"It's almost time for Xian'er to make another breakthrough," thought Xiao Ming as he watched Xiao Yi Xian. He could sense that her aura had reached a peak, indicating that she was about to make another breakthrough.
As expected, a few moments later, Xiao Yi Xian's aura suddenly shot up, and the energy of heaven and earth was attracted to her. Outside, the toxins that covered the Nether Poison Swamp also poured frantically into the cave, all directed towards Xiao Yi Xian's body.
The commotion generated caused the Amethyst Winged Lion King outside to raise its head. "Another breakthrough? If I didn't count wrong, with this breakthrough she would be a Dou Emperor, right? What kind of oddity is she? To be able to increase her strength so much in just a few months," thought the Amethyst Winged Lion King, surprised and envious.
Zi Yan, who was sleeping, raised her dazed little head and looked in the direction of the cave before burying her head back into her pillow. She had long since grown accustomed to these periodic breakthroughs.
Inside the cave, Xiao Yi Xian, who had stopped absorbing energy, fluttered her delicate eyelashes before, after a couple of months, those beautiful green eyes of hers finally opened. The first thing she looked at when she woke up was Xiao Ming's smiling face, as he gently asked her, "How do you feel now?"
Xiao Yi Xian, who saw Xiao Ming just waking up, felt in a very good mood, and upon hearing his words, she raised her slender jade hand to shake it, only to feel that her body was full of energy. "I feel very strong now and..."
A small green flame appeared on her fingertips. "Also, I can feel that I should now be able to completely control the poisonous power in my body," Xiao Yi Xian was very cheerful when she mentioned this.
"It seems that devouring the Nether Poison Flame was exceptionally beneficial to you". Xiao Ming said with a satisfied expression.
The strength of Xiao Yi Xian, who had already broken through to Dou Emperor, would not stop there and would continue to grow rapidly in the coming days thanks to the Nether Poison Flame that amplified her Woeful Poison Body.
"It's time to go, we've been here for two months, and it's time to return to the Jia Nan Academy". Xiao Ming said, getting up to leave.
"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded her head and prepared to get up.
Suddenly feeling as if her body was a bit cold, she looked down and discovered that she was only wearing an outer garment.
Furthermore, this outer garment did not seem to be hers and it was not even a woman's, so she couldn't help but turn her gaze to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming, who had already turned to leave, felt a sudden chill. Turning to look and noticing Xiao Yi Xian's gaze, he immediately understood what was going on and quickly explained.
"Your clothes were burned when you devoured the Heavenly Flame, so I could only use my own clothes to cover you".
"Did you personally put them on me?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with apparent calmness.
"Ah... I did". Xiao Ming suddenly felt embarrassed, causing him to look away as he spoke.
"...I see".
Realizing that the outburst he expected did not come, Xiao Ming turned in surprise to the direction of Xiao Yi Xian, who was still sitting in the same place. And seeing her green eyes staring calmly at him, made his heart flutter, and seeming to have made up his mind about something, he took a deep breath and walked towards her.
Under Xiao Yi Xian's curious gaze, Xiao Ming moved closer until he was just a few inches away from her and then knelt down with both knees on the ground, as he reached out his hands to take hers, and said earnestly while looking straight into her eyes.
"I will take responsibility as long as you are willing."
His words, spoken so directly, might have surprised anyone, but they caused Xiao Yi Xian's eyes to take on the shape of a crescent moon. Her slender hands moved from his hands to embrace his neck, and her delicate voice held a hint of charm and sweetness as she said.
"You didn't run away this time".
Although she didn't answer directly, neither of them needed it.
Hearing her reply, Xiao Ming understood that she was referring to what happened that time with the medicinal bath. He wanted to reply that it wasn't that he was running away, but that he didn't want to take advantage of her in that situation. They were both still very young and he did not want to force a relationship between the two in that way.
But before he could respond, he was stunned.
He was caught off guard as he felt a softness on his lips. It took him a moment to realize that Xiao Yi Xian had approached him, her cherry-colored lips pressed against his. A pleasant fragrance filled his senses as he reached out to embrace her slender waist and actively responded to the kiss.
"Nn~" Xiao Yi Xian's kiss was inexperienced, but her lips were eager as she tried different positions. Her small tongue flicked against his, making him feel a surge of desire. As the kiss became more passionate, their tongues danced together, and he could hear her making soft, sensual sounds that sent his heart racing.
Swch~
Finally, they broke apart, both of them breathing heavily, A silver line bridged the space between them, and he could see the blurriness in her eyes. Xiao Yi Xian's lower body felt incredibly hot, but that didn't stop her from saying while chuckling.
"That kiss was because... hehe, I won't need to think of some excuse to kiss you anymore".
