Chapter 45

Chapter 45

The carriage was enveloped by a powerful spiritual force to ensure that the conversations inside would not be heard by outsiders.

Shen Hanyu looked at the Shui Bing'er and her sister and said calmly:

"You don't need to give anything in return, just keep it a secret."

Shen Hanyu's words did not mean that he completely trusted the other party. Human soul masters are developing very quickly, and it will not be long before they discover the wonderful uses of various treasures.

He wasn't exactly a selfless person; in fact, he was often quite selfish. At least until others discovered it, he wanted his close friends and family to know and benefit from the secret.

At least for now, the situation on the mainland is relatively stable. If a spark were to suddenly ignite, the entire mainland would become a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Shui Bing'er was taken aback, as if she hadn't expected the other party's request to be so simple, and asked with some doubt:

"It's that simple?"

Shen Hanyu rolled his eyes and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Do you expect me to swear now that you'll marry me someday? I dare say that, but do you dare do it?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's pretty face flushed slightly. She spat lightly and said softly:

"You haven't changed at all, still indulging in wishful thinking, you lecher..."

Shui Yue'er and Shen Liuyu, who were sitting to the side, both showed knowing smiles, looking forward to what the two would say next.

Shen Hanyu waved his hand helplessly and said:

"See? You can't offer me anything that moves me, so what more can I ask for?"

Shui Bing'er was silent for a moment, then said:

"Then you are right, I really don't have anything to offer."

Although she and her sister were the nieces of the dean of Tianshui Academy and received the best education and cultivation resources, it was still somewhat insignificant compared to what Shen Hanyu had.

Shen Hanyu nodded, not denying Shui Bing'er's words.

"That's it, why are you so worried?"

Shen Hanyu said.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, took Shui Yue'er's hand, and said:

"I promise. Yue'er and I swear on our martial souls that we won't expose your secret, okay?"

Shen Hanyu nodded, acknowledging the other party's somewhat informal vow.

Seeing that the two had fallen silent after speaking, Shui Yue'er became restless and asked anxiously:

"Brother Yu, please tell me quickly, what is it? I'm so anxious..."

Before Shen Hanyu could speak, Shen Liuyu lazily lifted her head from Shen Hanyu's shoulder and said:

"It's very simple, it's whale glue, you know, right? It comes from the brain of a whale spirit beast. When I first ate it, I really didn't expect whale glue to have such a wonderful use. How about that, aren't you surprised?"

Shui Yue'er nodded somewhat blankly. She didn't know much about whale glue. Female soul masters rarely came into contact with this kind of thing; it was usually used by male soul masters.

Shui Bing'er was stunned for a moment, but she didn't react much.

"I see. Everyone only knows whale glue as a flirtatious substance associated with 'that,' but it has such wonderful uses. But... the effects..."

Shui Bing'er found it difficult to speak.

Shen Hanyu glanced at Shen Liuyu, shook his head, and explained:

"Strong-bodied battle spirit masters generally won't experience the kind of thing you're thinking of after absorbing the energy of whale glue, but there are exceptions. Don't worry, if anything unexpected happens, I'll help you suppress it."

As he spoke, Shen Hanyu took out two pieces of millennium whale glue, whose surface had hardened, from his soul tool and handed them to the two of them.

This is whale glue collected by the Shen family from high places over the years. Most of it is hundreds or thousands of years old, while whale glue that is tens of thousands of years old is almost nowhere to be found on the mainland.

Even though whale glue is a thousand-year-old product, it is still quite expensive. Even though the effects of whale glue are not known to the world now, it is still an excellent tonic, and many wealthy merchants and nobles on the mainland have a unique fondness for it.

The Shui sisters took the two pieces of whale glue, examined them curiously, and then looked up at Shen Hanyu:

"How...do I use this?"

Shen Hanyu patiently explained:

"Use your soul power to refine the outer hard shell and continuously catalyze the whale glue until it softens. However, I must warn you that whale glue doesn't taste very good; in fact, it's extremely difficult to swallow at first. Anyway, now I'll help you refine it."

After saying that, Shen Hanyu mobilized the scorching fire-attribute energy within his body, urging it to continuously refine the two thousand-year-old whale glue pieces.

As the scorching heat and a faint, fishy aroma slowly rose, Shuiyue couldn't help but swallow hard.

Shen Liuyu suppressed the smile on her lips. She was also initially misled by the smell, but she only truly understood the pain of it when she ate it later.

Fifteen minutes later.

Shen Hanyu slowly stopped channeling his soul power, let out a soft breath, and looked at the two lumps of whale glue in front of him that had turned into soft, fluffy pieces, and said:

"That's about it. Just one more thing to remind you two: hold on and be mentally prepared."

Shui Bing'er nodded solemnly and accepted one of the balls.

As the warm whale gelatin entered her mouth, Shui Bing'er's beautiful brows furrowed, and her complexion turned somewhat unpleasant. She chewed it with difficulty for a few moments, then gradually calmed down and finally swallowed it slowly.

Shen Hanyu smiled slightly. Shui Bing'er was quite capable to be able to endure the strong fishy smell of whale glue.

Shuiyue'er didn't change much. As soon as the whale gel entered her mouth, Shuiyue'er's face turned pale. She was about to spit it out when Shen Liuyu, who was laughing, tightly covered her mouth and forced it back down.

"Moon~ Be good~ Swallow it, okay? This is all good stuff, one bite is worth hundreds of gold soul coins!"

Tears welled up in Shuiyue'er's eyes. Despite Shen Liuyu's coercion and enticement, she still chewed a few bites. After a moment, Shuiyue'er's big eyes suddenly widened, a look of enjoyment appeared on her face, and she obediently swallowed it.

Shen Hanyu lifted the curtain of the carriage window a crack, letting the breeze from outside blow in and slightly dissipate the smell inside the carriage.

This was undoubtedly a painful but enjoyable process. Shen Hanyu sat to the side watching the Shui Bing'er sisters take the whale gelatin, while Shen Liuyu also sat back down.

Shuiyue'er was quite self-aware; although she initially rolled her eyes in discomfort, she persevered.

Compared to Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er was much more mature. Although she wasn't used to it, there wasn't much change on the surface. However, the occasional furrowed brows that quickly relaxed also proved that her mood was not calm and beautiful at the moment.

Shen Hanyu stopped looking and instead closed his eyes to rest.

He will have to do all the work for the Soul Hunting afterward. Although it is a very simple thing, the necessary Spirit Nourishing Equipment is still very necessary.

The self-cultivation of a master and a handsome guy.
