243: Did you take your medicine?

"What?!"

Zi Ling suspected she had misheard. A dignified Golden Core True Person, wasting so much time just to make her a Concubine, and for a grand-Disciple at that?

What for? Just because she was beautiful?

'No! A Golden Core True Person would never be so shallow; he must have other motives!'

"You did not mishear!"

"As long as you agree to become Liu Xuan's Concubine, I will immediately announce that you are a member of our Red Pine Sect. Fan Yang will definitely not dare to come for revenge again!"

Xiao Changfeng displayed a look of disdain, "If you can give birth to a child for my grand-Disciple as soon as possible, helping you reclaim your Zi Family foundation, or even killing Fan Yang to avenge you, is not impossible."

Zi Ling turned her head to look aside. Liu Xuan did not know when he had run over to a seat and was slowly drinking tea.

Such an act showed no respect for a Golden Core True Person. Either he was stupid, or their relationship was close enough that there was no need to care about these vulgar formalities.

"Fine! This Junior will respectfully obey the Immortal Master's decree."

Xiao Changfeng had an attitude of 'if you don't agree, you die'. Did she have any other choice?

'Agree first, then act according to circumstances!'

'No matter what Xiao Changfeng is plotting, I must survive first.'

"That is excellent!"

Xiao Changfeng nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Xuan, "I leave this place to you. If anything happens, notify me using a communication Magical Artifact."

Liu Xuan waved his hand in a gesture of dismissing a subordinate, and Xiao Changfeng immediately vanished.

Zi Ling was stunned. Her gaze towards Liu Xuan became increasingly curious. Xiao Changfeng did not look like his Revered Master; it was more like he was his servant.

What kind of status could make a Golden Core True Person like Xiao Changfeng go to such lengths?

"Miss Zi, come over for a drink?"

Liu Xuan poured her a cup of tea and pushed it to the opposite side of the table.

Zi Ling slowly walked to the opposite side of Liu Xuan and sat down, finally carefully sizing up this legendary figure she had known of for a long time.

From when his Disciple Lu Ping first noticed this person, to the climax when Zi Lan achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Although they had never met in person, she had known of Liu Xuan for many years through various rumors.

"Hearing your name is not as good as meeting you. Talisman Master Liu is truly extraordinary!"

Other things aside, it was rumored that Liu Xuan was exceptionally handsome and had the temperament of a high-level Cultivator. On this point, Zi Ling felt there was no issue.

"Miss Zi is also extremely beautiful. The Immortal Master is even prettier than you looked in the movie!"

He had seen Zi Ling in Xu Bin's memories before, but other people's memories always had a layer of separation. Now, appreciating her at close range, there was more visual impact, plus a sense of her being a living person.

Zi Ling's robes were currently slightly dishevelled, and the high-and-mighty noble air on her face had weakened, replaced by a trace of panic and helplessness. This not only did not affect her beauty, but on the contrary, it added a unique flavor!

"Movie?"

"You have seen me?"

Zi Ling revealed a look of confusion.

"Hmm... You can understand it as something like an illusion. Miss Zi Ling is peerlessly beautiful, and I am particularly fond of beauty, so naturally, I have seen you."

After chatting for a while, feeling that the relationship had been cultivated enough, Liu Xuan stood up and said:

"The time is almost up. Miss Zi Ling, prepare yourself; we will get married in a moment!"

"In a moment?"

"Is it too rushed? Can you allow me to adapt for two days?"

"Is it rushed? Time is money. We Cultivators should cherish time even more; how can we delay?"

Liu Xuan called She Xiaorong over and immediately gave instructions to prepare for the wedding.

Because Zi Ling was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the wedding specifications were raised by another level.

The news quickly spread across the island: Liu Xuan was taking another Concubine! Before, it was his Concubine achieving a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and this time, he was directly marrying a female Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm as a Concubine!

Zi Lan, Senior Sister Xiao Ran, plus the current Zi Ling—the Liu Family alone had three Foundation Establishment Cultivators as Concubines; it was simply outrageous!

Not only did outsiders find it outrageous, but Liu Xuan's other women also found it outrageous.

At the beginning, many people only married Liu Xuan for a bit of Spirit Stone treatment. Who would have thought that the Liu Family would develop to this point?

Their peers were still working like cattle and horses for a bit of cultivation resources, while they were already free to use Spirit Stones, and their status and position were, to a certain extent, on par with Foundation Establishment Ancestors.

This fully proved one thing: many times, choices are more important than hard work!

...

Nighttime.

Bedroom.

The moonlight was hazy. The simple wedding ceremony had just ended. Zi Ling changed into red wedding dress and sat on the edge of the bed.

The wide hem of the dress spread out like flower petals. Zi Ling, dressed in full regalia, seemed to be glowing, her radiance surpassing the bright moon in the sky.

Bright and beautiful without being seductive. Such a beauty could not only be admired from afar but could also be played with; it was truly a great joy in life!

"I advise you best not to touch me!"

Just as Liu Xuan's hand touched the hair on Zi Ling's cheek, he heard her say coldly.

"Oh~" Liu Xuan's hand stopped where it was, "Is the young lady going back on her word?"

Zi Ling turned her head to look at Liu Xuan, suddenly smiling slyly, "Of course I will not go back on my word!"

"I forgot to tell you that the Cultivation Technique I practice, the Seven-Colored Origin Return Technique, is a top-tier poison technique, and my magic power carries a deadly poison."

Her provocative gaze leaned in front of Liu Xuan, less than a foot away face-to-face, "This kind of magic power has already permeated my entire body. If you touch me, you will die!!"

What an exquisite and beautiful face!

Even at such a close distance, one could not see a single flaw, not even a pore.

It was good enough that she was pretty, but she also had a quirky, triumphant little expression, fully maximizing her attractiveness. Liu Xuan kissed her directly.

"Woo~"

Zi Ling's eyes widened, her brain crashed.

A moment later, Liu Xuan licked his lips, "Didn't you say it was poisonous? Why do I only feel it's sweet?"

That's right! Liu Xuan only had Qi Refining cultivation, why was he not poisoned?

She had not been lying just now; the poison technique she practiced really had permeated her entire body. Ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators would feel uncomfortable staying near her for a long time, and even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be poisoned if they stayed together for a long time.

But Liu Xuan had kissed her directly, and even...

Why did he look completely fine?

The reason she had agreed to Xiao Changfeng's conditions so quickly was because she was certain that Liu Xuan could not touch her; being a Concubine was just a name.

"You... Did you take medicine?"

Zi Ling's pretty face revealed a trace of panic, looking at Liu Xuan and asking anxiously.

"Take medicine?" Liu Xuan shook his head, "That stuff I usually take afterwards!"

Zi Ling assumed that Liu Xuan had taken an antidote in advance, so she said with a solemn expression:

"The toxicity in my body is extremely special. Ordinary detoxifying Medicinal Pills can at most alleviate symptoms temporarily; the toxicity will still accumulate more and more in your body until it is incurable."

"Hurry up and check if your body is okay, otherwise it will be too late!"

Zi Ling's words were urgent, appearing as if she were thinking for Liu Xuan, but in reality, she was just worried that if something really happened to Liu Xuan, she would be blamed by Xiao Changfeng.

Whether Liu Xuan died or not did not matter. Given Xiao Changfeng's emphasis on Liu Xuan, it would be bad if she were made to be buried with him later.

"To die under the peony flower is romantic even as a ghost!"

"Ling'er is so concerned about me, why don't you... help me check?"
