Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 272 Do you even know what it means to be in your prime?

Then Bai Yu tossed the wooden box into Tang Yunhua's hands, rolled her eyes at her, and said irritably:
"What poison? With your skills, do you really need poison to control you? Go ahead and do whatever you want, but what kind of mess can you possibly make?"

"That's the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng King, a rare and precious herb second only to immortal herbs. As for its function, it's very simple: it's used to quickly enhance soul power."

"After absorbing this stuff, in addition to directly raising your level by six or seven, its remaining medicinal power will also accumulate in your body, making your cultivation speed extremely fast."

Tang Yuehua looked at the wooden box in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, her lips moved a few times, and she said with some confusion:

"Why are you giving me this? Do you want me to quickly increase my strength so I can do something for you?"

"However, with your status, you should be able to find anyone you want, right? Why waste this on me?"

Tang Yuehua believed Bai Yu's words; the ten-thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng King in her hand should indeed be able to quickly increase soul power.

But she just couldn't understand why Baiyu would give her such a good thing. Even if he wanted her to improve her strength and work for him, he didn't have to go to such lengths.
Upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Bai Yu waved his hand and said calmly:

"You're overthinking it. Even if I wanted to find someone to do something, I couldn't find a Soul Master like you."

"Just like you said, I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and there are plenty of people who want to do things for me. You? You're not even in the running."

"As for why I gave you this Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng King, it's simply because I want you to level up quickly."

"After all, a Soul Master's lifespan will not change before breaking through to the title level, and although your talent is good, you are at the 9th level of the Innate Realm."

"But you are indeed getting on in years. If you don't break through the title soon, your beautiful face will disappear."

"I don't want my maid to have a wrinkled face and look old and frail in the future; that would be too embarrassing."

Tang Yuehua's face turned ugly, and she glared fiercely at Bai Yu, wishing she could bite him to death.

To be honest, even when she was threatened last night, she only felt a little desperate, not this angry.

But now she's really angry. After all, even the most composed woman can't accept someone making fun of her age.

Moreover, Bai Yu wasn't joking at all; he directly confronted Tang Yuehua in the face, unleashing his full power on the spot.

However, Bai Yu didn't care about Tang Yuehua's feelings, after all, he wasn't wrong, this woman was indeed quite old.

But unlike Liu Erlong, her soul power level was too low. Even with the help of the notebook, she didn't know when she could break through the title by cultivating on her own.

Then Baiyu waved his hand, and six more lead boxes appeared in front of him. He then took a piece of the Life Gold, made it into a necklace, and threw it into Tang Yuehua's hand.

"Inside these six lead boxes is a set of soul bones that are over 70,000 years old, although they don't quite match your martial soul."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. Your martial soul ability is too unique, making it virtually impossible to find a suitable soul bone."

"After you finish consuming the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng King, absorb another Soul Bone, which should allow you to directly reach around level 50."

"After that, every five levels you go through, you will absorb a soul bone to quickly increase your soul power."

"As for that necklace, it is made of living gold, and I have also engraved a spirit-gathering array on it. Wearing it will greatly increase your cultivation speed."

"I'll teach you my cultivation technique later. With these things, as long as you work hard, you should be able to break through to the Title Douluo realm within about five years." "Although your Title Douluo might be a bit weak, basically the weakest among its peers, it's still a Title Douluo."

"Anyway, I don't expect you to fight. As long as you can extend your lifespan and preserve your pretty face, that's enough."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, Tang Yuehua looked at the pile of things in front of her, grinding her teeth, her face turning pale and then red.

Although these things are all treasures, things she could never have obtained before, it would be a lie to say she didn't want them.

However, while she wanted it, the way she got it was so shameful.

It turned out that Baiyu gave her these things because he thought she was too old. How could she accept this? As the dignified mistress of Yuexuan Pavilion, didn't she have any dignity?
Bai Yu looked at Tang Yuehua, who was still standing there blankly without moving, and frowned, saying in a teasing tone:

"What? You don't want it? Then give it back to me. But if you don't want it, when your beauty fades, I'll find a villager to marry you off."

"Anyway, I can't possibly keep an old maid around. It would ruin my glorious image."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Tang Yuehua immediately glared at him fiercely, inwardly cursing him as a scoundrel.

A glorious image? She didn't see anything glorious about Bai Yu at all. To her, he was nothing but a treacherous villain!

Tang Yuehua then took a deep breath and put away everything in front of her, muttering to herself as she did so, "Why not take what's free!"

For Tang Yuehua, taking things from Baiyu's hands didn't make her feel guilty at all; she even wished she could just empty Baiyu's chest.

After all, the more her enemies lose, the more she gains. Besides, the items are now in her hands, so isn't that double the happiness?
After Tang Yuehua put everything away, she opened the wooden box in her hand, looked at the blood-red ginseng inside, and frowned.

"How do we use this? Do we just eat it?"

Baiyu scratched the corner of his mouth and shook his head, saying:

"No, you just need to bite a hole in it and suck out the juice inside."

"Of course, its outer skin also has the same medicinal effect, but compared to the juice, it doesn't taste very good. It's not only bitter, but also hard to chew."

"So if you don't mind, after you've sucked out the juice, you can eat the outer skin as well, which will also enhance the medicinal effect."

After listening to Bai Yu's description, Tang Yuehua sat back on the bed, took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng King from the wooden box, bit open a hole in it, and began to suck the juice inside.

After sucking it clean, he stuffed the dried-out outer skin back into his mouth and chewed it expressionlessly.

It's not that she likes bitter tastes, but rather that she was deeply affected by Baiyu's words.

What do you mean she's too old? She's in her prime, you know?

However, no matter how stubborn she was, Tang Yuehua was aware of her own situation.

She knew Bai Yu was right. If she couldn't break through the title barrier as soon as possible, even with soul power to support her and the best care she could take, she would still grow old one day.
