Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

El caught Xiao Yi Xian, supporting her body with both hands, as if the girl was something very fragile.

Xiao Yi Xian's body was now in El's arms. Her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, embarrassment overwhelming her as she realized the distance between them was so close.

Her eyes were rounded, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.

El's embrace felt strange, strong yet gentle, leaving his unable to decide whether to be angry or grateful.

El, meanwhile, closed his eyes for a moment. He let out a long breath, trying to calm the sudden turmoil within his. However, his mind was not completely clear.

'There's something wrong with my body...' Being so close, the urge to mess with her body arose,' El thought, hjz forehead slightly furrowed due to her internal conflict. 'Even my body gives off a scent like an aroused person.'

El maintained an outward composure, but inside, she felt disturbed by the urge.

From a distance, Xiao Yan watched the interaction with a mixed expression.

Finally, Xiao Yan tapped his forehead with a finger, shook his head lightly, and let out a long breath.

"Hey," he said in a tone that was half annoyed yet not too serious. "Please... Do not make me feel like a mosquito incense left burning in the corner of the room."

"I understand that you guys look good together, but at least explain what is going on here? If I disturb your romantic moment, I will leave." said Xiao Yan firmly.

El, still hugging Xiao Yi Xian in a cautious manner, turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan.

El's face remained calm, with a slightly cold expression but no hostility.

El spoke in an even, clear, and self-controlled tone.

"Ji apologizes," El said, addressing himself in a formal style. "This situation may seem confusing and ambiguous. Originally, Ji only intended to help this woman."

Pausing for a moment, El's eyes looked directly at Xiao Yan. "However... this body suddenly took the initiative against Ji's will."

{N/A: remember, the Dao name or second name Yuri gave the MC was Ji Lan. Currently, the MC uses an Ancient Chinese accent, to communicate to others in the BTTH World, the MC is just willing to adapt and try new things, just like in Wuxia Novels}

El's tone sounded stern, like a soldier explaining the situation on the field, but there was no ill will visible behind his words.

Xiao Yan hearing that accent felt that El's background was somewhat unusual. But chose not to think about it and sighed again, feeling himself having to swallow the various questions that were still swirling in his head.

El took out the Star Crystal from under his shirt, a glittering artifact of translucent white color that exuded a mysterious aura.

As soon as the crystal was near Xiao Yi Xian, a soft white light spread out from it, enveloping the surroundings with a soothing warmth.

Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan, who were not prepared for this scene, could only be stunned. They felt a gentle energy enveloping them, like a warm embrace on a cold night.

Xiao Yi Xian, who initially still felt some pain in her ankle, found the pain slowly disappearing while being so close to the Star Crystal in El's hand.

A warm sensation permeated through her body, replacing the previously nagging pain.

El attentively released his hand grip, his movements gentle and careful. He let Xiao Yi Xian stand upright without support, making sure that the girl had completely recovered.

El's gaze was full of serenity, as if he wanted to ensure her comfort until the end.

"My leg... is healed?" Xiao Yi Xian said, her eyes sparkling with disbelief.

She tried taking slow steps, then a few small jumps, and everything felt perfect. There was no more pain or discomfort.

Meanwhile, El stood still, looking at Xiao Yi Xian with a flat expression. However, on closer inspection, there was a warmth hidden behind her eyes, like someone who was secretly satisfied to have helped Xiao Yi Xian.

In his heart, he muttered, "There is clearly something wrong with my body. Using a Star Crystal just to heal a sprained foot... I should have been wiser."

'Come to think of it, why did I use the Demon Slayer Mark?' thought El in surprise, covered in an icy expression.

However, looking at Xiao Yi Xian who seemed elated with her recovery, El did not want to say anything.

Only a small, barely visible smile graced the corner of her lips, and then he put the Star Crystal back into its place.

Xiao Yan on the other hand could only shake his head, feeling more and more like a mosquito incense in the corner of the room.

El let out a long sigh, and turned his head towards Xiao Yan. With a flat yet clear tone, he began to explain the events that happened from the beginning of the Copulating Ape's appearance, the battle, to the reason for his interaction with Xiao Yi Xian.

His explanation was brief yet detailed, creating a picture that was sufficient to explain the situation without any room for misunderstanding.

Xiao Yi Xian, who was standing by El's side, gave a small nod as a sign of confirming every word he said.

Although her face was calmer now, her mind was spinning fast. She looked at El out of the corner of her eye, her brows slightly furrowed in contemplation.

'This man...,' Xiao Yi Xian thought, feeling a subtle thump in her chest. 'My poison in my blood should have reacted when my blood entered his body.'

'But he is completely unaffected. Is he immune to my poison? Or... does she have the same constitution as me, Calamity Poison Body?'

That possibility filled her mind with speculation.

If El did have a way to deal with the poison from her body, Xiao Yi Xian could not help but feel a slowly growing sense of expectation.

"If he can do it, perhaps he is the key for me to control my body... or even recover." muttered Xiao Yi Xian in a low voice.

When Xiao Yi Xian recalled the warm sensation when El bit her finger, she felt her heartbeat beat faster.

The warm feeling Xiao Yi Xian had felt before was different, as if her venom was submissive and obedient to the foreign will that touched her.

Her face flushed slightly, but she quickly shook her head, trying to calm down.

El and Xiao Yan, who were busy discussing the explanation, were momentarily speechless at Xiao Yi Xian's gesture.

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xiao Yi Xian. "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head nervously, hiding her embarrassment behind a calm face. "Nothing. I was just thinking... about what happened earlier," she said quietly, putting on a serious expression again.

El stared at Xiao Yi Xian for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed before returning to continue his conversation with Xiao Yan, although curiosity towards Xiao Yi Xian's behavior was secretly arising in her mind.

El finished explaining everything after five minutes, but the atmosphere still felt a little awkward. When he and Xiao Yan were about to part ways and take their respective directions, Xiao Yi Xian's voice filled with irritation stopped him in his tracks.

"Where... are you going, pervert!" exclaimed Xiao Yi Xian, her facial expression showing a mixture of frustration and embarrassment.

She unhesitatingly pulled on El's hand, as if unwilling to let him leave so easily.

El looked at her with slightly raised eyebrows, not fully understanding the reason behind her actions.

"You want to leave this beautiful and fragile girl in the middle of the forest?" continued Xiao Yi Xian in a tone that sounded selfish yet spoiled. "Accompany me."
