Chapter 102: Mo Yu's Plan
"Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder?" Little Doctor Fairy repeated in shock, her delicate face filled with surprise as she looked at the thunder in Mo Yu's hand.
She knew Mo Yu possessed a powerful red flame thunder that, while not particularly overwhelming in strength, had an aura of nobility, like a king among thunders. But this thunder was different. It was weaker, like a dying ember, yet its sinister and poisonous nature made it terrifying down to the very soul. And somehow, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with it, as if it was related to her by blood.
Seeing her astonishment, Mo Yu quickly thought of a way to explain and began, "This thunder was a gift from my master. Just like the Vermilion Bird's Heaven-Splitting Thunder, this Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder was something he found during his travels across the continent. My master told me that this thunder had absorbed the corpse of a powerful practitioner with the Woeful Poison Body, which is why it became so toxic."
He continued, "However, this thunder has lost most of its power and is now just a thunder source. My master entrusted it to me, hoping that I could find a way to help it grow. Given its origins, I believe the best way to nourish it is with the poison energy from a Woeful Poison Body."
To make the thunder's origin more believable, Mo Yu once again brought up the fictional master he had invented back in Wutan City, portraying the thunder as something from the Dou Qi Continent. After all, the continent was vast and full of wonders. While Heavenly Flames were well-known, there was no reason to assume there weren't other mysterious treasures that could rival them.
After hearing Mo Yu's explanation, Little Doctor Fairy's curiosity about the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder grew. No wonder she felt a connection to it—it shared the same origin as her Woeful Poison Body. But there was still something she didn't understand. "You said you wanted to lend it to me. What do you mean?"
Holding up the sinister thunder in his hand, Mo Yu explained, "The Woeful Poison Body functions differently from ordinary cultivation methods. Instead of training Dou Qi over long periods, those with this body can grow stronger by ingesting poisons. The more potent the poison, the greater the boost to their strength. However, poison is still poison. Even though the Woeful Poison Body can suppress it, over time, as more and more poison is consumed, it will become too much to handle. When that happens, the body will erupt with deadly poison, and the host will die in excruciating pain."
As Mo Yu spoke, Little Doctor Fairy's face grew paler. Although she had anticipated this outcome, hearing it confirmed was still a heavy blow. She was, after all, just a young girl. As despair began to overtake her, she suddenly felt a warm hand gently patting her shoulder. Looking up, she met Mo Yu's reassuring gaze, and a sense of calm washed over her.
"You don't need to worry," Mo Yu said, his voice steady. "The reason I'm giving you the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder is that it can help solve this problem."
Little Doctor Fairy looked up at him, hope flickering in her eyes. "How?"
"The Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder grows by absorbing poisonous energy. And the Woeful Poison Body releases deadly poison when it erupts. I believe the two can complement each other. If I lend you the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder, it can absorb the poison from your Woeful Poison Body when it erupts, helping to suppress its destructive effects," Mo Yu explained.
Her eyes lit up as she realized the possibility. If the thunder could control the poisonous outbursts, it would prevent her from accidentally harming others, something that had always weighed heavily on her heart. Looking deeply into Mo Yu's eyes, she stepped off the bed and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Mo Yu."
Mo Yu quickly helped her up, smiling as he looked into her eyes. "There's no need to thank me. We're friends, right? Besides, I should be thanking you. Without you, I wouldn't have a source of poison energy to help the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder grow."
Little Doctor Fairy's face softened into a warm smile. "Yes, we're friends, Mo Yu. You're my only friend."
Though the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder was still weak, she understood its potential value. Mo Yu's trust in her, giving her something so precious, touched her deeply. After all, with her Woeful Poison Body, she had every reason to keep the thunder for herself.
Of course, what she didn't know was that as the master of the twelve thunders, Mo Yu had absolute control over each one. Even if she tried to take the thunder, he could easily retrieve it.
Handing the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder to her, Mo Yu advised, "Take care of it. As it grows, its power will increase. You'll be able to summon it in battle as a powerful weapon. The rest, you can figure out on your own."
Little Doctor Fairy accepted the thunder, her expression serious as she nodded. "I will. The next time we meet, I'll return it to you, fully nurtured."
Mo Yu smiled at her promise. Lending her the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder didn't make him feel any loss. After all, managing the growth of two thunders at once was too difficult right now. For now, his focus would be on nurturing the Vermilion Bird's Heaven-Splitting Thunder to its peak.
And who knew? By the time they met again, she might have raised the Xuan Yin Poison Demon Thunder to a point where he could absorb its full power in one go.
