Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

As they walked out of Ye Family Pharmacy carrying whale glue and dragged Ouyang Ling into a quiet alley, they stopped in their tracks.

The next second, "duang~!"

Qian Renxue curled her fingers and slammed her fist down heavily.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Ouyang Ling cried out in pain, clutching his head as if he could feel a bump on his scalp, but his eyes were filled with guilt.

Who told me to do something so strange?

It's all my fault for what I did a moment ago, that I'm making him suffer now.

At this moment, Ouyang Ling forced himself to let his mind wander, in order to avoid Qian Renxue's gaze and fear that she would strike again with her powerful punch.

I'll act obedient first and let Sister Xue'er calm down.

"Speak, what do you have to explain to me?"

Seeing Ouyang Ling lower his head and remain motionless, looking like he was "listening to a lesson," Qian Renxue suppressed her anger and shook the packaged whale glue. "You know what this is for, right?"

"Know."

Ouyang Ling raised her head slightly, glancing at Qian Renxue's expression out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that she adopted an attitude of "Let me hear how you try to justify yourself," she hurriedly recited the description of whale glue from the book.

—A powerful tonic for Yang, replenishing Qi and blood…

"uh-huh?"

Qian Renxue crossed her arms over her chest, remaining noncommittal.

"Anything else? Read the second half of the sentence too."

"...for the pleasures of the bedroom."

Ouyang Ling lowered his voice, as if he had already said everything.

"hehe--"

A cold smile crept across Qian Renxue's lips, her gaze turning dangerously intense. "Then why did you buy this whale glue?! It's an aphrodisiac! Do you understand what an aphrodisiac is? How old are you, getting involved in these things?!"

"Whoosh—"

Before Ouyang Ling could react, Qian Renxue had already released her arms and suddenly reached out with her right hand to grab his ear.

Feeling the warmth from her earlobe, Ouyang Ling's expression changed drastically in an instant. Before Qian Renxue could even exert any force…

"Sister! Let me explain!"

Qian Renxue frowned and said irritably:

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you want to say?"

"But wasn't it you who asked me to explain?"

In her haste, Ouyang Ling used Qian Renxue's own words to shut her up, which caused her right hand to loosen its grip.

Although my ears are free, but...

Qian Renxue's expression grew even colder.

He raised his chin and then remained silent.

goo-dong-

Ouyang Ling swallowed hard and quickly said.

"Sister, I think it's a misunderstanding that whale gel can only be used as an aphrodisiac. Look, the description of whale gel's effects as 'for bedroom pleasure' is a conclusion drawn from someone's experience."

"But to conclude from this that whale gelatin only has one aphrodisiac effect, isn't that a bit too simplistic?"

Worried about getting beaten up

Ouyang Ling spoke quickly, but also very clearly.

Qian Renxue, who knew her younger brother had a lot of ideas, was also swayed by Ouyang Ling's words and stood there pondering.

"So you discovered that whale glue has other uses?"

"Improve physical fitness."

"Because what's truly important isn't the summary that 'extremely yang-tonifying and replenishes qi and blood,' which directly points to the essence of whale collagen? Perhaps many people have simply overlooked this point."

Ouyang Ling was very serious because this was crucial to whether he could successfully absorb a higher-level spirit ring in his second spirit ring.

After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue suddenly spoke:

"What you say makes sense. Once a person who is very authoritative in medicine has clearly defined the aphrodisiac effect of whale gelatin, most people with ambition will look down on it and ignore it. Those who are interested in the 'aphrodisiac' effect are just fools among the nobility who will not bother to study whether it has any other effects besides 'aphrodisiac'."

Ouyang Ling: "..."

He hadn't thought about it that way.

However, Qian Renxue's line of thinking is actually quite reasonable. Otherwise, how could whale glue have been discovered to have real effects thousands of years later?

After launching into a tirade and venting her frustrations, Qian Renxue's mood, which had been slightly irritated, immediately improved.

She glanced at the whale glue in her hand and handed it aside.

The next second, She Long suddenly appeared and took it.

Ouyang Lingquan watched all of this from the sidelines.

He knew that if there were any benefits, he would definitely be included.

"Elder She Long, have someone test whether the whale glue has the effect of improving physical fitness. It would be best to find a support-type soul master. Their physical fitness is poor, so it would be the easiest way to test whether their physical fitness can be improved."

"Yes, young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, She Long disappeared again.

Ouyang Ling remained silent: "..."

No, no, no—she's not even trying to hide it anymore. Before, she was calling him "Grandpa" and "Miss" in front of him.

"Little Zero, does it still hurt?"

Just as Ouyang Ling was silently complaining, Qian Renxue placed her hand on his head, her eyes flashing with guilt and regret. Had she used too much force just now?

But most importantly, I realized that I had indeed misunderstood.

In that instant, Ouyang Ling had already put his inner grumbling to the back of his mind.

"It doesn't hurt. Grandpa She Long's beatings during training hurt much more than this."

"Haha, you're even tattlering on me."

Distracted by this, Qian Renxue smiled and led Ouyang Ling out of the alley. As they walked, she asked, "What gift do you want?"

Ouyang Ling asked in bewilderment:

"Is this an apology or a reward?"

