Chapter 43

**Bang!!**

Without any surge of energy or any forewarning, just as Moli raised her right hand, Xiao Jiu's face suddenly changed drastically, becoming incomparably terrified, as if he had seen the most terrifying hell in that instant. Then, his body exploded in a terrifyingly loud burst...

His head, limbs, torso, and internal organs... all shattered in an instant, forming a massive blood flower, with blood splattering far and wide, dyeing the ground within several meters a deep red...

Yun Che: "!!!!"

Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, two super-strong protectors of the Xiao Clan, one torn to pieces in an instant, the other exploded in an instant, were both instantly annihilated by Moli, without even a hint of struggle. Perhaps they never even knew how they died until their last breath.

Moreover, their deaths were one more tragic than the other. Yun Che had killed countless people in his two lives, long accustomed to blood and cruelty. When facing those he hated the most, his methods were extremely vicious, but none of them could match the cruelty of either of Moli's two killings... more accurately, he simply did not have the ability to do so.

This girl with red hair, who called herself "Moli," was she really...

"Ugh..."

Moli suddenly let out an extremely painful moan, her small body squatting to the ground, trembling all over.

Xiao Ba was reduced to a pile of shattered remains, and Xiao Jiu to a pool of blood. Yun Che suddenly understood why she called herself "Bloodstained Moli." From her killing methods, one could imagine how many people she had killed and how tragically those who died by her hand had perished. Despite being just a young girl, her actions were like those of a merciless and cruel death god.

Yun Che's heart could not help but be filled with a cold fear. Seeing her in pain, Yun Che hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and said, "You could have killed him with a small amount of force, but you chose to leave him without a whole body... Your soul is now infected with a powerful poison. Once you use your mystic power, these toxins will take advantage of the weakness and devour your soul..."

"Awooo~~~"

A long wolf howl suddenly sounded behind Yun Che, and this howl was clearly very close... so close that it seemed to be right by his ear. Yun Che quickly turned around and saw, not twenty steps to his right, a fully grown gray wolf with a fierce gaze staring directly at him.

Wild wolf!!

Yun Che's heart suddenly jolted... This was the edge of a small town, how could there be a wild wolf here! Although this wild wolf was clearly just an ordinary beast, it was still a wolf, and it should not have appeared in this place.

Wait... The wind was picking up, and the blood from Xiao Ba's brutal death had been carried away by the wind... It was indeed very likely to attract bloodthirsty mystic beasts!

The suddenly appearing wild wolf did not give Yun Che much time to react or think. It let out a low growl and charged forward in a straight line, leaping up just seven steps away, directly pouncing on Yun Che. Its sharp claws, gleaming with a cold light, were enough to tear his body apart.

Yun Che's words were not wrong at all. Moli had sucked his blood to enter the Heavenly Poison Pearl, and her life was now dependent on his. If Yun Che died, she would die too. Even if she didn't die, without the Heavenly Poison Pearl, she would soon succumb to the poison and lose her soul.

Therefore, seeing the wild wolf pounce on Yun Che, a murderous intent flashed in Moli's eyes, and a violent mystic power instantly gathered in her hands... But the moment the mystic power surged, she felt as if she was pierced by ten thousand arrows, her body stiffened, and she let out an extremely painful moan. The mystic power she had just gathered instantly dissipated, and she convulsed in pain, her body suddenly becoming hazy, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry...

The first time she used her power to kill Xiao Ba, she suffered a strong backlash from the God-Slaying Absolute Sorrow Poison. The second time she used her power to kill Xiao Jiu, the backlash intensified several times. This time, using her power again, the toxins in her body, like awakened snakes, took advantage of the weakness and began to devour her soul, making it impossible for her to even stand, let alone attack the wild wolf. Her semi-illusory body was at risk of dissipating due to the toxins.

"Don't use your mystic power!!"

Seeing Moli's body become hazy, Yun Che frowned and roared. The wild wolf had already pounced, its sharp fangs growing closer in his vision...

Rip!!

His right shoulder's clothes were torn, almost injuring his skin. Yun Che, who had narrowly avoided the attack, did not wait to get up. He swung his right hand, which had been tightly gripping a powder, towards the gray wolf. The powder he had prepared to use against Xiao Ba was accurately sprinkled on the wolf's head as it landed.

The wild wolf immediately let out a piercing howl, its body falling directly to the ground, its two paws desperately scratching at its eyes. Yun Che quickly stood up, picked up the short blade Moli had previously thrown to the ground, gritted his teeth, and pounced back at the wild wolf, thrusting the dagger with all his might into the wolf's throat.

Although the wild wolf was an ordinary beast, its skin and bones were very tough. A normal person's full-strength thrust, if aimed at the throat, would only cause a superficial injury and not kill it, but would instead fully arouse its ferocity. Yun Che's short blade fell very quickly, and the point of impact was firmly locked in his cold, focused gaze... The short blade accurately pierced through the gaps in the wild wolf's throat bones, severing its windpipe.

