"Did it succeed?"
As Mo Yu gazed at Xiao Yixian radiating a powerful aura before him, he was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.
At his words, the endless gray poison mist surged toward Xiao Yixian's body, rapidly converging within her. Her aura climbed steadily, and in mere moments, it surged to a peak that even surpassed the formidable Tian Shuang Zi.
"Truly deserving of the Woeful Poison Body—impressive indeed," Mo Yu murmured, marveling at the transformation.
He had personally witnessed Xiao Yixian's journey from a healer in a small mountain town to the formidable figure she was now. Such growth left him in awe of the Woeful Poison Body's overwhelming potential.
As Mo Yu mused, Xiao Yixian's gray-purple eyes gradually regained clarity, and her powerful aura stabilized completely.
"You're awake. How do you feel?" Mo Yu asked eagerly.
"Everything went smoothly. I successfully condensed the Poison Pill," she replied with a gentle smile.
"Good. From now on, you'll no longer be troubled by the Woeful Poison Body. Fully mastering it means that even on this continent, you'll be considered among the top-tier experts," Mo Yu said with a soft laugh.
Indeed, with the potent Woeful Poison Body and her newly advanced strength, even powerful factions like the Three Valleys and Four Pavilions would find it challenging to deal with her.
Xiao Yixian nodded, still a bit amazed by her newfound strength.
"Can you… turn around for a moment?"
After the initial joy subsided, her delicate face turned scarlet, and she spoke in a shy, soft voice.
Mo Yu blinked, momentarily puzzled. Then, as his gaze fell on the scene before him, he awkwardly chuckled, quickly turning his head to the side.
Seeing his obedient response, Xiao Yixian finally exhaled in relief. Although Mo Yu had already seen her before, the situation still left her feeling incredibly embarrassed.
Suppressing her shyness, she gracefully stood from the bed. With a wave of her slender hand, a pristine white robe floated out from her storage ring, enveloping her flawless figure in a swirl of fabric.
"Alright."
Hearing her soft voice behind him, Mo Yu turned back around.
Clad in a white dress, her aura more mature due to her breakthrough, Xiao Yixian appeared even more breathtaking. A flicker of astonishment crossed Mo Yu's eyes.
"You're likely a Dou Zun now, aren't you?" he asked with a smile.
"Mm."
She nodded lightly, her expression serene but content. The long-standing shadow of the Woeful Poison Body was finally dispelled, and with her Poison Pill condensed, she had gained full control over her unique constitution.
From now on, the Woeful Poison Body would no longer be a double-edged sword but a weapon she alone could wield.
"You've broken through too—Six-Star Dou Zong already. That's truly astonishing," Xiao Yixian said, her beautiful eyes sparkling with surprise as she sensed Mo Yu's current strength.
"Haha, it's all thanks to you for not absorbing all the energy from the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder. I reaped the benefit and directly broke through by three stars," Mo Yu chuckled.
"That was yours to begin with—there's no need to thank me," she replied softly, shaking her head.
Though the vast energy of Thunder Soul could have benefited her Poison Pill condensation, Xiao Yixian knew that Mo Yu had already helped her tremendously. She decided to return the favor by allowing him to claim the energy.
"So, what's your plan next?" she asked, her gaze fixed intently on him.
From the moment Mo Yu helped her condense the Poison Pill, her heart was completely tied to his. No matter where he went, she was determined to follow.
Hearing her question, Mo Yu hesitated briefly before rubbing his chin and saying, "I need to head to the Southern Region."
"The Southern Region?" Xiao Yixian looked puzzled.
Mo Yu then explained the matter of She Lao and his search for the Nine-Winged Purple Gold Serpent's legacy.
After listening, Xiao Yixian nodded. "Then I'll go with you."
However, Mo Yu shook his head. "No need. I have another task for you."
He proceeded to explain his concerns about relocating the Yuan Manor from the Black-Corner Region to Central Plains, as well as the potential dangers they might face from hostile factions.
"You're worried that enemy forces might target Yuan Manor in secret?" she asked, her expression serious.
