Chapter 664: Dispelling the Curse


    The terrifying residual Spiritual Energy waves still rippled through the pce, yet the three Emperors were all staring in stunned silence at the petite figure that had just appeared.


    It was the first time they had seen Mand''s true form.


    Who could have imagined that when the light surrounding the Domain Ruler dissipated, it would reveal such a beautiful little girl?


    Only the Sleep Emperor showed no sign of shock, as if he had known all along.


    Next to Xiao Ming, Qing Yanjing had a strange expression on her face. She had only casually thought about it before, but she hadn''t expected that the illustrious ruler of the Great Havew Domain, whose fame echoed throughout the North Territory, would actually be a girl, albeit a rather small one.


    Mand''s expression was serious after being forced to reveal her true form. Her purple-colored eyes glowed as she scanned Xiao Ming''s body, attempting to gauge his strength.


    However, no matter how hard she tried, she could only sense that his strength was as vast and boundless as the starry sky, with no discernible limits or weaknesses.


    Realizing that she was no match for Xiao Ming, Mand decided not to make another move. His ability to effortlessly suppress her made it clear that resistance was futile.


    As the saying goes, ''A wise man submits to circumstances.'' She was not one to stubbornly persist in a hopeless situation. Standing respectfully, she said, "Senior, your strength is formidable. May I ask what brings you to my Great Havew Domain? I will do my utmost to assist you."As she spoke, Mand couldn''t help but regret her impulsive attack earlier. She should have assessed the situation more carefully.


    However, the title ''Heavenly Emperor'' held immense significance for her.


    Xiao Ming smiled and waved his hand when he noticed Mand''s tension. "Don''t be nervous. Even though you''re a Primordial Mand Flower, it''s not like this Emperor is going to eat you. However, there is something I need your cooperation with."


    "This Emperor is here to establish the Heavenly Court and intends to bring the Great Havew Domain under hismand. In exchange, this Emperor will help you remove the curse on you and help you retrieve your true body located in the Ancient Haven Pce. What do you think?"


    <em>!!!!</em>


    Mand''s pupils contracted, and her face filled with indescribable shock. Both her true body and the Ancient Haven Pce were secrets buried deep within her heart, secrets she had never shared with anyone. How did this person know?


    "I know you have many questions, but don''t ask them. This Emperor wouldn''t answer even if you did. All you need to know is that this Emperor has the strength to back up his ims."


    Xiao Ming nced at her, and suddenly, his aura erupted. Aside from the three of them, everyone else in the pce was forced to the ground by the overwhelming pressure.


    "This strength... it''s a Heavenly Sovereign!"


    Mand had spent time with the ancient Heavenly Emperor and was familiar with this kind of pressure. Only a Heavenly Sovereign could possess such an overwhelming aura. The person in front of her was indeed a Heavenly Sovereign!


    "Heavenly Emperor, I am willing to serve under yourmand!"


    Mand uttered these words without hesitation. After all, it wasn''t like she was selling her body; she was simply bing someone''s subordinate, and the terms were incredibly generous. So why hesitate? How this Heavenly Emperor knew her secrets wasn''t that important.


    The oppressive aura that weighed on them receded like a tidal wave as soon as Mand finished speaking.


    The three Emperors and Jiu You all let out a heavy sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, they thought they would be crushed to death.


    However, knowing that Xiao Ming was a Heavenly Sovereign and that they had already pledged their allegiance to him, the three Emperors couldn''t help but feel a surge of excitement.


    This was a Heavenly Sovereign!


    A figure who stood at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World.


    Just meeting such a person was a lifetime boast. Now, they were going to serve under him. How could they not be thrilled?


    The most important thing was that a Heavenly Sovereign''s faction would undoubtedly be a superpower, and the resources avable in such a faction were iparable to what they had ess to now.


    Moreover, they had heard about the ancient Heavenly Emperor. Considering that the new Heavenly Emperor hade to the Skw Continent, he surely wasn''t aiming to establish a minor power. He might even unify the entire Skw Continent in the future.


    As the founding members of the Heavenly Court, their future status would not be low at all.


    Had it not been an inappropriate time, the three Emperors might have even let out a long howl to express their loyalty and relieve their inner excitement.


    Mand, however, was much moreposed than the three Emperors. Since she had already pledged her allegiance to the new Heavenly Emperor, her main concern was when the curse within her body could be lifted.


    The curse had been inflicted upon her in ancient times by someone who had ambushed her.


    It constantly caused her extreme pain, pain so severe that it could drive a 9th Grade Sovereign expert to madness.


    Moreover, the curse would re up periodically, forcing her to spend most of her time in seclusion to suppress it. This was why she had left most of the management of the Great Havew Domain to the three Emperors.


    Now that there was a chance to lift the curse, she naturally hoped it could be done as soon as possible.


    When Mand asked when the curse could be lifted, Xiao Ming beckoned to her and said, "If you wish, it can be done now. Come over."


    Mand hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to Xiao Ming. He remained seated on the throne and extended his finger to touch her forehead. A liquid-like green me emerged from his fingertip, causing the temperature around them to rise rapidly. Images of countless nts slowly growing could be seen wherever the me burned.


    As his finger touched her forehead, Mand felt a powerful and pure energy flow into her body along with the me. The curse that had gued her body seemed to sense the danger and began to thrash violently.


    "Ah!"


    Mand cried out in pain as the curse within her body erupted. ck thorns burst from her flesh, writhing like living creatures as they wrapped tightly around her muscles. These thorns, resembling venomous snakes, greedily sucked her blood.


    As more of these ck thorns appeared, Mand''s originally fair and delicate skin began to turn an eerie shade of dark.


    Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and increased his energy output upon seeing this. The emerald green mes instantly engulfed the thorns. Although the thorns emitted an eerie aura, they began to scream in agony, like damned souls in hell enduring unbearable torture.


    The mes surged, and wherever they passed, the thorns withered, losing their life force inch by inch.


    Despite their desperate struggle, they werepletely powerless against the mes.


    Mand felt most of the pain dissipate, reced by a tingling sensation that spread throughout her body. Unable to control herself, she copsed against Xiao Ming''s chest as he sat on the throne.


    Xiao Ming wrapped an arm around her. Her petite body felt soft and smooth to the touch.


    Seeing that Mand''s pain hadrgely subsided, he left a cluster of green mes within her body and said with a light smile, "From now on, it is up to you. If you can absorb half of the energy from the Life Spirit me, not only will the curse be lifted, but your strength will also increase significantly."


    Mand did not answer. She remained leaning against his chest, her eyes tightly closed.


    The dispersing ck smoke made it clear to everyone that she was working hard to remove the curse.


    "Mmm~"


    Not long after, Mand let out a soft moan, her voice filled with an unprecedented sense of relief. She then opened her eyes and woke up.
