Ye Luoli's Golden Glory

"Golden Prince... controls the power of metal? But I see you seem to use the power of gold more!"

Du Xifei looked at the brand new Xidu Mansion and nodded with satisfaction, a flicker of joy in her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh that this new Xidu Mansion was indeed more pleasing to the eye than the old one. However, she had some doubts about Jin Litong.

"Although I prefer to call it the power of gold, it's not actually that. It combines the powers of many different metals, and the gold color is merely a means to confuse the enemy."

Jin Litong shook his head slightly, denying Du Xifei's speculation. His voice was deep and powerful, and then he condensed a golden chair and sat elegantly at the stone table.

"I see, it seems you're really hiding something!" Du Xifei smiled slightly, secretly amazed. She didn't continue to ask, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

Du Xifei said softly: "The tea is ready, please have some!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender finger and pointed at the exquisite teacup on the table.

"Thanks!"

Jin Litong nodded slightly, raised the teacup on the table, and took a sip. The tea flowed down his throat, bringing a warm feeling. The bitterness was mixed with a hint of sweetness, making him feel very comfortable.

He savored it carefully and found that this tea was different from the tea brewed by Shui Qingli, each with its own unique flavor.

"This tea is indeed very unique."

Jin Litong put down the teacup and praised softly.

"As long as you like it!"

Du Xifei raised the corners of her face slightly, gently shook the teacup in her hand, and an intriguing smile appeared on her face.

"Hmm...you wouldn't poison me, would you?"

When Jin Litong saw Du Xifei's smile, he felt a bad feeling in his heart. He roughly checked his body and found nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I am the Poison Queen. From the moment you stepped into the Xidu Mansion, you may have been infected with poison."

Du Xifei put down the teacup slowly with a half-smile in her hand, then gracefully stretched out her hands and stared quietly at Jin Litong in front of her. Her eyes revealed a hint of cunning and mystery.

"Haha, it's okay. I'm the dignified Golden Prince. How could this little bit of poison possibly harm me? My golden power will devour all of these toxins. They simply can't survive in my body..."

Jin Litong said this with a look of disdain, but before he could finish his words, the teacup in his hand suddenly made a crisp "bang" and fell directly to the ground. Then, he felt a trance in his eyes, and his body involuntarily leaned back in the chair, unable to move at all. However, his perception of his surroundings became unusually clear.

"Alas, you are still too young and too confident. Did you know that when you transformed the Xidu Mansion, the golden power actually attracted a large amount of toxins into your body, and you were completely unaware of it."

Du Xifei sighed softly, slowly stood up, gently lifted Jin Litong's chin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gently stroked Jin Litong's cheek with her fingers.

She gently tapped Jin Litong's forehead, and an invisible force surged from her fingertips, sucking out the toxins hidden in Jin Litong's body bit by bit. As the toxins were sucked out, they gradually dissipated into the air and turned into nothingness.

"Perhaps it's because the golden power in your body is so dazzling that it covers up the weak presence of the toxin."

Hiss~ Why does this action look so familiar? It seems like the action I did to Bing Lixue at that time. As expected, there is retribution in karma. No one can escape it.

As the toxins in his body were absorbed out, Jin Litong gradually regained control of his body. He shook his heavy head, and his eyes regained their former brilliance.

"It's really... so embarrassing."

Jin Litong's mouth twitched and he said helplessly.

It was clearly an apology to others, but I ended up getting myself involved. Haha, I am such a 'genius'.

"I didn't expect that my golden power would carry hidden agendas and help external forces deal with me. I was careless."

Jin Litong said with a hint of self-mockery, shook his head slightly, and did not take this matter to heart. He continued to raise the teacup and drank the remaining tea.

"You better be more careful!"

Seeing Jin Litong's indifferent attitude, Du Xifei couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily.

"If I hadn't intervened in time, you would have become a cripple now."

She sat back on her throne, supporting her face with one hand, looking at Jin Litong with a smile, teasing him.

"Remember not to be so reckless next time, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can save you every time."

"Hahahaha, what's wrong with that?"

Jin Litong laughed heartily, as if he didn't take the danger seriously at all. He stood up from his chair and talked freely.

"It's just a little bit of poison. With my ability, this little problem won't bother me at all. What's more, I have a good friend like you by my side. What do I have to fear?"

When Du Xifei heard the word "friend", her eyes changed obviously. She looked a little lonely in an instant, but soon returned to normal. All this was not noticed by Jin Litong who turned around.

"Really? If you had such incredible abilities, how could you be beaten so badly by the Fire Lord? Metal and poison being friends is quite interesting."

Du Xifei's voice was soft and faint, but it made Jin Litong shudder all over. She rubbed her fingers lightly and looked at Jin Litong through the gap, with an unknown light flashing in her eyes. The second half of the sentence became weaker and Jin Litong did not hear it.

"There's nothing I can do about the Fire Lord. He's a powerful and renowned warrior. I've only been transformed for a few days, so my skills aren't as good as his. That's normal."

Jin Litong waved his hand and generously admitted that he was not as good as Huo Liaoye. After calculating with his fingers, he found that the time was almost up, so he bowed to Du Xifei.

"Given the time, the Golden Lion should be awake by now, so I won't nag you any further."

"Well, if you have time, you can come to my Xidu Mansion more often. Otherwise, it is usually deserted."

Du Xifei supported her cheek with one hand and did not stand up. Her voice came softly.

"Of course. If Madam Du has nothing to do, you can come and visit my treasure cave."

Jin Litong nodded slightly, turned around and left without any delay.

Although he wanted to stay for a while, with Huo Liaoye as a time bomb, he was afraid that it would cause trouble to others, so he had to leave.

"I've never heard of a treasure cave, but I'll have a place to go in the future. There's an antidote for natural poisons, but few people are willing to get close."

After Jin Litong left, Du Xifei was unable to recover for a long time and kept muttering.

"Yellow, gold, lion!"

Jin Litong was furious as soon as he left Xidu Mansion. He saw the Golden Lion playing with butterflies like a pug, reciting every word and feeling confused.

The golden lion is just as violent as himself, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself. No creature would be willing to play with him.
