In the evening, Langya Palace.
"General, General, General!!"
Having just returned from XiuWu Pavilion, little loli Su Qiluo rushed upstairs as soon as she entered the door of her own Langya Palace.
"General, I'm back."
"Are you feeling better?"
Rushing into Du ke's ear room where Duke had just moved in, Su Qiluo saw Duke lying grumpily in his cat bed, with little fat man Yue Yun covered in bloody handprints standing beside him.
"Young lady, I pay my respects to you!"
Seeing Su Qiluo come in, Yue Yun knelt down on the ground. Su Qiluo didn't even look at him, rushing towards Duke excitedly and reaching out to hug him.
"General, how are you feeling?"
Held in Su Qiluo's arms, Duke let out a soft meow, as if in response.
"Young lady, today I have already bathed the General, using a special medicinal bath, and needled his breath channels with silver needles to strengthen his physique."
Yue Yun spoke softly on the side. At this time, Su Qiluo also turned her attention to Yue Yun.
"Stand up and speak."
Sitting down heavily on Duke's cat bed, Su Qiluo let Duke lie in her arms while her chubby little hands stroked his fur over and over.
"Yes, young lady."
Yue Yun stood up awkwardly and looked at Su Qiluo apprehensively.
Before coming here, Sun Xiang had specifically instructed him that Su Qiluo's status in the entire Su family, warning him that when he came to this side, he must fulfill his duties.
This Su Qiluo will surely be the pillar of the Su family in the future. While she is still young now, he must establish a foothold in Langya Palace.
There is no future in the beast park. At best, he is just a groom.
But following Su Qiluo, the prospects will be great.
"How is the General's condition now?"
Su Qiluo lowered her eyes, her eyes only holding her cat. Yue Yun carefully replied, "The General is as good as he can be!"
"As long as I needle his breath channels to nourish his inner breath for seven days, the General will be able to cultivate a stream of inner breath, and then practice the unique beast cultivation techniques of my Ganzhi Beast Control Sect."
"Seven days?"
Su Qiluo raised her head, frowning.
"Yes!"
"Because beasts are inherently limited, the General needs me to nourish his inner breath for seven days to cultivate a stream of inner breath."
"Once this inner breath is cultivated, the General can start practicing our Ganzhi Beast Control Sect's unique techniques, which will double the results and allow the General to advance by leaps and bounds."
"But relatively, consumption will also increase correspondingly."
"Although humans and beasts are different, some aspects are the same."
"Just as human martial artists need nourishment, so do beasts, and even more so."
"How about Blood Qi Pills?"
Su Qiluo asked Yue Yun directly. Yue Yun was surprised. He knew about Blood Qi Pills. Such pills were extremely precious.
Even innate martial artists would be envious, because these pills were not refined by ordinary alchemists, but by legendary daoist adepts.
"Of course it works, but one pill is too strong, it needs to be cut into small pieces."
Yue Yun answered honestly. Su Qiluo nodded, "In that case, from now on, the General's affairs will be handled by you."
"If you produce results, rewards will not be lacking. But if anything goes wrong with the General, I will hold you accountable!"
When Su Qiluo said this, Yue Yun also knelt down with a thud.
"I will definitely do my best and not disappoint the young lady's expectations!"
"Good, you can go now. I want to be alone with the General for a while!"
"Yes, I'll go out now!"
Yue Yun got up, bowed, backed up slowly, and kept retreating until he was out the door.
"General, this Yue Yun is the cat slave I have prepared for you. If you have any needs in the future, just order him around."
Su Qiluo stroked Duke's back with her little hand. Duke also let out a hum. Yue Yun's silver needle inner breath nourishment method did work for him.
With just one session, he felt an extra stream of heat in his body. Although this stream of heat lay dormant in his body, it made his whole body feel warm and comfortable.
At the same time, this also made Duke increasingly interested in the so-called unique techniques mentioned by the little fat man.
He wondered what techniques could allow beasts to cultivate.
"General, I went to martial arts class today without you, it was so boring!"
"Brother Thirteen from Thirteen House bothered me again. Fortunately Brother Six protected me, otherwise I would have been bullied by him."
"Third Uncle checked our cultivation progress today and praised me especially!"
"He said I'm advancing very quickly and have a solid foundation."
"As long as I cultivate diligently every day, in seven days at most I can strengthen my skin and flesh, then I can further my cultivation."
"When I become stronger through cultivation, I will be able to protect you!"
Accompanied by Su Qiluo's chatter, Duke's ears twitched. He lay obediently in her arms and fell asleep listening to her voice. He had to make up for sleep during the day for other arrangements at night.
...
In the depths of the night, Duke, lying in the cat bed, opened his eyes. His golden eyes were very bright in the darkness.
"Meow!!"
Raising his butt high and stretching out his body, Duke lazily stretched and got out of the cat bed, pushed open the door of the ear room, and walked out of his room.
"Master... Don't worry... I will surely serve Cat Sir well!"
A sleep murmur came. Duke looked towards the sound and saw the little fat black man Yue Yun awake. The just awakened little fat black man rubbed his eyes and stared at Duke biting a book, his eyes full of confusion.
Seeing this, the cat shook his head.
Moral integrity!
Turning his head, Duke headed straight for the study hall.
In a short while, Duke arrived at the study hall. Looking at the room full of books, Duke stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
Later, dragging a book, Duke stumbled back towards his room.
"It looks like my limit now is refining five times."
Having refined four books in a row, Duke felt the stream of warmth in his body, the so-called inner breath mentioned by the little fat black man, and couldn't help nodding to himself.
This inner breath was indeed very beneficial to him, as the little fat black man said.
In addition, the Blood Qi Pill that the maid had mistakenly fed him earlier also had a very strong strengthening effect on his physique.
His stamina and Black Cauldron's ability to refine books were closely related.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have only been able to refine three times last night, and now in one breath refine four times, with the strength left to drag a book upstairs.
Duke, who had come to his room, was about to open the door when he heard a muddled voice next to him.
"Cat Sir?"
Duke looked over and found that the little fat black man Yue Yun had woken up. The awakened little fat black man rubbed his eyes and stared at Duke biting a book, confusion in his eyes.
"I'll be damned, Cat Sir, are you taking the imperial exam?"
"Why are you dragging a book?"
Duke and Yue Yun stared at each other for a long time. Under Duke's deep gaze, Yue Yun came to his senses.
"Ha....ha ha..."
"I must be confused from sleep. How could Cat Sir possibly drag a book!"
"That's right, I'm confused, I'm confused!"
As Yue Yun spoke, he also closed his eyes.
Only then did Duke snort, dragged the book into the room, and kicked the door shut.
Dragging the book to his cat bed, Duke also let out a yawn.
Refining five books in one go was a bit tiring.
After refining this last book, it would be time to sleep.
Thinking of this, Duke also looked outside.
Outside the window, the moon was at its zenith, and the bright moonlight drifted into the room like smoke.
There was still a long time before the full moon, so it would be better to focus on cultivating for now. Refining the essence of the sun and moon could wait a bit longer.
It would be better to absorb more knowledge first!
