With Wei Yang’s current flying speed, it only took him half a day to reach the outer perimeter of the Magic Beast Mountain Range near Qingshan Town.

And within an hour, he had successfully found that mysterious small valley.

This place was rich in heaven and earth energy.

From above, its topography resembled a basin.

”This should be the place.”

Wei Yang hovered in midair, sensing the energy density in the area. With a slight flap of his black wings, he directly flew deep into the valley.

After a brief exploration, Wei Yang left satisfied.

That very night, he returned to Wu Tan City.

The next day, he prepared for the journey.

On the third morning, Wei Yang took Xian’er and departed Wu Tan City once more.

By midday, they had once again reached the sky above the Magic Beast Mountain Range outside Qingshan Town.

Wei Yang held Xian’er in his arms as they soared through the air.

Xian’er gazed into the distance toward Qingshan Town, her voice soft.

”We’re back here again.”

Memories from two years ago resurfaced in her mind.

Back then, she was only twelve years old, having just wandered into Qingshan Town, lost and uncertain about her future.

Qingshan Town—it was the place where she met Wei Yang, the place where her fate changed forever.

If she hadn’t met him, she had no idea where she would be right now.

She thought to herself.

Now, in the blink of an eye, more than two years had passed...

She was on the verge of breaking through to the Dou Ling realm, but more importantly—

She lifted her head, looking at Wei Yang’s profile, a subtle yet blissful smile appearing on her lips.

She had found family, she had found a home, and her heart had found its belonging.

A warmth spread through her chest, and she instinctively nestled deeper into Wei Yang’s embrace, feeling utterly content.

Wei Yang noticed the movement of the girl in his arms.

He looked down at her, smiling.

”What’s on your mind, little girl?”

Xian’er merely tightened her grip around Wei Yang’s arm, shaking her head without answering.

Wei Yang chuckled softly, not pressing further.

His black wings flapped, and their figures soared across the sky.

Flying deep into the valley, they gradually descended.

The thick energy permeating the valley was so rich that both of them couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Instantly, their entire bodies felt refreshed.

”Brother Yang, the energy here is so dense! Just breathing it in makes me feel completely relaxed!” Xian’er exclaimed in amazement.

”What do you think? Nice place, huh?”

Seeing Xian’er’s awed expression, Wei Yang smirked with a hint of pride.

”This small valley is completely isolated from the outside world. Plus, there’s a thick layer of mist above, making it incredibly well-hidden. I only discovered it by pure chance.”

”It’s amazing!” Xian’er nodded in agreement.

Her gaze swept across the mist-covered valley, and she suddenly gasped in delight.

Just as Wei Yang had mentioned, the valley was indeed filled with rare medicinal herbs.

A fragrant herbal aroma mingled with the mist, making every breath calming and soothing.

”Wow~! There are so many herbs here!”

Xian’er cheered, flitting around the valley like a white butterfly.

She stopped here and there, sniffing and examining the plants.

Her face flushed with excitement, her clear, crisp laughter echoing through the valley.

Wei Yang watched her, shaking his head with a smile.

Then, he approached a rock wall and summoned his Dou Qi, beginning to carve out their new residence.

Soon, the basic layout of the cave dwelling was complete.

It had a main hall, living quarters, a closed-door cultivation chamber, and an alchemical refining room.

He even prepared stone tables, chairs, beds, and other living essentials.

”Xian’er, Stop Playing!”

Wei Yang stepped out of the cave, calling out to her.

”Come help set up the cave!”

”Coming~!”

Xian’er reluctantly tore herself away from her exploration, skipping back with a grin.

Her footsteps were light, like a graceful white butterfly weaving through the valley, carefully avoiding the precious herbs.

Finally, she arrived back at the cave entrance, smiling mischievously.

”Brother Yang, I love this place so much! It feels like paradise!”

Her eyes sparkled with joy as she clung to Wei Yang’s arm, still unable to contain her excitement.

Wei Yang chuckled, ruffling her hair.

”As long as you like it.”

”Now let’s get the place set up.”

”Mm! Okay!”

With Wei Yang’s intentional spoiling, Xian’er’s personality had changed slightly from the original story, becoming more cheerful and lively.

Especially in front of Wei Yang, when the two were alone, Xian’er would revert to the demeanor of a typical young girl.

After all, she had met Wei Yang when she was twelve, and now she had just turned fifteen. In terms of age, she was about three or four months older than Xiao Yan. This stage of life was crucial for the development of one’s personality, mindset, and values.

