Chapter 42

Yun Che's heart had quickly calmed down. However, a few words from the girl at this moment, and from her previous murmurs, caught his attention.

"Princess... God-Slaying Absolute Sorrow Poison... Profound Heaven Supreme Treasure..."

She called herself a princess? Could she be a princess from some imperial family?

What is God-Slaying Absolute Sorrow Poison? I know all the poisons in the world, why have I never heard of this name!

And the Profound Heaven Supreme Treasure... Grandfather once said that his biological parents were hunted because they possessed a "Profound Heaven Supreme Treasure," and that the four words "Profound Heaven Supreme Treasure" were a terrifying taboo! The Profound Heaven Supreme Treasure this girl mentioned is clearly the "Heavenly Poison Pearl." Could it be that the Profound Heaven Supreme Treasure is not just one item!?

However, Yun Che did not ask about these things, nor was it the right time to ask. He hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "Little girl, I don't quite understand what you're saying. But you've finally woken up after sleeping in the Heavenly Poison Pearl for so many days. Can you tell me your name?"

In response to Yun Che's question, the girl's expression and gaze remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard him. But after a short while, she answered Yun Che's question, her tender lips slightly moving, uttering two ethereal and cold words: "Jasmine."

"Jasmine?" Yun Che smiled, his eyes filled with genuine admiration: "Jasmine flowers are cute and small, with a rich fragrance and pure whiteness. It's a name that really suits you."

"Pure whiteness?" The pain on the girl's face gradually eased. Her lips curved slightly, forming a cold arc. At this moment, a cool breeze blew, causing her blood-red long hair to dance seductively. A jade-green leaf fell in the wind, and she reached out to catch it in her palm: "I am Jasmine, the Jasmine dyed red by blood!"

The girl's palm relaxed, and the intact green leaf had already turned into a pile of tiny fragments, scattering and falling with the wind.

"..." A bone-chilling, heart-piercing cold suddenly arose in Yun Che's heart.

The small fragments scattered in the light breeze, some of them flying towards the girl's body as they fell. A strange scene unfolded before Yun Che's eyes... the fragments did not adhere to her body when they touched it, but passed through her and scattered behind her...

"!!!!" What's going on? Could it be that this girl's body is actually... a phantom body?

No! If it were a phantom body, how could she have picked up that short blade? How could she have caught that leaf? Could it be some kind of strange semi-phantom, semi-physical body that can actively touch objects but cannot be touched?

"The princess has answered your question. Now, it's your turn to answer the princess's question." Jasmine's black gem-like eyes stared directly into Yun Che's, her beautiful gaze sharp like the sharpest blade, piercing deep into his soul and heart: "Where did you get the Heavenly Poison Pearl from!"

"My master gave it to me. But my master is already dead, and I don't know where he got the Heavenly Poison Pearl from." Yun Che said directly. Facing the girl's clear, diamond-like gaze, he felt a terrifying sense that he couldn't lie, so he decided to tell the truth... anyway, this truth was as good as not saying anything. He truly didn't know where his master had obtained the Heavenly Poison Pearl on the Cangyun Continent.

The girl's gaze remained fixed on his eyes for three more seconds before it finally wavered. She spoke in a cold tone that didn't belong to a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl: "The Heavenly Poison Pearl, ranked fifth among the Seven Profound Heaven Supreme Treasures, contains boundless space, can generate and resolve all poisons in the world, and can refine all things. It once appeared briefly 1,300 years ago, causing a great dispute in the world, and then disappeared without a trace. I never expected it to fall into the hands of a waste of a person with a completely wasted Profound Vein! And it even merged with your body! It's utterly ridiculous. I wonder if this Heavenly Poison Pearl has lost its spirit, or if its spirit has gone completely mad!"

The Seven Profound Heaven Supreme Treasures... ranked fifth?

At this moment, the girl's crescent-shaped eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and a cold killing intent suddenly gathered, enveloping Yun Che's body: "Since the Heavenly Poison Pearl is willing to attach itself to a waste like you, there's no reason it wouldn't be willing to attach itself to the princess's body!"

Sss!!

A cold gust of wind blew towards him, and before Yun Che could react, his back had already collided heavily with the tree trunk behind him. The girl's snow-white face, filled with killing intent, was now inches away from his, and her left hand was tightly gripping his throat.

"You..." Yun Che's eyes widened, his face quickly turning pale from the painful suffocation.

"I'll give you two choices." The girl's beautiful face was now filled with a chilling aura, her young voice icy cold: "One, hand over the Heavenly Poison Pearl to the princess. The other, the princess will kill you and take the Heavenly Poison Pearl from your body!"

The girl's hand, soft like warm jade, was like an iron clamp, locking his throat and making him unable to move, causing him great pain. However, his face showed no fear or panic, and he said in a weak, hoarse voice, completely calm: "I choose the second one, go ahead and kill me."

The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she sneered: "Do you think the princess dares not?"

As she spoke, her fingers suddenly tightened, and five shocking blood marks immediately appeared on Yun Che's neck, his expression becoming even more painful. But he smiled, his face pale: "If you wanted me dead... you wouldn't have risked being poisoned by the soul-devouring poison to save me just now!"

