"Teacher, I'm hot, so hot..."
Seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Dugu Yan looked at him like a lifeline and struggled to crawl up.
Her movements were very snake-like; her waist twisted with an astonishing range of motion, and she practically "slid" to Lin Yuan's feet.
"Toxic gas attacking the heart?" Lin Yuan's brow furrowed slightly as he activated his Double Pupils, seeing through her internal condition at a glance.
What toxic gas attacking the heart? This was clearly the result of drinking potent tonic wine; her blood was surging with nowhere to vent! Looking at Dugu Bo peeking sneakily from outside, how could Lin Yuan not understand this was a "setup"?
"This grandfather and granddaughter duo," Lin Yuan thought with amusement, but looking at the silly girl before him who was willing to "drug" herself just to have him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
"Teacher, am I going to die?" Dugu Yan coiled around Lin Yuan's arm, her entire body like a boneless snake as she pressed against him.
That scorching body temperature was transmitted through the thin fabric of their clothes.
"You won't die." Lin Yuan reached out and gently pinched her chin, looking into her eyes which had already begun to develop vertical pupils.
"You've just had too much to drink and are acting out."
She had been exposed!
Dugu Yan was startled, but at this point, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
Using the alcohol for courage, she steeled her heart and stopped pretending.
Dugu Yan suddenly exerted force, her legs wrapping directly around Lin Yuan's waist while her arms encircled his neck, hanging her entire body on him.
"Since Teacher knows, then why don't you push me away?"
"Is it because I am a poison girl? Is it because you are afraid of my poison?"
Dugu Yan leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear, her breath like orchids, her voice carrying a hint of trembling defiance: "Xiao Wu and the others are fragrant, but I am poisonous."
"Teacher, do you dare to taste the flavor of poison?"
This single sentence immediately ignited Lin Yuan's competitive nature as a man.
Poison? He wasn't afraid of poison!
Let alone Jade Phosphor Snake Venom, even the strongest evil toxins in the God Realm were useless before him!
"Silly girl." Lin Yuan's large hand supported her stunning full moon, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth:
"This poison of yours won't kill anyone; instead, it's quite enticing."
"Since you want me to taste it, then this teacher will test the poison with his own body!"
..."Ah! Teacher..."
Lin Yuan took the initiative, pressing her down onto the emerald jade bed.
Dugu Yan could no longer control the restlessness within her. Spirit Body Enhancement!
Her legs pressed together and, under the shroud of green light, transformed into a long "snake tail" covered in emerald scales! (In reality, it was a dragon tail.)
Although she hadn't truly turned into a "snake," this was an advanced application of Spirit Mimicry.
Her upper body was that of a beautiful and enchanting young woman, while her lower body was a snake tail full of wildness and a sense of the forbidden.
This "half-human, half-snake" visual impact was ten thousand times more stimulating than a simple human form!
"Teacher, don't look at the tail." Dugu Yan tried to cover her lower body with the quilt.
However, Lin Yuan reached out and stroked the cool, smooth scales, his eyes full of appreciation.
"It's not ugly; it's beautiful. This is a true snake beauty."
Lin Yuan lowered his head and kissed her purple lips.
This kiss instantly ignited the poisonous mist within the Green Phosphorus Pavilion... The next morning.
The poisonous mist outside the Green Phosphorus Pavilion seemed to have thinned slightly. Sunlight filtered in, shining on the emerald jade bed.
Dugu Yan lay limp and weak in Lin Yuan's arms. Her tail had changed back into two long, straight, and radiantly white beautiful legs.
"Awake?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile, playing with her long green hair.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes. Those green pupils no longer held the previous anxiety and self-deprecation, replaced instead by total happiness and lethargy.
She nuzzled into Lin Yuan's chest like a snake and licked his chin: "Husband, your detoxification ability is truly strong."
Lin Yuan gave a wicked laugh: "Of course. Otherwise, how could I subdue a snake beauty like you?"
Just then.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A series of loud coughs came from outside the door.
Dugu Bo stood at the door with a flushed face, holding a bowl of steaming hot medicinal soup.
"Uh, Little freak, Yan'er, Grandpa brewed some Foundation Strengthening Soup for you. Why don't you have some while it's hot?"
Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly. With a wave of his hand, a strand of divine force swept the soup inside.
"Alright, Old Poison, stop loitering outside."
"This granddaughter of yours is my woman from now on."
"Husband."
"Hmm?"
"I want to live in the Star Plucking Tower from now on too."
"Alright."
"I also want to bring those tonic wines Grandpa prepared for me."
"Are you trying to murder your own husband?"
"Heehee, who told you to be the Human Emperor who is immune to all poisons? I'm going to coil around you so tightly that no one can take you away!"
Looking at the little vixen in his arms who had regained her wildness and vitality, Lin Yuan felt a surge of emotion.
Xiao Wu's purity, Rongrong's charm, Zhuqing's coldness, the duo of Bing'er and Snow Dance, and now Yan'er's wildness.
It's truly good... Canglan Academy, Begonia Pavilion.
There was no lingering poisonous mist like in the Green Phosphorus Pavilion, nor the howling cold winds of the Far North Ice Field.
There were only mountains and fields of blooming begonia flowers, pink and white, with an intoxicating fragrance.
However, amidst this beautiful scenery, there was a faint air of sorrow.
Since Dugu Yan had also successfully "ascended," Lin Yuan's group of confidantes had grown unprecedentedly large.
Xiao Wu, Rongrong, Zhuqing, Bing'er, Snow Dance, and Yan'er—each of them had a distinct personality and had found their own place by Lin Yuan's side.
Except for Ye Lingling.
She was like a forgotten ghost, always silently standing in the corner.
When everyone was injured, she was the strongest support who showered the light of life.
But when everyone was laughing and celebrating, she would always quietly tighten her veil and retreat back into this lonely Begonia Court.
