Chapter 3364: Unt.i.tled
Theresa took a deep breath.
She felt that she needed to calm down or she would go crazy.
Thankfully, she had seen it before. She was no stranger to the stuff that her female companion had used in the Pangu Universe.
However…
“There are no small wings?”
Theresa tried her best to control her trembling hands. She took the ‘Devil Sealing Bag’ and weighed it in her hands, only to discover that it was a long, fair, fat bag that seemed to be filled with fine sand. It was thicker, heavier, and rougher than similar products in the Pangu Universe. Besides, there was no place to stick it. It was tied up by a few rubber bands that looked like a loincloth. No wonder it was named ‘Devil Sealing Bag’.
“What did you say?” Princess Summer was dazed for a moment.
“N-nothing.”
Theresa blushed again. She did not know how to use such a structure. In order not to make a fool of herself in the next few days, she had to ask, “Sister Summer, how should I use it?”
“It’s like this. It’s like this. Tie them to your body. These are the most delicate nerves on the body of the beast. You will need to process them for a long time before you can get them. They are very elastic and can be fixed after you tie them up. They won’t affect your training and combat, either.
Princess Summer gestured at herself and continued. “Wearing it is not difficult. The key is to dismantle and purify it.
“They are going to be… dismantled and cleaned?”
Theresa came from a world where the civil industry was highly developed.
Maybe in his hometown, the women’s health was not very good. But at that time, he was still young and ignorant about such things. Liuli had never told him about it, either.
When one reached the age of enlightenment, they would arrive on a stars.h.i.+p. The basic environment and sanitary products of the stars.h.i.+ps of both the federation and the imperium were guaranteed. Such things were always discarded after they were used up.
“Of course, it must be dismantled. The residue of the devil cannot be allowed to ferment inside.”
Princess Summer played with the bag in her hands and said, “Look, there’s a small hole here. If you tear it open, you will be able to pour out everything inside.”
She found a tray and poured out a cl.u.s.ter of bright yellow powder that looked like sand from the pocket of the demon sealer.

“What is this?” Theresa’s curiosity overwhelmed the pain in her abdomen.
“This is a special plant from the Elf Forest named ‘Dry Blood Vine’.”
Princess Summer said, “It is said that the Dry Blood Vine is a plant with intelligence. Its vines are like the tentacles of a demon beast, which can wrap the prey tightly and suck their blood.
“After the elves pluck the Dry Blood Vine and burn it to ash, they grind it with special magical materials and turn it into ‘Blood Vine Ash’. It is the best material to absorb the devil blood and the devil soul.
“In the Jadeite Continent, the materials to make the Devil Sealing Bag are divided into three grades: high, middle, and low. Common women often use wood ash, which can also be used to suck blood, but its effect is not very good. The filling capacity is very large, and it will affect cultivation and combat. It is also easy to leak out and tarnish the holy environment. It is considered low-grade, and we don’t like to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
“Then, there is the ‘b.l.o.o.d.y Vine Ash’. Common n.o.bles and female warriors who are in need of combat will use it. It is a very precious item. Except for certain forests, few places can harvest it. It is even more impossible for the Blood Demon Sector to find the raw materials. Therefore, it can only be recycled!
Theresa nodded and took a breath. “What about the best?”
“High-grade is the ashes of vampires. It is said that the ashes of vampires can absorb and lock a huge amount of demonic blood.
Princess Summer opened her hands and said, “However, it is not easy to hunt down a vampire. Few people would look for and kill a vampire for such a reason. Therefore, a high-grade Demon Sealing Bag is hard to come by. I’ve never seen one even in the palace of the ‘Eagle Kingdom’. I’ve only read legends about it in an ancient book. I really want to try the high-grade Demon Sealing Bag!”
“That’s alright.”
Theresa blurted out, “There will be a day when I will definitely let you have a taste of something that is even better than top-grade. The feeling of the top-grade Demon Sealing Bag is as thin as a cicada’s wing, natural, and smooth as silk.”
“What are you mumbling about?”
“N-nothing. Please continue.”
“Listen carefully. This kind of thing is usually done by yourself. I can help you once or twice, but I can’t help you forever.”
Princess Summer said, “After you separate the Blood Vine Ash from the Demon Sealing Bag, you can wash and dry the bag with clean water and oil. As for the Blood Vine Ash, you must add some special fuel, ignite it again, and burn the ash again.
