This Curse Is Just Awesome

Chen Yu's face was filled with displeasure as he looked at the "Foot Bath" plaque in front of him, with all the colored lights flashing around it.

"Bringing a child to a place like this… that's not very good, right?"

"What's wrong? Kids also aren't allowed to read rage comics, but who cares?" Sister Qi pulled Chen Yu towards the door and said, "You're going to take part in the college entrance examination soon, so you're also considered an adult. It's time for you to gain some adult knowledge."

"How about we go somewhere else?"

"We're just going to sing songs. I heard that the sound system in this place is particularly good. We're not going to do anything else."

It took some rough pulling and forceful dragging to get Chen Yu through the entrance and into the main hall. The pretty ladies on both sides of the red carpet immediately came up to welcome the guests with a bow, saying, "Welcome to Clearwater Entertainment Hub."

Sister Qi said, "See how good the service in this place is."

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

Then, a familiar-looking manager quickly walked over to them.

"Holy crap! He's on duty today?!"

Seeing who was coming, Chen Yu secretly cursed under his breath and hurriedly lowered his head. But it was already too late.

"Yo! Brother Yu is here!" The manager was surprised. "You haven't been here in a while!" he said. "What kind of fun do you have in mind today? I'll find you some pretty ladies right away…"

Slapping his palm to his forehead, Chen Yu warned, "You'd better shut your mouth this very instant…"

The smile on Sister Qi's face gradually faded. Standing off to the side, she looked at the manager, then at Chen Yu, and asked, "What's going on? You guys know each other?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "No, I don't know him."

Realization dawned on the manager as well, and he replied, "Don't know him!"

"Then why is he calling you Brother Yu?"

"Right." Chen Yu looked at the manager and asked, "Why are you calling me Brother Yu?"

"Right." The manager also looked at Chen Yu while questioning, "Why am I calling you Brother Yu?"

"I'm asking you. Why?"

"I don't know why either…"

"The most outrageous thing is that you f**cking got it right!" Chen Yu pretended to be excited and gave the other party a strong slap on the shoulder. "This is just so coincidental, don't you think so?" he said.

"I actually got the right name! So, it turns out that you're really called Brother Yu!" The manager feigned surprised and exclaimed, "What a coincidence! Too coincidental, too coincidental…"

"…" Sister Qi was expressionless as she commented, "The two of you are here to make fun of a fool, is that it?"

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

The manager: "…" (speechless)

"Go and book a room for me first." Sister Qi pulled out her credit card and handed it to the manager. Then she cast a look at Chen Yu and said, "You better think hard and make up a good story to explain what the hell is going on."

Taking the credit card, the manager scurried off as though he was escaping.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, wore a bitter expression on his face as he followed Sister Qi into the elevator.

"You usually visit this place quite often, do you? Got quite closely acquainted with the manager? Have a few princesses that you're quite chummy with?"

"Sister Qi, there must be some misunderstanding. How could I possibly hook up with princesses in such rooms…"

"Ding-dong!"

The doors of the elevator opened, and four tall young women walked in.

The moment they saw Chen Yu, all their eyes lit up.

"Brother Yu, you're here!"

"Welcome, welcome…"

"Brother Yu, you've become even more handsome again."

"This time, you have to ask for us again! We won't be going downstairs…"

Sister Qi: "…" (speechless)

Chen Yu: "…" (speechless)

Sister Qi folded both arms over her chest, her face devoid of expression.

Chen Yu said, "… Sister Qi, how fast do you think the PCEP agreement that China just signed can lower the tariff barrier by ninety-five percent?"

"Don't you try to change the topic in such a tactless way!" Sister Qi bellowed.

...

Five minutes later.

Their room was ready.

Chen Yu, as well as the four princesses, stiffly sat on the sofa.

While Sister Qi, on the other hand, stood right in front of the crowd, intangible fluctuations of internal strength slowly spreading out from her.

"Big… Big sister..." A young girl was shivering with fear as she said, "To… today, I'm not feeling well. Can I not take this job…"

Young girl no. 2 raised her hand and said, "Me too. I'm on my period today…"

Young girl no. 3 raised her hand and said, "I don't want to take this job either. My rheumatoid is acting up."

Chen Yu raised his hand and said, "I'm giving birth today, and I can't hold it in anymore."

Young girl no. 4 raised her hand and said, "I'm also going to give birth. The operation is at 8 pm…"

"Shut up!" Sister Qi tapped the microphone and pointed at Chen Yu, then said, "Come, show me live how you're going to give birth."

Chen Yu looked at young girl no. 4 next to him and said, "Go, give birth to one for her."

