After hearing her words, Fu Chen just sat there with a stunned expression on his face. He didn’t know whether he heard her correctly. He was quite confused about it since he knew what exactly is going on.
Now, he wasn’t sure whether he should tell her the truth or lie to her. He didn’t want her to lie and that’s why he was hesitating whether to truly lie to her or not.
He couldn’t make a decision for a moment.
“Is something wrong, Chen?” Xue Le touched his hands and asked.
Fu Chen finally gave up and released a deep sigh.
“Le, I have been lying to you about them.”
“What do you mean?” Xue Le asked with confusion. She didn’t know why Fu Chen would suddenly say something like that.
“I actually had no feelings for Shen Xui and Su Ling unlike you. It was due to my parents that I got engaged to Shen Xui. After that, she kept my parents safe and also helped me occasionally and it was only then I truly started falling for her.”
“As for Su Ling, it was because of strength. I was given a chance to choose her and in return, I will get stronger. So, I chose her. I thought it wouldn’t matter much but when she actually sacrificed herself for me, I was devastated.”
“That’s why when your brother and sister-in-law sacrificed for me, I was devastated. I didn’t know why the people I didn’t love would sacrifice themselves for me. After all, I didn’t deserve that.”
“I don’t think there is any girl that I truly love like you.”
Hearing his words, Xue Le looked at him with confusion. Because she didn’t know whether she should be angry at him or not.
On the one hand, he was basically telling her that he was playing around but on the other hand, he was telling her that the only person he ever loved like a lover was her.
Although now he also loved Shen Xui, it didn’t change the fact that she was the one whom he truly loved. She released a deep sigh.
“Alright then, it doesn’t matter. I just hope that the next time you don’t choose anyone else. Just having us should be enough, right?”
She gave him a deadly stare when she asked that.
Fu Chen squeezed out a smile and nodded.
“Yes!”
“Now, give me a cultivation technique!” Xue Le stretched out her hand and asked.
Fu Chen thought for a moment and asked.
‘Ysla, what is the new cultivation technique that I received?’
[Cultivation Technique- Undead Blood Scripture
Grade- Immortal Rank
Description- An ancient cultivation technique that was created out of the Undead Emperor. An emperor who can’t be killed. It was said that this scripture was created out of his own blood.
Effect 1- It allows a cultivator to condense undead blood inside their blood marrow.
Effect 2- Every time they are injured, they can absorb the injury to refine their blood.
Effect 3- Stronger their blood gets, the faster their cultivation will be.
Side effect 1- It could force one to absorb others’ blood.
Side effect 2- It could force one into blood madness.
Side effect 3- If one mind isn’t strong enough, that person will be consumed by it.]
Looking at the panel, Fu Chen was surprised. He didn’t expect this cultivation technique to be this good and bad.
He looked at Xue Le for a moment and thought.
‘She is strong. To be able to stand up against the lust from her bloodline despite having sex with me means she can easily ignore the third side effect. Well, I would have a lot of enemies so she didn’t need to care about the first side effect.’
‘But, the second one… hmmm! Well, my Wood Sage Art should be able to bind her in case she enters the state. Truthfully, I truly want to give her this technique.’
‘It allows her to remain undead which means I don’t need to worry about her in the future.’
After thinking for a while, he finally decided to ask ‘Ysla, can you give me this technique in a scroll?’
“Yes, host! You can check your inventory.” Ysla replied in his mind.
‘Good, then show me the martial art as well.’
Fu Chen asked.
[Martial Art- Blood Burning Art
Grade- Immortal Rank
Description- It was said that a long time ago, there was a person who would constantly get into battle far out of his realm. Due to the multiple life and death situations, he created a martial art that burns his blood in order to gain extra strength.
Effect 1- It allows a cultivator to multiply its strength.
Effect 2- Cultivate doesn’t require his own blood to use this art.
Effect 3- It consumes a massive amount of stamina instead of spiritual energy.
Side effect 1- If heavily used, it could damage one’s blood veins.
Side effect 2- If heavily used, it could damage one’s bloodline.
Side effect 3- If heavily used, the blood would be unrecoverable unless some extreme healing methods are used.]
‘This martial art…..’ Fu Chen was shocked after seeing this panel. It was truly a rare art and for his current state, it would be a great bonus to him especially now that they are going to cross the sea.
‘Ysla, how many stat points do I have? …. wait, show my status. I need to check something else as well.’

‘Wait a minute, my dragon bloodline actually improved? Wait… I didn’t feel it properly. So, when did it actually improve?’
“Host, it improved the moment you ate that fruit. You didn’t feel it because you started those two cultivation techniques as soon as you finished your cultivation.”
‘Ohh! Sorry about that. But, I obviously didn’t feel much different even though I used ‘Saint Dragon Body’. The increase in strength didn’t much.’ Fu Chen muttered in his mind.
“Host, that’s because your base strength has improved a lot. When you had strength below a thousand, the increase in strength due to your martial soul used to feel huge but just before, you obviously didn’t feel much even though it has been increasing your strength by 5000 points.”
Hearing her words, Fu Chen nodded.
‘Yeah, you are right. Ysla, use 750 skill points to help me cultivate Blood Burning Art. And, then use 10000 stat points on my stamina. Since it wouldn’t make much of a difference now, I should rather use it on something that would truly make a difference.’
“That was a smart choice, Host!”
[Would you like to use 750 skill points to comprehend Blood Burning Art?]
[Yes] [No]
[Would you like to use 10000 stat points on stamina?]
[Yes] [No]
Fu Chen clicked on yes both times. Suddenly, his eyes shut down for a moment and the changes started to emerge inside his body. But from the outside, nothing seems to have changed.
After comprehending a little bit of Blood Burning Art where he could just use it, he opened his eyes and took out two scrolls.
He handed them to Xue Le and said.
“One is a cultivation technique and the other is a martial art but both of them are dangerous. I have given it some thought but my thoughts don’t matter if you don’t agree. So, you must read it properly and decide whether to cultivate them or not.”
“You can share them with Chu Yan and Wu Kong though I am not sure if the cultivation technique would be suitable for them. And, without that cultivation technique, it would be risky to use that martial art.”
“While you guys discuss….”
Fu Chen stood up wand walked toward the shores.
“I should create the ship. I guess it’s pirate time.”
