Their strength had improved, and when they looked at Raiden Shogun again, they no longer felt fear. Their faces were filled with worship and gratitude.

"General! Is there any food left? I want some! I want to eat a whole huge pot!!"

Yu Yuanzhen desperately wanted to grow stronger.

It was just a bit of stomach discomfort. He felt he could endure it.

Raiden Shogun's expression softened slightly. Just as she was about to shake her head, Starry Sky hurried forward, pulled out a bucket of purple soup, and said:

"Back in the kitchen, I took out all the food you made, General. Let them have this first."

Raiden Shogun did not suspect anything. After all, she had indeed made a lot in the kitchen.

Although everything had exploded, there was still some left in the exploded pot base.

Perhaps this was what remained of the pot base?

In truth, this was food his wife, Underworld, had made back at the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

More than half of it was laxatives.

Yu Yuanzhen had actually begged the General to cook. How could Starry Sky let the General take to the skies again in the future?

So, Starry Sky used the same method he had used on the people of the Tian Dou Imperial Palace on Yu Yuanzhen.

Let Yu Yuanzhen spend days and nights on the toilet, only to discover that his Soul Power had not improved in the slightest. That would be interesting.

"Hahahaha! So much! Once I finish all this, when I wake up next time, I'll definitely become a level ninety-six peak Douluo!"

The moment Yu Yuanzhen saw that familiar color, he burst into delighted laughter!

He quickly hugged the huge bucket, opened his mouth wide, and gulped it down into his stomach in one breath.

He had thought he would pass out.

But after finishing it, he felt as though nothing had happened?

His face was full of confusion.

"Huh? It actually tastes pretty good. Why haven't any benefits appeared? Has it not taken effect yet?"

Yu Yuanzhen could not understand it.

Raiden Shogun blinked, feeling secretly pleased.

It tasted good?

Exactly. The food she made was obviously delicious.

"W-what about ours? Give us some too. General... General!"

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen receive such a wonderful favor, Poison Douluo looked at Raiden Shogun with an eager expression.

Starry Sky smiled faintly and took out another bucket for him.

Starry Sky figured the laxatives would not be that harmful to a Titled Douluo.

By the time Poison Douluo felt like he could no longer hold it in, he would have already brought them all into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Poison Douluo was also overjoyed. Following Yu Yuanzhen's example, he downed it in one gulp.

His eyes brimmed with anticipation at the thought of breaking through to become a peak Douluo.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan also eagerly crowded over.

Starry Sky did not give them as much, only a large bowl each.

Even so, the two of them were so excited they practically wanted to fly.

Then Starry Sky found Poison Douluo and said:

"Old Poison, don't you have a valley full of medicinal herbs, with an ice-and-fire pool inside? The General wants to cook there. Hurry and take us there."

Poison Douluo's heart tightened. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was his greatest secret.

However, Poison Douluo did not hide it.

Because he had come to understand just how powerful Raiden Shogun was.

If Raiden Shogun wanted to take it by force, he would have to hand it over anyway.

Besides, he wanted to curry favor with Raiden Shogun, so that he could get more food from her in the future.

He licked his lips and prepared to lead them there.

Yu Yuanzhen followed as well.

Raiden Shogun was going to cook again. Of course he had to stay by her side. He had decided that once they got there, he would scrub the pots for Raiden Shogun.

That way, he could eat more too.

This made Yu Yuanzhen regretful beyond measure.

Five or six years ago, he had eaten Raiden Shogun's cooking before.

If he had known then that her food had such benefits, he would never have run away, even if it killed him.

Otherwise, after five or six years of being transformed by Raiden Shogun's cooking, he would have long since become the strongest in this world!

It was rather regrettable now that Poison Douluo knew this secret as well.

Led by Poison Douluo, they soon arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

They got there so quickly that the laxatives Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had taken had not even kicked in yet.

Looking at this place, which resembled a fairyland, even Yu Yuanzhen could not help but shudder as he said:

"Damn... old poisoner, how did you find a place like this?"

"This will belong to Her Excellency the Shogun from now on. Don't touch Her Excellency's things carelessly when you come in."

Poison Douluo gave a cold snort.

"Huh? Isn't this chrysanthemum Ju Guan's martial soul?"

Yu Yuanzhen looked around and quickly spotted a golden chrysanthemum.

It was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

"This is... Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul?" Poison Douluo looked utterly baffled as well.

"Of course! Old poisoner, don't tell me you can't even recognize Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul."

Yu Yuanzhen mocked him softly, then clicked his tongue and said:

"Damn... for Chrysanthemum Douluo to cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo, the quality of his martial soul must be extraordinary. This chrysanthemum must be worth a fortune. Since it can grow alongside this chrysanthemum, the other plants here must be much the same. Old poisoner, you had such a treasure land, yet not a single word of it ever got out. You kept it well guarded!"

The corner of Poison Douluo's mouth twitched. He truly had no idea what any of these things were.

He merely gave a cold laugh and said nothing.

He would just let them think he had disdained to sell these immortal herbs for money.

"So this is the Mandarin Duck Hotpot?" Raiden Shogun fell into thought as she looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

What food should she use to hotpot in it?

She sensed quite a few spirit beasts outside.

So, with a flash of her figure, Raiden Shogun went out to catch spirit beasts.

Starry Sky also arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

This was a place one absolutely had to visit after transmigrating to Douluo Continent.

Starry Sky wandered around inside and quickly plucked several immortal herbs.

Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Heartbroken Yearning, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and more...

Some were for his own use, while others could be given to others.

"Qing, this is Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. You should use it. Its medicinal effects can nourish the tendons and bones, allowing qi to flow through the eight extraordinary meridians."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the translucent white herb Starry Sky handed her—the pristine Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, as immaculate as a green lotus and white lotus root—and her face reddened.

It was so beautiful.

Then, Starry Sky gave the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was a spirit beast, so she could immediately sense the value of this immortal herb.

She accepted it with a delighted expression.

"Huh? Where are Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Qin Ming?"

After all, everyone present should get a share.

Starry Sky was not greedy.

He planned to give Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan one Earth Dragon Golden Melon each.

Qin Ming's martial soul, the Blazing Skywolf, was fire-attributed, so the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower suited him perfectly.

Yet the three of them were nowhere to be seen.

After thinking about it, Starry Sky knew what had happened.

The laxatives they had taken had probably kicked in.

They had likely gone somewhere no outsiders could see them and were now having an explosive bout of diarrhea!

They really had it rough.

"Little brother, do you know the effects of these herbs?"

Starry Sky casually called Raiden Shogun his wife, so Poison Douluo was also very polite toward him.

"I know a little, I suppose." Starry Sky had only recognized these immortal herbs through a few descriptions from the original work.

Seeing how happy Starry Sky was to obtain these immortal herbs, despite having a powerful queen behind him, made Poison Douluo's heart ache terribly.

If he had known what these things were for earlier, he would have become a god ages ago!
