"Breathe... in... out..." In the dim room, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes lightly closed.

With his palm placed over his Dantian, he drew large amounts of Dou Qi energy into his body with every breath. After being tempered through several cycles by the Five Elements Dou Qi, it was absorbed into his Dantian, stabilizing the Dou Qi that Lin Feng had used pills to raise by two stars in succession.

"Phew..." After slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Lin Feng sighed. "The Five Elements Art, comparable to an Earth-tier low-grade cultivation method, truly is powerful. In less than half a day, it stabilized my somewhat unsteady Dou Qi. At this rate, I'll be able to enter Secluded Cultivation and attempt a breakthrough to Dou Ling within five days."

Then, Lin Feng looked toward the door at the figure that had been lingering outside. "Come in!"

"Creak..." A white figure slowly pushed open the door. After entering, she swiftly turned around and shut it tightly, then stood there without moving.

Seeing this, Lin Feng slowly rose and walked over to the figure in white. He gradually pressed her against the wall. "Xiao Yi Xian, it seems you've already forgotten how things felt during the day!"

"M... My lord, please don't torment me. I'm only a talentless little physician," Xiao Yi Xian replied softly, her expression full of grievance.

"Mm..." Lin Feng pulled her fiercely into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Pant, pant, pant..." Only when Xiao Yi Xian was nearly out of breath did he finally let her go. Her face was flushed, and her entire body had gone weak.

"Well? Are you still going to argue?" Lin Feng gave a wicked smile as he looked down at Xiao Yi Xian in his arms. "From now on, call me Brother Lin Feng, just like Qing Lin does."

"My lord..."

"Mm..." Another long, lingering kiss left Xiao Yi Xian completely drained of strength. She no longer argued with Lin Feng.

Seeing this, Lin Feng slowly lifted her in a bridal carry, walked to the bed, and gently set her down.

"B-Brother Lin Feng, I... I'm not ready yet." Xiao Yi Xian looked nervous, her small hands tightly clenched.

"Silly girl." Lin Feng tapped her nose. "Xian Er, I'm not that impatient."

"Mm." Realizing she had misunderstood him, Xiao Yi Xian shyly hurriedly buried her head beneath the blanket, though a trace of relief and disappointment intertwined in her heart.

With a light swipe over his Storage Ring, a colorful scroll appeared in Lin Feng's palm.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Feng still gently handed it to Xiao Yi Xian. "Xian Er, take a look."

"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian answered softly. A faint blush still lingered on her face, making her appear delicate and charming.

Steeling herself, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened the scroll and began to read it carefully.

Time slowly passed, and Xiao Yi Xian's expression grew increasingly ugly, her gaze becoming dazed. In the end, the scroll slipped lightly from her hand and fell to the floor, yet she did not notice.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's vacant eyes and the tears streaming endlessly down her face, Lin Feng gently pulled her into his arms.

"Ah, Bro... My lord, don't touch Xiao Yi Xian. I... I'm poisonous. Sob..." Feeling warmth envelop her, Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly tried to push Lin Feng away before she could enjoy it, not even having time to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mm!" Lin Feng held Xiao Yi Xian tightly, ignoring her weak struggles. He wiped away her tears again and stroked her soft, smooth hair. "Do you really think you can poison a Great Dou Master like me?"

"Besides," Lin Feng paused and looked at the now-quiet Xiao Yi Xian, "the Calamity Poison Body isn't without a solution."

"Brother Lin Feng, really?" Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly raised her tear-streaked little face, surprise filling her expression.

"As far as I know, there are two ways to solve it." After a pause, Lin Feng continued, "One is the Poison Pill Method, and the other is the legendary Heavenly Flame—the Netherworld Poison Flame."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the delight in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes instantly dimmed. Those were things she could never come into contact with, let alone obtain.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian become lifeless again, Lin Feng cupped her little face in both hands. "Don't worry. You still have me!"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian come back to herself, Lin Feng put on an arrogant air. "This lord became a Nine-star Great Dou Master and a Peak Third-grade Alchemist at the age of fifteen. I'm also about to break through to Dou Ling and advance to a Fourth-grade Alchemist—a Heaven's Favorite. With my help, won't obtaining a Heavenly Flame be easy?"

Seeing Lin Feng act like this, Xiao Yi Xian burst into laughter through her tears. Lin Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed inwardly. For someone who had remained single in both this life and his previous one, comforting girls was truly too difficult.

To him, it was practically comparable to attacking the Soul Clan right now.

"Rest easy. As long as you control the pace at which you consume poison in the future, there will definitely be a solution." Looking at Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Feng teased, "Perhaps I'll have to rely on Lady Xiao Yi Xian to protect me in the future. I only hope Lady Xiao Yi Xian won't forget this humble one when that time comes."

"Brother Lin Feng," Xiao Yi Xian coquettishly whined, then shyly buried her head in his chest.

Yet inwardly, she secretly made up her mind that when her poison body acted up in the future, she would leave alone. She would never let Lin Feng suffer harm from it.

The next morning, a ray of bright sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. "Mm..." Suddenly, he felt his arm had gone stiff.

There was something heavy pressing against him. "Xiao Yi Xian!?" Lin Feng was stunned. What had happened to him last night?

"Mm..." Perhaps Lin Feng's movement had been too great, for Xiao Yi Xian gradually opened her hazy eyes. "Ah..." Before her scream could escape, Lin Feng quickly covered her mouth.

"Th-This... Xian Er, I absolutely didn't do anything to you last night..." Lin Feng stammered, causing Xiao Yi Xian to giggle. Instead, Lin Feng looked like the one who had been bullied.

"Brother Lin Feng, from now on, all of me will be yours. It's just... just that you'll have to wait until Xian Er grows up." Xiao Yi Xian caressed Lin Feng's face brightly.

"Xian Er..." Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's radiant beauty, Lin Feng could no longer restrain himself. He lowered his head and fiercely kissed her red lips.

"My lord..." Lin Feng walked through the streets of Green Mountain Town, with Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian at his sides. People along the way occasionally greeted Lin Feng respectfully, and he merely nodded in response.

"Ever since Brother Lin Feng unified Green Mountain Town, public order here has improved so much!" Xiao Yi Xian softly remarked to the other two as she looked at the bustling streets. Qing Lin nodded in agreement beside her.

After taking Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin around the newly built Marketplace and buying them some beautiful jewelry, the three returned to the Maple Leaf Tower headquarters at the center of Green Mountain Town.

"Yao Le, spread the word. From now on, the Exchange Tower will be open to the public. However, the Points needed for exchanges..." Lin Feng paused, his tone faint. "Double them!"
