After that, the normal filming resumed.
The scene of the voodoo masters' battle wasn't included in the filming. After all, the scene was just too gory. Even those who often came into contact with special people found it hard to stomach.
Not to mention the audience sitting in front of their TVs.
They just showed off some minor sorcery to impress people and made sure the shots looked as beautiful as possible. After a few days like this, Niannian had gained quite a bit of faith.
Now she could break the curses on her eldest brother and mother.
Estimating that she had enough faith power, the group hurried back to the country.
After breaking the curses on her mother and eldest brother, Niannian promptly headed for Double - Hump Mountain.
As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Count Charlie sitting dejectedly on the ground, hugging a crystal coffin.
Count Charlie had some pretty bad dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were empty and listless. At this moment, he looked more like a beggar on the street than the handsome playboy he used to be.
Xiaotuanzi tilted her head. She didn't quite understand why this guy was still here, but out of politeness, she greeted him.
"Hello, big brother."
"Ah?"
Count Charlie looked up. When he saw Xiaotuanzi, he let out a howl and rushed up, hugging her thigh and bursting into tears.
"Where have you been? I've looked everywhere for you. You're really the best. You still came back to find me. My heartless ex - wife just dumped me after using me. Wuwuwu, she doesn't know how much I love her..."
Count Charlie rambled on and on with his love - struck nonsense. It was enough to make one's ears ache.
Niannian scratched her head. She could tell that Count Charlie was just making a lot of noise without actually crying. After howling for a long time, not a single tear fell.
This made her have no intention of comforting him at all. Moreover, it was really uncomfortable being hugged like this. She really wanted to break free.
But this guy seemed to have some super strength. He was much stronger than her.
"Could you let go of me first? I have something really important to do."
"Ah? Is there anything more important than my broken heart? Brother is going through a really painful breakup. Can't you just listen to me pour out my heart first?"
"I'm going to take care of someone, the man who showed up with that big sister that day."
Niannian still patiently explained in a soft voice. Count Charlie was reminded of the man who had stood beside his wife at that time. Then he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I've already taken that guy out. You don't need to go. Just stay here with me and let me finish talking."
"Eh?"
Xiaotuanzi was a bit confused. What did he mean by "taken out"? That guy seemed so tough. Could he really have been so easily defeated by Count Charlie?
Seeing that Niannian still looked confused, Count Charlie continued to explain, "About ten - odd days after you left, that guy came down the mountain. I was chasing my ex - wife and ran to the foot of the mountain. Then a group of people took my ex - wife away. One moment she was there, and the next she was gone.
They left the coffin for me. Without my coffin, I couldn't figure out where she was. So I just stayed there at the foot of the mountain, feeling so heart - broken.
I kept thinking, does she really love me? Have all these years we spent together been a lie? But we've been together for so long, and I've been so good to her. Even a stone should have been warmed up by now..."
Seeing that Count Charlie was about to go off on another tangent, Xiaotuanzi quickly asked, "So how exactly did you take him out?"
"Oops, I almost forgot the main thing. I was just sitting there at the foot of the mountain, trying to figure things out but getting nowhere. Then I saw that guy walking down the mountain with some strange stuff in his hand. I asked him what he was up to, but he ignored me.
I was in a really bad mood at that time. And since he showed up with my ex - wife, I thought he must have seduced her away. He's such a male home - wrecker...
In your Chinese words, it should be 'fox spirit'.
Anyway, I just didn't like this male fox spirit at all. So I snatched the stuff from his hand and just easily took him out. He was so easy to beat.
But looking at his state, he seemed to have been injured before. He looked so unhappy, so dejected, like he'd lost his true love. I think he must have been dumped by my ex - wife too. My ex - wife probably doesn't love him."
Count Charlie's mind was full of all these love - related things.
Then he rambled on and on about his lost love.
Niannian was a bit slow to react.
Count Charlie's words went in one ear and out the other. All she could think about was, "I've been deceived."
Vaguely, she remembered that the man had threatened her, saying that she had to come back within fifteen days.
But she'd been away for two months, and her family had been fine all this time.
So...
The curse he cast wasn't tied to her life?
Ah!
She really had been deceived!
Well, anyway, the fact that her family was cursed was real, and the curse had to be broken sooner or later. It wasn't a waste of time to be away for two months.
It was just really unexpected that that guy was so easily taken out by Count Charlie.
What she didn't know was that the man wasn't lying. He was just abandoned by the Holy Cult.
Without the Holy Cult's permission, the man had tried to kill Xiaotuanzi on his own, which had angered many in the Holy Cult.
Later, when the curse was broken, the Holy Cult had also played a part.
Because of the man's disobedience, the Holy Cult sent people to cripple all his skills.
That was why Niannian's family had been safe for so long.
The Holy Cult didn't know about the curse the man had cast.
He had secretly left a back - up plan, thinking that one day he could take Niannian for himself.
If the Holy Cult had known that killing the man before crippling his skills would lead to the death of Niannian's family, they probably wouldn't have done it.
Count Charlie's final blow was just a lucky catch.
He was facing a completely crippled and defenseless ordinary person.
But even at his peak, the man might not have been a match for Count Charlie.
Vampires were not as simple as they seemed.
"Master, save me!"
Xiaotuanzi put the matter of the man out of her mind. She was suddenly really annoyed by Count Charlie's nagging.
Today, Daoist Qingyun and the others had accompanied Xiaotuanzi here. Niannian had no choice but to turn around and ask for help.
But even Shen Weixun, who doted on her the most, looked helpless.
This made Xiaotuanzi really want to cry.
