."
Li Cunxu gestured to indicate the height, which only reached his calf.
"Buji~ Buji~ (A human's height is too different from my real size. Mimicking it consumes a lot of Spirit Energy.)"
"Oh, I see!"
After a while, it transformed back from its plush form into White Spider.
"What's wrong?"
"Sis~ (I'm out of Spirit Energy.)"
White Spider allocated all its remaining Fate Points to Spirit Energy, instantly increasing it more than tenfold.
"Sis~ (Go read some books!)"
White Spider ordered its clone.
The clone didn't obediently comply but instead argued with the main body.
"Sis~ (Why don't you go?)"
"Sis~ (I'm the main body, of course, I'm responsible for slacking off.)"
"Sis~ (It's always been like this. I'm the one doing all the dirty and hard work, and now you want me to study too? Clones have no rights, clones don't deserve rest!)"
White Spider and its clone started fighting.
Their acting was too stiff, as if they were reading from a script. The two White Spiders were putting on a show, deliberately dragging out the time.
Li Cunxu flicked both of them on the head.
"One of you, whoever it is, must go and study. If neither of you can do it, I'll stop the daily bottle of Delicious Poisonous Water."
Under the threat of losing the Delicious Poisonous Water, the clone reluctantly went to study.
Li Cunxu had it study kindergarten-level material, which he had specifically bought from the bookstore.
The next day, at noon.
Pupil City, Dusha District, Dusha District Second Maternity and Children's Hospital.
Dusha District was one of the ten special administrative districts of Pupil City. To commemorate the outstanding contributions of the Medusa Family during the Great Cataclysm, a portion of the city was specifically allocated for the Medusa Family to manage.
Originally, Pupil City had twenty-eight administrative districts, all managed by aristocratic families.
Why are there only ten left now? Were they annexed by the top ten aristocratic families?
Not exactly.
Before the Cataclysm, aristocratic families were not exactly virtuous. They monopolized resources, Pet Beasts, and knowledge, and suppressed the common people. Of course, not all aristocratic families were bad, but the good ones were too
few.
After the Cataclysm, humanity should have united to fend off the threat of the Evil Gods. However, some aristocratic families still clung to their outdated ideologies, banding together to monopolize the upward mobility of the common people.
