Seeing Wang Zheng's burning gaze, Xiao Jin immediately raised the two wooden "arms" on its trunk in an attempt to cover its canopy.
His simple-minded appearance was exactly the same as Chu Xiaoman's when Wang Zheng would tap her on the head.
This act of guarding against thieves infuriated our young master Wang.
"Can't you learn something good? I can't even watch this anymore, Xiao Jin. What happened to our camaraderie from when we fought together?"
Wang Zheng's words only made things worse, as Xiao Jin immediately thought of the time when this guy said he would give her to the Demon King.
In addition, Wang Zheng had coveted his Golden Sun Fruit just half a month ago, so he quickly got up and hid behind Wang Shengrong.
He could sense the difference in strength and believed that the human he had helped this year would definitely be able to help deal with the great villain in the distance.
So they immediately sought refuge.
This little sapling doesn't have as many ulterior motives as humans. The reason it saves people is simply because it respects its own instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.
To be honest, he had only met Wang Shengrong a few times, and he could barely be considered a familiar face to both of them.
However, when Wang Shengrong was cultivating in the back mountain, the black and gold aura he emitted made it particularly fond of him, so when it saw him in danger, it didn't think too much about it and just followed its instincts to save him.
It can only be said that it was all destined...
Amidst Wang Shengrong's hearty laughter, Wang Zheng, seeing Xiao Jin's expression, was so angry he was practically fuming.
"If I really wanted to catch you, could you have escaped? You're so brainless!"
Despite his scolding, Wang Zheng thought to himself that since the little guy was willing to take the initiative to save people, it meant that the Golden Sun Fruit wasn't so irreplaceable to him.
So it seems that if there are enough benefits in exchange, it might not be impossible to negotiate.
Besides, this little guy genuinely helped his father successfully transcend the mortal realm. Even the principal said that without his Golden Sun Fruit, his father wouldn't have been able to break through...
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng immediately changed his approach and decided to take the barter route. So he took the initiative to speak to Xiao Jin, who was peeking out from behind his father:
"Don't worry, I will never try to take advantage of you again. Unless you take the initiative, I will not take a single penny from you, whether it is the fruit growing on your head or the golden liquid condensed in the giant tree. I mean what I say!"
At this point, sensing that the sapling seemed to have been weakened by the Golden Sun Fruit, Wang Zheng was quite generous.
To show his sincerity, he took out all the remaining pieces of the venomous python king's meat from his storage space and piled them under the roots of the giant tree.
Although there hasn't been a chance to test whether other humans besides himself can eat this demon king's flesh, it would definitely be very nourishing for Xiao Jin.
Moreover, judging from the way he drooled over the Crimson Flame Eagle King's body in Jingxiang, it would definitely provide some nourishment for this little guy.
As expected, things turned out exactly as Wang Zheng had predicted.
After he threw the pieces of meat over, feeling the rich spiritual energy contained in the demon king's flesh, Xiao Jin also expressed his joy in a very human way.
Not only did he step out from behind Wang Shengrong, but he was so excited that the branches and leaves of the entire giant tree trembled.
Meanwhile, thick tree roots kept being pulled out from the ground, dragging the chunks of flesh into the ground while excitedly slapping the ground, causing the entire experimental building to shake.
"Calm down, these are all for you. If you keep acting like this, I won't give them to you anymore!"
Watching Xiao Jin so happy he was practically flying, it wasn't until Wang Zheng had to threaten him to stop providing the Demon King's meat that the excited little guy finally calmed down.
After it dragged all the demon king's flesh into the ground, under the watchful eyes of Wang Zheng and the others, they saw that a new bud had sprouted from the spot where the Golden Sun Fruit had originally grown in the canopy of the little golden tree.
Upon witnessing this miraculous scene, Wang Zheng seemed thoughtful, and a few guesses began to form in his mind.
Humans eat Golden Sun Fruit, Little Golden eats strange beasts, and strange beasts eat humans, forming a perfect closed loop?
Although there are still some logical inconsistencies, seeing Xiao Jin's excited appearance and invigorated spirit, Wang Zheng guessed that the spiritual energy contained in these powerful beasts might be easier for him to absorb.
While Wang Zheng was frowning in thought, Chu Tianxing was startled to see the kid silently pull out so much demon king meat containing powerful spiritual energy.
Although he knew that Wang Zheng had killed the Poisonous Python King and skinned it to make several inner armors, he did not expect that Wang Zheng would keep all the meat of these strange beasts.
He thought Wang Zheng's storage space was too full and that all the meat had been thrown away.
Unprocessed beast meat is inedible; this is common knowledge known to all Awakened Ones.
Wang Zheng had never mentioned this matter, and he could sense the demon king's aura contained within the flesh and blood. Clearly, it hadn't been sent to the military region for assistance. He probably couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it.
He knew that Wang Zheng was always incredibly daring, and if he secretly kept the money for some dangerous experiment, it would ruin his own future if something went wrong.
Thinking of this, Old Chu said seriously:
"What are you doing leaving so much demon king flesh here, especially since it's unprocessed? Don't mess around and ruin your future."
Wang Zheng was pondering Xiao Jin's problem at the moment, and was taken aback when he heard this, but then immediately realized what was going on.
Faced with his principal's meticulous concern, he quickly smiled and explained:
"I understand. Don't you know me? I value my life the most, so I definitely won't do anything reckless. Besides, I don't lack spiritual energy, so you can rest assured."
Seeing the seriousness in Wang Zheng's voice, Chu Tianxing felt temporarily relieved.
Little did he know that Wang Zheng had not only planned this all along, but also that he had personally tasted the original beast meat while in Yunnan under the coercion of the Peacock Demon King.
Hmm... Even in Jingxiang a few days ago, he didn't give up the opportunity to increase his spiritual energy limit...
As for the experiment... it's just that Young Master Wang has been at school recently and hasn't found a suitable opportunity. Of course, he hasn't encountered any suicidal people either, so he has temporarily put this matter aside.
Wang Zheng didn't want to talk about this, so he immediately turned to the excited Xiao Jin and gestured as he spoke:
"Little Jin, I'm asking you this seriously: if I offer you a complete demon king's corpse in exchange, can you give me a single fruit in return?"
Seeing Wang Zheng gesturing, Xiao Jin seemed to understand what Wang Zheng meant. After thinking carefully for a while, she slowly stretched out her arm and in the blink of an eye, two branches stood up at the position of her palm.
It did the same thing again as when it brought it back.
That clearly meant, "One isn't enough, you have to pay more, you need two!"
Wang Zheng was initially overjoyed, but then he covered his forehead in pain with one hand.
"Damn it, I forgot this kid knows how to bargain. I should have said I'd trade one corpse for two fruits!"
