Can You Help Me Solve the Woeful Poison Body?

After learning that the young man before them was actually a Dou Emperor-level expert, Mu She and his son Mu Li were terrified out of their wits.

Mu She was sprawled on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, his head striking the ground with loud bangs. "Spare my life, Lord Dou Emperor! Spare my life, Lord Dou Emperor! This lowly one truly did not know you were a Dou Emperor expert! If I had known, even with a hundred times the courage, I would never have dared attack you!"

Mu Li was trembling so badly that he could barely speak. Kneeling on the ground with snot and tears smeared across his face, he cried, "Spare me, sir! I have a foul mouth! I shouldn't have insulted you! Please just let me go!"

However, Xiao Yun's expression remained cold as he watched the father and son kowtow and beg for mercy.

Hadn't they been quite arrogant just now? Hadn't they said they were going to kill him?

Now they knew fear? Now they knew how to beg? Too late!

Xiao Yun did not waste any words. He raised his hand and struck out with his palm.

Before Mu She and Mu Li could even scream, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless on the spot.

The remaining mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were so frightened that their legs went weak. They knelt on the ground without daring to even breathe loudly, terrified that they would be next.

Xiao Yun merely swept them a glance and said coldly, "Get lost."

As if granted a pardon, the mercenaries scrambled to their feet and fled. They ran faster than rabbits, and in the blink of an eye, only Xiao Yun and Xiao Yi Xian remained on the entire street.

Xiao Yi Xian stood rooted to the spot for a long while, unable to recover her senses. She looked at the two corpses on the ground, then at Xiao Yun, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Just moments ago, she had been worried that Xiao Yun would be unable to defeat the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Yet in the blink of an eye, he had simply slapped both father and son to death.

Moreover, the strength Xiao Yun had displayed was actually at the level of a Dou Emperor.

That was a Dou Emperor! There were only a few such existences in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

Xiao Yi Xian drew a deep breath, feeling as though her entire worldview was about to collapse. This young man, who looked about her age, was actually a Dou Emperor expert?

"Y-you really are a Dou Emperor?" Xiao Yi Xian could not help asking again, her voice carrying a hint of disbelief.

Xiao Yun nodded. "More or less."

"What do you mean, more or less?!" Xiao Yi Xian could not help rolling her eyes, though the shock in her heart did not lessen in the slightest.

Just as she was about to ask something else, a pale golden screen lit up before Xiao Yun.

[System Notification: Interaction mission with Xiao Yi Xian completed. Xiao Yi Xian's favorability +50.]

[Mission reward issued: Random trait draw chance ×1. Confirm draw?]

When Xiao Yun saw the notification, delight rose in his heart. He immediately thought, Confirm draw.

[Randomly drawing trait... Drawing... Draw successful!]

[Congratulations, Host, on successfully copying: Woeful Poison Body Exclusive Antidote Pill Formula (Improved Version). After consumption, it can control the toxicity of the Woeful Poison Body, allowing the bearer of this constitution to continue increasing their strength by consuming poison without suffering toxic backlash.]

When Xiao Yun saw this pill formula, he froze for a moment before becoming overjoyed.

The Woeful Poison Body was Xiao Yi Xian's greatest talent, but it was also her greatest hidden danger. In the original story, Xiao Yi Xian had suffered greatly in order to control its toxicity.

This improved antidote pill formula could not only resolve the hidden danger of the Woeful Poison Body, but also allow her to continue increasing her strength by consuming poison without suffering backlash. It could be called a perfect solution.

With this, he could completely remove Xiao Yi Xian's worries.

At that thought, Xiao Yun raised his head to look at Xiao Yi Xian and said, "You have the Woeful Poison Body, don't you?"

The moment Xiao Yi Xian heard those words, she froze. Her expression changed at once.

"Y-you... how did you know?"

Her eyes were filled with shock and vigilance as she looked at Xiao Yun. She had never told anyone about the Woeful Poison Body. Even she herself had only discovered it by accident. How could someone she had known for less than a day possibly know?

"You don't need to care how I know." Xiao Yun waved his hand, his tone calm.

"I only have one question. If I said I could help you resolve the hidden danger of the Woeful Poison Body, allowing you to continue consuming poison to increase your strength without suffering backlash, would you be willing to believe me?"

Xiao Yi Xian stared at him with wide eyes, her mind in complete turmoil.

Resolve the hidden danger of the Woeful Poison Body? Let her continue consuming poison to increase her strength without suffering backlash?

She had never even dared dream of such a thing. The Woeful Poison Body was like a blade hanging over her head, and every day she worried about when the toxicity would completely consume her.

Yet this young man before her claimed that he could solve it?

"Y-you're not lying to me, are you?" Xiao Yi Xian's voice trembled, her expression filled with anticipation and a measure of disbelief.

"Why would I lie to you?" Xiao Yun smiled.

"If you are willing, you can stay by my side for three months. Within those three months, I will help you completely resolve the problem of the Woeful Poison Body."

"Three months?" Xiao Yi Xian was stunned when she heard that.

"That's right, three months."

Xiao Yi Xian fell silent for a moment. Looking into Xiao Yun's calm eyes, she pondered it over and over for a long time.

A Dou Emperor expert had no need to make up such a lie to deceive an ordinary girl like her.

Besides, he had seen through her Woeful Poison Body at a glance. Perhaps he really did have a way to solve it.

"Alright, I agree." Xiao Yi Xian nodded.

"But if you're lying to me, I..."

"I won't lie to you." Xiao Yun interrupted her, his tone earnest.

"For these three months, stay by my side. I will help you completely resolve the problem of the Woeful Poison Body."

After hearing that, Xiao Yi Xian felt much more at ease. Looking at Xiao Yun's young face, she suddenly felt that he did not seem as mysterious as she had imagined.

Although his identity and strength were terrifyingly high, the way he spoke and acted was quite reassuring.

"Oh, right, what's your name? I can't keep calling you 'hey,' can I?" Xiao Yi Xian asked.

"Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun of the Xiao Clan in Wu Tan City."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and committed the name to memory.

Because she knew that if everything Xiao Yun had just said was true, and he was not merely deceiving her, then from this day onward, her life would likely undergo earth-shaking changes!
