Chapter 584: Repaying Karma
Quan Yi was pleasantly surprised to discover that these poisonous powders actually triggered his Liver.
As the poisonous powders entered his body, his dormant Liver burst forth with Emerald Green Blood.
Upon contact with this blood, the toxins didn't even have a chance to exert their effects before being broken down into pure energy, used to replenish himself.
All toxicity was rendered defenseless by the Liver's function.
This allowed Quan Yi to discover another hidden function of his awakened Liver:
Detoxification.
And without the toxins, the poisonous powders were nothing more than pure nutrients to Quan Yi.
Moreover, Tang San must have used many precious herbs. Although the individual quality was somewhat inferior to the Immortal Herbs or poisonous herbs in Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden,
the combination had energy no less potent than a single Immortal Herb.
So, from the very beginning, Quan Yi had been quietly absorbing the surrounding toxins.
Tang San's lips twitched slightly at Quan Yi's 'bold' behavior.
But he still earnestly explained, "My two benefactors, I'm not joking. This poison is truly very dangerous.
I can't recover these toxins myself, and can only wait for them to dissipate naturally in the wind."
Seeing Tang San's insistence, Quan Yi sighed helplessly.
Then, he extended his right hand, and a Hurricane swirled around him, rapidly drawing the surrounding air towards Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
Tang San's eyes glowed with a purple light as he stared at Quan Yi in disbelief.
With his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San noticed a highly condensed, rapidly rotating mass of pure Soul Power gathering in Quan Yi's palm.
And the Hurricane that made it difficult for him to open his eyes was caused by it.
More importantly, Tang San also discovered that the poisonous powders floating in the air, as seen through his Purple Demon Eye, were being attracted by the Hurricane and gathering into the Soul Power orb in Quan Yi's palm.
"Such precise and powerful Soul Power control."
Tang San had never seen Soul Power, which easily dissipated outside the body, being kneaded like dough in Quan Yi's hands.
The Hurricane gradually subsided, and the Soul Power orb disappeared.
When Tang San looked at Quan Yi's palm again, the poisonous powders within a radius of dozens of meters had been gathered into his palm.
Then, Quan Yi took out a small porcelain bottle, put the powder into it, and threw it back to Tang San.
"Here, I told you I'd be fine.
These poisons don't look cheap, so I'll return them to you."
Tang San caught the bottle and opened it. Although some had been lost, more than half remained.
This was a life-saving measure that Tang San had painstakingly put together with the Gold Soul Coins he had saved up in recent years in Heaven Dou City.
He never expected that the powder he had scattered would return to his hands in this way.
"Great kindness needs no thanks. I've received a great favor this time. In the future, if you two need any help, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will do my best to assist you."
Tang San didn't ask the reason for their rescue, nor did he suspect any other motives behind it.
He only knew that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring.
However, Quan Yi gently waved his hand, interrupting the serious atmosphere.
"No need to be so serious, you don't owe us anything."
Quan Yi wasn't lying. He had stolen so much from Tang San, and if it weren't for the Purple Demon Eye, he might have lost Huo Wu with just his Scarlet Dragon Eye.
He saved Tang San out of gratitude.
Now, they were even.
Of course, Tang San didn't know this and only thought that Quan Yi was naturally generous and didn't care about these things.
Tang San wisely said nothing more, but he secretly remembered the other party's kindness in his heart.
Seeing that Tang San was fine, Quan Yi planned to leave.
He kicked Shi Nian's corpse at his feet and said to Tang San, "This guy's body is yours to deal with. Remember to clean it up."
After saying that, Quan Yi planned to take Huo Wu away from this place.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped.
He said to Tang San with a complicated expression, "By the way, you and your team's Xiao Wu, you should have a good relationship, right?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's name from Quan Yi's mouth, Tang San's muscles tightened instantly.
He felt very nervous, especially after experiencing the illusion just now.
Tang San repeatedly considered in his mind, and finally, he cautiously replied, "Xiao Wu is my sister."
Quan Yi's mouth curled into a playful smile.
"You shouldn't be related by blood, right? Is she your qingmei?"
To this, Tang San was not shy, but solemnly said, "She is my sister whom I will protect with my life."
In Tang San's solemn eyes, there was a look of determination.
It was a guardian will fearless of life and death, and Quan Yi could not help but be moved by Tang San's determination.
Quan Yi retracted his playful smile and replied in an equally serious tone, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a piece of advice.
Tang San, if you care about your sister, then let her withdraw from the competition."
Tang San's eyes widened, somewhat not understanding Quan Yi's meaning.
However, seeing Quan Yi's extremely serious expression, his heart tightened inexplicably.
Why can't Xiao Wu participate in the competition? Could this matter be dangerous for her? Do they know Xiao Wu's background, or is there another reason?
Countless thoughts flashed through Tang San's mind, but in the end, he still felt that he had to ask clearly.
"Can I ask why?"
Quan Yi did not directly answer Tang San.
"If she hasn't told you, then I'm not qualified either.
But if you cherish that girl, I advise you not to let her be exposed to the public eye."
After saying that, Quan Yi didn't say anything more, and disappeared from Tang San's sight with Huo Wu.
And Tang San, who was left in place, stood there dumbfounded with a complicated expression.
After thinking for a long time, he completely cleaned up the corpse with corrosive poison, and then hurried back to Heaven Dou City.
On the way back, Huo Wu curiously asked Quan Yi.
"Will that last piece of advice expose that Xiao Wu's identity?
That Tang San is not a simple character, he is likely to guess something.
If he knows Xiao Wu's identity as a Soul Beast, can he still maintain his current thoughts?"
Huo Wu was standing in Xiao Wu's position, worrying about her safety.
Huo Wu was very clear about how attractive a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast was to Soul Masters.
In the face of huge interests, it is difficult for anyone to maintain their original intentions.
Quan Yi smiled and shook his head, "No, it won't."
Huo Wu was a little confused when she saw Quan Yi so sure.
"Why can you be so sure?"
Quan Yi then explained, "When I said the name Xiao Wu, the various emotions Tang San revealed were all proving to me his feelings for Xiao Wu.
Also, my Dragon Eyes saw the deepest fear in Tang San's heart with my own eyes."
Quan Yi's mind flashed with the illusion he saw with his Purple-Gold Dragon Eyes.
That scene, besides Tang San himself, only he saw it.
Shi Nian's illusion, while bringing pain, was also revealing the fear in his heart.
What Tang San feared most wasn't the harsh punishment that would fall upon him, but that Xiao Wu would be humiliated, and he would be powerless to do anything about it.
Seeing that desolate and miserable scene, Quan Yi had no reason not to believe it.
"Tsk tsk, and you say she's not a sweetheart. 'Ancient people' really are subtle when expressing affection."
