Chapter 32: Sisters' AgreementHearing Dai Youheng's words and seeing the two room cards he already held, the Lan Sisters immediately realized they had completely misunderstood, and instantly blushed so much they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.Their two pretty faces turned as red as ripe apples. Coupled with their delicate features and long blue hair, they looked particularly naive and adorable.Unfortunately, Dai Youheng was not in the mood for romance right now. He only wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible.Dai Youheng handed them the room card for the double room and then walked to his own room.The Lan Sisters took the room card, exchanged a glance, and both saw the embarrassment and "social death" awkwardness in each other's eyes. They let out a low whimper in unison, then, like startled bunnies, quickly dashed into their room and slammed the door shut.Back in his single room, Dai Youheng locked the door and simply set up a small warning barrier with his spirit power.Then, he eagerly took out two items from his storage ring: the dark, thousand-year-old whale glue and the pale gold soul ascension pill.He planned to consume both items tonight. The whale glue had medicinal properties to strengthen the body and cleanse the marrow, while the soul ascension pill purely enhanced spirit power. Not only did they not conflict, but they could complement and promote each other!One would increase spirit power in terms of "quantity," while the other would solidify the foundation and widen the "container" in terms of "quality."When combined, although it couldn't compare to the complete transformation and special abilities granted by true immortal-grade herbs, its effect on purely increasing cultivation and consolidating the foundation was absolutely not weak.He first held the hard, thousand-year-old whale glue in his palm. His internal spirit power circulated, rapidly raising the temperature of his palm.Under the high-temperature scorching, the originally rock-hard thousand-year-old whale glue gradually softened, becoming like black soft candy, emitting a strange, slightly fishy, rich aroma.Dai Youheng condensed his spirit power at his fingertips, like the sharpest small knife, cutting the softened whale glue into small pieces. Then he picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.The whale glue was not unpalatable; instead, it had a peculiar sweetness and gelatinous texture. As soon as it entered his abdomen, Dai Youheng immediately felt a distinct warm current rise between his chest and abdomen, warm and comfortable, not violent.This warm current rapidly spread to his limbs and bones. Wherever it passed, his muscles, bones, and meridians felt a slight itch, as if being nourished and strengthened.He no longer hesitated and took several pieces one after another. When more than half of the whale glue was in his stomach and the warm current within him had become quite immense, he quickly put the soul ascension pill into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it, simultaneously stuffing the last bit of remaining whale glue into his mouth!"Boom—!"The soul ascension pill melted upon entering his mouth, instantly transforming into an incredibly pure and immense torrent of energy that surged fiercely in his dantian, while the warm current from the thousand-year-old whale glue, which nourished the body and widened the meridians, also surged throughout his body at the opportune moment.The two powerful medicinal forces instantly merged!Dai Youheng dared not be negligent. He immediately sat cross-legged and fully circulated the cultivation technique he had obtained from the mysterious giant hand! This technique was overbearing and efficient. At this moment, it was like an efficient furnace, frantically refining and guiding the two medicinal forces, causing them to perfectly merge and accelerating their absorption.Within his body, his spirit power surged and grew at an unprecedented speed. His tendons and bones, under the cleansing of the whale glue's medicinal power, emitted a faint hum, like a taut bowstring, becoming tougher and able to accommodate more and stronger spirit power impacts!The bottleneck of rank thirty-nine was instantly broken through under the combined internal and external assault of these two powerful medicinal forces and the overbearing operation of that cultivation technique.Inside the room, Dai Youheng was enveloped in a faint black mist and golden light particles. His aura continuously rose, continuing to charge towards the threshold of rank forty!At this moment, in the adjacent double room, the blush on the faces of the Lan Sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, had not completely faded.The two sat side by side on the bed, and a hint of awkward and ambiguous atmosphere still lingered in the air."Sister." It was the more lively Lan Luoluo who finally spoke first, her voice soft, "Were we too embarrassing just now? Youheng Big Brother didn't mean it that way at all."Lan Susu also covered her still-hot cheeks, sighing, "Yes, we completely overthought it. But…"A complex expression appeared in her eyes, "Youheng Big Brother, he's really completely different from before.""Exactly, exactly!" Lan Luoluo immediately perked up, counting on her fingers, "Before, he always revolved around Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Bei Bei Senior. It felt… how should I put it? A bit subservient. But now, he seems not to care about anyone. He's indifferent to Wang Dong, dares to talk back directly to Xu Sanshi Senior, and I heard Zhou Sichen say he even dares to contradict Dai Yueheng Senior!"Lan Susu nodded in agreement, adding, "And did you notice, everything he's done since coming back this time seems to have a very strong purpose. Supporting Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin's bet was for a Spirit Bone and gold coins; buying that strange whale glue and soul ascension pill was to improve his strength; even buying that snow lotus was to prepare for absorbing a spirit ring beyond his rank in the future. All his actions seem to serve the words 'become stronger.' That feeling is very calm and very mature."They recalled Dai Youheng's always calm eyes, concise and powerful words, and the occasional aloof aura that seemed to float apart from everyone else.Coupled with his already very handsome appearance and the top-tier talent brought by his Evil Shadow Demonic Tiger Spirit.The two young girls, in the first flush of love, felt their heartbeats involuntarily quicken a few beats."Sister." Lan Luoluo's voice carried a hint of shyness and uncertainty, "Do you think we might be a little bit in love with the current Youheng Big Brother?"Lan Susu didn't answer immediately, but her slightly flushed cheeks and flickering eyes had already betrayed her thoughts. She softly hummed, acknowledging it.A brief silence fell in the room. The sisters had been almost inseparable since childhood, with a very close bond and often shared preferences. It was not strange for them to develop feelings for the same boy at the same time.After a while, Lan Susu, as the elder sister, calmed down first. She took her sister's hand and said seriously, "Luoluo, the current Youheng Big Brother is indeed very attractive, completely different from before. It's normal for us to have feelings for him."As she spoke, her tone suddenly became serious, "But, we are sisters, the closest people. We absolutely cannot let a boy ruin our relationship."Lan Luoluo also nodded vigorously, "Mm, Sister, you're right, we'll always be good sisters!"Lan Susu thought for a moment and proposed a suggestion, "Then how about we make a pact? We can both try to get closer to Youheng Big Brother, but each by our own abilities. In the end, no matter who Youheng Big Brother likes more or chooses, the other cannot resent them, and certainly cannot let it ruin our sisterly bond. We must also sincerely bless the other. Can we do that?""Okay!" Lan Luoluo immediately agreed, her eyes sparkling again, "Each by our own abilities, that's very fair! Anyway, no matter what, you're my favorite sister!""You're my favorite sister too." Lan Susu also smiled, extending her pinky finger, "Pinky promise!""Pinky promise!"Two slender pinky fingers hooked together, completing a solemn pact between two young girls about kinship and nascent love.With the pact made, both felt much lighter in their hearts. They exchanged smiles, and the previous awkward atmosphere was swept away."Alright, stop overthinking." Lan Susu picked up the small box containing the soul ascension pill, "Youheng Big Brother specifically told us to take it tonight. We can't waste his kindness and such a precious pill.""Mm." Lan Luoluo also picked up her own soul ascension pill, her eyes full of anticipation, "I wonder how many ranks we can advance after absorbing this pill? Maybe we can directly reach rank thirty!"The two said no more, each sitting cross-legged, adjusting their breathing. With anticipation for increased strength and the subtly changing feelings for a certain young man, they took the pale gold soul ascension pill and soon immersed themselves in cultivation.The room gradually grew quiet, with only two subtle but continuously strengthening spirit power fluctuations silently echoing.
