The toxic body spiraled out of control, unleashing a catastrophe; the rebellious god sacrificed himself to protect the immortal healer.

Deep in the Poison Mist Valley of the Star Dou Secret Realm, the miasma was as thick as ink. The ground was covered in rotting black moss, and the air was filled with a potent poison capable of corroding spirit power. Medical Immortal followed a trace of a special poison source deep into the valley, unaware that the black moss beneath her feet was a symbiotic plant of the "Calamity Poison Vine," and the primal toxin it emitted resonated violently with the Calamity Poison Body within her.

"Something is wrong..." Medical Immortal's face suddenly turned pale. Her fair hand clutched her chest as the pale purple Poison Mist around her surged instantly, no longer under her control but instead violently backfiring. The power of the Calamity Poison Body, like a burst dam, raged through her meridians. Her pupils were dyed deep purple, and her aura became violent and dangerous. "The Poison Body... I can't control it!"

The Poison Mist spread outward with her as the center. Wherever it passed, vegetation withered and carbonized instantly, and rocks were corroded with dense, tiny holes. The Heroines, who were searching for treasures nearby, all changed color. Karin exclaimed, "It's Medical Immortal's Poison Body losing control! This toxin is too domineering; even my Blood Contract Power can't block it!"

Ning Rongrong immediately activated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. A pink defensive amplification light enveloped everyone, yet it was still difficult to completely isolate the Poison Mist. "Brother Su Chen, think of a way! If this continues, the entire Poison Mist Valley will be submerged in the Poison Mist, and we will be affected too!"

Su Chen had already flashed forward, breaking through the Poison Mist to reach Medical Immortal. At this moment, Medical Immortal had lost focus, her body trembling violently, and the Poison Mist around her condensed into countless purple Poison Vines, lashing out crazily at the surroundings. "Medical Immortal! Look at me!" Su Chen gave a low shout, his black and gold God-Defying Power unfolding into a barrier, forcefully blocking the attacks of the Poison Vines.

"Brother Su Chen... don't come over!" Medical Immortal regained a shred of sanity, her eyes filled with pain and fear. "My Poison Body is too dangerous; it will hurt you! Go away!"

"I have said before, with me here, your poison is also a treasure. I won't let it hurt anyone, and I certainly won't let it hurt you." Su Chen's eyes were firm. Ignoring the corrosion of the Poison Mist, he stepped closer to her, his God-Defying Power turning into a gentle halo, attempting to envelop the out-of-control Poison Body.

But the backlash of the Calamity Poison Body far exceeded expectations. Purple Poison Vines suddenly entangled Su Chen's limbs, and the Poison Mist seeped into his body along his skin, bringing burning pain. "Pfft!" Su Chen let out a muffled groan, black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, yet he did not retreat. Instead, he lunged forward, pulling Medical Immortal tightly into his arms.

"Ah—!" Medical Immortal screamed. The power of the Poison Body was almost swallowing her whole, but Su Chen's warm embrace and the God-Defying Power coming from his palms allowed her to feel a trace of clarity.

"Relax, give your Poison Body's power to me." Su Chen's voice carried a hint of trembling, yet it remained gentle. "Trust me, I can help you suppress it; I won't let you become a poison person who only knows how to kill." His palms pressed tightly against Medical Immortal's dantian, and his black and gold God-Defying Power surged in endlessly, acting like a levee to block the runaway Poison Body while slowly purifying the out-of-control toxins.

In the Poison Mist, the two held each other tightly. Su Chen's God-Defying Power collided fiercely with Medical Immortal's Poison Body power, yet under his control, they gradually merged. Medical Immortal could clearly feel Su Chen's pain—his body was being corroded by the Poison Body, and his black and gold spirit power even took on a faint purple hue, yet he still held her tightly, without the slightest intention of letting go.

"Brother Su Chen... I'm sorry... it's all my fault..." Medical Immortal's tears streamed down. She hugged Su Chen's waist tightly, burying her face in his chest. "I'm so scared... scared that I won't be able to control the Poison Body and will hurt you and the Sisters..."

