Chapter 23 Did they drink fake alcohol?
Little Fairy Doctor felt dizzy.
The starry sky before my eyes began to spin, and a blissful, intoxicating feeling welled up from the bottom of my heart.
It's probably those seasonings that worked!
She secretly turned her head and glanced at Xiao Zheng beside her in the dim firelight.
The boy's profile was sharp and clean, his eyelashes casting soft shadows under his eyelids. The way he gazed intently at the starry sky stirred something within her.
A thought suddenly popped into my head.
If I could live in seclusion with Brother Xiao Zheng like this from now on, it wouldn't be bad.
But as soon as the thought popped into her head, she jerked it away.
She and Xiao Zheng have only known each other for about three months, which is far from the point they've reached!
Moreover, she was also burdened with the curse of the Calamity Poison Body...
But at that moment, Little Fairy Doctor felt even more dizzy.
What's going on?
Her seasonings weren't this potent before. Could it be that the seasonings and the bird had some strange reaction?!
Why does it feel like I've been drinking fake alcohol?
Little Fairy Doctor's body swayed uncontrollably, leaning directly against Xiao Zheng's shoulder.
Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback and glanced at the girl.
The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her breath carried a faint scent of alcohol, indicating that she was quite drunk.
He was inwardly astonished: "Wait, is Little Fairy Doctor's seasoning really that strong? I don't feel anything at all!"
Xiao Zheng tried his best to maintain a sitting posture so that his shoulders could be a stable pillow for Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor leaned against a warm shoulder, gazing at the starry sky, her intoxication overwhelming her reason like a tidal wave.
Those secrets that had been buried deep in my heart for years, those bitternesses that I had never told anyone, now seemed to have found an outlet and surged up uncontrollably.
"Brother Xiao Zheng..."
Her voice was somewhat ethereal, as if she were talking in a dream, "You know what? I'm actually not an ordinary person."
Xiao Zheng's heart stirred, but he didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.
When I was three years old, my mother took me to a small village where people gathered herbs.
"Then one day, a lot of black poisonous gas suddenly came out of my body. The villagers, including my mother, were all killed by that poisonous gas..."
"My mother told me before she died that I was born with a cursed constitution called the Calamity Poison Body."
"I was so scared at that time. I didn't know why I had turned into a monster. All I could do was run for my life, and I ran as far as I could."
"I feel like a monster!"
Little Fairy Doctor sniffed, her voice choked with emotion, "Later, I didn't want to kill anyone anymore, so I desperately studied medicine."
"I also want to become an alchemist; maybe I can find a way to suppress the poison gas."
"But my soul attributes don't include fire and wood, so I can't become an alchemist at all."
"Before I joined Wan Yao Zhai, my poisonous body flared up several times, and each time I accidentally killed many people."
"They all say I'm a jinx."
"Later, I took a lot of herbs, which suppressed the calamity toxin and reduced the frequency of outbreaks."
"Later, I joined Wan Yao Zhai, and a year later I met Brother Xiao Zheng..."
After saying all this, Little Fairy Doctor seemed to have all her strength drained away, and her mind suddenly cleared.
She woke up instantly, her eyes wide open, her face filled with regret and panic.
Oops!
How could she have revealed all these secrets?
Counterfeit alcohol is harmful!
Those seasonings, I must never touch them again!
Once Xiao Zheng learns that she has the Calamity Poison Body and that she has killed many people, he will definitely hate her, be afraid of her, and even stay away from her like everyone else, right?
Little Fairy Doctor nervously raised her head, trying to find a look of disgust on Xiao Zheng's face, but what she saw was gentleness and calmness.
There was no fear or disgust in Xiao Zheng's eyes, only a faint pity.
Little Fairy Doctor found it incredible.
Xiao Zheng said softly, "Actually, when we were refining medicine together before, I noticed that you had a special physique."
Little Fairy Doctor was stunned: "You...you already found out?"
"Um."
Xiao Zheng nodded, "There is a very peculiar energy hidden in your fighting spirit, but I didn't expect it to be the Calamity Poison Body."
"Now I know why you were so hesitant when I asked you to come with me. You were afraid I'd hate you if I found out the truth later, right?"
