Chapter 12

A slightly more normal person, even if their cultivation of mystic energy was not insignificant, might not dare to rashly move forward in such a situation. However, Xiao Che did not even hesitate, and directly walked towards the abnormal white figure.

As he gradually approached, he suddenly realized that it was actually a person! A person lying there quietly!

"Who are you?" After vaguely seeing that it was a person, Xiao Che stopped there and tentatively called out.

The figure in his line of sight showed no reaction, not a single sign of movement or breath.

Could it be that they fainted? Or perhaps... died?

Who could this be? Why would they fall here? Wait! If they had fallen here during the day, they would have been discovered long ago. From the current situation, it seemed that he was clearly the first to discover them, which meant that this person had only appeared here not long ago... at the earliest, after the night had completely fallen.

Xiao Che no longer hesitated and quickly walked over.

When he reached the figure, and with the help of the moonlight, Xiao Che was momentarily stunned.

It was actually a... girl!

The girl looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, her petite and delicate body curled up like a frightened kitten. Her white dress was in a state of disarray. Her exposed legs, delicate and snow-white, revealed fine scars upon closer inspection. One foot was in a black shoe, while the other shoe was missing, leaving a delicate and tender foot, with each toe as clear and translucent as if carved from jade.

What caught the most attention was her hair, which was an eerie and vivid red! The cold light that had flashed in his eyes was the reflection from her hair.

A girl? Why would a girl be here? And she seemed to have many injuries.

What about the color of her hair? Are there people with red hair in the Heavenly Mystic Continent?

Xiao Che bent down and gently shook the girl's shoulder: "Little sister? Little..."

He had only called out once when his voice suddenly stopped, and the hand that was shaking her shoulder was quickly withdrawn. Through the thin clothing, the hand felt a complete coldness, devoid of any warmth that a living person should have. What shocked him the most was that when he touched the girl's body, he distinctly felt a strong toxic aura!

That's right! It was a powerful poison... a terrifying toxic aura that was stronger than all the poisons he knew, and one he had never encountered before! The toxicity was so terrifying that the moment his hand touched her, all the hairs on his body stood up instantly.

It was only then that Xiao Che suddenly realized that the dark color of the weeds and plants around the girl under the moonlight was not dark green... but a terrifying scorched black! Even the soil had turned pitch black.

Xiao Che's heart was instantly filled with dread. If he did not have the Heavenly Poison Pearl, which made him immune to all poisons, he would have been poisoned to death the moment he touched the girl's body.

How could there be such a terrifying poison in the world? Isn't the Heavenly Poison Pearl the most poisonous thing in the world? Even when I used the Heavenly Poison Pearl in the past, I never released such a terrifying poison! It was far, far from this!

Could there be something even more poisonous than the Heavenly Poison Pearl in this world?

Why would this little girl be poisoned by such a terrifying poison? And why would she be lying here?

Numerous questions flooded Xiao Che's mind. But there was no doubt that this little girl was already dead. Such a powerful poison would be enough to instantly kill even a super-strong expert in the Heavenly Mystic Realm, let alone a little girl.

Xiao Che took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out again to press on the girl's shoulder, gently turning her over. The girl's appearance, illuminated by the moonlight, made him freeze, staring at her in a daze, as if he had lost his soul and could not recover for a long time...

"How could there be... such a beautiful girl..." Xiao Che's soul trembled, and he let out an uncontrollable cry.

This girl was very, very beautiful, her beauty so enchanting and captivating that if he had not seen her with his own eyes, he would not have believed that such a young girl could exude such a breathtaking charm.

Her red hair was like a demon, her face as white as jade, and every feature was exquisitely beautiful, combining to form a perfection that was hard to believe. The girl's beauty was so exquisite that Xiao Che, searching through his entire life's memory, could not find any words to describe it. Even though he was looking at her so closely, he felt a deep sense of unreality... because his subconscious could not accept that such a flawless, breathtakingly beautiful face could exist in the world.

Xia Qingyue was the first beauty of Liuyun City, and even in the entire Cangfeng Empire, there were almost no women who could compare to her. When Xiao Che saw her true face, he was only momentarily stunned. But when he saw this girl's face, he felt as if his soul had been struck. He had never thought that one day he would experience such a strong emotional upheaval because of someone's beauty.

She was still a little girl, only twelve or thirteen years old. If she grew up to Xia Qingyue's age... it was unimaginable! Perhaps at that time, a single smile or frown from her would be enough to spark chaos and war.

But such a girl, with a face that could move the world, was killed by a poison that even an expert in poisons like Xiao Che had never seen, and she died on the territory of the Xiao Clan. At this moment, Xiao Che was not thinking about what kind of poison she had been poisoned with or why she was here... but rather, he felt a deep sense of regret. Regret for the cruel destruction of such beauty.

Who could be so cruel as to even have the heart to harm such a beautiful girl!

