Chapter 920: Chapter 229: Choice, White Tiger [3-in-1] (2)
So Fang Che also tried hard to restrain himself.
After all, if you upset the tigress, you’ll only end up in trouble yourself.
"Next, why don’t we practice by the lake for a few days?"
Fang Che suggested: "Try to get closer to the lake. First, the nature’s spiritual energy is dense there, and second, it’s convenient for escaping. Consider it a precaution."
"Alright."
Yan Beihan said: "I have only two questions. First, why does the little guy snuggle into your arms every time we practice, but not mine?"
Fang Che blinked: "How should I know?"
In fact, he understood in his heart that it was because of his Infinite Scripture.
Yan Beihan said: "The second question is, my talent is the top-tier Phoenix Body Talent; while your talent is also top-tier, it’s at most on par with mine. But why is it that even when I use supplements and resources for cultivation, your cultivation speed still doesn’t fall behind mine?"
Fang Che’s face twisted: "Sister, you’ve broken through a Marquis realm, and I’ve broken through a Martial General level. The True Qi level required, you must know how different that is? Does such a question need asking? Are you insulting me?"
Yan Beihan was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "Right, right, I overlooked that."
The topic was brushed aside.
After a while, Yan Beihan remembered: But still, it doesn’t make sense. I used so many resources, and you’re just absorbing hard directly from nature, yet your speed remains unbelievable.
However, she was too embarrassed to voice it out.
So she kept it to herself.
And with this reasoning, Fang Che got even bolder, constantly reaching out: "Lend me some more cultivation resources, I’ll pay you back when we get out."
"You wouldn’t want me to be too weak, dragging you down, leading to our deaths, would you?"
"Just a little bit, and it’s a loan. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you back once we’re out. As the dignified Guardian of the Great Hall, am I likely to default?"
"Besides, I can’t afford to offend you either."
"..."
Fang Che wielded his glib tongue, using all sorts of reasons.
Yan Beihan, knowing Fang Che’s identity as Yemo, intentionally held back, gradually... Mr. Fang borrowed more and more, visibly piling up debts.
These past days, even Yan Beihan herself was muddle-headed about how much she had lent out.
With nothing happening for several days, neither of them wanted to leave.
It was safe.
And the spiritual energy was incredibly dense.
"The powerful entity occupying this place shouldn’t mind or notice us, right?"
Yan Beihan asked hopefully.
"Let’s hope so." Fang Che sighed: "But the powerful entity here didn’t even spare an ant... showing how strong its sense of exclusive ownership is."
Yan Beihan’s self-consoling good mood was dispelled by Fang Che.
For a moment, she was fuming.
"You can’t manage a single pleasant word with that mouth of yours."
Yan Beihan said angrily.
"Just because the words are nice doesn’t mean the environment will improve. If it could, I’d wish you Happy New Year every day."
Fang Che mused: "I’m just pondering a question. Can’t figure it out."
"What question?"
"According to the traces we’ve found, there should have been insects and ants and such here decades ago, right?" Fang Che asked.
"Yes. Because if it were more than decades ago, even those traces would be hard to find, given how minute they are." Yan Beihan nodded.
"But the powerful Demon Beast occupying this place should have a long lifespan, right?"
"Yes."
"So this powerful Demon Beast has been occupying this place not for a short time, right?"
"Of course."
"Then why did it clear these out decades ago? Fang Che asked: "Why specifically at that point in time decades ago to do such territory cleaning?"
"This..." Yan Beihan was taken aback.
"It can’t be that this powerful Demon Beast only settled here decades ago, right?" Fang Che pressed.
"That should be impossible."
Yan Beihan clearly knew that it takes more than decades for such a powerful Demon Beast to mark such a vast territory as its own.
"If it had only arrived decades ago, then the battles between Demon Beasts should still be ongoing."
"Indeed."
Fang Che furrowed his brows: "So the question is: having occupied this place for a very long time, at least hundreds or thousands of years, why did it clear everything away just decades ago?"
Yan Beihan: "..."
"And there’s another question... no matter how powerful a Demon Beast is, it still needs to eat."
Fang Che said: "It tidied up its territory so thoroughly that not even an ant remains, so what does this Demon Beast eat? It can’t be a herbivore, right? Eating leaves?"
Yan Beihan’s eyes widened, suddenly shocked: "Right, what does it eat?"
The two looked at each other.
This really is a big problem!
Even if it retreats into solitary practice for decades without eating or drinking, once it wakes up it still needs to eat something, right?
"Some Demon Beasts can directly consume spiritual energy without needing to eat and can continue getting stronger... but we don’t know what realm the Demon Beast here is at."
Yan Beihan said: "And the spiritual energy in this area is very dense; the deeper, the denser, as if it’s a Qi Vortex, which coincides with this phenomenon."
Fang Che furrowed his brow: "Are you saying... because it continuously devours nature’s spiritual energy here, it creates a spiritual energy vacuum, causing spiritual energy to collapse inward and quickly fill this space?"
"Yes!"
Fang Che was silent for a while, then said: "It’s not impossible..."
