Nothing Should Go Wrong

Arriving at Gui Mei's residence.

In a secluded little corner.

He dug out a wooden brocade box he had treasured for a long time.

Under the strange looks of Li Zha and the others.

He slowly opened the box.

Inside was a pitch-black piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, the size of two palms.

"Old Ghost, you actually kept such a large piece. Were you planning to find yourself an old companion or something?"

The moment Yue Guan saw it, he had already thought of how to tease Gui Mei.

Gui Mei waved his hand. "Prepare for a rainy day. What old companion? It's just that if I ever need it, I don't want to come up short."

"Old companion...?"

Hu Liena muttered with a laugh, unable to understand why Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue had anything to do with finding an old companion.

Gui Mei worried that Hu Liena would grow even more curious.

So he hurriedly stuffed all the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue into Li Zha's hands.

"Take it and use it. We'll stand guard outside for you."

When he said the latter half, Gui Mei's tone was particularly earnest.

Li Zha remained calm and nodded.

"Thank you, Senior Gui."

He carefully accepted the black Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

This was his first time truly seeing Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

It looked like a black stone, but it felt smooth and tender in his hand.

Like freshly sliced fish.

He examined it for a few moments.

Then began muttering inwardly.

I... uh... probably won't react too strongly, right?

He was not sure either.

He was only six years old, after all.

What kind of reaction could someone his age possibly have?

Though he had learned that age on Douluo Continent seemed completely different from the world of his previous life.

Here, twelve years old apparently already compared to eighteen.

For someone like Ma Hongjun, with that kind of special martial soul.

Six years old was indeed old enough to react.

"But my Undying Lotus Root and Pure Lotus's lotus are of the same origin..."

He murmured softly.

"Nothing should go wrong."

With that thought, he decisively found a place to sit.

He directly summoned the Flaming-tipped Spear.

Boom!

He activated his soul power.

The red tassel at the Flaming-tipped Spear's tip gradually rose.

As the temperature began to rise, Li Zha threaded the whale glue onto it and heated it.

Heating it could greatly reduce the aphrodisiac effect within the whale glue.

And it would not diminish the glue's effects.

At this moment, outside the master bedroom.

In Gui Mei's courtyard.

Hu Liena curiously peered inside.

But whenever she approached, Gui Mei and Yue Guan would deliberately or casually stop her.

"Grandpa Gui, Grandpa Ju, I won't disturb Little Brother Li Zha. I'm just curious. What exactly is Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue? Why do we need to stand guard for him, and from so far away?"

Hu Liena knew about standing guard for someone.

After all, people often watched over her when she absorbed soul rings.

But she had never encountered a situation where the guards deliberately kept such a great distance away.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan exchanged a glance.

The corners of Yue Guan's lips rose slightly.

"Old Ghost, why don't you explain it to Nana?"

Gui Mei shot Yue Guan a glare.

"You do it."

Yue Guan raised a brow and covered his mouth with a small chrysanthemum in hand.

Hu Liena became even more curious after hearing them.

If they won't tell me, someone else will.

The less they say, the more I need to find out what this Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue is.

If all else fails, I refuse to believe Teacher won't know.

She had already made up her mind.

The Grandpa Gui and Grandpa Ju before her clearly had no intention of telling her.

Then she would find another way!

Just as the three of them were each harboring their own thoughts.

Boom!

A blaze of fire shot into the sky from the room!

Hu Liena's pupils instantly contracted.

Backlash?!

"Was Li Zha harmed by the backlash from that Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue?!"

"I'm going in to check on him!"

Gui Mei's eyes widened. He immediately transformed into a black shadow and blocked Hu Liena.

"Nana, he's fine. That isn't backlash."

"If it isn't backlash, I need to see it with my own eyes!"

"Nana, you'd better not go in. Going in now could easily affect him."

Yue Guan also tried to dissuade her from the side.

Hu Liena fumed. "Grandpa Gui, Grandpa Ju! Since you both know so much about Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, why can't you tell me about it? You even know whether it's backlash or not... Wait a second."

Her face immediately flushed red. "You're standing guard from so far away... Don't tell me you're guarding against me?!"

"Damn it, how could I possibly compete with my future junior brother for resources?! Grandpa Gui! Grandpa Ju!" She looked at them both seriously and aggrievedly.

"What kind of person do you think I, Hu Liena, am?!"

Gui Mei and Yue Guan looked at each other.

Neither knew how to explain it to her.

They truly had been guarding against Hu Liena.

But it was not because they feared she would steal resources or anything like that.

Rather, they worried that if Li Zha saw Hu Liena in that state...

Hu Liena might instantly lose all favorable feelings toward Li Zha.

After all...

Gui Mei turned back, his gaze complicated as he looked toward his master bedroom.

That kid was probably turning all sorts of colors in there right now...

He had been able to keep that Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue for himself.

He must have experienced that feeling before.

Otherwise, how could he verify whether the whale glue he bought was genuine?

That unbearably scorching sensation had nearly been too much even for him, a Titled Douluo.

Let alone Li Zha.

He was only a six-year-old soul master. At that age, he probably had not even touched a woman's lips.

Much less possessed any self-control.

It would be strange if he could endure it.

And Li Zha in the room.

Was indeed in much the state Gui Mei had imagined.

His entire body was flushed and burning hot.

An indescribable feeling of suppression spread wildly from his dantian throughout his body.

"The side effects of absorbing this Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue... aren't any less severe than absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

His brows were tightly furrowed, and beads of sweat soaked his handsome face.

He had thought that, with the lotus root sharing the same origin as the lotus.

And with his body being only six years old.

He could ignore most of the whale glue's aphrodisiac effects.

But unexpectedly, it was completely useless!

And because he had been with women in his previous life.

Even though he had not been with any women in this world yet.

The whale glue still caused uncontrollable scenes to replay over and over in his mind.

This was beyond his expectations.

"I don't know how long this will last... Fortunately, Senior Gui is outside holding them back. Otherwise..."

"Damn it, I can't think about it!"

He clenched his right hand in the air!

Firelight flickered.

The Flaming-tipped Spear appeared in his hand once more.

He drove it into the ground.

Then gripped the Flaming-tipped Spear tightly with both hands.

The moment his mind wandered to Hu Liena outside.

His entire body would grow even hotter.

Especially since Hu Liena, though only twelve.

Had developed far beyond ordinary people because she was a soul master.

Whether it was the fullness of her chest or the curves of her figure, both were rather astonishing.

Before consuming the whale glue, he had not cared much at all.

His mind had been wholly focused on cultivation.

But now, after absorbing the whale glue.

Hu Liena's figure circled through his mind like a ghost.

He even imagined scenes unsuitable for children.

"Fox, you've really ruined me..."

Yet just then, with a bang!

The door was pushed open.

"Li Zha! I heard the commotion and rushed in! Are you all right?!"

Hu Liena looked at Li Zha worriedly.

The desire Li Zha had suppressed for so long.

Completely collapsed the instant Hu Liena's voice rang out.

Boom!

It fiercely burned outward from his dantian through his entire body once again!

Li Zha spoke through nearly gritted teeth.

"Get out..."

"Grandpa Gui! Grandpa Ju! Didn't you say Little Brother Li Zha would definitely be fine?! He's been hurt by the backlash so badly! Little Brother Li Zha, let me check on you!"

Hu Liena hurriedly tried to step forward to help Li Zha.

This time, Gui Mei and Yue Guan both wore extremely grave expressions as they blocked Hu Liena.

"Letting you come in was already the limit, Nana. Don't fool around any further!"

Yue Guan glanced sideways at Li Zha.

"One more step forward, and that's an abyss."
