79,000 poisonous invaders

  The wind and snow swirled, the lamp shadow was hazy.

  The old man's hunched figure in the lamplight was somewhat indistinct. As if a wisp of ethereal smoke had veiled his deep eyes.

  "Old man, we were on our way when we encountered this snowstorm and happened to see the lights of your village. We followed the light here! I wonder if it would be convenient for us to stay overnight?"

  Ruan Qinchun's pale lips moved slightly, her slender figure was filled with an ethereal aura.

  "Can you see the lights of our village?"

  The old man's voice was trembling with excitement, his arm waved and he hastily called the villagers to gather them.

  "Hmm! Hmm! Although it's a bit faint, I can still see it clearly! Is there anything wrong?"

  Taoyi Meng's clear and melodious voice fell lightly. A lovely face popped out from behind Ruan Qindeng, catching everyone's attention.

  "No problem, no problem! It's cold and snowy outside, please come in quickly, honored guests!"

  "Come on in!"

  "Everyone prepare some hot wine and dishes to warm up our honored guests!"

  "Alright!"

  The villagers enthusiastically brought out the good wine and meat hidden in their homes, with an exceptionally warm attitude.

  Lan Mingxuan's eyes, like the deep sea, gazed at Yuexue Village with a calm and waveless expression. The flames on his shoulders lightly fluttered their wings, as if sensing an ominous aura.

  Ruan Qincheng's eyes, which had been calm and peaceful like a lotus flower, flashed with a hint of warning, for the spiritual beast's perception of danger was extremely strong. Even Xuejing Luan, who had been sleeping soundly on his wrist, suddenly opened her eyes and quietly poked out her small head.

  At the moment when Xue Jing's head popped out, Tao Suimei's body suddenly trembled violently and looked around.

  "Ah..."

  A group of people were brought to the village chief's house, with thick snow piled up on the wooden roof, and the heavy door was closed, shaking off the accumulated snow on the eaves.

  "Bang!"

  The charcoal fire in the house burned fiercely, dispelling the cold outside. Sparks jumped in the stove, with a bright orange glow that flickered on and off.

  "A few noble guests are sitting here warming up by the fire! The village is poor and has nothing good to entertain you, so please make do!"

  The old village chief stroked his long white beard, and his aged voice told the story of the ruthless passage of time.

  "Never mind! We just need a place to take shelter from the wind and snow for a rest!"

  Ruan Qinchun sat on a kang covered with thick animal hides, the warm heat from the kang head warming his body considerably.

  "If you don't mind, then stay in my daughter's room."

  The old village chief's eyes seemed somewhat unusual at this point, but under the dim light, no one noticed.

  "Huh? What's that delicious smell?"

  Tao Xian's round eyes sparkled as she licked her lips and exclaimed excitedly.

  Seeing her greedy appearance, everyone couldn't help but smile.

  The Fire God Month coldly despised her with a glance, his proud voice falling with ill temper.

  "Starved to death and reincarnated! It's as if they've never eaten anything for several lifetimes! Is it embarrassing or not?"

  "Hmph, I'm just hungry, what's wrong with that? Who says you can't eat when your stomach is empty?"

  Taohua suddenly jumped up and said with a puffed out chest.

  "Gulu——"

  A low voice came from the belly of Huǒ Shén Yuè.

  "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

  Tao Xian Meng was taken aback for a moment, then patted the table and laughed with her head thrown back.

  The villagers brought hot dishes one after another, filling the entire table, bustling about, very lively.

  "Mingxuan, you don't need to wear a conical hat in the house, I'll hang it up for you."

  Ruan Qincheng reached out and lifted the bamboo hat off Lan Mingxuan's head, hanging it on a wooden rack to one side.

  The originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

  "What a handsome man! I didn't know there was someone so good-looking in this world!"

  Taohui Meng widened her eyes, staring at Lan Mingxuan's face in a daze. Her brain was slow to react, she couldn't believe that there was actually a handsome guy who could stir up the wrath of heaven and men right next to her, and she had never even noticed!

  However, after being stunned, she didn't have any extra thoughts. After all, this beautiful man was beautiful enough, but the aura on him was really terrifying, and she wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts even if you killed her!

  I wonder what kind of face is hidden under Xiao Chen's mask?

  The villagers looked at Lan Mingxuan's divine face, and a surge of worship suddenly arose in their hearts. Was it the god who came to save Yuxue Village?

  "Welcome, welcome! Our distinguished guests have come from afar. We don't have any delicacies here, just some plain tea and simple food. Please enjoy it while it's hot!"

  The old village chief looked at Lan Mingxuan's appearance, slightly surprised for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. Only such an appearance can match his noble temperament!

