Chapter 63 Eating the Odd Melon

The night was getting darker, and in the room, the sound of the river hitting the shore was extremely rhythmic.

However, Li Ping'an and Lin Jianjia thought for a long time and still could not find a clue.

Seeing that Lin Jianjia's eyes were a little red and she was already beginning to doze off, Li Ping'an said, "Jianjia, you go to sleep first. We might have gotten into a blind alley regarding this matter. The death of white-haired Mr. Zhou would probably release the secret of the Trick Guide."

"I'm afraid that someone will be more concerned about this than us!"

Lin Jianjia was stunned for a moment before her beautiful eyes lit up. She hurriedly looked into Li Ping'an's eyes and said, "Daniu, are you talking about...Young Master Can and the like?"

Li Ping'an smiled. "Jianjia, you are absolutely the one who knows me! Jianjia, from another perspective, if you and I have Young Master Can's power, will we let go of a treasure like the Trick Guide? "

Lin Jianjia blushed. "Daniu, I find that you are really a bad buy. How can you know so much about human nature?"

Li Ping'an chuckled. "My goddess, are you praising me or insulting me? I've gone through a lot of trouble, but I still haven't obtained your heart, right?"

"Go to hell!"

......

After all, Lin Jianjia could not match Li Ping'an in terms of physical strength, so she quickly went into the suite to rest.

Li Ping'an lay on the bed, but he tossed and turned and could not fall asleep.

Although he did not understand what the Trick Guide was, based on the literal meaning, he could guess a little.

This was most likely a cultivation technique, or it could be said to be a supplementary technique!

However, Li Ping'an was unable to imagine what effect it had that could bring him.

"Damn, I'm still too weak!"

"If I am strong enough, I can directly grab that coquettish Young Master Can and interrogate him. He should have a lot of useful information!"

"But Young Master Can is at least in the late Awakening Stage. I am not his match now..."

As he thought about this, Li Ping'an frowned tightly, but he suddenly had an idea. "It just so happens that I have time now. Why don't I try some odd melon first?"

It was better to act than to be tempted!

Li Ping'an quickly took out an odd melon.

During their trip to Taihang Mountain, Li Ping'an and Lin Jianjia obtained a total of nine odd melons, dozens of Teling Herb and one Longxian Herb.

By the principle of average distribution, the two of them each had four and a half odd melons.

Because the two of them wanted to first auction one odd melon to make a living, Li Ping'an gave Lin Jianjia another one. But Lin Jianjia insisted on Li Ping'an keeping the extra half.

Therefore, Li Ping'an still had four odd melons.

At this time, the odd melon he took out was the one with the weakest energy, and it was also the one that was supposed to be equally divided for the two of them.

Looking at this green and mysterious odd melon full of energy and vitality, Li Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly.

Previously, he had discussed with Lin Jianjia many times about the possibility of directly eating the odd melon. The answer he got was affirmative. According to the records left behind during the chaotic period B.C., many experts took the risk and directly consumed the odd melon, thus changing their own fates.

Other stuff like the Energy Drop and Nutrition Drop were all the results of the tests done by the ancestors with their lives and blood.

"With my physique, it won't be a problem for me to eat this odd melon directly, right? After all, the seniors in the chaotic period B.C. did the same, especially those wild beasts..."

"Besides, I definitely won't eat this odd melon all myself. I'm just testing."

"Even if this odd melon is one of the raw materials to create Energy Drop, I definitely can't directly awaken like this! I remember that Mr. Wang once told me that awakening could happen only in a formative environment..."

Thinking of this, Li Ping'an's eyes became more and more determined.

No pain no gain!

This had always been his belief.

Although he still had a lot of five-star Nutrition Drop, its energy composition was definitely not comparable to that of the odd melon, a treasure that combined the essence of the heavens and earth.

Li Ping'an also wanted to test how much stronger the odd melon's effect was compared to five-star Nutrition Drop.

Li Ping'an fell into a completely tranquil state. He carefully stared at this odd melon and no longer hesitated. He carefully took a small bite.

The taste was similar to what he had imagined. It was crunchy, very sweet and very delicious. However, perhaps this odd melon had not fully matured yet. It had a slightly sour taste and made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

After taking a bite of the odd melon, Li Ping'an calmed down and quietly waited for his body to respond.

He didn't wait for too long. A moment later, his body had a rather intense reaction.

Starting from his abdomen, an indescribable pure energy quickly spread through his internal organs, all the way to his limbs and bones.

This kind of feeling was really comfortable and simply indescribable.

Li Ping'an seemed to be floating in the clouds and gently stroked and massaged by thousands of soft clouds. Every single pore in his body was extremely comfortable.

However, this comfortable feeling only lasted for a few minutes before it began to change.

"Ah..."

Li Ping'an soon felt as if he had entered a burning sauna room. A terrifying heat spread all over his limbs and bones.

It was as if there were countless flames burning within his body, tempering his muscles and bones.

