Worth Eating, No Regrets!

A gentle breeze brushed past, and tree shadows swayed.

In the Jade Pool, a beauty bathed.

After washing away all the grime, Liu Erlong felt as though she had been completely cleansed. Her Soul Power had directly risen by five levels, and her Fire Dragon Martial Soul had been strengthened considerably!

Only upon closer inspection did she notice that the tips of Liu Erlong's hair and the corners of her brows had taken on a faint crimson hue. Although she had yet to truly possess the Ultimate Fire attribute, the power of her fire attribute had increased tremendously.

"Damn it! Who invented holy light? You can't see anything below the neck! Even gentlemen are being guarded against!"

"Attention, veteran drivers! The livestream isn't beyond the law either!"

"Bad woman! How many benefits did she get? Stealing my husband's rewards was bad enough—how could she eat and take away so much too?"

"Let me report to the brothers exactly what rewards Liu Erlong leeched yesterday: Attack +25, Speed +25, Endurance +25, Mental Power +25, Stamina +25, Physical Fitness +25, Skill Proficiency +25, Soul Ring Age +25, Soul Skill Damage +25, Spirit Bone Age +25, Fire Attribute Damage +25, Fire Attribute Technique Proficiency +25, Skill Power +25, Basic Pills +5, Rare Materials +5, Fire Attribute Techniques +5, Fire Attribute Treasures +5, overall Fire Attribute enhancement +5%..."

"It doesn't look like she got as much as Gu Zhi! But that final overall Fire Attribute enhancement really brought her back to life!"

"Good lord! Her stats were already high, and now she got another 5% overall boost. Her numbers have taken off!"

"Wouldn't Liu Erlong be able to fight a Soul Douluo to a draw now? These are still Soul Sage stats. Once she breaks through to Soul Douluo, won't she be invincible among those of the same rank?"

"This isn't even the end! If she cultivates with Gu Zhi for a few more nights and transforms her own fire attribute into Ultimate Fire, then she'll be truly invincible!"

"You bastard up there! Don't bring up my painful memories! It was bad enough letting this wicked woman succeed once! She still wants to keep harming my husband? Dream on!"

"No! Sis, just talk online if you want! If they don't continue, what are we supposed to watch?"

"Yeah, what are we supposed to watch?"

As she watched the comments meticulously explain her condition, Liu Erlong's smile never faded for even a moment. Though there had been a tiny sacrifice, compared to what she had gained now, she felt it had been worth it even if it happened several more times!

"Ahem... Sister Liu... um, I left your clothes by the side..."

Gu Zhi's voice came from the shore. He had just finished bathing as well and found that neither of their clothes could be worn anymore, so he exchanged for new clothes through the system and brought them to Liu Erlong.

"No! Gu Zhi, walk a little closer! What is there that I, a distinguished member, can't see?"

"That brother's abacus beads are practically smacking me in the face! Why should we let you see?"

"How did you get a membership? I want to get one too!"

"You actually believed that? Even if anyone gets to see, only Gu Zhi can. You'd better wash up and go to sleep early! You can have anything in your dreams!"

Amid the clamor of the comments, Liu Erlong changed into her new clothes, pinned up her hair, and reappeared. Her greatest change was the mature charm that she unintentionally exuded.

"So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful! Is this still my Sister Liu? She's way too beautiful!"

"Holy crap! Why didn't anyone tell me about something this huge earlier?"

"Brothers, I've got something to do, so I'm logging off first! I'll be back in three minutes!"

"No! You bastard up there! Take your hand out from under the blankets!"

"Is no one going to mention how well these clothes fit? How did Gu Zhi know Liu Erlong's measurements? Especially since Liu Erlong seems to have developed a little more!"

"How do you think he knew? He personally measured her yesterday!"

"I'm jealous again! Damn Gu the Demon! I'm irreconcilable with you!"

Though Gu Zhi could not hear the praise and roars from the comments, his feelings about Liu Erlong's beauty were exactly the same as those of the viewers.

"What? You don't recognize me anymore?"

With a hint of coquettish reproach, Liu Erlong shot Gu Zhi a sidelong glance. He usually looked so proper, yet he had such a greedy side too.

"Sister Liu has become even prettier."

Gu Zhi's tone was extremely sincere. Liu Erlong, newly a wife, was excessively gentle at the moment. Dressed in red and wearing such a delicate expression, it would not be an exaggeration to call her a banished immortal descending to the mortal world!

"I... I was already beautiful!"

Liu Erlong's heart itched, and she unconsciously grew shy. But she was forthright by nature, so she quickly forced herself to put on a dignified air again.

After admiring her for a while, Gu Zhi calmed his emotions and looked seriously at Liu Erlong.

"About what happened yesterday, I'll take responsibility..."

"Yesterday was just an accident! You don't need to blame yourself!"

Before Gu Zhi could even finish, Liu Erlong interrupted him. It was not that she truly felt nothing for Gu Zhi, but she had approached him with an ulterior purpose, and she was somewhat older than him. That was why she instinctively avoided responding.

Gu Zhi froze in place, his emotions instantly becoming a complicated mess.

"Bad woman! She put on her pants and refused to acknowledge him!"

"Wow! One sentence and she made Brother Gu shut down!"

"No! What does Liu Erlong mean by this? You wanted the wine, and you drugged it too. Then afterward, you say it was an accident? Are you treating Brother Gu like some Japanese guy?"

"I knew it! She definitely came for the Ultimate Fire, right? Now that she's taken the benefits, she wants to run!"

"Poor Gu Zhi! He's been toyed with in the palm of her hand!"

"It's fine! Worth eating, no regrets!"

Unfortunately, Gu Zhi could not see the comments. Otherwise, seeing the screen filled with "worth eating, no regrets" might have soothed his mood a little.

"An accident? Should we pretend it never happened?"

Gu Zhi asked again unwillingly. Liu Erlong's thoughts were a mess as well. She felt that she should not use this to bind Gu Zhi, yet she also felt that perhaps they should simply make the best of a mistake...

"I... We should both calm down first..."

Liu Erlong intended to put the matter aside for now and leave the future to be decided in the future.

"Mm..."

Gu Zhi did not know how to respond. Since Liu Erlong had not made up her mind, he would give her some time.

Yet the two of them discovered that they could not calm down at all. They constantly paid attention to each other, but whenever they drew a little closer, they immediately sprang apart again.

"It's over! They've made this donkey completely lose it! An entire day has passed, and they don't even have the mind to look for treasure chests!"

"This is way too unprofessional! Brothers, type 'professionalism' all over Gu Zhi's face with me! Make him reflect properly!"

"I'm seriously speechless with you people! Can you stop making such outrageous comments?"

"Help! I noticed something hilarious! Did you see that Three-Eyed Golden Lion beside Gu Zhi and the others, the one that only watches their heads and ignores their tails? She's been following them ever since last night!"

"I noticed too! Isn't this Wang Qiu'er from the future? What a creepy, obsessive yandere!"

The comments' reminder gave Liu Erlong, who had been trying to find a topic to talk about, an idea. She looked in the direction they mentioned and indeed vaguely saw a beautiful lion-sized soul beast staring at them gloomily.

Three-Eyed Golden Lion met Liu Erlong's gaze and instinctively wanted to flee. She had merely been curious about Gu Zhi and the comments; she had never intended to make actual contact with them.

"Who's there!"

But Liu Erlong desperately needed someone to help break the ice right now, and she had finally caught herself some free labor!
