Battle Through the Heavens: Oh no, I've become the succubus Xiao Yan!

The fire lasted for about half an hour.

As Xiao Yan withdrew his hand, the flames in his palm slowly extinguished. Little Fairy Doctor's fingers subconsciously followed his hand, moving an inch before quickly retracting and clenching into a fist on her knee.

"How are you feeling?" Xiao Yan asked.

Little Fairy Doctor looked down at her hands. They looked the same as before, but she could feel the difference within her body. That faint craving for poison, that restless feeling like worms crawling in the cracks of her bones, had disappeared.

"It's good, I feel very calm now," she said, her voice much more relaxed than before. "That vague restlessness inside me is gone. I've never felt so at ease."

"That's good, but this is only temporary," Xiao Yan said. "Although my flames can suppress the poison, they can't eradicate it. The poison is still dormant within you; I've just suppressed it. In a few days, that craving will resurface."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

Xiao Yan didn't speak again, but his mind was racing.

He was all too familiar with the Calamity Poison Body. The original novel clearly stated: a naturally born poison body, activated only by consuming poison, where the poisonous power transforms into poisonous battle qi, causing a surge in strength, but at the cost of being devoured by countless poisons. Little Fairy Doctor's poison body hasn't been activated yet, but her craving for poison is already very obvious; sooner or later, she won't be able to resist taking poison.

The method of using poison pills can cure the poison completely by compressing the poison into a pill and sealing it in the dantian. However, this method has never succeeded. The process of compressing the poison is too painful, and it can shatter the meridians. Finally, sealing the pill requires a special fire.

He needs to find the strange fire next.

"Master," Xiao Yan said in his heart, "I understand her poisonous body. It's the Calamity Poison Body, which is only activated by taking poison, causing her to be consumed by countless poisons. The Poison Pill method can cure it completely, but it requires sealing the core with a different kind of fire. I'm thinking of using the flames of the Fire God Body to help her seal the core. What do you think?"

The old alchemist was silent for a moment, then sighed: "You seem to know everything about this. Even many alchemists might not know this. Where did you hear it from?"

"I've read some ancient books before."

"Alright," the old apothecary didn't press further. "The flames of the Fire God Body are indeed purer than ordinary flames, and theoretically stronger than ordinary strange flames. Your soul power has also reached the Spirit Realm, and your control is quite precise. But how old are you? How many years have you studied alchemy? Even sixth-grade alchemists dare not attempt the poison pill method. If something goes wrong with a fifteen-year-old boy like you, she could die."

"I know," Xiao Yan said, "so I don't plan to do it now. I'll suppress it first, and then we'll talk about it after we find the different flames. Suppressing it for her once a day will at least keep her poisonous body dormant."

"Look at you, so confident. Fine, whatever you say."

Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and found that Little Fairy Doctor was staring at him.

"You were spacing out just now," she said. "Were you thinking about something?"

  

"Yes, I'm thinking about how to eradicate your toxins."

"So what solution have you come up with?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan with expectant eyes.

Xiao Yan looked into her eyes; they were a beautiful light purple. Before, those eyes always held a wariness and aloofness, but now, they held something else within them.

Xiao Yan said, "We can suppress it for now, and then cure it completely once we find the strange fire."

"A different kind of fire," Little Fairy Doctor repeated the word. "It must be very difficult to find, right?"

"It's difficult, but not impossible," Xiao Yan smiled. "I happen to know the location of a strange flame."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him, her lips pressed tightly together.

Why are you going to such lengths to help me?

"Because you're very handsome," Xiao Yan said, "and I can't just watch something so beautiful disappear before my eyes."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Little Fairy Doctor blushed instantly upon hearing Xiao Yan's blunt words.

"I'm not making this up, I mean it."

"You're such a strange person. You're not serious at all," Little Fairy Doctor scolded playfully.

"Thank you." Xiao Yan said, indicating that you were right.

I'm not praising you.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Xiao Yan smiled and stood up to stretch his limbs. Helping Little Fairy Doctor suppress the poison had taken a lot of energy, and he needed to rest.

"I'll stay at an inn in town tonight."

Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the room next door: "There's a room available. Wan Yao Zhai sometimes accommodates patients for overnight stays. You can stay here; it'll be convenient to continue processing the poison tomorrow."

"Aren't you afraid I'll steal your medicinal herbs in the middle of the night?"

"You can't steal it," Little Fairy Doctor said calmly, "I poisoned all those medicinal herbs."

"..."

"Just kidding." The corners of her mouth curved up again.

"I was just kidding."

Xiao Yan went to the next room, made up the bedding, and lay down. The night breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, carrying the bitter scent of herbs. From next door came the soft sound of Little Fairy Doctor turning pages of a book, like a cat stepping on cotton.

He closed his eyes. The events of the day unconsciously flashed through his mind.

The third page of the Vulcan's Illustrated Catalogue, Wings of the Vulcan, Iron-Winged Dragon, Calamity Poison Body, Little Fairy Doctor.

So much happened today. But what he remembered most was not the moment he obtained the Wings of the Fire God, but the moment when Little Fairy Doctor's eyes reddened when she touched the flames.

Thinking of that white-haired girl, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

The old man whispered from inside the ring, "Kid, stop laughing. Go to sleep."

"it is good."

Xiao Yan turned over and quickly fell asleep.

In the next room, Little Fairy Doctor put down her medical book and glanced at the wall.

She looked down at her hands.

A little warmth still lingered on my fingertips.

"He's a strange person, but surprisingly nice."

She curled her fingers into a fist and placed it on her chest.

Then she closed her eyes too.
