So She Was the Jealous Type

"Oh?"

Xiao Yi Xian arched a delicate brow. She had imagined the current situation before, but she had not expected it to actually happen.

Under the silver moonlight, a girl in a golden dress had appeared strangely, blocking her path. Beneath the golden robe, a pair of jade-like, smooth, snowy calves appeared and vanished from view.

Moonlight spilled over the girl's exquisite face, making her seem like a goddess beneath the moon—radiant and mysterious.

"May I ask why Miss Xun Er is blocking my way?"

Xiao Yi Xian watched Xiao Xun'er approach, a hint of mischief flashing through her eyes.

Xiao Xun'er was famously jealous. How could Xiao Yi Xian not know what she had come for?

Flames burned in Xiao Xun'er's pale golden eyes as she fixed Xiao Yi Xian with a fierce stare. "Who are you? Why did you come out of Brother Xiao Yan's room?"

"Who am I?"

Xiao Yi Xian pinched her chin, her head seemingly full of question marks, as though she had no idea what was going on.

"Speak!"

Xiao Xun'er's aura surged sharply, and the pale golden flame in her hand looked ready to fly out at any moment.

"Mm, do you want to know what our relationship is?"

"A lone man and woman, in the dead of night..."

Before Xiao Yi Xian could finish, a flame brushed past her hair from who knew where. A lock of purple hair instantly burned to ashes.

As Xiao Yi Xian looked at the pale golden flame before her, a trace of wariness flashed through her eyes. After all, this was the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Though it was not as mysterious as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, it had possessed a fearsome reputation since ancient times. Moreover, this Heavenly Flame was the inherited flame of the Ancient Clan, and very few had ever been able to subdue it.

The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was said to be a terrifying Heavenly Flame capable of burning even Dou Qi. To someone like her who feared fire, it was practically her greatest nemesis.

Legend had it that when the first owner of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame used it, he had directly burned the space created by a Dou Saint expert into nothingness.

Although the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame controlled by Xiao Xun'er could not possibly possess such power, Xiao Yi Xian dared to guarantee that if it touched her, she would absolutely die without even a body left to bury.

"Ahem, calm down. I'm Xiao Yan's sister, though not by blood!"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er filled with fury, Xiao Yi Xian decisively backed down. At the same time, she grumbled inwardly, Seriously, she can't even take a joke.

"Oh? Why doesn't Xun Er believe you?"

Xiao Xun'er wore an unconvinced expression as she smiled at Xiao Yi Xian. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in her hand continued to burn.

"Uh..."

Looking at the smiling Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian felt a chill run down her back. She had really only been passing through. She was not interested in men.

"Xun Er..."

A familiar voice came from afar. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in Xiao Xun'er's hand vanished in an instant, and her overwhelming aura disappeared as well.

The corner of Xiao Yi Xian's mouth twitched at the sight. That change of expression had been unbelievably fast.

"Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Xun'er lightly touched her lips and tilted her head. She regretted that Brother Xiao Yan had come over.

Maybe if it had been a little later, when the mood was right...

Xiao Yan wiped the moisture from his forehead and looked at the two women confronting each other, completely baffled.

Not long ago, he had still been diligently cultivating when his master suddenly popped out, tossed him his clothes, and told him to hurry over.

"How about it, you brat? Haven't I been good to you? No need to thank me."

Yao Chen's smug voice sounded beside Xiao Yi Xian's ear, as though he was especially delighted by this dramatic confrontation.

"Xun Er, Sis, what are you two doing?"

As an old-fashioned straight man through and through, Xiao Yan did not sense anything wrong with the scene at all.

"Sis?"

Xiao Xun'er did not answer Xiao Yan's question. She was utterly confused about when he had gained a sister.

Xiao Yi Xian directly gave Xiao Yan a light knock on the head, completely ignoring the murderous gaze behind her as she said calmly, "Be good, little brother!"

Xiao Yan blushed slightly as he looked at Xiao Yi Xian so close before him. Turning his head away, he muttered, "What sister and sister? I'm actually much older than you."

Seeing the scene that looked like flirting, a dark line crossed Xiao Xun'er's forehead. Smiling sweetly, she walked over, grabbed Xiao Yan's ear, and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you'd better explain this to me!"

"Ow, ow, ow..."

Xiao Yan rubbed his ear innocently. He had absolutely no idea what had happened.

Inside the ring, Yao Lao stuffed medicinal ingredients into his mouth one after another, his eyes fixed on the dramatic scene before him.

"I'm dying of laughter!"

Yao Lao nearly burst out laughing as he watched Xiao Yan. He had never seen anyone so slow to react.

Xiao Yi Xian smiled as she walked up to Xiao Xun'er. Looking at the beautiful young girl before her, a trace of admiration flashed through her eyes. At such a young age, she already had the bearing of a peerless beauty.

Xiao Yi Xian quietly leaned close to Xiao Xun'er's ear and whispered, "Don't worry. I won't make a move on your Brother Xiao Yan. He can only be yours, okay?"

Xiao Yi Xian kept breathing into Xiao Xun'er's ear as she said such embarrassing words, making Xiao Xun'er's face flush red.

Xiao Yan stood beside them, stunned by the sight, his eyes fixed on them...

Xiao Xun'er glanced at Xiao Yan, who was staring straight at them, then pushed Xiao Yi Xian away with a red face and ran off...

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at Xiao Yan and said calmly, "Why aren't you chasing her?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, I'm going right away!"

Although Xiao Yan did not know what had happened, he knew that chasing after Xiao Xun'er now would definitely lead to something good.

Xiao Yi Xian watched the two figures leave and smiled faintly. It was a pity she was no longer a boy. Otherwise, perhaps...

She withdrew her gaze and headed toward her little home in the back mountain. Sooner or later, someone would be by her side too.

Preferably someone cute...

After returning to the cave, Xiao Yi Xian took out the Ancient Pill. The black pill emitted poisonous gas, as though it were constantly drawing her in.

A sudden icy sensation in her mind suppressed her body's craving, and her blood-red eyes gradually returned to purple.

"Huff!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a deep breath. If she had swallowed it whole just now, the poisonous gas would definitely have erupted from her again. The toxicity of this Ancient Pill was certainly not weak.

Xiao Yi Xian carefully cut off one-tenth of it and put away the rest. Still, that spiritual power from earlier had truly been miraculous.

If her astonishing soul power had not suppressed her body's craving just now, then...

This world did not merely contain the mysterious existence known as Dou Qi. The mystery of soul power was no less profound than that of Dou Qi.

Xiao Yi Xian swallowed that small portion of the Ancient Pill. A tyrannical surge of poisonous gas instantly flooded into the strange meridians and eight channels of her body, while the Sword Canon within her began to circulate madly.

Strands of pure Dou Qi traveled through her meridians into the sword case before finally gathering within the Qi vortex in her dantian below her navel.

Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation also began to rise rapidly. Three-Star Dou Zhe...

Four-Star Dou Zhe...

Five-Star Dou Zhe...

Peak Five-Star Dou Zhe...

After rising three minor realms in one breath, Xiao Yi Xian exhaled a dense mouthful of purple gas.

The purple gas splattered onto the ground, and the gray stones instantly blackened and corroded...

Xiao Yi Xian opened her eyes. A flash of purple glinted in her violet pupils, and she could not help stretching lazily. She felt that she had become stronger again.

This was the cultivation method of the Calamity Poison Body. But she could not keep doing this endlessly, or another eruption would come. Gradual progress was crucial.