Even with Li Ping'an's willpower, he found it hard to resist and rolled on the ground in pain.

However, in order not to wake up Lin Jianjia in the suite, he gritted his teeth and did not let himself make a sound.

This process lasted for half an hour before it began to ease down.

Li Ping'an suddenly felt that his body was much lighter and more flexible than before. At the same time, his whole body was covered with a large amount of stinky dirt, just like the refinement he had when he was baptized by the mysterious stone.

But this time, the effect seemed to be even stronger than that one.

"Damn, this odd melon is really a good treasure. I only took one bite, not even a quarter of it. This is definitely not something that five-star Nutrition Drop can compare to..."

Li Ping'an had no time to take a shower. He was busy moving his hands and feet. He found that his speed, strength, and reaction speed had all clearly improved.

However, Li Ping'an soon saw that the position of the odd melon that had been bitten by him seemed to show signs of drying as the river wind blew from outside of the window.

"F**k..."

"Is the odd melon going to be dried up by the wind? Won't it be a waste of a treasure? Even the heavens might not allow such waste!"

"Forget it, I don't care. Even if Lin Jianjia is already asleep, I have to wake her up. I can't waste it!"

Li Ping'an quickly took a shower and knocked on Lin Jianjia's door.

"Daniu, what are you doing? It's so late, are you going to let me sleep or not?"

Lin Jianjia was wearing white pajamas and nothing else inside. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Li Ping'an unhappily.

But in the next second, when she saw the bitten odd melon in Li Ping'an's hand, she was immediately stunned, and her sleepiness instantly was gone.

"Daniu, you, you, are you crazy? You, you actually ate so much of the odd melon?"

Lin Jianjia almost spat blood with anger. She thought Daniu was simply courting death.

If he couldn't withstand the odd melon's energy, he might explode and die.

But Li Ping'an directly offered the odd melon to Lin Jianjia's mouth. "Jianjia, it's okay. I just ate it and it tasted very good. Look, this odd melon is showing signs of dryness. We can't waste it. Hurry up and take a bite!"

At this time, Lin Jianjia also understood Li Ping'an's intention. Her heart couldn't help but feel warm, and she was even a little moved. However, the traditional mindset still made her a little hesitant. She hurriedly said, "Daniu, are, are you sure that you didn't have any adverse reaction?"

Li Ping'an could not help but smile. "Of course there wasn't any adverse reaction, but you will undergo a body refinement process. Jianjia, I believe you can withstand it. If we want to become stronger, we can only do more than others. Come on, try it. Don't eat too much with the first bite. Try the reaction first. It is very crunchy and delicious. It's even better than the most delicious apple I've ever eaten."

'"..."

Lin Jianjia was speechless.

This Daniu really dared to say. He ate the odd melon like it was an apple.

If other people heard his words, they would probably drown him just with their saliva.

However, Lin Jianjia was already tempted. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling with hope. While looking at the odd melon, she said to Li Ping'an, "Daniu, is that true? You, you are not trying to do something bad to me, are you?"

Li Ping'an immediately rolled his eyes at her. "Lin Jianjia, are you going to eat it or not? If not, I will eat it all by myself! If I really want to do something to you, do I have to wait until now?"

When Lin Jianjia saw that Li Ping'an was really a little angry, she did not dare to make such a joke. She quickly took a careful bite of the odd melon.

A moment later, her beautiful eyes lit up. "Daniu, it's really crispy and delicious. It's much tastier than apples."

Li Ping'an smiled. "Of course. However, Jianjia, this needs to be done step by step. Try and see if you can withstand it. We must eat this odd melon within the shortest time possible. We can't waste it!"

"Alright!"

Lin Jianjia quickly nodded, but a moment later, her face suddenly blushed as she hurriedly ran into the suite. "Daniu, it's taking effect. Stand guard for me!"

Li Ping'an also took a big bite at the odd melon. "Jianjia, if you can't hold on, call me at any time. I'll help you!"

"Alright!"

......

Outside the window, the night was as tranquil as water. The great river was vigorously flowing to the east. All the families turned their lights off. Everything was so quiet and peaceful.

However, the room had turned into a burning sea of fire.

Li Ping'an once again endured this terrifying heat. Lin Jianjia also gritted her teeth and resisted this heart-burning pain in her room.

The two of them kept in contact but did not disturb each other.

Because they both understood that if they wanted to become stronger, they could not rely on others but themselves.

The sun rose and set.

Soon, more than a day had passed. Li Ping'an had already digested three-quarters of the odd melon.

During this process, his body was refined several times, but the effects were getting weaker and weaker each time. In the end, it was almost negligible.

So was Lin Jianjia.

However, the strength of her body was not comparable to Li Ping'an's. The pain she endured lasted longer and was greater than Li Ping'an's.

However, she still gritted her teeth and persevered!

Finally, on the evening of the third day, Lin Jianjia finally finished this painstaking process and walked out of the room.

But when Li Ping'an saw her again, he was stunned for a moment.
