A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 405: Nonsense

Li Xuanxiao quickly collected the venom.

However, the ancient serpent god's poison rapidly corroded through Li Xuanxiao's container.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Li Xuanxiao swiftly replaced the container.

This particular container was one Li Xuanxiao had specially crafted during his time at Mount Shushan.

The container absorbed the ancient serpent god's venom.

Li Xuanxiao observed the serpent god's poison.

The venom seemed drawn by some mysterious force, gradually converging together to form a slowly rotating mass of eerie light.

This luminous mass resembled living flesh, pulsating on its own as if possessing its own heartbeat and breath.

As time passed, the glowing mass began to transform.

Its colors grew increasingly brilliant and diverse, like nebulae being crushed and then kneaded back together.

Various hues interwove and merged, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Within this radiant display, profound purples danced like auroras while sinister greens emitted an eerie glow......

Li Xuanxiao had never encountered such poison before.

Well-versed in toxic arts, he was naturally captivated at first sight.

The corner of Li Xuanxiao's eye twitched slightly - such monstrous venom.

This was truly his first time witnessing something like this.

If not for combining the two poison manuals,

he would never have been able to neutralize this toxin in his lifetime.

Even so, Li Xuanxiao estimated that Di Nü Feng wouldn't recover completely anytime soon.

Li Xuanxiao extended his hand, attempting to probe the poison with his spiritual sense, but the moment his consciousness touched it,

the toxin immediately feedback into his spiritual sense. Li Xuanxiao swiftly severed the connection, barely avoiding being drawn in.

"Hah!"

Li Xuanxiao exhaled sharply.

Li Xuanxiao felt some fear, but even more excitement.

With poison like this, he could even hunt down Fusion Transcension stage cultivators.

Even if he encountered Fusion Transcension experts, he wouldn't need to worry.

Li Xuanxiao glanced at Di Nü Feng who was still healing, then slowly sat down himself.

He clutched his chest.

".........."

"Has it ended?"

The various forces lingering around Snowveil Commerce finally noticed after Li Xuanxiao withdrew his illusions.

The pill refining should be completed by now.

But exactly what kind of pill the other party had refined remained a matter of debate.

No one could say for certain.

Caishen rushed to find Li Xuanxiao immediately after he finished refining the pill.

However, Li Xuanxiao's courtyard was already sealed off.

Caishen found herself shut out.

She gazed from afar at the courtyard where Li Xuanxiao resided and couldn't help but sigh.

Turning around, she encountered her father.

Miao Zhishun looked at his daughter's demeanor and couldn't suppress a sigh.

"My child has truly grown up - found a man and forgotten her father."

"Father!" A blush crept across Caishen's face.

"Don't be so impatient. A young lady should maintain some restraint."

Miao Zhishun said.

Caishen nodded slightly.

Miao Zhishun continued, "He just finished refining pills. Wait until he's recovered a bit before seeking him out. Don't be so hasty."

"I know," Caishen said.

Miao Zhishun patted his daughter's shoulder. "This man is very reliable. If he marries into our family, I would feel at ease."

Caishen nodded shyly again.

"............"

Thus, several more days passed.

These few short days were completely insufficient for Li Xuanxiao's recovery.

However, Miao Zhishun repeatedly sent people to urge him.

This matter had incurred a significant debt to Snowveil Commerce.

Li Xuanxiao couldn't bring himself to refuse again, and he didn't want others to notice that pill refining had consumed his lifespan, leaving him so weakened.

Therefore, he restrained his aura and went to find Miao Zhishun.

Miao Zhishun awaited Li Xuanxiao in the garden.

Li Xuanxiao had visited the Miao family garden before.

But only from a distance.

Now walking inside, he was somewhat surprised by the rare treasures within the garden.

Tree canopies flowed with luminous liquid, while lotuses in the pond exhaled spiritual energy mist with each breath......

The pond bottom even housed a jade dragon of considerable quality.

Sensing an unfamiliar presence, it suddenly opened its eyes and surged from the water to stare at Li Xuanxiao.

Li Xuanxiao smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, calmly meeting its gaze.

The dragon exhaled a misty breath, appearing ready to pounce on Li Xuanxiao at any moment. Content originally comes from novel(ꜰ)ire.net

A poison packet dropped from Li Xuanxiao's sleeve.

He gripped the poison packet while staring at the dragon.

At that moment, a call came from the distance.

"Xiao Xia!"

With this call, the dragon retreated beneath the water surface.

Li Xuanxiao looked toward the pond's center where a pavilion stood.

As water rippled, the dragon appeared beside the pond.

"Come over," Miao Zhishun's voice sounded.

Li Xuanxiao glanced down at the dragon beneath the pond, tentatively extending his foot to step onto the dragon's protruding spine.

The dragon swam toward the pavilion.

Forget ordinary families - even organizations more powerful than Snowveil Commerce lacked the capability to raise a dragon.

This sufficiently demonstrated Snowveil Commerce's financial power.

"Sit!"

Miao Zhishun poured Li Xuanxiao a cup of tea.

"This is—"

Li Xuanxiao sniffed, took a sip of tea, and praised:

"Truly excellent tea!"

"Pill refining succeeded?" Miao Zhishun asked casually.

Li Xuanxiao nodded. "Thanks to Uncle Miao's support and assistance, I'm immensely grateful. I will repay this kindness."

"Let's not speak of such things. We'll be family soon anyway."

Family?

Li Xuanxiao blinked, not understanding why Miao Zhishun would suddenly use such terminology?

But upon second thought, this might simply be the other party's way of expressing familiarity.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Cangzhou's local customs - the other party must have their reasons for speaking this way.

"I will be taking my leave soon. I've troubled Uncle Miao for many days," Li Xuanxiao said again.

"Leave? What leave? You'll stay here from now on," Miao Zhishun waved his hand.

Li Xuanxiao assumed the other party valued his pill refining skills and smiled faintly.

"Uncle Miao, rest assured. Before departing, I will definitely refine sufficient alchemy pills for Snowveil Commerce."

Unexpectedly, Miao Zhishun continued waving his hand. "What's the hurry about refining pills? You should rest properly recently. Look how haggard you've become from pill refining."

Li Xuanxiao narrowed his eyes slightly while watching Miao Zhishun, internally speculating.

The other party wasn't satisfied and wanted to keep him permanently at Snowveil Commerce.

Therefore, Li Xuanxiao didn't refuse immediately.

To avoid tearing apart all pretense of cordiality and provoking the other party to action.

Li Xuanxiao watched Miao Zhishun, waiting for his next words.

"Recover your health properly," Miao Zhishun said meaningfully. "I've sent some tonics to your room."

"Thank you, Uncle Miao."
