Chapter 43 : Meeting Jasmine and Yun Che

"It's been a long time, Sister Qingyue," Yu Tian said, not having spoken with Yun Che before and shouldn't have known his name since he changed it after leaving the Xiao family.

"Hmm, who are you?" Yun Che asked, surprised by the unique way Yu Tian referred to him. "My name is Yun Che, not Sister Qingyue's husband."

"I see, Brother Yun Che, this is Yu Tian, the one who killed people from the Xiao clan," Yu Tian said with a smile, pointing to himself.

"Y-you, you're that little monster," Yun Che said in astonishment, not expecting to see the ruthless creature who killed people from the Xiao clan in such an innocent form.

"Brother Yun Che, it's audacious to refer to someone as a monster in their presence," Yu Tian said gently, his handsome face slightly wrinkling.

[A/N: You'll notice that Yu Tian's behavior sometimes becomes childish, but this is the influence of his Baby Golden Dragon heritage.]

"Haha, I apologize for insulting you, little brother Yu Tian," Yun Che quickly laughed dryly, fearing to anger the child and face the same fate as the people from the Xiao clan.

At this moment, a red light emitted from Yun Che's left hand, and Jasmine emerged, staring at Yu Tian in astonishment.

"Are you really Yu Tian?" Jasmine asked incredulously, as the one before her was clearly a dragon, but she remembered Yu Tian being human.

"Hello, Jasmine. It's been a long time, and it seems you've improved greatly after finding the Sky Poison Pearl," Yu Tian said, something that unnerved Yun Che, with a happy smile.

"What happened to you? How did you become a dragon when you were definitely human the last time I saw you?" Jasmine asked with disbelief as she examined Yu Tian from head to toe. "And how did you change your appearance like this?"

"Well, calm down, as I wasn't entirely human; I'm half human/half dragon and found a way to become a full dragon, although I'm a baby dragon," Yu Tian said, deciding to use this lie as he couldn't tell Jasmine the truth. "As for why you couldn't sense that I'm half dragon, it was one of my abilities that allowed me to completely hide the dragon aura."

After speaking, Yu Tian used True Invisibility and concealed his dragon aura, making him appear as a normal human, convincing Jasmine of his lie.

"I see, I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful ability," Jasmine nodded in satisfaction upon getting answers to her questions.

『J-jasmine, how does this person know about the Sky Poison Pearl? Should we kill him?』

Yun Che was extremely worried as he knew the consequences of others knowing he possessed the Sky Poison Pearl, having been chased by the entire continent in his past life because of it.

『Don't think about doing anything foolish, as the moment you try to do something, you'll be killed by that woman over there. Besides, there's no need to worry because if he wanted the Sky Poison Pearl, he would have killed you before we met, as he's the one who told me that you have the Sky Poison Pearl.』

"..." Jasmine could only look disdainfully at her foolish disciple, who only knew how to chase after girls.

"By the way, I heard from Yu Ya that you want to challenge the Phoenix Trial," Yu Tian said, turning his gaze to Yun Che. "If you want, I can give you 10 drops of Phoenix blood, but in return, I want the True Dragon Core you possess."

"..." Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, both Yun Che and Jasmine could only stare at him in shock as they didn't expect Yu Tian to know about the True Dragon Core.

"Yun Che, hand over the True Dragon Core to Yu Tian," Jasmine said, quickly recovering from her shock and not even asking how Yu Tian knew about the True Dragon Core.

"Fine..." Although he didn't want to part with the True Dragon Core, he couldn't say no to Jasmine as she was his teacher and the person who killed the Scarlet Dragon. Therefore, it was her right to decide what she wanted to do with the True Dragon Core.

Sighing, Yun Che took out the True Dragon Core and threw it to Yu Tian.

"Good choice..." Yu Tian nodded and took out a bottle containing ten drops of Phoenix blood, tossing it to Yun Che casually, as ordinary Phoenix blood wasn't very useful to him, and obtaining the True Dragon Core was better for him as it could increase his cultivation quickly.

"By the way, can I hold your hand for a moment?" Yu Tian asked, extending his hand to Jasmine, as he wanted to try something.

"Um, sure..." Despite her confusion, Jasmine placed her soft, small hand in Yu Tian's.

"..." Yu Tian firmly held Jasmine's hand, closed his eyes, and activated the Woeful Poison Body, attempting to absorb the Absolute God Slaying Poison, which was effective as he felt the poison leave Jasmine's hand and enter his body, transforming into profound strength.

"..." Seeing what was happening, Jasmine's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock as she tried to withdraw her hand with all her might, not wanting to see Yu Tian poison himself and die because of her.

"What are you doing, you fool? Do you want to die?" Jasmine shouted anxiously, trying to pull her hand back with all her strength.

"Don't worry, as there's no poison in this world that can do anything to me," Yu Tian said and let go of Jasmine's hand. "I wanted to help you get rid of the Absolute God Slaying Poison, but unfortunately, the absorption rate of the poison is too slow, and it seems allowing the Sky Poison Pearl to purify it would be more efficient."

Yu Tian could only shake his head in regret as the absorption rate of the poison was too slow due to it being deeply entrenched in Jasmine's soul, and the only way to purify this poison quickly was through direct contact like kissing or having sex, but he definitely couldn't do that.
