Chapter 26: The Arrival of Yun Yun!
In the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Gu Fei waited quietly for Xiao Yixian to wake up; this wait lasted for three whole days.
During this period, Xiao Yixian's aura had fluctuated, but fortunately, no problems arose, and it eventually stabilized.
Gu Fei was not in a hurry; after all, the energy in this small valley was very abundant, and while it was a drop in the bucket for him, it was better than nothing.
The only bed was left for the motionless Xiao Yixian, so he had to settle for meditating on the ground.
On the fourth day, Xiao Yixian finally woke up.
The moment Gu Fei sensed Xiao Yixian waking, he opened his eyes, meeting her gaze exactly.
【Xiao Yixian feels moved, Emotion Value +100】
Seeing Gu Fei beside her, Xiao Yixian understood that he had been guarding her for these past few days.
A warm current surged in her heart, and she revealed a smile.
But soon, as if remembering something, Xiao Yixian's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Fei again.
【Xiao Yixian feels inferior, Emotion Value +100】
"Brother Gu Fei, these past few days... thank you for taking care of me. I just, I just had a little accident while preparing medicine a few days ago..."
Xiao Yixian bit her lower lip, her voice sounding somewhat hoarse.
Her fingers tightly clutched the hem of her skirt, her purple eyes filled with strange emotions, terrified that Gu Fei would discover her sordid secret.
If Brother Gu Fei really found out, would he despise her, fear her?
She was practically a jinx...
Seeing the girl who had been full of smiles suddenly become cautious, Gu Fei frowned involuntarily.
He naturally noticed the change in Xiao Yixian's emotions and shook his head helplessly.
What did Xiao Yixian take him for? How could he possibly despise her?
"I know everything, about your constitution. The Woeful Poison Body, right?"
Although Gu Fei's tone was inquiring, his expression was very calm.
【Xiao Yixian feels shocked, Emotion Value +100】
Xiao Yixian's eyes went wide as she watched Gu Fei point casually at the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture she had left lying to the side.
Xiao Yixian's brain buzzed, and she dared not look at Gu Fei's reaction.
This kind of constitution would only harm everyone around her in the end; even she herself found it detestable.
However, the Woeful Poison Body allowed for rapid cultivation speed and could bring her power...
"Brother Gu Fei, you, will you despise someone like me? Are you still willing... to be my friend?"
Xiao Yixian's voice trembled as she spoke in a low tone.
Gu Fei chuckled and shook his head.
"Silly girl, of course I won't, and of course I am willing to be your friend. No matter what your constitution is, in my heart, you are still, and only, that kind and gentle Xiao Yixian."
"You will always just be yourself."
Gu Fei paused, then added: "Besides, based on my current realm alone, your poison poses absolutely no threat to me."
"Have you forgotten my strength? Or do you simply not believe I can be immune to your poison?"
Unless Xiao Yixian possessed the cultivation of a Dou Zong to rival him, her poison would find it difficult to pose any threat to Gu Fei.
Xiao Yixian naturally shook her head vigorously, explaining in a flustered hurry, fearing that Gu Fei might misunderstand.
【Xiao Yixian feels moved, Emotion Value +100】
Yet, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and a warm current surged in her heart once more.
Although her mental block had been cleared by Gu Fei's sincere words, because she knew her body was poisonous, Xiao Yixian instinctively avoided getting close to Gu Fei.
【Xiao Yixian feels worried, Emotion Value +100】
The records of the Woeful Poison Body in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture were shocking; Xiao Yixian did not know how powerful Gu Fei truly was, she only worried that her poison would harm him.
"The Woeful Poison Body, a strange poison constitution that can rapidly increase strength by devouring poison. The way to identify the Woeful Poison Body: a tiny seven-colored hidden line appears on the lower abdomen. The seven-colored line grows with the concentration of poison contained within the body. When the seven-colored line extends to the heart, it is the peak moment of the Woeful Poison Body, and at the same time, one will suffer the pain of ten thousand poisons devouring the body."
Below these small characters, it also listed in great detail what kind of destruction the Woeful Poison Body would cause.
Since Xiao Yixian had chosen to break the Seal, this was a path of no return.
Her Woeful Poison Body was currently only at the initial stage, so while she was conscious, it didn't matter if Gu Fei had physical contact with her, but once she fell into a coma, or as the poison body matured in the future, it would truly be... touch anything, and it dies.
However, Xiao Yixian used a smile to cover the worry in her heart; she thought she was disguising it well, but those emotions were all faithfully broadcast by the system.
【Xiao Yixian feels worried, Emotion Value +100】
Gu Fei's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything more, acting as he usually did.
Following this, the two continued to live in the small valley for several more days.
Life in the small valley was truly leisurely and peaceful, and Gu Fei also quite liked this kind of life.
However, he also understood that wanting to live such a comfortable life forever without striving to become stronger was, of course, impossible.
At this time, on the other side of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Xun Er was still searching for Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan's itinerary was chaotic and disorganized; even with the help of treasures, there were no traces to follow.
The distance between Xun Er and Xiao Yan was somewhat vast, and she gradually entered the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range to search.
As Xun Er went deeper, at this moment, Ling Ying, who had been silent and soundless like a shadow, suddenly spoke up.
"Young Miss, not far ahead, there seems to be the aura of a Sixth Rank Magical Beast."
Xun Er pondered for a moment and murmured in her heart: "It seems I have searched in the wrong direction. With Brother Xiao Yan's current strength, there is no way he could have ventured this deep into such a dangerous place. He should still be near the outer perimeter."
A Sixth Rank Magical Beast was not a behemoth that Xiao Yan could challenge at present, so he would definitely not have continued forward.
Xun Er intended to turn back and continue searching for Xiao Yan in the edge regions.
Her expression was somewhat anxious; so much time had passed, and she did not know if Brother Xiao Yan was safe, or what the purpose of those people from the Ancient Clan was.
At the same time, Gu Fei also sensed that energy fluctuation in the distance.
He thought for a moment; judging by the intensity of the energy fluctuation, it should be that a Sixth Rank Magical Beast had been enraged.
The territorial awareness of a Sixth Rank Magical Beast is extremely strong; right now, someone or some Magical Beast must have invaded its territory, or even offended it.
Gu Fei narrowed his eyes.
At this time, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range...
"Could it be the battle between the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yun Yun?"
He vaguely sensed the source of that Magical Beast aura, and since Gu Fei was a transmigrator, he was familiar with the plot of the original work.
Just by sensing the Magical Beast aura, he guessed the true answer.
