nAlice initially thought William had entered the bathroom with certain intentions, but throughout the bath, he didn’t actually do much.

nHow to describe the feeling? At first, there was a bit of nervousness and shyness, but also a little bit of anticipation mixed in…

nMidway through the bath, Alice suddenly asked, “Have you ever… you know, done it in the water?”

n“Yeah, I have,” William replied without any attempt to conceal it.

nAlice couldn’t help feeling a bit envious and asked, “With how many people have you done it?”

n“Hmm?” William pondered for a moment before replying, “That’s a bit hard to calculate.”

nWilliam had been watching numerous romantic videos lately, and one of the tips was never to talk about ex-partners in front of the current one, as it’s always a mistake. Most importantly, the number of women he had been with was quite high.

nIf he really had to put a number on it, it would undoubtedly be very large…

nDesire is a natural human instinct, and William hadn’t abandoned his. Though he had never forgotten Artemis over the years, it didn’t stop him from being with other women.

n“Not easy to calculate?” Alice’s mood soured instantly, and she asked, “Have you ever done it with Seraphina or Zoey?”

n“No, I haven’t,” William always tried to adapt to the times. In the past, it was normal for men to have many women, and spending a night with a prostitute at Le Chabanais was even considered a delightful tale.

nBut in the current era, monogamy was the norm, and being with another woman while having a girlfriend or being married was considered physical infidelity. 𝘪𝑎.

nWilliam didn’t intend to do such things.

n“Alright! Then I believe you,” Alice said softly, then asked, “What does it feel like to do it in water?”

n“It’s not that great, actually. First, it can be pretty dry, and then… do you want to try?” William replied seriously.

n“Try… well, I suppose we could try…” Alice, lacking experience, thought there might be no harm in trying since William suggested it…

nTheir bath lasted over half an hour, and if William hadn’t isolated the sounds within the bathroom, people outside might have thought Alice had been seriously injured again.

n“I already told you, it would be quite dry. Aren’t you studying medicine? Don’t you know that?” What William meant by ‘dry’ was that Alice would be drier, as water doesn’t provide lubrication. So, in the end, it was Alice who suffered, right?

nSome unscrupulous movies and TV shows always like to romanticize bathing together, but in reality, it’s not particularly comfortable for either party.

nBack in the bedroom, William said, “Let’s start over.”

n“Again?” Alice was a bit apprehensive.

n“Yes, I’ll teach you another method to enhance your strength.”

nIt’s no wonder Seraphina always craved William’s body,his physique was indeed tempting.

nIntimate contact with an ordinary woman and William could practically guarantee prolonged life and eternal youth.

nFor beings like Seraphina or Shapeshifters, being intimately involved with him had different effects.

nEven a drop of William’s blood could drastically boost Evelyn’s strength. What about the essence of his essence?

nAlthough Alice’s strength wasn’t yet at a level to bear William’s offspring, absorbing this essence would definitely be more potent than the power she had previously absorbed from an ancient dragon’s orb.

nAfter a night of earnest training, Alice could even feel a noticeable increase in her strength.

nAfter all, it’s impossible to fully absorb through the simplest method. Then, William taught her some new knowledge.

nOral consumption had a better effect.

nThis way, she could gradually and naturally absorb it, right?

nThe next day, William visited the 13th Bureau’s base.

nThe 13th Bureau had now established bases in every city, no longer operating in secrecy.

nThe affairs of Soulmancers were now well-known.

nThe national funding for the 13th Bureau was also increasingly generous.

nWilliam sensed some strange auras at the 13th Bureau, so he came to check it out.

nJhin was overjoyed to see William. His previously white hair had turned black, regaining a youthful appearance despite his advanced age, and his body even developed robust muscles.

n“William, do you recognize me?” Jhin, clad in a white protective suit, approached William, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

n“Dr. Lopez.” William naturally recognized him.

nThis old professor is indeed extraordinary. Although he was just an ordinary person, in just a short span of one or two months, his strength has become comparable to that of a mid-level Soulmancer.

nWas it the work of technology?

nWilliam could see that Jhin’s vital life force was nearly depleted, indicating his imminent death.

n“You actually recognized me,” Jhin said excitedly. “Do you know? I’ve extracted the genes of those Shapeshifter lords, and now even ordinary people can become as strong as them with just one injection. Do you want to try?”

n“No thanks, I’ll pass.”

nWilliam made no comment on this matter.

nJhin must have realized that Soulmancers were becoming increasingly powerful, and those Shapeshifter lords subdued by William were many times stronger than regular Soulmancers.

nHe used technology to extract the genes of the Shapeshifter lords to create a drug that could alter human physiology. However, it was clearly impossible to become as powerful as the Shapeshifter lords.

nFirstly, the human body would reject the Shapeshifter lords’ genes, and even if merged, without knowing their secret arts, it would be nothing more than raw brute force.

nSuch a drug would only grant temporary strength at a heavy cost.

nJhin claimed one could become as powerful as the Shapeshifter lords because he was unaware of their true strength. While a Shapeshifter lord could lift ten thousand pounds, someone using the drug might do the same but would not realize that these lords could easily kill them in actual combat.

nJhin pondered, “Well, we could wait a bit longer. Currently, eighty volunteers have been injected, but there are still some side effects. It needs improvement. Give it another two months; it should be about right then.”

nWilliam wasn’t sure if Jhin could create a side-effect-free drug in two months, but Jhin’s body required a tremendous amount of energy and his life force was rapidly depleting. It was very likely he wouldn’t survive the next two months.

n“Dr. Lopez, what do you think is the significance of this research?” William asked. “If these injections can make people stronger but also shorten their lives, do you think it’s worth it?”

n“It is!” Jhin replied firmly. “If we ordinary people can’t become stronger, how can we protect ourselves against powerful Soulmancers who cause chaos? Without strong military force to back us, how can we ensure social stability and prosperity?” Jhin clenched his fists, speaking earnestly, “The peace we have now is hard-won, and I absolutely won’t allow anyone to disrupt it, not even gods!”