Young girl no. 4: "…" (speechless)

"Why are you so afraid of me?" Sister Qi planted her hands on her hips and said, "You're all acting as if I'm going to eat you. Hurry up and select some songs."

"Alright!" Seeing how Sister Qi had given him a platform to retreat, Chen Yu hurriedly ran over to the song-selection booth and asked, "Sister Qi, what are you going to sing?"

"Show Lo's 'Vixen.' Let's sing together, the both of us."

Chen Yu replied, "… Alright."

The music started.

Sister Qi walked up to Chen Yu and leaned in close to whisper in his ear: "The first time I saw you, I knew you weren't honest. And you can still come here looking for girls, right? If you have spare cash to spend, what are you doing at my place, living off me and getting free food and all?"

"Look at what you're saying." Chen Yu smiled and said, "What money can I possibly have? It's just that a friend brought me here once a while ago. Besides, whether I have money or not, I still can't leave. Sister Qi, you've treated me well, and I have yet to repay you. If I leave just like that, can I still call myself a decent human? Will there still be justice?"

"Bleah!" Sister Qi wore a straight face, but the corners of her mouth seemed to involuntarily curl up the slightest bit, and she said, "What a glib tongue you have. In the future, just find yourself a rich woman and live off her, alright."

"Then I'll definitely put you on the top of the list for consideration."

"Get lost."

...

At the same time...

Two hundred miles away, in the midst of the wilderness...

A group of extremely huge creatures was wandering about.

From the way they were poking their heads around, it seemed like they were looking for something.

And just a short distance away, in an empty hollow beneath a huge boulder, there were two figures hiding.

A man and a woman.

>>>If Chen Yu were present, he would definitely have recognized this female…

She was none other than the former scholar of Green City, the top student of Capital University, Xing Bi.

"What are we going to do now?" the young lad said through clenched teeth. He was clutching his blood-stained thigh, which was still bleeding non-stop.

"The foreign beasts have gathered into a group and are surging towards Green City. Of course, we have to bring the news back quickly." Xing Bi's face was expressionless as she raised her wrist to look at the time on her watch. "There's at most ten hours left until Green City's flooded by the surge of beasts."

"But… my leg is injured."

"I can see that."

"Then how am I going to bring the message back with you?"

"Isn't it enough for just one person to bring the news back?" Xing Bi clicked her nails.

"… What do you mean?"

Turning her head, Xing Bi looked at the young lad. Then, in a calm and even tone, she said, "The fluctuating internal strength emitted by the foreign beasts will disrupt the full frequency range of the signal. You won't be able to use the phone to call for help. This is why a situation of impaired mobility naturally signifies the need for sacrifice. You can't be expecting me to run with you on my back, right?"

"…" The young lad was silent, an extremely dire expression on his face.

"Don't forget, the mission the school assigned us was to investigate the abnormal phenomenon of foreign beasts appearing at the perimeter of Green City. Now that we've determined the emergence of a beast tide, the most important thing to do is spread the news."

"So I'm just going to die here?"

"The ultimate end of a warrior is to die in battle, right?" Xing Bi sneered and said, "Now that the safety officer is dead, I'm the only one left who can break out of this place. I can't possibly take you with me."

The young lad was not willing to resign himself to such a fate. "You're highly skilled," he said. "Even if you take me with you, we'll still have a chance to escape."

"That will lower the success rate of my breakout," Xing Bi said coldly.

"… You're so heartless."

"Didn't you already know that on the first day of freshman year?"

"… Get lost!" The young lad reached his breaking point and exclaimed, "B*tch, go run for your life! Get lost!"

Xing Bi raised an eyebrow, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said, "Face up to reality. It's just your luck to have gotten injured."

"Scram!!"

"Goodbye."

With a hypocritical smile plastered on her face, Xing Bi nodded to the young lad. Then, she unleashed a sudden burst of internal strength, her entire body seemingly transforming into a meteor! At an extremely high speed, she flew out of the pit and ran towards Green City.

And this movement naturally attracted the attention of the foreign beasts who were scouring the area nearby.

"Roar!"

The foreign beasts threw their heads back and roared at the top of their lungs. Moving their four limbs in great strides, they wasted no time in giving chase in the direction that Xing Bi was heading.

But the next second...

Inside the pit that Xing Bi had originally been hiding in, there was suddenly a dazzling blue light! And it instantly attracted the attention of the foreign beasts.

"Crap!"

In the hole, there was a drastic change in the young lad's expression. He yanked the fluorescent patch off his shoulder in horror.

"Bait…"

"You used me as your bait…"

...

While running, Xing Bi heard the vague cries of misery coming from behind. She smiled and said, "The hundreds of thousands of people in Green City thank you for your dedication…"
