Chapter 408: Reversal of Magic

Hai Dafu, however, hesitated. After all, Ye Bufan’s performance was somewhat beyond his expectations, as he had calculated the entire sequence of events with clarity, which was something an ordinary person couldn't do.

Regarding his own life, he dared not be careless and asked, “Mr. Ye, are you sure you’re not joking?”

Ye Bufan shook his head. “Logically speaking, you started from scratch and built such a large enterprise, so you shouldn’t be a fool. Haven’t you realized by now that this is a setup?

This woman first used the Transference Curse on the jade Buddha to help you reverse your business situation, then placed the blame on your wife, excluding her.

From that moment on, you were working and earning money for her. In three days, both you and your wife will die, and all your family property will be hers.

This is indeed a good scheme, breaking apart your family and ultimately benefiting only her, allowing her to obtain the Hai family’s vast wealth.”

“This…”

After listening to Ye Bufan’s explanation, Hai Dafu shivered.

Just as he had said, he was definitely no fool to have built such a family fortune on his own, and he immediately saw that something was amiss.

Hai Mingzi heard all of this clearly and immediately shouted angrily, “You vixen, I’m going to beat you to death today.”

As she was about to pounce, Ye Bufan stopped her. “Don’t move around. Just watch.”

Dong Yaru panicked and quickly said, “Husband, please don’t listen to his nonsense. This Young man was invited by that jinx, and his purpose is to slander us and sow discord between us.

He says I set a trap to harm you, but what evidence does he have? This is clearly a lucky Buddha, yet he insists it’s something harmful. This is a complete distortion of the truth.”

Hearing her say that, Hai Dafu hesitated again. If Ye Bufan was invited by his daughter, it was somewhat plausible.

“You want evidence, do you? Then I’ll give you evidence.”

Ye Bufan pointed at the bracelet on Dong Yaru’s hand and said, “I wonder if that Great Master told you that this Mother-Child Essence Devouring Curse is reversible, as long as the opponent’s Cultivation surpasses the caster.”

A flicker of panic crossed the woman’s face, but she still forced herself to say, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. This was given to me for safety at the time.”

“You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin.”

Ye Bufan let out a cold laugh, quickly cast a spell, and then raised his hand to shoot it at the bracelet on Ma Dongmei’s wrist.

At that very moment, the originally emerald-green bracelet rapidly emitted a dazzling light.

Immediately after, all the black Qi inside the bracelet was expelled, replaced by a brilliant red light.

Then, the red bracelet on Dong Yaru’s hand also changed, the red light transforming into black Qi, quickly enveloping her entirely.

Under Ye Bufan’s powerful pressure, in that instant, the roles of the Mother-Child Essence Devouring Curse underwent a 360-degree transformation.

The bracelet on Dong Yaru’s hand began to devour her essence to nourish Ma Dongmei, and the speed was much faster than before, almost visible to the naked eye.

“Ah! What are you doing? Stop it right now!”

Dong Yaru felt something rapidly draining from her body and furiously screamed at Ye Bufan, then reached out to take off the bracelet.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the bracelet seemed to be glued to her wrist, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn't move it at all.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded: Dong Yaru’s originally delicate complexion rapidly withered, her jade-like skin began to shrivel, and wrinkles appeared more and more on her face. Her entire being aged rapidly at a visible pace.

In contrast, Ma Dongmei’s originally shriveled body seemed to be injected with vitality and vigor. Her two legs, which were previously like sticks, quickly filled with flesh and blood, and her skin became smoother and smoother.

Her hair began to turn black rapidly, the wrinkles on her face disappeared, and her entire being, like a magical scene from a movie, suddenly became full of life.

Seeing all of this, Hai Dafu and Hai Mingzi were both shocked, their mouths agape, standing there like wooden or clay statues.

“Ah! You bastard, stop it right now!”

Dong Yaru screamed frantically, but she couldn’t stop what was happening before her eyes.

“Master, save me, Master!”

She shouted loudly towards outside the room. Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang, and then a ghost-like figure floated in from outside.

“Who dares to touch a Disciple of my Yinji Sect?”

Hai Dafu and his daughter only then came back to their senses. They now fully believed everything Ye Bufan had said, and both looked towards the door.

Entering was a middle-aged woman who looked incredibly alluring, with long flowing hair and a sword stuck behind her back, exuding a strange aura from head to toe.

Ye Bufan had originally been facing away from the door. At this moment, he slowly turned around, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth when he saw the middle-aged woman.

“Yin San Niang, we meet again!”

It turned out that this woman was Yin San Niang, the Yinji Sect remnant who had escaped from Wufeng County. He hadn’t expected that all of this was also her doing.

“Ah? It’s you!”

Yin San Niang also hadn’t expected to meet Ye Bufan again. She knew the Young man’s powerful methods, and her previous injuries had just recovered, so how could she dare to stay any longer?

Completely disregarding Dong Yaru, who was still struggling, she immediately turned and ran.

“Want to run? It’s not that easy.”

Ye Bufan raised his hand and waved, and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl emitted a dazzling lightning glow. Immediately after, a thick bolt of lightning struck towards Yin San Niang.

However, this woman did indeed have some skill. She raised her hand and waved, and a black Qi flew out, barely blocking the lightning, and then she darted out of the room and disappeared.

Since he was still presiding over the Mother-Child Essence Devouring Curse, Ye Bufan also found it inconvenient to chase after her, so he could only let this woman go again.

Seeing that her Master had also run away, Dong Yaru completely lost her last hope. She knelt on the ground with a thud, continuously pleading with Ye Bufan.

“Great Master, please spare me this time. I will never dare to do it again.”

In just that short while, she seemed to have aged forty or fifty years, turning into an old woman of sixty or seventy, with white hair and a hunched body. Her originally jade-like skin had turned into chicken skin.

Thinking that he had slept with such a woman for three years, Hai Dafu immediately got goosebumps and shivered all over.

“You reap what you sow. What were you thinking when you harmed others? Now that you’ve taken something from someone, you naturally have to return it.”

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he pointed a finger, and the bracelet on Ma Dongmei’s hand emitted a dazzling light, delivering the final blow, instantly sucking all the essence from Dong Yaru’s body.

At this moment, Dong Yaru, completely devoid of life, had turned into a dried corpse.

Originally, she was an evil sorceress who had Cultivated for an unknown number of years, maintaining her life by relying on others’ essence. Now that her spell was broken, she was immediately reverted to her original form.

To avoid trouble, Ye Bufan flicked a Dan Fire, completely turning the woman into ashes.

After dealing with all of this, he flicked a finger, releasing Ma Dongmei’s acupoints.

Ma Dongmei slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, she had transformed from her previous decrepit state into a beautiful middle-aged woman.

Her legs regained their mobility, and her entire being became vibrant and full of life, even looking much younger than before she was harmed.

She looked at everything in the room, then at her own hands and feet, and exclaimed with surprise, “Mingzi, what happened to me? Am I dreaming?”
