The sudden turn of events made Huo Yuhao's heart lurch. Not daring to delay, he shifted his feet and hurried off the main path, slipping like an agile monkey into the unnoticed shadow of an artificial rockery.
His wary gaze swept his surroundings before he carefully drew the charred lump from inside his clothes.
"Brother Sky Dream, is there something strange about this?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head and asked inwardly, bewildered.
"Strange? How the hell is this merely strange?! This is a heaven-sent windfall!!"
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm practically rolled around in a frenzy of excitement.
"This is a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue whose essence has settled and condensed to the utmost degree!!"
"A supreme ten-thousand-year treasure of blood and vitality! Not only can it thoroughly cleanse those feeble meridians of yours, it can even force your physique to soar to the terrifying point where you can withstand soul rings several thousand years old!!"
"Heavens... Yuhao, just what kind of unbelievable shit-luck did you stumble into?!"
Hearing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's thunderous string of roars within his sea of consciousness, Huo Yuhao's expression instantly froze. His little mouth slowly fell open, while disbelief and shock churned through his eyes like overturned rivers and seas...
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere in the same area, a tall, slender figure stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his deep eyes slightly closed and his expression unruffled.
Ding!
Without warning, a crisp sound like the celestial voice of the Great Dao thundered through the depths of his mind!
Detected: Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao has officially obtained one piece of "supreme ten-thousand-year whale rubber"! Tenfold critical reward mechanism triggered! Congratulations, host! You have received the tenfold enhanced critical reward-"hundred-thousand-year red jade whale glue"!!
BOOM!!
The instant the notification faded from his mind, a terrifying pressure of blood and vitality erupted through the space before him, like an ancient god or demon descending into the world!
The surrounding space shuddered violently. A radiant treasure resembling the purest, most translucent blood-red jade emerged from a rift out of thin air!
Within that piece of red jade whale glue, he could even faintly hear vast, dragonlike cries, as though a giant whale were tearing through the deep sea. Waves of almost tangible golden-red light, brimming with blood and vitality, surged wildly in every direction!
"Hiss... what terrifying power!"
Feeling that fierce pressure sweep toward him like a tide, Dongfang Hao's pupils abruptly contracted, and his expression changed drastically. He could not help drawing a sharp breath.
Despite his shock, he did not lose his composure. His hands swiftly formed seals, and the immense spiritual power within his niwan palace, comparable to that of the Spirit Abyss Realm, surged forth in a wild torrent!
"Mental Interference Domain, seal it!"
As his cold shout rang out, his formidable divine sense nearly solidified into a black curtain of light in midair. With sheer, overwhelming force, it confined the skyward eruption of blood and vitality within a half-meter radius, allowing not even the slightest fluctuation of energy to escape.
Standing within the mental barrier, Dongfang Hao stared fixedly at the translucent crimson substance before him, which radiated boundless vitality and an overbearing aura. At last, an expression of wild delight spread across his face.
Hundred-thousand-year red jade whale glue!
Such a divine treasure had probably never appeared even once in the entire recorded history of the Douluo Continent!
The vast essence of blood and vitality contained within it was enough to transform a Titled Douluo's physique and vitality in earth-shaking fashion. It could even force a frail mortal body beyond its limits, defying heaven to rewrite its fate!
"Whew..."
Slowly exhaling a breath of white mist, Dongfang Hao willed it away with a sweep of his sleeve, placing the enormous piece of red jade whale glue directly into his Storage Ring.
Yet once the treasure was safely secured, the wild delight on Dongfang Hao's handsome face slowly faded, replaced by a deeply solemn expression.
"The treasure's mine now, but... how am I supposed to consume it?"
He rubbed the space between his brows, his eyes filled with helplessness and apprehension.
Even ordinary ten-thousand-year whale rubber contained intensely yang lustful fire that required a woman to give everything she had to balance and dispel it.
And this hundred-thousand-year divine treasure...
Once it erupted within his body, the evil fire would be like a hundred thousand volcanoes erupting at once. Without an exceptionally powerful beauty beside him to endure it, he feared he could wear every living creature within several miles to pieces!
"Ma Xiaotao is a level-sixty-five Soul Emperor. Under the assault of such overwhelming medicinal power, she couldn't possibly last through the whole thing alone..."
His eyes flickered, and an elegant, dignified face, ripe with mature charm, involuntarily surfaced in Dongfang Hao's mind-
The Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Cai Mei'er!
"That beautiful, mature vice dean whose name resounds across the continent... wide hips, a lush, fully ripened figure, and soul power at the level of a ninety-five Super Douluo. Her endurance and capacity are both second to none!"
"If I could draw her into this and have her work together with Ma Xiaotao, perhaps they'd stand a chance of subduing that hundred-thousand-year medicinal power..."
As the thought crossed his mind, Dongfang Hao could not help swallowing, an irrepressible heat rising in his lower abdomen.
"But making Shrek's distinguished vice dean strip naked and letting me have my way with her in bed as an antidote... isn't that idea a little too bold and thrilling?"
Shaking his head, Dongfang Hao forcibly suppressed those outrageous thoughts.
Thrilling though the idea was, reality was hardly as simple as his imagination.
Cai Mei'er was no puppet like Zhou Yi, whose mind he had casually taken control of. She was a genuine level-ninety-five Super Douluo, deeply steeped in the traditional etiquette of aristocratic families, and valued her chastity and reputation above all else.
If he truly dared to force himself on her regardless of the consequences, once that woman regained her senses, the towering fury born of her humiliation would probably be enough to overturn all of Sea God Island!
"Looks like if I want to consume this hundred-thousand-year red jade whale glue safely, I'll have to find a way to scout out a few more senior sisters in the Inner Court with both exceptional strength and exquisite figures..."
Dongfang Hao quietly calculated his options.
The Inner Court had no shortage of gifted women with breathtaking faces and figures. Whether it was the gentle, gracious eldest senior sister Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, or Wu Ming, which of them was not a peerless beauty, one in ten thousand?
If he could draw all of them into his bed, with yin and yang mingling, why would he worry about failing to dispel that hundred-thousand-year medicinal power?!
Still, matters in the Inner Court would require a gradual approach. For now, there was another urgent piece of "cleanup" that Dongfang Hao needed to arrange properly.
"Once Huo Yuhao takes that ten-thousand-year whale glue at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's urging, the lustful fire inside it will explode within him without holding anything back..."
If that savage lustful fire were simply allowed to burn through him without any outlet, the boy would surely be burned into an idiot!
But Dongfang Hao did not have a bodhisattva's compassion when it came to handing someone else a romantic windfall for free!
Tap.
As he pondered, Dongfang Hao's steps paused briefly. His gaze shifted, involuntarily landing on the very center of the Shrek Outer Court's plaza.
There stood an enormous stone statue that towered into the clouds, revered and worshipped by countless people.
The statue depicted a long-haired man whose handsome face carried a hint of feminine softness. Holding the Sea God Trident, he gazed down loftily upon the masses. It was none other than the God King who had ascended to the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago-
Tang San!
Looking at that towering statue revered by countless people, Dongfang Hao's lips slowly curved into an utterly wicked smile...
