Chapter 72: If You Want to Survive, Stay By My Side

Little Fairy Doctor woke up in a daze, her gaze drifting from the ceiling to Xiao Cang, who was engrossed in refining a pill in the room.

Suddenly, she remembered what had happened before she passed out, and her face changed drastically.

"Who are you?!" she exclaimed, sitting up abruptly.

The blanket slipped off, revealing her fair body, and Little Fairy Doctor's face changed again.

"My clothes!"

"You! What… what did you do to me?!"

In a panic, Little Fairy Doctor quickly pulled up the blanket to cover her chest, looking at Xiao Cang with fear. However, Xiao Cang didn't immediately respond to her. His attention was entirely focused on the pill furnace.

Seeing Xiao Cang's indifference, Little Fairy Doctor began to quietly observe him. 

From her angle, she could only see Xiao Cang's side profile, which was handsome with clear-cut features. 

As she watched Xiao Cang, she felt an inexplicable pull, causing her to involuntarily study him.

Soon, her gaze fell on the pill furnace in front of Xiao Cang. The purple-gold furnace, surrounded by a layer of Dou Qi, looked as mysterious as a fairy's artifact at first glance.

An alchemist?!

Little Fairy Doctor looked surprised. 

She had always admired alchemists, as it was her dream profession. 

Moreover, judging from the incredibly mysterious pill furnace in front of her, the man before her was likely a high-level alchemist.

As she continued to watch, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly realized that she was still naked. She quickly reached for her clothes to put them on.

Just then, with a "bang", the pill was successfully refined.

With a thought, Xiao Cang made dozens of pitch-black pills fly out of the pill furnace and into his storage ring.

Then, Xiao Cang abruptly stood up and looked at Little Fairy Doctor.

"You're awake."

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor had just lifted the blanket and hadn't put on her skirt yet.

Her jade-like body came into Xiao Cang's view.

Immediately, Little Fairy Doctor's face turned red, and her fair body quickly flushed.

"Ah!"

She screamed and quickly used the blanket to cover her body.

"You… who are you?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Cang apprehensively. Although she was usually a cold and aloof beauty, in this situation, she couldn't maintain her composure, looking very much like a panicked ordinary girl.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Cang, an alchemist," Xiao Cang said.

"Xiao Cang…?"

Little Fairy Doctor frowned, finding the name somewhat familiar.

The next moment, she remembered, and her eyes showed shock.

"You're that… the genius alchemist who made a name for himself in the Gama Empire a while ago… an eighteen-year-old?"

"You've heard of me?"

Xiao Cang looked at Little Fairy Doctor with interest, especially at her eyes.

He couldn't see her eyes when she was unconscious earlier, but now that he saw them, he was somewhat surprised.

They were a pair of gray-purple eyes, as lifeless as dead wood, showing no emotional fluctuations, just like a pool of stagnant water.

Such eyes would probably scare anyone who saw them.

But when Xiao Cang saw them, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. This was one of the negative effects of the Calamity Poison Body.

The poison of the Calamity Poison Body had greatly affected her eyes and hair.

And her cold personality was not innate, but a result of the harm caused by the Calamity Poison Body. 

In order not to harm others, she had become what she was today.

"The mercenaries in Green Mountain Town have been talking about you recently… why did you bring me here?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Cang warily.

"Because I'm very interested in you," Xiao Cang said.

Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback at his words. What kind of reason was that?

"You have a very special physique, you should know that, right?" Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's confusion, Xiao Cang slowly began to explain.

Little Fairy Doctor slowly nodded.

"So, do you know that your physique is the extremely rare Calamity Poison Body?" Xiao Cang asked again.

"Calamity Poison Body?" Little Fairy Doctor looked unfamiliar with the name.

"The Calamity Poison Body is a physique that is extremely sensitive to poison, has a natural dependence on poison, and also has extremely serious hidden dangers. I think you should have a personal understanding of this," Xiao Cang said.

Little Fairy Doctor's expression stiffened, and naturally, she did.

She had experienced several small-scale outbreaks of the Calamity Poison Body…

The pain from those times made her wish she were dead.

"You actually know about my special physique… then do you know how to break it?" Little Fairy Doctor asked eagerly.

Xiao Cang nodded.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes, as lifeless as dead wood, suddenly burst with intense anticipation.

"Then can you…"

"No."

Xiao Cang shook his head, interrupting Little Fairy Doctor, and said indifferently, "I know the method to break your physique, but I can't implement it for now."

Little Fairy Doctor's face immediately showed disappointment, and when she looked down, she saw her naked body.

"So why did you bring me here? What did you do to me?"

"I told you, I'm very interested in you. Although I can't completely solve the Calamity Poison Body for you at the moment, as long as you obediently stay by my side, I will be able to solve it for you in at most three years."

Xiao Cang said solemnly, and then added, "As for whether I did anything to you… aren't you a doctor yourself, can't you feel it?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked embarrassed, and after careful feeling, she indeed found that she hadn't been violated…

As for Xiao Cang's words about staying by his side, she instinctively wanted to refuse.

One reason was that she had been used to being alone all these years and was not used to being around other people.

The second reason was that she didn't know Xiao Cang at all and didn't dare to trust him easily.

Seeing this, Xiao Cang took out a highly poisonous first-grade medicinal herb from his storage ring.

The moment the poisonous herb was taken out, Little Fairy Doctor's face changed.

As a Calamity Poison Body, she was extremely sensitive to the smell of poison.

The moment she sensed the poison, she couldn't help but salivate, her eyes fixed on the poisonous herb.

"Do you want it? Here you go." Xiao Cang threw the poisonous herb to Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor stretched out her jade arm, grabbed the poisonous herb, and then swallowed the poisonous herb with rapid breathing and fiery eyes.

Immediately, the poison of the poisonous herb spread in her body, and she also showed a look of pleasure and satisfaction.

However, at this moment, her Calamity Poison Body became disordered again.

The fierce poison of the poisonous herb broke the balance of the mild poison left in her body by the Ghostly Poison Flame.

Little Fairy Doctor immediately showed a look of pain, and in her pain, her hands loosened the blanket.

The blanket slipped off, revealing her skin.

But the skin that was originally white and tender was now dull and changing, losing its beauty.

Xiao Cang had anticipated this, and quickly walked to Little Fairy Doctor, grabbed her white chin, and stuffed a freshly refined black pill into her mouth.

The pill entered her stomach, quickly neutralizing the poison, and Little Fairy Doctor's pain subsided.

"Huff, huff…"

Little Fairy Doctor breathed heavily, looking at Xiao Cang with complicated eyes.

Xiao Cang looked down at Little Fairy Doctor and said lightly, "Do you see? Your Calamity Poison Body is extremely unstable, and you can't resist the temptation of poisonous herbs. If this continues, you will surely die from a poison outbreak."

"If you want to survive, you have to stay by my side, understand?"
