Chapter 1158

Shi Huang: "One hundred billion points? How much is that?"

Su Xiao: "It's just a lot, that's all."

Zhang Taixuan: "If that's the case, then choose the Blood Bodhi."

Su Xiao: "??? Don't fool me— is the Blood Bodhi really that powerful?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Don't forget, Huang is still weak—he's not yet an Immortal King or Immortal Emperor. The Blood Bodhi is already highly beneficial for him."

Zhang Taixuan: "Just picked a bit of Blood Bodhi—new members get it. 【Red Packet】"

Hu Yifei: "That's true!"

【Ding, Shi Huang claimed the red packet.】

【Ding, Feng Chengcheng claimed the red packet.】

【Ding, King of the Jungle claimed the red packet.】

Shi Huang: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

Feng Chengcheng: "Thank you, Brother Taixuan."

King of the Jungle: "Thanks."

Su Xiao: "Little Snake, don't you want to change your name?"

King of the Jungle: "Name? Why need a name?"

Hu Yifei: "Su Xiao, you're being ridiculous. Asking a snake that just gained sentience to pick a name is too much."

Zhang Taixuan: "No need to force it. By the way, @King of the Jungle, when you eat the Blood Bodhi, you might as well claim the Enlightenment Technique first—you'll be able to transform into human form then. Of course, if you prefer your beast form, no need to force it."

If you prefer beast form, there's no need to force yourself.

King of the Jungle: "I don't want to become human! Humans are so small, not as strong as me!"

Su Xiao: "So you won't transform?"

Sun Wukong: "That's perfectly normal."

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Indeed, quite normal."

Hu Yifei: "I think I'm starting to understand why male demons in Journey to the West all have terrifying beast features. To us, they look hideous—but to them, perhaps they're beautiful?"

Is she very beautiful?

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Exactly. For example, a boar's tusks—humans find them terrifying, but to the boar, they're weapons, so naturally they're proud of them."

Su Xiao: "What about female demons?"

Zhang Taixuan: "You forgot one thing—in nature, males are more beautiful and more focused on appearance because they court mates. Females have no such requirement, so they don't need to retain beast features and can transform freely. This is the opposite of humans—human females are the ones who care more about appearance!"

Those who retain beast features can shift form freely. This is the opposite of humans—humans are the ones where females care more about appearance!

Xiao Yan: "I always thought female demons cared more about appearance, so they shed their beast features when transforming. So in beast eyes, male demons keeping their beast features are beautiful?"

Is beautiful!

Jin Chan: "It's normal you didn't know. After all, species differ, so do aesthetics."

Hu Yifei: "I checked—nature really does favor more beautiful, appearance-conscious males. So all these years we misunderstood. It's not that male demons don't care about appearance and transform carelessly—it's that they care too much, so they keep their beast features."

Their appearance is not crude because they're careless in shifting form, but because they care too much, so they retain their beast features.

Xu Yeyue: "Truly unexpected."

Su Xiao: "@King of the Jungle, if you were to transform, what beast features would you keep?"

King of the Jungle: "I won't transform!"

Hu Yifei: "She meant if you had to!"

King of the Jungle: "Scales! My scales are so beautiful—I absolutely won't give them up."

Su Xiao:

Shi Village.

Shi Huang activated his thoughts and took out the items from the red packet—three bright red fruits.

Immortal light rose from these fruits, emitting an enticing fragrance.

Even the Willow God cast a glance.

"What is this?" the Willow God asked in surprise. "Why do I feel something so peculiar about it?"

Shi Huang: "These are Brother Taixuan's gift to us—a spiritual fruit called Blood Bodhi, said to replenish my bodily origin. Willow God, do you want some?"

He raised the fruit in his hand.

The Willow God's branch gently reached out, snatching a wisp of immortal light and slowly refining it.

The next moment, the Willow God's branch trembled slightly.

In Shi Huang's astonished gaze, a small piece of charred bark peeled off the Willow God's blackened trunk.

And the Willow's branch visibly sprouted a new shoot.

"What is this! Why such potent nourishment?"

The Willow God was stunned.

Seeing the Willow God's state, Shi Huang knew the Blood Bodhi was greatly beneficial to her, and hurriedly said: "Willow God, take all of them."

"I don't need them," the Willow God waved her branch in refusal. "You're the one who needs to replenish your origin now."

"I can cultivate on my own," Shi Huang quickly said. "You've seen—I can succeed in cultivation even without these spiritual fruits."

"No," the Willow God was firm. "You must strive in your cultivation—these spiritual fruits are essential. Didn't you say you'll save your friends later? I can cultivate slowly."

Shi Huang immediately grew anxious.

"This won't do!"

Suddenly, he thought of the chat group.

Shi Huang: "Just now, the Willow God took a wisp of Bai Guang from the Blood Bodhi and recovered some strength—what was that?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That should be a wisp of immortal Qi."

Shi Huang: "Immortal Qi? Is it for sale? I want to buy some for Willow God."

Zhang Taixuan: "You can buy it. I've put one measure up for sale; go buy it. Once she refines this measure of immortal Qi, her injuries should roughly be healed."

Shi Huang: "Thanks, Brother Taixuan!"
