Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Bloodline Curse Technique Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Bloodline Curse Technique Lin Chunju looked at Yue Qingqing, her mind filled with confusion.

“What is borrowing Qi Fortune? Was everything I saw just now real?”

Yue Qingqing cleared her throat and decided to tell the truth.

“It means that someone with the same bloodline as you is using the power of the bloodline to absorb Grandmother’s good fortune, while his misfortune is transferred to you through the bloodline.”

“Because Dad, Second Uncle, Youngest Uncle, and Auntie have your bloodline, they will also have their good fortune borrowed. If we think about the long term, Xingxing and Xiaohu will be the same.”

Yue Qingqing didn’t mention herself, as she was well aware that she did not share Lin Chunju’s bloodline.

This was also why she only discovered today that Lin Chunju was subject to this fortune borrowing.

After all, this kind of Curse Technique operates only through the bloodline, and even the most powerful cultivators would find it hard to detect.

If she hadn’t been able to see Qi Fortune, she probably wouldn’t have been able to find out about this from Lin Chunju’s blood.

Lin Chunju closed her eyes, feeling waves of dizziness wash over her.

It took her a good while to finally understand what Yue Qingqing had said.

Logically, she found it impossible to believe.

Yet the incidents that had happened to her family over the years made it impossible for her not to believe.

Before Qingqing had come to their home, the Yue Family’s bad luck was well-known throughout the village.

Every time their life started to get better, something would seem to happen that brought them right back to square one.

If Lin Chunju hadn’t been so resilient, she might have hung herself from the house beam long ago.

The turning point for the Yue Family’s rise was exactly when Qingqing was brought back home by the eldest son’s wife.

If not for Qingqing, the youngest son would have lost his life in the hills the next day.

“Borrowing Qi Fortune… borrowing my fortune, the children’s fortune…”

Lin Chunju muttered to herself, suddenly recalling what Yue Qingqing had said.

“Only through the bloodline?”

Yue Qingqing sighed and nodded, “Yes.”

Lin Chunju felt the world spin around her, almost falling to the ground.

Yue Qingqing quickly grasped her arm. Lin Chunju, worried about crushing the children, could only grit her teeth and stand firm.

Tears welled up in her eyes, “How could he do this, my brother couldn’t possibly do these things.”

Yue Qingqing lowered her head, not daring to speak. She once heard from her master.

There was a young girl who had been pampered by her family from a young age, who would have the stars if she wished it, or the moon if she desired it, especially doted on by her elder sister.

Although the girl couldn’t cultivate and was frail and ill, she was full of gratitude for her family.

But only until she was on her deathbed did she realize that she was nothing more than human livestock nurtured by the family.

The affection the family showed the girl was mere illusion, meant to supply her with Qi Fortune so she could live longer.

The master said that although the girl was mortal, in her final moment she exploded and died, and because her soul was filled with resentment, she couldn’t reincarnate from the Underworld. Instead, she had to linger unwillingly near her family.

In the end, her soul was scattered by the very sister who had borrowed her Qi Fortune, vanishing from the world.

But seeing how utterly heartbroken Grandmother was, Yue Qingqing could only comfort her quietly, “Maybe it was the people around your brother who did it. He might not know about it?”

Lin Chunju shook her head, her jaws clenched so tight she couldn’t utter a word.

It was a long time before Lin Chunju spoke again.

“Qingqing, can you tell when Grandmother’s Qi Fortune was borrowed?”

Yue Qingqing pondered for a moment, took Lin Chunju’s hand, and unwrapped the cloth from her injured finger.

She squeezed gently, and a drop of blood emerged from the wound that was about to heal.

Yue Qingqing enveloped the drop of blood with Spiritual Energy, halting it midair.

She bent down and blew on Lin Chunju’s wound, then wrapped it up again.

Lin Chunju forced a smile at her, “Grandmother will be okay.”

Yue Qingqing blew at the drop of blood in the air, which suddenly increased in volume by dozens of times.

It swirled around as if it were a fish swimming in midair, its tail flicking back and forth.

Yet, its surface was covered with black markings, giving it a somewhat fearsome appearance.

Yue Qingqing observed intently the trail left by the moving drop of blood until the red color faded from dark to light, eventually dispersing into nothingness.

“It’s been too long, at least thirty years ago.”
