Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

The silence that hung heavy in the room was finally broken by Xiao Yi Xian's firm voice, although it sounded weak due to her state. "Why, don't you just want my body? What exactly do you want?"

Her voice echoed, full of firmness mixed with frustration. She looked at El with eyes that contained hope and despair all at once.

El, however, remained silent, only lifting his small cup of wine in slow motion, taking a sip of the remaining liquid without changing hid expression in the slightest.

"Tell me! I'll give you everything. My honor as a woman... or even lick you if that's what you want," Xiao Yi Xian continued, her tone sounding bitter but full of forced courage.

However, as the next words slipped from her lips, her tone softened, almost like a whisper full of tenacity. "But... Please, tell me. What is the secret of your body's immunity to poison?"

Xiao Yi Xian sighed softly, her eyes glazed over. She no longer cared about anything, as long as there was hope for recovery from the Calamity Poison Body that had become her own hell.

As long as Xiao Yi Xian could remove that suffering, she was ready to do anything, even sacrifice her pride, if necessary.

However, El still did not react. He simply took the last sip of wine from his small cup, then refilled it until the bottle was empty.

After that, El deposited the bottle and the small cup into the Sky Poison Pearl without a word.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at El with a mixture of confusion and anger. She knew El heard every word, but still chose to remain silent.

When El finally got up from the floor and walked towards the door of the room, her steps slow but steady, Xiao Yi Xian could not hold back her emotions any longer.

"Hey, tell me! Don't keep quiet!" she exclaimed, her voice breaking at the end, turning into a bitter-sounding taunt. "You pervert, you have no heart!"

However, her words didn't affect El in the slightest. He continued walking without turning around, opened the wooden door quietly, then stepped out into the cold air outside and closed the door.

Xiao Yi Xian bit her lower lip hard, enough to leave a small pain that broke her emotions. The tears she had been holding back finally fell slowly, wetting her cheeks.

"Whatever!" she shouted in a voice full of anger and pain. In the center of the empty and silent room, Xiao Yi Xian could only stare at the ceiling with tears welling up.

The despair that led to anger was understandable given her condition bound by the Calamity Poison Body, something that was in stark contrast to her gentle, warm, and caring nature.

However, underneath all this, there is a strong melancholic side. In other words, the despair that led to anger towards El's nature, which was so difficult for her to understand, was something natural.

Moments later, the sound of the door creaking softly broke the silence. El appeared carrying a simple wooden tray, on which was a cup of water and a steaming bowl of porridge.

The soft and delicious aroma of the porridge immediately filled the room. However, Xiao Yi Xian remained staring at the ceiling, her tear-stained eyes showing that she was too immersed in her emotions to care.

El walked with calm steps, approaching the side of the bed where Xiao Yi Xian was lying. He lowered his body slightly, looking at her with a flat expression that was difficult to interpret.

In a low but firm voice, El said, "Eat first. Restore your stamina."

However, the response she received was anger. "Get lost." said Xiao Yi Xian, her voice full of resistance and restrained anger.

Xiao Yi Xian's body was suddenly enveloped in a miasma that radiated with threatening intensity. "Don't be so nice to me, you bastard!"

El did not show any angry or annoyed reaction. Instead, he remained calm, his movements slow as he placed the wooden tray on the side of the bed.

After that, El unhesitatingly touched Xiao Yi Xian's poison-filled hand, an act that would have led to death for anyone but his.

That touch made Xiao Yi Xian even more agitated. "I said get lost!" she shouted louder, her voice trembling with a mixture of emotions that were difficult to control.

El looked at her with a cold gaze, his voice calm yet full of meaning. "If Xiao Yi is willing to eat some of this porridge to restore your stamina, Ji will tell... and perhaps also help with how to deal with the Calamity Poison Body."

The words were spoken with a pressing calmness, as if locking Xiao Yi Xian's choice between anger, and the faint hope she offered. The room fell silent again, only the faint rustle of the wind outside.

"Really?" asked Xiao Yi Xian, her voice low, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.

El replied briefly, her tone flat yet firm. "Eat first, Ji will talk later."

Slowly, Xiao Yi Xian turned her head towards El. Her figure looked cold and calm, like a lake without ripples.

Without waiting for further approval, El helped Xiao Yi Xian to sit down carefully, making sure her frail body was not too shaken.

El took a spoon, scooped out some warm porridge from the bowl, blew on it slowly to cool it down, then thrust it into Xiao Yi Xian's mouth.

However, Xiao Yi Xian's lips remained tightly closed, her gaze full of mixed emotions: confused, annoyed, and a little curious.

Xiao Yi Xian wondered to herself, "What exactly does he want? Why does he seem to care so much, but always respond so coldly?"

Xiao Yi Xian still recalled the words El had often spoken before, "Ji's body is hard to control around him."

This statement proved to be true, considering El had bitten her fingertips, groped her body, and had even clearly expressed his desire for her body.

However, what confused Xiao Yi Xian even more was El's response which was always cold afterwards, who knows... How else could Xiao Yi Xian describe it.

With mixed feelings, Xiao Yi Xian finally gave in to the silence. She opened her mouth, letting El bribe her slowly.

The warm porridge slid gently down her throat. Her previously pale face began to gradually turn red, showing signs of recovery.

The taste of the porridge surprised her. Despite its simplicity, it contained a warmth that was hard to explain, as if it brought calmness to her tired body.

The effect was immediate, her body relaxed, her breathing became more regular, and her depleted energy began to recover.

What Xiao Yi Xian did not know was that El had mixed the Intermediate Healing Potion and Stamina Recovery Potion into the porridge.

Not only that, El also added something even more unusual, it was his own blood essence, blood that had been purified with his Sky Poison Pearl and Heavenly Flame.

El remained silent, feeding the porridge calmly, like someone who was taking care of another person sincerely.

Xiao Yi Xian could only stare at her silently, realizing that perhaps, behind El's cold and mysterious demeanor, lurked an unusual sense of caring.

However, Xiao Yi Xian still wondered what El really wanted from her?

After finishing the porridge, Xiao Yi Xian drank the glass of water given to her by El. Her body now felt more refreshed.

For the second time in, the toxins in her body felt under control, as if they no longer demanded constant attention.

Xiao Yi Xian handed the empty glass to El, her voice firm yet hopeful. "The porridge is finished. Tell me, what do you want from me for you to tell me the secret of your immunity?"

El took the glass calmly, placing it back on the tray. "Ji doesn't want anything from you," he replied shortly, his tone remaining even. "But the secret of immunity to poison, Ji can't tell."

"Why?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in a tone that began to rise, holding back her anger and frustration. "Don't you know? How much did I suffer because of this body? My mother, even the people in that village... Dead!" Her voice broke, filled with the hurt that had been pent up.

"Don't you understand? Feeling what I feel-"

However, before her words were finished, El cut her off with a cold voice that cut through the air like a knife. "Sorry. Ji already doesn't understand. The grief of losing someone? Anger, hatred, or any emotion... Ji can no longer feel it."
