Chapter 37

When Xiao Yun's poison flared up, the situation for the woman in white was even worse. Her face was flushed, her eyes filled with allure, and her long eyelashes fluttered, making her eyes glisten. She moistened her lips, which were as red and lustrous as cherry blossoms, and every move she made was seductive.

"What kind of poison is this?" Swallowing Heaven Sparrow was taken aback, sensing the changes in Xiao Yun and the woman in white.

Xiao Yun also seemed to notice the woman's transformation, as her arm reached out and wrapped around his neck.

"I want!" A voice that made his bones turn to jelly came from the woman, causing Xiao Yun's heart to race.

"What's going on?" He was puzzled. This woman, usually as pure as a goddess and seldom smiling, had become so alluring and seductive, acting completely out of character. He felt both shocked and aroused by her softness.

In the cave, after the poison flared up, the two began to entangle, engaging in a fierce battle.

The girl's body was graceful and supple like a water snake, her white skin glowing with a rosy flush.

After an unknown amount of time, the battle ceased, and the two, entangled, fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, sunlight streamed into the cave, and the young man's eyelids twitched. His tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

"Is it morning?" Xiao Yun opened his eyes, feeling a dull ache in his head.

"What happened yesterday?" He shook his head, trying to recall.

At that moment, his eyes suddenly twitched, sensing something unusual.

"So soft." Xiao Yun's eyes widened in surprise, feeling a soft weight on his body.

After a moment of shock, he looked around and was stunned by what he saw.

A soft, delicate body was leaning on him, its skin smooth and lustrous like jade, radiating a divine glow. The girl's alluring figure was deeply etched in his mind, a sight he had never seen before.

"Ah!"

A soft exclamation rang out, and the woman in white suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion. Clearly, she had no memory of what had happened yesterday. But when she felt a cool breeze brush against her skin, she was filled with a strange fear. Her eyes fluttered, and she realized she was leaning on a young man.

"You... me!" The woman blushed, her eyes flashing with anger, clearly embarrassed and furious. She slapped the ground with her hand, her body springing up, and quickly grabbed her clothes from the floor to cover herself.

Seeing the woman's expression, Xiao Yun felt awkward and quickly recalled what had happened yesterday.

"You beast, taking advantage of me when I was vulnerable." The woman, now dressed, looked at him with a cold, beautiful face, her eyes filled with a hint of killing intent.

"You misunderstood. What happened yesterday was not what you think." Xiao Yun, feeling embarrassed, quickly put on his clothes and explained, "You were poisoned, and I only wanted to help you detoxify. I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

"Detoxify? So detoxifying means you can do this to me?" The woman's anger had not subsided. Now, as she recalled the intimate scenes from when the poison flared up, she could not accept that her purity had been lost so easily.

Xiao Yun felt quite helpless. He had not anticipated that things would turn out this way. His original intention was to help the woman detoxify, but his martial soul not only failed to neutralize the poison but also made him fall into the same trap, losing his reason and control.

"I promise, I will take responsibility for you." Xiao Yun suddenly looked at the girl seriously.

"Ha, take responsibility for me?" The woman laughed coldly, her laughter filled with a chilling tone. When her laughter subsided, she stared coldly at the young man, her eyes revealing a hint of killing intent. "How will you take responsibility? Hmph, you're just like those other men, wanting to possess and bully me. Men are all the same, none of you are good."

The girl's voice was cold and filled with killing intent, making Xiao Yun shudder.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yun felt a pang of pain.

The woman he had always wanted to protect had been hurt by him. Fate had arranged it this way, leaving him feeling helpless. Despite this, he had nothing to say, for it was the truth, and no amount of words could change it.

His good intentions had led to a bad outcome.

"What, you have nothing to say?" The woman sneered.

Now, she felt her heart was shattered, and all her grace and dignity had vanished.

She had once seen this young man as her support, but what was the result?

This shattered her last bit of faith in the world.

She had thought the world was beautiful and full of good people.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and looked at the woman, saying, "If it will make you feel better, I don't mind if you kill me."

"Fine, I'll kill you now." The woman's eyes narrowed, and she picked up the sword from the ground. The sword glinted as she thrust it towards the young man's chest, wanting to see if he truly had the courage or was just trying to manipulate her.

The sword approached, carrying a cold aura. Xiao Yun looked at the woman's cold eyes and then closed his own, standing still, his heart seemingly sealed.

The woman, who should have been revered like a goddess, had been hurt so many times, causing Xiao Yun great pain. "Maybe if I die, she can vent her anger and gradually forget this." He murmured, completely clearing his mind.

At that moment, he forgot everything, hoping only that the girl could move on from her pain, even if it cost him his life.

The sword approached and quickly reached Xiao Yun's chest.

Looking at the young man with his eyes closed, waiting for her to act, the woman's heart suddenly stirred.

"Is he sincere?" The woman wondered.

"No, he must be trying to win my heart." Another thought immediately came to her mind.

After this ordeal, the woman had become more suspicious of everyone.

It seemed she could no longer find anyone in this world she could trust.

As the woman struggled with her thoughts, the tip of her sword touched the young man's chest.

The sword pierced through his clothes, touching his skin, and a cold sensation spread through his body. Xiao Yun felt a slight pain, but compared to the pain of seeing the girl's cold eyes and her despair, it seemed insignificant. In his heart, as long as the girl could smile again, it would be worth everything.

"No!" As the sword pierced his body and blood flowed, the woman's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she let out a cry of shock. Her mind went blank, and she loosened her grip, stopping the sword's advance.

Clang!

The sword fell to the ground with a clatter, the tip still stained with fresh blood.

The sword fell, and the woman stared at the young man, her mind filled with memories.

She vaguely remembered the first time she met the young man.

He had saved her from danger, his eyes so pure and clean.

He had saved her from despair.

He had gone mad for her, turning the world red with the blood of her enemies.

All these emotions were so real, with no trace of falsehood. How could she kill him?

The woman's long eyelashes trembled as she looked at the young man with his eyes closed. Seeing the blood on his chest, her heart ached. At the same time, she remembered the scene from yesterday when the poison flared up.

She vaguely remembered the young man's desperate efforts to detoxify her.

In this world, who else would have gone to such lengths for her?

At that moment, the woman's heart began to waver.
