You're Hard to Kill!

Li Xuanxiao poured all the antidote onto the other party's wounds, then asked solicitously:

"Does it hurt?"

The woman in red answered his question with silence.

Li Xuanxiao picked up another bottle of disinfectant, [Corrosive Water]

"Sizzle~"

The woman in red trembled slightly.

Is it working?

Li Xuanxiao began to reach for the inner armor on the woman's back to remove it. As his hand touched the inner armor, he could feel the residual warmth and powerful aura clinging to it.

The woman's exposed back was now fully revealed to Li Xuanxiao's eyes.

If one didn't look at the wounds, her back had beautiful, flowing lines. Every inch of her skin exuded a captivating luster, so delicate it made one want to reach out and touch it, yet fearing to desecrate such beauty.

From her slender neck all the way down to her waist, which could be held in one's grasp, the curve was just perfect.

Li Xuanxiao, however, was not in the mood to admire it. He held a small green bottle in his hand and sprinkled its contents onto the wound.

Anesthetic Powder.

A tiny pinch of it could knock an elephant unconscious.

But even half the bottle poured onto the wound had no effect whatsoever.

I'll give you something big!!

Li Xuanxiao mixed several medicinal bottles together.

"What is this?" the woman in red suddenly asked.

"Your injuries are too severe; these medicines need to be mixed together."

The woman in red fell silent.

Li Xuanxiao then smeared the multi-colored ointment onto her body.

Afterward, he wrapped it with bandages. I'll see if I can poison you to death!!

The woman gasped, and after a moment, slowly said:

"In the front."

The woman in red's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned around.

It was only then that Li Xuanxiao noticed a captivating blush had spread across her cheeks.

That blush was as tender and delicate as the petals of a peach blossom blooming in early spring, gently covering her skin, which was as fair and smooth as jade, adding a touch of allure and charm to her already beautiful face.

Li Xuanxiao's expression remained unchanged, thinking:

I don't believe I still can't poison you to death!

As Li Xuanxiao continued to apply the medicine.

The woman's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her exquisite face contorted slightly, as if enduring immense pain.

From her proud, upturned nose, a low, suppressed groan involuntarily escaped.

Thirty-year-old Crane's Blood, fifty-year-old Peacock Gall, sixty-year-old Heartbreak Grass, Poisoned Wine...

Li Xuanxiao mixed these substances together and then, without a sound, crushed a poisonous scorpion.

He sprinkled it evenly onto the wound, then took out some gauze and wrapped her wound.

"Hoo!!"

Finally, it was over.

The woman in red seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She lay on a rock in the cave, her gaze shifting slightly upward, landing on the young man who had helped her.

You're really hard to kill!!

Li Xuanxiao thought resentfully.

The woman in red only then remembered and reached out to adjust her clothes.

"The wound has been treated. Be careful not to make any sudden movements recently, and try to avoid combat. As for the internal injuries, I'm afraid I'm powerless to help; you'll have to rely on yourself. All I could do was stop the bleeding for now.

You should rest. I'll be leaving now, no need to see me out.

It's the rule of the jianghu; meeting is fate..."

Li Xuanxiao spoke to himself, then turned to walk out of the cave.

"Wait." The woman in red spoke softly.

Li Xuanxiao's expression remained unchanged. "You're welcome. No need for many thanks; it's all in the heart."

"Stop!"

Her tone turned a bit colder.

Li Xuanxiao stopped moving.

"I never said you could leave," the woman in red said coldly.

Li Xuanxiao, ever the pragmatist, sat back down. "May I ask, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"You're not allowed to go anywhere until I leave."

"Um... I should probably mention, we came to the Southern Border for training. If I don't return for too long, the elders in my sect will launch a large-scale search, and that might cause a lot of trouble."

Li Xuanxiao subtly reminded the person behind him.

"Just a minor elder at the Golden Core Stage." The woman in red's tone was full of arrogance.

Great! She already knows everything about me.

Li Xuanxiao obediently shut his mouth.

"I never owe anyone anything, you can rest assured," the woman in red said, then closed her eyes.

Li Xuanxiao didn't know if she had fallen asleep or was testing him.

He didn't dare to make any rash moves for the time being.

About a day passed like this.

The woman in red woke up again. This time, her complexion was much better, and her bleeding had stopped long ago.

"What medicine did you give me? My wounds are recovering well."

Li Xuanxiao's lips twitched slightly. He could only say it was good medicine from Shushan.

Damn it! Could she have a Poison Body?

Can she absorb any poison and use it as nourishment?

The woman in red sat up, seemingly cultivating to recover from her injuries.

Li Xuanxiao's head throbbed. If she was this terrifying even when heavily injured, how much more so when she recovered?

Thinking this, Li Xuanxiao stood up.

"I'm going to find something to eat outside."

After all, he was still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator and needed food to replenish his energy. This was a perfectly normal reason.

"And I'll collect some dew for you too."

Dew collected spiritual energy. For cultivators like the woman in red, dew was usually beneath them.

However, now that she was injured, the situation might be different.

The woman in red nodded.

Having received her permission, Li Xuanxiao walked out of the cave.

However, he had no intention of escaping.

What a joke. With this divine being sitting there,

Even if she let me run for a day, she could easily catch me.

As for seeking help from others, that was even more out of the question.

The leading elder, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, was no match for her in the woman's eyes.

Li Xuanxiao walked out of the cave, took out a blue bottle from his storage ring, and sprinkled its contents around.

This powder could attract ferocious beasts and poisonous insects in the forest.

After scattering it all, Li Xuanxiao slipped away.

He collected dew and waited for a while before putting on an act and returning to the cave.

Inside the cave.

Li Xuanxiao looked at the woman in red sitting on a rock.

Then he looked at the corpses of several large and powerful ferocious beasts.

"What... happened? Did you go hunting?"

Li Xuanxiao quickly accepted the fact that his plan had failed, putting on a top-notch performance.

"Something like that. It's good timing to replenish my body," the woman in red said calmly.

Thus, the guilty Li Xuanxiao took the initiative to butcher the beasts and cook them.

The small bottle with chili peppers on it, when poured out, revealed a red powder, indistinguishable from chili powder.

It even carried a slightly pungent smell.

In reality, it was Heart-Piercing Powder...

After a while, a pot of beast meat soup was ready.

Under Li Xuanxiao's cooking, it looked very appetizing.

The woman in red glanced at Li Xuanxiao, surprised that young people nowadays could cook so well?
