White-Haired Couple Skins Unlocked! Little Fairy: You Said I'd Be a Cool, Aloof Medical Fairy—How Did I End Up with a Couple's Hair Color?

Just then, as Little Fairy lowered her head, her gaze inadvertently swept over a lock of long hair hanging before her chest, and she froze.

"My hair..."

Her originally glossy black hair had somehow all turned silver-white!

However, it was not the dry, sickly white caused by fading vitality. Like An Yi's, it was a smooth silver-white full of strange vitality and luster!

Little Fairy was a little dazed. Grabbing her hair, she asked helplessly, "Th-this... what happened?"

"Oh, that? It was probably a side effect brought on by that drop of White Tiger Blood Essence."

An Yi explained as though it were nothing unusual. "My hair was black when I was little too, but after I accidentally fused with this bloodline, it turned white like this. You could say it's an external manifestation of bloodline assimilation."

As he spoke, An Yi leaned closer and looked at her with a grin. "What? You think white hair doesn't look good? I think it looks great. Don't you think this hair color looks especially high-end, like a true expert? After all, your big brother has white hair too."

Little Fairy pinched a snowy-white strand of hair, looking somewhat uneasy. With a girl's natural anxiety about her appearance, she murmured softly, "Do I... really look good like this? Won't I look like some old monster...?"

An Yi reached out and gently tucked a loose strand of silver hair behind her ear, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

"Of course you look good. How could matching me with the same limited-edition hair color possibly look bad?"

An Yi blinked shamelessly. "This is called looking like a married couple!"

Little Fairy's previously uneasy heart was instantly struck by those words, "looking like a married couple," and her cheeks flushed all the way to her ears.

She shot An Yi an embarrassed, annoyed glare, but she still could not suppress the sweetness in her heart and hugged him again like a koala.

"Alright, alright, stop hugging me. If you keep this up, I really won't be able to resist acting like a hooligan."

An Yi patted her head with an amused smile and gently pushed her away. "Go take a bath. During the transformation last night, you were in so much pain that a layer of blood filth and impurities seeped out all over your body. After I carried you back from the mountains, I originally planned to be merciful and wash you myself, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I reluctantly held back despite suffering such a loss."

An Yi pointed at the bathing tub behind the screen. "Now that you're awake, the water is still hot. Go wash up."

When Little Fairy heard him say he had wanted to bathe her personally, her heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at her perfectly intact clothes. Two red clouds immediately rose on her cheeks as she stammered, "Y-you didn't... didn't take off my clothes last night, did you?"

An Yi suddenly leaned forward, his deep blue eyes filled with mischievous amusement.

"What? So nervous... Were you reluctant to take them off, or did you just not want me to see?"

"You hooligan! I'm ignoring you!"

Little Fairy completely broke down. Her face crimson, she covered it with her hands, sprang to her feet like a startled rabbit, and rushed behind the screen.

Before long, faint rustling sounds came from behind the screen.

Having changed clothes, Little Fairy emerged from behind the screen somewhat awkwardly.

She had taken off her herb-gathering clothes, which were stained with dirt and blood, and replaced them with an elegant white dress tailored to fit, specially sent over by Ya Fei.

Dressed in white, with her long silver-white hair as soft as moonlight, Little Fairy had shed her former travel-worn appearance. At this moment, she exuded an ethereal, peerlessly beautiful aura untouched by worldly dust.

What was even more deadly was that, in her current white clothes and white hair, she and the casually seated An Yi beside her looked like they had been carved from the same mold—matching "couple skins"!

By then, Ya Fei had already instructed the kitchen to prepare a lavish lunch, and the three sat down to eat at a tranquil stone table in the courtyard.

At the table, An Yi once again activated his usual starving-ghost-reincarnated feeding frenzy.

Roast chicken, stewed meat, and all kinds of exquisite pastries vanished before him as quickly as if they were being conjured away.

