Whale Rubber Body Refining: Which Cadre Could Endure Such a Test?

Worldly affairs were complicated; blooming silent flowers.

For now, they would not concern themselves with anything outside.

In the dim hotel suite, a man and a woman sat on the bed.

The lights flickered, casting two long shadows on the wall.

"How... do you use this whale rubber to refine the body?"

Zhu Zhuqing took out the basket of whale rubber she had bought and asked.

"High temperature softening. Just eat it directly."

Bai Lu replied casually.

"It's that simple? Are you sure?"

Zhu Zhuqing gazed vigilantly at Bai Lu with her cat eyes. "Are you sure there are no side effects from eating this?"

"I'm sure. It's that simple. As for side effects..."

Bai Lu looked perfectly calm. "Because whale rubber can strengthen the body and enhance the bearing capacity of muscles, bones, and meridians, it might be a bit hot and a bit painful."

"Then what... do I need to prepare?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked again.

After all, this thing was an aphrodisiac, and she had to eat it herself!

For the first time... she felt a bit uncertain.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Bai Lu raised his hand and gently stroked the young girl's head. "I'll guard you. Eat with confidence! Eat boldly!"

What answered him was the young girl's Death Stare.

"ヾ(⌐■_■)..."

Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, It's because you're here that I'm not at ease!

Bai Lu pretended to be very sad. "Could it be that I'm that kind of person in your heart?"

"Mm."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Bai Lu's handsome face and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, I'm a good person. I absolutely will not force others. Eat it!"

Bai Lu showed a core cancer thirsty invasion smile.

But it was this familiar smile that suddenly made Zhu Zhuqing recall the day they first met.

In an instant, all doubts in her heart dissipated instead.

"Okay!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Bai Lu with sparkling eyes. "Then I'll leave it to you."

"...Mm."

Feeling the young girl's trust, Bai Lu was startled for a moment, then reminded her:

"Just use the Blazing Right Arm Bone to melt it. Control the temperature well."

Zhu Zhuqing picked up a piece of brown hundred-year whale rubber and poured soul power into her right hand.

Soul bone power activated, and her right arm instantly ignited fierce flames.

Under the roasting of the flames, the whale rubber gradually softened into a gelatinous substance.

A strange, rich fragrance spread out and lingered around them.

"Just eat it directly."

"Okay!"

Zhu Zhuqing held her breath and put the entire piece of whale rubber into her mouth.

A fishy smell exploded in her mouth. The whale rubber slid down her throat, turned into a warm current that rushed into her stomach, then spread to all limbs and bones.

Energy like a runaway wild horse rampaged through the meridians, fiercely strengthening her meridians, flesh, blood, and bones.

"Mm..."

Zhu Zhuqing let out a muffled groan.

Sweat instantly seeped from her forehead. Her always cool and detached pretty face flushed like a ripe apple.

She could feel that the warm current was not only strengthening her body, but also stirring up a strange heat and itch within her.

Fortunately... this feeling did not last long.

In less than ten minutes, her complexion returned to normal again.

"How does it feel?" Bai Lu asked.

"This effect... is very ordinary..."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned. She felt that the whale rubber's enhancement to her physique might not even amount to one percent.

"That's normal."

Bai Lu explained, "Hundred-year whale rubber might raise the soul ring age limit of an ordinary Soul Master by several decades or even a hundred years."

"But your physique is too strong, at the very least comparable to a Soul Emperor. You could already easily absorb soul rings over twenty thousand years old, so it's normal for the effect not to be obvious."

He paused. "You probably won't be able to eat many pieces before hundred-year whale rubber stops having any effect on you."

"Then I'll eat more..."

The young girl was practical. As long as it worked, she would improve however little she could.

One piece... two pieces... three pieces...

Piece after piece of whale rubber was melted by Zhu Zhuqing and eaten.

Aside from the improvement to her physique, she could also feel the whale rubber's extra power uncontrollably flowing toward her left hand.

It was as though the Great Strength Diamond Palm was rapidly growing with the help of the whale rubber's power.

