Han Yu poured the Monkey Wine into a small jade cup he had prepared. The liquid was a pale gold, and the aroma alone was a potent mix of fruit and alcohol. Just a sniff was enough to make one feel a little dizzy, a testament to how potent the drink was.
"I don't believe it. One cup and you're out for three days and three nights?"
The most straightforward one, Quicksilver, picked up a cup and downed it in one gulp. The next second, his head slammed down onto the table, eliciting a chorus of laughter.
He was asleep. One cup and down!
Although he hadn't tasted the Monkey Wine, Quicksilver's body was already undergoing changes. This was a three-thousand-year-old Monkey Wine, and calling it "Divine Brew" wouldn't be an exaggeration. The changes it brought to the body were naturally enormous.
Quicksilver's antics livened up the restaurant even more. They propped him up on the side to let him sleep, and everyone continued eating.
"So, have you decided what you want? This is your first win, so you should think carefully."
Han Yu, holding his small cup, walked over to Erina. She had also had a little wine because she was happy, and her delicate face was flushed, making her look incredibly cute.
Originally, she had just been teasing, but when Han Yu said this, Erina actually looked thoughtful. She pondered for a moment and looked at Han Yu, "Anything is possible?"
Han Yu smiled and said, "Of course."
"Then... I want to cultivate too, like Yan and San!"
Erina's words drew everyone's attention. What did she want to do? Cultivate?
The originally noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent. As the main characters of the day, the two of them naturally drew everyone's attention. Moreover, they hadn't whispered, and everyone present were experts, so they naturally heard her.
"Erina, what are you saying? Don't cause trouble for Manager Han!"
Even Senzaemon thought this request was a bit much. If it was about cooking, he thought anything Erina asked for was fine, because they competed with cooking.
But Erina wanted to talk about cultivation, and that wasn't a simple matter. Through their interactions over this period, Senzaemon had discovered that the people he was eating with, though seemingly amicable, actually possessed combat abilities he couldn't comprehend.
They were even terrifying enough to destroy an entire country, or even the world, single-handedly! This further highlighted the power of cultivators. At least, in Senzaemon's opinion, the opportunity to become a cultivator was extremely rare.
Senzaemon was also afraid of angering Han Yu. After mentioning Erina, he cautiously watched him, ready to apologize without hesitation if Han Yu showed any sign of displeasure.
But the result was somewhat unexpected. Han Yu didn't get angry. Instead, he rubbed his chin for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to cultivate?"
Hearing this non-rejection, Erina was secretly delighted, feeling that this matter might still be possible. But on the surface, she remained composed, saying, "I want to get closer to the ingredients we use, observe their living environment and location. This will be more conducive to improving my culinary skills. I know that the ingredients we use are very powerful magical beasts. If I don't have a certain level of strength myself, it will be difficult for me to approach them. Also, I want to see other worlds."
This answer was very official, but it also clearly expressed Erina's meaning. This girl, whose mind was full of cooking, really thought this way.
She became a cultivator, more because of cooking, and less because she was curious about other worlds.
No one wouldn't be curious about what other worlds are like, even if that person is a girl. If she wasn't curious, it could only be said that the other world didn't suit her taste.
"Mr. Senzaemon, what do you think?"
Han Yu turned his gaze to Senzaemon, asking for the latter's opinion. After all, he was Erina's grandfather, and his agreement was also needed in this matter.
Erina looked at Senzaemon with a pleading expression. Words rose to the latter's lips, but he couldn't utter them. After a moment, he sighed softly and agreed.
Because Erina had never asked him for help with anything. She had always been very independent and quiet, and her childish innocence had been erased at a very young age.
Seeing the pleading look in Erina's eyes, Senzaemon couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"Yes!"
Seeing Senzaemon's agreement, Erina knew the matter was settled. Han Yu hadn't refused, and as long as Senzaemon agreed, she could enter the ranks of cultivators.
"Hey, hey, calm down."
Han Yu waved his hand, stopping the jubilant Erina. He pinched his right hand, and a jet-black pill appeared in his hand.
Several shallow silver lines were on the pill's surface. After taking it out, the restaurant was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. Although it was a medicinal smell, it smelled like the fresh scent of grass. Breathing it in made one feel refreshed, and it felt like all one's internal organs were clear.
"This is a Spirit Essence Pill I refined. It contains a trace of spiritual energy from various worlds. After taking it, it will grant you an ability best suited for you. What that ability is, however, depends on your own fortune."
Han Yu handed the pill to Erina. She took the pill and stared at it for a moment before swallowing it without hesitation. She didn't believe Han Yu would harm her. With his unfathomable strength, if he really wanted to do something to her, he wouldn't need to go through such trouble.
That's why Erina was so decisive in taking the pill. At that moment, a faint light emanated from her. What happened next even shocked Han Yu, and Tang San was even more stunned.
A pair of snow-white, giant wings unfolded from behind Erina, enveloping her. The wings shimmered with dazzling golden light. As the wings spread, Erina slowly floated up, suspended in the air. Her eyes were filled with faint golden light, and her long golden hair moved without any wind, like a goddess descending.
"Martial Soul? Six-Winged Angel? Innate Full Soul Power?!"
Tang San was very surprised. He never expected that the spiritual power Erina would be compatible with would be a Martial Soul from the Douluo Continent, and moreover, a legendary Martial Soul, one of the most top-tier!
After a moment, the light dissipated, and the white wings retracted into Erina's body. She looked bewildered, not knowing what had just happened. Seeing the surprise on Han Yu and Tang San's faces, she thought her ability was something quite terrible.
"Why are you all staring at me like that...? Am I not suitable for cultivation?"
Tang San was extremely helpless. He looked at Erina's stunned, silly expression. If she let the children on the Douluo Continent who were awakening their Martial Souls for the first time hear those words, they'd probably spit out blood in frustration.
A Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul wasn't suitable for cultivation? Then they might as well not awaken at all and just lie at home waiting to die. Why bother awakening a Martial Soul in the first place?
"You're so lucky, really lucky," Tang San patted Erina's shoulder and said sincerely, "Little Erina, I didn't expect you to have this kind of potential."
"What are you talking about? Is what I just awakened really powerful?" Erina was a bit excited.
Tang San nodded heavily and explained the power of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to her.
