Chapter 335: Ambiguous
Inside the cave, Xiao Yi Xian stood nervously, clutching the sleeves of her clothes. If the outlaws from the Black-Corner region saw her like this, they would be astonished. Isn't she the leader of the Dark Alliance, who suppresses all Black-Corner forces with an iron fist?
After setting up a concealment method, Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Yi Xian. Seeing her so nervous, he thought for a moment and smiled.
"No need to be so nervous. Besides, while skin-to-skin contact isn't necessary, you at least need to remove your outer clothes."
Perhaps due to Xiao Ze's smile, the tension in Xiao Yi Xian eased a bit. She removed the black cloak she was wearing, revealing practical black clothes suited for movement and combat. Her slender fingers rested on the buttons of her clothes, but upon seeing Xiao Ze still looking at her, her blush intensified.
With a look, Xiao Yi Xian made Xiao Ze clear his throat and turn around.
Seeing Xiao Ze turn away, Xiao Yi Xian sighed in relief. Although their relationship was very close and Xiao Ze's promise from the previous night made her feel better, she still wasn't mentally prepared to change clothes under his gaze.
With Xiao Ze's back turned, she could relax a bit. She began unbuttoning her clothes, fully trusting him. Knowing Xiao Ze wouldn't look back, she focused on changing. According to Xiao Ze's instructions, she didn't need to be completely naked, but she shouldn't wear thick clothes.
She had asked a scarred woman to prepare a black gauze dress. When she requested this, the woman was incredulous but eventually obeyed. With a flick of her spatial ring, Xiao Yi Xian brought out the black gauze dress, so light it seemed weightless. Feeling the fabric between her fingers, she could clearly perceive the temperature of her fingers through it.
"This woman actually found such a thin dress…"
With a racing heart, Xiao Yi Xian unbuttoned the rest of her clothes. Meanwhile, Xiao Ze stood with his back to her, listening to the soft sounds of clothing. He took a deep breath, clearing his mind of any distracting thoughts. He had learned to control his desires through many experiences.
Although he had desires and feelings like anyone else, Xiao Ze knew this was neither the time nor place for them to dominate his mind. He needed to be completely focused to help Xiao Yi Xian with her Poison Body of Calamity.
"Ready."
Xiao Yi Xian's soft, timid voice came from behind. Xiao Ze turned around slowly and saw her sitting on a stone platform, dressed in the light black gauze dress that revealed her skin in the light. Her long braids draped over her shoulders, and her legs were folded to one side.
Xiao Ze looked briefly before fixing his gaze on Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, clearing his mind of any distracting thoughts. Seeing the seriousness on his face, Xiao Yi Xian relaxed a bit, though she also felt a slight disappointment.
Am I not attractive at all?
Xiao Ze approached and focused his gaze into Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. Within an illusory space, a golden branch representing the Poison Body of Calamity trembled slightly. Fresh blood began to emanate from Xiao Ze's palm, forming a drop of blood containing the power of poison. Under the powerful force of Xiao Ze's soul, the drop of blood transformed into a special symbol and was placed on Xiao Yi Xian's forehead.
"This is my original blood. It can protect your soul's strength and suppress the poison's power. It's crucial for this process."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, her eyelashes trembling as she looked at Xiao Ze.
"Go ahead. At worst, my Poison Body of Calamity will explode again. I haven't accumulated much poison yet, so I can endure a few more explosions."
"Trust me, we'll succeed on the first try." Xiao Ze took a deep breath and spoke with determination.
Though Xiao Yi Xian spoke casually, the explosion of the Poison Body of Calamity would be a great burden for her, something Xiao Ze did not want her to endure.
After discussing it in detail, Xiao Ze decided to start with the arm. His fingers touched Xiao Yi Xian's, and feeling the warmth, she slightly withdrew her hand but didn't break the contact.
Under Xiao Ze's control, the poison's power in Xiao Yi Xian's arm began to concentrate. This process was extremely delicate since the Poison Body of Calamity had poison in every inch of flesh. Just the hand took half a day, thanks to Xiao Ze's powerful soul force, something others couldn't endure.
Finishing with the hand, Xiao Ze used his other hand to temporarily seal the poison, preventing it from returning. As his fingers moved along Xiao Yi Xian's arm, she felt more embarrassed but remained silent, seeing his concentration.
With practice, Xiao Ze increased his speed and soon completed Xiao Yi Xian's arm. He didn't proceed immediately with other areas but transferred the poison to the symbol on her forehead.
The symbol emitted a purple-gray light, and Xiao Yi Xian sighed in relief. Though she had stopped consuming poison and focused on her training, the poison was always present. Now, she felt a lightness never experienced before, causing a soft moan.
This soft sigh filled the cave with an ambiguous atmosphere.
