Chapter 1030
A moment later, outside the city.
Qin He was leaning carelessly on a recliner. In front of him was a table with three plates of green fruits on it.
Behind the fruit plate was the Third Ancestor, whose face was twitching but who was trying hard to suppress it.
Qin He said that if the Third Ancestor wanted to eat the fruit, he had to stay and eat it. If he didn't, it would be a lack of respect.
Once a strong person makes a move, you will know whether he has the strength or not.
Third Ancestor, I dare not disrespect you.
Especially the old wolf ancestor, his face was withered at the moment, and he looked as miserable as he could be.
As a master in the late stage of Shenqiao, he was unable to even maintain his dignity. It was obvious how deeply the injury was. Langqing dug it out from a depth of dozens of feet underground.
The fruit served to them is called the snakeberry.
It is a sour and astringent wild fruit. If it is not ripe, it is slightly poisonous. It does not contain any spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It grows on the edge of the desert. Only people who are about to die of thirst or starvation will use this fruit to fill their stomachs.
This is definitely not "good fruit".
On the other hand, in front of Qin He was a plate of dark-colored fruits that were emitting a faint glow and were crystal clear and smooth.
It was the Mo Ling Fruit from Black Wind Mountain!
There were more than thirty pieces in the full plate.
With such a large number, it would be difficult to collect even if the three of them went there in person.
Qin He casually picked up a Mo Ling Fruit and put it into his mouth, saying with a half-smile, "Why don't you eat it, you three?"
A trace of anger flashed across Huang He Laojun's face, and he said, "Your Majesty, we are ashamed of our lack of strength, but are you deliberately trying to humiliate us?"
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated." The Scorpion King also hurriedly agreed.
How could they eat a common thing like the snakeberry, which is even despised by wild boars?
"What about you?" Qin He was not angry, but looked at the old wolf ancestor.
"How can such coarse food enter our mouths? I have no words to say if I am not strong enough. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. As the ancestors of our clan, we will never be bullied." The old wolf ancestor said more.
Each one of them is of iron will.
Qin He stared intently at the three people in front of him, carefully observing every subtle change in their expressions. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate their hearts and see through their true thoughts.
After some observation, Qin He was surprised to find that although these three people valued their lives very much, their words showed that they were not entirely false. You know, for cultivators, when their cultivation reaches a certain level, their state of mind will also undergo countless tempering and sublimation. In this process, their views and attitudes towards all things in the world will undergo profound changes.
Although seeking benefits and avoiding harm is an instinctive reaction of human beings, for these seasoned monks, this instinct can no longer allow them to completely abandon their "self" and bow down to others.
"So, you all want to eat this?" Qin He pushed the Mo Ling fruit plate forward and asked with a smile.
"The Mo Ling Fruit is passable." said the Scorpion King.
"What do you mean, great immortal? Why don't you just come straight to the point?" Huang He Laojun asked directly. Good fruit and bad fruit are just a metaphor.
For these old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, this is not difficult to understand.
"Okay, then I'll just tell you."
Qin He smiled and said, "I just feel that keeping you three old bones around is still useful. If you can lend me a hand in the near future, today's matter will be written off."
"What do you mean by giving you a helping hand?" asked the Yellow River Lord hurriedly.
