Chapter 35: Heaven Earth Venomous Body Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Many of Duke Jingguo and General Feilong’s subordinates don’t like Li Yi either,” Chen Zhen chimed in. “As long as Young Master Yun stands up and raises the flag, they will definitely support him.” Then, he suddenly asked, “Teacher Luo, if Young Master Yun and Li Yi had a fight, which side would you take?” Han Bai pricked up his ears, eager to know the answer as well. Luo Yunshang’s status was above them all, so if she was willing to help Li Yunxiao, the odds would be even better. Yunshang said lightly, “I am a commander of the State Guardians, and that makes me on His Majesty’s side.” Both Chen Zhen and Han Bai looked disappointed upon hearing that. But then, she smiled and added, “However, Li Yunxiao is my student.” … Yunxiao was walking on the street when he suddenly sneezed several times. Feeling strange, he said to himself, “I’m so healthy and I haven’t caught a cold. Why did I suddenly sneeze?” “Yun…Young Master Yun!” A voice suddenly rang out and then Meng Wu ran up to him from behind. At the sight of him, her face flushed and her eyes grew nervous. Yunxiao smiled through narrowed eyes and said, “Oh, I was just wondering why I sneezed for no reason. It turns out that I’m going to be lucky in love.” Meng Wu bit her lip as she summoned up her courage and asked, “Can…can you help me take a look at my brother?” Knowing that she was raising money to buy medicine for her brother, Yunxiao took out a bag of gold coins from his ring and threw it at her. “A thousand gold coins!” Meng Wu gasped as she looked at the storage bag in her hand. Hastily, she handed it back to Yunxiao and said, “It’s too much, I can’t take it!” Yunxiao took her left hand and put the bag in her palm, then smiled and said, “This is the reward you deserve for helping me save the Princess.” Meng Wu shook her head and said, “But I didn’t do anything…I just helped the Princess change her clothes.” “Although you had only helped her change clothes, it was actually a matter of life and death,” Yunxiao laughed. “If you didn’t come and I was forced to change her clothes, do you think I could carry out the treatment when there was a naked beauty in front of me? The Princess’s situation would be even more dangerous then. Therefore, in the whole treatment process, what you did was the most critical part.” Meng Wu was somewhat struck dumb. She never thought this could be a logic. She knew Yunxiao was trying to help her. As a result, she felt a warmth flowing through her that made her want to cry. While holding the storage bag tightly in her right hand, she bowed her head and sobbed, “Thank you! I’ve helped Lan Fei frame you, but you still helped me like this…I’m sorry!” “It’s fine, and I didn’t suffer any losses last time. If I have the chance, I want to try a few more times.” Meng Wu knew at once what he meant when she heard him. She blushed like a ripe apple, almost smoking up. Yunxiao laughed. “What’s wrong with your brother? Do you want me to go and see with you?” Meng Wu was overjoyed. Although she did not know of Yunxiao’s true strength, it must be extraordinary as he was able to cure an illness that even the chief alchemist of the imperial palace could not. Thinking that, she hurriedly led Yunxiao in the direction of her home. She lived in a house near the capital, four hours away from the academy. Even though both of them were not weak, it took them half the day to arrive there. “No wonder you have opened seven chakras at such a young age and are only one step away from becoming a warrior of the Origin realm. It turns out that the effort it takes you to travel between the academy and your home is worth a secluded cultivation,” Yunxiao teased. Meng Wu’s cheeks reddened. “The house in the capital is too expensive for us to afford.” Through chatting with her along the way, Yunxiao learned that her father was once a brave captain who served the state. He had lived in the city with her brother and her, but had died on a mission three years ago. Since then, their source of livelihood was cut off, and had to live on a meager monthly pension. As a result, they were forced to move out of the city and live in the suburbs. Fortunately, both she and her brother were sensible and talented. She was admitted to Jialan Academy last year at the age of fifteen while her younger brother, Meng Bai, had opened five chakras at the age of fourteen, showing that he had an even better talent than her. Everything was seeming fine. However, starting from this year, Meng Bai suddenly became absent-minded all day long and was in a coma for a long time, while his body was shifting between cold and warm for some unknown reason. In order to raise money to cure her brother, Meng Wu took up many part-time jobs, which was also why she had agreed to help Lan Fei frame Yunxiao. Her home was an ordinary house. Although the furniture was simple, the interior was clean and tidy. As soon as Meng Wu entered the house, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks when she saw her brother lying in bed. She sobbed and said, “He’s been like this for four or five months. I’ve had many apprentice alchemists come to see him, but there is nothing they can do. I can only use resuscitation magic water to keep him alive. However, the effect of the potion is getting weaker and weaker…I’m really scared, I’m scared every single day!” Her mental state seemed to have broken down at this moment, and she threw herself on Yunxiao’s shoulder while bursting into tears. The pressure that a fifteen-year-old girl had suffered for a long time poured out like a bursting dam. While smelling the faint fragrance of a young girl, Yunxiao patted