Chapter 68

After a little while, the pace slowed down here for both Hei Yao and Bai Di.

Si Lu knew that they were about to finish! But they were already amazing.

Hei Yao and Bai Di were far more powerful than her and Cheng Mo!

However, Si Lu and the others saw purple light radiating from both Hei Yao and Bai Di, indicating that the two had successfully advanced.

They had successfully moved from the blue rank to the purple rank of Beastmen.

Cheng Mo knew that drinking this spirit spring water for the first time had a lot of benefits.

Sure enough, they all successfully advanced.

He could tell that the purple light around Hei Yao was more intense than Bai Di's, which was normal. Even with the same level of power, there were differences in strength.

After all, Hei Yao was skilled in combat, whereas Bai Di was not. On the contrary, Bai Di focused on studying medicine.

So, the purple light on Bai Di was a bit weaker.

Now, their overall strength had increased.

That would make their journey to the seaside much safer.

When Hei Yao finished the last barrel of spirit spring water, he directly transformed into a giant black python and swiftly slithered away, without saying a word or even leaving a glance!

Meanwhile, Bai Di also finished the last barrel of spirit spring water.

At this point, his once snow-white fur was already dirty and had a strange odor. When he realized it, his face immediately turned red.

"I... I need to take a bath!" Bai Di quickly rushed out.

He looked so messy! Still, he wondered if the little female from before would dislike him!

Si Lu looked at their backs and couldn't help but smile.

Haha, it's just like when they first started.

"Now, their strength has increased, making Si Lu's safety more assured," Cheng Mo said, looking at Si Lu.

"Hehe, do you guys want to drink?" Si Lu asked Cheng Mo and Song Zhan.

As for strength or whatever, if they were able to improve, great, but if not, she wouldn't be disappointed.

After all, it wasn't guaranteed. It mainly depended on their physical condition and potential.

"Drink it. Even if I don't advance, it's good to strengthen my body." Song Zhan was the first to speak.

Of course!

Beastmen craved powerful strength, and the males were even more so.

Seeing Hei Yao and Bai Di surpassing them, he felt a bit upset and unwilling.

If this continues, he would really be outclassed.

How could that be?

He wouldn't accept it!

Hmph! Bai Di didn't compete with the others, but Hei Yao really wanted to challenge them.

"I'll drink it too," Cheng Mo also said.

Actually, he felt the same way.

After all, he was Si Lu's first beast husband, so he naturally had to strive to improve his strength.

Now that some beastmen had surpassed him, it didn't feel great, but there was nothing he could do.

Song Zhan was so eager for strength, so he was the same. "Alright, I'll fill the spirit spring water for you," Si Lu said, then filled all four barrels and gave them to drink.

Song Zhan transformed into a tiger and stood up, using his two big paws to hug the big barrel, drinking loudly.

He didn't spill any; it all went into his mouth.

As for Cheng Mo, he didn't transform into his beast form. He just used both hands to hug the barrel and started drinking.

Both of them drank enthusiastically.

Si Lu sat by the fire, holding the buckets for them while roasting the fire. The starry night sky was quite beautiful.

Soon, both Cheng Mo and Song Zhan drank four to five barrels and couldn't drink anymore. They had reached their limit!

However, their bodies had been greatly strengthened.

This could be considered a gain.

Not advancing was a bit regrettable, but there was no strong desire to force it.

"It's fine, you're both strong enough now. Besides, maybe you'll get an opportunity to improve soon," Si Lu smiled and comforted them.

"Mm, it's okay. You don't need to comfort us. Actually, we understand. Some things depend on chance and luck. Also, we've already improved once, so we're quite satisfied," Cheng Mo said.

"Not only that, even though we didn't advance this time, I feel my body has been strengthened a lot, and Song Zhan probably feels the same. Our bodies have been reinforced, and that's already great!" Cheng Mo added.

Yes!

To know that in order to strengthen the body, one would have to constantly hunt and kill powerful beasts and eat their flesh, but hunting isn't always safe, and even more so, it's not easy.

This spirit spring water not only helped them advance but also strengthened their bodies, which was really something to be thankful for.

At this point, Hei Yao returned!

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Si Lu's smiling face. In a flash, he arrived at her side, his dark purple eyes full of affection.

"Lu Lu, I've reached the purple rank. I can protect you even better now," Hei Yao said with intense emotion.

He felt really touched!

Such precious water, and Si Lu gave it to him without hesitation. He drank so much and leveled up—it really moved him.

With his strength improved, he could protect her even better, and that made him so happy!

"Mm, awesome," Si Lu smiled and praised.

Hei Yao raised the corner of his mouth, clearly happy!

"I drank a lot earlier. You didn't drink all the water, right?" Hei Yao asked with concern.

If he drank it all...

"Lu Lu, actually, something this precious, you should keep for yourself. You can also improve your strength, and it can strengthen your body. Giving it to us is not really worth it. You should keep it for yourself. When your body improves, we'll all be happy, don't worry!" Hei Yao crouched down in front of Si Lu, his handsome face filled with reluctance.

He knew that no matter what, things couldn't last forever.

And drinking water that could enhance strength made him feel uneasy, but now that it was done, there was no other choice.

He could only protect Si Lu even better.

"Yeah, this water is really too precious. If other beastmen find out, they'll definitely try to take it from you, Lu Lu. Of course, using it on us isn't worth it. You can use it to strengthen your body, and you can advance as well. We will eventually reach the same level," Bai Di also came back, walking over to Si Lu with deep affection.

"There's no such thing as worth or not worth. It's all about willingness," Si Lu smiled and said as she looked at each of her beast husbands with love.

Worth or not?

That doesn't even exist. It's about whether you're willing to do something, or to give!