"Don't worry, no matter what you become, I will always be your Xiao... We will always be good friends."
Xiao Zheng wanted to say "I'm always your brother Xiao Zheng," but the words came out too quickly and he felt they were too cheesy.
Moreover, their relationship seems far from reaching that stage.
If Xiao Yan were to say that to Xun'er now, it would make more sense.
Little Fairy Doctor was immediately moved to tears by Xiao Zheng's words.
A warm current instantly surged through her heart.
This warm current dispelled all the unease in Little Fairy Doctor's heart.
She looked at Xiao Zheng's face, her voice trembling with emotion: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Zheng."
At this moment, the intoxication intensified, and Little Fairy Doctor felt a strong drowsiness wash over her. She tilted her head and fell asleep.
As Xiao Zheng gazed at the pretty face of Little Fairy Doctor so close to his eyes, the wicked thoughts that a normal man would usually have at this moment popped into his mind.
Should we take this opportunity to do something?
Anyway, she's completely drunk right now, so even if she did something, she probably won't remember it when she wakes up.
Even if she remembers, what can she do to him?
However, he ruthlessly extinguished the thought as soon as it popped into his head.
Such matters require mutual affection, and Xiao Zheng disdained taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.
Moreover, he was a time traveler, and deep down he couldn't accept doing such a thing at the age of fifteen.
They should at least wait until they are adults and both parties are interested before considering it.
Xiao Zheng carefully picked up Little Fairy Doctor and gently placed her in a sheltered spot inside the cave.
After doing all this, he walked to the cave entrance, sat down, kept watch, and looked up at the starry sky.
After midnight, Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged and began his cultivation for the new day.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Little Fairy Doctor slowly woke up.
She was puzzled to find herself lying on the ground, so she recalled what had happened last night and was immediately shocked.
I think I got drunk because of that damn seasoning, and I even fell asleep on Brother Xiao Zheng...
Will Xiao Zheng take advantage of this opportunity to...
Although Little Fairy Doctor did not think Xiao Zheng was the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress, in that situation, I doubt many men could resist.
She quickly checked her clothes and body.
His clothes were intact, and he showed no signs of discomfort.
Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed she had judged him by her own petty standards.
Where is Brother Xiao Zheng?
She turned her head to look at the cave entrance and saw that Xiao Zheng was meditating and cultivating, so she did not disturb him.
Little Fairy Doctor focused her attention on the Blue Eagle's corpse beside her.
Because this blue eagle is a magical beast, it won't rot overnight; instead, its flesh will become soft and easier to handle.
Remembering that her brother Xiao Zheng had said he wanted to turn the Blue Eagle into jerky, she took out the knife she carried with her from her storage ring and began to process the Blue Eagle.
Skinning, deboning, and cutting the meat into pieces—Little Fairy Doctor's movements were swift and efficient.
Not long after.
Xiao Zheng completed his four hours of cultivation for the day, and his proficiency increased slightly.
[Realm: Two-Star Dou Shi (1/22)]
Hearing a noise nearby, he turned his head and saw Little Fairy Doctor dealing with Blue Eagle's corpse.
Good morning.
"morning."
Xiao Zheng went to Little Fairy Doctor's side to help.
Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor handed over the rest of the work to Xiao Zheng.
She then took out various seasonings from her storage ring to make marinade.
Xiao Zheng's lips curled up, revealing a playful expression: "Put less of that kind of stuff that makes people drunk, okay?"
Little Fairy Doctor blushed deeply.
One hour later.
With the combined efforts of the two, all the blue eagle meat was transformed into dried meat, coated with marinade, and laid out to dry at the cave entrance.
At noon, the two packed up the dried meat and prepared to continue their journey.
Little Fairy Doctor momentarily forgot that she was halfway up the mountain, so she was about to step into thin air.
Thankfully, Xiao Zheng pulled her back in time, otherwise this girl would have been in real trouble.
Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the ground, her face slightly pale: "I'm sorry..."
Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head, then picked up Little Fairy Doctor around the waist and jumped down from the cave entrance.
During the fall, Little Fairy Doctor hugged Xiao Zheng's neck tightly and rested her face against his chest. She felt that after last night's experience, her relationship with Xiao Zheng had become much closer!
