Chapter 31: Devastatingly Beautiful
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chi Li carefully controlled the flame so as not to damage Yan Xi’s foundation and took the time to look at her condition.
The young girl’s body trembled violently from the pain, and her clothes were soaked in blood. However, even so, she did not make a sound!
Chi Li sighed. “If it hurts, just shout. You don’t have to hold it in.”
“I’m fine. Continue.” Yan Xi clenched her fists, her voice trembling from the pain.
Chi Li pursed his lips and controlled the flame to flow into the veins in Yan Xi’s body that were covered in ice.
As if sensing the threat, the blue crystal particles in Yan Xi’s veins began to fight back with all their might!
The cold crystals quickly spread in her veins.
Yan Xi’s lips were pale—as if she had been thrown into a frozen lake in the winter.
Seeing the counterattack of the ice poison, a trace of disdain flashed through Chi Li’s golden eyes. His flame was stronger than some measly poison!
The formation of the ice poison kept shrinking, and finally, it turned into a small crystal-clear ball of ice in a corner, shaking desperately.
Yan Xi, who was in so much pain that she almost lost her mind, felt a faint hint of consciousness come from it.
It was like a newborn baby, ignorant and only able to transmit the simplest feelings. “It hurts.”
Chi Li’s eyes flashed, and he was quite surprised. “The ice poison in your body has gained consciousness?”
It was extremely difficult for dead things like plants and ice to develop consciousness. If they could develop their own consciousness, they must have been blessed by the heavens to become a heavenly spirit treasure!
Even if they were still young and ignorant, they would be terrifying once they grew up.
Chi Li asked, “Ugly girl, do you want to contract it? An ice fey like this one that has its own consciousness is extremely rare, and it will be quite a great asset in the future. Its consciousness is still at its newborn state, and its mind is still relatively ignorant. When it’s fully intelligent, it’ll be almost impossible to subdue it.”
He paused for a moment and suddenly thought of something. “Forget it. After you make a contract with it, if your cultivation doesn’t grow as fast as it does, your meridians might be blocked by its ice power again. Not only that, but you’ll also be frozen into an eternal ice sculpture, and even your soul won’t be able to escape.”
In the legends, this type of ice poison could even freeze the soul. The bracelet was connected to Yan Xi’s soul. If her soul was damaged, he would also be affected. Chi Li did not hesitate at all as he controlled the flame to pounce over.”
“Wait a minute!” Yan Xi endured the pain and stopped him.
She could vaguely feel the emotions of the ice fey—fear, affection, attachment, and reluctance.
Perhaps this was also the reason why the original body had not been frozen into an ice sculpture after being poisoned for so many years. The ice fey had no ill intentions toward her!
It was just that her soul was not complete, and she could not sense a new consciousness.
“Are you sure? It’s difficult for a heavenly spirit treasure to advance. If you contract it, you’ll have to share half of the Spirit Qi you use for cultivation, which will greatly slow down your cultivation speed,” Chi Li said.
“Yes… Sign the contract.” Yan Xi gritted her teeth with difficulty, and her spiritual sense connected with the weak consciousness.
As soon as she put her spiritual sense in, she felt that she was wrapped in cold air. Something merged into her spiritual sea, and a light blue mark suddenly appeared in her spiritual sense.
It seemed that the flame had consumed a large amount of energy. After signing the contract, the ice fey had automatically fallen into a deep sleep to recuperate.
Chi Li also took back his flame.
The moment he retrieved his flame, a wave of vitality quickly spread through Yan Xi’s body and began to repair her damaged veins, bones, and blood. The wounds on her body began to scab at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The blazing fire was the fire of Nirvana, containing both the power of destruction and rebirth. As long as one could survive the initial pain, one would be reborn like a phoenix.
Yan Xi felt an itch on her face.
She could not help but touch it with her hand, and soon, dead skin fell off her face like crumbs.
Yan Xi was rendered speechless.
After a while, the itchy feeling disappeared. Yan Xi washed her face and touched the left side of her face.
It was smooth and delicate to the touch and no longer had the uneven feeling of being covered in scars.
Yan Xi raised her eyebrows. She had originally planned to wait until the poison was removed before making her own ointment. She did not expect that Chi Li’s flame would have this effect, which saved her a lot of effort.
At this time, dawn was breaking. Yan Xi estimated that Yan Gu and Yan Chushi had completed their body tempering.
Sure enough, banging sounds came from outside the door.
Yan Xi took off the mask hanging by the bed, put it on, and prepared to go out.
Chi Li saw her actions.
“Ugly girl…” As soon as he spoke, he realized that his words were inappropriate.
After the body tempering was completed, coupled with the forging of the body with the blazing fire, the young girl’s skin was no longer the dark yellow that had been poisoned for a long time. Instead, it appeared to be as soft and healthy.
A few rays of light shone through the window and fell on her long black hair and half of her face. She was devastatingly beautiful.
“Ahem… Stinky girl…” Chi Li’s tone changed as he asked in confusion, “The scar on your face has healed. Why are you still wearing a mask?”
Yan Xi’s eyebrows rose slightly, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, smiling slyly.
“Can’t we do a lot of things if no one recognizes my face?”
The corner of Chi Li’s mouth twitched. “You’re just thinking that because no one can recognize you, you can do bad things, right?”
Even those who were familiar with Yan Xi would not be able to associate the beautiful and charming young girl with the ugly monster of the Yan family.
Chi Li was secretly looking forward to her shenanigans.
However, he could only suppress this thought in his heart. He had just woken up from the bracelet, and using the blazing fire was still a bit too much for him.
“I’m going into a deep sleep for a while. Take it easy during this time. If something happens, I won’t be able to help.”
If Yan Xi could see the scene inside the bracelet, she would see that Chi Li’s soul breath had become a little dimmer. His pair of golden eyes, which were as bright as the sun, seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, not as bright and strong as before.
Yan Xi was about to go out when she caught a trace of weakness in his voice. She frowned. “Is it because you helped me suppress the ice fey? Do you have anything that can help you recover your strength?”
“It’s just a little ice fey. How could it affect me?” Chi Li’s voice was as arrogant as ever.
Yan Xi frowned, not believing his words.
How could the arrogant Chi Li admit his weakness?
“With your current cultivation level, you won’t be able to come into contact with any heavenly treasures that can be effective on me. I’m just sleepy, I’ll be fine after a nap. Stinky girl, don’t get bullied while I’m asleep.”
“I know.” Yan Xi did not expose him.
She knew Chi Li’s personality.
Yan Xi looked at the rising sun outside the window and put the mask on her face. The corners of her mouth curved up slightly to make him feel at ease. “Don’t worry. I’ve always been the one bullying others, and no one has ever bullied me.”
