The Soul Returns: The Peerless Imperial Daughter Begins to Abuse the Scumbag

Hearing this promise, the blood fox widened its eyes in surprise and carefully put down its front paws, as if it couldn't believe its ears.

It looked at Su Chenyin in disbelief, sobbed a few times, and asked tentatively: "Really? You really won't kill me?"

"Really, I keep my word." Su Chenyin smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing this, the blood fox burst into laughter.

"But you have to tell me why you are following me? And you should be very familiar with this blood forest, right? Tell me, are there any secrets or dangers here?" Su Chen continued.

The blood fox wiped away the tears with its front paws and said with a little embarrassment: "Actually, I didn't mean to follow you. I was just a little curious."

"Curious?" Su Chenyin raised her eyebrows slightly, quite surprised by the blood fox's answer.

"Yes." The Blood Fox nodded heavily and struggled hard to stand up.

However, due to his serious injuries, several efforts ended in failure.

Seeing this, Su Chenyin had an idea and took out a healing pill from the space and handed it to the blood fox.

"This is a healing pill. If you take it, your injuries will heal quickly."

The blood fox looked at Su Chenyin with suspicion, but still carefully took the pill and put it in his mouth.

In less than two breaths, it was pleasantly surprised to find that the wound on its shoulder, deep enough to see the bone, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It excitedly jumped around Su Chenyin for a few circles, then stopped and looked at her with gratitude in its deep blue eyes.

"Human, thank you, your medicine is amazing. I found that even the injuries I suffered many years ago have healed." The blood fox exclaimed.

Su Chenyin smiled and seemed indifferent to the blood fox's gratitude.

"Since your injury has healed, let's continue talking."

Blood Fox nodded, his expression becoming serious: "In fact, this blood forest is called the 'blood curse land'. Every leaf and every inch of land here is cursed."

"Blood cursed land?" Su Chenyin frowned.

"Yes, the Blood Curse Land." Blood Fox nodded, his tone becoming serious. "Legend has it that a long time ago, a tragic battle took place here, and countless lives were lost."

"Their blood dyed the forest red, and the resentment of those dead creatures gathered and formed a powerful curse, and the name 'Blood Curse Land' came from this."

There was an indescribable sadness and heaviness in Blood Fox's words.

Su Chenyin listened in fascination. She had read the legend about the blood-cursed land in ancient books, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Seeing her deep in thought, Blood Fox continued:

"From now on, every living being that breaks into this place will be cursed. At the very least, their minds will be lost, and at the worst, their souls will be shattered. They will also be unable to leave this forest."

After listening to this, Su Chenyin thought for a moment and raised the question in his mind:

"What about you? How do you survive in this blood-cursed land? Aren't you affected by the curse? How do you stay sane?"

The blood fox sighed, his face looked somewhat sad, and there was a hint of pity in his voice:

"Hey, actually, I also accidentally broke into this blood-cursed land, and then I was cursed. The longer I stay here, the more I will lose my mind."

"Fortunately, I was able to resist a portion of the curse due to my special ability, which allowed me to remain sane. However, my body turned blood red as a result."

Su Chenyin could hear the helplessness and sadness in the blood fox's words. Although she felt a little sympathetic towards its plight, she still had some questions in her mind.

So she asked, "Then you haven't tried to break the curse of this blood-cursed land in the past?"

When the blood fox heard Su Chenyin's words, a trace of loneliness flashed in its eyes and it let out a long sigh.

It shook its head gently and hung its head in frustration: "Of course there is. I have tried countless times to find a way to break the curse, but I have failed every time."

"No matter how hard I try, I can't find a way to crack it."

"And the reason why I can survive in this place and stay sober is not only because I have special abilities, but more importantly, I have learned how to coexist with the curse."

At this point, Blood Fox paused for a moment, then continued, "But as time went on, the curse on me became stronger and stronger, and my power was gradually exhausted."

"If I can't find a way to leave here soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Blood Fox's tone was full of helplessness and sadness.

Su Chenyin listened and was silent for a moment. She slowly said, "Maybe, I can help you."

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in the blood fox's eyes, but then dimmed again: "Human, are you really willing to help me? But this curse is too powerful, I'm worried..."

"Helping you is also helping myself." Su Chenyin waved his hand to interrupt Blood Fox's words.

"Don't forget, I'm also trapped in this cursed place. If I don't break the curse, how can I get out?"

"So, no matter how powerful and unbreakable the curse is, I will find a way to break it." Su Chenyin's eyes were extremely determined.

After a pause, Su Chenyin's mind turned and she quickly thought of a possibility. She opened her red lips and continued:

"Moreover, since this blood-cursed land is formed by the resentment of living beings, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, so the key to solving it may lie in the resentment of these living beings."

When the Blood Fox heard Su Chenyin's words, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes, as if he saw the dawn of hope.

It said excitedly: "Yes, yes, human, you are right. Why didn't I think of it before? Perhaps, we really need to start with those grievances."

"Yeah." Su Chenyin nodded, indicating that he agreed with Blood Fox's point of view.

Then she asked, "But do you know where the resentment is the heaviest? I think there might be clues to breaking the curse there."

After hearing this, Blood Fox frowned and pondered for a while, as if trying hard to recall something.

After a moment, the blood fox suddenly raised his head, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said excitedly:

"I remembered! I remembered there is a place where the resentment is the most intense. That place is called 'Valley of Resentful Souls' and is located in the deepest part of this blood forest."

"Valley of Resentful Souls?" Su Chenyin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Blood Fox nodded and explained, "Yes, the resentment in that place is very strong and heavy. I never dare to get close to it. I can only take a peek from a distance."

"Legend has it that this was the place where the fiercest battles took place. The resentment of countless creatures gathered there, and the resentment soared to the sky."

At this point, a hint of fear unconsciously appeared in Blood Fox's tone, and even a hint of awe and fear flashed in his eyes.

After Su Chenyin heard this, his heart moved.

She felt that this Valley of Resentful Souls, filled with strong resentment, might be the key to breaking the blood curse.

So, Su Chenyin quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and said resolutely: "Let's go, lead the way, we will go there and take a look."