  "Xiao Xiao, aren't you hungry? Why are you still dazing around!"

  Ruan Qincheng looked at Tao Xiumei staring straight at Lan Mingxuan and waved her hand in front of her to remind her.

  "What! Dinner is ready! Hurry up and go eat!"

  Taohua Meng immediately perked up, grasped her chopsticks and started eating. Her movements were incredibly quick, leaving onlookers staring in amazement.

  The villagers all left their houses and didn't disturb them while they ate.

  The old village chief looked flustered.

  "Drink up the soup and warm yourself!"

  Lan Mingxuan's slender fingers pinched a large spoon, scooping up a bowl of old fire bone soup, with a rich and thick flavor.

  "Hmm! You should eat something too!"

  Ruan Qinchun picked up a winter bamboo shoot and stir-fried it with fresh abalone, putting it in his bowl. The plump abalone and winter bamboo shoots were stir-fried to a golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely delicious. The aftertaste lingered in his teeth, the flavor was excellent.

  Lan Mingxuan was eating the dishes she had made, and he felt that the originally simple dishes were even more delicious than the exquisite cuisine made by the imperial chefs in the palace.

  "The lotus roots must be hungry too, I wonder if there's any dessert?"

  Ruan Qindeng's gaze swept across the table and landed on a small basket beside it.

  "Are you having dessert?"

  "I'm not eating, I've had enough with just the dishes! If I eat too many desserts, it's easy to get fat, and then my perfect figure will be gone!"

  Tao Xian said very seriously, rubbing the chubby face of the baby, and helplessly spread out her hands.

  "Desserts are for kids!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè said disdainfully, his expression as aloof as ever, to the point of being arrogant.

  "Hehe! Yue Meiren is right! Kids, it's time for dinner!"

  Ruan Qincheng smiled lightly, her clear voice falling like a gentle stream. She stretched out her pale jade hand and placed a basket of sweet pastries on the chair. Lian Pu, Li Guang, Xue Jing, and Rong's eyes lit up as they pounced on the basket, fighting over the treats. Zhuo Yan hesitated for a moment before finally giving in to the temptation of the delicious food, flapping his wings as he swooped towards the basket.

  Claws waving, several small beasts competed with each other in terms of intimidation and speed, the battle was extremely fierce.

  Taohua Xian's eyes looked at the inverted, eerie creatures with a gaze full of disdain. Lowly bloodlines were just that - lowly, without even a hint of nobility!

  But when its afterglow caught Xiao Bai's Snow Mirror Ring, it almost bulged out its eyeballs!

  What did it see?

  Only Yao Tian was calm, lying on Huo Shen Yue's shoulder and exchanging a glance with its master, ignoring these crazy little things.

  Ruan Qincheng casually ate a bit of food, amusedly watching the few small beasts fighting over it, exceptionally interesting.

  She clearly knew that they were not desperate for food, but rather treated the scramble as a game. Seeing them play so happily, a warm smile floated to her lips.

  "Xiao Budo, what did you say?"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè's mouth twitched at the corner, and he said in a cold voice.

  "Beautiful moon! Don't you think this title suits you? I knew you'd feel the same way!"

  Ruan Qincheng held her chopsticks, a sly smile playing on the corners of her lips.

  "Considering you slept with Xiao Xiao last night, it's proven that you're not gay. So, I'm being very kind to change a new name for you! Don't be too grateful to me!"

  "Hmmph!"

  Tao Xuan Mei, who was drinking soup, was shocked by her words and spat it out. As a result, no one at the table dared to pick up their chopsticks again!

  "Uh, I didn't mean to! If you guys don't mind a tiny bit of saliva, just keep eating!"

  “……”

  "That's enough, you can rest if you're full! We still have a long way to go tomorrow!"

  Ruan Qincheng put down her chopsticks and walked into the inner room with a small basket. The room was not large, with two beds placed inside, separated by only a one-meter-wide aisle. Although the room was a bit small, it was still possible to rest.

  "There are only two beds here, we have four people, two sleeping in one bed is enough!"

  "Qinchen and I will share a bed, you two figure it out!"

  Lan Mingxuan stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Ruan Qincheng's slender waist, and with a flick of his palm, the basket containing several Ling Huan beasts landed on the floor beside the bed. Before Huo Shen Yue and Tao Tai Mei could react, he had already put down the thick silk curtains. Under the bed, two pairs of boots were neatly arranged, looking infinitely ambiguous.

  "Huh? Are they... breaking up?"

  Taohua Meng looked at their bed in a daze, and said with great pain and indignation. I didn't expect that the super handsome man who was so stunningly beautiful that he could move ghosts and gods would be gay, it's really too wasteful!

