And you even lied about your seniority on purpose to take advantage of me! I’m almost seventeen, and you also look to be at most twenty; in what fashion can you be considered my elder! It’s too unfair! Forget it, I’m not detoxifying this poison anymore, not going to do it.”
Like a little kid who had been wronged, Yun Che sat his butt down, with his back to the goddess and a grumpy expression on his face.
The goddess went silent. Then, as if she also felt that she was being a little too unreasonable, she softly spoke: “In that case, just call me whatever you wish.”
Yun Che turned back around with a “woosh”, and all of the anger on his face had all vanished without a trace. He said with a grin: “Now that’s a good girl. Little Fairy, I’m about to say the second request… Take off the veil that’s covering your face, I want to see your true appearance.”
“I refuse.” The goddess immediately refused without hesitation.
“Hey! I had only wanted to know your name, this also isn’t going too far, right?” Yun Che said with dissatisfaction.
The goddess spoke in a cold tone: “You and I had only met by coincidence. If you were to really able to detoxify the poison in my body, I will naturally repay you greatly. After that, we will not owe each other and return to our respective paths, perhaps never to meet again. It is not necessary for you to know my name, and more so my appearance.”
While clearly asking a favor from others, her voice was still so unyielding and ice-cold; her demeanor and aura also repelled others thousands of mile away. If not for this little fairy’s terrifying strength and beauty, Yun Che would have definitely just washed his hands off this matter. He said helplessly: “Alright alright. Since it’s like this, then I’ll switch my second request a bit too… If I were to perfectly detoxify the ice poison in you, I wish that you can protect me for a while after two months. The time-span of protection doesn’t need to be too long either; just three or four months is good enough… Any problems with this?”
Half of the goddess’s loftiness came from her nature, and the other half was because her position was already so high that it was unreachable. However, the more that someone was like this, the more they wouldn’t want to owe others anything. Toward this request of Yun Che’s, she only thought for a short period of time before directly nodding: “Okay. This, I will accept. After two months, I’ll start to protect you in secret for a period of three months.”
“Then it’s settled!” Yun Che nodded with a joyous expression: “As for the third request… I haven’t decided upon it yet, and I’ll tell you after I’ve decided. Of course, you still have the right to decide whether to accept it or not. Now then, let’s start detoxifying the poison.”
Yun Che stood right before the goddess, extended his hand toward her, and said very seriously: “Little Fairy, extend your hand out first. I must first ascertain the condition of the ice poison in your body.
Towards the name “Little Fairy”, the goddess was extremely uncomfortable; but since she had reluctantly promised Yun Che, she could only accept it with a frown. However, what Yun Che said after, as well as the motion he made, caused her face to become as cold as condensed ice: “I had never and will never allow any man to touch my body.”
Yun Che said while beaming: “Don’t worry, as a genuine genius doctor, how could I not know how to feel the pulse without touching. I promise that I won’t touch any part of your body at all.”
The goddess’s ice-cold gaze swept over him once, and she finally extended out her right hand. Her palm was excessively white like snow, and also faintly revealed the glistening of ice. It made Yun Che, who caught sight of it, dizzy for an instant and caused him to somewhat not dare to believe that this was actually a woman’s hand… He was more willing to believe, that this was a flawless work of art meticulously carved and polished by the heavens.
Yun Che calmed his state of mind, extended out his palm and made a strange hand posture that suspended above the goddess’s jade hand. His profound energy was gently released, touched onto the goddess’s wrist, and then slowly crawled along the wrist, spreading to the meridians in her entire body…. Of course, even if he had ten times the guts, he still wouldn’t dare to misbehave in anyway with his profound energy in the goddess’s body, or else this goddess could end his life with just a single palm strike.
As he probed on, Yun Che was secretly shocked in his heart.
Because the severity of the Ice Poison of Origin she was inflicted with, had far exceeded his expectations.
Such a terrifying Poison of Origin…. It appears that, what this little fairy had killed, was at least a Sky Profound Beast!
Yun Che’s heart slightly cramped for a bit… To kill a Sky Profound Beast alone, how terrifying was this little fairy!
Yun Che’s profound energy continued to spread. As it reached the vicinity near the profound veins, Yun Che’s brows suddenly tightened, as his expression immediately changed right after… Because in the heart of her profound veins, there was a very small ball of a fog-like thing that continuously squirmed as it emanated an icy and ghastly chill outwards. Yun Che was only touching it with profound energy, yet he could still feel how shockingly terrifying the chill emitted by that ball-thing was.
This is…
A Poison Spirit!!
This Poison of Origin that came from a powerful ice-attribute poison beast, was actually terrifying to the point of gaining awareness, and formed into a Poison Spirit! Clearly, this little bit of awareness must have been injected into the Poison of Origin by that ice-attribute poison beast before it died.
Originally, it would be very simple for Yun Che to detoxify the acute poison for her, as he only needed to purify using the Sky Poison Pearl. However, after surprisingly discovering the existence of the Poison Spirit, it was already too late to simply be purified with the Sky Poison Pearl. Because a Poison Spirit was an acute poison that grows by consuming the host’s profound energy, lives within the profound vein, and to a certain extent, had already fused with the profound vein into one. If one were to forcefully purify it, then along with eliminating the Poison Spirit and acute poison, the profound vein would receive permanent damage.
