Chapter 46:  The True Solution to the Calamity Poison Body

"The solution to the Woeful Poison Body?!"

Xiao Yi Xian's face lit up with joy as she eagerly opened the black scroll that Gu Changqing had thrown over to her. However, as she read through it, her expression gradually turned serious.

In the end, her delicate face was filled with sorrow and despair.

"What's wrong? Is there an issue with the solution?"

Nalan Yanran noticed Xiao Yi Xian's distress and quickly moved closer to look at the black scroll in her hands.

"The Woeful Poison Body... a peculiar, ominous constitution. Born toxic, death to those who touch. It requires the consumption of poisons to survive."

"The Poison Pill method, condensing all accumulated toxins within the body into a single poison pill."

"To refine the poison pill, three key ingredients are required: three types of Heavenly Flames, a magic core of a seventh-tier Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, and the Bodhi Saliva."

"Three types of Heavenly Flames, a seventh-tier Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's core, and this Bodhi Saliva... These conditions are impossible!" Nalan Yanran exclaimed in shock.

Heavenly Flames were rare treasures, not something one could easily come across, let alone three different kinds. There was likely no one in the entire Dou Qi continent who could meet this requirement.

As for the core of a seventh-tier Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, seventh-tier beasts were equivalent to Dou Ancestor. Even in the vast Jia Ma Empire, no such creature existed, nor was there anyone strong enough to kill such a beast. The last item, Bodhi Saliva, was something she had never even heard of.

"It's a useless method, and even if those conditions could be met, I wouldn't recommend it," Gu Changqing scoffed dismissively.

"Master, do you have a better solution? Please, help me!"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes gleamed with hope as she rushed over to Gu Changqing, gripping his hand tightly as she pleaded.

"Hm, I could help you, but..."

Gu Changqing thought for a moment, glancing between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian, his face showing a hint of hesitation.

"But what? Master, as long as you're willing to help me, I... I'll do anything!" Xiao Yi Xian gritted her teeth, her face full of determination.

"Alright, you said it. I want both you and Yanran to be my girlfriends," Gu Changqing shamelessly declared.

"Wha—?!"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes widened in shock. She turned instinctively to look at Nalan Yanran, feeling conflicted.

It wasn't that she was unwilling. Despite Gu Changqing's mischievous behavior, he was undeniably skilled, powerful, and handsome. The idea of being his girlfriend wasn't something she rejected. But with Nalan Yanran, his official girlfriend, standing right here—was this really okay?

Sure enough, Nalan Yanran's face turned red with anger. She stepped forward and grabbed Gu Changqing by the ear, saying, "You greedy little brat! You want two girlfriends now? Xiao Yi Xian, don't agree to this! Let's teach him a lesson together!"

"Wait, wait! I have my reasons!" Gu Changqing quickly pulled Nalan Yanran into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Hmph, reasons? More like shameless excuses!" Nalan Yanran glared, still holding his ear.

"You're wrong!"

Gu Changqing pulled Xiao Yi Xian closer as well, embracing them both before saying, "Yanran, the solution I have for Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body is a secret family technique. It cannot be taught to outsiders, only to those close to me. It's a unique cultivation method, and by using it, she won't suffer any side effects. In fact, Xiao Yi Xian will gain complete control over the Woeful Poison Body, allowing her to ascend to the rank of Dou Ancestor, or perhaps even Dou Saint."

"Can you really bear to watch Xiao Yi Xian, someone so kind-hearted and beautiful, perish because of her poison body? To let such a talented healer, known as Little Fairy Doctor, cause the deaths of countless innocents due to an uncontrollable poison outbreak? Can you really stand to see someone as kind and gentle as her suffer endlessly from her own body's torment?"

He continued passionately, "Don't you agree that this beautiful, delicate girl, who has no one else but us to rely on, deserves a chance to live without this curse?"

"You... You're such a smooth-talker!" Nalan Yanran finally relented, blushing as she loosened her grip on Gu Changqing's ear. She could barely manage to get her words out, "Alright... fine. You can teach her, but..."

"Thank you, Yanran! From now on, you'll be my precious Yanran, and Xiao Yi Xian will be my dear Xian'er. Both of you are my girlfriends!" Gu Changqing boldly declared, pulling both girls closer.

"Ugh! You pervert! Stop calling me that, it's disgusting!" Nalan Yanran cringed in his arms but didn't resist too much. Deep down, despite her protests, she felt a bit happy.

"You've won this time, but if you dare betray me or Xiao Yi Xian, we won't forgive you!" Nalan Yanran warned him sternly.

"Don't worry! If I ever let you down, I'll accept heavenly punishment and—"

Before he could finish, Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian both covered his mouth.

"Alright, alright! Stop saying such unlucky things. We believe you," Nalan Yanran quickly interrupted.

Xiao Yi Xian, still blushing, shyly removed her hand from his mouth. She hadn't even fully agreed to being his girlfriend, but it seemed she was already on board with this... rogue. There was no turning back now.

"I promise I'll make you both the happiest women in the world. We'll live long lives together, as an immortal couple," Gu Changqing said sincerely, gazing at the two of them.

"Big talker!" Nalan Yanran pouted, though her heart was filled with sweetness. No matter what the future held, at this moment, she felt truly happy.

"Changqing, can we really live forever? Will my Woeful Poison Body truly be cured?" Xiao Yi Xian asked softly, her voice tinged with fear for the uncertain future.

"Of course!" Gu Changqing replied confidently. "I have an ancient technique from the Demon Clan called the Nine Transformations of the Celestial Silkworm. It's a secret method that allows one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen and transform the body. Once you cultivate it to the ninth level, you'll become practically invincible. Your physical body will be unrivaled in the universe."

"Your Woeful Poison Body is a natural Poison Saint Body. By using this technique, your body will grow stronger through the absorption of toxic substances. Cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Celestial Silkworm will be incredibly beneficial for you."

"You won't even need to reach the ninth level. Once you master just the third transformation, the Woeful Poison Body will be fully under your control. Instead of a curse, it'll become the foundation for you to reach the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent."

"It's not a disaster—it's the most precious gift your parents left you."

Gu Changqing held Xiao Yi Xian tightly, looking deeply into her crystal-clear eyes as he spoke.

"Changqing!"

Overcome with emotion, Xiao Yi Xian threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

No one had ever told her that the poison body was a gift from her parents. Everyone saw it as a curse, even she had believed it was her misfortune. But Gu Changqing's words had unlocked the knot in her heart.

She remembered the look of love in her parents' eyes as they told her to live on, even as the Woeful Poison Body erupted and claimed their lives. They never blamed her, not even for a second. Instead, they regretted that their daughter was burdened with such a fate, thinking she would never know happiness.

But now, Xiao Yi Xian had found a way to control the poison body. It was no longer a disaster—it was her parents' final, most precious gift to her.
