Whale Rubber's Medicinal Effects Go Out of Control, the Secret of Whale Rubber?

Late that night.

Ning Rongrong changed into a light pink nightgown and quietly made her way outside the window of the east wing.

She gently pushed the window open a crack and peered inside.

Gu Feng was sitting at the table, using flames to roast a black lump into a sticky gel before swallowing it in one gulp.

Ning Rongrong could no longer hold herself back. She shoved open the door and barged in.

"Gu Feng! What delicious thing are you secretly eating? How dare you hide it from me instead of sharing!"

Gu Feng had just swallowed a piece of three-thousand-year Whale Rubber when he heard the door open, and he froze.

That Little Witch came to inspect his room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!

Before he could explain, the Whale Rubber's medicinal effects erupted inside his stomach.

A violent wave of heat mixed with intense restlessness surged straight to his head, instantly setting the blood throughout his body boiling.

Ning Rongrong hurried to the table and craned her neck toward the plate. A sweet, delicate fragrance unique to a young girl washed over him.

That scent became the spark that ignited dry tinder.

Gu Feng's throat went dry, his body temperature became frighteningly high, and the desire within him completely overwhelmed his reason.

He suddenly stepped forward, seized Ning Rongrong's slender wrists with both hands, and pressed her against the edge of the table.

Ning Rongrong was completely stunned.

Gu Feng's body was scorching hot, and his burning breath fell directly upon her collarbone and neck, carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Gu Feng was usually calm and composed. Even when she deliberately wore a short skirt and approached him, he could ignore her completely and push her away.

But now, Gu Feng's entire face was bright red, the veins on his arms bulged slightly, and he looked as though he wanted to devour her whole.

Ning Rongrong's heartbeat quickened, and her mind went blank.

She immediately understood that there had to be something wrong with that black lump Gu Feng had eaten.

Looking at his handsome face so close to hers, Ning Rongrong's cheeks burned as her heart raced wildly.

She did not struggle or call for help.

She had never disliked Gu Feng. In fact, ever since leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, her heart had already been filled with him.

Gu Feng could cook, take care of people, possessed absurdly great strength, and never showed the slightest kindness to women who threw themselves at him.

Ning Rongrong had long since decided that a man like him was the one for her.

Ning Rongrong's eyelashes trembled. She simply closed her eyes, raised her chin slightly, and prepared herself to accept whatever came next.

The distance between them grew smaller and smaller.

Just as he was about to touch those soft lips, Gu Feng instinctively used the healing ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. That surge of life force instantly jolted his mind.

The life force made Gu Feng abruptly regain a shred of clarity.

He forcibly stopped himself. Looking at Ning Rongrong, who had her eyes closed and wore an expression as though she were ready to let him do as he pleased, cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Gu Feng did not dislike Ning Rongrong, either. As for the people from his past life who called Ning Rongrong useless and accused her of having princess syndrome—

He only wanted to say that Ning Rongrong truly was a princess, so she naturally had the right to be proud.

Now, she had even been thoroughly tamed by him, but he had no intention of muddling through and carelessly crossing that final line with Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, don't follow me!"

Gritting his teeth, Gu Feng released Ning Rongrong's wrists and turned to rush toward the bathroom behind him.

With a bang, the wooden bathroom door slammed shut.

Immediately afterward, the sound of cold water pouring down came from inside.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the empty space before her, she stood there in a daze.

She raised a hand to touch her burning cheeks, and an inexplicable sense of emptiness and disappointment rose within her.

This lady had already closed her eyes, and you actually ran off to take a cold shower?

Ning Rongrong bit her lower lip and fiercely stomped her little foot on the floor.

When she had first met Gu Feng in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had merely thought this commoner genius was handsome and powerful, and that following him would be fun.

But later, as they traveled on foot, Gu Feng strictly pushed her onward during the day while patiently massaging her legs and clearing her meridians every night.

Several times, she had deliberately changed into thin, form-fitting underclothes, hoping to see Gu Feng embarrass himself and lose control. Yet Gu Feng had behaved properly the entire time, never touching her any more than necessary.

She knew very well that Gu Feng was a man of firm principles.

That had been the first time she had seen Gu Feng lose control, and she had even been ready to give herself to him.

Yet under such overwhelming desire, Gu Feng had actually suppressed it through sheer willpower!

After her brief disappointment passed, the little deer in Ning Rongrong's heart began pounding even harder.

A man who could resist such temptation could not be found anywhere on the entire continent, even with a lantern!

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and looked at the tightly shut bathroom door, unable to stop a smug curve from appearing at the corner of her lips.

"Run? Let's see how long you can endure. Sooner or later, you'll be mine!"

More than half an hour passed.

At last, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Gu Feng changed into a dry gray robe, circulated his Soul Power to dry his hair, and walked out with an unchanged expression.

The moment he returned to the room, he saw Ning Rongrong holding that small piece of pitch-black Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber beneath her nose and sniffing it hard.

When she saw Gu Feng come out, Ning Rongrong slammed the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber onto the table and questioned him with a stern little face.

"Confess and be treated leniently. Resist and be punished severely!"

"Gu Feng, what exactly is this black lump you just ate?"

Gu Feng pulled out a chair and sat down, pointing at the black lump on the table.

"This is Whale Rubber."

Ning Rongrong had just picked up the piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber. Upon hearing those words, her wrist trembled, and she nearly tossed it straight onto the floor.

Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and even her earlobes were tinged pink.

"Whale Rubber? Heavens, Gu Feng, are you crazy?!"

Ning Rongrong took two steps back, hid her hands behind her back, and stammered in alarm.

"Isn't this something people eat when they're going to do that kind of thing?"

"You're only twelve! You secretly hid in your room in the middle of the night to eat this—what are you trying to do?!"

Gu Feng raised a hand and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

The misconceptions of this era were simply absurd.

A top-tier body-tempering treasure that everyone would fight over ten thousand years later was currently being treated as a vulgar, low-class aphrodisiac.

"Get those messy thoughts out of your head."

"Whale Rubber is essentially a crystallized fatty secretion from high-level sea Soul Beasts."

"It contains an extremely powerful vitality and blood energy. As long as it is softened with high heat, swallowed, and then refined under the guidance of Soul Power, it can greatly strengthen the body."

Ning Rongrong was only half convinced. She leaned her little head closer and examined the black gel.

"Strengthen the body? Then why have I never heard Father or Grandpa Sword mention it before?"

Gu Feng shook his head and pointed at his arm.

"Those nobles only know how to eat, drink, and play around all day. Their bodies have long been hollowed out. After eating Whale Rubber, they only feel heat throughout their bodies, and no one can settle down to refine and absorb it with Soul Power."

"There is an age limit on the Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb. The key factors determining that limit are physical constitution and meridian strength."

"If one's body is strong enough, then absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level forty is not impossible."

Ning Rongrong sucked in a cold breath.

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she understood all too well what it meant to absorb a Soul Ring beyond one's level.

For all Soul Masters on the continent, the age limit for their fourth Soul Ring was generally around five thousand years. Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings had always been exclusive to Soul Kings at level fifty.

If one could equip a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at the level-forty Soul Ancestor stage, their combat power would absolutely leave peers of the same age far behind.

"Can someone really absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beyond their level?"

Ning Rongrong reached out and poked the hard black gel, her tone full of curiosity.