Qian Renxue didn't seem to care, and casually said, "Then let's give two gifts. Choose carefully."

"Then I want the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, not the small one."

"Can."

Qian Renxue also had her own judgment on Ouyang Ling's point of view, and believed that the matter of improving physical fitness was probably quite accurate.

Of course, if Elder Shelong's reply is unacceptable, that doesn't prevent me from reneging on my promise of the "Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue" reward. Perhaps even Xiao Ling himself will voluntarily give it up once he finds out.

But thinking about the market situation of Wan Nian Whale Glue on the mainland, Qian Renxue, who had just agreed, suddenly added, "By the way, if you want Wan Nian Whale Glue, you may have to wait for quite a while."

Why?

Ouyang Ling looked up, a puzzled expression on his face.

Qian Renxue then provided an explanation.

In an era where whale glue was simply regarded as "sexual pleasure," ten-thousand-year-old whale glue was extremely rare, as it was only produced by ten-thousand-year-old whale-type soul beasts.

However, the ocean is dangerous. The ancient whale-like spirit beasts live far in the deep sea and are very powerful, making them impossible for ordinary spirit masters to hunt.

And what about the Soul Masters who can be hunted?

Who needs whale gel to make money?

Under such circumstances, if whale glue is needed for aphrodisiac purposes, a hundred or a thousand years would be sufficient.

Ten thousand years? How incredibly long would that be?

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ling couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

Because he was just one step away from level 20.

Although his physique has improved considerably with the resources provided by Qian Renxue in the past two years, he has definitely not reached the threshold of crossing from a hundred years to a thousand years for his second soul ring.

We'll need a few more pieces of ancient whale glue to make it safe.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Ouyang Ling was distracted, Qian Renxue asked him aloud.

"I'm wondering if I can get a few pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue before level 20 to boost my physique a bit more."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue sensed that something was amiss.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to absorb a spirit ring that's higher level than me!"

"Are you out of your mind?!"

Qian Renxue glared at Ouyang Ling, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. With your current physical condition, absorbing eight or nine hundred years of essence wouldn't be a problem. You want to absorb a few pieces of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue before jumping to a higher level? Are you trying to skip directly to a thousand years?!"

"Eh—"

Ouyang Ling, who claimed to be selectively listening, looked surprised and asked, "Sister, why didn't you say that my second spirit ring should absorb the one from 764?"

"Don't try to change the subject."

Qian Renxue said irritably:

"Everyone's situation is different, so the time limit for absorbing a spirit ring can't be generalized. 764 years? That's the time limit for the second spirit ring given by that so-called master. The book 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls' has many flaws; at most, it can only be used as a reference for ordinary spirit masters with poor talent. Who showed you that?"

Who else could it be?

Of course, he found it himself.

Cough cough--

Seeing that the topic had been successfully changed, Ouyang Ling wanted to "make a quick getaway".

Just as they were about to continue the conversation about the "master," Qian Renxue abruptly steered them back to the main topic, "Come on, tell me, were you just thinking about a second spirit ring that would last a thousand years?"

The words had barely left his mouth when, in the next second, Ouyang Ling was pulled into Qian Renxue's arms. Before he could even feel the softness against his back, those slender yet strong arms encircled his neck, a bent fist pressed against the top of his head, and then…

"Ouch—ouch—, sister, be gentle—"

"Gently? Don't you think so?!"

"Yes, yes, yes—"

"Plop—" The moment Ouyang Ling admitted it, Qian Renxue released the "restraint" and let him fall to the ground.

But when Ouyang Ling patted his butt and looked up, he was met with Qian Renxue's indescribable eyes.

"elder sister?"

For a moment, Ouyang Ling hesitated.

"Xiao Ling, the energy levels of a thousand-year spirit ring and a hundred-year spirit ring are different. It's too risky for you to try to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring."

Qian Renxue bent down, but instead of forcefully demanding that Ouyang Ling forbid it, she uttered those words:

You have to convince me!

This is the same information given when obtaining the first spirit ring. However, one concerns the type of spirit skill, while the other concerns the age of the spirit ring.

"So... is this the second gift?"

Ouyang Ling wanted to crack a joke to ease the tension.

The result was, "Hehe—"

Qian Renxue was so angry she laughed!

"boom--"

After a heavy, muffled thud, Ouyang Ling covered his head, which was still steaming and slightly protruding, his face contorted in a slightly ferocious expression.

Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her tone calm.

"Be serious! Speak properly!"

"Then let the facts speak for themselves."

Lowering his hand, Ouyang Ling's eyes flashed with determination. The second ring of a thousand years was just the beginning; he still needed the fourth ring of ten thousand years, and the sixth ring of a hundred thousand years—he had to surpass Tang San from the original story.

"What facts speak for themselves?"

"Real combat, soul suppression."

Qian Renxue lowered her eyes and looked intently at Ouyang Ling.

"Can."

To be honest, she didn't quite understand why Ouyang Ling was so stubborn about the second ring of the millennium.

This difference may be obvious in the early stages, but it becomes insignificant when one's cultivation truly becomes powerful.

Therefore, in the early stages, it's best to play it safe.

In the end, however, Qian Renxue chose to respect her younger brother's decision.
