Chapter 1066 Friends_1
When she was a child, she heard many people say.
"When a man lets you take advantage of him, it's to take a greater advantage of you."
"Cough cough, I haven't decided what it is yet, but you owe me a favor. When I think of it, you can do it for me. Of course, it's something within your capabilities and won't cause you too much trouble." Xu Ran originally wanted to tease Xiao Yi Xian, but seeing how wary she was of him, he had to abandon the idea.
He didn't want to leave a bad impression in Xiao Yi Xian's heart so soon.
Xiao Yi Xian's experiences were too tragic.
In Dou Po, Xiao Yi Xian's life was much more sorrowful than Ya Fei's.
Since her youth, having awakened the Calamity Poison Body, she had accidentally killed everyone in her village. She bore all this pressure and pain alone. Although it didn't show on the surface, how much pain must a kindhearted person like Xiao Yi Xian suffer every day? Who could know how many nightmares she had at night?
If he made Xiao Yi Xian feel that he was only interested in her because of her body, how distressed would she be?
Such a girl should be pampered every day and never be allowed to get hurt.
"Deal."
Xiao Yi Xian pondered for a while, then gently nodded.
Even if she didn't know what Xu Ran wanted, she felt that Xu Ran wouldn't harm her. Her intuition told her Xu Ran was a good person.
"The Cultivation Technique you need, as well as your constitution, are all recorded in the Seven-colored Poison Scripture, which is in a mysterious cave in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xu Ran with suspicion.
During one of her herb gathering trips, she had accidentally discovered a cave.
These days, she had been planning to enter it on her next trip to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Could it be that the cave Xu Ran was talking about was that very one?
If she had known it was that cave, would she have needed Xu Ran's help? She had been planning to explore that cave herself anyway.
"You…" Xiao Yi Xian got so angry that her pretty face turned red.
She felt that the cave mentioned by Xu Ran was the same mysterious cave she had previously discovered.
"You came here this time for that cave, didn't you? Tomorrow, the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps will escort me to gather herbs in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, let's go together. The Seven-colored Poison Scripture is mine, you can take whatever else you find," Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly.
"You are mistaken."
"Those things are of no value to me; in my eyes, only you have value. Why would I bother for such things?" Xu Ran looked at Xiao Yi Xian tenderly.
"You…"
"Don't you know that I am afflicted by the Calamity Poison Body? And yet you still dare to come close to me?"
Although she had many admirers in the past, those people did not know of her constitution. If they did, they would probably treat her as an ill omen and avoid her at all costs. It might even come to pass that she would become an outcast, shunned by everyone.
And yet, knowing her situation, Xu Ran...
"What's there to fear? I am not afraid. Even if you were to poison me to death, I wouldn't be afraid," Xu Ran said earnestly.
"You…"
"In any case, I can't possibly agree to you. But we can be friends," Xiao Yi Xian bit her lip lightly. She couldn't fall for someone so quickly, and even if she truly fell in love with someone, she wouldn't be with that person.
Calamity Poison Body!
She was a living embodiment of calamity, only bringing pain to others.
In the past, due to her Calamity Poison Body, she had killed so many villagers. In the future, once her poison erupted, it would claim the lives of those close to her. If she ever truly fell in love with someone, she would only distance herself from them.
She couldn't control her own body, even if she really wanted to love him, in the end, she feared she would only…
"Friends? Sure. My name is Xu Ran." Xu Ran smiled, looking at Xiao Yi Xian's delicate beauty and swallowing. He didn't want to bite off more than he could chew. The final outcome was important, but the process was equally critical.
"Xiao Yi Xian. You can also call me Xian Er." Xiao Yi Xian said with a blush, extending her hand to shake with Xu Ran.
At that moment, her heart suddenly felt something different from before.
Did she also have a friend now?
Although she had many admirers over the years, she hadn't had a single close friend.
She knew about her constitution in the past, so she was afraid to make any friends. If she lost control and killed them, what then? She didn't dare to open her heart and live a normal life.
Moreover, she knew if anyone discovered her true condition, they would definitely stay far away from her.
Yet Xu Ran, fully aware of her situation and even the dreadful consequences of her constitution, still chose to approach her. Regardless of Xu Ran's motives, it warmed her heart.
Even if Xu Ran was attracted by her beauty, as long as he cared about her, she would be happy.
"Xian Er, you really look beautiful."
Looking at the natural smile on Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face, Xu Ran said sincerely.
Xiao Yi Xian was indeed beautiful, especially the ethereal quality she exuded added a special charm that other girls lacked.
Xiao Yi Xian's past was tragic; such a girl, with just a little coaxing and some concern showed toward her, would open up her true heart and devote herself wholeheartedly to you.
In the original story, Xiao Yi Xian was the same. Just from her experiences in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, she developed a fondness for Xiao Yan.
But Xiao Yan was really not a decent person.
With such a nice girl as Xiao Yi Xian, was it appropriate for him to lead her on?
Tang San was at least discreet about his dalliances, but Xiao Yan was outright blatant. Would he also flirt a bit, making any girl believe he had intentions toward her, thus wasting her life on him?
If Xiao Yan truly did not like her, he shouldn't constantly tease her, allowing them to let go of those improper thoughts and start anew.
This was the most shameless part of Xiao Yan.
As a transmigrator, Xiao Yan carried modern, open-minded views into his dealings with the girls of the Fighting Spirit Continent. Didn't he realize how much his open attitude hurt the girls of the Fighting Spirit Continent?
Thinking about this made Xu Ran furiously angry.
Xiao Yan, that SOB, had caused so many beautiful girls to leave in sadness, hadn't he?
It wouldn't be your fault if you didn't hit on them, but liking to flirt without taking responsibility? Who else but you should carry that blame?
But Xiao Yan would probably reach Qing Shan Town soon, and by then, Xu Ran was determined to show him what cruelty meant. It is said that the Unity Apes of the Magic Beast Mountain Range are very ferocious…
"Xu Ran, thank you…"
As she watched Xu Ran leave, Xiao Yi Xian stayed alone in the empty room, whispering softly. Did she finally have a friend now? She'd always been wary of getting close to anyone because of her body's condition. Yet Xu Ran, knowing all this, was still willing to approach her. Even if she was pretty, with a person like Xu Ran, what kind of girl couldn't he have?
