100,000-year Whale Jelly

After Xuan Zi left, Chi Yuan carried the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor and led Ji Lin and the other two to a hidden cave.

"Sister Lexuan, recover your Soul Power first. I'll help improve your physique later."

After watching Chi Yuan use her Mental Power to shield the entire cave, Ji Lin spoke to Zhang Lexuan.

"Mm, alright!"

Without the slightest guard up around the two of them, Zhang Lexuan sat down cross-legged and began meditating to recover her Soul Power.

She clearly trusted them deeply. Although this was only their second meeting, they had gotten along well the first time, and this time, they had even saved her and three others' lives.

Zhang Lexuan trusted Ji Lin and Chi Yuan greatly.

As Zhang Lexuan closed her eyes to recover her Soul Power, Ji Lin took out a lump of gel-like substance that glimmered with a dark golden light from his Storage Spirit Tool.

He gently cut off a small piece of the gelatinous substance with a spirit tool dagger, then put the rest back into his Storage Spirit Tool.

"Teacher Chi Yuan, you do it. This is 100,000-year Whale Jelly. With my cultivation, I can't refine it. Only you can."

Ji Lin handed the small piece of Whale Jelly to Chi Yuan.

This 100,000-year Whale Jelly was the ninth treasure Ji Lin had obtained from his utterly inconspicuous Treasure Chest System when he was nine years old.

Even Ji Lin had not used it yet. With his cultivation and physique, he could not withstand the energy contained within this 100,000-year Whale Jelly.

Just like the 100,000-year Gilded Fire Phoenix Left Arm Bone he had once extorted from a Fierce Beast, it could only gather dust in his Storage Spirit Tool for now.

Three hours later.

When Zhang Lexuan opened her eyes, her Soul Power had fully recovered to its peak state. Even the minor injuries she had suffered earlier had mostly healed.

"Sister Lexuan, you're awake. How do you feel?"

Ji Lin's face brightened when he saw Zhang Lexuan awaken.

"Mm. Thank you, Xiao Lin. Other than a few superficial wounds, I've fully recovered."

"That's great, Sister Lexuan. This is 100,000-year Whale Jelly. Hurry and refine it. That way, you'll be able to safely absorb that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Ji Lin took the refined 100,000-year Whale Jelly from Chi Yuan and handed it to Zhang Lexuan.

"This 100,000-year Whale Jelly! It's far too precious."

Looking at the Whale Jelly Ji Lin offered her, a trace of hesitation and uncertainty flashed across Zhang Lexuan's face.

"Take it, Sister Lexuan. Repay me once you become a Titled Douluo. Breaking through to Soul Douluo in your twenties, Sister Lexuan, means becoming a powerful Titled Douluo is only a matter of time. Just consider it an early investment on my part."

With a grin, Ji Lin took Zhang Lexuan's hand and placed the 100,000-year Whale Jelly into her palm.

"Xiao Lin, you saved my life and treat me so well. I don't even know how I'll ever repay you."

Zhang Lexuan looked at the 100,000-year Whale Jelly in her hand with a wry smile.

"Hahaha, if you're willing, Sister, you can repay me with yourself. I wouldn't mind."

Ji Lin teased Zhang Lexuan in a joking tone.

At those words, Zhang Lexuan burst into laughter and tapped Ji Lin's forehead with her index finger.

"You little thing, teasing your sister at such a young age. I wonder how many pretty little girls you'll lead astray once you grow up."

Zhang Lexuan took Ji Lin's words as nothing more than a joke and did not take them seriously.

"Alright, enough joking. Sister Lexuan, hurry and refine the Whale Jelly. I don't think the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor can hold on much longer."

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan had taken his words as a joke, Ji Lin's gaze flickered. He said no more and merely urged her to refine the Whale Jelly quickly.

Yet he quietly muttered to himself, I wasn't joking.

Watching Zhang Lexuan return to her spot, sit cross-legged, swallow the Whale Jelly, and begin refining it.

Bored, Ji Lin also sat cross-legged and began cultivating. Although he had yet to obtain his third Soul Ring, his cultivation could still increase. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well cultivate.

Just as Ji Lin immersed himself in cultivation, movement suddenly came from behind him. He thought Zhang Lexuan had already finished refining the Whale Jelly.

He quietly muttered to himself, She refined it that quickly?

Just as he was about to stand, a pair of flawless white arms wrapped around his neck from behind. At the same time, Ji Lin felt a soft sensation against his back.

Ji Lin opened his eyes in confusion and turned to look.

Zhang Lexuan was sprawled against his back, her face flushed red and her eyes unfocused. Her entire body was burning hot, and even her skin had turned pink.

Only then did Ji Lin suddenly remember that the original novel had mentioned a side effect of Whale Jelly. Whale Jelly was an extremely yang and potent tonic; if an ordinary adult man consumed it, it would have a certain aphrodisiac effect. Women were presumably no different.

And this was 100,000-year Whale Jelly. Its medicinal effect had to be incredibly potent. No wonder Zhang Lexuan had become like this.

"Sister Lexuan, Sister Lexuan, wake up! Teacher Chi Yuan, come help me!"

Ji Lin tried to stand, but he could not break free from Zhang Lexuan's entanglement. Like an octopus, Zhang Lexuan clung tightly to him and rubbed against him up and down.

How could a level 30 Little weakling resist a level 80 Soul Douluo? Ji Lin could only look helplessly toward Chi Yuan and ask her for help.

Chi Yuan stepped forward to inspect Zhang Lexuan, then shook her head. With a strange expression, she said to Ji Lin, "She's burning with desire right now. If she doesn't release it, not only will her body's foundation be damaged, even her brain will suffer irreversible harm. You're the only one who can save her now."

"Me? Damn it, even if I wanted to, it wouldn't work! I'm only nine years old! My heart is willing, but my body isn't!"

Ji Lin wailed in despair.

If he were twelve, given the physical development of a soul master, he might have been able to manage.

If he were twelve right now, he would have taken Zhang Lexuan right then and there.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be that. You just need to help her release it."

Chi Yuan's lips twitched. Her face reddened as she stammered.

Ever since she had secretly watched Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu being intimate last time, Chi Yuan had, out of curiosity, secretly collected some books on that subject.

So now, she was an experienced driver in theory but had no practical experience.

After Chi Yuan's reminder, Ji Lin understood as well. He lowered his head to look at his right hand, then felt Zhang Lexuan pressed against him as her body temperature rose higher and higher. Ji Lin raised his head and looked wordlessly at the sky, blurting out a curse.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Ji Lin had understood what she meant and seemed to have made up his mind.

Chi Yuan said nothing more. She patted her flushed cheeks, turned around, and carried the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor out of the cave. Considerately, she used her Mental Power to isolate the entire cave. Only when she could not hear a single sound from within did she stop and stand guard at the entrance.

Watching Chi Yuan's departing back, Ji Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Wait. Teacher Chi Yuan, come back! You can do it with your hand too! Teacher Chi Yuan, come back!"

But unfortunately, Chi Yuan had already isolated the cave with her Mental Power. She had even blocked off her own perception of the cave's interior. After all, she was still an unmarried young woman, and she had enough shame not to eavesdrop.

Receiving no response from Chi Yuan and seeing that she did not return, Ji Lin's face filled with despair.

Feeling Zhang Lexuan's movements grow increasingly intense and her body temperature gradually rise, Ji Lin gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.

He reached out his sinful hand toward Zhang Lexuan, whose eyes were unfocused.

"To hell with it. I'm going all in today. I just hope Sister Lexuan doesn't beat me to death after she wakes up."
