A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 14: Consider Yourself Hard to Kill

Li Xuanxiao poured all of the Five Poisons Powder onto the woman's wound, then thoughtfully asked,

"Does it hurt?"

The woman in red answered him with silence.

Li Xuanxiao picked up another bottle of disinfectant,

[Corrosive Water]

Sizzle~

The woman in red trembled slightly.

Did it work?

Li Xuanxiao reached out to remove the inner armor from her back. Even just touching it, he could feel the lingering warmth and powerful energy it carried.

Her bare back was now fully exposed before his eyes.

If not for the wounds, the lines of her back were graceful and fluid. Every inch of her skin radiated an enchanting glow, so delicate that it made one want to reach out and touch it—yet, at the same time, afraid of desecrating such beauty.

From her slender neck down to her perfectly curved waist, the shape was just right.

Li Xuanxiao, however, had no interest in admiring it. He held a small green bottle and sprinkled its contents onto the wound.

Anesthetic Powder.

A small pinch was enough to knock out an elephant.

Yet, even after pouring half the bottle onto the wound, it had no effect whatsoever.

Alright then, let's go big!!

Li Xuanxiao mixed several medicines together.

"What is that?" the woman in red suddenly asked.

"Your injuries are too severe. These medicines need to be mixed."

The woman in red said nothing more.

Li Xuanxiao smeared the colorful ointment onto her wound.

Then he wrapped it with gauze. If I can't poison you to death, I'll be damned!!

The woman took a sharp breath, then slowly said,

"The front."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned around.

Only then did he notice the enticing blush that had spread across her cheeks.

That blush was as delicate as the petals of a newly blossomed peach flower in spring, lightly covering her fair, jade-like skin, making her already stunning face even more alluring and captivating.

Li Xuanxiao's expression remained unchanged as he thought,

I refuse to believe I still can't poison you to death!

As he continued applying the medicine,

The woman furrowed her delicate brows, her exquisite face contorted slightly as if she were enduring immense pain.

A low, suppressed groan involuntarily escaped from her straight, delicate nose.

Thirty-year-old Crane’s Red Crown, fifty-year-old Peacock Gall, sixty-year-old Broken Intestine Grass, Zhen Wine...

Li Xuanxiao mixed them all together, then silently crushed a venomous scorpion.

He evenly sprinkled the mixture onto her wound, then took some gauze and wrapped it up.

"Hoo!!"

It was finally over.

The woman in red seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

She lay on a stone inside the cave, her gaze lifting slightly to fall on the young man who had helped her.

Consider yourself hard to kill!!

Li Xuanxiao thought angrily.

The woman in red suddenly remembered something and tugged at her clothes.

"The wound has been treated. Be careful not to make any large movements or engage in combat for now. As for your internal injuries, I really can't help with those—you'll have to rely on yourself. All I could do was stop the bleeding.

Get some rest. I'm leaving now, no need to see me off.

In the martial world, fate brings people together when they meet..."

Li Xuanxiao muttered to himself as he turned to leave the cave.

"Wait," the woman in red parted her lips slightly.

Li Xuanxiao's expression remained unchanged. "No need to thank me, you can just keep it in your heart."

"Stop!"

This time, her voice was a little colder.

Li Xuanxiao stopped moving.

"I never said you could leave," the woman in red said coldly.

Sensing the situation, Li Xuanxiao obediently sat back down. "May I ask what else I can do for you?"

"Until I leave, you're not allowed to go anywhere."

"Um... just to clarify, we came to the Southern Border for training. If I don't return for a long time, the sect elders will launch a large-scale search of the mountains. That could be... quite troublesome."

Li Xuanxiao subtly reminded the person behind him.

"A mere Golden Core Stage Junior Elder is nothing," the woman in red said haughtily.

Great. She had already figured out his background.

Li Xuanxiao wisely shut his mouth.

"I never owe anyone anything. You can rest assured," the woman in red said before closing her eyes.

Li Xuanxiao wasn't sure if she had fallen asleep or was simply testing him.

For the moment, he didn't dare make any rash moves.

And just like that, about a day passed.

When the woman in red woke up again, her complexion had improved significantly, and her wound had already stopped bleeding.

"What medicine did you use on me? The wound is healing quite well."

Li Xuanxiao’s mouth twitched slightly and could only say, "Shushan’s best medicine."

Damn it! Could she be someone with a Body of Hundred Poisons?

Able to absorb any poison as nourishment?!

The woman in red sat up, seemingly channeling energy to heal her injuries.

Li Xuanxiao felt a headache coming on. If she was already this terrifying while injured, what would happen once she fully recovered?

With that thought, Li Xuanxiao stood up.

"I'm going out to find something to eat."

After all, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator and still needed food to replenish his energy. That was a perfectly reasonable excuse.

"I'll also collect some dew for you."

Dew contained traces of spiritual energy, something high-level cultivators like her normally wouldn’t care for.

But now that she was injured, that might be a different story.

The woman in red nodded slightly.

With her approval, Li Xuanxiao finally stepped out of the cave.

However, he had no intention of running away.

Are you kidding? With that god-like figure sitting right there...

Letting himself run for a day would only make it easier for her to catch him again.

As for seeking help from others, that was even more out of the question.

The Golden Core Stage Junior Elder leading the group wasn’t even worth considering in her eyes.

Li Xuanxiao stepped out of the cave, took a blue bottle from his storage ring, and sprinkled its contents around the area.

This powder could attract the ferocious beasts and venomous insects in the forest.

Once he had emptied the bottle, he slipped away.

After collecting some dew and waiting a while, he pretended as if nothing had happened and returned to the cave.

Inside the cave.

Li Xuanxiao looked at the woman in red sitting on a stone.

Then, he looked at the several massive, powerful beast corpses lying around.

"...What happened? Did you go hunting?"

Li Xuanxiao quickly accepted the failure of his plan, keeping up his flawless act.

"Something like that. It'll be good nourishment," the woman in red said indifferently.

Feeling guilty, Li Xuanxiao took the initiative to handle the dissection of the beasts and the cooking.

The small bottle labeled as chili powder poured out a red powder that looked just like ground chili.

It even had a slightly pungent smell.

In reality, however, it was Piercing Heart Powder...

After some time, a pot of beast meat soup was ready.

With Li Xuanxiao’s cooking, it looked incredibly appetizing.

The woman in red glanced at him—who would have thought that young people these days could actually cook?
