I Like You

"Will you be my woman?" Xiao Huo smiled, feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms as he directly pinned Xiao Yi Xian to the ground.

Xiao Huo kissed Xiao Yi Xian's red lips, his hands slowly moving toward the slight swell of her chest as he gradually pulled apart her white gauze dress.

Xiao Huo kissed her snow-white collarbone, as though he wanted to devour Xiao Yi Xian completely.

"Don't..."

"Brother Xiao Huo... you're bullying me." Xiao Yi Xian's delicate body trembled slightly as she looked at Xiao Huo with pitiful eyes and spoke in a soft voice.

Without realizing it... even though Brother Xiao Huo was taking advantage of her, Xiao Yi Xian did not find it all that unpleasant. She even felt a little happy and enjoyed it.

Had she fallen for Brother Xiao Huo?

But...

She had the Calamity Poison Body. She had been destined to be hated by countless people since birth. Even if Brother Xiao Huo did not dislike her, what about the future? One day, he would still leave her, and she would be alone again.

"Alright, don't cry." Xiao Huo smiled and held the girl's soft body in his arms. It seemed that sleeping together would need to be considered carefully.

"I like you." Xiao Huo spoke softly, looking at the girl in his arms. Feeling Xiao Yi Xian's soft and delicate heart, he could no longer care about anything else.

With him here, no one in this world would ever be allowed to harm Xiao Yi Xian again!

That bastard Xiao Yan was not worthy!

"Wuwu..." Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes glistened as she raised her head slightly, a little surprised. "Brother Xiao Huo, is what you said... true?"

"Silly girl, of course it's true. Marry me in the future, alright?" Xiao Huo smiled and took Xiao Yi Xian's jade-like hand.

"No... wuwuwu..."

"Don't lie to me. I have the Calamity Poison Body. No one will like me, no one..." There was still some sadness in Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes. She hated her own constitution somewhat.

What was so good about the Calamity Poison Body?

"Are you willing to believe me?" Xiao Huo looked at the girl in his arms, holding Xiao Yi Xian's jade-like hand with determination in his eyes.

"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly. She only felt... so warm. Even though Xiao Huo had forcibly kissed her, she did not seem to resist it as much as she had before.

Could it be that Brother Xiao Huo truly was the boy she was destined to meet and fall for?

"I can cure your Calamity Poison Body." Xiao Huo looked at Xiao Yi Xian, whose eyes were red. With the system here, it would definitely be able to cure Xiao Yi Xian's constitution!

"Really?!" Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes lit up as she looked at the young man before her in delight. He already possessed Dou Emperor cultivation, so naturally, his words could be trusted!

Such a heaven-blessed genius had reached Dou Emperor cultivation while still only in his teens. What could possibly be impossible for him?

Perhaps...

Her Calamity Poison Body truly could be cured!

"Of course it's true. I can even help you become an alchemist." Xiao Huo smiled. "But it will take some time. My cultivation is still too low right now."

"I'll wait for you." Xiao Yi Xian nodded obediently, lightly pursing her lips as she revealed a breathtaking smile. Her eyes were filled with delight.

How did Brother Xiao Huo know her so well?

He even... knew that she wanted to become an alchemist.

Mm! The boy she was destined for had to be Brother Xiao Huo! Emotion surged in Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes as her bright, watery eyes gazed at Xiao Huo.

"But you have to be my girlfriend." Xiao Huo smiled at the girl in his arms. Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks turned crimson, and she looked somewhat shy.

He had asked so suddenly...

"Hmph, I don't want to!" Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly lowered her head. The blush on her pretty face had already spread down to her neck. "It's too soon! I need to think about it."

"You don't like me?" Xiao Huo asked. After all, he had spent too little time with Xiao Yi Xian; naturally, it would not be so easy to win her over.

"Ah?" Xiao Yi Xian cried out softly, somewhat stunned. Why had Brother Xiao Huo suddenly asked her that? She still did not know how to answer.

"Let's get the stone boxes first." Xiao Huo turned around, releasing Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist before opening the second stone box. As expected, it contained Eagle Wings (Purple Cloud Wings), a High-grade Profound Tier Flying Dou Technique!

"You big idiot!" Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety. She lightly stomped her foot, anger rising in her heart. Brother Xiao Huo truly had a blockhead's brain.

If he had just asked her one more time, she would definitely have agreed...

He had simply stopped asking... What if Brother Xiao Huo really misunderstood what she meant? What if he no longer wanted her? Xiao Yi Xian felt somewhat panicked.

Hmph, idiot! Idiot! Big idiot! Serves you right for being single!

Xiao Huo opened the third stone box and obtained the High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique, Raging Lion's Roar, completely ignoring the troubled Xiao Yi Xian behind him.

When pursuing a girl, one had to feign retreat in order to advance. Xiao Huo naturally understood Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts. If he kept pressing forward, he would instead lose the initiative.

If he retreated slightly, Xiao Yi Xian would start overthinking things. That way, Xiao Huo would hold the initiative.

After all, Xiao Huo was an old hand at this.

"System, help me comprehend Raging Lion's Roar and Purple Cloud Wings. Then I'll be able to fly in the future." Xiao Huo hurriedly urged. After all, he could not keep revealing his Dou Emperor cultivation, or how would he show off?

"Ding—Comprehension successful!"

"Ding! The host has gained Xiao Yi Xian's favorability. You may consider completing the optional mission to obtain Xiao Yi Xian's body. However, you must not increase Hate Points, or the mission will fail and the system will be unable to level up."

"Note: Only by leveling up the system will there be a chance to cure the Calamity Poison Body. Host, you must work hard, keep adding more girls to your harem, and do not miss a single Miss System." The system's voice rang out.

"What a beast!" Xiao Huo sighed. Why was this system even more impatient than he was?

Xiao Yi Xian was the true female lead—how could she be won over so easily?

Let her develop a little more first. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Ding—Main Quest: The host must thoroughly beat up Xiao Yan in the Monster Beast Mountain Range. Reward: experience points, System experience points +50."

"Even if you hadn't said so, I was planning to deal with him." A cold glint flashed through Xiao Huo's eyes. How could that bastard Xiao Yan possibly escape?

He dared bully Xiao Yi Xian? Just wait until Brother Xiao Huo beat him to death in the Monster Beast Mountain Range!

But... how exactly should he do it?

A smile curled at Xiao Huo's lips. He had already come up with 108 methods to make Xiao Yan beg for life yet be unable to die!

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first," Xiao Huo said. "If you don't like me, then... I won't come disturb your life anymore."

Xiao Huo started walking forward, silently counting down in his heart.

"Brother Xiao Huo, I agree!" Xiao Yi Xian called out sweetly. No longer caring about anything else, she hurried after him and wrapped her delicate hands around him, refusing to let him leave even a single step.

"I won't let you go... You're bullying me again... sob..." Tears shimmered in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. When Xiao Huo said he was leaving, she felt as though something important had suddenly vanished from her heart...

In that instant, she became certain that the person she liked was Brother Xiao Huo.

"Hm?" Xiao Huo looked back.

"Brother Xiao Huo, I like you..." Xiao Yi Xian said aggrievedly. Holding Brother Xiao Huo like this made her feel so safe...

"Silly girl, me too..." Xiao Huo turned around with a faint smile, pulled Xiao Yi Xian's soft, delicate body into his arms, and without hesitation kissed the girl's red lips...