  What's more important is that Xiao Chen is also a "cut sleeve", doesn't that mean he himself has no chance either?

  "It's too sad! I'd rather die in my sleep!"

  Taohai Mengsan jumped onto the bed, took off her shoes and jacket, and fell asleep hugging the quilt. However, the mysterious aura surrounding her body remained still, staring at the snowy mirror frame as if thinking about something.

  "Hey, idiot, come down quickly!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè glared at her sleeping posture with a hint of blood in his eyes. This guy slept here, so where did he sleep?

  "No, I'm very sleepy, don't disturb me! There's still room here, enough for you to sleep!"

  Taohua murmured something and continued sleeping with her head covered, completely unaware of Huoshen Yue's face turning black with anger.

  Huǒ Shén Yuè's mouth twitched a few times, and he eventually leaned against the bed, crossed his legs, and began to meditate. As a Water Spirit body, he was not afraid of cold air, nor did he feel any discomfort.

  The dark night, without a single moonlight. The howling cold wind outside the house, accompanied by snowflakes falling on the roof. From time to time, there is a sound of accumulated snow falling, and the night is quiet to the extreme.

  Lan Mingxuan held Ruan Qincheng, transferring the warmth from his body to hers. He gently grasped her small hand, his eyes filled with tenderness. Originally she had been sleeping relatively quietly, but after she fell into a deep sleep, feeling the warmth beside her, she subconsciously crawled towards Lan Mingxuan's body.

  Her soft touch ignited the flames of his body, wave after wave crashing against the limits of his self-control.

  He could no longer bear the temptation of her fragrance, so Lan Mingxuan turned over and pinned her under his body, with fiery kisses falling densely. His fingers also couldn't help but start wandering, causing her to shudder violently, and she suddenly opened her sleepy eyes.

  "Wooo——"

  Ruan Qincheng saw clearly the appearance of Lan Mingxuan, and suddenly felt extremely shy. Suddenly thinking of Huo Shen Yue and Tao Suimei just a foot away from them, her face turned bright red in an instant, with a burning sensation that extended to her ears.

  There were people next to him, how dare he do such a crazy thing?

  She stretched out her hand to push his body away, but felt a numbness all over her body and couldn't exert any strength. Only then did she notice his unruly fingers, which made her even more embarrassed.

  The robe had slipped off more than half, just as the two were in a state of confusion and infatuation. Suddenly, a strange and icy chill rose up in the room.

  "Who is it?"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè lěng hē le yī shēng, shǒu zhōng bái wù bān de gōng jī bō, dǒu rán xí juǎn kāi lái.

  Translation:

  The Fire God Month Cold let out a loud cry, the white mist-like attack wave in his hand suddenly unfolded and swept out.

  "Hmm——"

  A puff of white smoke suddenly disappeared into the room and escaped.

  Fire!

  Lan Mingxuan's lips lightly opened, his low and solemn voice filled the air. The candles in the room suddenly lit up at that moment.

  Ruan Qinchun's face was flushed and her ears were red as she tidied up her half-untied clothes, and casually put on the butterfly-shaped hairpin that had been placed on the pillow. The two of them put on their boots and walked out.

  Taohua woke up in a daze and felt the heavy atmosphere in the air, which made her somewhat puzzled. What had happened?

  "What's wrong with you? Why are you all up? Is it dawn?"

  "Beauty of the moon, what did you see just now?"

  Ruan Qinchendian's sensitive feeling caught that icy breath, and she immediately opened her mouth to ask.

  "It's not human!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè said coolly, and didn't bother with her title either.

  "It's a monster!"

  Lan Mingxuan glanced around the room with a cold and clear tone that made people shiver.

  "It seems we've run into trouble! Huh? How can the lotus flowers sleep so soundly?"

  Ruan Qincheng bent down, reached out to pick up Lian Hua, but she was sleeping soundly like a drunkard, without any reaction. Only Xue Jing followed her fingers, slid onto her wrist, and looked at Lian Hua and Li Guang with confusion. She didn't understand how they could sleep better than herself.

  Yu Yan patted her wings and landed on Lán Míng Xuān's shoulder.

  "These little things have been poisoned! And this poison is not a simple poison, it's made from the misty flower on Snow Peak and the intoxicating grass mixed together! The effect is especially strong!"

  Taohai Meng looked at Lianwu with a clear and crisp voice, firmly saying. As a person from the Poison Valley, she was most familiar with poison.

  "Oh? Then can you see where the anesthetic was administered?"

  Ruan Qincheng asked, she didn't expect that the seemingly clever and cunning Tao Xunmei would actually be proficient in poison techniques.

  "Let me see!"

  Taohai Meng rubbed her eyes and pointed her fingers towards the basket.