Jasmine: "..."

Yun Che stared into her eyes, his face contorted with the pain of suffocation: "You are infected with a strange poison that not only poisons the body but also the soul! That night, your body dissipated in front of me, and now you are only a soul entangled by the poison... The reason you have a body now is that you forcibly sucked my blood that night, making the Heavenly Poison Pearl, which has merged with me, show affinity towards you, and using the power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl and my life force to form a semi-physical body! This means that my life is your life! If you die, I won't be affected. But if I die, you will die immediately!"

"If I hand over the Heavenly Poison Pearl to you, I would be truly courting death!"

"..." A deep shock flashed in Jasmine's beautiful eyes, and her small hand slowly loosened its grip on Yun Che's throat.

Yun Che, finally freed from the choking, coughed violently and then vomited uncontrollably, almost bringing up bile, his face a terrifying pale.

"You seem to be more useful than you look." Jasmine glanced at him: "Why can you see through all this?"

"Heh..." Yun Che laughed softly: "Because I'm a divine doctor! If you don't want to die, you can't kill me, and you must protect me with all your might! Forming a soul into a body is a capability that requires at least the King Profound Realm! Your life is much more valuable than mine."

When a twelve or thirteen-year-old said this, the shock in Yun Che's heart was unimaginable. Throughout the entire Cangfeng Empire, reaching the Heaven Profound Realm was enough to act without restraint, and those who reached the King Profound Realm numbered less than ten in the entire Cangfeng Empire! These ten people were all like emperors, unparalleled in the world. To reach this realm, one needed not only extremely high talent and opportunity but also sufficient time. Those in the Cangfeng Empire who reached the King Profound Realm were all over a hundred years old. At this realm, even if the physical body was destroyed, one could form a soul and, given the opportunity, perfectly reincarnate!

And this girl, whose physical body was destroyed and whose soul continued to exist by relying on his life force, clearly had the strength of the King Profound Realm! This was a terrifying concept.

The girl's next words made Yun Che completely stunned for five seconds.

"King Profound Realm?" The girl's gaze remained unchanged, but her face clearly showed deep disdain: "What is that?"

Yun Che: "..."

At this moment, a slightly hurried footsteps suddenly came from ahead, and Jasmine's gaze focused, slowly turning around. The owner of the footsteps soon appeared in her line of sight.

Xiao Jiu!

"Another person who wants to take my life has come. You decide what to do."

When facing Xiao Ba earlier, he had been holding a "secret weapon" in his hand, but it was impossible not to be nervous. But now, seeing Xiao Jiu appear again, he felt no tension at all, leaning half his body against the tree trunk behind him, his gaze towards Xiao Jiu even carrying a hint of pity... and regret... Why did only Xiao Jiu come? It would have been better if more people came to accompany him in death.

Xiao Jiu first saw Yun Che, then the pool of blood and the scattered flesh on the ground. Although Xiao Ba's body had been shattered into thousands of pieces, he still recognized him at a glance after knowing him for decades. Instantly, he was horrified, and when his gaze fell on Jasmine, he was completely stunned.

Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu were both born from non-direct bloodlines of the Xiao Clan, and their status in the vast Xiao Clan was very low. However, because they showed remarkable talent from a young age, they were selected and underwent extremely harsh training, later becoming Xiao Kuangyun's personal guards. They were not only powerful in Profound Energy but also cold and ruthless, knowing only loyalty and having no interest in anything else... including women! Even when holding a beautiful woman, they remained expressionless, like machines that had lost their basic emotions. Of course, they had no pedophilia.

But at the moment he saw Jasmine, his eyes widened, and his body experienced a sensation of numbness he had never felt before. His blood almost boiled.

He didn't know what words to use to describe the beauty of the girl before him... Her eyes were like the most brilliant pearls in the world, radiating an incomparably beautiful luster. Her face and features were so exquisite and flawless that they could not be described as merely carved from jade and powder...

Her body was so small and tender, with a curve that was extremely alluring, filled with a strong sense of youth. Following the white dress down, it flowed into a natural and graceful beauty. Under the hem of the dress, two delicate, straight, and smooth legs, like jade sculptures, were exposed, their skin exceptionally white and smooth, with a milky luster, as clear and transparent as ice. Her feet, like two ice lotuses from the Tian Shan, were so beautiful that they seemed not of this world...

How could there be such a beautiful thing in this world...

Xiao Jiu was completely entranced, his eyes wide open, his gaze vacant, his consciousness wandering far away, as if his soul had been completely taken away. He forgot about the dead Xiao Ba, forgot about Yun Che, whom he wanted to kill. In his eyes and mind, there was only this girl, whose beauty made the world pale, her red hair dancing in the wind, adding a touch of seductive charm to her beauty, making his heart race, his body heat up, and a strong desire to possess her, to press her down and ravage her wildly...

"Looking for death!!" Seeing Xiao Jiu's intensely passionate gaze, Jasmine's face showed anger, and she suddenly raised her tender, white hand, pointing her palm at Xiao Jiu's chest...
