Chapter 1352: Chapter 978, Deadlock

"Put it away for now, might use it as ritual materials later." Wu Heng casually replied.

He decided not to tell her about gene fusion.

Eating organs is quite heavy on taste; there’s no benefit in mentioning it.

Wen Mansha said, "Why bother storing, just tell me when you need them. There’s always fighting or crime here, so beastman corpses are everywhere."

The way she spoke, it was as if beastman corpses were endless.

"Better to store them, saves time and panic when the need arises." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"Alright, everything’s prepared anyway." Wen Mansha pouted.

Wu Heng continued, "Feed the kids first. Didn’t you say there’s a new routine tonight? Let’s rest early."

"Okay!" Wen Mansha reached the door, turned back, and asked, "Should I ask ’Natalia’ to join us?"

"No need to force her; having you two is enough." Wu Heng replied.

"She’s not resistant to you, just needs a little push." Wen Mansha turned and left without saying more.

After the door closed.

Glenda appeared next to him and said, "The level of these organs is somewhat low, will it affect the fusion result?"

"It’s hard to find high-level beastmen here unless we kill the Shamans." Wu Heng replied.

The professionals in Lundham City generally aren’t high-level.

He remembered when he was captain, almost slaughtered the Hammer Party leader who was only Level 15.

The high-level beastmen he knew in the city were only the beastman Shamans.

But it would be excessive to kill them without any grudge, especially given their amicable relationship before.

"You’re right," Glenda continued, "Fusion gene shouldn’t be strongly related to the body’s level. Let’s try it!"

Wu Heng nodded, opened the Organ Jar, and took out a fresh red heart.

After a simple cleaning, just like before, he sliced off a small piece and swallowed it directly.

In the next second, energy exploded in his stomach and spread throughout his body.

A system prompt appeared right after.

[Fusion Trait: Tough Constitution, Iron Stomach]

[Discarded Trait: Strong Body Odor]

[Tough Constitution]: Provides a super strength constitution and resistance to blows.

[Iron Stomach]: An incredible digesting ability that can quickly restore stamina through eating.

"How is it? Any new effects?" Glenda asked as he returned to normal.

Wu Heng said, "Two traits, one enhancing constitution, the other aiding digestion."

Glenda raised an eyebrow, "Sounds like it’s not much helpful to you."

"Enhancing constitution is still beneficial." Wu Heng walked aside and lifted his shirt.

The reflection in the mirror showed muscles chiseled with distinct edges.

Complimented with the elf race’s body rhythm, it displayed a gentle strength.

Glenda floated beside him, also looking at the mirror image, and said with a smile, "Not bad, might charm all your women."

"Really? Would it charm you?" Wu Heng lowered his shirt.

"Sister is a ghost, not falling for your tricks." Glenda rolled her eyes at him and continued, "You’re a hero now. Increased constitution doesn’t help much. Ordinary attacks won’t kill you, hero-level attacks have massive power, increasing a bit of constitution won’t show much effect."

Wu Heng pondered a bit and said, "Not necessarily; raised constitution boosts resistance to abnormal states, and even when harmed, recovery speed compares."

Glenda raised an eyebrow, "You’re right; that’s more thorough than I thought."

The two chatted.

Another three ghosts flew back from outside.

"Uncle, Aunt! What are you chatting about?" Xiao Xiao asked casually, seemingly not expecting an answer, and directly said, "Uncle, give me the tablet. I want to find a movie for my aunt."

Wu Heng took out the tablet and asked, "What did you three do?"

Xiao Xiao was fiddling with the tablet and said, "Playing with my little sister. We’re leaving soon; I’ll miss her."

"Making it sound like we’re not coming back." Wu Heng chuckled.

Xiao Xiao operated the tablet skillfully and said, "Once my sister grows a bit, she’ll remember me first. I’ll teach her homework then."

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow and didn’t say much.

She found the movie, Xiao Xiao, Bella, and Lady went aside to watch.

Glenda also took a book and started flipping through it.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

...

After two rings, the Fifth Princess’s voice came through, "Sir!"

"Hmm, how have you been lately?" Wu Heng leaned against the chairback.

Confirmed it was really Wu Heng, the Fifth Princess sounded pleasantly surprised, "Everything’s fine, thank you for your concern."

Then, the call turned into a video call, showing the Fifth Princess’s face on the screen.

Her long golden hair was loose, her face looking delicate and fair, the neckline of her nightgown slightly parted with her leaning forward, casting a clear shadow on her collarbone under bright light.

The Fifth Princess seemed oblivious, her fingertips unconsciously playing with her hair, eyes fixed on the screen, "Sir, you seem changed a lot, your skin’s even better than before."

"I’m just a man, how could my skin be better than yours?" Wu Heng continued to ask, "Is everything safe on your side?"

"There’s no danger; has anything special happened?" The Fifth Princess’s face showed puzzlement.

Wu Heng said, "In Lundham City, assassins are quite frequent. Keep an eye on your safety too."

The Fifth Princess’s expression paused and then said, "The Crown Prince executed three ministers who had written contacts with me recently. There’s been no signs of assassination otherwise."
