Sea God Quotations and the Balance of Life!

"Wow, looks like I came at the wrong time and spoiled your fun, big brother?" Hu Liena said sarcastically.

"You're overthinking it."

Sun Shan looked a little guilty, inwardly sensing trouble.

Taking one girl's money to buy a gift for another girl was a terrible thing to do.

Even worse was getting caught red-handed by the girl herself.

Damn it, what kind of Asura field was this? What kind of iconic White Album scene?

"Tell me, who was that nasty woman just now? What's your relationship with her? And what do you think our relationship is?!"

Hu Liena flew into a jealous rage.

Faced with this vixen's deadly questions, like a fox demanding recognition of its form,

a quotation Sun Shan had read in his previous life immediately surfaced in his mind.

Chapter one of Sea God Quotations.

Never explain yourself to women. Never admit you were wrong to them. Men should not answer questions, but set questions for women instead.

In relationships between men and women, women constantly act up, constantly throwing questions or problems at men to answer or solve.

At heart, they do not really care about the answers; rather, the women are subconsciously conducting a loser test.

Once you start answering questions, there will be endless questions to answer, until the sea of questions drowns you.

At that point, the woman will judge you to be a loser.

Then the Haji woman's underlying code for admiring the strong activates, directly executing you, the loser.

This is one of the roots of the blond player's dominance in the current meta.

As the saying goes, "When a girlboss takes revenge, she stops at a touch; when a girlboss repays kindness, families are ruined and lives are lost!"

The better you treat a woman, the more she feels she owes you, yet she lacks the ability-or rather, the intention-to repay you.

From the woman's perspective, this kindness turns into a moral debt.

Since this moral debt cannot be settled, the only option is to settle the creditor.

But once you cause women pain, leaving them tossing and turning sleeplessly through countless days and nights, weeping bitterly,

they will instead refuse to leave you because they have invested too much in sunk costs.

Thus, during a relationship, you should give women physical and emotional suffering rather than kindness.

That way, they will instead find themselves unable to let go of the relationship.

Knowing this well, Sun Shan not only refrained from defending himself, but angrily demanded:

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? Where did you go?!"

"And what did you mean by what you just said? Oh, you're doubting me!"

"Yes, you pay for my food, clothes, and living expenses, but does my lack of material contributions mean I haven't contributed anything?"

"Putting the facts aside, you're discriminating against men, you know!"

"Hu Liena, I never imagined you were such a shallow woman. I feel sorry for my own judgment of character."

Sun Shan shook his head and sighed.

Hu Liena was dumbfounded.

"Those are all my lines!"

Sun Shan pressed his advantage:

"Can't men have social lives of their own? Am I your accessory?"

"Don't be ridiculous. I may depend on you financially, but I'm spiritually independent!"

"It's male growth, it's male power, it's an independent man, it's a male lead, it's-aaaaargh!"

By the end, Sun Shan had even unleashed a "war cry."

Under this barrage of questions,

Hu Liena's brain seemed to have taken an elbow from the Black Mamba and instantly crashed. Instinctively, she apologized:

"I'm sorry. Na'er was wrong. I shouldn't have done something to make you lose face in public."

With that apology, she lost the upper hand.

Sun Shan said, "What do you mean? Do you think you don't have to care about my feelings when nobody else is around?"

"Hu Liena, you've disappointed me so much. You still haven't realized your mistake!"

"That's not what I meant! I didn't! Listen to me explain!" Hu Liena was on the verge of tears.

By this point, Hu Liena had long since forgotten to question Sun Shan about Xiao Wu.

But Sun Shan was not satisfied:

"I'm going to punish you!"

Sun Shan domineeringly pulled Hu Liena into his arms by the waist and buried his head against the girl's neck.

A citrus fragrance refreshed his heart.

Sun Shan tilted his face slightly and bit fiercely into the girl's snow-white, swanlike neck.

A distinct set of teeth marks was left on Hu Liena's neck.

It declared to everyone whom she belonged to!

"Mm?" Hu Liena gave a muffled grunt of pain.

Her pretty face instantly flushed crimson, and she stood frozen, at a complete loss.

With a wicked grin, Sun Shan mischievously blew against the girl's ear and said:

"What relationship do you want us to have?"

