Learning of the Calamity Poison Body

After hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Jin was finally satisfied. Xiao Yi Xian struggled onto the Blue Eagle's back. "Let's go." The Blue Eagle slowly took flight. Xiao Jin leaped up and landed on its back, wrapping his arms around Xiao Yi Xian from behind. Her body stiffened at the gesture, then gradually relaxed. After all, in the Cave, they had done neither what they should nor what they should not. Now, it was just a hug. No big deal.

"Can't you fly?" Xiao Yi Xian leaned back against Xiao Jin, settling into his arms in a more comfortable position. Beneath them, the Blue Eagle slowly flapped its wings. A gale swept over them, and the Blue Eagle shot into the air, reaching an altitude of a thousand meters before long.

"Didn't I use up too much Dou Qi earlier? I'm sitting on Little Blue to recover some." Watching Xiao Jin lie so confidently, Xiao Yi Xian rubbed against him again to express her displeasure. Still, she did not expose him and let him hold her.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi Xian found that this feeling was rather nice. In the past, she had always lived alone. Although she had many admirers in Qingshan Town, living by herself was still dangerous. Every day, she had to guard against those coveting her beauty. Otherwise, why would a woman carry all sorts of poisons with her? It was all for self-protection. And why had the owner behind Myriad Medicine Pavilion taken a liking to her? Wasn't it because he wanted to raise her like a flower, ready to pluck whenever he wished? She had long grown tired of such a life. Originally, after obtaining the things in the cave dwelling this time, she had planned to take Little Blue and travel the continent. She had not expected things to turn out like this. Xiao Yi Xian sighed.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?" Xiao Jin softly asked beside Xiao Yi Xian's ear. Her ear tickled, and the warm breath he had just exhaled against it sent goosebumps over her body. "Can you not talk in my ear? I'm not used to it." Xiao Yi Xian turned and shot Xiao Jin a glare. "Not used to it? Then shouldn't I say a few more words so you can get used to it properly?" Grinning mischievously, Xiao Jin pulled Xiao Yi Xian back into his arms. She did not resist and let him hold her.

As she thought of every little moment since meeting Xiao Jin, her eyes reddened uncontrollably. A crystal-clear tear fell onto Xiao Jin's hand. The warmth of it left him at a loss. He slowly turned Xiao Yi Xian around. Seeing her tear-streaked face, his heart ached. He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and pulled her into his embrace. "What's wrong? How did you turn into a little kitty?"

Held gently in Xiao Jin's arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace, Xiao Yi Xian finally burst into tears. "I'm afraid. I don't know where my future path will lead." Large tears fell onto Xiao Jin's shoulder, soaking through his clothes in no time. "Don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll take responsibility for you. I'm the grandson of the Second Elder of the Xiao Family in Wutan City. From now on, the Xiao Family is your home too." Xiao Jin slowly stroked Xiao Yi Xian's long hair, comforting her.

"Then do you have other women? If you find other women later, will you abandon me?" Xiao Yi Xian had always felt somewhat inferior. Her cultivation talent was quite ordinary; she had only become a 1-star Dou Practitioner at twenty. Such talent was acceptable among ordinary people—not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. She would not have felt too inferior because of it. But after meeting Xiao Jin, that feeling of inferiority had been magnified without end. Before the two of them had become involved, it had not mattered. There were countless geniuses across the continent. Even if she encountered an absurdly gifted genius, she would only admire him, not feel inferior. Yet by a twist of fate, she had become Xiao Jin's woman, and that inferiority lingered in her heart. Xiao Jin was only sixteen or seventeen, yet he was already a Dou Wang. She could not imagine what heights he would reach in the future. But her own future was clear at a glance. At most, she would reach the Dou Master realm in this lifetime. She feared that Xiao Jin would remain youthful while her beauty faded away, and that he would gradually stop caring for her. That feeling would hurt more than death. It was not that she had already fallen in love with Xiao Jin; after all, they had only known each other for two days. She was simply a very traditional woman. Since she had already shared such a relationship with Xiao Jin, she naturally wished to stay by his side forever. But her own talent was poor, leaving her with no confidence that she could remain with him.

"Silly girl, how could I abandon you? You really have no confidence in your own charm. Actually, I fell for you at first sight. I just didn't know how to approach you. I was afraid you would ignore me, so I chose to bully you instead, so you would remember me." Xiao Yi Xian slowly pulled away from Xiao Jin's embrace and looked at him through tearful eyes. "Is that true?" "Of course it's true. From now on, you are my, Xiao Jin's, woman. I will protect you with my life." "But my talent isn't good. When you become stronger and stronger in the future, will you gradually grow distant from me?" A trace of gloom flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes as she softly asked Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin looked stunned. "Your talent isn't good? Who said that?" "I only became a 1-star Dou Practitioner at twenty. Is that good talent?" Once Xiao Jin understood Xiao Yi Xian's concern, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Who on the entire continent would dare say Xiao Yi Xian's talent was poor? As someone born with the Calamity Poison Body, she only needed to consume poison to rapidly grow stronger. In the original story, she had used only a few years to rise from a 1-star Dou Practitioner to a 4-star Dou Zong, leaving the protagonist Xiao Huohuo far behind. If the Calamity Poison Body had not reached its outbreak phase later on, Xiao Huohuo would not have found it easy to catch up to Xiao Yi Xian. Yet someone with such talent actually believed herself untalented.

"Xian'er, your talent isn't low at all. You possess a special constitution. It just hasn't awakened yet, which is why your cultivation talent seems ordinary. Once your constitution awakens, trust me, you'll quickly catch up to me." Xiao Jin told Xiao Yi Xian everything about her Calamity Poison Body. She was left dumbfounded, unable to believe it. As for the outbreak phase of the Calamity Poison Body, was that even a problem for Xiao Jin, who had a system?

Xiao Yi Xian wiped away her tears and stared blankly at Xiao Jin. "Everything you said is true?" Seeing that she still did not quite believe him, Xiao Jin softly said into her ear, "Isn't there a faint Seven-Colored line on your lower abdomen? That is a sign of the Calamity Poison Body. If you don't believe me, look through the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture you obtained. It also contains an introduction to the Calamity Poison Body and methods for identifying it." Xiao Yi Xian's little face reddened. She hurriedly took the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture from her Storage Ring and examined it carefully. Finally, at the end of the scroll, she found the introduction to the Calamity Poison Body.

"The Calamity Poison Body is a strange constitution capable of continuously devouring poison to rapidly increase one's strength. The method of identification is a faint Seven-Colored line on the lower abdomen. As one's strength continuously rises, it extends toward the heart. When the Seven-Colored line reaches the heart, the Calamity Poison Body reaches its greatest strength. At the same time, it suffers the backlash of countless poisons, making life worse than death."
