The plan to change identities ultimately failed.
A single sentence from the Staff—"Please present your Soul Master handbook"—put a stop to Zhu Zhuqing's idea of exploiting a bug.
The Young Girl could only casually say, "I lost it," before leaving the Great Soul Arena.
"What are you planning to do next?"
Bai Lu asked while studying her martial soul and Soul Rings.
"Find a suitable place to cultivate."
Zhu Zhuqing strolled down the street, her gaze wandering between pedestrians and street vendors.
"So boring?"
Bai Lu asked with a smile, "It's rare to have some time off. Aren't you going to do something you enjoy to relax?"
"Aren't I about to?"
Zhu Zhuqing's cool and detached face was filled with confusion.
Wasn't cultivating and growing stronger itself something that brought joy to both body and mind, full of accomplishment?
Is this the legendary Top Student who relaxes by doing two sets of practice questions?
Bai Lu clicked his tongue in amazement and directly instructed her:
"Go take a look around the street. See whether any shops sell Whale Rubber."
"Whale Rubber? What good stuff is that?"
As Zhu Zhuqing asked in her mind, she strode toward the shops.
"It really is good stuff."
Bai Lu said bluntly, "An aphrodisiac."
"Oh, an aphrodisiac... Mm?!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then suddenly stopped short, instantly becoming alert.
I wanted to cultivate and grow stronger, yet he was telling me to buy an aphrodisiac?
No, was that really right?
"Who cares whether it's right or not? As long as it makes you stronger, isn't that enough?"
Bai Lu found the Young Girl's reaction rather strange.
"Who wants to get stronger like that?!"
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, the tips of her ears slightly reddened.
She... she was still so young. How could she use that kind of thing?
Inappropriate! Completely inappropriate!
"Not young. Really not young."
Bai Lu glanced at the Young Girl's figure and said seriously:
"You can use it now. It'll truly be inappropriate once you grow up more."
"How is that appropriate at all?!"
Zhu Zhuqing was overcome with Shame and Anger, unable to stop herself from asking:
"You're already a Hundred Thousand Year Big Brain Tiger who sacrificed himself and turned into a spiritual soul body. Even if you're desperate, there should be limits, right? How can you think about that kind of thing every day?"
"What kind of thing?"
"Didn't I just want you to use Whale Rubber Body Refining to lay the foundation for obtaining a high-age Fourth Soul Ring?"
"What did I do?"
Bai Lu felt deeply wronged.
Family, who understands this?
He wanted to help someone grow stronger, yet somehow he was the one in the wrong!
"Whale Rubber... body refining?"
The Young Girl's eyes instantly cleared. "Oh, so it's for body refining."
"What else would it be?"
Bai Lu folded his arms across his chest and asked smugly:
"Tell me, then. What kind of thing were you thinking of?"
"Body refining... Mm! It's body refining too!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of certainty.
She wanted to improve so badly, so of course she wanted to use Whale Rubber for body refining too!
Mm, that's right! That was exactly it!
"Oh~~~ I believe you!"
Bai Lu drew out his words and said teasingly:
"Little Kitten really is pure-minded, always focused on getting stronger!"
"You... it's good that you know!"
Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression stiffened.
She felt that Bai Lu was teasing her, but she had no proof!
Still, she could not figure something out—
"Why do you know that Whale Rubber can refine the body?"
She thought to herself that Bai Lu was not even a Soul Beast from a coastal region!
"I happened to see it in Ancient Books."
Bai Lu said casually.
"Ancient Books?"
The Young Girl asked strangely, "Aren't you a Soul Beast? You've read Ancient Books too?"
"What's so surprising about that? I wanted Humanoid Transformation and loved learning. Is that not allowed?"
"Fine!"
What else could Zhu Zhuqing say? Buy it, then!
Not only would she buy it, she would buy the best! The strongest! The fiercest!
However, things did not go as she wished...
"Sorry, but the highest-grade Whale Rubber we have right now is only Ten-Year Whale Rubber."
