Realizing that Qian Renxue had misunderstood him, Han Xing immediately spoke up to explain.

"What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?"

"Besides strengthening that particular aspect, Whale Rubber actually has another special effect."

"After undergoing refinement, if the essence is extracted and consumed, it can strengthen one's physical body," Han Xing said, sounding annoyed.

"Ah..." Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed red, and she became somewhat embarrassed.

"I didn't know it had this effect, and I've never heard of such a claim either."

"How did you know that Whale Rubber could strengthen the body?"

Qian Renxue looked at Han Xing before her with curiosity, her eyes filled with inquiry.

"It was recorded in a book, but I was too young at the time and have forgotten exactly which book it was," Han Xing said, shaking his head.

"It was just the fact that Whale Rubber could strengthen the body that I found novel, so I remembered it."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded, not doubting him.

After all, this matter was indeed incredible; anyone who learned of it would be deeply impressed.

"So you don't have complete certainty, then?"

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, "If the effect of the Whale Rubber remains the same as before even after refinement, what will you do?"

"What else could I do? This is Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber; are you suggesting I should just hold it in until I die?" Han Xing joked.

"So, when I refine the Whale Rubber, I'll have to trouble you to stand guard for me."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue widened her beautiful eyes, her red lips slightly parted, wanting to say something but not knowing how to put it.

Seeing this scene, Han Xing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alright, I'm just joking with you. Don't worry, I'm confident."

"Forget it, I'll watch over you when the time comes, just in case something unexpected happens," Qian Renxue said, shaking her head.

"If it really turns out to be ineffective, I'll take you to find a woman to vent with."

"Uh..." Han Xing looked at Qian Renxue in disbelief.

"What are you looking at? That would only be in a desperate situation," Qian Renxue glared back at him.

"You surely didn't think I would help you myself? We have only just met."

"No, I was just a bit surprised by your way of thinking," Han Xing shook his head.

"Surprised that I would take you to find other women?" Qian Renxue mused.

Han Xing nodded without speaking, his meaning already quite clear.

"It's just to prevent you from dying; I'd be finding you a tool, nothing more," Qian Renxue said indifferently.

"After it's over, unless you can defeat me, you won't know her, and she won't see you again."

"Besides, if you knew my status in Heaven Dou City, you wouldn't be so surprised by my way of thinking."

Han Xing was stunned. Qian Renxue's status? Wasn't that the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?

However, he quickly realized the implication.

How could a leader of a nation have only one woman?

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise, the person in that position would likely already have a house full of wives and concubines.

During their conversation, many people below had already placed their bids, and the price had reached over forty thousand.

Clearly, although others did not know that this item had the effect of strengthening the body, the single benefit of virility enhancement was enough to drive most men crazy.

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then finally shouted a bid of fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins to secure the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.

As the attendant delivered the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, Qian Renxue immediately looked at Han Xing.

"Are you going to refine it now?"

"No need. Refinement won't be that quick; it's better to go back and do it," Han Xing shook his head.

"Fine, since that's the case, let's leave," Qian Renxue did not insist.

"I don't have much time to be out, so refine the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber as soon as possible so I can leave with peace of mind."

The two walked out of the private room and immediately intended to leave the Heaven Dou Auction House.

However, just as they reached the main entrance, they saw someone familiar.

"Han Xing? Why are you here?"

Seeing the person before him, Tang San couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Why can't I be here?"

Han Xing was equally surprised to see Tang San, but he quickly understood the other's situation.

In the original plot, Tang San had come to the Heaven Dou Auction House to auction off his hidden weapons.

It was only because of the Immortal Herbs that he should have arrived here much later in the original plot.

Now, because of his own interference, Tang San had not obtained the Immortal Herbs, which led to him arriving at the Heaven Dou Auction House much earlier.

"A Xing, is this your friend?" Qian Renxue noticed Tang San and Xiao Wu, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

At the same age as Han Xing, his Soul Power had actually already reached level thirty-five.

Although he was a bit inferior to Han Xing, this level of strength could still be considered a genius among geniuses.

"A classmate from Blue Tyrant Academy." Han Xing shook his head, signaling that the two were not friends.

"Oh." Hearing that they were not friends, Qian Renxue stopped paying attention to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Although they were geniuses, to her, they were nothing more than that.

Perhaps hearing Qian Renxue's voice, Tang San couldn't help but look over.

Compared to Xiao Wu, the current Qian Renxue was incomparably beautiful.

At twenty years old, she was in the prime of a woman's life.

In contrast, Xiao Wu was instantly made to look dull and lackluster.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Tang San couldn't help but ask.

[Damn, damn, damn, is this Han Xing's girlfriend?]

[Wasn't it said that Han Xing was still single? Not even a day has passed, and he's already got a girlfriend?]

[Absurd, truly absurd. Why do I feel like Han Xing's girlfriend is even prettier than Xiao Wu?]

[It's more than just pretty; her looks, figure, and temperament are crushing them in every aspect.]

[By the way, is she really Han Xing's girlfriend? I just started shipping the Rong Xing Zhi Ji CP, and now you're telling me Han Xing has a CP?]

[Rong Xing Zhi Ji CP? What the heck is that?]

[Rong Xing, it's the 'Rong' from Ning Rongrong and the 'Xing' from Han Xing. Put them together and isn't it Rong Xing?]

[Uh... fine, I can't wrap my head around the way you CP fans think.]

[But looking at the current situation, the woman by Han Xing's side might not necessarily be his CP.]

[What makes you say that, upstairs?]

[Just compare them by appearance. The woman by Han Xing's side looks much more mature than Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others.]

[Although it's hard to tell the age of female characters in anime, you can still tell that this woman is a bit older than Xiao Wu and the others.]

[Judging by how they address each other, Han Xing's relationship with her seems relatively close.]

[However, Han Xing is an orphan, so it's impossible to determine exactly who she is; she really could be his girlfriend.]

[If that's the case, does my Rong Xing Zhi Ji CP still have a chance?]

Han Xing, hearing Tang San's question, had no intention of answering him.

Seeing Han Xing's attitude, Tang San recalled the conflict they had just experienced that morning, and his expression turned cold.

He had originally thought that if Han Xing obediently traded the Immortal Herbs with him, he might make friends with him in the future.

He hadn't expected him to show such a lack of respect now.

"A Xing, if they aren't friends, let's go. I don't have much time to waste here."

Sensing that Han Xing had no desire to converse with Tang San, Qian Renxue spoke up immediately.
