Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!

The leather water pouch was also quite smelly, but at this moment, Chen Yan didn't care.

He unscrewed the wooden cap of the pouch and gently poured a little into his mouth...

As the liquid entered, Chen Yan felt a faint bitter taste.

What surprised him was that the water inside wasn't ordinary water!

It wasn't the usual transparent type of water.

Instead, it had a faint milky-white hue.

Like milk diluted many times over.

Though it didn't have a milky aroma, it carried a slight bitterness.

Yet…

After one gulp, Chen Yan immediately felt a shiver run through his whole body!

His mouth and throat, which had dried up to the point of smoking, suddenly felt greatly moisturized!

But the next moment, Chen Yan's expression suddenly changed!

His body trembled slightly!

As the pale milky liquid entered his stomach, Chen Yan felt as if he was under the illusion: it seemed that all the cells in his body were wildly cheering!

Then, a strange force within the water was instantly absorbed by his body, and countless cells were cheering, shouting, jumping, and swelling under the nourishment of that power…

After a gulp, Chen Yan felt that his body…

Was fully energized!!

And even the long-pained back, hands, and feet…

Didn't hurt anymore!

As if a force had directly washed over his whole body, instantly soothing his injuries!

This really was like a liquid Bone Pill!

No… it wasn't a Bone Pill!

Chen Yan lowered his eyelids, hiding the shock in his eyes.

His cells were crazily rejoicing, then swelling, the body was…

Enhancing!!

The original effect of Primordial Qi Nourishing to strengthen the physical body had hit the ceiling after the last battle of the Japan Secret Realm when the Primordial Qi forcibly flushed through.

But…

At this moment, it was as if the ceiling had disappeared!

He felt his body was crazily welcoming this milky-white water, even craving it!

He immediately tilted the pouch again, taking another hearty gulp!

This time, after a gulp, Chen Yan shivered comfortably all over again.

He felt the water flow into his stomach, being frantically absorbed by his body…

But just as he was about to drink a third gulp, the pouch was snatched back by the female creature!

The female creature, with an expression of dissatisfaction, shook the pouch, estimating the remaining water volume, then frowned at Chen Yan, obviously displeased with Chen Yan's action—thinking he drank too much.

Chen Yan carefully controlled his emotions, not showing dissatisfaction on his face, just silently watching the female creature, then lowering his eyelids.

Afterward, the female creature took out a fist-sized dough from her arms—not Chen Yan's fist, but hers.

It was black, similar to the thing she attempted to feed him last night.

The same, smelly, made from unknown dubious materials, and stained with hair.

The female creature took out this mass of food and forcefully broke it apart in her hands.

One half big, one half small.

She handed the smaller half to Chen Yan, but just as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly withdrew it.

She seemed to be in a distinct dilemma, but soon she made a decision.

The female creature handed the bigger half to Chen Yan, saying in clumsy, awkward human language, "You work, you eat more."

After speaking, the female creature grabbed her share and sat on a pile of chopped tree stumps, happily holding and taking a big bite out of her small half of the black dough, a satisfied smile appearing on her ugly face.

Chen Yan looked at the large half of the black dough in his hand and then at the simple-minded creature.

This fellow... is really quite naïve?

Despite his utter distaste and disgust for the black dough, encouraged by the example of the magical milky-white water, Chen Yan decided to give it a try.

He carefully broke a small piece and put it in his mouth.

A few seconds later, Chen Yan's eyebrows, eyes, and nose all scrunched up!

This stuff… it stank!

And it had an intensely sour, rancid smell!!

Almost like fermented bread left too long mixed with expired meat scraps!

He forcefully endured the sour stench, swallowing it down…

This time, the kind of miraculous effect of the milky-white liquid didn't appear, nor did any other extraordinary effect.

It was just…

He felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of nightmare-inducing substance!

Chen Yan almost wanted to grab his tongue.

This black dough had no magical properties, Chen Yan concluded.

But he looked at the female creature voraciously chewing on her black dough, his eyes shifting.

Chen Yan slowly walked to the female creature.

The female creature was startled, but seemed to misunderstand something, holding the dough she had already bitten tightly behind her, baring her teeth at Chen Yan and angrily saying, "Mine! Not sharing with you!"

Inside, Chen Yan cursed, but shook his head and held out his barely touched black dough toward her.

"I'm not hungry, I don't eat much."

The female creature's eyes instantly showed a hint of joy.

Chen Yan, smilingly, watched the female creature accept the dough, then pointed at the water pouch by her side.

"I'm thirsty."

"..."

The female creature's expression showed obvious hesitation.

Chen Yan judged that the value of this milky-white liquid was seemingly quite significant to the female creature.
