Chapter 50: Xiao Yi Xian Stole a Kiss!
"Thank you, overbearing man~" Xiao Yi Xian said softly to Wu Tian.
Hearing his comforting words, her heart felt much lighter.
Since becoming an alchemist wasn't an option
Then becoming a poison master would be her path.
As long as she used it for good, just like Wu Tian said, then it would still be valuable.
But
Her sudden gentleness caught Wu Tian a bit off guard.
Still, he smiled and replied, "Now that you've got what you came for, the remaining two stone boxes are mine."
"You…"
Xiao Yi Xian's face froze for a moment.
Sure enough, an overbearing man would always be overbearing.
That gentle and reassuring tone from earlier?
Gone in an instant.
Now, he was back to being a tyrant again.
So annoying!
"What do you mean 'you'?" Wu Tian smirked. "I helped you get your poison manual for free, yet you're not even thinking about rewarding me for it."
But before he could finish his sentence
Something warm and soft suddenly pressed against his lips.
It was smooth, moist, and incredibly gentle.
Though the sensation lasted only for a moment, it was undeniably pleasant.
Wu Tian blinked.
Then
His mind caught up with what had just happened.
HE JUST GOT KISSED.
Xiao Yi Xian had stolen a kiss from him!
You gave me a soft little kiss… now I can't get over it~!
Wu Tian turned to look at her
Only to see that she had turned her back to him.
Even so, he could clearly see her ears turning bright red.
A deep sigh echoed in his heart.
Ah… this is so frustrating.
Even though I've been treating her so harshly, she still fell for me?!
This uncontrollable charm of mine… it's really a burden.
Wife, you saw that, right? I was completely passive in this!
Wu Tian stared at the back of Xiao Yi Xian, feeling a little awkward.
In an attempt to lighten the mood, he coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem… Xiao Yi Xian, don't think that just because you kissed me, I'll fall for your honey trap and give you one of the remaining items. That's impossible!"
This
Was the most painfully straight response imaginable.
Even Wu Tian himself felt like it was too much.
And as expected
The moment Xiao Yi Xian heard it, she froze in place.
Then
She snapped.
Turning around, her fierce gaze locked onto him, filled with rage.
It looked like she was ready to kill him.
She didn't just want to kill him
She was going to kill him!
In her hand, she suddenly tossed two handfuls of red and green poison powder at Wu Tian.
She knew it wouldn't actually harm him.
But right now, she didn't care.
She just wanted to teach this overbearing man a lesson.
Does he have any idea how hard it was for me to muster the courage to kiss him?!
And yet, the first thing he says is that I'm using a honey trap?!
Infuriating! Absolutely infuriating!
Wu Tian had already expected this reaction.
So
He didn't even bother dodging.
After all, he was the one who deliberately provoked her.
The red and green poison powder scattered across his body, leaving his face completely exposed.
Xiao Yi Xian, seeing the result, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Overbearing man, your hair looks so pretty now!"
Wu Tian narrowed his eyes.
Seeing her laughing so happily, he had a bad feeling.
Reaching into his storage ring, he pulled out a mirror.
This mirror, of course, wasn't his.
It belonged to Queen Medusa.
Before her evolution, she had given her storage ring to him
Meaning everything inside was his now.
After all, they were one family, right?
Holding the mirror up, Wu Tian took a good look at himself.
And the moment he did
He nearly jumped in shock.
Half of his hair was red.
The other half was green.
Red and green together…
For a second, Wu Tian was speechless.
She definitely did this on purpose.
Shaking his head vigorously, he finally shook off the powder.
Then
He turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian, expecting to see her smug grin.
Instead
Her expression was completely different.
Her playful smile was gone, replaced by a stiff, unreadable look.
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow.
Now what?
She was even more unpredictable than his wife!
What was wrong this time?!
The Mirror's Secret
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes weren't on him.
Instead, she was staring at the mirror in his hand.
Her expression froze the moment she saw it.
Because
It was clearly a woman's mirror.
The deep red engravings, the delicate floral carvings, and the exquisite snake design on the back
It all screamed feminine elegance.
Which could only mean…
This overbearing man already had a woman!
And not just any woman
A very important one.
The realization instantly soured her mood.
Wu Tian, noticing her strange expression, raised an eyebrow.
Then
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly snapped at him.
"What are you staring at?! Hurry up and open the boxes! Get what you need so we can leave I don't want to stay here any longer!"
Wu Tian blinked.
What the hell just happened?
Did she just… switch moods again?!
Feeling completely lost, he silently put the mirror away.
Then, without another word, he unlocked the next two boxes.
A Useless Treasure?
The first box contained
A high grade flight technique: Eagle Wings.
Wu Tian barely glanced at it.
For him, it was completely useless.
He could already fly with Dou Qi Wings.
So, he turned to Xiao Yi Xian and casually offered it to her.
But
She actually refused.
"I have Xiao Lan. I don't need this."
Wu Tian sighed.
What does having a flying beast have to do with this?!
Since she didn't want it, he just stored it away.
Maybe he'd use it for fun later.
Then
The final box was unlocked.
Inside was a technique scroll.
But unlike the last one
This was only a low rank Lion's Roar technique.
Essentially
A soundwave attack that could briefly stun enemies.
Completely useless to him.
After all
Why would the great guardian spirit of the Snake Tribe need to scream at his enemies?!
This wasn't Dragon Ball where screaming changed your hair color!
"Do You Want It?"
Wu Tian turned to Xiao Yi Xian and asked:
"Do you want this?"
"…No." She scowled.
"You do."
"No, I don't."
At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian once again wondered
How does this overbearing idiot have a woman who actually likes him?!
He actually wanted her, a delicate and beautiful girl, to train in Lion's Roar?!
And then
Wu Tian suddenly smirked.
"Xiao Yi Xian, you look so elegant and fairy like.
You have this soft, delicate beauty that makes men want to protect you…"
Hearing this
Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks flushed.
Her gaze wavered as she tried to avoid looking at him.
But then
Wu Tian's next words instantly made her furious again.
