Xiao Yan focused intently as he examined Dugu Yan's pulse, while Dugu Yan blinked her unusual green eyes and watched him closely.
Xiao Yan had cultivated since childhood and already possessed refined, handsome features. After his martial soul's second awakening, he appeared even more elegant and outstanding. After consuming the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's bead, not only did his hair return to its original black color, but his noble aura also faintly carried a trace of wickedness. These contrasting qualities blended together, making him even more captivating.
When this guy is quiet, he's actually pretty pleasing to look at, Dugu Yan thought. A smile naturally appeared on her face. And he's not afraid of my snake poison either…
As she kept thinking, her heartbeat began to accelerate. Her emotions became unsettled, her cheeks slowly turning red. She could feel a strange stirring deep in her heart.
She had never been in love before and didn't really know what she felt toward Xiao Yan.
If she had to give an answer, it would be curiosity.
How could a Blue Silver Grass soul master possess such terrifying strength—and such unheard-of pulse-diagnosis techniques?
"Switch to your other hand." Xiao Yan raised his head and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Dugu Yan staring at him, he said calmly, "Pulse diagnosis is just to assess your physical condition. There's no danger at all. You don't need to be afraid or nervous—just keep a steady state of mind."
Dugu Yan snapped back to her senses and realized Xiao Yan was looking at her. She instinctively shifted backward. Hearing his words, all her earlier thoughts vanished instantly.
"You jerk!"
She clenched her fists angrily, but thinking that she wasn't his opponent, she resentfully relaxed her grip and cooperatively extended her other hand.
"You're better when you don't talk."
Xiao Yan was completely confused. What was wrong with Dugu Yan? Did her period suddenly start? Bleeding women are not to be messed with…
Placing his fingers on her other wrist, Xiao Yan seriously examined her pulse.
After completing a full diagnosis, Xiao Yan had a fairly clear understanding of Dugu Yan's condition.
"Well?" Dugu Yan rubbed her wrist. "You held my hand for so long—what did you figure out?"
Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile. With snake poison spreading everywhere, an ordinary person would probably lose their life just by touching her.
"I understand your condition now. Before tonight, prepare a bathtub three meters wide. For the next period of time, I'll prepare medicinal baths for you. They'll regulate your body and make future treatments easier."
Hearing Xiao Yan speak so confidently, Dugu Yan began to trust his abilities a bit more.
"You really have a way to cure the snake poison that plagues us Jade Phosphor Serpent soul masters?"
"Otherwise, why would I be here?" Xiao Yan glanced at her short purple hair. Luckily, he'd recently accumulated some short-hair references.
Judging her figure, Xiao Yan raised his hand and condensed a light-purple dress, complete with stockings, accessories, and shoes—a full outfit.
"You should normally wear this kind of weighted clothing. It'll also enhance your physical fitness."
Thinking of Dugu Bo's miserable condition back then, Xiao Yan added, "It weighs about fifty jin. Be careful when you pick it up."
Dugu Yan had originally been shocked by Xiao Yan's mastery of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul—using it to make clothes, and doing it so well.
But upon hearing the weight, she was startled.
"Fifty jin?!"
"Something that heavy—can anyone even wear it?"
Xiao Yan scratched his head. He was currently wearing nearly a hundred thousand jin of weighted clothing himself and felt just like a normal person.
"You can definitely wear it. It'll just be tougher than usual. That's how it strengthens your body."
Thinking of how Xiao Yan made a dress in just a few breaths, Dugu Yan's green eyes narrowed.
"How do you know so much about women's clothing?"
She was just short of calling him a pervert.
"That's not the point." Xiao Yan glanced at her green-painted nails. "I suggest you stop using these strange cosmetics. Their ingredients react with the snake poison you emit, forming a new harmful toxin. Over time, it can easily lead to infertility."
"In… infertility…"
The moment those words left his mouth, Dugu Yan's face turned bright red at a visible speed. Overcome with embarrassment, she grabbed the weighted outfit from the table and hurled it at Xiao Yan.
"Who wants to have kids with you?!"
Xiao Yan immediately fled the room, feeling utterly wronged.
I just said it could cause infertility. I didn't say you, this little—well, actually quite big—girl should have kids with me!
...
Night gradually fell. A waning moon hung in the sky, its pale light blanketing the earth. A few stars popped out, blinking around the moon-boat—such a beautiful night.
Looking at the dozen medicine cauldrons in front of him, Xiao Yan felt bitter inside. Why was he always stuck with such a laborious fate?
When would he ever get to just sit back and enjoy life?
"Xiao Yan, how long is this going to take?" Dugu Yan, who had been waiting beside him for a while, was starting to lose patience.
Compared to Zhu Zhuqing and the others, Dugu Yan was clearly a fully matured enchantress.
Her skin was snow-white; beneath spring-mountain-like brows were emerald-green eyes. Her nose bridge was straight and exquisitely sculpted, radiating confidence. Her lips were soft and beautifully curved, making one want to take a bite. Her chin was sharp yet rounded, full of personality—altogether, a flawless face.
Slender brows, clear eyes, a refined nose, rosy lips, and smooth cheeks—all perfectly combined into a dazzlingly seductive beauty, accompanied by an irresistible charm.
Especially the perfectly designed outfit resembling light-purple petals—the butterfly knot at the chest highlighted her graceful allure and full, rounded curves.
Her slender waist, long snow-white legs wrapped in white pantyhose, looked crystal-clear and radiant like the bright moon.
Xiao Yan raised his head and said, "Probably another twenty minutes."
Resting her chin in her hands, Dugu Yan puffed up her cheeks and glared at the gray-brown medicine cauldrons, wishing she could breathe fire and boil them red-hot instantly.
Dugu Bo, who was reading nearby, spoke up:
"It's only twenty minutes. Be patient."
Looking at the palm-sized Lovesick Heartbroken Red, shaped like a peony, Xiao Yan said:
"Brewing medicine is pretty boring. How about I tell you a story related to flowers?"
"You know how to tell stories too?" Dugu Bo closed his book and looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. "I just heard it somewhere."
Hearing there was a story, Dugu Yan perked up and urged eagerly:
"Hurry up—tell it already!"