Meng Wu’s hair gently and comforted her, “It’s all right. I’m here now…As long as Meng Bai is not dead, he won’t die even if he wants to.” After crying for a while, Meng Wu realized that she had forgotten herself, so she covered her nose with a hand and sobbed softly. Yunxiao’s shoulder was soaked with her tears. “This is…” Yunxiao glanced at the young man lying in bed in surprise. His face was colorful and he was weak in vitality. He gently pinched at several acupoints on the latter’s body with a finger; all the spots where his fingertips touched turned dark in color, with wisps of faint black gas drifting out as if he had been poisoned. “What’s going on, Young Master Yun?” Seeing this, Meng Wu became very anxious. She had never seen anything like this. Yunxiao was stunned for a moment before he uttered a few words, “Heaven Earth Venomous Body!” “Heaven Earth Venomous Body?” Meng Wu’s head was reeling. Although she did not know what the illness was, it was scary enough just to listen to the name. She asked while weeping, “Can he be cured?” “Cured?” Yunxiao shook his head. Meng Wu burst into tears again. “Didn’t you say that as long as he is not dead, he won’t die even if he wants to, now that you are here? Please, you must save my brother! As long as you can save him, I will do anything for you!” Traces of cold sweat oozed out of Yunxiao’s forehead. “Do not tempt me into committing crimes. I will think otherwise when you say like that.” He glared at her and said, “Don’t cry! Thee Heaven Earth Venomous Body is not an illness, so how can I cure him? It’s like you are a girl, and I want to cure you into a man. Would you agree to it?” Meng Wu sobbed, “If this is not an illness, then why is he like this?” “There are many people in this world who are different from the moment they were born,” Yunxiao explained carefully. “For example, men and women are different, and everyone’s talent is also different. There are some extremely rare existences called ‘special constitutions’. People with these ‘special constitutions’ will have obvious differences from ordinary people. This ‘Heaven Earth Venomous Body’ is one of such special constitutions.” “What should we do? Since you can find out what’s wrong with him, there must be some way to cure him, right?” Meng Wu asked nervously. Yunxiao slapped himself on the forehead. “I’ve wasted my breath… I’ve told you this is not an illness, so it doesn’t need to be treated. Although I have not seen the Heaven Earth Venomous Body in real life, I have read it in some records. The reason your brother becomes like this is because he is too weak, and the toxicity in his body is too strong for him to control. He just needs to restrain the toxicity and then constantly improve his strength through cultivation, and everything will be solved.” Startled, Meng Wu asked, “What about the poison in his body?” Yunxiao shook his head and said, “There is no need to get rid of it. He has the Heaven Earth Venomous Body, and it would be strange if there was no poison inside him. As long as his cultivation speed can keep pace with the growth rate of toxicity, everything will be fine. The toxicity in his body is still very weak now, but it will become stronger in the future, making him a venomous king of the generation. Let me wake him up first.” He took out more than a dozen gold needles and carefully stuck them on Meng Bai’s skin. As soon as they were inserted into his acupoints, they began to turn black and were seriously corroded. “So strong?” Yunxiao frowned. He slapped Meng Bai on the top of the head, and all the corroded gold needles immediately jumped out of the acupoints, pulling out wisps of black gas that began to sizzle and burn when they were touched by the air. “Help me lift him up!” Yunxiao said as he sat cross-legged down in front of Meng Bai. Meng Wu’s heart jumped to her throat. She quickly helped Meng Bai up and said anxiously, “Even stimulating his acupoints with gold needles didn’t work? What should we do now?” By stimulating acupoints with gold needles, Yunxiao had cured the Five Yins terminated meridians that even Zhang Qingfan and Master Xu Han had failed to. However, it did not work on her brother, which made her extremely scared. “It’s alright. I’ll just suck the poison from his body into me,” Yunxiao said casually. With both hands locked in a hand seal, he lightly rested them on Meng Bai’s shoulders. With that, a stream of black gas immediately began to spread onto his body. “You!” Meng Wu’s pupils constricted as she cried out in horror. “How can you…do this? What will happen to you if you suck the poison into your body?” Yunxiao snorted indifferently. “I’ll be slightly scared if he was a perfect Heaven Earth Venomous Body, but your brother has only opened five chakras. The poison inside him will not be too strong. What I suck over will be digested as a tonic.” “As a tonic…” Meng Wu’s eyes grew wide. As she watched streams of black gas pouring into Yunxiao’s arms and turning him completely black while color gradually returned to Meng Bai’s face and his vitality slowly recovered, she was so moved that tears began to fall down her cheeks. Since her father died, no one had ever bothered to help her so much. Even if someone did help her, it was because they coveted her beauty, and would eventually show their true colors. Yunxiao had risked his life to help her, which filled her tough heart with warmth and moved her to tears. Yunxiao’s eyes were closed, and there was a weak sucking force around his body, making him look like a huge whirlpool. A large amount of black poisonous gas rushed straight into his body along the meridians on his arms and began to corrode his extraordinary meridians, flesh, and blood.
