Inside the room.
Fine sweat covered Su Qingyun's forehead.
The vortex in his body spun at high speed, and the movements of his hands never stopped.
Xiao Yi Xian lay on the bed, her entire body flushed red, her eyes hazy as she let out shockingly bold words.
"So early in the morning, Xiao Yi Xian and the others... Aiyo~ how embarrassing~ honestly!"
Little Lotus, the maid who had come at dawn to wake Xiao Yi Xian for medical consultations, heard it from outside the door. Her ears instantly turned red with shame. She stamped her foot, muttered a shy curse under her breath, and hurried away.
By the time she reached the front counter of the medicine cottage, several injured people were already waiting for treatment. Fortunately, their conditions could still be kept under control, so Little Lotus could only say helplessly,
"Xiao Yi Xian has business today and will not be seeing patients."
Inside the room, Su Qingyun also had no choice but to marvel at just how much toxic gas had settled inside Xiao Yi Xian's body, and how dense it was.
With Su Qingyun's current seven-star realm and strength enough to instantly kill an ordinary Dou Shi, he was actually worked until he was panting for breath.
However, Su Qingyun did not try to forcefully purge all the toxic gas in Xiao Yi Xian's body. Instead, he cleared the toxic gas from the meridians in some key areas.
Though years upon years of toxic gas had caused Xiao Yi Xian pain, it was also her advantage.
It was precisely because of such a heavy accumulation of toxic gas that, once Xiao Yi Xian gained control over it and then absorbed a large amount of poisonous substances, she could very easily break through into the ranks of the Jia Ma Empire's strongest—Dou Emperor! Perhaps even Dou Zong! Especially when Su Qingyun was cleaning out and suppressing the toxic gas for Xiao Yi Xian, every time he poured Immortal Qi Accumulation into her body, Xiao Yi Xian would let out an indescribable gasp.
Not only did this make Xiao Yi Xian's own sense of shame explode, it also made Su Qingyun think of those blissful days in the Magical Beast Mountain Range a few days ago...
Especially since Xiao Yi Xian had slowly begun to let herself go, captured by Immortal Qi Accumulation.
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian wished she could cling to Su Qingyun's body and press herself tightly against that peerless aura emanating from him.
This was the first time that, when Xiao Yi Xian's Eroding Poison Body erupted, someone had not feared her.
Instead, he had charged straight into that toxic gas and used his unique Dou Qi to suppress the poison in her body.
Aside from herself, no one would truly understand the weight of that scene.
It was as though she had seen the first light of a new life. It was a scene she had never imagined. At that moment, there had been only one thought in her mind: From now on, I won't be alone anymore! "Although the toxic gas in your body has already been suppressed, there is still a possibility that it will erupt again in the future. This poisonous constitution of yours is one in ten thousand in this world, and it will also be very difficult to eradicate. If you can try to control this toxic gas, that would be best."
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian, who had already returned to normal and was lying on the bed with a rather rosy complexion, Su Qingyun let out a breath. After taking a few more Dou Qi Pills to adjust himself, he slowly spoke.
Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips into a smile and bent her slender waist slightly. "Then I'll just follow you from now on, won't I? I won't leave you."
"You smell good, and you're Extraordinarily Talented. I won't lose out by following you. It's just that you never show your face. Does your appearance really need to be kept so secret? Even if you're very ugly, I won't dislike you."
Xiao Yi Xian widened her eyes. Right now, her curiosity about Su Qingyun's appearance had reached its peak! "As for my appearance... I do indeed have reasons I can't speak of... If there is a chance in the future, you will naturally know."
Su Qingyun shook his head.
"However, the world is unpredictable. Even if I let you follow me, there is no guarantee some accident won't happen in the future. If I cannot reach your side in time to help you suppress the toxic gas then, what will you do?"
Su Qingfeng's words made Xiao Yi Xian turn serious, but very soon, she lowered her head in dejection again. "But how am I supposed to control this toxic gas? It's too powerful. It was born with me. I can't suppress it at all. Once I try to come into contact with it, it only accelerates its eruption instead. I don't dare do that."
"It is precisely because you fear it that you cannot control it."
Su Qingyun said at this moment, "I actually feel that your Eroding Poison Body is somewhat similar to my Immortal Physique. I possess an Immortal Meridian, so the aura released through my body is Immortal Qi Accumulation. You, on the other hand, have a Poison Meridian, so the poisons and poisonous substances you take will ultimately be absorbed by the Poison Meridian and transformed into toxic gas. This toxic gas might not be any different from the Dou Qi cultivated by Dou Shi. It has merely gained an additional poison attribute."
"And the toxic gas accumulated in your body over more than ten years is at least comparable to a Dou Zhe... perhaps even the toxic gas of a Dou Shi or Da Dou Shi. Yet you have never cultivated before, so naturally, you cannot control this toxic gas."
"So, what you mean is, as long as I cultivate toxic gas the way those Dou Shi cultivate Dou Qi and learn to treat it as Dou Qi that belongs to me, in the end, I'll be able to make this Eroding Poison Body serve me?"
Su Qingyun's words opened the door to a new world for Xiao Yi Xian.
This was the first time she had ever heard such a saying.
In the past, anyone who knew about her Eroding Poison Body had only avoided her as if she were a plague, let alone become friends with her and tell her a solution.
But the young man had not distanced himself from her because she possessed this constitution that everyone hated and feared. Instead, his words revealed a feeling that her Eroding Poison Body was actually a gift bestowed upon her by the heavens; she simply had not used it well!
"Miss, please help us pass on a message. We are here on behalf of Green Mountain Town to thank Young Master Su. We are not here to cause trouble."
Outside the medicine cottage, several large men spoke respectfully to the pretty girl.
Behind them were many residents of Green Mountain Town.
Among the representatives at the front, a few looked somewhat familiar. They were precisely Ka Gang, Qing Xin, and Ling'er of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group.
Now that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had been destroyed and the Green Wood Mercenary Group had also suffered a great loss of Elemental Energy, their Blood Battle Mercenary Group could be said to dominate Green Mountain Town alone, and bright smiles covered all their faces.
Last night, some people had personally seen an Amethyst Winged Lion throw the corpses of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's experts in front of the entrance to Green Mountain Town under the cover of night.
In the past, Little Purple might have simply eaten their corpses, but after following Su Qingyun, it felt those things were filthy! However, Ka Gang and the others also inferred from this that it was the Amethyst Winged Lion and its master who had annihilated the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, removing a scourge for Green Mountain Town.
At this moment, the residents of Green Mountain Town came to the door one after another to express their thanks.
They even set off firecrackers outside the medicine cottage and shouted, "Many thanks to Young Master Su for removing a scourge for Green Mountain Town! Young Master Su is the benefactor of our Green Mountain Town!"
"We ask to meet Young Master Su! We have prepared a modest gift and hope Young Master Su will accept it with a smile!"
The Medicine Attendant, Little Lotus, truly could not stop them, so she could only hurriedly run back outside Xiao Yi Xian's boudoir and knock on the door with some resentment. "Xiao Yi Xian, cough, cough... you two have been doing that all night. Shouldn't you rest a little? The ox will get tired, and the river water will run dry. You still have to show some restraint. It's good for your health."
"Also, the important figures of Green Mountain Town are all here. They want to see Young Master Su, and I can't stop them. You two don't want the sounds of you doing that... to be heard by everyone, right?"
Inside the room, upon hearing Little Lotus's voice, Su Qingyun and Xiao Yi Xian's faces instantly overheated. (óò) What was this girl saying!
"Little Lotus, don't talk nonsense!!!"
