Little Loach tightly coiled around Jeffrey Cooper's corpse, blowing out a string of happy bubbles.
After all, Jeffrey Cooper was a strong figure of the Third Great Boundary, and his body still retained a trace of his vigor, temporarily preventing it from being gnawed by fierce creatures.
All the way, Owen Bertram kept reminding Little Loach: "You can't hold back on the benefits for Big Brother. He worked so hard to plan the entire strategy, and only then did you get to eat this Tier-3 Demonic Beast. He even came out in the middle of the night to help you find your lost snack treasure..."
On their return to the Hunshui River, Owen Bertram took back his soul.
"That's enough. I know. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll come to check Jeffrey Cooper's Storage Brocade Pouch."
After the "exercise," Little Loach's digestion seemed to be sped up. About a Shichen (2 hours) later, an immense, unprecedented surge of warmth surged into Owen Bertram's body.
