Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 62 A Succubus

Chen Li and Xiao Xianglin sat opposite each other in a café. "So what did you want to talk to me about, Miss Chief?"

"You don't have to call me that, you know?" Xiao Xianglin said with a shake of the head. "Mo Xie, do you really not want to join my bureau?"

"Why should I join the bureau?" Chen Li asked back as he smiled faintly.

Unlike other women, Xiao Xianglin didn't seem affected by Chen Li's natural charm, and her expression didn't even change one bit seeing his handsome face. After all, she is the possessor of superpower and has quite good mental strength.

Xiao Xianglin sighed. "Our country will be having sparring matches with other countries, and their younger generations are powerful, so I need additional personnel for that."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing that, Chen Li raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't surprised at that.

Xiao Xianglin then continued. "Moreover, if you join the bureau, we will give you full support and protect you, and you will also get a lot of resources."

Xiao Xianglin's offer piqued Chen Li's interest, but he immediately ignored it, for the resources he needed differed. As for protection, he certainly couldn't expect the bureau to protect him and his closest people, especially since people from those prominent families controlled the bureau.

"I'm not interested in your offer." Chen Li replied as he shook his head.

Xiao Xianglin raised her eyebrows; she didn't expect Chen Li to reject her offer. "But-"

"You don't need to say anything else; I have decided not to join the bureau." Chen Li interrupted Xiao Xianglin. "As for the sparring match, I'll think about that first. If I'm interested in participating, I'll come to the arena directly."

Xiao Huoli suddenly spoke to Chen Li suspiciously. [Try to scan this woman, Chen Li.]

'En' Chen Li nodded slightly. 'Scan Xiao Xianglin.'

'She's a succubus!? Chen Li was shocked in his heart after reading her status. 'No wonder she's so alluring and unaffected by my charm.'

[Hahaha! I had guessed she was a demon, but I didn't expect her to be a succubus. On top of that, she also has the Poison Profound Vein, one of the troublesome veins.] Xiao Huoli laughed heartily at that. [But alas, her fate is tragic. Her brain function continues to decline because of her mind construction technique, and her body also rots from within by the poison from her veins. If she doesn't get help soon, then she will surely die.]

Chen Li was shocked to hear Xiao Huoli's explanation; he looked at Xiao Xianglin pitifully as he felt bad for an alluring woman like her to die. 'Can you cure her?'

[Hehe, do you intend to take this woman as your woman?] Instead, Xiao Huoli teased Chen Li, leaving him speechless. [Moreover, this woman is beautiful and sexy and has a high status, so it would be great if she becomes one of your harem members.]

Chen Li smiled wryly at that but admitted that he was indeed attracted to Xiao Xianglin. However, he didn't intend to do anything or get close to her for now, especially since she was under the control of those prominent families, so she was also one of his enemies.

Xiao Huoli giggled and said to him. [Actually, it's easy to heal this woman. Once she starts cultivating, her body will improve quickly, for she can control the poison in her body. Moreover, you can also absorb the poison in her body, and you may be able to obtain poison elements from her poison.]

'Absorbing the poison in her body? How can I absorb the poison?' Chen Li asked in confusion. 'Are you certain I can obtain the poison element if I absorb her poison?'

Xiao Huoli replied with an amused laugh. [Of course, you must dual cultivate with her, and I will transfer the poison in her body to yours. As for whether you will obtain the poison element or not, I cannot say for sure, but you do have the possibility of obtaining it, thanks to your Divine Profound Veins.]

Chen Li choked on her words and was speechless in response, but he looked at Xiao Xianglin with interest and pity at the same time. He was interested in getting the poison element, which would be very useful for him against his enemies, but he also felt sorry for her condition.

Chen Li was at a loss to speak to Xiao Xianglin. Although he now regards her as his enemy, she has never done anything terrible to him, and she is also a good friend of his aunt, Chen Wei'er.

