Woeful Poison Body: How Do I Deserve This?!

That evening, everyone sat around a table in the courtyard and had a hot meal.

The dishes on the table were simple, but the lively atmosphere made up for it.

Qing Lin kept pestering Qin Yu to tell him about her experiences during this period.

"Qing Lin, be good. Your brother has something else to say. Let Sister Zi Yan tell you. She knows everything."

"?"

Zi Yan, who was engrossed in eating, looked up blankly, still with food in her mouth.

"What are you looking at? It's decided then and there."

Zi Yan pointed to herself in disbelief, her astonished gaze clearly saying:

Me?

Zi Yan, who was initially furious, immediately changed her expression after receiving a drop of Qin Yu's blood, patting her chest and declaring that she would take care of the matter.

It's just storytelling! She's the best storyteller!

By the way, what was the name of the giant snake that Qin Yu killed at Gemer Volcano again?

Latad? Rakkad? Or Ratane?

Who cares? It's dead anyway, let her call it whatever she wants.

After the meal, everyone dispersed. Qin Yu followed Xiao Yi Xian through the courtyard's connecting corridor and discovered that the courtyard had indeed expanded considerably during the time he was away.

His original little house is still there, but the surrounding empty courtyards have been opened up and merged into a rather spacious courtyard.

Qing Lin and her daughter continued to live in their previous room, while Hai Bo Dong occupied a side room with a small courtyard.

Zi Yan chose the outermost room, saying it would be convenient for her to go out and play.

"... You guys have basically expanded my base!"

Qin Yu looked around and sighed.

Xiao Yi Xian pushed open the door and glanced back at him:

"It was Elder Hai who suggested it, saying that since those courtyards were just sitting empty anyway, why not connect them together? Aunt Qing Lu helped find the people."

Qin Yu nodded; Hai Bo Dong was indeed a reliable old man.

He followed Xiao Yi Xian into the room and closed the door behind him.

After the two sat down, Qin Yu didn't waste any words and immediately revealed two clusters of flames: the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Volcanic Rock Flame.

The lotus-green and dark red flames intertwined in his palm, two completely different auras coexisting harmoniously in the same space.

Xiao Yi Xian was already used to this routine. She skillfully took off her outer robe, sat cross-legged on the bed, and turned her back to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu placed his palm on her back, and two clusters of flames slowly flowed into Xiao Yi Xian's body through his palm.

Originally, the Woeful Poison Body, which had been expanding due to Xiao Yi Xian's improved cultivation, sensed the invasion of the Heavenly Flames again and subconsciously tried to resist.

Hmph, do you think the same tricks will work on me again?

I'm not the same person I used to be!

But before it could cause any disturbance, a second flame surged in.

The two fires combined in a double attack, layering and compressing the burgeoning poisonous power inward.

The Woeful Poison Body struggled for less than five seconds before two large hands simultaneously pressed its head down, forcing it back deep inside, where it dared not move an inch more.

The whole process went much more smoothly than Qin Yu had expected.

Qin Yu withdrew his hand, and the two clusters of flames withdrew from Xiao Yi Xian's body. Her complexion visibly became rosier, and her breathing became even and steady.

How are you feeling?

Xiao Yi Xian turned around abruptly, without even putting on her outer robe, and stretched vigorously:

"It's much more comfortable than before. I've accelerated my cultivation during this period, and my Woeful Poison Body has begun to expand, but it's always been within my control."

"I haven't even used that Yin-Yang Suppression of Calamity Pill you left behind last time."

Qin Yu smiled upon hearing this:

"It's a good thing that we didn't need it; being prepared is one thing, and being unprepared is another."

He paused, then added:

"Moreover, the Yin-Yang Suppression of Calamity Pill is a top-grade sixth-rank pill, capable of suppressing a wide variety of things. Keeping it might come in handy in the future."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and said nothing more.

Then, Qin Yu's mind stirred, and dark golden Dou Qi condensed in his palm. With a gentle stroke of his fingertip, a tiny wound appeared.

He activated the Qilin Power, forcing out the special Qilin Blood.

The dark golden blood condensed into a blood sphere about the size of an egg in the air, which floated in mid-air.

Xiao Yi Xian's gaze fell on the pool of blood, her lips pursed, and a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes:

"Why put in so much? A few drops of blood were effective before."

"Give it a try."

Qin Yu raised his chin, signaling Xiao Yi Xian to release her Poison Dou Qi to test its effects.

Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment, but still did as instructed.

She raised her arm, and a deep purple Poison Dou Qi slowly condensed and emerged from her palm.

However, just as that wisp of Poison Dou Qi left Xiao Yi Xian's body, the dark golden blood sphere suspended in mid-air suddenly lit up.

A pale golden light shot out from the surface of the blood sphere, precisely enveloping the Poison Dou Qi.

Then...

That Poison Dou Qi disappeared.

It evaporated without a sound, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Xiao Yi Xian was stunned.

She tried to activate her Poison Dou Qi again, but found that her body was completely locked up by something.

The poisonous power that could usually be summoned at any time was now all hidden deep within the dantian, not daring to move at all.

She tried again, but it still didn't budge.

"Well..."

Xiao Yi Xian raised her head, her expression somewhat complicated.

"I can't let it out."

Qin Yu's gaze fell on the dark golden blood sphere that was still suspended in mid-air, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

When facing the Fallen Heart Flame, the Woeful Poison Body was able to threaten Xiao Yi Xian's body with a violent outburst, forcing him to stop.

But faced with the Qilin Blood, this thing didn't dare to move an inch.

It didn't even dare to show its face, let alone riot.

Woeful Poison Body: You're really my living father! Torturing me with Heavenly Flames wasn't enough, you even used the Qilin Blood on me! What have I done to deserve this?

With a thought, Qin Yu manipulated the ball of dark golden blood to slowly drift closer to Xiao Yi Xian.

The Xiao Yi Xian's body visibly tensed up as she watched the approaching mass of blood, her throat bobbing slightly.

Qin Yu slightly raised his finger, and the blood stopped less than three inches from her palm.

"No need to rush,"

Qin Yu noticed her hesitation, and with a flick of his wrist, the blood clump was drawn back, condensing into a thumb-sized dark golden blood bead, which he then placed into the jade bottle.

"I'll hold this for you first, and you can try it out when you feel it's suitable."

Xiao Yi Xian breathed a sigh of relief, her tense shoulders slowly relaxing.

She glanced at the jade bottle containing the dark golden blood bead in Qin Yu's palm and whispered:

"Zi Yan's true form is Magical Beast, and she's already at the Dou Huang Realm. She replenished herself to that extent just by absorbing a few drops of your blood."

"I'm only Five-Star Dou Wang right now. If I try it rashly... I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, you'll just waste your energy."

After listening, Qin Yu put the jade bottle away and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"It's alright. At least this way, as long as I'm by your side, your Woeful Poison Body won't be able to flare up."

"Um."
