In response to Jian Shen who sounded pleasantly surprised, Qingyu who explained this to him however wasn't.

"Yes. You can offset her bad luck by postponing it to the future. But every time you do this, the price to offset her bad luck for the same time will keep on increasing."

"Also, if you due to some reason forget to offset her bad luck again before the time you postponed it arrives, she and those others her will have to face all of the acc.u.mulated bad luck at once."

"You should also understand that only a part of the bad luck caused by the curse can be offset. This means that she and you will still be affected by the bad luck."

Nodding his head, Jian Shen asked, "Why don't I just remove her curse? Didn't the spirit say that I could do anything as long I have enough sacrifice?"

"You can remove her curse entirely, but the price needed to pay for that is too high for the current you. Unless you're willing to sacrifice me or Juew.a.n.g you won't be able to get rid of the curse."

Listening to her, Jian Shen couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly since he understood that she was angry.

"What's wrong, Qingyu?"

"Nothing."

"Really? Then why do you sound so angry?"

"This is just the way I always sound. Didn't you save that cursed woman already? Now go spend the rest of your life with her."

Chuckling and shaking his head, Jian Shen figured out that she was angry due to not having chosen to sacrifice Meirong and leaving the Trial of Sacrifice.

'Come on Qingyu, you're being too mean. How could I just abandon her?'

"Of course you wouldn't. She's more important than me after all. What would you have done if you were asked to choose between us and her, Jian Shen? Would you have still chosen to save her?"

Not answering, Jian Shen only said, 'I would've done the same thing if it was you.'

Since he said such a thing, Qingyu didn't continue showing her discontent over what he decided to do. Instead, she continued explaining about the Hourgla.s.s of Sacrifice.

"To use the hourgla.s.s what you can use as sacrifice must be something special or independent and not something ordinary. For example, using previous herbs won't provide you with much sacrifice because even if they are rare, they can be found in many places by many people."

"So, you have to choose between sacrificing a special treasure or your own vitality to obtain whatever it is you desire."

"My lifespan?"

"Yes. If you sacrifice all of the lifespan you currently have, you can even turn time back by one minute for everyone across the three realms."

Listening to this, Jian Shen didn't know if he was supposed to feel proud that his life can turn the time back by one minute or sad that that was all his life was worth.

"You should be proud because turning time back for everyone isn't something that can be done by anyone. The only reason you can achieve such a thing because your life is something only you can willingly sacrifice, and you possess the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline and are the wielder or a Heavenly Creation."

"And me! Don't forget about me!"

Adding herself to the conversation, Juew.a.n.g chose to finish the remaining explanation about the Hourgla.s.s of Sacrifice and how to use it.

This was also when Jian Shen and Meirong were kicked outside the trial.

...

"Hey what do we do?!"

"What are you talking about? We got rid of the cursed woman and that arrogant boy. We don't need to do anything to try and help them."

"Are you just stupid or were you dropped on your head when you were a kid? Without the two of them leading us, who will step up to lead the way for us?"

"Huh..... That... "

Talking between themselves about what they should do, the group who saw Jian Shen and Meirong disappearing inside the dark saw the entrance reopen.

"What the.... Does that mean more can enter the trial?"

"Naturally."

Shrugging while speaking, someone explained how impossible or would be for those two to finish the trial in such a short time.

After all, it hadn't even been five minutes since Meirong had tripped inside the trial and Jian Shen followed her.

"Don't do anything stupid. That boy was the strongest one of us and if he ended up losing the trial so soon do any of you think you can finish it?"

While the group was arguing on what they should do, out of the entrance two silhouettes walked out.

They were obviously Jian Shen and Meirong.

Jian Shen looked the same way he usually did, but Meirong who usually didn't show any expressions on her face looked like she was in heaven.

And it wasn't just her face which was s.h.i.+ning brightly due to her smiling happily, but even the way she walked made everyone think that she was very happy.

Due to this, the first thought everyone had was that she cleared the trial and obtained some great rewards.

The woman who pushed Meirong inside however didn't think so.

Just looking at her expression she could tell that Meirong wasn't happy due to obtaining some treasure. She was looking at Jian Shen as if he just won a war for her, ad the woman who pushed her inside the trial hated seeing that expression a lot.

If only she knew that such a thing would've happened, she would've entered the trial instead of pus.h.i.+ng Meirong inside it.