"Exactly. Times have changed. After wiping out the Ice River Valley, my reputation has spread across Central Plains. If these factions learn of my roots in the Northwest Region, I fear they might attack Yuan Manor," Mo Yu replied gravely.
Although his strength had grown significantly since arriving in Central Plains, he had also accumulated many enemies.
Master Zhu Jian, Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, Tian Shuang Zi, and even Di Ming Sect—all harbored animosity toward him. While he had arranged for the Black Thunder Banner Squad to escort Yuan Manor, he felt uneasy.
After all, these factions possessed Dou Zun-level experts. Mo Yu couldn't afford to take any risks with Yuan Manor, a seed he had nurtured with great care to eventually become a towering force.
"I understand. You head to the Southern Region, and I'll escort Yuan Manor. With my strength, you can rest assured," Xiao Yixian said firmly.
"Thank you," Mo Yu said with a smile.
With Xiao Yixian's current strength, even Tian Shuang Zi would be no match for her. Her presence would guarantee Yuan Manor's safety.
"There's no need to thank me. I'm just curious if your fiancée and other admirers will be pleased to see me," she teased, a playful smile tugging at her lips as she looked at Mo Yu with a meaningful gaze.
"Uh…"
Freed from the shadow of her poison constitution, Xiao Yixian seemed more cheerful and teasing. Her unexpected quip caught Mo Yu off guard.
But Mo Yu was no fool. Quickly piecing together her meaning, he made a decision.
In the original story, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian's ambiguous relationship had dragged on for years without resolution. Mo Yu silently vowed that such a situation would never occur with him.
With that thought, he stepped forward decisively, closing the distance between them. As he approached, a crimson streak of lightning flickered around him.
Once the crimson lightning emerged, crackling and buzzing sounds of electricity echoed in the air. In the next moment, the crimson lightning currents connected up and down, strangely forming a heart-shaped pattern.
Under Xiao Yixian's astonished gaze, crimson lightning was followed by white, green, and silver lightning, one after another, filling the air.
These Thunder Souls, each famous across the continent, now under someone's deliberate control, transformed into one romantic heart-shaped figure after another. At the center of this vivid spectacle stood a certain someone.
By the time Mo Yu walked to Xiao Yixian's front, seven lightning heart patterns of various colors already encircled him, shining brilliantly like a radiant rainbow.
With a thought, the lightning heart patterns opened a gap, instantly wrapping around Xiao Yixian. At the very center of this scene were Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian together.
Despite silently ridiculing his own penchant for romance, Mo Yu, recalling Xiao Yan's infuriating indecisiveness, saw it as a lesson. Without hesitation, he gently took Xiao Yixian's delicate hand and smiled softly.
"Xiao Yixian, if you don't mind, will you be my woman?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian froze momentarily. Her gaze lowered slightly as she bit her lip. A shy blush spread across her stunningly beautiful face, even reaching her crystalline ears.
Though she had guessed his intentions the moment she saw the lightning heart, when Mo Yu finally spoke, she still felt as if she were in a dream.
To become Mo Yu's woman?
As this thought crossed her mind, Xiao Yixian realized she felt neither resistance nor rejection. On the contrary, her heart brimmed with joy and satisfaction. Perhaps, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Yixian remain silent, Mo Yu's expression stiffened. Doubts began to swirl in his mind—had he misjudged? Was it just wishful thinking on his part?
Embarrassment flickered in Mo Yu's silver eyes. Just as he prepared to dispel the lightning hearts, a soft, delicate whisper reached his ears.
"Yes, I'm willing."
Mo Yu froze in place. After a brief moment, he regained his senses, and his face lit up with joy.
To say that he didn't have feelings for Xiao Yixian would be a lie. After all, she wasn't only breathtakingly beautiful but also possessed extraordinary talent and strength. She was the kind of woman revered as a goddess across the Dou Qi Continent.
Any man would be moved by such a woman, and Mo Yu was no exception.
Now that he had won her heart, Mo Yu felt no need to feign modesty. Staring at her enchanting, blushing face, he leaned forward and gently planted a kiss on her soft, rosy lips.
The night passed quietly.
