Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me

Chapter 32: Woeful Poison Body's Disaster

--- Chapter 31 ---

Baek Ain and Lan Rou were "steadily." carried by the Heavenly Gryphon to Qingshan Town, 131 miles away from the magical beast mountain. And it took the magical beast known as the King of Sky less than one hour to reach this place.

"We are here." Lan Rou commented while looking down.

Qingshan Town is a small town near the magical beast forest. And people called it Magic Beast Town for that reason, inviting mercenary groups and rogues from the Northwest Region of the Jia Ma Empire. It's their resting place, after all.

'This place is around 1/5 the size of Wu Tan City.' Baek Ain thought, using Sixth Sense to pinpoint any strong cultivator. He only discovered three 2-Star Dou Masters. The rest are either Dou Disciples or people with no cultivation.

Baek Ain was disappointed but shook his head because he wouldn't experience the same problem as Xiao Yan. 'Imagine getting bullied by small fries...' He smiled a little.

"Let's resupply our daily necessities first."

"Also, check the restaurant. I'm tired of eating magical beast's meat and soup every goddamn day."

Lan Rou chuckled and responded, "Yeah. I am fed up with those foods."

Lan Rou used to eat meat jerky and water only on her mission, but living with Baek Ain changed her lifestyle and food preference. She couldn't help but enjoy his cooking.

Baek Ain ordered Heavenly Gryphon to rest on a nearby mountain. He and Lan Rou walked down to Qingshan Mountain, checking some shops until a commotion happened.

"THIS IS MINE! I DISCOVERED THIS MAP FIRST!"

"WHAT THE HELL, ARE YOU BLIND? I BOUGHT IT ALREADY!"

Two shouts echoed in the street, causing Baek Ain to frown.

He used Sixth Sense and saw two people fighting over an old-looking map. He scanned the map briefly and mumbled, "An inheritance, eh?"

"Interesting."

Tap!

Someone crashed into Baek Ain accidentally. It was a charming-looking lady in a pale white dress with long white hair.

"Sorry." She guiltily smiled while walking away from him.

Baek Ain's gaze swept across the lady's body before finally landing on a narrow waist wrapped by a green belt. Seeing that waist and inviting ass, amazement flashed in his hazel-gold eyes.

Baek Ain turned around and whispered, "Ah, I thought she would go by this time... To think I'd met her here."

"Little Fairy Doctor."

"Do you know her?" Lan Rou asked doubtfully.

"No?"

"Your face says otherwise, though."

"It's my first time meeting that lady, Rou."

Baek Ain recognized Little Fairy Doctor or Xiao Yi Xian because of three unique factors, Yao Men's memory as Alchemist Saint, Alchemist Instinct(S), and Poison Immunity.

[Ding! You have made contact with the "Woeful Poison Body."]

[Ding! You have resisted the poison aura]

After thinking for a while, Baek Ain couldn't waste such talent as Xiao Yi Xian in a place like Qingshan Town. Not to mention she would be used by the Hall of Souls at this point, making her life miserable.

Since Baek Ain shamed Xiao Yan in Wu Tan City's incident, the protagonist changed his course and went to the Jian Ma Academy alongside Gu Xun'er. Xiao Yan didn't meet Yun Yun, but Baek Ain did.

Xiao Yan should have met Xiao Yi Xian a month ago. However, Xiao Yan didn't because of Baek Ain's presence. Everything changed abruptly.

Well, this world is an alternative universe in the first place.

'Alicia. Put a tracker on Xiao Yi Xian and update me every hour.' Baek Ain commanded.

[Will do, host]

[Are you going to snatch her away from Xiao Yan~?] Alicia teased him.

'Snatch is misleading. I haven't done anything to her.'

[Sure, sure]

[You will become a Harem Protagonist at this point...]

'Oh no, anyway.'

[...]

Meanwhile, Lan Rou embedded the lady that caught Baek Ain's attention and placed it in her competitor list. She shook her head because this young man attracted women's attention like no tomorrow.

She thought Yun Yun was an accident, but now?

'Ain, something about your charm is troublesome.' She thought while sighing to herself.

"Let's go."

She dragged Baek Ain to the nearest shop and bought food there. They rested for today and enjoyed Qingshan Town despite the weird gazes people gave them.

A group of men tried to stop Lan Rou and snatch her from Baek Ain, only to get beaten by her a second later. Those poor men got their balls kicked by Lan Rou.

Rip, no descendant.

The news about Lan Rou has spread all over Qingshan Town, considering she beat those men in a crowded street. And just as expected, a shady-looking man approached them in the restaurant.

"Mm~!" Baek Ain ate his fried rice and watched the scene unfold.

"Hello, Lady." The shady-looking man stepped up. "My name is Mu She. I'm the leader of Wolf Head Mercenary."

"I heard some of my subordinates caused a problem. Why don't we settle it down peacefully?"

"Scram." Lan Rou didn't even bother to see Mu She and scooped Baek Ain's fried rice with her spoon.

Mu She's mouth twitched as he changed his attention to Baek Ain. "Young man, right here. Is it bothering you to hear a few of my explanations?"

Baek Ain chewed his food and answered, "Sorry, man."

"I don't have any spare money on me."

"I know life is hard, but I'm pretty sure the other restaurants give more donations." He continued, making Mu She look like a homeless man.

"Pfft." Lan Rou chuckled while slapping the table.

"Hahaha~!"

Her amused laughter filled the restaurant, causing Mu She's face to redden in anger. However, Mu She held back his annoyance because this young man's strength was unknown.

'My subordinate said this woman is around 4-Star Dou Master. That's two realms higher than mine, and I can't afford to offend her.' The leader of Wolf Head Mercenary thought while clenching his hand.

He walked away and planned something, not knowing Baek Ain had placed a tracker on him.

Baek Ain and Lan Rou finished their dinners, renting an inn room for tonight.

"Do you think he'd be brave enough to attack us?" Lan Rou questioned while lying on the bed.

Baek Ain shook his head and replied, "It's fifty, fifty."

"From our first encounter, the way he talks and moves are like a rat with a vicious personality. He's sneaky enough to use evil methods to attack you."

"No, He probably justified ambushing you for attacking his subordinate first."

Baek Ain looked at the window and added, "Unfortunately for him. The woman he was about to fight is Gale Demon herself."

[Ding! Yi Xian and Mu She met each other in the inn nearby] Alicia notified Baek Ain.

[Ding! You have triggered a quest]

[Name: Woeful Poison Body's Disaster]

[Objective: Prevent Xiao Yi Xian from going berserk(0/1)]

[Penalty: Qingshan Town's Demise, A Birth of Walking Disaster]

[Time Limit: 3 Hours]

[Reward: Yi Xian's affection +10% and 2x Senzu Bean]

[Do you want to accept the quest?]

[Yes/No]

BOOM!!

An intense Dou Qi eruption occurred near Baek Ain's inn, creating an ominous purple pillar. The atmosphere soon filled with poisonous gas and stunned everyone within fifty meters radius.

"Rou, take the civilians out of the area."

"Okay." Lan Rou nodded calmly.

Baek Ain frowned when seeing Xiao Yi Xian and mumbled, "I wonder what happened to her... Since no Xiao Yan is around and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group hasn't moved to search for the inheritance, she shouldn't have caused too much of a problem."

"And from her face. She's angry?"

"Why, though?" He pondered while jumping from roof to roof, approaching the destroyed area.
