"Alas," Ma Hongjun and Oscar sighed. "Boss Dai is finished. He actually couldn't beat Zhuqing. He's truly finished. A Level 38 Attack System Spirit Elder couldn't beat a Level 29 Agility-Attack System Spirit Grandmaster."
Dai Mubai's expression instantly turned even uglier when he heard Ma Hongjun's words. "Fatty, Little Ao, you two just wait. Tomorrow, we'll train one-on-one!"
This time, it was Ma Hongjun and Oscar's turn for their expressions to turn ugly. "I'm going back to cultivate first!" Each of them threw out a sentence and quickly ran back to their dorms.
Dai Mubai slowly walked up to Ye Yin. He didn't say a word, just stared at him.
[Resentment from Dai Mubai +20!]
[Resentment from Dai Mubai +21!]
...
Ye Yin clearly saw Dai Mubai's resentment continuously increasing. "Alas, let's go, let's have a chat." Ye Yin dropped a sentence and walked to the side. Dai Mubai silently followed.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Ye Yin asked as he walked. "I know all about what happened between you and Zhuqing."
Dai Mubai snorted coldly. "And then what? What do you want to say? You took my fiancée, what more do you want to say? Are you going to mock me?"
Ye Yin slowly said, "Actually, I can also help your spirit improve a bit."
Dai Mubai's eyes instantly lit up. He didn't know where he got the strength, but he suddenly flashed in front of Ye Yin, almost kneeling down. "Is it true? Godfather!"
Such a rapid change stunned Ye Yin. "No, Dai Mubai, where's your backbone as the dignified Second Prince of Star Luo?"
Dai Mubai waved his hand casually. "Backbone means nothing. Can you survive with backbone? But improving my spirit can truly help me survive! Godfather! As long as you can help me improve my strength, I will absolutely not interfere in your and Zhu Zhuqing's affairs again. Actually, I fully support you two. Our marriage was just a political alliance. There's no emotional foundation. You two are truly destined! Isn't it better for me to take care of my own twins? I don't want to get involved in royal affairs either! As long as you can help me improve my spirit, from now on, if Godfather tells me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to feed the dogs, I will absolutely not chase chickens!"
Ye Yin rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, stop calling me Godfather. This is a soul cleansing pill."
In reality, it was just a tiny bit Ye Yin had scraped off a soul cleansing fruit, then mixed with a bit of dog poop and rolled into a ball. "It can help your spirit improve, but how much it can improve, I don't know."
Dai Mubai's eyes instantly gleamed as he looked at the soul cleansing pill. He felt a strong urge to eat it. "I'm telling you, this soul cleansing pill isn't effective if you just eat it directly. You must first smell surströmming for seven days and seven nights. Let it thoroughly marinate you. Then you also have to drink the surströmming broth. Only then can you consume it. If you can't hold out and consume it early, the effect will be poor. The main thing is the surströmming; the main effect of this soul cleansing pill is to stimulate you. Don't say I didn't warn you. Don't tell anyone about this."
Dai Mubai took another box of surströmming and nodded heavily. "I knew it, the path to improvement is never that easy. But I will definitely persevere! Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret!"
Dai Mubai excitedly returned to his dorm with the two items, no longer showing any resentment. But soon, Ye Yin saw resentment continuously being generated again. This time, not only was Dai Mubai providing it, but Ma Hongjun was also continuously providing resentment points.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
...
Strong retching sounds continuously came from Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's dorm. Ma Hongjun, dazed by the smell, came in front of Ye Yin, shaking his head.
"Brother Yin, what kind of confusing potion did you give Boss Dai? He returned to the dorm and kept sniffing that box of surströmming with all his might. He was retching and sniffing at the same time. Anyone who didn't know would think he was a Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest that got poisoned by stinky surströmming tofu stew."
Ye Yin waved his hand. "Oh, you mean that? I accidentally discovered that smelling surströmming and drinking its broth has a chance to improve spirit quality."
Ma Hongjun's eyes instantly widened. "What?! There's such a thing?! No wonder! Brother Yin, why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Ma Hongjun quickly ran back into the room, closed the door, and even used clothes to tightly block the gaps, fearing that even a little bit of the surströmming smell would escape.
"Fatty, you..."
"Ugh!"
"What are you doing?!"
Ma Hongjun chuckled. "Ugh! Boss Dai, you didn't tell me about such a good thing! Ugh! So, smelling this scent has a chance to improve spirit quality! Ugh! I'll smell it too! Ugh!"
Dai Mubai knew that Ye Yin had told Fatty. However, without the stimulation of the soul cleansing pill, it would probably be difficult to succeed. But since Fatty was suffering with him, it actually didn't feel so tiring anymore.
"You found out after all. Since that's the case, then let's both smell it together. And eat it together. Ugh!"
[Resentment from Dai Mubai +10!]
[Resentment from Ma Hongjun +10!]
...
Watching the continuously generated resentment points from the two, Ye Yin was so happy he didn't know what to say. He felt like he had discovered a shortcut to obtaining a large amount of resentment points.
...
Seven days later, while Ma Hongjun wasn't paying attention, Dai Mubai turned and popped the soul cleansing pill into his mouth. Instantly, a faint fragrance and a strong smell of shit bloomed in his mouth, almost making Dai Mubai spit out the soul cleansing pill. A faint trace of soul cleansing fruit power landed on the White Tiger, and a faint wisp of black energy emanated from the White Tiger. Dai Mubai instantly felt all his attributes increase slightly. The White Tiger phantom involuntarily appeared behind him, making his White Tiger phantom even more majestic. However, compared to Zhu Zhuqing's, it was still far inferior. He had only eaten a tiny bit, while she had eaten several.
"My spirit quality really improved!"
"Boss Dai, your spirit quality improved!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed.
"Holy crap, you actually really improved! We both smelled it for seven days! Why don't I have any reaction?"
Dai Mubai smirked, "How can it be that easy? It's all a matter of chance. It's possible at any second, but the probability is extremely low. Some people improve instantly, like Zhuqing, but I only improved after smelling it for seven days. But you, after seven days, still have no reaction."
Ma Hongjun sighed. "Alas, it's true. No, I have to keep smelling surströmming from now on. I'll cultivate while smelling surströmming. Then I'll eat the surströmming too! I refuse to believe I won't improve!"