  Just as everyone was wondering what she was going to do, her palm suddenly lit up. Silver light spots instantly changed the faces of Huo Shen Yue and Lan Ming Xuan.

  Yasaka's Silver Spiritual Power!

  Huǒ Shén Yuè's first real look at this seemingly brainless woman, she was hiding too deeply!

  At this age, being able to reach the 8th rank of Saint Spirit Knight is already extremely rare.

  Ruan Qincheng was unclear what the silver light represented, so she calmly watched from the side.

  Only then did the small basket in Tao Xuan's spiritual power also emit a glow, and a thread of anesthetic fell into her palm, but she remained expressionless.

  "I found it strange that there was no reaction at all when Xiaoming clearly held the handle of this basket, where did the anesthetic come from?"

  Taoshui Meng exclaimed, stretching out her hand to grasp Ruan Qincheng's wrist and taking her pulse. Indeed, there wasn't a single trace of poisoning! What a strange thing!

  "There's nothing strange about her not being poisoned! It was just a sedative, and with the spiritual energy protecting her body, it wouldn't be absorbed into her body!"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè's lonely and proud voice fell emotionlessly. He was now somewhat suspicious of her following them, wondering what she wanted to get out of it.

  The power of a Saint Seiya can be said to be extremely terrifying!

  If she were to be unfavorable to Xiaobudian, it would be a bad thing.

  "You big guy, you always say I'm stupid, but I think the stupidest one is you! Don't you know that this anesthetic, as soon as it comes into contact with skin, will be absorbed into the bloodstream and go straight to the heart?"

  Taohai Meng looked at Huoshen Yue with some speechlessness, tiptoed and poked his forehead.

  Ruan Qincheng heard her say so, and was also curious about what had happened. She herself had held the handle several times without anything happening!

  "Nonsense! You're currently holding the powder in your hand, why don't I see any reaction from you?"

  Huǒ Shén Yuè pāi kāi Táo Suī Méi de shǒu zhǐ, zhǐ zhe tā lìng yī biān shǒu zhǎng shuō dào.

  Translation: Huo Shen Yue slapped open Tao Sui Mei's hand and pointed to the other side of her palm saying.

  "Nonsense! I am a poisonous body, ten thousand poisons cannot invade me, what poison can approach my body!"

  Taohai Meng took out a porcelain bottle and poured the medicinal powder in her hand into it. It just so happened that she could use it to feed Xuanming, who loved all kinds of poisonous substances.

  "Could it be that Xiao Chen is a poisonous body? Or should I say, another kind of medicinal spirit body that is immune to all poisons?"

  "What is a toxic constitution and a medicinal spiritual constitution?"

  Ruan Qinchun blinked her butterfly-like eyelashes, looking somewhat puzzled. She realized that she really didn't understand much about this world and definitely needed to find time to thoroughly study the "Medical Source of All Things".

  "The Toxic Body is one that has been steeped in and fed all sorts of poisons since childhood, making it the Supreme Poison itself; thus no poison dares to approach it."

  Taohai Meng said lightly, as if everything had been so pleasant. Only the listener felt a chill run down their spine.

  "The physique of a medicine spirit and a poisonous body are different. From a young age, they have been eating all kinds of rare and precious medicines such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, strange flowers and exotic grasses, etc., growing up with these, their bodies gradually acquire the ability to be immune to most poisons."

  She paused for a moment, gazing intensely at Ruan Qinchun, and then continued.

  "Of course, the formation of a medicine spirit body is extremely difficult to form, unless one has taken in strange poisons and then the body itself dissolves them. Only then can the medicine spirit body truly be immune to all poisons! The blood inside the body of such a person is a kind of elixir that can bring people back from the dead."

  "So that's how it is! Xiao Xiao, I didn't think you knew so much!"

  Ruan Qincheng nodded slightly, and only then did she understand why she hadn't fallen under the spell of the aphrodisiac. It seemed that this body was actually a rare, poison-resistant Medicine Spirit physique!

  "Xiao Chen, there's one more thing I haven't told you! If people with poisonous and medicinal spiritual roots cultivate together, it'll be twice the result with half the effort——ah——"

  Tao Suimei's words were cut off as she was directly thrown out of the door by Lan Mingxuan.

  A handsome and talented immortal, with a few strands of black hair floating up. How did his servant boy become a killer of both men and women?

  He now has to guard against not only those jackals and wolves, but also the covetous eyes of women on his daughter!

  Not afraid of ten thousand just fear one in ten thousand, what if there is an abnormality?

  He didn't even have time to cry!

  "We have no grudges against anyone in this village, I don't know why they want to poison us! I'd like to see what excuse they can come up with!"

  Ruan Qindeng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she lifted her foot, walking out of the room.
