Douluo Traversal: I Pull Out a Dou Technique and You Don't Explode? Part 47

This counted as officially leading her onto the path of cultivation.

Then came what surprised Liu Bai: in less than a single day, Xiao Yi Xian successfully drew Qi into her body and cultivated her first wisp of Dou Qi. The next few days were the same, her speed astonishingly fast.

At this rate, she would only need a dozen or so days to break through to the first stage of Dou Qi.

At this speed, she would probably complete the Dou Qi stage in less than a year!

Exaggerated!

The reason Liu Bai had been so fast back then was not only his own talent. Part of it was because Soul Power had already existed within his body.

Xiao Yi Xian was a pure talent monster!

The Woe Poison Body was terrifying indeed!

And she had not even started consuming poison yet.

No wonder that, in the original story, during the few years Xiao Yan spent cultivating at Jia Nan Academy, she could soar directly from not even being a Dou Zhe to a Dou Zong!

Terrifying indeed.

Three days slipped by quietly. The two finally reached the destination of their journey. When they were still several kilometers away, Liu Bai and Xiao Yi Xian came out.

A pair of enormous purple wings suddenly unfurled behind his back. With a light flap, he rose into the air.

It consumed quite a bit of Dou Qi, but that was nothing to him now that he was a Dou Ling. Its speed was also extremely fast, at least several times faster than this flying magical beast. It should rival an ordinary fifth-tier flying magical beast!

As expected of a flying Dou Technique refined from the wings of a fifth-tier magical beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle. It was truly terrifying.

He flew over to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Come on, I'll take you down. We'll fly the rest of the way ourselves."

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes, but still held out one hand.

Liu Bai easily swept her into his arms.

"Showing off. I think you just wanted to try out the flying Dou Technique you just got and experience flying for yourself."

Liu Bai gently held the beauty in his arms.

The two left the flying magical beast and flew toward the city whose outline was already visible ahead.

"Hahaha, now that I can fly, of course I have to experience it. Haven't you heard a saying?"

"What saying?"

"Flying is the highest state of enjoying freedom!"

The two moved incredibly fast through the sky and soon arrived above Graphite City!

This was what it felt like to look down upon the world from the air.

The two landed and put away the Purple Cloud Wings.

"That felt amazing. I can finally fly."

They smiled at each other, then both looked toward the magnificent city before them.

A wave of heat rushed toward them. Blazing sunlight poured down from the sky, baking the earth beneath their feet until it was scorching hot and making the air warp slightly.

Liu Bai did not mind. After all, he was fire-attributed himself and possessed Beast Flame. In this region, he even found it comfortable, and his Martial Soul became a little more active.

But Xiao Yi Xian could hardly take it.

"So hot, so hot. Why is it so hot here?"

"Come on, come on. It's hot enough to kill us here."

Dragged along by Xiao Yi Xian, the two hurried into Graphite City. Before long, there were gradually more pedestrians around them.

The people here dressed very boldly. Most men went bare-chested, while women covered only the crucial parts of their bodies, leaving most of the rest exposed.

Slender waists and long, taut legs gave off a unique exotic charm.

The two entered the city without any trouble. With Liu Bai dressed as he was, no one would make things difficult for them, nor would anyone dare to.

Xiao Yi Xian looked around.

"No wonder the clothes we bought before were all like this. So it's this hot over here."

Xiao Yi Xian raised one hand and lightly fanned herself. Beads of fragrant sweat trickled down her forehead.

Liu Bai took a folding fan from his storage Soul Tool and handed it to her.

"Here, fan yourself for now. Let's find an inn and settle in first, then change clothes. We'll be staying here for quite a while from now on."

Xiao Yi Xian accepted the White Jade Folding Fan.

"Oh, this fan's pretty nice. But this style... it wasn't a gift from some girl, was it?"

Liu Bai widened his eyes. Was it that obvious?

"That's right. My little sister gave it to me."

Well, Xiao Yue'er. Calling her his little sister was not wrong.

"I see."

Xiao Yi Xian did not seem disappointed. She opened the fan, lightly fanning herself as she searched the surroundings.

The two quickly found a suitable inn and checked in.

