Chapter 21: Budding Emotions! Xiao Yan Arrives! + TL/n at the end



Little Fairy Doctor was lowering her eyes, focused intently on picking the medicinal herbs. Her long, fine hair fell gently beside her face, and her serious expression made her look exceptionally beautiful.

But such a pure-hearted girl...

Gu Fei closed his eyes, knowing that Little Fairy Doctor possessed the Woeful Poison Body. Currently, she was unaware of this fact.

In the recently obtained Rainbow Poison Book, there were some descriptions of this unique constitution. Once Little Fairy Doctor finished her task and read the codex, she would learn about it.

The Woeful Poison Body was feared by many throughout history, yet also desired by those who sought to walk the dark path. With this body, one could almost avoid cultivation altogether and rapidly enhance their power simply by consuming poisons.

However, poison is still poison. While one's strength could increase quickly, it also caused great harm to the body. Moreover, the process was accompanied by intense pain. The Woeful Poison Body also had unpredictable outbursts. During these episodes, if the person could not endure it, they would lose their sanity, go on a killing spree, and eventually die.

As a result, many who had this body ended up killing their loved ones in a state of madness, only to take their own lives in despair.

The Woeful Poison Body had chosen Little Fairy Doctor- this was her fate. While the seal on her Woeful Poison Body remained intact, she could continue living a peaceful life in Qingshan Town, pretending nothing had happened, and live out her days in tranquility.

Of course, she could also choose to unseal it in pursuit of power and face the unknown that came with it.

Gu Fei wouldn't interfere much with her choice. Whether she decided to activate the body or not was entirely up to her.

Furthermore, while the Woeful Poison Body was terrifying, it wasn't without a cure. At least, Gu Fei remembered that in the original story, Yao Lao had a method to save her. He used the Poison Pill technique to eliminate the Woeful Poison Body's negative effects, leaving only its formidable power.

As Gu Fei leaned against the cave wall, deep in thought with a vacant expression, he was suddenly brought back to reality by Little Fairy Doctor's cheerful voice.

Little Fairy Doctor, though doing this for the first time, managed to deceive the mercenaries with only slight awkwardness. Although some noticed the absence of several Wolf Head Mercenary Group members, they didn't connect it to her and Gu Fei.

...

On a dusty road a hundred miles from Qingshan Town, a young man in black was trudging forward with difficulty. His face still held some boyishness, but his eyes were resolute. Upon closer inspection, one would see that the young man carried a massive black sword on his

back.

However, calling it a sword might be inaccurate-it was more of a thick, giant iron ruler without an edge. The black sword lacked a sharp tip; the end looked as though it had been cut cleanly in half, exposing a smooth, mirror-like surface. The surface of the pitch-black sword was adorned with strange, somewhat faded patterns that extended all the way to the hilt, covering almost the entire blade.

The peculiar patterns, combined with the ancient black color, gave the sword an aura of mystery. The sword was so large that it almost exceeded the height of the young man himself. It seemed that the sword would crush him at any moment.

This unusual combination drew curious glances from the occasional passersby.

This young man was none other than Xiao Yan.

"Teacher, you previously said I should cross the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Is it to place me in danger, so I might unlock my true potential?" Xiao Yan paused, seemingly talking to himself, but the response he was waiting for never came.

"It seems the teacher hasn't awakened yet. I'll have to rely on myself..."

After a long while, Xiao Yan sighed and continued his journey.

TL/n: One of my readers brought to my attention the fact that the novel was also being translated by someone before me. I've found two of them- one of them seems to have been posted from mtl upto chapter 62 and hasn't been updated in a month. The other one, which I feel bad for, started a day before me, since even though they have about 11 chapters- they're actually well translated. Seeing the responses, I've decided to continue. It's kinda low but since I've already started it, I want to finish it to the end.

Also if you've noticed some of the terms are not accurately translated, since I'm keeping it consistent with the orginal work. So if you search on the wiki, you'll be able to find it (like Thousand Medicine House, Rainbow Poison Book etc).
