Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue. Uncle, Is There No One Left in the World You Care About?

Very soon, the door to the rear courtyard was slowly pushed open.

An old man with snow-white hair and beard, yet looking full of vigor, walked in with steady steps.

He wore a gray robe that had been washed somewhat pale. His complexion was ruddy, and his eyes were unexpectedly bright, shining with spirit.

"Are you here to see a doctor, or to get medicine?"

Looking at Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan, Ye Renxin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Especially after his gaze swept quickly over Dai Chengfeng, he subconsciously pulled his granddaughter Ye Lingling lightly behind him, shielding her at his back as his brows furrowed faintly.

"If it's neither, then don't disturb this old man while he treats other patients."

A few black lines seemed to sprout on Dai Chengfeng's forehead. "Although I'm blonde, it's not as if this world has the saying 'Blondie,' right?"

"Why are you guarding against me like I'm a thief?"

He thought that to himself, but Dai Chengfeng's expression did not change. He said calmly, "Senior Ye Renxin, we met in front of the city gate yesterday. Have you forgotten today?"

"Should I explain the details to Miss Ye?"

"We met in front of the city gate yesterday?" Ye Lingling looked at her grandfather in confusion when she heard this. "Strange. When did Grandpa meet Chengfeng?"

"And it was in front of the city gate, too. Why don't I remember that at all?"

Ye Renxin was slightly startled, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashing through his eyes. "He noticed me at the city gate yesterday?"

"But I clearly disguised myself so well. How could this boy possibly know?"

Though Ye Renxin was puzzled inwardly.

Since he had chosen to hide his movements, naturally he did not want his granddaughter to know that he had actually been following her the entire way. Otherwise, the experience would have held no value.

Thus, Ye Renxin's expression changed almost instantly, and he beamed at Dai Chengfeng. "Ah, look at this memory of mine!"

"I remember now!"

"Aren't you Lingling's lifesavers, young friend Chengfeng and Lord Zhu Fan? Thank you both for saving Lingling."

Dai Chengfeng waved his hand, his smile turning even more teasing. "Actually, even if I hadn't saved Miss Ye, I believe Miss Ye would have had heaven's help, wouldn't she?"

Ye Renxin once again carefully sized up Dai Chengfeng's half-smiling expression.

At this moment, he was now completely convinced that Dai Chengfeng had long since discovered that he had been following them all the way.

Though he was unclear how Dai Chengfeng had noticed him, Ye Renxin still could not help but praise him. "After taking the Breath-Concealing Pill, even ordinary Soul Douluo can't detect me, yet he could..."

"As expected, heroes truly do emerge young!"

After his praise, Ye Renxin asked again, "Young friend Chengfeng, what is it you want to do by coming here? Just say it directly."

"I heard that this place is the pharmacy with the most complete stock of medicines in all of Heaven Dou City."

"As for me, I want to find a relatively obscure medicine—whale glue over ten thousand years old. The more, the better. I wonder if Senior Ye has any here?"

Back in the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Chengfeng was certain that as long as he bought whale glue, he would definitely draw special attention from his imperial father and mother.

After all, a prince only a few years old buying an aphrodisiac...

Therefore, Dai Chengfeng had never used whale glue.

After all, ninety-nine percent of the books in the Heaven Dou Imperial Library were military texts, and the remaining few could probably be finished in a few hours. There was no way to use that as an excuse.

"When I go back from the Heaven Dou Empire this time, I'll be able to tell Father the true use of whale glue then..."

"If he asks?"

"I discovered it while reading ancient books in the Heaven Dou Empire. Perfect!"

Thinking this, Dai Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, then looked toward Ye Renxin, a trace of nervousness and anticipation flashing through his heart.

The current timeline was Douluo, so the true function of whale glue had not yet been discovered.

When ordinary medical clinics obtained it, they only used it as an aphrodisiac, and one with extremely severe side effects at that.

Aphrodisiacs that worked better than whale glue and had fewer side effects could be found everywhere.

This resulted in whale glue being truly obscure at present...

