Chapter 139: Sooner or Later, I Will Poison You
The night was dark, and the roars of beasts echoed through the forest.
After dinner, in the small tent, Xiao Yixian took out a colorful pill from her ring, popped it into her rosy mouth, and lay on a small bed nearby.
This was a poison pill Xiao Bai crafted for her based on a recipe from the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra. Refined by an Alchemist, the pill had purer medicinal properties, absorbed faster, and allowed the addition of high-grade poisons with precise control over the dosage, making it far more effective than her own concoctions.
Soon, a strange purple pattern appeared on her beautiful face. Xiao Yixian was enveloped in colorful mist, filling the tent with vibrant smoke. If a Dou Shi cultivator entered and inhaled the mist, they'd faint instantly and die slowly.
Xiao Bai sat by the campfire outside, quietly sensing everything inside the tent. He wanted to join her, but she refused to let him enter while she took poison, even though she knew he'd be unaffected.
She feared he'd see her in an unsightly state. Though aware his soul power could clearly perceive everything inside, as long as he wasn't physically present, she could pretend he didn't know.
Xiao Bai found her ostrich mentality amusing but couldn't resist her pleas and promised not to enter. Still, he kept watch. Initially, she forbade him from using soul power to peek, but this time, Xiao Bai was firm. No amount of begging or feigned anger swayed him, so she relented.
Thus, Xiao Bai practiced cross-legged outside, monitoring Xiao Yixian's condition in the tent, and the night passed slowly.
At dawn, the sky was hazy, and the east glowed faintly.
In the tent, the colorful poisonous mist seemed summoned, surging toward the lower abdomen of the figure on the bed, gradually dissipating.
The purple lines on Xiao Yixian's face faded, her long eyelashes trembled, and her bright eyes opened, a strange colorful luster flashing within.
"Did I faint again?" The confusion in her eyes cleared, and she patted her head with her jade hand.
"Come out when you're awake, why are you still lazing in bed?"
A slightly cold voice from outside made Xiao Yixian want to throttle the speaker.
"This stinky guy, at dawn, he's a different person!" Xiao Yixian pursed her lips, dissatisfied. The gentle Xiao Bai from last night was gone, replaced by the stern "Demon King" Xiao Bai.
"Sooner or later, I'll poison you!" She clenched her jade hand into a fist, shook it, snorted with a hint of resentment, got up, and lightly stepped out.
"You, poison me with your four-star Dou Shi cultivation?" Xiao Bai glanced at her indifferently, saying disdainfully, "I'm standing right here for you to poison. Even if you use up all your poison Dou Qi, it's useless!"
Xiao Yixian glared at his expression and sharp words. Though she knew he was pretending, she couldn't help feeling exasperated. Give me back the gentle Xiao Bai! When he's kind, he spoils her to the skies, but when he's annoying, she wants to bash his head in.
"Given your recent performance, I've prepared a big meal for you today. How about two second-level magic beasts at once? Surprised?" Xiao Bai said with a teasing smile.
"What a surprise!" Xiao Yixian rolled her eyes unhappily, grabbed the prepared breakfast, and took a bite, her beautiful eyes glaring at him as if she wanted to bite him instead.
Xiao Bai pretended not to notice, chalking it up to her morning grumpiness—normal, he thought! He wasn't trying to embarrass her. With him around, no accidents would happen.
Over this training period, Xiao Yixian had mastered various clever poisoning techniques against magic beasts. Combined with Xiao Xun'er's combat training, her fighting style had transformed from its clumsy beginnings.
Xiao Bai dubbed her style the "kite style." She'd poison beasts on contact, then kite them around, continuously poisoning them. Though beasts were tough, they couldn't withstand her relentless toxins and eventually collapsed.
To push her further, he increased the difficulty, enhancing her combat experience and accelerating her poison absorption to boost her cultivation.
As for whether this would hasten the calamity poison body's outbreak, Xiao Bai wasn't worried. Her cultivation was still low, and he'd successfully suppressed her poison body with a seal. As long as his cultivation remained higher than hers, he could keep it under control, preventing an uncontrolled outbreak.
Ideally, the poison pill method would fully tame it, but the required materials were unavailable due to timing or his current strength, so he'd wait. If necessary, Xiao Xun'er was a backup plan.
"I wonder how she's doing?" Thinking of Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Bai shook his head. He'd planned to train both girls together, but after the meeting, Xiao Xun'er chose seclusion.
Knowing her status as the ancient clan's daughter, Xiao Bai trusted she had her own methods to rapidly improve her strength, so he brought only Xiao Yixian out.
"Let's go, stinky guy!" Xiao Yixian packed up and strode past him without a glance.
Xiao Bai chuckled at her dramatic exit. Though he was strict, he wasn't torturing her on purpose. Did she need to act like she was marching to war?
In the Magic Beast Forest, several uninvited guests intruded.
"Snow Fairy, it's just a second-level magic beast. Don't worry. We'll beat it half to death, then you can grab the mission certificate, and the task's done!" a tall man boasted, patting his chest.
"Yeah, Snow Fairy, as long as we don't kill it, the academy won't penalize you again, and your contribution points won't drop!" another burly youth added, fawning.
The two flanked a woman in a snow fox fur skirt, strikingly beautiful with an oval face and a sweet, calm smile. A closer look revealed a hint of vanity and smugness in her eyes.
"Thank you, seniors!" she said softly, her voice gentle yet slightly aloof.
The men, oblivious to her detachment, replied eagerly, "No problem! After you enter the inner courtyard, please introduce us to Gang Leader Liu!"