"You... you're such a bully! Waaaah!"

With red, swollen eyes, Hu Liena ran off as though fleeing.

"Phew, dodged a disaster."

Even after returning to his residence, Sun Shan still felt lingering fear.

"You could clearly both be my wings. Why make things difficult for each other?"

After all, the Sea God had eight wings.

Looks like I still have plenty to learn on my road to becoming a 'Sea God.'

Now that he had some free time, Sun Shan finally had a chance to examine the collectible he had just won at auction.

Anything Tang San coveted had to be top quality!

He opened the box containing the collectible, and the instant his fingers touched it,

Sun Shan shuddered all over, his entire body feeling clear and unimpeded.

"Heaven is helping me! This thing can actually serve as my second Soul Ring, and it's practically a perfect fit for Stock-Simulating Meow Meow!"

He summoned his Martial Soul, Stock-Simulating Meow Meow, and she went wild the moment she spotted the scales interwoven with red and green.

"Ha!"

Her greedy slit pupils blazed with light. With a roar, she lunged forward.

She swallowed it in a single gulp.

Sun Shan trembled all over as the relevant information surfaced in his mind.

"Balance of Life!"

"Forged by the Dragon God over more than a dozen years, formed entirely of life gold, and later steeped in the Dragon God's blood essence, it possesses extraordinary wonders!"

"Do you understand how precious life is? Do you wish to use it to conduct a fair trade?"

Roar!

With the refinement complete, Sun Shan let out a roar of pleasure.

Two verdant, intensely green Soul Rings floated above Stock-Simulating Meow Meow's head.

They bathed the entire big white ball in green.

First Soul Ring age: 23,000 years!

Second Soul Ring age: 88,000 years!

Sun Shan felt his strength surge, his muscles, bones, Qi, and blood growing ever more vigorous.

If he went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts now,

Sun Shan was confident that, without using Soul Power or Soul Skills, relying solely on his physical strength,

he could kill a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in three punches!

Not only had his physical stats skyrocketed, but his Soul Power had also risen to the level of a rank-30 Soul Grandmaster.

At the same time, the "Balance of Life" Soul Ring had given Sun Shan two skills in one go.

"Soul Skill one: Soul Power Loan."

By paying a certain price, you can temporarily call upon the vast reserves of idle Soul Power in the Stock Realm to bolster yourself.

The more Soul Power you call upon, the steeper the price you must pay!

"Soul Skill two: Soul Power Multiplier."

By burning Soul Power, you can vastly increase your combat strength, activating up to a hundredfold Soul Power resonance!

After Sun Shan successfully attached his second Soul Ring,

the Stock Realm received a major version update!

Inside the Stock Realm,

figures crowded together in a lively bustle, and the Soul Masters were all in high spirits.

Everyone was busy with their own trades.

Just then, however, everyone suddenly stopped.

An announcement appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Greetings, Soul Master friends."

"Are you still feeling regret because your low Soul Power and insufficient Soul Power chips prevent you from buying more, causing you to miss golden opportunities?"

"The Stock Realm now offers-Soul Power Loans! Pay 'modest' interest to receive a substantial Soul Power credit limit!"

"Are you still disappointed that the limited daily fluctuations, capped at just 10%, prevent you from earning higher returns?"

"The Stock Realm introduces its Soul Power Multiplier service, offering multipliers of up to 100 times!"

If your Soul Power cultivation was low, the Stock Realm could lend you some.

If you thought the returns were too low and daily gains of a few percentage points weren't satisfying enough, you could use leverage.

With a tenfold Soul Power Multiplier, a one-percentage-point rise would yield a 10% return.

What if you activated a hundredfold Soul Power Multiplier?

Give the Soul Masters a fulcrum, and they would dare to move the entire Stock Realm!

Inside the Stock Realm, the Soul Masters all cheered in unison:

"The Stock Realm is so generous, so kind, so considerate of us Soul Masters!"

Yet most of the greedy Soul Masters never noticed that they had quietly reached the edge of a sheer cliff.

One step farther lay a bottomless abyss.

Below the abyss, a demon was polishing its scythe, preparing for a gluttonous feast.

In the Stock Realm, there were no vegetarians!
