CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: WITHOUT LIFTING THE CURSE, HE WON’T LIVE PAST THIRTY!

Since the Blood Curse manifested when he was 18, he hasn’t concealed it from his two close friends.

They are well aware that until the Blood Curse is broken, he cannot have offspring.

The Blood Curse Poison began to act on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen, and at the time, he thought he was cursed in Southeast Asia or afflicted by a supernatural poison.

Later he learned that he was under the Blood Curse.

The Blood Curse originates from an unremarkable small country in South America, crafted by a local chief skilled in medicine using a special poison insect and his own blood.

The Blood Curse is more terrifying than curses or supernatural poison. It is implanted during infancy, has a latent period of eighteen years, and when it acts, the poison has penetrated into the bones, infiltrating the blood.

To break the Blood Curse Poison, one must find a matching antidote.

The antidote is the essence of a woman whose blood can harmonize with the cursed blood, and there can be only one such woman in the world.

Few know what the essence truly is; Lu Jihan’s understanding is that it is a vitality or life force, circulating energy that drives the flow of blood and fluids.

The method of detoxification is likely through... sex.

The essence of the curse breaker enters the body of the cursed, causing the poison insect to crawl out and die.

Conversely, if the essence of a non-curse breaker enters the cursed’s body, it will trigger a backlash from the poison insect, leading to death by bleeding from the seven orifices, and the non-curse breaker will pay with their life.

In the vast sea of people, finding the woman to break the curse is extremely difficult, let alone finding a woman whose blood fuses with his to have children...

As he ages, Lu Jihan has to endure the Blood Curse Poison which grows more painful with each passing year.

It’s said that if the curse remains unchecked long-term, the cursed won’t live past thirty!

His two friends are worried for him, trying various methods, utilizing their connections to seek out all sorts of women, yet none have matched Lu Jihan’s blood.

As for how Lu Jihan was cursed as an infant, the age of the event has made it an unsolvable mystery.

Lu Jihan hasn’t mentioned the woman six years ago, because he can’t be sure that she is the antidote.

After all, the curse-breaking methods he found are just rumors and haven’t been confirmed; it’s all speculation...

Because it is truly dangerous, to this day he hasn’t tested the Blood Curse Poison on any woman for relief.

The woman from six years ago was just an accident...

In his contemplation, the phone on the coffee table vibrated—it was his assistant Shen Kang calling.

Lu Jihan answered, "Hello?"

Shen Kang said, "Mr. Lu, the information on that woman you wanted to investigate is here."

"Send it to me immediately."

"Okay."

Shen Kang sent the information to Lu Jihan’s email, and Lu Jihan quickly opened it to browse—

Song Yinyin, 24 years old, daughter of Song Huaizhong and his ex-wife Xiao Yueru, granddaughter of Xiao Zhengxiong, founder of Hero Group...

Halfway through browsing, Lu Jihan’s lazy, deep eyes narrowed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Song Yinyin turns out to be the granddaughter of Xiao Zhengxiong, the founder of Hero Group, though Xiao Zhengxiong passed away many years ago, his legend was occasionally mentioned by the elder generation around Lu Jihan.

Looking further, Lu Jihan’s gaze fixated on a particular line—
