Safe for now. Let's eat, then decide when the fog clears."
Xiao Jian gently set her down.
"Are you ever going to give me the antidote?!"
Realizing it, Little Doctor Fairy reached out, feeling wronged.
"Oh, the antidote?"
Xiao Jian feigned forgetting, then tossed her a candy.
Little Doctor Fairy blinked.
"Eat it. Sweet enough to be an antidote."
Xiao Jian popped one into his mouth too.
She stared, first thinking he was teasing, then realizing he really had no poison in her system.
"You didn't poison me at all?"
Biting her lip, she asked angrily.
"Of course not. I know some herbs are toxic, but I'm not wasting them on you. If someone really provoked me, I'd handle it with force—poison isn't my style."
Xiao Jian smiled and shrugged.
Little Doctor Fairy's chest heaved as she pointed a trembling finger at him, partly mad, partly embarrassed at being so easily tricked.
She crouched, hugging her legs, burying her face and quietly sobbing.
Seeing this, Xiao Jian twitched. He had pushed it too far.
After hesitating a moment, he squatted beside her, lightly poking her arm.
"Don't touch me!"
She swung her arm, nearly toppling him.
"I can't stand seeing girls cry. Here."
He handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"You make it so hard for me!"
Clutching the cloth, she sniffled.
"I wouldn't make it hard for you? With someone else, I'd just kick them off the cliff.
I can't exactly say, 'First time I see you, you're my dream girl, let's share this adventure,' right?"
Xiao Jian said helplessly.
"I… it's not your fault, I'm too weak. I'll cry it out myself."
Little Doctor Fairy turned away, hiding her face as she shuffled aside, shoulders shaking, sniffing.
Watching her curl up, Xiao Jian felt a twinge of affection. He did have a little romantic interest in her.
But that also explained why she survived under his care.
If someone else had spied in the forest, they'd be sent flying off the cliff in a single kick.
Realistically, Little Doctor Fairy had no power or connections—what could attract others but her own person?
And Xiao Jian knew she had potential as a Poison-Body cultivator. Combined with his taste, she was perfect in his eyes.
"Can't do that. No one else's here, so I'm taking charge."
He grinned and scooped her up in his arms again.
"You! Who asked you to carry me? Put me down!"
Little Doctor Fairy blushed, wriggling. Her small chest pressed against him occasionally.
"Don't move, or you'll trigger my flame. I'll deal with you then! I'm taking you to the basin we saw yesterday. This valley isn't safe, lacks herbs, and the spiritual energy is weak."
Xiao Jian activated Dou Qi and the Purple Cloud Wings, soaring into the sky.
Blushing at his blunt words, Little Doctor Fairy held onto him tightly, unwilling to let go.
"I'll poison you later!" she silently vowed.
"I found a Poison Scripture in a box back in the chamber. It won't help Dou Qi training, but it gives you extra self-defense. Don't want it, fine."
"Really that kind?" she asked skeptically.
"Or should I just deal with you? You'd feel better if I gave you this, right?"
Xiao Jian glanced at her doubtful expression, shook his head, and then eyed her body.
"You shameless thief, all you think about is this!"
Little Doctor Fairy's face flushed. She tapped his chest with her free hand.
"So, do you want it or not?"
"Yes! But it's what I earned exploring with you!"
"Hehe."
"Hmph!"
Never thought the depths of this basin would look like this."
After flying out of the misty valley, Xiao Jian carried himself into the herb-filled basin he had visited with the gathering team before.
Before landing, Xiao Yi Xian pointed and guided him directly from the air into the deeper part of the basin.
"Hey, enough sightseeing. Where's my poison manual?"
Xiao Yi Xian jumped out of Xiao Jian's arms, pouting.
"Hehe, here you go."
Xiao Jian smiled and handed over the Seven-Colored Poison Manual.
Xiao Yi Xian eagerly took the scroll, opening it immediately.