The wild wolf's howl suddenly became weak and pitiful. Its body convulsed wildly, then collapsed to the ground, silent.

"Phew..." Yun Che let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Although his current strength was weak and his body frail, at least his combat awareness and vision were still intact. However, the fact that he, who once looked down on the world, now faced such danger from an ordinary wild wolf made him smile bitterly.

Moli's body was still flickering. She curled up on the ground like an injured kitten, her face contorted in extreme pain. After catching his breath, Yun Che stood up and came to her side, placing his left hand on her shoulder. The purification ability of the Heavenly Poison Pearl was quickly released, suppressing the toxins that were rampaging in her body and soul.

God-Slaying Absolute Sorrow Poison... What kind of poison was this! It almost cost the life of this girl with terrifying strength.

Moli's painful expression finally eased slightly, but her body continued to alternate between clarity and blurriness, and the frequency of the alternation was increasing, clearly a sign of imminent dissipation... At this moment, Moli suddenly lifted her face, reached out her hand, and grabbed Yun Che's right wrist. Her lips parted, and her white teeth bit down hard on his index finger.

The intense pain from his finger made Yun Che's face contort. He felt his finger being pierced by sharp teeth, and the blood droplets seeping out were all sucked into Moli's mouth. Compared to the fear he felt the first time she sucked his blood, Yun Che was much calmer this time, did not struggle, and let her bite his finger. A warm, soft tongue firmly pressed against his fingertip, giving him a sense of indescribable enjoyment amidst the pain...

As the blood droplets were sucked into Moli's mouth one by one, the frequency of her body's changes began to slow down. After half a minute, it finally stopped. Moli removed her teeth from his finger, her face still somewhat pale but no longer in pain.

Yun Che took a step back, looking at the tooth marks on his right index finger, which were still seeping blood, and said through gritted teeth, "Are you... a puppy! You bite me every time we meet!"

Moli extended her small hand and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, her young face still showing lingering fear. She gritted her teeth, frowned, and said coldly, "Isn't it because you're useless! Otherwise, how would this princess be forced into such a situation!"

"I'm useless?" Yun Che laughed bitterly, "Ha, compared to you, I am indeed useless. An ordinary wild wolf could take my life, and if it weren't for your help twice, I would already be dead at the hands of those two people you killed... However, no matter how useless I am, I have saved you twice. If you hadn't met me that night, you would have already been poisoned to death. Just now, if I had left you, this dangerous little sister, and walked away, you might have already lost your soul. While you say I'm useless, have you ever thought of thanking me?"

Moli remained silent.

"You encountered the Heavenly Poison Pearl when you were on the brink of death, which is a sign of great fortune. However, your luck seems to have run out. My mystic veins are crippled, and if not repaired, I will remain at the initial mystic realm for life. You are poisoned and cannot use your power at will. With my own strength, if I encounter even a slightly larger danger, I might die at any moment, and you would die with me." Yun Che held his finger, which had finally stopped bleeding, and said calmly.

Moli still did not speak, but her eyes kept changing, as if she was hesitating and struggling with something.

"However, you can rest assured, I will strive to find a way to repair my mystic veins... No! I must find a way! Before that, I will do my best to protect my life." Yun Che said with a calm and determined face. In his mind, the images of Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi appeared again. For their sake, he would have to walk this extremely difficult path as quickly as possible, no matter what.

"Repair mystic veins?" The girl's face showed a hint of disdain, "I have examined your mystic veins, and they were not damaged by external forces recently. Instead, they were severely injured when they were still forming, and the roots were damaged. Your current mystic veins are almost completely useless! There is indeed a method to forcibly repair them, but after repair, opening three mystic gates would be the limit! Moreover, you have missed the crucial initial mystic foundation period before the age of fourteen. In this state, you will not be able to break through the initial mystic realm within ten years! And for your entire life, you will not be able to break through to the true mystic realm... You will still be a useless cripple!"

Moli's words made Yun Che's expression stiffen, and his hands clenched. Her words hit the cruel reality he had been deliberately avoiding... As she said, his mystic veins were deeply damaged, and even if he used the methods he knew to repair them, he could only repair a small part, leaving his mystic veins still half-useless. Additionally, he had missed the crucial foundation period, and his mystic power cultivation speed would be several times slower than others, and... he would almost certainly never break through to the true mystic realm.

Yun Che's chest heaved heavily, and he gritted his teeth, "I will find a way!"

"Do you want to collect various medicinal herbs and use the Heavenly Poison Pearl to refine various pills to forcibly enhance yourself? It seems like a good idea. But with your laughable abilities, how can you obtain those high-grade herbs! Instead, you will frequently fall into situations where you might never recover, and this princess will be dragged into death with you!"

Moli lifted her face, her eyes clear, as if she had finally made a decision, "Put away your laughable ideas. You saved this princess's life, and this princess should repay you... You only need to agree to three conditions from this princess, and then this princess will immediately give you a... new mystic vein..."

In Yun Che's suddenly surprised gaze, Moli's eyes became deep and mysterious, and her voice lowered, "A mystic vein... with divine power!"
