Chapter 126

In the mysterious small valley, a handsome youth stood on the mountaintop, his gaze sharp and his expression focused, as if he were deep in thought.

Suddenly, the youth rapidly formed hand seals, and a powerful force was released from his hands. This energy shifted and changed, finally forming a fire-red giant dragon, its jaws open, radiating a scorching aura in all directions.

The giant dragon circled around the youth, emitting a low roar, and the sound grew increasingly loud.

"Roar!" With a long cry, the giant dragon circling Xiao Yan charged toward a distant boulder; the speed was so fast it was visible to the naked eye.

"Boom!" Accompanied by the dragon's impact, the boulder instantly burst apart, turning into countless fragments that flew in all directions.

"Not bad! Finally done! And the power has also been significantly improved. If I fuse it with the Eight Extremities Collapse, I can unleash even greater power." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"I saw that little girl come by earlier; I suppose she's developed some new type of poison again!" Xiao Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked down the mountain.

"Test it then! Who's afraid of whom!" Xiao Yi Xian said loudly.

After speaking, she took a small green jade bottle from her storage ring, poured the poison from the bottle into the bowl of soup in front of Xiao Yan, and even thoughtfully stirred it.

Thus, Xiao Yi Xian failed every time and was teased by Xiao Yan. If this were anyone else, they would have given up long ago, but who let her be Xiao Yi Xian? She was the type who kept fighting despite repeated failures, growing braver with every setback.

These two were a pair: one had the Woeful Poison Body, for whom poison was like a delicacy; the other possessed the Yin-Yang Dual Flames and was almost immune to poison, which was why they could treat poison like food.

Recently, Xiao Yi Xian had been visiting the small valley from time to time to prepare a table of delicacies for Xiao Yan.

"I've prepared 'Half-Step Stumble Smile'. It's made from honey, fritillaria, platycodon, and Tianshan snow lotus. It doesn't need refrigeration and has no preservatives. Besides being fiercely toxic, it also tastes very good. Anyone who eats 'Half-Step Stumble Smile' must not take half a step or show a smile, otherwise, their whole body will explode and die." Xiao Yan took a small jade bottle from his storage ring, shook it in front of Xiao Yi Xian, and said with a smile.

"You've prepared quite a feast! It seems today's poison is no small matter!" As soon as Xiao Yan walked into the grass shed and saw the table full of delicious food, he said teasingly.

Seeing Xiao Yan's provocative gaze, Xiao Yi Xian naturally didn't want to be outdone; she picked up the soup on the table and brought it to her mouth.

To avenge Xiao Yan's previous teasing, Xiao Yi Xian seemed possessed; she wouldn't rest until she had poisoned Xiao Yan once.

Xiao Yan was the same; the Yin-Yang Dual Flames in his body also needed a certain amount of time to neutralize the potent poison.

"So what? In a moment at most, the poison you used will be useless. But you, you're about to have your intestines come out!" Xiao Yi Xian said playfully.

"You're really vicious! But aren't you the same? You don't dare to walk or smile now, do you?" Xiao Yan said, suppressing the discomfort in his stomach.

Xiao Yan finished the soup in the bowl first, then looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a provocative expression.

"Is there? Why don't we test it and see?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Just how much laxative did you put in!" Xiao Yan said with a helpless, bitter smile.

"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" Xiao Yi Xian said with a calm expression. Looking at her, she seemed to be concerned for Xiao Yan, but the little dimples on her face appeared involuntarily, clearly showing she was holding back laughter.

"Today's poison is 'One-Day Soul-Shattering Powder'. Its toxicity is extremely fierce; it's refined from seven different poisonous insects plus crane-top red for forty-nine days. It is colorless and odorless, killing without a trace. Anyone who eats 'One-Day Soul-Shattering Powder' will lose all their Dou Qi within a day, have their meridians flow in reverse, suffer from wild thoughts, and eventually go into Qi deviation, finally dying from ruptured blood vessels." Seeing Xiao Yan arrive, Xiao Yi Xian didn't hide it and stated the name of the poison directly.

After eating, Xiao Yi Xian hopped over to clean up the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

As soon as Xiao Yan reached the bottom of the mountain, he smelled the fragrant aroma of the food and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

However, as the poisons the two developed became increasingly potent, neutralizing the toxins in their bodies was no longer as easy as before. The Woeful Poison Body needed time to adapt; every time the poison ingested exceeded the Woeful Poison Body's tolerance, she would fall into a coma.

"What poison have you prepared this time? Tell me, let me hear it." Xiao Yi Xian asked Xiao Yan curiously.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian finish poisoning the food, Xiao Yan naturally didn't want to be outdone; he poured 'Half-Step Stumble Smile' into Xiao Yi Xian's bowl and, just like her, thoughtfully stirred it for her.

"Sigh! Let you win once! Otherwise, if I let you keep tinkering like this, how will I be able to go into seclusion later!" After Xiao Yan walked out of the grass shed, the pained expression on his face vanished instantly; it was clearly an act.

"Hehe, do you dare to eat it?" Xiao Yi Xian raised an eyebrow and asked, looking at Xiao Yan.

"Hmph! The vegetables used for cooking today have a cleansing effect on the stomach, and combined with the powerful laxative I carefully prepared, you can slowly enjoy it! Although I don't know why you are immune to poison, you will still have to suffer for a while before the toxins are neutralized." Xiao Yi Xian gave a light huff and explained.

"It seems you came prepared today!" Xiao Yan smiled and said.

After the two finished the soup, they started eating, as if nothing had happened.

"Pah! What is there not to dare to eat! You could even have me eat poison directly! Let alone the fact that you've prepared so many fragrant dishes for me." Xiao Yan said dismissively.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan, possessing the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, was basically immune to those poisons. Unless Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body grew to the next stage, Xiao Yan would have something to fear, but as for now? It was completely useless.

"Let's go down and see what strange poison Xiao Yi Xian has prepared!" The wings on Xiao Yan's back flapped slightly, and he flew straight down the mountain.

"Fine! You win!" Xiao Yan walked out, clutching his stomach and hunching his back; he looked truly disheveled.

Of course, the food definitely had Xiao Yi Xian's latest poison added to it.

Because Xiao Yan felt a churning, sea-tossing pain in his stomach, coming in waves, which made cold sweat break out on his forehead.

"Pah! Is it really as powerful as you say?" Xiao Yi Xian said dismissively.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yi Xian's busy figure and smiled inwardly, but just as a smile appeared on his face, his brow furrowed tightly.

After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Yi Xian also pursed her lips and chuckled; it was clear she had been acting just now as well.

"Hmph! You're sensible! Although I know you were acting, I'm still very happy that you could bow your head." Xiao Yi Xian gave a light huff, considering it her forgiveness of Xiao Yan.
