Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber

"I'm full..."

Upon hearing that Dai Weisi had obtained an External Soul Bone, Zhu Zhuqing set down her bowl and chopsticks, left the dining hall with a dejected expression, and returned to her room to cultivate.

In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly envied her sister greatly. Not only was her fiancé powerful, but his luck was also incredibly good. Most importantly, he was so damn handsome! Comparing people really could make one furious!

By contrast, her own fiancé had left her without saying a word, turning her into the laughingstock of the entire Zhu Family.

The moment she left the dining hall, it felt as though the god of death was already beckoning to her. Could her future truly contain nothing but a dead end?

"Zhuqing, sigh..."

After Zhu Zhuqing left, Zhu Caiyun let out a pained sigh. Zhu Zhuqing was her biological daughter too, and watching her two daughters kill each other with her own eyes naturally pained her deeply.

Unfortunately, these were rules the royal family had followed since ancient times. She was merely an ordinary woman; even if she wished to change them, she lacked the power to do so.

Seeing the sorrow on his wife's face, Zhu Tianyu gently patted Zhu Caiyun's fragrant shoulder, silently comforting her.

He was merely a level seventy-three Agility Attack System Soul Saint. He had no power at all to change the rules of the Star Luo Royal Family.

In the end, he could only turn to Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi and say helplessly, "Zhuyun, I don't know whether saying this will make you think I'm favoring your younger sister, but you're the elder sister. If you truly become the Crown Princess in the future... treat your sister better."

"Dad, Mom..." Zhu Zhuyun fell silent. This was the first time she had seen such expressions on her parents' faces.

However, Dai Weisi, who stood beside her, smiled and agreed. "Don't worry, Uncle. I'll definitely treat little sister Zhuqing better in the future. No matter what, we're family!"

"Mm, Weisi, I believe you!" Zhu Tianyu forced out a faint smile.

The group then lowered their heads and continued eating. Before long, the servants brought over a huge platter of Stir-fried Soft Bone Rabbit Meat, commonly known as stir-fried Xiao Wu.

After dinner, Dai Weisi did not stay the night and instead returned to his residence.

"First Prince, please rest early and take care of your health." With that, Li Hu prepared to leave, but Dai Weisi stopped him.

"Wait, Uncle Li. I need you to do something for me."

Li Hu bowed. "Please give your orders, First Prince."

"...Go find me some Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber." After hesitating for a long time, Dai Weisi finally said it.

"Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber? First Prince, what do you need that for? Could it be..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop right there! It's not what you think!"

Before Li Hu could finish, Dai Weisi hurriedly raised a hand to stop him, afraid that the man would start spouting nonsense. He then explained with a serious expression.

"I read in an ancient text that whale rubber can improve one's physique and strengthen the bones, muscles, and meridians. It's an exceedingly rare treasure.

"It is highly nourishing for both ordinary people and soul masters alike. Whale rubber is divided into Hundred Year Whale Rubber, Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. I want to try consuming Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. Perhaps it can improve my aptitude.

"Uncle Li, you know that compared to my foolish younger brother, my aptitude isn't all that good."

So-called "whale rubber" was actually a gelatinous substance found in the brains of whale-type soul beasts.

It truly was a good thing, but on the current Douluo Continent, no one had discovered its true effects. It circulated only in the noble market because it had obvious aphrodisiac properties.

Such a treasure was actually being used merely as Viagra. What a waste!

"Understood. First Prince, you need not say more. I understand everything! I'll get right to it. Within half an hour, I'll definitely deliver the finest Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber into your hands!"

After saying that, Li Hu gave him an expression that said, I understand, then ran out of the residence. Dai Weisi was speechless. You understand my ass!

Even so, he still added, "Buy more! The more, the better!"

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Li Hu returned with more than a dozen milky-white pieces of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.

"First Prince, I visited several nearby shops and bought a total of fifteen pieces of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. Most of the other shops had already closed. If we go during the day, we'll definitely be able to buy more Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber."

Taking the dozen or so pale pieces of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, Dai Weisi nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. They really are Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and they were produced by whale-type soul beasts with cultivation of at least twenty thousand years. Uncle Li, you did very well. You've worked hard!"

"Not at all, not at all. Serving the First Prince, even if I had to climb mountains of blades or cross seas of fire, I would have no complaints!"

Dai Weisi nodded approvingly at this loyal subordinate. Then, looking at the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in his hand, he suddenly smiled teasingly.

"Uncle Li, to be honest, I'm quite curious. Star Luo City is so large—how did you find so much Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber for me in such a short time? As you said, many shops had already closed.

"Unless you often bought whale rubber and were very familiar with these shops, it should have been impossible to buy so much Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in such a short time!"

"Uh..."

Li Hu's old face reddened at those words. What could he say? Was he supposed to admit that he was a regular customer at those shops?

Seeing Li Hu's embarrassed expression, Dai Weisi could not help teasing him. "It seems Uncle Li is still going strong despite his age!"

"Cough, cough. Your Highness is overthinking it... As Your Highness's steward, I naturally must keep my eyes and ears open at all times. If I didn't even understand the layout of Star Luo City, how would I dare serve the First Prince?"

"Hehe, alright, alright. It's getting late, Uncle Li. You should go rest too. Since you often go...

"Cough, cough. Since you know Star Luo City's layout so well, I'll have to trouble you over the next few days to buy up all the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in Star Luo City. Also buy some Thousand Year Whale Rubber of decent quality. Forget the Hundred Year Whale Rubber."

"Yes, I obey." With that, Li Hu slowly withdrew from Dai Weisi's room.

Dai Weisi then began consuming the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. He lit a brazier and placed the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber over it to roast.

Once it had been roasted enough, he stuffed it into his mouth in large bites.

Bleurgh!

"Fuck, this tastes awful!"

A nauseating fishy stench lingered in his mouth, but Dai Weisi could not bear to spit it out. He chewed hard twice before hurriedly swallowing it.

Before long, Dai Weisi had consumed an entire piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber. The instant he swallowed it, a vast, scorching energy, like magma, forcefully surged into his body.

The immense energy filled his Dantian, meridians, internal organs, limbs, bones, and even every cell, as though it wanted to burst him apart completely.

At that moment, Dai Weisi only felt his blood and qi roiling, his mouth parched and tongue dry, while his body burned unbearably. Down below, a dragon soared to the heavens!

Every inch of his skin turned crimson from his surging blood and qi, as though he had lost twenty games in a row and was completely raging.

It made him want nothing more than to summon the maids from the residence and vent properly.

But in the end, Dai Weisi restrained himself and stopped thinking about such messy things.

He sat cross-legged and silently practiced the Meditation Technique, refining that scorching energy.
