Jianmu said this and let out a long sigh, looking up and down at Christina.

"I've heard True Martial King is charming and attractive, with countless confidantes, and unexpectedly, I've met one."

Christina snorted, looking at Jianmu with indifference.

"Old man, I advise you not to meddle in True Martial King's affairs, and you shouldn't talk about his women either."

"Besides, however many Longevity Fruits you have, you might as well offer them up—more is better."

Jianmu seemed to think of True Martial King's means, shivered, and bitterly smiled.

"I didn't really believe you were True Martial King's woman, but now I do."

"Even your slick and shameless style of speaking is just like his."

Christina giggled and glanced at the unconscious Yang Fei on the ground.

"Speaking of shamelessness, you haven't experienced Yang Fei's skills yet. If he wakes up, you'll bleed even more."

Saying this, Christina looked at Jianmu with a half-smile.

"After all, however many Longevity Fruits you have, it's fine, just casually give a hundred or so."

Jianmu suddenly opened his mouth wide, incredulously saying: "How many?"

He said in exasperation: "I take five thousand years to produce one Longevity Fruit, and you casually demand a hundred, do you really think I'm like cabbage?"

Christina lazily looked at Jianmu, her beautiful face smiling ambiguously.

"I'm calling out a high price; you can bargain. If not a hundred, at least give fifty?"

Jianmu fiercely tugged at his graying beard.

"No way, at most I can give five. Anything more, you might as well kill me."

Christina chuckled, squinting.

"Then it's up to you, though I won't kill you."

"After all, we are friends, so I won't be too excessive."

"I might just display you in the city center for the Human Race to see."

"A talking tree is still a rarity for the Human Race."

Reaching this point, she blossomed into a mischievous smile, full of teasing.

"However, you know, among the Human Race there are gentlemen and vile people."

"Who knows if some hoodlums will break your branches?"

"Even if they don't break your branches, they might litter on you or even pee to fertilize you."

"After all, being able to pee on the World's Main God is quite an accomplishment."

Christina spoke, her face full of laughter.

"Of course, don't even think about escaping."

"I have ten thousand ways to hold you in place so you can't escape, do you believe it?"

Jianmu listened to Christina's slow speech, increasingly alarmed.

Although his Tao Fruit had been taken by Zeus and Yang Fei,

Having been the Lord of the World for tens of thousands of years couldn't bear humiliation from beings as humble as the Human Race.

Thinking this over, Jianmu seemed deflated, like a punctured balloon, drooping down.

He almost gritted his teeth, painfully saying: "I only have eight Longevity Fruits; take them if you want, I have no more."

"Alright, deal!"

Christina immediately answered with a crisp tone.

Jianmu was stunned, quickly realizing he'd been had by Christina.

This woman had pushed him to his limit; in desperation, he revealed his true stock.

This time, she really took him for everything.

Jianmu thought bitterly, his face forlorn.

Christina looked triumphantly at Xue Mingtai, An Zichen, and Sword Emperor, with a light hum.

"See, learn from this."

Yang Fei was still asleep, while Zeus had been sent to the Doomsday Battlefield by Jianmu.

At present, the most important task was finding Old Master Wang.

Christina asked Jianmu about Old Master Wang's whereabouts, Jianmu chuckled smugly.

"Rest assured, I've been favored by True Martial King, so naturally, I dare not neglect his mentors."

"Zeus ordered me to guard Elder Wang, but I've long since moved him to a secret location; he's fine now."

Upon hearing Jianmu's words, Xue Mingtai and An Zichen were overjoyed.

Ever since Old Master Wang was abducted, Xue Mingtai and An Zichen were constantly worried, fearful he might meet with danger.

Now, hearing Jianmu say he's safe, a great weight was lifted from their hearts.

Xue Mingtai stepped forward to Jianmu, bowing deeply and respectfully.

"Thank you, senior, for watching over our ancestral master; we juniors are sincerely grateful."

An Zichen, being cold and unsociable, usually disliked speaking with others.

Yet at this moment, they followed Xue Mingtai, bowing to Jianmu.

Jianmu chuckled.

"No need to thank me; though I'm old, I'm not muddle-headed."

"Someone as meritorious as Elder Wang is inherently blessed by the gods."

Christina sneered.

"The gods don't protect anyone. By the way, where is Old Master Wang?"

Listening to Christina's ridiculing tone, Jianmu chuckled and didn't argue.

He turned and walked down.

"Please follow me."

Yang Fei remained unconscious, and Sword Emperor carried him on his back.

Everyone followed Jianmu through winding passages.

All the way, Jianmu meandered through countless densely packed diverging paths, like a maze.

Seeing the astonished expressions of the group, Jianmu was somewhat pleased.

"These passages are the tree veins and vascular systems within me."

"Only I know the way in and out; Zeus couldn't find them no matter what."

Christina nodded, while Xue Mingtai, An Zichen, and Sword Emperor admired in silence.

This wonder of creation truly opened their minds.

If not for seeing it themselves, who would have thought there was such a towering tree behind the world?

Traveling along, parasitic plants occasionally grew on the sides of the passages, sometimes bearing fruit, fresh and fragrant.

Xue Mingtai saw Jianmu indifferent to these parasitic plants, and admired Jianmu's magnanimity.

He could actually tolerate these parasitic plants on his body, absorbing life energy.

Jianmu seemed to see through Xue Mingtai's thoughts, chuckled.

"These little creatures don't affect my survival."

"On the contrary, they help me eliminate pests and scratch itches."

"Their lifespans are very short, the longest no more than a hundred years."

"When they die and decompose, the life energy they absorb gets reabsorbed by me."

Saying this, Jianmu slowed his pace.

He picked a bright red fruit from vine plants on one side of the passage, handing it to Xue Mingtai.

"This is called Bodhi Fruit; martial artists can enhance their Essence Qi by eating it."

"If an ordinary person ate it, it could prolong life, not inferior to the Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng of the Human Realm."

Xue Mingtai was both surprised and delighted, looking at the thumb-sized Bodhi Fruit and putting it in his mouth.

Indeed, after the Bodhi Fruit was eaten, juice flooded out.

Soon, the juice turned into a warm energy, making the whole body comfortable and relaxed.

Xue Mingtai was elated, calling everyone to come forward and pick Bodhi Fruits.

An Zichen, Christina, Sword Emperor, and others, having battled Zeus, were already famished.

Everyone now, seeing so many Bodhi Fruits, used them to satisfy hunger.

After walking and stopping thus, about three to four hours later at a spacious tree hole.

Xue Mingtai and others finally saw Old Master Wang.