At dawn the next morning, in the northern plaza of Tian Huang City, near the spatial wormhole.
After Mo Yu helped the Liu Clan secure control over the wormhole, this sought-after spatial wormhole now belonged entirely to the Liu Clan.
Early that morning, Mo Yu informed Liu Qing that he would be using the wormhole to travel to the Southern Region. Liu Qing, having received prior notice, had already made arrangements.
When Mo Yu and his group arrived at the plaza, it was a relatively quiet period. They stepped onto the stone platform where the slowly rotating spatial wormhole came into view.
The wormhole in Tian Huang City appeared rather ordinary, reflecting the city's modest standing even within the Central Plains.
"Brother Mo, where's Miss Xiao Yixian?" Liu Qing asked curiously, noticing only Mo Yu and Qing Zhi.
Mo Yu paused for a moment before rubbing his nose and replying, "She has some matters to attend to. This trip to the Southern Region will just be Qing Zhi and me."
"Oh..." Liu Qing nodded without further inquiry.
"Tian Huang City doesn't have a direct route to the Southern Region. You'll first need to head to a city called Qing Hai City. Only from there can you access a wormhole leading to the Southern Region," Liu Qing explained, handing Mo Yu a map.
Taking the map, Mo Yu smiled faintly and patted Liu Qing on the shoulder before bidding him farewell.
As they parted ways, Mo Yu took out a silver-colored small boat and tossed it into the air. It expanded rapidly, transforming into a massive spacefaring vessel.
Mo Yu and Qing Zhi leapt aboard. Qing Zhi activated an energy shield that enveloped the ship, ensuring their safety.
The vessel trembled slightly before accelerating with a whoosh, streaking toward the boundless spatial wormhole.
Aboard the space vessel, as Tian Huang City faded into the distance and the journey to the Southern Region began, Mo Yu's thoughts wandered.
Recalling the intimate events of the previous night, he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
After confirming his relationship with Xiao Yixian, though certain unspeakable things had occurred, he refrained from taking the final step out of respect for her.
Even so, Xiao Yixian's shyness had kept her from coming to see him off. In her stead, Mo Yu had left Hei Fu (Black Bat King) behind to look after her.
While he felt joy at making Xiao Yixian his woman, he experienced no exaggerated sense of accomplishment. To him, it felt natural, as if everything had fallen into place.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu's thoughts drifted to Xiao Yan.
While many envied Xiao Yan for marrying Xun'er, Mo Yu saw it as a double-edged sword.
Aside from the unexpected situation with Cai Lin, Xiao Yan's reluctance to gather his many admirers stemmed not just from emotional hesitation but also from Xun'er's overwhelmingly powerful background.
The Xiao Clan's decline left a chasm of disparity between Xiao Yan and Xun'er. Without unwavering commitment, not only would the elders of the Gu Clan object, but even Xun'er herself might question her choice.
Days passed, and after five uneventful days, Mo Yu and Qing Zhi arrived at Qing Hai City. After a brief rest, they rushed to the city's spatial wormhole, heading directly to the Southern Region.
At Qing Hai City, Mo Yu encountered a completely different environment from the Northwest Continent and the Central Plains. This region was humid, with numerous rivers and lakes. Here, Mo Yu witnessed the legendary Hai Clan for the first time.
The Hai Clan, a unique race in the Southern Region, resembled the Snake-People Clan, combining the traits of both magical beasts and humans. They were not only strikingly exotic in appearance but also extraordinarily powerful.
With curiosity about the Southern Region's wonders, Mo Yu and Qing Zhi joined the long line of travelers entering the dark spatial wormhole.
Within the wormhole, the journey was monotonous as always. However, this time, it was no longer silent. The wide spatial passage bustled with countless vessels zipping past, accompanied by the chatter of travelers, filling the passage with lively noise.
Amidst this lively rush, the distant Southern Region drew nearer.
After ten days of travel, faint silver glimmers finally appeared on the horizon, radiating powerful spatial energy.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Mo Yu stared at the silver circle in the distance, his determination to revive She Lao growing stronger.
Southern Region.
I, Mo Yu, have arrived.