The Shopkeeper looked at the Young Girl who had entered and immediately asked for Thousand-Year Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber, thinking to himself:
Are Female Soul Masters these days really so repressed at such a young age?
Most people used Ten-Year ones, and even Hundred-Year ones were rare.
Starting right off with Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand Year ones—you really don't value male Soul Masters' lives, do you?
"Only Ten-Year?"
Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her brows slightly and asked in her mind, "Is Ten-Year Whale Rubber useful?"
"It is... as an aphrodisiac."
Bai Lu said speechlessly, "Do you have no idea what your constitution is like?"
"Your body has been modified by a whole bunch of Soul Bones. At minimum, Hundred-Year or Thousand-Year Whale Rubber will have an effect."
Zhu Zhuqing directly asked the Shopkeeper, "May I ask where high-age Whale Rubber is sold?"
"Go check Seven Treasure Pavilion. They might have some there."
The Shopkeeper pointed her in a direction:
"But if you truly want to buy high-age Whale Rubber, I suggest either going to a coastal city or a major city."
"Thank you!"
Zhu Zhuqing thanked him, then headed straight for Seven Treasure Pavilion.
Seven Treasure Pavilion, as its name suggested, was an industry of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, found in cities all across the continent.
"Hello, how may I help you?"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had an extraordinary bearing, the Shopkeeper took the initiative to approach her.
"Do you have high-age Whale Rubber?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked directly.
"Whale Rubber? Of course we do."
The Shopkeeper Was Startled for a Moment before smiling.
"We have Ten-Year and Hundred-Year Whale Rubber in the store. I believe we also have one piece of Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, but nothing of a higher age. Which kind would you like?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought about it. Cultivation resources could never be too plentiful, so she simply decided to buy them all.
"Hundred-Year, Thousand-Year... I want them all!"
"That much?"
A trace of surprise appeared in the Shopkeeper's eyes before he said:
"Honored Guest, please wait a moment. I'll immediately check the inventory and have it delivered to you!"
Very soon, a Staff member came over carrying a large basket of Whale Rubber.
"Hello, the total is..."
"Card!"
Before he could finish, Zhu Zhuqing handed over the token Ning Rongrong had given her along with a Black Card.
"Since you are an honored guest of the sect, we'll charge you 10,000 Gold Soul Coins!"
After examining the token, the Shopkeeper spoke respectfully.
"Alright."
Zhu Zhuqing stored all the Whale Rubber in her Soul Tool, accepted the token and Black Card, then turned and left.
She found a new hotel with decent soundproofing and prepared to begin refining the Whale Rubber.
That evening, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"What?!"
"You said someone used Rongrong's token to buy a whole pile of Whale Rubber!"
Upon receiving the news, Ning Fengzhi could no longer sit still.
As a Sect Master, in order to revitalize the sect and produce a more gifted next generation, he was naturally an experienced consumer of Whale Rubber.
Now that someone had bought so much Whale Rubber, could his precious daughter's delicate body handle it?
"Sect Master, please rest assured. The person who bought the Whale Rubber was not a man, but a woman."
The sect Disciple immediately Comforted him.
"Whew, good thing it was a wom—wait! What did you say?!"
Ning Fengzhi's vision suddenly went dark, and he felt as though the sky had fallen!
Whether his daughter's sexual orientation was abnormal.
Or his daughter was sharing a man with other women.
Neither was something Sect Master Ning could accept!
"Bastard! Didn't I tell you to protect Miss properly?"
That night.
"What? The Sect Master is furious? He blames us for failing to protect Miss?"
A Soul Emperor looked blankly at the secret letter in his hand.
"But... isn't Miss doing perfectly fine?"
Another Soul Emperor raised his head in confusion and glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was happily skipping through the night market while pulling Xiao Wu along.
The two Looked At Each Other, and their moods instantly soured!
Oh no!
Some bastard had stabbed them in the back!
I Want to Test the Card!
