Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Xiao Yi Xian scrutinized Xu Ran closely, her heart inevitably fluttering with panic.

Especially the sincere pity in Xu Ran's eyes only deepened her confusion.

What on earth was going on?

She had never met the man before her, so why was he looking at her like that? And in Qing Shan Town, she had encountered all sorts of people: those who adored her, those who worshipped her, the lecherous, and even the perverse.

But this was the first time she had ever seen someone look at her with such a pitiful expression.

"Your physique has issues," Xu Ran whispered into Xiao Yi Xian's ear.

Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly felt her pupils contract, and her delicate body trembled violently.

Once again, those horrid memories surged into her mind. She could still recall all those painful events vividly to this day.

It was all because of her!

She alone had caused the death of so many people!

Everyone in the village had died because of her!

As painful memories flooded in, a layer of moisture welled up in Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes.

At this moment, she appeared quite fragile, as if a gust of wind could sweep her away.

"Bastard! What the hell did you say to Xiao Yi Xian?"

"You dare to bully Xiao Yi Xian? Are you tired of living?"

"In Qing Shan Town, anyone may be bullied, but Xiao Yi Xian is off-limits."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian suddenly become like this, a group of people thought Xu Ran was to blame. They immediately rushed forward, ready to lay hands on Xu Ran.

However, before they could even touch Xu Ran, Xiao Yi Xian stopped them.

"Stop!"

"It's not his fault; it's just that I'm emotionally unstable," Xiao Yi Xian quickly explained. At this moment, she no longer dared to underestimate Xu Ran.

What was her physique?

For years, she had asked herself this question countless times during nightmares.

She had been searching for the answer all this time.

She had never expected that, after searching for so long without success, someone now seemed to recognize her condition!

What exactly was the condition that had killed all the people in her village?

"Come with me," she said.

Biting her teeth, Xiao Yi Xian led Xu Ran toward her boudoir.

"Damn it!"

"What on earth is up with this guy?"

"Xiao Yi Xian has never spoken so much to a strange man before, and now, she even cried because of him."

"Ahh, my Xiao Yi Xian."

As Xu Ran was led away by Xiao Yi Xian, countless people felt the urge to cough up blood. They desperately wished they could take Xu Ran's place and enjoy the fortune that awaited him.

Spend time alone with Xiao Yi Xian? That was something many longed for but could never attain.

...

In Xiao Yi Xian's boudoir.

Xiao Yi Xian stood there frailly, her beautiful eyes unwaveringly staring at Xu Ran.

"What exactly do you know?" Xiao Yi Xian's heart clenched tightly.

After being entangled for so many years, she was about to approach the answer for the first time, and her heart could not remain calm.

She was desperate to know, why exactly?

Why had she become like that all those years ago?

"Your constitution is the Calamity Poison Body," Xu Ran finally spoke up.

"Calamity Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian's delicate face changed slightly. Just hearing the name, she could understand the terror of her condition. Calamity, poison... these three words seemed to completely align with her past experiences.

Yes, hadn't she alone caused the death of the entire village, bringing calamity to others?

"The Calamity Poison Body is an extremely rare constitution. Those who possess the Calamity Poison Body can become stronger quickly by swallowing poison. And what they cultivate is also Poison Fighting Qi. Over the years, you must have been swallowing poison too, right? For those with the Calamity Poison Body, poison is the best supplement," Xu Ran continued.

"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently.

After that accident, she realized that poison seemed to have a fatal attraction to her. Those things that common people avoided at all costs deeply enticed her to approach and even ingest them.

And every time she consumed poison, her strength would surge dramatically.

Of course, there is no such thing as perfection in the world. Although the Calamity Poison Body can quickly increase strength by eating poison, in the end, poison is still poison. Although they can stop the poison's potency from ravaging their bodies, when they consume too much poison, so much so that even the Calamity Poison Body can no longer suppress the Poison Fighting Qi inside them, that's when... the pain of thousands of poisons devouring the body would make them die slowly in the most excruciating agony.

Moreover, after swallowing too much poison, the cultivator themselves become a carrier of extreme poison, deadly to anyone who touches them.

Xu Ran went on to say.

And Xiao Yi Xian's complexion grew even paler.

"The Calamity Poison Body is extremely rare on the Continent. If one does not actively consume poison, even if they have the constitution of the Calamity Poison Body, it will not be triggered. Back then, you must have accidentally ingested some poisonous herb that activated this constitution." In the original work, Xiao Yi Xian also did not know her own constitution until she explored a cave with Xiao Yan and found the Seven-colored Poison Scripture. And it was detailed in the Seven-colored Poison Scripture about the Calamity Poison Body. It was then that Xiao Yi Xian learned about her constitution.

"Is that so?"

"All the puzzles have been solved."

"So that's what happened. It was because I consumed the wrong poison that I became like that."

"But, it should have been my mistake. The one who should have died after consuming the poison was me. Why did it harm those innocent people instead? Why? Why?"

Xiao Yi Xian said, as if her soul had left her body, tears streaming continuously from her eyes, trailing over her delicate cheeks.

At this moment, she finally understood everything.

It felt like her heart was being cut with a knife. If not for her, those people would not have died.

Heh...

The Calamity Poison Body, huh?

If she were to continue walking in this world, would she still bring calamity to others?

All of a sudden, Xiao Yi Xian lost all her strength and collapsed weakly to the floor.

"You know my constitution is the Calamity Poison Body, don't you? Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you afraid that I might lose control of myself again someday?" Xiao Yi Xian lifted her tear-stained, pearlescent eyes to look at Xu Ran.

"What's there to be afraid of? Now that I know your constitution, I have a way to help you."

"Don't cry anymore. Let the past be the past. You're still young; your life ahead will be much broader," Xu Ran said, his eyes filled with pity. To have caused the death of an entire village, anyone would struggle to get over such a hurdle in their heart. Xiao Yi Xian experienced all this when she was just a little girl. Although the Calamity Poison Body allowed her to rapidly become a strong figure, given the choice, perhaps she would rather have been an innocent, carefree girl.

"You really have a way?"

Xiao Yi Xian's tearful eyes paused, and she looked at Xu Ran with pouted lips.
