Seeing her trembling, Lu Chuan stopped in his tracks and spoke in a calm tone.

"I had no intention of killing you. The Woeful Poison Body is something you were born with; it's not your fault."

"My constitution is called the Woeful Poison Body? It doesn't sound like a good thing."

Xiao Yi Xian lowered her eyes slightly.

Lu Chuan began to explain to her what the Woeful Poison Body was.

"With your constitution, you are naturally immune to all poisons. Most poisons, miasma, and toxic fog in the world are not only harmless to you, but can even nourish you."

The deadly poison that ordinary people would avoid at all costs will be silently absorbed by your body if you touch it, breathe it in, or come into contact with it.

Even if you ingest poison, you can convert it into your own Dou Qi, rapidly increasing your cultivation level.

But once the toxins accumulated in your body reach a critical point, they will erupt. At that time, everything around you will be Toxin Erosion, leaving nothing but barren land.

You yourself will die as a result, and your death will be extremely gruesome."

Xiao Yi Xian stood there blankly, as if all her strength had been completely drained away at that moment.

All that remained in his eyes was a chilling coldness and utter bewilderment.

I see...

She always believed that she was a jinx, bringing disaster upon herself and her relatives and neighbors.

She hid everywhere, hated herself, suffered day and night, and feared that she would bring disaster again.

But the truth was so cruel it suffocated her.

Misfortune never befell her.

She herself was that calamity.

The deadly poison seeped silently from her body, devouring her gentle mother, the kind villagers, and destroying her only home.

She never intended to harm anyone, yet the root cause of all their deaths lay with her.

Her legs went slightly weak, and Xiao Yi Xian's thin body swayed precariously. Her eyes instantly turned red, and a mist of tears welled up in her eyes.

The girl squatted on the ground, burying her head in her knees, her sobs hoarse and broken.

"Why... why did you do this to me... why me of all people..."

Whenever she thought of her mother's gentle eyes, the kind-hearted villagers, and their painful passing, it felt as if a thousand needles were piercing her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Warm tears kept soaking through her sleeves, dampening the thin fabric.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Seeing her in such a broken and curled-up state, Lu Chuan couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

He didn't get too close, but half-squatted beside her, softening his tone and gently comforting her.

"This is not your fault, and I believe your mother has never blamed you either."

"But... it was the poison in my body that killed her."

Xiao Yi Xian's voice was muffled, with a heavy sob in it.

"She could have lived a good life without me."

Lu Chuan looked at the girl and continued:

"You can't choose your physical constitution. You were young then and didn't understand anything. You couldn't control the power within your body at all."

If your mother knew the truth, she would only feel sorry for you having to bear so much pain in the future, and she wouldn't resent you.

Of course, there was one more thing he didn't say.

Your mother certainly won't blame you, but whether those villagers who died tragically will blame you is another matter...

"How about it? Want to cultivate with me from now on? I can also find a way to fix your constitution."

As Lu Chuan finished speaking, a faint light shimmered in his palm.

A contract materialized out of thin air and hung quietly before Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.

Having done all this, he said no more, simply squatting in place, gazing gently and quietly at the somewhat disheveled girl, patiently awaiting her decision.

Xiao Yi Xian looked up blankly, her red eyes fixed on the floating contract and Lu Chuan's gentle gaze. Her lingering sobs gradually subsided.

Tears still clung to her pale cheeks, dripping gently down her chin.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was like a ray of light piercing through the deep darkness, shining directly into her gloomy world.

"Buzz--"

The contract was signed, and it slowly merged into Lu Chuan's body.

He reached out his hand to the girl who was still squatting on the ground.

Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at the outstretched hand.

She hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her icy hand and carefully placing it on top.

Lu Chuan grasped her hand and slowly pulled her up.

"From now on, you're mine. Come on, I'll help you awaken your Martial Soul."

He muttered something under his breath and glanced into the room.

Inside the room, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling were sitting quietly with their eyes closed, their Dou Qi circulating around them, their aura steadily rising, and they were still calmly condensing their Dou Qi Spiral. For the time being, they did not need his care.

After confirming that there were no changes on their side, Lu Chuan took Xiao Yi Xian's wrist and led her to the empty room next door.

"I believe you already know the process; just follow your instincts."

Lu Chuan threw out six Spirit Awakening Stone and began awakening Xiao Yi Xian.

"Buzz--"

Xiao Yi Xian felt a warm sensation all over her body, as if a warm current was gathering within her.

"It looks like something is about to come out."

"Don't restrict it, let it out."

The next second.

A stunningly beautiful figure quietly emerged.

With a slender figure and stunning beauty, she wore a light purple gauze dress that fluttered gently in the wind, exuding a cool yet alluring aura.

In stark contrast to the naive and timid girl before her, her eyes held no trace of weakness, only an indifferent detachment that seemed to look down upon all living beings.

A purple poisonous gas permeated the air around it.

"My Martial Soul is a person?"

Xiao Yi Xian blinked, looking somewhat confused.

Lu Chuan pinched his chin, carefully examining the illusory figure.

"Wow... that face shape, those eyebrows and eyes,"

He pointed to the phantom's cheek, then looked at Xiao Yi Xian's face, comparing the two.

"Exactly the same, except this is what you look like after you awakened the Woeful Poison Body."

Xiao Yi Xian turned her head slightly, glancing timidly at the figure behind her, and involuntarily shrank her neck.

"Is that... that's me in the future? I look so scary, my hair is all white."

Are gray hair scary?

Lu Chuan's gaze fell on the illusory figure's long, snow-white hair. He gently shook his head and said:

"I think it looks pretty good."

The figure was surrounded by surging purple poison, and her snow-white hair made her stunningly beautiful face appear even more cold and aloof, exuding a unique aura of looking down on everything.

The Xiao Yi Xian blushed slightly.

This Martial Soul projection is her future self. When Lu Chuan praised the phantom as beautiful, it sounded to her like a compliment to her in real life, and a hint of shyness rose in the girl's heart.

She quickly suppressed these chaotic thoughts; the most important thing right now was to deal with the curse on her body.

"My lord, how exactly should I deal with my Woeful Poison Body? Will it be very troublesome?"

Lu Chuan nodded.

"It is indeed a bit troublesome. The first problem can be solved by using Poison Pill, but the materials are very precious, and it will be difficult to collect them all."

The second is that you break through the level cap in the Douluo Continent and condense the Poison God's Godhood! Use the power of a world's rules to refine the poison of the Woeful Poison Body into your divine weapon and completely control it."

"Douluo Continent? A world? A place where Godhood gather? My lord... don't talk to me like that... I'm scared..."

Xiao Yi Xian secretly swallowed.

Having wandered and lived among strangers for so many years, she had already witnessed much of the wickedness of the world.

If she weren't quick-witted and cautious enough, she wouldn't have been able to survive this long with her outstanding looks alone.

Her past experiences constantly reminded her that the more you know, the faster you die.
