Chapter 8: Taking Advantage of Hu Liena, the Dog Licker Yan Exploded!
"Hunting three spirit rings within two and a half days?"
"The total age must not be less than 15,000 years?!"
Such harsh conditions made Ye Han slightly stunned. This meant that the first spirit ring would need to be thousands of years old.
"Make good use of my physique, and the second test will be twice as effective with half the effort."
At this moment, the Dragon God's eyes lit up, and Ye Han was suddenly pulled back to reality.
As soon as he returned, Ling Yuan's concerned voice reached his ears:
"Xiao Han, what's wrong? Are you sleepy?"
Ye Han hurriedly shook his head and responded, "Ah... No, no."
Ling Yuan smiled in relief. "Let's go, there's a clothing store ahead."
Ye Han nodded, still thinking about the Dragon God's second test in his mind. It seemed that he would have to ask Sister Ling Yuan about whale glue later. Regardless of whether it could open up a holy body for cultivation, he needed to obtain it. Whale glue was a great tonic for ordinary physiques and could increase the age at which spirit rings could be absorbed.
If he didn't strengthen his physique, he wouldn't be able to absorb higher-aged spirit rings and complete the second test.
As time passed, Ling Yuan bought clothes for Ye Han, and they returned to the courtyard. On the way back, Ye Han couldn't hold back his curiosity and suddenly asked:
"Sister Ling Yuan, do you know about whale glue?"
Ling Yuan was startled at first, then her pretty face flushed as she responded coquettishly, "Who told you about this? Children aren't allowed to ask about such things!"
Her words were slightly reproachful, but Ye Han could sense the underlying shyness.
It wasn't surprising though. Whale glue was a special tonic derived from sea soul beasts. It had a powerful effect on replenishing the nutrients and energy needed by the human body and improving bodily functions.
In the original story, Huo Yuhao consumed a piece of 10,000-year-old whale glue, which allowed him to withstand spirit rings up to more than 2,000 years old. However, only whale glue from long-lived sea beasts had such miraculous effects. Short-aged whale glue had far less of an impact.
After taking whale glue from younger sea beasts, the human body would experience excessive yang energy and body heat, making it more of a yang-enhancing tonic.
The whale glue sold in markets was typically of short age, which was why Ling Yuan might have misunderstood that Ye Han was asking about something inappropriate.
"No... no," Ye Han quickly shook his head, his big eyes blinking as he explained, "Sister Lingyuan, you misunderstood. I want to use whale glue to improve my physical fitness."
"Do you know where I can find whale glue that's aged? Can you help me get some?"
Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she said in surprise, "Huh? You little guy, you actually know that whale glue has the miraculous effect of improving physical fitness?!"
She paused, then continued, thinking that Ye Han might have heard about it somewhere. She smiled and said:
"You've asked the right person. When I attacked Sea God Island years ago, I got a few pieces of whale glue by chance and have kept them until now."
"I'll give you some when we go back, as a gift for you to worship me as your master."
Ye Han was surprised, recalling that the Spirit Hall had attacked Sea God Island in the original book, and exclaimed:
"Great! Sister Lingyuan, how old are those pieces of whale glue?"
Ling Yuan pinched Ye Han's little face, smiling as she replied, "You'll find out when we get back. Anyway, the age is not low~"
Ye Han was ecstatic. If Ling Yuan, a Titled Douluo, said it was not low, it must be... at least a few thousand years old! Just the thought of it made him excited!
Suddenly, a commotion echoed in the distance.
"Ah! Someone's killing people! Run!!!"
The bustling streets quickly became chaotic.
A man, holding a sharp blade, was seen chasing civilians while roaring angrily:
"You damn low-class people, I will kill you all!"
Ye Han and Ling Yuan saw the man's face clearly and were stunned.
This person was none other than the soul master from the Awakening Hall. It seemed he had been stripped of his spirit power and expelled from the Spirit Hall. Now, he seemed unable to bear the stimulation and wanted to take revenge on society.
Ling Yuan frowned. As an elder, she instinctively stepped forward to stop him.
"Xiao Han, stay here and don't move. Sister will go deal with that lunatic!"
Ling Yuan gently put Ye Han down and moved towards the commotion.
Ye Han stayed where he was, watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Suddenly, three figures appeared from the side, rushing out like lightning.
They quickly made their way toward the chaotic street, instantly catching Ye Han's attention.
The figure in the lead was a woman who looked about twelve years old.
She had delicate features and charming orange-gold short hair. She wore a gilded long skirt that accentuated her plump body to the fullest. As she ran, the long skirt swayed in the wind, and her slender legs were visible beneath it.
The two figures behind her were men, wearing black and red clothes respectively.
"Is that Bibi Dong's disciple Hu Liena?!"
"And Hu Liena's brother Xie Yue, and Hu Liena's lackey Yan?!"
Ye Han recognized them at a glance and was stunned.
It must be said that Hu Liena's appearance and figure were truly top-notch. No wonder she could be ranked alongside Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong as one of the three beauties of the Spirit Hall.
Looking at their trajectory, it seemed they also planned to stop the crazy soul master.
Perhaps it was fate.
While running, Hu Liena suddenly noticed Ye Han. He was small, and there was no adult around him, making him stand out.
Her heart softened, a natural desire to protect weak lives rising within her.
"Why is the little brother here alone? What if he encounters danger?"
Hu Liena thought to herself, then turned around and ran toward Ye Han.
"Nana, where are you going?!"
Xie Yue and Yan stopped, exclaiming at the same time before following her.
Hu Liena quickly reached Ye Han, a gentle smile on her face.
"Little brother, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
Ye Han was stunned for a moment and didn't expect her to rush over like this.
When Ye Han didn't respond, Hu Liena thought he was scared. She immediately bent down, gently picking him up and comforting him:
"Don't be afraid, little brother. Sister will take you to find your parents."
"Ah?!"
Ye Han was even more stunned when she suddenly hugged him.
Xie Yue and Yan saw this. Xie Yue didn't react, but Yan immediately became jealous and said, dissatisfied:
"Nana, don't worry about this brat. The first thing we need to do now is control the chaos over there!"
Hu Liena rolled her eyes at him and shouted coldly:
"Don't you see how dangerous and pitiful this little brother is here alone?!"
After that, she ignored Yan and looked at Ye Han in her arms, coaxing him:
"Little brother, sister will take you to a safe place now, okay?"
Ye Han nodded, but he also felt a surge of anger when he saw Yan's attitude. How had he offended him? Why was he being called a "stinky brat" for no reason?
The more Ye Han thought about it, the angrier he became, and soon an idea for revenge formed in his mind.
He buried his head in Hu Liena's arms and made trouble.
Although Hu Liena wasn't as experienced as Ling Yuan in this aspect, she was quite skilled for her age.
"Ah?!"
Hu Liena's pretty face turned red, but she didn't think too much of it. She suppressed her feelings and took Ye Han away.
"Asshole! How dare that brat bury his head in Nana's...!"
Yan was completely furious when he saw this, and was about to chase after them.
Xie Yue grabbed Yan by the shoulders and said, speechlessly:
"Isn't he just a kid? You're jealous of a kid?!"
Ye Han, being carried away, witnessed this scene and made a face at Yan, feeling quite relieved.
Yan was furious, swearing in his heart that if he ever met this little brat again, he would definitely destroy him.