In comparison, the Eight Spider Lances on her back seemed uninterested. After "eating" a few mouthfuls of that energy, they stopped reacting.

"The Great Strength Diamond Palm is related to strength, so it's normal that whale rubber can accelerate its growth. After all, your left arm soul bone is several tens of thousands of years in quality."

Bai Lu thought for a moment before explaining.

"I'll eat more!"

Fighting spirit flared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

She did not even have to cultivate painfully. She could grow stronger just by eating, so how could she not eat fiercely?

Time passed at extreme speed, and the whale rubber rapidly dwindled.

Zhu Zhuqing's body also developed resistance to the hundred-year whale rubber and no longer absorbed even a trace of energy.

Only the Great Strength Diamond Palm accepted everything that came its way, swallowing most of the energy.

Yet even so, some unabsorbed energy continued to gradually accumulate in her body.

"Mm~"

The young girl's cool and detached eyes had unknowingly turned into pools of scorching spring water.

Dazed, reddened, as though suppressing something.

Under the whale rubber's effects, her body temperature rose, her breathing grew rapid, and her clothes were completely soaked through with sweat.

"Enough. Eat more next time."

Bai Lu gripped the young girl's wrist and said seriously:

"If you keep eating, I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself."

"No! I... feel like... the palm bone is about to transform..."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were unfocused, but her voice was incomparably firm:

"I want to... do it all... in one go!"

She raised her faintly glowing left hand. She had to seize this opportunity and let the Great Strength Diamond Palm complete its evolution!

"Forget it! Do as you like!"

The little kitten had already gone this crazy. What else could Bai Lu do?

Of course, he would risk his life to accompany her!

Aside from her overly vigorous fire, she was in excellent health.

For the sake of becoming stronger, if it came down to it, he would just have to endure the pain and make a sacrifice!

The young girl said nothing and continued eating whale rubber.

Very soon, she turned her gaze toward the final piece of black thousand-year whale rubber at the bottom of the basket.

Melt it, eat it, then evolve!

The young girl's left hand suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light, and her palm bone made soft crackling sounds.

"Great Strength... Diamond Palm..."

When she subconsciously activated the soul bone's power, her left hand instantly swelled into a dark gold bear paw.

"Spirit Cat... Possession!"

Yet after she activated her martial soul, the bear paw turned into a slightly larger cat paw that looked brimming with power.

"I'm so~ strong!"

As though drunk on fake alcohol, Zhu Zhuqing swayed as she stood up. With her right hand on her waist, she looked utterly proud.

With a swing of her left hand, she produced a burst of air-breaking sound.

When she clenched her fist, it seemed as though she could crush the air itself.

"Strong, strong, strong... You're the best, okay?"

Bai Lu hurriedly pulled her down, afraid that she might accidentally test her soul skill and demolish the hotel.

"Slap!"

The young girl fell onto the bed, her left hand accidentally striking it.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and the solid wood bed collapsed with a crash.

"So hot... so hot..."

The young girl mumbled as she tugged lightly at her clothes with both hands.

"Riiip~"

Her fair skin was exposed to the air.

"No, little kitten... calm down!"

Bai Lu hurriedly grabbed her hands, trying to stop the little kitten in heat.

But Zhu Zhuqing's consciousness was hazy, while her strength was astonishing. In just a few motions, she tore all her clothes into scraps.

Red light flickered in her eyes as she unconsciously pressed herself toward Bai Lu.

"No! You're using this to test a cadre?"

"Which cadre could endure such a test!"

Even in his clone state, Bai Lu felt a surge of heat.

Looking at the young girl before him, her face flushed, her eyes unfocused, and her clothes gone, he knew he had to take action.

"Looks like I'll have to properly help you vent that fire!"

Bai Lu grabbed her in one motion, dragged her into the bathroom, and punished her fiercely."

Inside the shower...

Icy water poured down while warm water splashed outward.

"Urgh."

Very soon, the overheated young girl's body trembled, and she hazily fell asleep.

"She finally settled down~!"

Bai Lu let out a breath, dried and wrapped up the young girl, placed her on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

The long and chaotic night finally quieted down.