Xiao Ming laughed lightly and looked at her lovingly, and couldn't help but lick his lips wanting to taste that sweet... wait, sweet?
Looking at Xiao Ming's puzzled appearance, made Xiao Yi Xian let out a giggle as she began to explain.
"It's because of my poison, while you were giving the alchemy lectures, I started thinking about the way poisonous herbs like Feng Fei Fruit could disguise their smell and taste."
"After devouring the Nether Poison Flame, I became capable of manipulating toxins in this way, naturally, these toxins pose no harm to you."
"That said, let's not keep the others waiting, let's go." After giving him a quick kiss, Xiao Yi Xian adjusted her clothes and took the lead to leave the cave.
Despite exiting quickly, a red mist around her ears still revealed her inner embarrassment.
Clearly, Xiao Yi Xian had not created this "skill" with the intention of using it in battle from the start.
Xiao Ming touched his nose and laughed lightly, feeling that bringing Xiao Yi Xian to the alchemy lectures had been a wise decision.
He shook his head and followed her as they left the cave, which now stood empty, symbolizing the end of the quest for the Nether Poison Flame.
That same day, they climbed onto the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and set off on their journey back to the Jia Nan Academy.
This time, on their journey back to the Jia Nan Academy, they had no specific goal in mind, making their trip much quieter and more leisurely.
They even stopped in certain cities for a day or two to enjoy themselves.
During this time, the close relationship between Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian became increasingly obvious to everyone around them.
Seeing the two of them enraptured with each other, made Zi Yan, who was sitting beside them, gnash her teeth. The words Xiao Yi Xian said to her a while ago even made her think of making a breakthrough quickly.
Xiao Yi Xian at that time only answered Zi Yan's question, who wanted to know how she had managed to captivate Xiao Ming's heart, with a single sentence.
"Sister Zi Yan, as long as you remain small, Xiao Ming will not be interested in you".
In the end, under Zi Yan's continuous requests, Xiao Ming and his group quickened their pace to return to the Academy again.
...
Lying on the lap of Xiao Yi Xian, who had recently broken through to another star and caught up with him in cultivation, Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
On the journey back to the Academy, he advanced to become a nine-star Dou Emperor, a level he had worked tirelessly for since he was four years old.
On the other hand, the time it had taken Xiao Yi Xian to advance from her Dou Practitioner cultivation when he first met her to her current cultivation level, which was on par with him, was incredibly short, likely less than a year in total.
While this was in part due to the accumulation of countless years of Nether Poison Flame toxins, it was still an impressive and monstrous breakthrough.
Thinking about it again, he couldn't help but sigh.
'The Woeful Poison Body is really terrifying'.
As Xiao Ming let out a sigh, he felt a gentle touch on his face. Glancing up, he saw Xiao Yi Xian's eyes gazing at him affectionately as her slender hands caressed his face.
Facing Xiao Yi Xian's constant pampering, Xiao Ming no longer cared to keep thinking about whether it was terrifying or not.
...
Some time later, Xiao Ming called out in his mind:
'Simulator.'
After Xiao Ming's call, an extremely mechanized voice suddenly sounded.
[Ding, the host is detected to have a chance to have a life simulation, start simulation?]
"Simulate it".
[Ding, the current number of simulations is one].
[Starting the simulation-].
[Day 1: You sit on the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and watch Xiao Yi Xian beside you make her way to the same realm as you. You think a thousand things and finally, sigh, thinking about how terrifying the Woeful Poison Body is.]
[Day 2: You cultivate for a day and your cultivation, which has been refined to nine-star peak Dou Emperor, does not advance at all.]
[Day 3: As you are about to reach the Black-Corner Region, you do not cultivate any further, but take out the low-grade seventh-tier pill, Instant Qi Pill, from your storage ring to study it. After a day of flying, you finally arrive at the Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region.
That night, you meet with your Master, Elder Huo, and discover that his alchemy skills have greatly improved and his cultivation level has reached Dou Ancestor. After a few conversations, you learn that the overall strength of the Jia Nan Academy has improved.]
[Day 4: While you are on your way to look for the Deputy Headmaster of the Jia Nan Academy, you meet Hu Jia and stop to talk to her for a while. While talking to her, you learn that she has been training very hard, and you present her with a nice whip made from willow that you took out of your storage ring.]
...
[Day 10: The Deputy Headmaster of the Jia Nan Academy informs you that there will be a meeting. You arrive and meet many Elders, and the topic of the meeting is your proposal on the feasibility of exchanging Heavenly Flames and the details of the implementation process.]
...
[Day 20: After some preparations, you begin your plan to trap the Fallen Heart Flame.]
...
[Day 50: You are cultivating in the subterranean magma of the Jia Nan Academy, and at this time, you are at a critical moment to break through to Dou Ancestor.]