Once inside, the sunlight was blocked out, and the temperature immediately dropped quite a bit.

Only then did Xiao Yi Xian let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Bai took out the desert-style clothes they had bought earlier in Black Rock City and walked over to her.

"Come on, little Xian'er~. Hurry up and try these clothes. You'll feel cool the moment you put them on."

Xiao Yi Xian accepted them, a flush rising to her cheeks.

"Pah, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Your eyes kept drifting toward those women on the road just now."

Liu Bai rubbed his nose.

"You can't blame me for that. It's only human nature, only human nature. Besides, I'm doing this for you, little Xian'er."

"Hmph, you're just lustful."

"No, no, no. Can a man's business be called lustful? I was simply looking with appreciation."

Xiao Yi Xian carried the clothes into the bedroom, and rustling sounds came from within.

Liu Bai waited quietly outside. A moment later—

The instant Xiao Yi Xian stepped out of the bedroom, Liu Bai's breathing stopped.

She was clearly still unaccustomed to the outfit. One hand unconsciously pinched the hem of her skirt, a faint blush colored her cheeks, and her eyes darted away shyly with the bashfulness unique to a young girl.

Beauty That Stirred the Soul

"Um... isn't this outfit a little too... too..."

She did not say the rest, but Liu Bai could no longer hear anything anyway.

She wore a fitted purple gauze dress with an exotic style, wrapping her delicately developing, graceful figure just right.

Most eye-catching was the smooth little waist exposed beneath it. Her skin was fine as snow, and her waist was so slender it seemed as though it could not fill one hand. It rose and fell gently with her somewhat nervous breathing.

A wisp of gauze of the same color was wrapped around her wrist, fluttering with her movements.

On her lower body was a boldly designed pair of purple gauze harem pants. The soft, hazy fabric made her straight, slender jade-like legs appear and disappear beneath it, adding several degrees of mystery and allure.

Sunlight streamed through the window lattice and fell over her, gilding her in a soft golden glow.

The purple gauze shimmered faintly in the light, making her already fair skin appear even more crystalline and translucent.

Though she was still young and had yet to fully mature, her peerless, pure aura, blended with the exotic charm brought by this outfit, made her seem like an elf stepping out of an ancient mural, or a meticulously carved jade statue suddenly granted life.

She was too beautiful.

Liu Bai only felt his throat grow dry. He stared without blinking. It was not as if he had never seen beautiful women before—Yao Yue, Yao Ye, Sister Yanyan, and Sister Lingling were all peerless beauties—but Xiao Yi Xian was even more beautiful.

"H-how... how is it?"

Xiao Yi Xian grew even more embarrassed beneath his fixed gaze. Her voice softened, carrying a hint of unease and expectation.

Only then did Liu Bai snap out of it, his heart beating a little fast.

He opened his mouth, but the words seemed to catch in his throat. "Beautiful!"

He nodded forcefully. As though two words were not enough, he added,

"Little Xian'er, you're just too beautiful!"

He spoke with complete sincerity, without the slightest exaggeration.

Xiao Yi Xian had been naturally beautiful to begin with. Now, in this distinctive outfit, her charms were displayed to the fullest. Her youthful innocence carried the first bloom of grace, while her purity mingled with a touch of captivating allure. Contradictory yet harmonious, she stirred the soul.

Hearing such direct and passionate praise, the blush on Xiao Yi Xian's face deepened, but a happy smile rippled through her eyes.

She lightly spun in a circle, her gauze skirt and loose pants fluttering with a faint fragrance.

"Really? It is... much cooler, but I'm still a little unused to it."

"You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it. You'll get used to it after seeing it a few more times!"

Liu Bai immediately replied, his eyes still shining.

"This outfit is especially suited to the climate here, and..."

He paused before saying with complete honesty,

"It really looks especially good. Like a fairy."

"Smooth talker."

Xiao Yi Xian shot him a coy glare, but the faintly upturned corners of her lips and her brightened eyes showed how much she enjoyed the praise.

Liu Bai scratched his head and teased,

"From now on, I only need to look at Xian'er. Compared to you, what are those crooked melons and misshapen dates outside?"