Especially since Dai Chengfeng had specifically named whale glue that was over ten thousand years old.

Opposite him, when Ye Renxin heard that the medicine Dai Chengfeng wanted was actually whale glue, he could not help but size him up and down with a strange expression, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Soon, he frowned slightly, shook his head, then looked toward Zhu Fan beside him.

With just one glance, Ye Renxin subconsciously nodded, wearing an expression of sudden realization.

As for Ye Lingling, a flush rose across her fair cheeks.

As the granddaughter of the Medical Saint Ye Renxin, although her medical skill was not as profound as her grandfather's, she was not ignorant of everything.

Naturally, she knew the effects of whale glue.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Lingling still carefully asked Dai Chengfeng, "What do you want whale glue for? And... the more, the better?"

Dai Chengfeng smiled and explained, "Actually, it isn't me who wants it. It's my uncle."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhu Fan, signaling for him to nod.

For a moment, Zhu Fan could not make heads or tails of it. He looked at the subtle expressions on Ye Renxin's and Ye Lingling's faces, utterly bewildered.

What was so special about Whale Rubber?

Why did every single one of them have such strange expressions?

Still, although he did not understand, since Dai Chengfeng had signaled to him, he naturally would not refute him. So he said loudly, "Right, I'm the one who wants to buy it."

"As much as you have. And it has to start at Ten Thousand Years."

"I've liked eating whale meat ever since I was little, so I often take Whale Rubber and mix it with rice."

"???"

In an instant, Dai Chengfeng's eyes widened as he stared at Zhu Fan.

Uncle, do you even hear what you're saying?!

Whale Rubber... mixed with rice?

I only wanted you to take the blame for me, but from the looks of it now, are you planning not to live past tomorrow?!

Or is there already no one left in this world that you care about?

Dai Chengfeng simply could not bear to look.

He hurriedly leaned closer to Zhu Fan, lightly touched Zhu Fan's arm with his hand, and reminded him in a low voice, "Uncle, Whale Rubber's effect is to boost virility!"

"Mm!!!"

Zhu Fan was instantly startled, and the smile on his face completely froze.

At that moment, when he thought of what he had just said, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"I was joking. I was just joking just now, really joking... The sun is so blue today..."

As he spoke, he forced his mouth into a wide laugh, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

At this moment, however, Ye Renxin stood up, crossed his arms, and gave a smile that was not quite a smile. "Joking?"

"In this old man's opinion, not necessarily!"

Zhu Fan glared at him. "Old man, don't slander me!"

"Although I, Zhu Fan, don't like hitting the elderly, if you push me, I don't mind letting you learn just how formidable I am!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, putting on the appearance of someone about to have a "physical" discussion with Ye Renxin.

Ye Renxin merely stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, "In your daily life, do you often feel like you can't get your energy up at certain times? Do you sweat in your sleep at night, and dream often? During the day, is your spirit poor, is it hard to concentrate, and are you always forgetting things?"

"Do you have these symptoms?"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for Zhu Fan's answer, with a trace of a confident smile on his face.

"N-no!"

Zhu Fan's eyes instantly filled with panic, but he still braced himself and shook his head, refusing to admit it. "I don't!"

"I'm a dignified Soul Douluo. How could I possibly... possibly be unable!"

As he spoke, his gaze darted away, not daring to look Ye Renxin in the eyes.

"I can treat it!"

At this moment, Ye Renxin spoke calmly.

"Miracle Doctor!"

Zhu Fan instantly turned into a black shadow, and in the next second, he directly hugged Ye Renxin's thigh, his face full of excitement. "Miracle Doctor, you absolutely have to help me!"

"It's all because I was young and ignorant back then... Wuwuwu~"

Dai Chengfeng watched this scene, his forehead covered in black lines. "No wonder when I said I'd find twenty for him back then, he took the initiative to lower it to five himself."

"I thought he was devoted. Turns out he just couldn't perform!"

Very soon, Zhu Fan and Ye Renxin went to the rear courtyard to fetch the medicine.

Only Dai Chengfeng and Ye Lingling were left in the front hall, staring at each other.
