Su Yuan told Hai Ling everything about how Shuang Hai Xin Jing had turned the deer-man Lin Jiao into her puppet, and that her divination was only half right.
This thing can indeed make people stronger, but the prerequisite is that you have to withstand the weak will of the Frost Sea Heart Crystal.
"I have resolved the issue of being controlled. If you take it now, you will become even more powerful if you succeed, but if you fail, you will be severely injured and fall into a coma, and you will not be able to try again for five years."
"The choice is yours. If you plan to take it, stay in the City Lord's Building for now. Haiyao has prepared a room for you there, just waiting for you to return."
Since he had promised, Su Yuan handed her the Frost Sea Heart Crystal that the system had replicated. He would distribute it to everyone for trial purposes when he had time.
He himself would also try it, as the chance to gain a longer lifespan and a greater increase in strength in exchange for a serious injury was far more worthwhile than becoming a puppet.
"I... let me return to the Dream Coral Sea first. If I fail, let the Sea Spirit Tribe become a part of you, and Haiyao will go and rescue my people."
Hailing ultimately chose to accept the Frost Sea Heart Crystal, but to prevent serious injury that would prevent her from continuing, she planned to wait until she arrived before attempting it.
"And if it succeeds?"
"You've succeeded! Of course, the Sea Spirit Tribe is also part of you, and I will personally conquer that ocean for you!"
Su Yuan smiled, lifted Hai Ling's hand, and handed her the Frost Sea Heart Crystal.
"Then I wish you success!"
The two arrived at Xue Rou's restaurant. It was early in the morning and Hai Ling hadn't eaten much. Eating in Moon Pivot City was no longer like it was back in the Star Tribe.
Besides buying food at the market, you can also buy ingredients to cook at home, or have a meal at this currently only restaurant in the city.
The large dining table in Xinghai Town has been transformed into a small wooden restaurant due to the decrease in the town's population, managed by several little beast girls who have been learning food preparation from Xue Rou.
The variety of food is naturally not as rich as in Moon Pivot City. Apart from some grilled meat and fish, there are currently only various fish soups and vegetable soups available.
"To celebrate your success, let me treat you to a delicious meal today."
The two went inside together. The small restaurant was filled with the aroma of cooking. Several flame magic circles were burning on the stove, and several iron pots were placed on top.
Several beast girls were moving around in the kitchen, and two more ran out from there, carrying plates and bowls as they moved through the dining room.
"There are quite a few people here, cutie. Could you please find us a seat?"
"Alright, then... Chief! It was you!"
This shout drew everyone's attention to the door. Upon seeing Su Yuan, everyone enthusiastically came forward to share the food they had.
Before he had even ordered, a pile of half-eaten food appeared in front of him. He didn't mind, took a few bites of what looked decent, and then sent everyone back.
Hai Ling smiled behind her, and after the crowd dispersed, the two found a secluded spot to sit down.
"Sweetie, keep your voice down next time, or I'll be full before I even pay for my meal!"
"Hehehe, if the leader is willing, Xiaoyou can treat the leader to this meal!"
The waiter showed no remorse; instead, he approached Su Yuan with a smile and reached into his chest, pulling out a small bag of coins.
The already somewhat oversized clothes slipped off her shoulders, revealing a glimpse of her pinkish-white shoulder, prompting Su Yuan to quickly stop her from treating him to a meal.
"Alright, alright, you don't need to treat me this time. Let me see the menu."
