"Ah—ah—"


    She clutched her hair tightly, eyes shut, letting out an uncontrollable series of excited screams.


    She was incoherent!


    She didn''t even know how to describe her complex and excited feelings at this moment.


    Lin En stood there, wide-eyed, watching the woman suddenly act as if she were having a seizure.


    "System, is the curse really lifted?"


    "It''s lifted."


    "Then why do I feel like she''s even crazier than before?"


    "…"


    Finally, after a good while of incoherent shouting, the Blood-Clad Wraith seemed to lose her spirit, slumping to the ground, covering her face in a daze, and said:


    "Sorry, could you leave for a moment? Let me calm down first, my emotions are a bit turbulent right now..."


    Lin En blinked, nodding up and down in understanding.


    Then he quickly picked up the little girl and swiftly pushed the door open, leaving the room.


    After Lin En left, the Blood-Clad Wraith sat dazedly on the floor, staring at her beautiful reflection in the mirror.


    ...


    [Ding! You have completed the first stage of the task: The Grudge of the Blood-Clad Wraith. You have received 500 Skull Coins, 500 basic experience, and a special reward: Soul Lantern x1]


    [Ding! Blood-Clad Wraith''s favorability towards you +10]


    [Ding! Blood-Clad Wraith''s favorability towards you +10]


    Downstairs at the table.


    Lin En sat there restlessly, holding the little girl in his arms, his scalp tingling.


    He had been waiting here for almost half an hour.


    And ever since the task completion notification.


    Every minute, a [Favorability +10] notification rang in his ears.


    And just a few minutes ago.


    The favorability had already broken through the 300 mark!


    But he didn''t know what kind of psychological changes the Blood-Clad Wraith was going through upstairs, but no matter what, with so much favorability, he was sure he could get through the night safely.


    "She shouldn''t want to kill me anymore, right?"


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    Lin En pondered.


    Although the process was very convoluted.


    The final result was clearly moving in a positive direction.


    And as long as he got through tonight, once his teacher returned tomorrow, he wouldn''t have to be so on edge anymore.


    After all, his teacher''s strength was absolutely top-notch!


    And just at that moment.


    A fair hand slowly pushed open the door.


    Then a sweet and seductive voice came from inside.


    "Sorry to keep you waiting."


    Lin En immediately looked up towards the door.


    Under the dim candlelight, he saw the woman in a red dress pushing the door open, her wavy curls still cascading down, her face flushed with the unique blush of a mature woman, walking out gently.


    Seeing her at that moment, Lin En gave a thumbs up.


    Because compared to her previous disguise, after the curse was lifted, she became even more beautiful and real.


    Under Lin En''s gaze, the Blood-Clad Wraith sat across from him, her face slightly red.


    Unlike her previous sarcastic and sharp demeanor, the Blood-Clad Wraith now seemed somewhat like a gentle and charming neighbor.


    "Sorry."


    She lowered her head towards Lin En, covering her burning cheeks, her face slightly red as she said:


    "I apologize for my previous rude behavior towards you, and for the great malice I harbored against you for a while..."


    "I truly feel ashamed!"


    It''s like she''s a completely different person!!


    Lin En thought to himself, his mind racing.


    "It''s okay, it''s okay." Lin En coughed and said:


    "We''re neighbors, after all. Shouldn''t we live in harmony and understand each other?"


    [Ding! Blood-Clad Wraith''s favorability towards you +20]


    [Ding! Blood-Clad Wraith''s favorability towards you +20]


    This isn''t good...


    The Blood-Clad Wraith''s cheeks turned even redder, and she said, "Even though you say that, I still feel very guilty, and... and I didn''t expect you to actually be able to remove the evil curse from my body..."


    At this point, Lin En immediately raised a finger seriously and said sternly:


    "I only temporarily removed the curse for you, you must understand this, it''s not permanent. The curse removal lasts about 24 hours, and if it''s not removed again after 24 hours, you''ll revert to your original state."


    This point.


