Chapter 138: People Are Not Serious, and Thunder Is Not Serious Either
Outside Jia Nan Academy, in the Magic Beast Forest.
Xiao Yixian carefully hid behind a pile of rocks, looked around cautiously, and gazed at a rare poisonous herb—Red Spirit Mushroom—under the cliff not far away. Two words were written in her beautiful eyes: I want it. This herb contains strong toxicity and has a hallucinogenic effect. It is the main medicinal ingredient of a formula recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra. It is very rare outside. This is near Jia Nan Academy, where few people need poisonous medicinal ingredients, so it can be found.
On a big tree not far away, Xiao Bai sat on a trunk, holding a book borrowed from the Jia Nan Academy Library, looking down and reading quietly, as if he didn't care about the scene below.
But the occasional smirk at the corner of his mouth showed that he was paying attention to what was happening below and knew it very well.
After the meeting that day, he had the idea of letting Xiao Yixian come out to gain some experience. This girl is kind-hearted and has never participated in any battles. Moreover, the rapid promotion of the calamity poison body means her control over her own power cannot keep up with the speed of her cultivation improvement. This results in her having power but not being able to control it freely or exert the proper level of strength.
So, she needs to hone her skills well; otherwise, she'll be in a mess when fighting others.
In the original novel, she went to the Izumo Empire and eventually became the leader of the Poison Sect. She must have experienced many things. Although there's little description in the original novel, growing from a little girl in Qingshan Town to the leader of a sect in the Izumo Empire, where poison masters are everywhere, even with the blessing of the calamity poison body, the hardships involved are likely known only to her.
As Xiao Bai's thoughts wandered, Xiao Yixian below waited a moment longer. After not spotting any magic beasts, she slowly walked out of her hiding place and approached the red herb.
As she got closer to the herb, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. Her light footsteps paused, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then she turned and ran.
"Hiss!"
Just as she turned to leave, a slender black shadow flashed out from under the pile of rocks near the herb at the bottom of the cliff, striking like lightning toward Xiao Yixian's back.
Feeling the sound of air breaking behind her, a flash of panic crossed Xiao Yixian's eyes, but she quickly calmed down. After activating the calamity poison body, her five senses were very sharp. The chill behind her made her hair stand on end. Instinctively, she used a high-level Xuan-level movement technique taught by Xiao Xun'er, Moon Shadow Stepping on the Waves, narrowly dodging the attack.
Her evasion was quite awkward, but this Dou skill, paired with Xiao Yixian's ethereal temperament, made her look like a fairy walking on waves under the moon, her figure elusive as a deity.
Lingbo Fairy has dusty socks, and walks lightly on the water with a faint moon!
After dodging the sudden attack, Xiao Yixian saw the slender figure not far away. It was completely black, with a triangular head, blending into the shadow of the bushes. If she hadn't been paying attention, she might have overlooked it.
Her eyes slowly swept over the figure in the shadows. Xiao Yixian took a breath and said, "Second-level magic beast, Shadow Viper!"
Xiao Bai, sitting on the tree, was speechless. He wondered if this girl was messing with him. This magic beast might be tough for other Dou Zhe to handle due to its small size, hidden aura, and fast speed. Its only attack method is spraying highly toxic venom, which is very potent and troublesome even for a great Dou Shi.
But she has a calamity poison body. The venom of a second-level magic beast is merely a tonic for her. Yet, she was gasping dramatically. The ancestors of the calamity poison body might be struggling to keep their coffin lids closed!
"Train her, I must train her hard!" Xiao Bai resolved not to let this girl stay cooped up all day, only making and consuming poisons without any combat skills. Otherwise, the Sky Poison Girl who shocked the world in the original novel would become a stay-at-home poison girl under his care.
Thus, under Xiao Bai's "ruthlessness," Xiao Yixian faced the toughest days of her life. Every day, Xiao Bai drove various second-level magic beasts toward her.
Since becoming a Dou Zhe, her only fight was against Manager Yao of Wanyaozhai in Qingshan Town, but that wasn't a real fight—she just coated the door with poison in advance and waited for him to fall for it.
After meeting Xiao Bai, she had no chance to fight, so she hadn't participated in a serious battle since her breakthrough.
At first, dealing with these second-level magic beasts was quite difficult. She got injured every time and nearly lost her life several times. However, she had good combat talent. Gradually, she became familiar with handling each beast, whether they had thick skin and flesh or were agile and flexible.
One evening, Xiao Yixian dragged her tired, scarred body back to their temporary camp.
"You're back! You must be hungry. Dinner's almost ready!" Xiao Bai was leisurely roasting a beast leg by the campfire. Seeing her, he greeted her enthusiastically with concern.
Xiao Yixian couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy was completely different from during the day. In the daytime, he was harsh and strict with her.
But back here, he reverted to the caring Xiao Bai, doting on her, agreeing to her every request.
"Come on, sit down, your husband will help you treat your wounds!" Xiao Bai didn't care if she agreed, directly taking her hand, leading her to the campfire, and using his wood attribute to heal her injuries.
Xiao Yixian was mentally exhausted and let him pull her to sit down. Seeing the green light on his fingers, her face flushed slightly.
"Hmm..."
As his fingers lightly touched her wound, a tempting moan escaped her rosy lips, distracting anyone who heard it.
The green mist on the wound brought a strange numbness and coolness, constantly stimulating her nerves. She tried to suppress the embarrassing moan but couldn't help it.
This made her shy, though compared to the first few days, her shyness had lessened. Initially, she thought Xiao Bai was teasing her, but seeing the healing effect was immediate and left no scars, she realized she'd misjudged him.
Noticing a strange smile in Xiao Bai's eyes, Xiao Yixian felt embarrassed and annoyed, "Not serious!"
"I'm healing your wounds, what's not serious about it? You're a doctor too; don't wrongly accuse a good person!" Xiao Bai treated her injuries while feigning grievance.
"Nothing is serious, people are not serious, and thunder is not serious either!" Seeing his mischievous expression, Xiao Yixian's lips curved slightly as she spat softly.
"No way around it. Serious or not, you've fallen into my hands for life; you can only accept it!" After treating her arm injuries, Xiao Bai placed her slender legs on his lap to treat the wounds there.
Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes softened as she quietly gazed at the handsome face lit by the fire. Warmth filled her heart. She reached out to tidy the white hair falling over his forehead, smiling softly: "If this is considered a sacrifice, then Xian'er is willing to do it!"
