Flame City Again

Under Xiao Yi Xian's guidance, Jia Lie Jun flew to a small valley and slowly landed. The little valley was filled with rare and exotic herbs, and even the air was suffused with a faint medicinal fragrance. Jia Lie Jun took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed, losing himself in the crisp, clean air.

"Well? This place I found isn't bad, right?" Xiao Yi Xian said proudly, a faint blush still on her face, adding a trace of charm to her pure, otherworldly beauty. In the days that followed, the two lived like an immortal couple. They cultivated during the day, and at night they walked hand in hand beneath the stars. Sometimes, when Xiao Yi Xian was in the mood, she would even dance for him. During this time, Jia Lie Jun also gave the Divine Movement Chapter to Xiao Yi Xian. Under his guidance, her progress could be described as astonishingly fast; in just a few short days, she had grasped the basics. Jia Lie Jun's cultivation also smoothly broke through to Three-Star Dou Shi.

"Xiao Yi Xian, I'm back." Carrying a wild boar over his shoulder, Jia Lie Jun called toward a hastily built little wooden hut. Seeing no one come out to greet him, panic gripped his heart. He hurriedly threw down the boar and rushed into the hut. He saw Xiao Yi Xian curled up on the bed, drenched in sweat and looking deeply pained, while a dense layer of black mist enveloped her delicate body.

The Calamity Poison Body is acting up. Jia Lie Jun's heart tightened. He hurriedly pulled Xiao Yi Xian into his arms, channeling cyan Dou Qi into her body. But the moment his right hand touched her, that cloud of black mist surged wildly into his palm. Before long, five black pills had actually appeared in the center of his hand. Jia Lie Jun immediately understood. This should have been the effect of the Ancestral Talisman. Gradually, Xiao Yi Xian's body began to relax, her breathing became steady, and her knitted brows slowly smoothed out. Seeing this, Jia Lie Jun let out a breath of relief.

Xiao Yi Xian slowly woke up. She propped herself up and looked around, then seemed to remember something and cried out in panic, "Jia Lie Jun, where are you?" When no one answered, she grew even more anxious.

"Xiao Yi Xian, you're awake." A familiar voice entered her ears. Xiao Yi Xian looked toward the sound and saw Jia Lie Jun walking quickly through the door. Only then did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jia Lie Jun, are you all right?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a worried expression. She vaguely remembered that when the Calamity Poison Body had acted up, Jia Lie Jun had been right beside her.

"What could happen to me?" Jia Lie Jun shrugged and said casually.

"There's something I want to ask you." After pondering for a moment, Jia Lie Jun asked in a low voice. Although he knew about Xiao Yi Xian's constitution, he needed her to say it herself. Only then might he be able to break the shackles in her heart.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian stared at Jia Lie Jun for a while, then sighed. A trace of dejection appeared on her face as she said lightly, "I have a very terrifying constitution. Once this constitution is fully awakened, anyone who comes into contact with me will be poisoned to death by me. Now you're afraid of me too, aren't you?" After saying that, she revealed a slight smile, but that smile contained a deep sorrow.

"Hey, and here I thought it was something serious. Come, look at this." Jia Lie Jun said as if he did not care at all, then stretched out his hand.

Xiao Yi Xian took the black pills from Jia Lie Jun's hand with a puzzled expression and sniffed them. Immediately, she said in shock, "Isn't this the poisonous gas that seeped out of my body? How did it form into pills?"

Jia Lie Jun said mysteriously, "I also have a mysterious constitution. It can absorb the poisonous gas you release and gather it into pills. Looking at it that way, the two of us really are a match made in heaven."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks instantly flushed rosy red, and she said in embarrassed anger, "Who's a match made in heaven with a big villain like you? Aren't you ashamed? This young lady is a fairy in everyone's eyes. A mere mortal like you isn't worthy of me."

"Yes, yes, I'm a mere mortal. But I wonder who it was yesterday who kissed this mere mortal." Jia Lie Jun looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a smiling expression, the meaning obvious without words.

Xiao Yi Xian immediately flew into embarrassment and anger, her little fists striking Jia Lie Jun's chest again and again. Jia Lie Jun took the chance to tightly wrap his arms around her slender waist. In a gentle voice, he said, "Don't be afraid. It's just a little Calamity Poison Body. I'll definitely work hard at cultivating and cure you. If Dou Zong isn't enough, then Dou Zun. Until I can cure you. From now on, don't think about anything else. Leave everything to me, all right?"

"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian buried herself in Jia Lie Jun's embrace and only felt that this chest was so warm, reliable, and safe. Jia Lie Jun smelled the faint fragrance drifting from Xiao Yi Xian's hair, and his heart felt especially peaceful.

"Xiao Yi Xian, in a few days, I may have to leave." Jia Lie Jun's face was filled with reluctance. He also wanted to stay by Xiao Yi Xian's side forever, but he could not. As long as Xiao Yan was not dealt with, he would never feel at ease. And besides, there was also Xiao Xun Er, who was probably still constantly thinking of killing him.

Xiao Yi Xian's body stiffened, and the arms she had around Jia Lie Jun tightened slightly. She gave a soft mm, her voice full of reluctance.

A bright full moon slowly climbed into the sky, freely scattering its radiance. Inside the wooden hut, Jia Lie Jun sat to the side, looking tenderly at the sleeping Xiao Yi Xian, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. Then he sighed, bent down, and gently kissed Xiao Yi Xian on the forehead. After covering her properly with the blanket, he quietly walked out the door. He took one deep look at the wooden hut that carried the memories of him and Xiao Yi Xian, then his body trembled slightly. Slowly flapping his wings, he flew high into the sky.

Inside the wooden hut, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly threw off the blanket. Barefoot, she rushed out of the hut and ran all the way in the direction Jia Lie Jun had flown, until his figure disappeared at the edge of the sky.

System, cross over to the Wu Dong Plane. Location: Great Yan Dynasty, Flame City, Jia Lie Jun silently recited in his heart.

"Understood, host. This crossing will consume 300 energy points."

Damn it, the energy points consumed by crossing are getting higher and higher. Jia Lie Jun cursed inwardly. As the number of times he used it increased, Jia Lie Jun discovered that the higher his cultivation, the more energy the crossing consumed. It was just like transporting goods—the heavier the goods, the higher the fee. Immediately after, a flash of white light appeared, and Jia Lie Jun vanished from the air.

Unlike the Dou Qi Continent, where the sky was filled with stars, Flame City was currently under the blazing midday sun.

Looks like it's not just Earth that has time differences. There are time differences between planes too, Jia Lie Jun secretly complained.

After entering the Curio Building, Jia Lie Jun wandered around once but still did not find Master Yan. He pulled over a servant and asked, "Do you know where Master Yan is?"

When the servant saw that it was Jia Lie Jun, he put on a fawning expression and said, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Jia Lie Jun? Master Yan has been at the Symbol Master Association recently. He instructed us to tell Young Master Jia Lie Jun to go to the Symbol Master Association to find him once you returned."

"All right, I understand." Jia Lie Jun took out several dozen gold coins and casually tossed them to the servant, then hurried toward the Symbol Master Association. In his heart, however, he was secretly somewhat excited as he thought, Master should be at the Symbol Master Association discussing matters about the Tower Battle. I have to seize this opportunity properly and strive to use the Symbol Master Tower during this Tower Battle to break through to Three-Seal Rune Master.
