The Mysterious Effects of the Black Tortoise, Beyond Expectation: Li Xian, a Man of Distinctive Flavor

Zhao Yingqiong filled two bowls herself, piling the turtle meat above their rims as steam billowed upward. She took a sip of soup first, then a bite of meat. The turtle meat had been stewed until it was soft and glutinous as jelly, melting in her mouth with an exceptionally fresh flavor. After that bite, her three flowers seemed to burst from the crown of her head, her skin flushed crimson, and her blood surged like a spring—she felt boundless benefit.

A hot sweat broke out over her body, and she praised, "A ten-thousand-year old turtle truly packs a punch!" She opened her stomach wide and ate in great mouthfuls. As the saying went, when wine and food filled one's belly, lewd desires arose. When people were suffering bitter cold, illness, and pain in earnest, they would never harbor such thoughts. Yet Zhao Yingqiong was vigorous and brimming with fierce vitality now. The subtle strange fragrance she had encountered while infiltrating Snow Eagle Island, when she had been bound and captured for several days—a fragrance that bestowed allure and stirred desire—was unexpectedly replenished and strengthened by the turtle soup. A moment of dizziness came over her, and she felt something indescribably strange, stray thoughts rising one after another. She forcefully suppressed them and continued eating and drinking in large mouthfuls.

Li Xian savored the turtle soup, comprehending its properties as food, and gained immense benefits. The "Heavenly Toughness" trait meant that a tough life was hard to extinguish, tough blood made one's Qi robust, and a tough body possessed even greater strength... Its wondrous uses were endless.

Zhao Yingqiong ate her fill, leaving behind a little broth. A blazing fire burned in her belly, her expression turned strange, and she grew irritated for no reason as stray thoughts rose again.
