Young Bibi Dong Eats Whale Rubber, Leaving Ma Hongjun Foaming at the Mouth

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Everyone knows Whale Rubber as an aphrodisiac, but few know that after a Titled Douluo purifies it, its side effects become milder.]

[Taking it can strengthen the body and improve your constitution.]

[Thousand-year and ten-thousand-year varieties are both good.]

[If side effects appear, find some Cold Sky Grass to suppress them.]

Young Bibi Dong took out a small notebook and lowered her head to write it down.

She wrote with great care, as though she meant to carve the words into her future too.

So Whale Rubber had such a use.

She turned to a maid beside her:

"Go to the medicine pavilion and bring me the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber.

And invite Elder Lion here while you're at it."

"Saintess, what do you want Whale Rubber for?

Isn't it an aphrodisiac?

Eating it makes your whole body burn...

Those nobles, and certain lecherous fellows, all like the stuff..."

The maid's ears reddened as she spoke.

"Yes, I know.

Just bring it to me."

Bibi Dong's face reddened too.

Only then did she understand what "aphrodisiac" meant.

Eating it would make her whole body burn, and it would also...

But

Li Qiu had mentioned the side effects.

That burning heat and arousal must be what he meant.

And he had told her how to suppress them.

Besides, having a Titled Douluo purify it would reduce the side effects further.

He really was thoughtful.

"Yes."

The maid immediately went to carry out her orders, taking several junior maids with her

to bring back five pieces of thousand-year Whale Rubber and five pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber.

She also fetched Elder Lion.

At this time, Lion was only fifty-six years old and a level ninety-two Titled Douluo. He was still an elder, not yet an enshrined elder.

He followed the maid to Saintess Hall.

When he saw how much Whale Rubber the maids had brought, he frowned.

Why had the Saintess gathered so much Whale Rubber and summoned a virile, imposing elder like him?

Had she taken a fancy to him?

No, impossible.

I'm a real man.

She's too young.

If she confesses and offers me all this Whale Rubber, I'll absolutely turn her down.

Then

the maid pushed the door open

and placed all the Whale Rubber before Young Bibi Dong.

Elder Lion stepped forward.

"Elder Lion... sorry for the trouble, but could you purify this Whale Rubber for me?

Whatever your fee is, I'll pay it."

Young Bibi Dong blinked her bright, innocent eyes and smiled at Elder Lion.

"Uh... Whale Rubber can be purified?

That's the first I've heard of it.

Saintess, what do you need so much Whale Rubber for?"

Elder Lion could tell from her gaze that she had no such intentions toward him.

Then another thought struck him.

Has she taken a fancy to some handsome fellow in Spirit Hall?

Is she in heat?

"You don't need to worry about that.

Can you help or not?"

Young Bibi Dong put on no airs at all.

"Of course I can!

No payment needed!"

Elder Lion immediately drew the Whale Rubber toward him with a sweep of his hand. Soul Power surged through his body and enveloped it.

His powerful Soul Power forced the impurities out of the Whale Rubber.

It took a full half hour to purify it all.

Sweat had even beaded on Elder Lion's forehead.

Seeing this, Young Bibi Dong immediately had a maid pour him some tea.

"Elder Lion, have some tea!"

Elder Lion had thought it would be easy. He had not expected purification to consume so much Soul Power.

"Thank you, Saintess. The Whale Rubber is purified."

He handed the purified Whale Rubber to the maid, then accepted the tea.

"Thank you for your effort, Elder! Please, sit!"

Young Bibi Dong took a piece of Whale Rubber from the maid and examined it.

The fishy smell was gone after purification. It seemed good.

Elder Lion drank his tea without saying much.

"Elder Lion, please keep this secret for me. Don't let my teacher know!"

Young Bibi Dong spoke in a pleading tone.

"Rest assured, Saintess. I won't tell a soul!

Only you, I, and she know of this.

If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"

Elder Lion finished his tea and stood, making his promise with a solemn expression.

"Take care, Elder!"

Young Bibi Dong saw Elder Lion out.

Elder Lion rather liked the Saintess's attitude.

But when he said he wanted no payment, she really hadn't given him any.

What an innocent little thing.

He shook his head.

[Spirit Hall Saintess: I had Elder Lion purify the Whale Rubber. That disgusting fishy smell is gone.

Can I eat it now?]

[Elder Lion is so strange. I offered to pay him, but he refused, then shook his head as he left. Does he have a neck problem?]

When Li Qiu heard that Ma Hongjun's hand had broken again, he immediately ran far away.

He could let Ma Hongjun suffer a little longer.

Zhao Wuji stared as Li Qiu shot past him.

Since when had this fellow been so eager to run?

He vanished in the blink of an eye.

Oscar ran off too.

Only Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun remained behind.

Zhao Wuji walked over and saw Ma Hongjun's pale face.

Ma Hongjun clutched his injured hand with the other.

"Fatty, broke your hand again?"

"Yeah. Where are Oscar and Li Qiu? Get them to make me a Recovery Sausage and heal me!"

"They ran on ahead. Go catch them yourself. Looks like you offended them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have run so fast."

Zhao Wuji folded his arms and chuckled.

"Oscar! Li Qiu! You two have gotten pretty damn bold... Think Fatty won't burn you to death?"

Ma Hongjun roared and charged forward.

Those two were asking for a beating.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Yes, you can eat it now. Just have a little each day and let your body adjust. Don't eat too much.]

Li Qiu read Young Bibi Dong's next two messages and could not help smiling.

She really was innocent and adorable.

By payment, she had meant giving Elder Lion Gold Soul Coins, hadn't she?

Would an elder of Spirit Hall and a Titled Douluo be short of Gold Soul Coins?

He had not expected Lion to still be an elder at this point.

Later, he would become an enshrined elder.

[He isn't short of Gold Soul Coins.]

[Give him something he needs, and he might appreciate it.]

[In the future, Lion will be a level ninety-seven enshrined elder.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Oh. I don't know what to give him. How about Whale Rubber?]

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: Send me some Whale Rubber.]

[Besides, thousand-year and Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber might not do anything for a Titled Douluo. Better send me some.]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Oh, giving gifts really is troublesome.]

[I'll ask around later and find out what he needs.]

[I'll teleport some Whale Rubber to you tomorrow.]

[I tried it. The taste was nothing special.]

After saying that, Young Bibi Dong picked up a piece and ate it in small bites.

The maids beside her were terribly nervous, afraid the Saintess would fall ill from it or become aroused and turn on them. They looked ready to march onto a battlefield.

But after Young Bibi Dong finished eating, she only felt a little warmth spread through her body.

It was like soaking in a hot bath.

There were no other side effects.

She felt her body growing stronger bit by bit.

The change was faint.

But over time, little by little, it would add up.

It really could strengthen her body.

This A Leaf Knows Autumn was remarkable.

He had not lied to the Saintess.

She jumped for joy.

It was the first time the maids had seen the Saintess so happy.

They all stood frozen in place, smiling.

[A Leaf Knows Autumn: How well did it work?]

[Spirit Hall Saintess: Very well. Thank you!]

"Li Qiu! Oscar! Stop right there, you fucking bastards!"

Ma Hongjun wanted to cry. He had never imagined those two could run so fast.

His broken hand hurt even more with every stride.

His face was white as paper.

The pain was unbearable.

Cold sweat streamed down his body.