Looking at the already scorched black vegetation and soil around her, Xiao Che hesitated for a moment, then extended his left hand, pressing his palm on the girl's cold chest. The Heavenly Poison Pearl glowed, quickly purifying the powerful poison in her body. After all, this was the back mountain of the Xiao Clan, and with the terrifying poison in the girl's body, it was possible that the entire back mountain could turn into a dead zone if it spread. Although the Heavenly Poison Pearl's toxicity had almost completely disappeared, it still had the ability to detoxify.

The light from the Heavenly Poison Pearl in his palm continued, gradually purifying the girl's poison. At this moment, Xiao Che suddenly noticed that the girl's cold chest was showing a slight rise and fall. Then, he saw her eyes... slowly opening...

These were abnormally dark eyes, flickering with a dangerous and eerie black light as they moved weakly. The moment Xiao Che's eyes met hers, he felt as if his entire body was falling into a bottomless abyss... his heart was filled with terror! This girl was clearly poisoned, with no breath, and her body was cold, indicating that she was already completely dead... yet she had opened her eyes!

At this moment, the girl's right hand slowly extended, firmly grabbing Xiao Che's left wrist in his shock. Her lips moved slightly, and a weak voice came out, clearly saying...

"Heavenly... Poison... Pearl..."

Xiao Che's heart trembled again, almost not believing his ears! The Heavenly Poison Pearl was something he brought from the Cangyun Continent, not something from the Heavenly Mystic Continent... yet this girl had called out the name of the Heavenly Poison Pearl! Was he mistaken? Or was it a coincidence?

"Little sister, you... ah!!"

With a cry of pain, the girl opened her pale lips and bit down hard on Xiao Che's left fingers.

The flesh of Xiao Che's middle and index fingers immediately began to bleed profusely, all the blood being sucked into the girl's mouth, not a single drop falling to the ground. Xiao Che was shocked and tried to pull his hand away with all his strength... but the girl's small, delicate hand held his wrist like an iron clamp, and he could not break free no matter how hard he tried. As his eyes widened, he felt as if all the blood in his body was being drawn to his left hand, being sucked into the girl's mouth.

She was... sucking my... blood!?

The girl's dark eyes were closed, greedily sucking on Xiao Che's fingers like a baby being fed.

Who is this girl...?

Clearly a girl poisoned to death, yet she made him completely unable to struggle or break free. After several futile attempts, he finally gave up and could only watch as she drank his blood.

Xiao Che's body was already weak, and with the loss of a large amount of blood, his brain began to feel dizzy. Just as he was thinking whether the girl would suck all his blood, the sensation of sucking from his left fingers suddenly disappeared, and the small hand that had been holding his wrist slowly released its grip.

Xiao Che quickly stepped back several steps, looking at the girl, who was flawlessly beautiful but had just sucked his blood, with a dark expression. But for a long time, the girl did not move, lying there quietly as she had when he first saw her, eyes closed, silent.

A cold night breeze blew, brushing against Xiao Che's back and the girl's body. In the cold wind, the girl's body suddenly dissipated like mist, completely disappearing, leaving behind a white dress with multiple tears, a black princess shoe, and a red butterfly hair clip.

Xiao Che: "!!!!"

Disappeared!?

At this moment, a strange sensation also came from his left palm. His heart stirred, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. He immediately closed his eyes, focused his mind, and entered the space of the Heavenly Poison Pearl.

The emerald space of the Heavenly Poison Pearl was usually empty.

But this time, he saw a snow-white, delicately sculpted body floating quietly in front of him.

Xiao Che's eyes widened, and he immediately reached out to cover his nose tightly.

This was undoubtedly the girl who had suddenly sucked his blood and then disappeared in front of him. But the difference was... she was now completely naked, her delicate body exposed without any covering.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her face serene. Her blood-red hair fell naturally, dancing in the wind. Her skin was smooth and white, with a creamy luster, as tender and plump as a baby's. Her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her waist slender, and her legs delicate and straight, like jade. Despite her young age, her upper body had already developed significantly, with two soft, fresh, and tender breasts, beautiful enough to make one gasp.

This was a body that had not yet fully grown, but it exuded a charm that could make one lose their soul, almost embodying all the extreme perfection in the world.

Xiao Che, with great effort, moved his gaze away and turned around, covering his nose. The moment he saw the girl's body, a surge of blood rushed to his head, and he was sure that if he continued to look, the blood would burst out of his body...

Why is she not wearing clothes...

No! That's not the point!!

She clearly disappeared just now, so how did she end up inside the Heavenly Poison Pearl? The Heavenly Poison Pearl is already fused with my body, and only I can control it. Without my permission, how could she appear here...

Could it be... because she sucked my blood?

What is going on?

Xiao Che's mind was in chaos, and with his experience from two lifetimes, he could not understand what had happened at all.
