BTTH: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Magical Beast Mountain Range, within a secluded valley.

Inside a thatched cottage, mist curled in the air. Amid the faint haze, a woman in white lay on a bed, her eyes tightly shut. Her once rosy cheeks had taken on an eerie, multicolored hue.

At this moment, the woman seemed as if she had stopped breathing entirely. In her hand, she still clutched a small pouch of black powder, and faint traces of the powder lingered on her red lips. Anyone who saw this scene would have assumed she had poisoned herself to death.

Moments later, the strange colors on her cheeks slowly faded. The woman's closed eyes fluttered before she gradually opened them—a flash of confusion quickly replaced by clarity.

"Was the dosage too high?"

Xiao Yi Xian raised the pouch in her hand and examined the remaining powder inside, murmuring to herself. This was the first time she had ever passed out from consuming poison.

Ever since Xiao Bai had told her that he didn't mind her Calamity Poison Body, and even promised that he had a way to resolve it, she had completely let go of her restraints.

She no longer controlled her intake of poison—as long as her body could withstand it, she ingested as much as possible!

She had even hoped to help him in some way.

But unexpectedly, this new Tier 2 poison had been too strong, and she actually blacked out!

"I'll have to be more careful next time. If something goes wrong while Xiao Bai isn't here, knowing his temper, he definitely wouldn't let me stay here alone anymore."

Xiao Yi Xian tapped her forehead lightly, whispering to herself.

"As long as you understand that!"

A voice echoed from the distance, growing closer.

"Xiao Bai!"

Xiao Yi Xian's face lit up with joy. She was about to run outside but suddenly remembered something. Quickly, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her lips carefully.

"No need to wipe. I already saw it."

A figure pushed open the door and entered, smiling.

"You're back!"

Afraid he would scold her, Xiao Yi Xian beamed at him, a bright, cheerful smile blooming on her delicate face as she ran to his side.

"Silly girl. Do you trust me that much? You really dared to take so much poison that you passed out? And this is the Magical Beast Mountain Range—aren't you afraid a magical beast might wander in? That's too dangerous!"

Xiao Bai reached out and gently ruffled her silky hair, scolding her softly.

"Not afraid! Xiao Lan is nearby, keeping watch!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked up at him, eyes curving into crescent moons as she smiled.

Xiao Bai was speechless. A mere Tier 1 Eagle Beast? What use is that?!

'Maybe I should find a stronger magical beast in this mountain range, tame it, and station it here in the valley…'

Xiao Bai rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.

"Xiao Bai, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Yi Xian reached out and poked his chest with her slender finger.

"Nothing much. Oh, right—guess what this is?"

Xiao Bai pulled out a gray scroll from his storage ring and waved it at her.

"Th-this… could it be…"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flashed with excitement as she stared at the scroll, her voice trembling slightly.

"Take a look!"

Xiao Bai smiled and handed it to her.

With trembling hands, Xiao Yi Xian carefully accepted the scroll and slowly unrolled it.

Her gaze swept across the text, but soon, the excitement in her eyes dimmed.

Noticing her disappointment, a knowing smile flickered in Xiao Bai's eyes.

"It's Difficult, isn't it?"

"Yes…"

Xiao Yi Xian, still lost in her disheartened thoughts, subconsciously nodded.

"Don't worry. I already have an idea of how to solve this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you this method in the first place!"

Xiao Bai spoke with confidence and certainty—right now, he had to give her hope. Otherwise, she might sink into despair again.

"Really?"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, filled with expectation and longing.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xiao Bai nodded.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at him.

"Hmph! Someone lied to me the very first time we met. Big liar!"

"Haha…"

Xiao Bai chuckled, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hmph!"

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yi Xian snorted softly. But as she recalled their first meeting, a warm feeling rose in her heart.

She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around him, resting her head against his chest.

In a soft voice, she murmured: "Xiao Bai… why are you so good to me?"

"I don't know… maybe it's fate."

Xiao Bai wrapped his arms around her slender waist, thought for a moment, and whispered.

"Fate, huh…"

Xiao Yi Xian was momentarily stunned. She closed her eyes, inhaling the familiar warmth of his presence, and murmured:

"In this life, if you never betray me, I shall never betray you."

Xiao Bai froze for a moment, caught off guard by her words. A hint of warmth flickered in his gaze before he leaned down and softly whispered into her ear:

"Xian'er, I want to test poison with my own body."

Xiao Yi Xian was puzzled at first. Test poison? What poison?

Did Xiao Bai want to start consuming poisons too?

Then she felt the subtle movements of his hands around her waist. Realizing what he meant, her face instantly flushed red.

"Scoundrel!"

She struggled out of his embrace, glaring at him with both embarrassment and anger. How had she never noticed his true nature before?

Putting it so elegantly—"testing poison on himself." Was that really what he meant? She was almost too embarrassed to call him out!

"Hey, hey, hey! Xian'er, what are you doing?"

"Heh… aren't you the one who wanted to test poison? I'm just helping you out!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a cold chuckle, pulling out a vial of Eight-Winged Black Emperor Serpent Poison from her storage ring. She looked at him playfully and said,

"Don't worry! Xian'er will be very gentle."

"This is attempted murder, you know that, right?" Xiao Bai protested.

"Relax, this isn't murder. However much you take, I'll take the same. Fair, right?" Her eyes sparkled with amusement, her voice soft and sweet.

"…"

Xiao Bai gave her a thumbs-up, completely surrendering. Who in their right mind would compete with the Calamity Poison Body in poison consumption?

Did he have a death wish?!

"Now you understand! Let's see if you dare 'test poison' again in the future!"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled triumphantly.

But deep down, a trace of sadness flickered in her heart.

Her entire body was poisonous—even getting close to him required extreme caution. How could she ever hope for anything more?

She knew that Xiao Bai had only been playing along to ease her worries, but as long as her physique remained uncontrollable, how could she truly move forward?

Xiao Bai had given her a glimmer of hope today, but she dared not hold onto it too tightly.

It was simply too difficult.

Gathering three Heavenly Flames was already an impossible task.

Yet the method required fusing them, along with two other mysterious materials she had never even heard of.

She didn't know much about the world, but even she understood the difficulty.

The scroll even stated that many had been born with the Calamity Poison Body throughout history, but not a single one had succeeded in overcoming it.

Could she really be the exception?

"Yes, yes! You're incredible!"

Xiao Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded hastily.

Seeing him put on such an exaggerated act, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Amusement and warmth intertwined in her heart as she gracefully stepped forward. Reaching out, she gently caressed his handsome face.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with affection as she softly murmured: "Xiao Bai, if fate truly grants me that day… then everything that is mine shall be yours."
