If You Think You're Stupid, Remember Someone Tried to Poison the Calamity Poison Body

Magical Beast Mountain Range, by the riverbank.

"Where... where am I?"

The Little Fairy Doctor groggily opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a lush tree canopy, through which she could glimpse the clear night sky.

Shouldn't she be dead by now?

Crack—Bang!

Just as she was feeling confused, a loud crash of breaking wood suddenly echoed in her ears.

Over there stood a handsome young man, continuously striking a tree trunk with his elbow. He was making strange noises with his mouth, shouting with every strike.

Is that... Ye Shu?

Xia Hanmo stared blankly at the figure.

Did he save her?

But why would it be him?

How could it be him?

Logically speaking, he shouldn't arrive at Qingshan Town for another two months. And why had she never seen the cultivation method this guy was practicing in her memories?

She wasn't sure; she needed to observe a bit more.

Xia Hanmo dismissed the thought of speaking up immediately and silently watched Ye Shu's actions.

On the other side.

Unaware of her gaze, Ye Shu was still familiarizing himself with his divine abilities.

"Taichong, Divine Step!"

"Xinhai, Cosmic Strike!"

With a loud shout, he executed the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art while simultaneously circulating two divine abilities he had created himself. The spiritual energy within his body flowed in an inconceivable manner, actually opening the Taichong and Xinhai acupoints at the same time to act as array cores, yet without interfering with each other.

Swish—

His figure instantly vanished from the spot.

At the same time, a gust of violent wind surged, causing Xia Hanmo to narrow her eyes.

In the next instant, Ye Shu appeared over thirty feet away, his right elbow fiercely smashing into a massive tree as thick as three people embracing.

Man!

Crack—

The large tree snapped and fell.

"Awesome!"

Ye Shu clapped his hands in satisfaction. He had only been practicing for less than half an hour and had already achieved such an effect. This proved that his talent was truly formidable.

He really should praise himself.

Standing to the side, Danxia looked at the messy surroundings—trees lying haphazardly everywhere, the forest looking as if it had been brutally ravaged—and couldn't help but massage her forehead and shake her head.

There were no special effects at all; it looked just like a mortal's martial arts technique.

What kind of divine ability was this?

This guy was too cunning.

It was clearly just great strength in his left hand and immense power in his right, yet he had to give it a fancy name and pretend it was a divine ability to deceive people.

However, she didn't expose her dear Shu.

Whether it was a black cat or a white cat, as long as it caught mice, it was a good cat.

As long as it could beat someone to death, it was fine.

Who cares about the rest.

On the other side, Ye Shu finally sensed someone's gaze. Turning his head, he saw Xia Hanmo sitting on the ground, staring at him blankly.

"You're awake?"

He approached her while stretching his joints.

Walking up close, he squatted down and looked at her.

"I fished you out of the river."

Xia Hanmo didn't speak, just quietly looking at him.

This made Ye Shu feel a bit strange.

There was no hatred in her eyes, only a calmness like a pool of stagnant water.

But this wasn't something he should care about.

He saved the person, but he couldn't leave any risks.

He wasn't the kind of person from TV dramas who would let a child go out of soft-heartedness and ultimately suffer for it.

Even with Lin Qingxue, he had left a recording stone to threaten her.

Ye Shu squatted down, pointed at her stomach, and said indifferently, "I've already fed you a special poison. If you don't get my antidote within three... ten years, your intestines will rot and you will die."

"Within these ten years, as long as you don't leak my whereabouts, don't attack me, and don't mention me to anyone, I will give you the antidote on time and ensure your safety."

"Otherwise, you die."

Ye Shu threatened with a serious face.

Xia Hanmo: "..."

Danxia: "..."

Xiaobai: "..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were wrong, looking at him as if he were an idiot, Ye Shu touched his face.

"Why are you all looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

"Sigh..."

Xiaobai covered her face and sighed.

"How can there be a Child of Destiny as stupid as you? Do you really think something like the Calamity Poison Body would be afraid of your poison?"

"..."

Ye Shu was momentarily speechless.

Thinking about it carefully.

That was actually damn right!

Xia Hanmo subconsciously licked her lips.

No wonder her mouth tasted sweet when she woke up; it turned out this guy had fed it to her.

"Regardless."

Ye Shu said with a serious face, "I saved you, so you owe me your life."

"Actually, I didn't want you to save me."

Xia Hanmo said indifferently.

What did that mean?

Ye Shu frowned.

"You want to renege on your debt?"

"Not at all." Xia Hanmo shook her head, her words shocking everyone. "I jumped into the river on my own accord. I wanted to die in the first place."

"Suicide?!"

Xiaobai, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

How could it be suicide?

Why would she commit suicide? This wasn't part of the plot.

Even Danxia was dumbfounded.

Out of nowhere, why would she commit suicide? She thought the Little Fairy Doctor had been forced by the Wolfhead Mercenary Company of Qingshan Town, or for some other reason, but she never expected it to be suicide.

"Why did you commit suicide?"

Let alone the two of them, even Ye Shu was a bit curious.

He had seen many reborn heroines—some hated him to the bone, some attacked him on sight, and some became paranoid like Little Su.

This was the first time he had seen one commit suicide.

If he hadn't happened to be here, Xia Hanmo might really have perished.

Xia Hanmo stared into his eyes and said word by word:

"Because I was reborn."

Since she wanted to die anyway, what did it matter if she revealed the secret of her rebirth? She didn't care anymore.

"Oh."

Unlike what she had imagined, Ye Shu's reaction was very plain.

"You were reborn, and then what?"

"So why did you commit suicide?"

Rebirth was a bullshit secret; he had known about it for a long time. The point wasn't the rebirth, but why she chose to commit suicide after being reborn.

"Because of you."

Xia Hanmo looked at him and shook her head again.

"And also not because of you."

"Why do you say that?"

"In the future, which should be two months from now," Xia Hanmo showed a look of reminiscence, "we would meet here, then go through some things together. Then you would give me a Seven-Colored Poison Classic, which I couldn't put down."

"And later... disaster struck."

When speaking of this, Xia Hanmo's expression was somewhat melancholy.

"I don't know when it started, but anyone who came close to me would inexplicably be poisoned and die a tragic death. I wanted to cure them, but they died one after another."

"Later on, you appeared again. You disguised me and quietly placed me in a city belonging to your rival faction, attempting to divert the disaster to them. You lied to me, saying they were all bad people who deserved to die."

Xia Hanmo looked up at Ye Shu.

"I believed you, and I was willing to do all that for you."

"Because you were the only one who, after seeing my true appearance, could still look at me with normal eyes."

"But when I actually walked into that city."

"I saw people dying right before my eyes. There were elderly people, children, and women. They were all ordinary people who knew absolutely nothing, yet they died tragically."

"Until their deaths, they didn't know what they had done wrong."

"They didn't know why they died."

"They could only die in pain and despair."

Xia Hanmo's narration was very calm, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"After the plague spread, you won."

"So many people died that day. More than everyone I have ever known in my entire life combined."

"I was in agony, yet you offered me no comfort."

"You merely said that this is the nature of war, that there will always be sacrifices, that there is no justice or innocence, and that it is either kill or be killed."

"I hate you. I truly hate you."