    Lin En had to make sure she knew.


    As a doctor, honesty is key!


    Of course, the most important reason is that if he didn''t explain it clearly in advance, and she reverted to her original state after a day, she might think he was deceiving her and then retaliate against him.


    The Blood-Clad Wraith was also taken aback and said, "Only twenty-four hours?"


    To be honest.


    After losing the torment of the evil curse, she felt unprecedented relaxation for the past half hour.


    And just thinking about those hundreds of years before made her shiver uncontrollably.


    She really didn''t want to go back to that state.


    Lin En nodded seriously.


    But seeing the Blood-Clad Wraith''s face about to show disappointment.


    Lin En changed his tone, closing his eyes, and said, "But although that''s what I said, I can help you remove it again every 12 hours, so in other words, it''s not impossible to make it permanent."


    "Really?!" The Blood-Clad Wraith''s eyes lit up.


    [Ding! Blood-Clad Wraith''s favorability towards you +20]


    [Ding! Blood-Clad Wraith''s favorability towards you +20]


    "That''s right." Lin En smiled slightly, giving a thumbs up, and said:


    "And since we''re neighbors, living so close, if you want to maintain your current appearance for a long time, you just need to come to me once a day for treatment."


    "And as a neighbor, I can even give you a 20% discount!"


    This way, there''s absolutely no problem!


    He just needed to use his limited curse removal ability daily, not only ensuring his safety but also providing a stable client and income source!


    No matter how you look at it, it''s a win-win deal!


    Damn, I''m so clever!


    "20% off?" The Blood-Clad Wraith rested her chin on her hand, smiling at Lin En, and said:


    "Does it still require payment?"


    Lin En immediately rubbed his shoulder, showing a slightly weak expression, and said with a bitter smile:


    "Ma''am, to be honest, although removing the curse seems simple, it''s really an energy-consuming task. Considering our neighborly relationship, I can indeed waive a few sessions for you..."


    "But subsequent sessions will still require a fee, after all, we''re just a small business..."


    Want it for free?!


    No way!


    The Blood-Clad Wraith smiled and said, "What price? Or what kind of compensation do you need?"


    Lin En thought for a moment, smiled, and raised a finger, saying, "1000 Skull Coins per session, with a 20% discount for you, making it 800 Skull Coins. How about it? This price is quite favorable, right?"


    For such a high-level wraith.


    Lin En didn''t believe she was really broke.


    After all, those like the Black Knight Demon Hunter used Black Skull Coins, clearly indicating wealth.


    However, Lin En didn''t set the price too high, as this was a long-term business, and the key was a steady flow, not being too hasty!


    But unexpectedly, the Blood-Clad Wraith shook her head with a smile, twirling her hair with her fingers, and said:


    "I have no money."


    Lin En was taken aback.


    "Ma''am, you''re joking." Lin En said with a wry smile:


    "Someone as powerful as you can''t possibly be broke. Don''t fool me."


    The Blood-Clad Wraith smiled, resting her chin on her hand, and said, "I really have no money because I used to just eat whoever had what I wanted, so I never needed to trade, and thus never had money."


    Lin En was horrified.


    No way!


    The favorability has already increased to such an extent.


    She wouldn''t still want to harm me, right?


    Lin En was sweating profusely and said, "No money... well, other things can also work, as long as the price is right, anything can be used for trade..."


    "Really?" The Blood-Clad Wraith raised her beautiful eyebrows.


    Lin En crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and said, "Really, whether it''s body parts, herbs, cursed items, or corpses, I''m open to offers, as long as the price..."


    But at that moment.


    Lin En suddenly felt a fragrance wafting over.


    He opened his eyes abruptly.


    Exclamation marks appeared above Lin En''s head.


    He saw that at some point, the Blood-Clad Wraith had leaned over the table, her nose less than a centimeter from his, her lips slightly parted, and a teasing fragrance wafted over.


    Her eyes were seductive, her breath fragrant as she said:


    "So, how much do you think I''m worth?"
