She steadied herself and spoke timidly, her voice soft and delicate. "Senior, I-I only remember that my name is Miaohan. When I became conscious, I encountered that blood-red jade pendant and felt that it was as warm as home. Later-later, something seemed to happen, and I hid here in Buddha Fate Mountain and fell asleep."
"Until just now, when that Old-Old Yin startled me awake-"
Miaohan remembered that this was how Xiao Chen had addressed that elder.
"Buddha Fate Mountain?"
Xiao Yi Xian frowned. "Teacher, she seems to be someone from a very ancient era."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. So, in an even more ancient time, this place had been called Buddha Fate Mountain.
"Are you from beyond the Dou Qi Continent?"
Xiao Chen looked toward the blood-red jade pendant on the ground nearby.
"Senior, I-I don't know."
Miaohan rubbed the hem of her clothes with both hands, her delicate head lowered. Her lovely face, still slightly rounded with baby fat, was filled with weakness, pitifulness, and helplessness.
Xiao Chen asked no more questions. He crouched and picked up the blood-red jade pendant.
It felt fine and smooth in his hand, with the mellow texture of jade.
"Soul-Nourishing Jade?"
An unusual gleam appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Come closer."
Miaohan flew over from nearby and hovered trembling in the air, her delicate head lowered. In a faint voice, she said, "Senior, please don't kill me. I-I can serve you."
"What can you do?"
Xiao Chen was intrigued.
Miaohan thought for a long while before saying timidly, "Singing, dancing, playing the zither and flute-I know a little of all of them."
Xiao Chen paused in surprise.
Xiao Yi Xian could not help covering her mouth and chuckling either.
This young girl really was multitalented.
Dressed in a blood-red skirt, Miaohan had a petite figure, snow-white, translucent skin, and delicate features. She was charming and adorable.
She looked only fifteen or sixteen, yet she had already lost her body, leaving only an incomplete soul.
She really was rather pitiful.
Seeing Xiao Chen remain silent for so long, Miaohan grew increasingly uneasy and said apprehensively, "Senior, as long as you don't kill me, I can do anything."
Even her soft, sweet voice carried a faint hint of tears.
Xiao Yi Xian spoke up. "Teacher, she doesn't look like a bad person. She's actually quite pitiful and adorable."
Xiao Chen sighed softly. "If I had suitable materials, I could reconstruct your physical body. But right now, I'm afraid I can't help you."
Miaohan froze, then exclaimed in delighted surprise, "Senior, you're not going to kill me? That's wonderful!"
She smiled, her large eyes narrowing, and inadvertently revealed an astonishing allure.
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. Her looks were clearly delicate and her manner sweet and innocent, yet she possessed such allure.
If she grew a little older, even Ya Fei probably would not compare to her.
"Do you really not remember anything from when you were alive?" Xiao Chen asked.
Miaohan's eyes were blank, and worry appeared on her little face. Feeling wronged, she said, "To tell you the truth, Senior, even now, I don't know how I ended up like this-"
Xiao Chen stared at Miaohan for a long time. "Are you certain you're not hiding anything?"
Miaohan's figure trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Senior, I really haven't lied to you. I promise."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "I can believe you. However, although I won't kill you, I won't simply let you leave either."
Miaohan breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you don't kill me, Senior, I'm already very grateful."
Xiao Chen raised the blood-red jade pendant in his hand. "Go inside yourself."
Miaohan hesitated. "Senior, then-will you let me out again?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "As long as you aren't bad by nature and are willing to work for me, I won't restrict your freedom. On the contrary, I'll find ways to nourish your soul, and when the time is right in the future, I'll reconstruct your physical body."
Delight appeared on Miaohan's face, and she nodded repeatedly. "I'm willing!"
As she spoke, her figure turned into a streak of red light and darted into the blood-red jade pendant.
"She's clearly very weak, yet she can form a complete soul body. She even drew Yin Yuandong here, and on top of that, she's forgotten her memories from when she was alive. That in itself is very suspicious-"
"But there's no rush. I believe we'll find the answer in the future."
After settling the matter of Miaohan, Xiao Chen paid her no further attention and instead took Xiao Yi Xian straight to the summit of Poison Cloud Mountain.
There was a dark green poison pool here.
A faint mist lingered above the poison pool. It carried a slight, rank odor and was clearly highly poisonous as well.
Looking at the nervous Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Chen asked with a smile, "Have you decided which cultivation technique to practice?"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently. "I'll practice that 'Myriad Calamities Poison Canon.' Its name rather suits my woeful poison body."
Her expression was slightly bitter.
Xiao Chen nodded. "Then begin."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded, then seemed to think of something. An alluring blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks. Biting her red lip with her pearly teeth, she said, "Teacher, could you turn around first?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked puzzled.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment. Her slender hands gently undid the fastenings of her clothes, and finally, she bit her lip lightly as her clothes slipped off.
Her naked body, fair and tender as ivory, with its shapely curves, was exposed to the air just like that.
At Xiao Yi Xian's actions, even Xiao Chen could not help blushing.
He coughed softly, then turned around as though nothing had happened.
Wasn't she just practicing a cultivation technique?
Why was she taking her clothes off, hey?!
Seeing Xiao Chen turn around, a shy blush flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks. Her delicate foot lightly stirred the dark green poisonous water, making her look like a mermaid about to enter the water, utterly captivating.
The next instant, her naked figure plunged into the poison pool with a splash.
Xiao Chen could not help sighing in amazement. The woeful poison body really was freakish.
Xiao Yi Xian could actually bathe in poisonous water that ordinary people would not even dare touch!
Of course, Xiao Chen himself was actually a freak too.
If it came to bathing in it, he could do that as well.
This poison really could not hurt him.
Xiao Chen turned back around, only to see ripples spreading in circles across the dark green pool.
Splash!
Just then, the water nearby stirred, and a lovely head, still somewhat flushed, emerged from the pool.
Xiao Yi Xian exposed only her head, while the rest of her body remained completely concealed beneath the dark green water.
With her head above the water, a faint, shy blush could still be seen on Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks.
Yet before she could say anything, a fierce suction suddenly erupted from within her.
Thick, dark green poisonous mist rose from the pool and poured entirely into Xiao Yi Xian's body.
Surprise gleamed in Xiao Chen's eyes.
Little Gold's gaze was strange as well.
Who would have thought that so many freakish physiques would emerge on this tiny Dou Qi Continent?
Xiao Chen was one, and the young girl in the pool was another.
As the poisonous mist surged into her body, Xiao Yi Xian's aura gradually climbed as well.
That feeling of bliss made Xiao Yi Xian unable to hold back an alluring moan.
Watching the commotion Xiao Yi Xian was causing and listening to her seemingly uncontrollable moans, Xiao Chen could not help shaking his head helplessly.
In truth, in Battle Through the Heavens, the person he felt the most heartache for was Xiao Yi Xian.
She had given so very much for Xiao Yan.
Now that he had transmigrated here, he absolutely would not let Xiao Yi Xian suffer any more grievances!