“Then, under certain conditions, it must be exposed to the sunlight. If it rains every day, or we are locked in a confined s.p.a.ce where we cannot see the sun at all, we can perform the Holy Light Technique and purify it with the Holy Light, or we can burn it several times and kill the devil that has been sealed.
“Lastly, stuff the Blood Vine Ash back into the Demon Sealing Bag. This is delicate work that requires a lot of patience. Don’t be impatient and think that it’s alright to leak a little bit. A Demon Sealing Bag needs to be used for a long time. If you leak a little bit this month and a little bit next month, then in the third month, there won’t be enough Blood Vine Ash in the Demon Sealing Bag. You might not be able to seal all the devils.”
“… I—I understand. Thank you, Sister Summer,” Theresa said shyly.
“Alright, then I’ll give this to you. After that, I’ll ask my sisters if they have any new ones. At the very least, I’ll give you one or two replacement ones.”
Princess Summer thought for a moment and said, “Thankfully, the Medusa Clan only wors.h.i.+ps the snake demons, not the snakes among the half-orcs. They have legs, too. I a.s.sume that they use the Devil Coat, too.
“Although there are no Dry Blood Vines in the Blood Demon Sector, I a.s.sume that there are similar materials. I’ll ask the medics here later and ask them to find new ones for my sisters. The demon-sealing bags that my sisters use have been removed and washed many times. They are no longer usable.
It was not until this moment that Theresa remembered. “That’s right. You’ve been silently enduring the devil’s curse during your adventures with Black Jack and the countless life-and-death battles!”
“Of course.”
Princess Summer smiled. “What’s wrong with that?”
“Were any of your sisters cursed by the devil during such fierce battles today?” asked Theresa.
“There are. There are dozens of sisters. Somebody is bound to be cursed. Besides, after staying together for a long time, the duration of the curse is becoming more and more consistent.
Princess Summer calculated for a moment. “Today, Sister Natasha and the other girls should be cursed.”
“What?”
Theresa was so surprised that she almost jumped to her feet. Clenching her fists, she said in disbelief, “Sister Natasha is cursed by the devil, and she is still so brave? Black Jack must know about it. How could he bear to send Sister Natasha to the battlefield where she is bleeding everywhere with such heavy wounds? How—how could he enjoy himself with other women?”
“Calm down.”
Princess Summer said, “This is how hard it is for a woman to travel. We are used to it.
“I’m not used to it.”
Theresa bellowed, “I will never get used to it, nor should I!”
Princess Summer smiled and patted Theresa’s head in silence.
Holding the devil-sealing pocket and her abdomen, Theresa was silent for a long time. Then she suddenly said softly, “It’s too hard to be a woman.”
“This is not bitter.
Princess Summer said, “The devil’s curse is nothing. Many women’s diseases are even more… Forget it. You are still young. You will find out later.”
“Black Jack shouldn’t have let you suffer like this.”
Theresa said, “Those stinky men are too bad!”
“Aren’t all men like this?”
Princess Summer said, “Master Black Jack is already the best man.”
“Bullsh*t. He is not a real man at all.”
Theresa gritted her teeth. “A real man should not let his woman suffer such pain. At the very least, he should be by her side, facing it together with her, enduring it, and… fighting side by side!”
“Here we go again. What a mischievous kid.”
Princess Summer said, “This is the first time you’ve been cursed by a devil. Do you know what a real man is?”
“Of course, I—”
Theresa was about to blurt out that she had been a real man in the past.
But he was lost again when he was about to speak.
She never knew that being a woman was so painful.
He had never faced, endured, or fought side by side with them when they were in pain.
These were just pretty words like soap bubbles.
At the end of the day, the only difference between her and Black Jack in the past was that she didn’t deceive or make use of the girls. It was all consensual.
But she never really cared about those girls. She never really loved or protected them.
She and Black Jack were on par with each other. There was no need for the pot calling the kettle black.
“You’re right.”
Theresa mumbled, “It’s true that I don’t… don’t know what a real man is.”
However—
Theresa lowered her head. The effect of the Blessing Spell gradually pa.s.sed. The pain in her abdomen spread out again, but the fire in her eyes was more intense than before.
She swore that she would figure out what a real man was at the end of the journey!
