Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 243: Blood connections

Releasing a deep breath, "I told you... That is all I know..." Li Shao voice tired trying to convince everyone again. His defense starting to crumble. 'Stop asking, it will not make anything better even if you know.' his silent plea.

In his heart, he still hopes to meet other Keepers, that his father and mother always brags about because of the bond.

The blood connections that will always be there suppose to be despite through thick and thin. That because they are not only a race, they are suppose to be a large family.

"Hmm... Brother Lou, you want to know how I can curse someone to madness, right?" Gao Lan Mei is speaking to Lou Ren while grinning at Li Shao.

Then adding, "I think Li Shao here wants to volunteer." she smiled widely, "The good part is, it's free."

"Wha-" Li Shao tried to speak up but halted when Gao Lan Mei glared at him as she raises her hand to stop him from talking.

"You used up your chance to speak, it is now my turn!" Gao Lan Mei hissed under her breath, her eyes flashing with annoyance. Her flashed red then it went back to black.

Li Shao suddenly felt that he is unable to speak, he can feel the rising temperature around him giving him fear that he had never experienced before.

His started to feel numb all over. It started with the prickling of his skin like bugs sharp feet are walking all over him.

The numbness started to spread until the only part of his body that he can move is his eyes.

Li Shao can only stare at Gao Lan Mei with a terrified expression, as he is not sure how she did it. When and how he does not have any idea.

He did not even see Gao Lan Mei utter any chant if the reason for his current.

Gao Lan Mei, "The mortal brain has a lot of parts. Do you know?" she asked casually to no one in particular.

She pointed her finger at the lower back of her head, "Inside the brain, directly to this part, is a very tiny part that controls our every movement," Gao Lan Mei uttered, "Then on the upper is the biggest part of the brain which controls a beings unconscious and conscious mind." She then added with a smile.

Li Shao stared at Gao Lan Mei since he is unable to speak, he then glanced to the others that are also confused to what she is talking about.

"Hmm" tilting her head, "Well, I was just sharing actually." Gao Lan Mei grinning at their confused expression.

"I am also explaining how you can curse someone to madness, without almost doing anything," she paused for a moment, "because all you feel and will see are all in the mind."

"One more fun fact about the mind is that it is connected to a lot of multiple acupoints in the mortal's body." Gao Lan Mei added. If Yen Mingjue can hear her now, he will comment that she is really talking a lot.

"Mei'er what are you trying to say?" Li Mao asked, her face showing confusion.

Gao Lan Mei just smiled apologetically, "I apologize, mother, I just trying to explain, what this could do" she then pulled out a rose pouch from her sleeves. "The sad thing though, I still do not have an antidote." She said releasing her breath showing her disappointment.

"Inside that pouch is what you used to cast curse madness?" Lou Ren asked, with disbelief. He thought Gao Lan Mei will show them a more complex chant or a ritual. A pouch? She also mentioned antidote, so it's a poison?

"Yes." Gao Lan Mei nodded her head. "Since Li Shao wants to try it, why not?" shrugging her shoulders to treat it casually.