"Why are you looking at me with such pity?" Xiao Xianglin asked with a raised eyebrow.

Chen Li sighed softly and answered her. "Miss Chief, I really pity your condition."

"Hmm?" Xiao Xianglin was surprised to hear Chen Li's answer; she then raised her eyebrows and asked him again. "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Li supported his chin, looked into Xiao Xianglin's eyes thoughtfully, and answered her question. "Are you really not aware of your condition? Will you let your condition continue to deteriorate until you die?"

"What?" Xiao Xianglin exclaimed in shock after Chen Li said that, especially since no one knew her condition, including her best friend, Chen Wei'er. "How did you know about my condition?"

"May I see your hand?" Chen Li asked as he stretched out his hand to her.

Xiao Xianglin was hesitant to comply with his request and was still confused about how Chen Li could find out about her illness, but she finally sighed softly and placed her hand on his.

Chen Li then rolled up the sleeves of Xiao Xianglin's blazer and shirt at once, and he was shocked to see her skin was almost entirely blackish purple, for the poison in her body had spread practically all over her body. "Sigh! The poison has already spread to 80% of your body, right? With your current condition, you won't be able to live for more than five months."

Chen Li could tell that, for Xiao Huoli told him through his mind. Although she is an alchemist, she also has medical knowledge, even though her medical skills are not as good as Chen Meiyi's.

Xiao Xianglin was speechless in response to his question and kept looking at Chen Li in confusion. Soon, she took a deep breath, withdrew her hand, and asked him. "How do you know my condition to that extent? And can my condition be cured?"

Chen Li felt complicated about her, he wanted to save Xiao Xianglin, but she was the head of the bureau, and the bureau was one of his enemies.

After thinking for some time, Chen Li sighed heavily and answered Xiao Xianglin. "I have a method to heal and save your life, but you probably won't like it."

"Please tell me how to cure it, Mo Xie?" Xiao Xianglin asked expectantly, and hope for recovery began to well in her heart, especially since Chen Li was the only person who could clearly understand her condition; not even her best friend, a doctor, could understand her illness precisely. "As long as there is a method for me to be healthy as before, I will do anything for it."

"I will only cure you on one condition, Miss Chief." Xiao Xianglin looked at him with anticipation; Chen Li then grabbed her hand and rubbed it. "If you want me to heal you, you must be my woman."

Xiao Xianglin was stunned upon hearing that, for she did not expect Chen Li to put forward such a condition. Although she admits he is very handsome, she doesn't know him, and their age gap is too significant.

"You don't have to decide now; you can think about it first." Chen Li casually spoke and let go of Xiao Xianglin's hand; he stood up from his seat and spoke again. "Honestly, my method of healing you is a secret, and I will not use it on anyone other than my family. I put that condition on you since you are a stranger to me."

"But-"

"Miss Chief, you don't need to doubt my words." Chen Li interrupted Xiao Xianglin by shaking his head. "I dare to guarantee I can cure you and make you healthy again like before, so you can think about it well. If you want to live and be healthy, you can look for me through Xian'er, but you don't need to look for me if you want to die."

After saying that, Chen Li immediately left the place, leaving Xiao Xianglin lost in thought.

Minutes later, Xiao Xianglin sighed heavily and left the cafe, and she went straight to the hospital to see her best friend, who is a doctor.

Soon, Xiao Xianglin arrived at the hospital, but she was surprised when she entered her best friend's office, for Chen Wei'er was also inside.

Chen Wei'er kept thinking about her previous condition, so she decided to meet their best friend to ask about Xiao Xianglin's condition.

Meanwhile, a woman their age sighed heavily, looking at Xiao Xianglin, and she looked at her apologetically.

Chen Wei'er then stood up, grabbed Xiao Xianglin's shoulder, and asked seriously. "Why don't you want to tell me the truth? Yan Yanran just told me everything, and I didn't expect that your condition was that bad."
