Xiao Yi Xian's Frankness, the Idea of Replacing the Poison Pill with Nether Poison Flame

"What does 'sparring' mean?" Xiao Yi Xian blinked, asking somewhat confusedly.

Xiao Yan was a little unsure how to explain, so he touched his nose and decided to use gestures to illustrate his point.

He raised both hands, one hand making an OK sign, and the other hand with the index and middle fingers together, thrusting them into the "o" of the OK sign.

Although Xiao Yi Xian had never experienced these things, she still knew a little about them. Her face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist to stop him.

"I... I understand." A hint of shyness appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's elegant face, and her voice stammered slightly.

Xiao Yan nodded and continued, "That's how it is. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had a sparring session with Queen Medusa... and that relationship has continued to this day."

Xiao Yi Xian's breath hitched, an unspeakable pain spreading through her heart, and waves of bitterness welling up in her nose and eyes.

"Congratulations... I've heard that Queen Medusa is very beautiful." Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, forcing a smile.

Xiao Yan, without a smile, asked, "Are you... unhappy?"

"Don't rush to answer. I want to hear the truth. Tell me your real thoughts, okay?"

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips and uttered a few words softly. "Unhappy."

"What?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.

Xiao Yi Xian took a deep breath, raised her head, as if she had mustered up her courage. "I said, I'm not happy!"

"I'm not happy to hear that you're sparring with Queen Medusa!"

"I like you. I arrived before her. I'm not the little doctor who needs your constant protection anymore. Why don't you give it a try with me first!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian gave a bitter smile, "That's right, if the Woeful Poison Body issue isn't resolved, there's no possibility between us."

Tears welled up in her eyes until they overflowed. She looked at Xiao Yan, tears streaming down her face, and said, "I don't mind if you have other women. A man as outstanding as you can't be monopolized by someone else."

I'm just... a little upset...

It hurts that others can be close to you, but I have to be careful even when I have daily contact with you, let alone close physical contact.

Xiao Yan fell silent.

He never expected that the Xiao Yi Xian, who was very quiet after awakening her Woeful Poison Body in the original story, would now say things that would shock everyone.

but...

"Negative-distance contact, doesn't sticking out your tongue count too?" Xiao Yan pointed out the key point.

Xiao Yi Xian's sorrowful emotions were interrupted, and she choked for a moment before asking, "Then would you be willing to kiss me?"

Xiao Yan retorted, "Is my opinion of any use? Aren't you going to explain what you mean by 'you've secretly kissed me many times'?"

Xiao Yi Xian turned her head away, remaining silent when faced with difficult questions.

Xiao Yan touched his nose, his feelings quite complicated.

Although having a harem is the dream of most men, he himself had also dreamed of having women on both sides.

But the problem is, Xun'er is still waiting for him. Isn't he being a bit of a jerk?

Xiao Yan fell into deep thought, feeling a chill run down his spine at the thought of facing Xun'er after arriving at the Jia Nan Academy.

"Xiao Yan, how did I wake up? Did you save me?" Xiao Yi Xian suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and didn't hide anything, "Yes, I saved you with the Nether Poison Flame, but it was only my own flame."

"As for how I came to have this flower... it all started from where it broke."

"With the help of the Snake-People Tribe Snake-People Tribe's Medicinal Herbs, I broke through to the Seventh Tier in my alchemy skills."

Afterwards, I went to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital to attend the Alchemist Conference, during which I met many people, including an elder Jia Xingtian. He traded information about the Nether Poison Flame with me, and it was from him that I heard some information about you..."

Xiao Yan slowly began his narration, starting with the Snake-People Tribe, then moving on to refining Tier 7 Medicinal Pill at the Alchemist Conference, the Misty Cloud Sect's annihilation of Yan Luotian and the Soul Hall Protector, and finally his departure from the Chu Yun Empire, where he found the Nether Poison Flame according to the map.

He spoke for a long time and in great detail.

Xiao Yi Xian listened attentively without showing any impatience. She would smile when she heard Xiao Yan showing off, her breathing would quicken with worry when she heard he encountered an enemy, and she would pout and remain silent when she heard Xiao Yan sparring with Medusa, which was quite amusing.

"Finally, I used the Nether Poison Flame to absorb the poison on your skin, then I placed my palm against yours and sealed the Nether Poison Flame inside your body. The Poison Fire stopped releasing toxins, and you naturally woke up," Xiao Yan finally finished speaking.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, noticing a piece of information revealed in Xiao Yan's words.

"The Nether Poison Flame can absorb the toxins from my Woe Poison Body... In other words, as long as you master the Nether Poison Flame, even if I don't master the Woeful Poison Body, we can still have close contact, right?" Xiao Yi Xian's tone gradually became excited.

After vaguely opening her heart to Xiao Yan in his Xiao Yan, she seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

Xiao Yan:?

"That doesn't seem to be the point," he said, reminding him. "Didn't I mention that I refined a pill for you before we came to the Chu Yun Empire? Shouldn't you want to know more about it?"

Xiao Yi Xian also realized that something was wrong with her; she seemed to always think strange things when she was with Xiao Yan.

For example... curling Xiao Yan up on the wooden bed and then 'sparring' with him...

Xiao Yi Xian was startled by her own strange thoughts. After suppressing some of her expectations, she defended herself.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for the pills you prepared for me, but I cannot accept them," she refused.

Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes dimmed as she said, "The higher my cultivation level, the faster my Woeful Poison Body will erupt."

"Although you mentioned the Poison Pill Method, we don't know when we'll be able to gather all the necessary materials."

"I don't want to die so soon; I want to spend more time with you, so I can't accept the pills you offer."

Xiao Yan closed his mouth, inwardly blaming himself for not considering things thoroughly.

Although he has collected all three kinds of Heavenly Flames, he has not yet obtained the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva and the Seventh Rank Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core.

If Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation level were to increase too quickly, causing her Woeful Poison Body to erupt before all the materials were gathered, that would be truly tragic.

Moreover, in the original story, obtaining the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva and the Magic Core of the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast also involved some luck. He was confident he could get them, but he dared not say for sure.

However, he didn't actually place all his hopes on the original storyline.

Besides the methods for obtaining the two key items as described in the original work.

What he truly relied on was obtaining the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva and the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core through the channels of the Ancient Clan during the Ancient Jade transaction.

Given the capabilities of the Ancient Clan, these two items were definitely not considered precious, and he shouldn't be refused if he wanted them.

However, he now has another idea.

The Poison Pill Method is indeed powerful, but it will limit the strength of the Woe Poison Body.

Conversely... what if we used Nether Poison Flame instead?

Both can absorb toxins to become stronger, and they can also release toxins themselves; it's not an exaggeration to say that they're like the left foot stepping on the right.

Given the compatibility between the Nether Poison Flame and the Woe Poison Body, it might be able to directly boost Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation to the High-Star Dou Venerate!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan began to get excited.

He might end up needing a bodyguard at the Dou Venerate level!
