433. The Choice of a Beauty
"That's fine then, it's just a pity about this star meteorite iron." Xiao Yan also subconsciously sighed.
Little Fairy Doctor also moved closer to Xiao Yan, gently wrapping her arms around him, and whispered, "Silly boy, whether you become popular or not is not important. How can you take back a gift you gave me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled and put his arm around Little Fairy Doctor: "Then next time I see Senior Chen Wei, I'll ask him for help."
Xiao Yan then quickly brought Little Fairy Doctor back to her room. This time, perhaps because of the special timing, Little Fairy Doctor did not show any sign of disagreement.
Xiao Yan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Little Fairy Doctor in his arms. Their bodies were close enough that their breathing could be clearly heard. Just as their breathing began to grow heavier, Little Fairy Doctor deftly broke free from Xiao Yan's embrace.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I'm a little thirsty." Little Fairy Doctor quickly came up with an excuse, then turned her back to Xiao Yan so that he couldn't see her blushing face.
Only after Little Fairy Doctor picked up her teacup and took a few sips did she face Xiao Yan again, casually changing the subject: "Do you support my decision to become the Valley Master of Ice River Valley?"
"Of course." Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Judging from your experience in the Chuyun Empire, you definitely have this ability."
"Glacier Valley's research on the Calamity Poison Body will be of considerable help to you; it's a very good choice."
Seeing Xiao Yan's frank reply, Little Fairy Doctor chuckled and teased, "I thought the young master just wanted me to be his little follower..."
"That's a pity." Xiao Yan replied without hesitation, "With your abilities and skills, Zhongzhou is definitely an excellent stage. Go for it. Practicing medicine and becoming a great doctor has always been your pursuit."
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor was quite shaken. After regaining her composure, she didn't continue speaking but instead asked Xiao Yan, "And you? What is it that you truly want to do?"
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then replied seriously, "Go to the ancient clans and find their people, so that they can live a carefree life in the Central Plains. After that, confirm your marriage with your father, and then refine a body for your teacher to bring him back to life..."
Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently and tapped Xiao Yan's forehead with her finger: "These are all responsibilities you bear. I mean, things you genuinely want to do after everything has stabilized."
After saying that, as if he felt that what he said was incomplete, he immediately added, "Of course, there are still some things that need to be done."
Xiao Yan nodded, but couldn't give an answer for a moment. For a long time, he had been driven by the responsibilities he carried. Back then, he felt that Nalan Yanran's annulment of the engagement was an insult to the Xiao family and his father, which was why he angrily made the three-year agreement, ultimately resolving everything at the Yunlan Sect. He went to the Northwest Region to free Qing Lin. He came to the Central Plains at Yan Di's request, and then to resolve Xiao Yi Xian's calamity-inducing poison body. Now, he came to the Pill Gathering primarily to improve his strength and revive Yao Lao.
And all of this is not over yet. He has not yet brought back the members of the Xiao family, he has not yet gone to the ancient clan to arrange his marriage with Xun'er, he has not yet found Zi Yan and Huo Zhi, not to mention that Emperor Xu Tian has also entrusted Xiao Yan with the important task of repairing the continent's space.
Faced with this simple question posed by Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan was momentarily unable to come up with a truly heartfelt answer.
Little Fairy Doctor patiently sat opposite Xiao Yan, gazing serenely at her beloved. She felt a pang of sympathy for him; the man before her had resolved the eternal shadow in her heart—the Calamity Poison Body. Xiao Yan had risked his life to bravely venture into the Sound Valley for her, and even with a beauty like Xun'er by his side, he still chose to stand by her.
Her willingness to become the new Valley Master of Ice River Valley was also a way of easing the burden on Xiao Yan's shoulders through her own efforts. It was a way to provide him with a safe haven where he could turn back without having to worry about anything.
"I think that after everything is resolved in the future, I will take you and Xun'er to travel all over the continent and explore its beautiful scenery." After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yan gave his answer.
"Alright." Little Fairy Doctor took Xiao Yan's hand and said, "Then please, my young master, don't be so tense all the time. Remember that I'm standing behind you too."
Xiao Yan felt the warmth in Xiao Yixian's hands and was deeply moved. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"Xian'er, you're so kind!"
"That's because you've done so much more than I have without even realizing it... If it weren't for you, I would still feel like I shouldn't be alive."
……
The next morning, Little Fairy Doctor woke up from her deep sleep and clearly felt that the flow of Qi within her body was faster.
Her surroundings were now empty; Xiao Yan had left before she even woke up. Thinking of the previous night's madness, even Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed. When emotions run deep, she herself couldn't control herself, not to mention she had sensed that Xiao Yan was at a crucial juncture in his breakthrough. Enhancing his condition to its best was the best way she could help him.
Then, Little Fairy Doctor took out Xuan Yi's gift. She remembered that Xiao Yan had asked her the same thing last night: what Xuan Yi had given her. She had tried her best to deny that she had seen it. In fact, she already knew at the time that Xuan Yi had given her a pill.
The medicinal effects are recorded in the jade box containing the pill: the Innate Rejuvenating Pill, a high-grade seventh-rank pill. Only women can take it; it can awaken the innate vitality that has been severed within their bodies.
The Calamity Poison Body is a miraculous physique bestowed by heaven, allowing one to increase their strength at an extraordinary speed and become stronger than others of the same level. However, the damage it inflicts on one's own body is equally terrifying.
The most serious situation was Little Fairy Doctor's previous condition, where her own consciousness was suppressed, turning her into an unconscious killing machine. After refining the poison pill, this hidden danger no longer exists. The Bodhi Transformation Saliva also almost restored the vitality within Little Fairy Doctor's body, but there are some things that the Bodhi Transformation Saliva cannot repair, such as the loss of fertility of the owner of the Calamity Poison Body.
Xuan Yi's intention in giving the pill to Little Fairy Doctor was quite clear. However, Xuan Yi also stated that whether or not Little Fairy Doctor used it was entirely up to her. As an outsider, she could somewhat understand the affection between Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, but she simply offered this choice.
Feeling the warmth on her wrist, Little Fairy Doctor whispered, "For him, how could I not?"
Little Fairy Doctor then swallowed the Innate Rejuvenating Pill, and as the medicine took effect, changes began to occur within her body.