"Fool, this isn't your fault." Su Chen lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead, his breath weak but firm. "Your Poison Body is not a curse; it is the strongest power. Trust me, I will help you completely master it and make it a weapon to protect yourself and protect us."

The surrounding Heroines held their breath. Karin held a healing potion, ready to step forward at any time; Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone at maximum intensity, amplifying Su Chen's spirit power and defense; Zhu Zhuqing and Kushina watched the surroundings vigilantly to prevent the Poison Mist from spreading and affecting others, while also guarding against possible sneak attacks; Xiao Xun Er's exotic fire and Yun Yun's Wind Blade formed a barrier to block the leakage of the Poison Mist; Xiao Wu, Zi Yan, Hanabi, and Qing Lin watched the embracing pair with worry.

I don't know how much time passed, but the purple Poison Mist around Medical Immortal gradually receded. The power of the Calamity Poison Body was successfully suppressed by the God-Defying Power and was no longer violent. Su Chen released her, his face as pale as paper, with black blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, yet he still smiled and said, "It's fine now, Medical Immortal, you are safe."

"Brother Su Chen!" Seeing his weak state, Medical Immortal cried out in heartache and threw herself into his arms. "How are you? It's all my fault; if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt!" She raised her head and kissed Su Chen's lips without hesitation, combining her pure Poison Body power with her Blood Contract Power and channeling it into his body to help him purify the residual toxins.

This kiss carried the salty taste of tears and a faint medicinal fragrance, yet it was incomparably hot and firm. Su Chen felt her intentions and responded to her, his God-Defying Power resonating with her power once more, accelerating the purification of the toxins in his body.

After a long while, their lips parted. Su Chen's complexion gradually regained a hint of color. Karin immediately stepped forward and fed the healing potion to his mouth. "Lord Su Chen, drink this! This is my specially made detox and healing potion; it can quickly restore your spirit power!"

Su Chen drank the potion and said gently to Medical Immortal, "Now you know, your Poison Body is not scary. As long as we work together, we can master it. Don't take risks alone in the future. No matter what happens, you must tell me. I will always protect you."

Medical Immortal nodded vigorously, tears still sliding down, but the corners of her mouth turned up. "Mm! Brother Su Chen, I'll listen to you! From now on, my poison will only be used for you and will only hurt your enemies!" She bit Su Chen's shoulder, binding her Blood Contract Power to his God-Defying Power completely. "From now on, I am your Poison Consort, sharing life and death, never to be separated!"

Su Chen chuckled and held her waist. "Good, my Poison Consort."

The other Heroines also gathered around, expressing their concern for Su Chen's injuries. Ning Rongrong stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. "Brother Su Chen, you are not allowed to take such risks again in the future. We will be worried!"

"Understood, I will be careful in the future." Su Chen smiled and comforted everyone.

The Poison Mist in the Poison Mist Valley gradually dispersed. Sunlight spilled through the leaves, illuminating the embracing figures. Medical Immortal leaned in Su Chen's arms, feeling his body temperature and protection, her heart filled with reliance and love. She knew that although this Poison Body runaway was dangerous, it had made her bond with Su Chen even deeper, and it had also allowed her to find her true home.

In the shadows of the Poison Mist Valley, a black figure quietly left—it was Xiao Ling, who had been tracking Su Chen. Seeing the scene of Su Chen sacrificing himself to suppress the Poison Body for Medical Immortal, a hint of viciousness and jealousy flashed in his eyes. "Su Chen, do you think you can win people's hearts like this? Wait until I find an opportunity; I will definitely tear you all to pieces!"

Su Chen sensed Xiao Ling's aura, his eyes turning a few degrees colder, but he did not pursue. He knew that Xiao Ling's death was not far off. Now, the most important thing was to help Medical Immortal completely master the Poison Body and then continue to plunder the resources of the Star Dou Secret Realm, making everyone stronger.