Ya Fei had long since grown used to his wild eating habits, as though he had not eaten a full meal in several lifetimes. After the shock she had experienced at the restaurant, Little Fairy could now calmly pour him tea and water from the side.

After the whirlwind feast.

Ya Fei elegantly set down her chopsticks, wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Little Fairy with concern. "Little Fairy, has your physical condition... been completely resolved?"

An Yi swallowed the last bite of meat in his mouth, gulped down some tea to wash it down, and answered, "It's been temporarily resolved, I suppose. But this is only a suppressive measure that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. There's no telling how long it can last, so we can only take things one step at a time."

"Still..."

An Yi stroked his chin and looked Little Fairy up and down. "With that drop of my blood essence, I think her poison body can safely hold on until the Dou Zong realm, at the very least."

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

Ya Fei, who had been drinking from her teacup, choked immediately and began coughing violently. Her beautiful eyes widened round. "Dou... Dou Zong?! You're not joking, are you? It's that powerful?!"

"Tch, what's so surprising about that?"

An Yi waved a hand. "The Disaster Poison Body is a cursed talent that Heaven practically chases after to spoon-feed. Its cultivation speed is naturally outrageous. As long as there's enough poison, she won't even have bottlenecks. I reckon that in no more than a year, this girl's cultivation will surpass mine outright."

Even Little Fairy herself found it hard to believe. Her red lips parted slightly as she asked, "R-really? I can surpass you in one year?"

"As long as the Disaster Poison Body has enough poisonous substances that are strong enough to consume, raising cultivation is as easy as drinking water."

An Yi turned to her, his expression becoming serious. "But I still have to warn you again. Fast cultivation is a good thing, but don't get too impatient in your pursuit of power! You must remain vigilant at all times! If, while consuming poison, you notice even the slightest sign that the poison Dou Qi in your body is becoming difficult to control, stop immediately! You absolutely cannot force yourself, understand?"

Looking into his serious eyes, Little Fairy felt warmth bloom in her heart and obediently nodded. "Mm, I'll remember."

Watching from the side, Ya Fei felt somewhat conflicted and changed the subject. "Then... how long do you plan to stay in Wutan City?"

"There's no rush. We'll see how things go first." An Yi leaned back in his chair. "We need to observe her for at least half a year and make sure she truly has no rejection reaction before we leave. Besides, she can use this time to properly study that copy of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture."

"Half a year..." Ya Fei's eyes shifted slightly as she reminded him, "Then, judging by the timing, you might be able to wait for Jia Nan Academy's recruitment team. With your talent, it would be such a waste not to study at Jia Nan Academy."

An Yi shook his head. "Forget it. A place like Jia Nan Academy, which specializes in teaching little brats the basics, has no real use for a self-taught rogue like me."

"Still... there's a 'person' in that academy whom I'm quite interested in. When the recruitment team arrives, I can go take a test and put my name down at the academy first. Once I have time in the future, I'll wander over there at my leisure."

Little Fairy wore a strange expression. "You're not going to the academy... Don't tell me that after you rest up, you plan to run back into the Magic Beast Mountain Range and live like a wild man?"

"For me right now, the Magic Beast Mountain Range—an industrial grinder filled with experience packs everywhere—is the fastest and most satisfying blessed land for increasing my cultivation."

An Yi spoke as though it were perfectly natural. "As for Jia Nan Academy, I'll wait until I have the ability to protect myself before enrolling. I don't want to enter only to get stepped on and ordered around like some lackey because my cultivation is too weak."

Ya Fei's eye twitched as she asked curiously, "May I ask, Young Master An, what cultivation level counts as having 'the ability to protect yourself' in your mind?"

An Yi stroked his chin and thought seriously for a moment. "Hmm... At the very least, I need to be a Dou King, right? Otherwise, without wings, if I can't win, I won't even be able to run away. How embarrassing would that be?"

Ya Fei: "..."

Little Fairy: "..."

A sixteen-year-old Great Dou Master still felt unsafe and insisted on hiding until he reached Dou King before going out to school? Just how afraid of death was this guy?
