Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Brother, you're from out of town, aren't you?" someone said to Xu Ran.

In Qing Shan Town, there were no shortage of people who came for Xiao Yi Xian's beauty. Those who coveted her beauty and tried to harass her all met with very ugly ends.

Although Xiao Yi Xian had a gentle and kind personality, she still had many admirers in Qing Shan Town.

Particularly when the crowd saw Xu Ran's handsome appearance, which was fundamentally different from their own rough and tumble nature, they felt a bit jealous at the moment.

In their eyes, Xiao Yi Xian was akin to a goddess, and anyone who entertained ideas about her was their enemy!

"What's up?"

Xu Ran touched his nose.

No matter the era, the lethal power of a beautiful woman was immense!

At the moment, he hadn't even done anything yet but had already attracted the attention of many present, with quite a few showing outright hostility toward him.

Sigh!

Was this because his appearance and aura were too extraordinary, making him seem a rival in love upon arrival?

Ptui!

A rival in love, my foot!

These people could only pine for Xiao Yi Xian; in their lifetimes, they would never have any opportunity to establish a relationship with her.

"Kid, I'd advise you to refrain from setting your sights on Xiao Yi Xian. Otherwise, the consequences could be severe. Over the years, those who've tried to strike up a conversation with Xiao Yi Xian haven't ended well," the burly man said very seriously to Xu Ran.

In Qing Shan Town, ordinary mercenaries are often protectors of beauty.

Xiao Yi Xian was a healer. Though different from a traditional alchemist, healers could still be considered a type of alchemist, albeit with a much lower status since they cannot truly refine elixirs. They can only use common flames to mix herbal ingredients to achieve a healing effect, but that's far from what an alchemist can do with their elixirs. Thus, every healer dreams of becoming an alchemist, yet many spend their whole lives unable to step over that threshold. Ultimately, it boils down to a lack of innate talent and guidance.

Xiao Yi Xian, as a healer, might not be as formidable as an alchemist, but being able to save lives and help the injured was more than enough for Qing Shan Town.

For these mercenaries, even if a real alchemist were to come along, perhaps they wouldn't command the same respect as Xiao Yi Xian. After all, most of the mercenaries couldn't afford the elixirs from an alchemist.

"Oh? Trying to intimidate me?" Xu Ran curled his lip.

Sadly, he was not here to strike up a conversation with Xiao Yi Xian.

Strike up a conversation? Too conservative!

He was here to woo Xiao Yi Xian!

"Kid, don't get too cocky. You won't like the consequences. I can see you're quite the talent and probably not of ordinary status. But we mercenaries live life on the edge of a knife and aren't afraid of you. Xiao Yi Xian is our benefactor, and if you're planning on making a move on her, we definitely won't let you off easy," the man said angrily, clearly dissatisfied with Xu Ran's demeanor.

Xu Ran had planned to teach this man a lesson, but seeing his reverence for Xiao Yi Xian, he dropped the idea.

"Who told you I'm here to woo Xiao Yi Xian? I'm here to treat her illness. Xiao Yi Xian is critically ill, and if she doesn't get proper treatment, the consequences will be severe. So, are you going to stop me now?" Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders.

Her life was in danger at every moment, and if she lost control over the poison within her, it would be unthinkable.

Even in the original storyline, Xiao Yi Xian was once in grave danger.

Because of her Calamity Poison Body, she had also been pursued.

The Calamity Poison Body is a strange condition that allows one to rapidly increase their strength by devouring poison pills. To identify a Calamity Poison Body, there is a thin, seven-colored hidden line on the lower abdomen, which grows in length as the concentration of poison within the body increases. When the seven-colored line reaches the heart, it signifies the most powerful moment of the Calamity Poison Body, but it also comes with the pain of being consumed by myriad poisons.

Xiao Yi Xian's years of studying alchemy were probably in search of a way to solve her own body's problems.

In the original work, Xiao Yi Xian chanced upon the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture in a mountain cave while hunting for treasure with Xiao Yan.

For those with the Calamity Poison Body, the more intense the poison, the greater its allure. They would even kill and snatch to get their hands on deadly poison. In their eyes, deadly poison was like the attraction of "Strange Fire" for alchemists, sparing no effort to attain it, even if it meant darting into the flames like a moth...

Of course, if they did not consume poison pills the first time, the Calamity Poison Body would not be activated.

But...

For those with the Calamity Poison Body, cultivating by consuming poison pills is much faster than normal cultivation. If they're unaware of their constitution, it's fine, but if they know, who could resist such temptation?

However, with him around, all it would take is helping Xiao Yi Xian produce a Poison Pill, and everything would be solved easily.

"Pfft-haha. What are you joking about? How could Xiao Yi Xian possibly be sick?" the burly man laughed at Xu Ran's words. He clearly did not believe a word Xu Ran said.

Ahead, Xiao Yi Xian had been paying close attention to Xu Ran ever since he appeared.

Although Xiao Yi Xian was naive, she was still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and Xu Ran's handsome features could indeed make a girl lose her composure. Even the usually indifferent Xiao Yi Xian took several more glances at him.

However, as she listened to Xu Ran's words, her pretty face grew darker and darker.

Anyone would be upset if they were accused of being sick out of the blue! "You, you, you..."

Xiao Yi Xian stood up, glaring at Xu Ran with her large Cardiline eyes, puffing with anger.

"Xiao Yi Xian, this guy is really too ignorant. Want us to throw him out for you? I think he's just trying to flirt with you!"

"That's right, that's right."

The group of people started to jeer, looking at Xu Ran with malicious intent in their eyes.

Their beloved Xiao Yi Xian was not to be desecrated by others!

"No need for you to act, I want to see what he can come up with."

"You said I'm sick, right? Then tell me, what sickness do I have?"

Xiao Yi Xian walked over to Xu Ran and asked very seriously. In her heart, she categorized Xu Ran as just another one of the flirtatious men she had encountered over the years, which made her feel a tinge of disappointment.

Xu Ran had an extraordinary presence, whether in terms of temperament or appearance, he was the best-looking man she had seen in all these years. But was such a person also so vulgar?

"Are you sure you want me to say it?" Xu Ran looked at Xiao Yi Xian in front of him, and could not help but feel a hint of pity in his eyes. Among the stunning women on the Fighting Spirit Continent, Xiao Yi Xian's origin was the most pitiable.

Having experienced all that from a young age, yet she still maintained a pure and kind heart, how rare was that?

"Speak up if you're going to. I don't believe you can come up with anything! I'm very healthy." Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat unsettled by Xu Ran's gaze, and his look of pity softened her tone.
