Chapter 44: Xiao Yi Xian, Come With Me
Shouting? Embarrassment?
Wu Tian merely scoffed, a faint smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
"Shout if you want. The louder you are, the more people outside will think something… exciting is happening in here."
Then, he paused, his gaze sweeping over her before adding with casual disdain
"But honestly? Your chest isn't big enough, and your hips aren't round enough. You don't interest me at all."
Xiao Yi Xian's Furious Retaliation
Hearing his scornful words, Xiao Yi Xian's anger erupted like a raging inferno.
Criticizing her strength? Fine.
But saying she had no curves?!
Did he have any idea how many men drooled over her in Qing Shan Town?
How dare he insult her like this?!
She wasn't just angry she was furious!
However, even in her rage, she knew she couldn't scream.
Her voice was soft and delicate by nature.
If she yelled now, the men outside would misunderstand the situation.
They'd think… something inappropriate was happening.
Her reputation would be utterly ruined!
Frustrated and helpless, tears welled up in her eyes.
Feeling completely trapped, her aggrieved sobs spilled out like a waterfall.
"What do you even want from me?!" she choked out between sniffles, glaring at him with teary eyes full of resentment.
A Mysterious Proposal
Wu Tian leaned in closer, closing the distance to a mere ten centimeters.
From this range, every single detail of her delicate face every eyelash, every pore was completely exposed to him.
A faint fragrance drifted from her body, but Wu Tian remained unmoved.
His expression stayed calm as he spoke
"Do you want to suppress your Calamity Poison Body?"
Xiao Yi Xian's Shock
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes widened sharply.
This time, she wasn't just surprised she was shaken to her core.
Her reaction was completely visible to Wu Tian.
There was no doubt about it
This boy…
He knew everything.
Her Calamity Poison Body was like a ticking time bomb.
She knew exactly how dangerous she was.
That was why she never stayed in one place for too long.
She refused to let herself grow attached to anyone.
Because in the end, she might unintentionally kill them all.
Yet now…
This boy casually revealed her biggest secret as if it were nothing.
Her breath hitched.
But before she could respond, he continued
"I can't help you right now, but I know of a place where you can find an ancient poison scripture."
"If you cultivate it, you'll be able to suppress your poison body for now."
Too Good to Be True?
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up with hope.
She had never wanted to practice poison techniques before.
But if it meant controlling her own body
If it meant saving lives instead of taking them
She would do it.
Still…
She wasn't naive.
Her hope quickly turned into suspicion.
"Where is this poison scripture?"
Her gaze sharpened.
"And more importantly… why are you telling me all this?"
Wu Tian's Next Move
Wu Tian smirked faintly, inching even closer.
Xiao Yi Xian's breath hitched.
At such an intimate distance, her heart pounded violently in her chest.
Was he…
Was he about to kiss her?!
Didn't he just say he had no interest in her?!
Her large, beautiful eyes fluttered, her lips parting slightly in nervous anticipation.
She could even feel his warm breath against her skin
But then
Instead of kissing her…
His lips brushed past her cheek, stopping right at her ear.
A gentle breath of warmth tickled her flushed earlobe.
Then, his low, husky voice murmured
"Xiao Yi Xian, just know that I won't hurt you."
"Come with me."
Xiao Yi Xian: Flustered and Confused
A sudden wave of heat rushed through Xiao Yi Xian's body.
What…
What did he mean by that?!
Was this…
Was this a confession?!
Before she could even process what was happening
Wu Tian suddenly released her.
Then, with a swift motion
He pulled her up to her feet.
But he didn't let go.
He kept a firm grip on her slender wrist.
More importantly…
He didn't untie the binding around her hands.
Her anger finally erupted.
"Hey! You're too overbearing!
You said you wouldn't hurt me, yet you won't even untie me?!"
Wu Tian responded calmly
"I meant what I said."
"I won't hurt you."
"But I can't trust that you won't try to poison me again."
"Your poison may not affect me, but it's still dirty."
Xiao Yi Xian: Absolutely Furious
Dirty?!
DIRTY?!
AHHHHH!
Xiao Yi Xian felt the overwhelming urge to bite him to death.
This boy is the most annoying person I've ever met!
But before she could retaliate
Wu Tian dragged her toward the door.
With a casual wave of his hand, a flash of cyan energy surged forward.
The tightly sealed door instantly disintegrated into nothingness.
An Angry Mob Outside
Outside the building
A huge crowd had gathered.
Most of them were mercenaries, all of whom idolized Xiao Yi Xian.
And now
They were staring at Wu Tian with burning hostility.
Their goddess was being forcibly held by a young man in white robes.
Her delicate wrist was trapped in his grip.
She looked…
helpless.
Rage burned in their eyes.
To them, Wu Tian wasn't just an intruder.
He was the enemy.
Wu Tian merely smirked, his expression full of mockery.
To him, these people were insects.
Weaklings.
Not worth his time.
But among them
A particularly foolish looking man stood out.
A burly, scar faced mercenary his rage filled eyes locked onto Wu Tian.
"Release Xiao Yi Xian immediately!"
His voice boomed through the air.
Wu Tian raised a brow in mild amusement.
Oh?
A Dou Shi?
There was only one Dou Shi in Qing Shan Town.
Which meant…
This must be Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Beside him, two other men He Meng and Gan Mu stood with equally murderous expressions.
But the most ridiculous one was
A young man, looking just as foolish as the rest, suddenly shouted dramatically
"I'm Mu Li, the young master of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!
Let go of my wife or I'll kill you, bastard!"
…
Wu Tian ignored him.
Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes in disgust.
These men were delusional.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian simply sighed.
"A bunch of ants barking at a dragon."
His patience was running out.
Did they have a death wish?