For many people, their psychology, character, and worldview are largely shaped during this period.

Of course, Xian’er’s innate temperament had not changed.

She had merely gained a slight touch of playfulness and youthful innocence.

However, while she was kind, she was by no means a saint.

After all, she possessed the Woeful Poison Body!

Moreover, with her heart set on Wei Yang, she naturally had no objections to assisting him.

For instance, if it were up to Xian’er alone, she wouldn’t have drugged and robbed Gu Te.

But since Wei Yang wanted to do it, she didn’t hesitate to help.

There was no doubt about it—she didn’t even need to think twice.

”Hmph~ hmph~”

Xian’er hummed a cheerful tune while taking out various items from her Na Ring and began decorating the cave residence.

Cushions, prayer mats, soft beast pelts, blankets, pillows, tea sets—she laid everything out one by one, arranging them properly.

”Brother Yang, when I was looking around just now, I found a lot of medicinal herbs here that are useful to me. I can use them to refine many poisons recorded in the Rainbow Poison Book,” Xian’er said with a smile.

”You plan to use those poisons to break through to Dou Ling?” Wei Yang asked.

”No, I’ve already prepared the poisons I need for that breakthrough,” Xian’er blinked mischievously. ”What I mean is, after I reach Dou Ling, I can use these poisons to rapidly increase my cultivation. I’ll catch up to you in no time, Brother Yang!”

Wei Yang chuckled helplessly. ”Looks like I’ll soon be the one clinging to your thigh, huh?”

”Hehe~” Xian’er puffed up her small chest proudly, tilting her head. ”By then, it’ll be my turn to protect you! Anyone who dares bully you, I’ll beat them up for you!”

”Hmph.” Wei Yang pinched her soft little cheeks and smirked. ”Don’t get too cocky. In a little while, I’ll be taking that Three Lines Green Spirit Pill—I’ll be a Nine-Star Dou Ling instantly. By the time you reach Nine-Star Dou Ling, I might have already broken through to Dou Wang!”

”You—you’re using pills? That’s cheating!” Xian’er widened her eyes in protest.

Oh no! How did she forget that Brother Yang could take medicinal pills?

”Wow~ listen to yourself! Don’t you think that’s unfair?” Wei Yang’s eyes also widened. ”You’re using poison to cultivate, but that’s fine? Who’s really cheating here?”

Come on, when it comes to cheating, is there anyone more outrageous than the Woeful Poison Body?

That wasn’t just cheating—it was insane!

Hearing this, Xian’er suddenly realized the truth and looked a little embarrassed.

Brother Yang was right.

Her physique was a bit of a cheat.

However...

She quickly smirked again. ”Hmph! But you only have one Three Lines Green Spirit Pill! And after reaching Dou Wang, the only pill that can help you quickly increase your strength is the Dou Spirit Pill—which is a Tier 5 pill. You can’t refine it yet, and even if you do, you can only take it once!”

”So, I’ll still catch up to you soon!”

”You little troublemaker, you’re really in a hurry for me to cling to your thigh, huh? Not even giving me a chance to breathe.” Wei Yang shook his head, amused.

”Hehe~ I just want to protect you, Brother Yang.” Xian’er grasped his hand tightly.

”I’m warning you,” Wei Yang suddenly turned serious, ”you can push yourself to catch up, but you must always remember one thing.”

”I know, I know—perfectly controlling every ounce of my strength.” Xian’er shook her head dramatically. ”I know! You’ve already said it so many times!”

Wei Yang flicked her little ear. ”Well, I don’t want you forgetting. Pinching your ear like this will make sure you remember!”

”Ah~ that hurts!”

Thus, their secluded life in the valley began.

On the second day, Xian’er successfully broke through to the Dou Ling realm.

She locked herself in a secluded chamber for her advancement, sealing the stone door shut.

Even so, faint wisps of poison gas still seeped out from the cracks below the door.

Seeing this, Wei Yang put everything else aside and stationed himself in front of the chamber, using his flames to burn away any escaping poison.

As Xian’er ascended to the Dou Ling level, the toxicity within her body intensified further—especially since her poison was fire poison.

Even with Wei Yang’s peak Rank 4 Beast Flame, he could only just manage to incinerate the trace amounts of poison leaking out. He had to take the situation seriously.

This left Wei Yang astonished.

If just a little residual poison was already this troublesome, then if Xian’er were to unleash her fire poison at full force—its potency would be unimaginable!

Indeed, the fire poison attribute of the Woeful Poison Body was simply unrivaled!
