Chapter 369: Woeful Poison Body

"No problem," Mu Chen replied with a smile.

"And you, what's your name?" Yun Zhi asked.

"Mu Chen," he answered.

"Mu City? Are you from the Mu family?" Yun Zhi inquired.

The Mu family was one of the three great families of the Gamma Empire. Given that Mu Chen appeared in this forest without any elders accompanying him, he must possess considerable strength. Yun Zhi instinctively assumed he was from the Mu family.

"Not the 'wood' Mu, but the 'bath' Mu, and 'chen' as in time," Mu Chen corrected.

"Mu Chen," Yun Zhi murmured.

"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.

Yun Zhi was dressed in a green long dress, which, under the breeze, accentuated her delicate and curvaceous figure. The glimpse of her snow-white calves, resembling white jade, was faintly visible and quite enchanting.

Yun Zhi watched as Mu Chen sprinkled various seasonings onto the roasted meat and smiled, "You're quite bold, daring to venture into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range at such a young age."

"What's the big deal? It's just a mountain range of Magical Beasts," Mu Chen said nonchalantly.

"You should be careful. There are several powerful Magical Beasts around here. One of them, the Purple Winged Lion King, is a sixth-tier Magical Beast with the combat power of a Battle Emperor," Yun Zhi kindly reminded him.

"The Purple Winged Lion King? In front of me, it's just a cat," Mu Chen said.

"Can't you stop boasting?" Yun Zhi rolled her eyes at him. She had personally experienced the might of the Purple Winged Lion King.

"Forgive my bluntness, but whether it's the Purple Winged Lion King, the Void Ancient Dragon, or the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, if they meet me, Mu Chen, they'll have to bow down. If it's a dragon, it'll coil; if it's a phoenix, it'll crouch," Mu Chen said indifferently.

"Here you go again. Can't you stop exaggerating?" Yun Zhi rolled her eyes once more.

Mu Chen chuckled and didn't continue to argue with Yun Zhi. At that moment, he suddenly realized how lonely it was to be invincible!

Screech

A hawk's cry rang out as the Blue Hawk descended from the sky.

"Magical Beast!"

Yun Zhi frowned slightly, wanting to channel her Dou Qi, but her cultivation was sealed, and she couldn't muster any Dou Qi to attack the Blue Hawk. Despite this, she still drew her peculiar long sword and shielded Mu Chen behind her.

Mu Chen, watching her actions, felt a warm current flow through his heart. He stepped forward with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it means no harm."

Screech

Screech

Screech

The Blue Hawk continued to call towards the house where the Little Fairy Doctor resided. Its cries were urgent, as if worried about something.

"There's something wrong in the house!" Yun Zhi looked at Mu Chen and asked, "Who lives there?"

"The Little Fairy Doctor," Mu Chen replied.

"The Little Fairy Doctor?" Yun Zhi stepped forward and gently knocked on the wooden door. There was no response from inside. She knocked a few more times, but still, there was no answer.

Yun Zhi frowned, bit her lip, and forcefully kicked the door, sending it flying open.

The door was brutally kicked open, and before Yun Zhi could rush in, she saw smoke filling the entire room.

Yun Zhi frowned and mustered the little Dou Qi she could, sweeping the smoke out of the house. On the wooden bed, the Little Fairy Doctor lay with her eyes tightly shut. Her originally rosy cheeks now bore a strange, multicolored hue.

Yun Zhi frowned, recognizing the signs of poisoning. She instinctively stepped forward to save the Little Fairy Doctor.

"Don't go near her!"

Mu Chen reached out and grabbed Yun Zhi's delicate wrist. He couldn't help but marvel at how soft and smooth her skin was, sending a ripple through his heart.

"What's wrong?" Yun Zhi looked at Mu Chen in confusion.

"If you don't want to die, don't touch her," Mu Chen said, looking at the Little Fairy Doctor's multicolored face.

"What's wrong with her?" Yun Zhi asked, still puzzled.

"Look at her hand," Mu Chen pointed to the Little Fairy Doctor's slightly open fingers.

Following his words, Yun Zhi's gaze fell on the Little Fairy Doctor's jade-like hand, where a small pouch of black powder rested. She cautiously approached and sniffed lightly, immediately feeling dizzy. She quickly stepped back, covering her chest in shock, "Such a potent poison. Is she a Poison Master?"

Yun Zhi, being a prominent figure in the Gamma Empire, was aware of the existence of Poison Masters. The Little Fairy Doctor's condition was eerily similar to the Poison Masters from the Chu Yun Empire.

"Do you have a problem with her identity?" Mu Chen probed.

"Not particularly," Yun Zhi glanced at Mu Chen and then at the Little Fairy Doctor on the bed, "Poison Masters have survived in the Chu Yun Empire for centuries, so there must be a reason for their existence. To all living beings, we are all part of the same world. We shouldn't simply dismiss the existence of other professions."

Mu Chen looked at Yun Zhi in surprise, not expecting the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect to say something so profound.

Listening to Yun Zhi's words, Mu Chen felt something stir in his mind.

"She's not going to die, is she? That poison is enough to kill a Battle Practitioner at the Battle Spirit level," Yun Zhi asked.

"If she were an ordinary person, given her current state, she would indeed be killed by that poison. But she's no ordinary person," Mu Chen said.

"Then what kind of person is she?" Yun Zhi asked.

"Have you heard of the Woeful Poison Body?" Mu Chen inquired.

"The Woeful Poison Body?" Yun Zhi's gaze grew more confused.

"In the Dou Qi Continent, there exists a physique known as the Natural Poison Body or the Woeful Poison Body. The appearance of such a body often brings calamity, hence the name. Once, a woman with the Woeful Poison Body turned an entire empire into a thousand-mile toxic wasteland in a fit of rage. Over that toxic land, hundreds of thousands, if not more, souls lingered," Mu Chen explained in detail.

"Good heavens!"

Yun Zhi looked at Mu Chen in astonishment.

Mu Chen continued, "As a Battle Practitioner, you should know that the strong have their own rules. What that woman did violated the rules of many powerful figures. After the incident, numerous strong individuals confronted her, only to fall one by one. Even a peak nine-star Battle Emperor ended up dead at her hands. The situation escalated to the point where some Dou Zong-level experts couldn't sit still. Ignoring their status, they joined forces with several other Dou Zong-level experts and fought the woman, who was only a five-star Battle Emperor, for three days and three nights. Despite this, those Dou Zong experts still didn't gain the upper hand and were plagued by her poison for a full decade."

"That terrifying?" Yun Zhi looked at the Little Fairy Doctor in shock. She herself was a Battle Emperor.

"Yes. Twenty years after that woman disappeared, she resurfaced. By then, her strength had reached the Dou Zong level. As for those Dou Zong experts who had once confronted her, they all turned into cowards, not daring to face her again," Mu Chen continued.
