Chapter 73: The Activation of the Calamity Poison Body

After a while, Xiao Tian felt a large amount of cold water being poured into his mouth rather roughly. Some of it even went up his nose.

"Cough… cough cough…" Xiao Tian coughed violently and opened his eyes. Instantly, he saw a beautiful, noble face. He reached out to touch her face and murmured, "Yun'er, am I dead?"

Initially, Yun Yun wanted to push his hand away, but upon hearing his words, her heart softened, and she decided against it. However, she still didn't give him a friendly look and said coldly, "You, scoundrel, are far from dying. You're still alive."

"Really? That's great," Xiao Tian said with a "weak" smile, wincing as if in pain from his injuries. After a while, he managed to squeeze out another smile and said, "Yun'er, I'm so happy to see you again."

Xiao Tian's passionate and loving gaze made Yun Yun's heart flutter. She quickly turned her head away and said coldly, "I don't want to see you. Why didn't you die?"

"Ah!" Xiao Tian sighed. "Yun'er, I know what I did was wrong. I went to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair, ready to die, but fate spared me. At least, I managed to bring back the Amethyst Spirit Crystal for you."

Yun Yun's eyes softened, and she said, "Stop talking and heal your wounds first."

"My wounds are not a big deal; taking some medicine will do."

...

The previous incidents had already caused ripples in Yun Yun's tranquil heart. Xiao Tian's actions this time further entrenched his place in her heart. She couldn't see their relationship as she once did. Sometimes, she even felt that living together with him wasn't so bad.

However, after a few days, as Yun Yun's cultivation recovered, their relationship seemed to return to its former state.

One day, Xiao Tian woke up and immediately saw Yun Yun on the stone bed, sitting cross-legged with her strange sword resting on her lap. She wore a snow-white dress and had her hair styled with the phoenix hairpin again, exuding a noble aura. Her beautiful face showed calm and elegance, with the previous days' vulnerability completely gone.

Sensing Xiao Tian's gaze, Yun Yun opened her eyes and quickly looked away. "Awake?" she said coldly.

Hearing her indifferent tone, Xiao Tian smiled. "Have your seals been lifted?"

"Mm," Yun Yun nodded. "I'm leaving. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened."

"That's impossible," Xiao Tian shook his head. "Neither of us can pretend it didn't happen."

"That's just your wishful thinking!" Yun Yun replied coldly and began to walk towards the cave entrance.

Xiao Tian quickly stepped forward and handed her a jade bottle. "Yun'er, this is the Emperor Extreme Pill I made. It can increase your strength by one or two stars. When I gather the materials, I'll make a Sect-Breaking Pill for you."

"This is too precious. I can't accept it," Yun Yun said, shaking her head. Despite her desire, she wanted to draw a clear line between them.

Xiao Tian hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Yun'er, if you don't take it, I won't let you go."

The warmth of his breath on her ear made Yun Yun shiver, her face turning red. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart, and said, "Fine, I'll take it. Now let go of me."

Instead of letting go, Xiao Tian hugged her tighter. "I want to hold you like this forever," he said.

Yun Yun's heart pounded with confusion. After a moment of silence, she turned around, kissed him lightly on the lips, and flew into the sky with her azure wings.

Watching her leave, Xiao Tian shouted, "Yun'er, I'll marry you!"

...

After leaving the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Tian returned to the small valley. As soon as he arrived, he noticed something was off. The valley was eerily quiet, devoid of life.

"Did Little Doctor Immortal leave?" he wondered, hurrying to the thatched cottage.

Opening the door to her room, a cloud of gray smoke billowed out. The smoke was highly corrosive, causing a sizzling sound when it touched anything.

"Phew!" Xiao Tian sighed in relief, realizing she hadn't left. He took out the stone talisman, which absorbed the gray smoke and condensed it into a few poison pills. Putting the pills in a jade bottle, he entered the room.

On the bed, Little Doctor Immortal lay curled up in a thin white dress, outlining her delicate curves. Gray smoke continuously emitted from her body, and her previously rosy face was now tinged with a seven-colored glow. Her eyes were closed, and she lay still as if she wasn't breathing.

Using his soul power, Xiao Tian sensed that she was only unconscious. Her Calamity Poison Body protected her from the poison's lethal effects. Xiao Tian placed the stone talisman on her, which began to absorb the excess poison from her body and condense it into more poison pills.

As the excess poison was drained, the colorful glow on her face faded. Soon, she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Tian.

"Little Doctor Immortal, you're awake," Xiao Tian said with a smile.
