Ever since he was young, no one knows Shentu Jingming better than Old Zuo, who watched this little prince grow up.
Shentu Jingming is the type of person who, if you call him stupid, he would unexpectedly show extraordinary cleverness in certain areas. Yet if you call him clever, sometimes heās remarkably easy to deceive.
The most crucial point is that once he sets his sights on something, heās so obstinately single-minded that even his Imperial Majesty, the Demon Emperor, sometimes canāt out-stubborn him.
Old Zuo doesnāt consider himself as resilient as the Demon Emperor, so naturally, he doesnāt go against him.
Moreover, the Third Prince forming an alliance with Wang Ruobing is akin to aligning with her backing force, equating to a connection with the resurgent Demonic Plant Honored One.
This outcome only benefits the Third Prince without any harm.
Should he truly aim for the throne of the Demon Emperor, these relationships would be his formidable leverage.
Time flashed by quickly.
Itās uncertain how much time has passed, but Artifact Spirit Lan Shan had also reached a conclusion. Everyone returned once again to the meeting room of the research institute.
At this moment, Senior Sister Green Fern had returned to her true appearance, blinking her pure eyes and looking at Wang Shouzhe: "Junior Brother, Iāve recalled quite a lot of things, but there are still many things I canāt remember."
Wang Shouzhe hurriedly stepped forward, asking with concern: "Senior Sister, can you tell me the truth of the matter?"
"Actually, Iām not very sure whether Iām truly the reincarnation of the Demonic Plant Honored One." Senior Sister Green Fern furrowed her brows, lost in thought, her expression somewhat vacant, "I vaguely recalled that back then, in order to experiment with a new type of rebirth method besides reincarnation, I indeed constructed a rebirth research institute, but the technology wasnāt mature enough."
"Later, we had a battle with a group of very powerful demons from another realm and encountered an especially formidable one. Though we eventually drove them back, we were severely injured, to the extent that my God Soul Core Imprint was on the verge of disintegration, so I had no choice but to hastily initiate the rebirth plan."
"We? Who else?" Wang Shouzhe felt a chill in his heart and quickly asked.
"Iām not sure, because the core imprint of my God Soul was severely damaged, I lost too many memories, coupled with the immature rebirth technology, so I remember very little, only vaguely recalling having some companions." Senior Sister Green Fern tried her best to remember but couldnāt make sense of it, her expression tinged with pain.
"Alright, alright, if you canāt remember, donāt force it." Wang Shouzhe patted her on the shoulder with concern, "Perhaps, as time goes by, youāll gradually remember everything."
"Are you feeling sorry for me?" Green Fern blinked and looked at Wang Shouzhe.
"Uh..." Wang Shouzhe felt a bit flustered under her gaze, but he braced himself and said, "I suppose, since we are on the same side, after all."
"Then, could you give me some of your life essence? I feel this is very important, related to a crucial experiment." Senior Sister Green Fern looked at Wang Shouzhe pitifully, her eyes full of expectation like a little kitten begging for food.
Again?
Wang Shouzheās face darkened, as he sternly refused: "Senior Sister, donāt bring up such matters again. I absolutely wonāt support you in conducting such experiments."
"I can give you money, arenāt you in need of money now?" With a casual gesture, Senior Sister Green Fern conjured a pile of top-quality Spirit Stones, numbering dozens, in her palm.
The surface of those top-quality Spirit Stones shimmered with a glossy luster, each piece exuding rich Spiritual Energy, looking extremely enticing.
So many top-quality Spirit Stones?
Wang Shouzhe gulped audibly, struggling to refuse, "No, no, itās not a matter of money, but a matter of principle."
"Zhoumei, you fool~" Interjected the Third Prince, anxiously circling around Wang Shouzhe, "Itās just life essence, selling her a bit, so what? These are dozens of top-quality Spirit Stones, coveted even by Transcendent Void Realm cultivators, deemed essential cultivation resources by True Demons and True Immortals!"
Of course, Wang Shouzhe knew the value of top-quality Spirit Stones.
Back when he explored the Blood Venerateās ruins, he acquired only nine top-quality Spirit Stones. But now, Senior Sister Green Fern had casually produced dozens of them, dazzling the eyes.
But this, it isnāt about calculation like that.
Wang Shouzhe fought against the temptation, still refusing, "I wonāt sell, if you want to sell, then sell your own."
The Third Prince, moved by desire, cheekily went to plead with Senior Sister Green Fern: "Uh, Miss Fern, would you like mine? I can sell it to you cheaper, ten, no, even eight will do!"
However, before Green Fern could answer, Old Ancestor Longyan couldnāt stand it any longer and grabbed him by the back, tossing him out.
Shentu Jingming turned into a streak of light, "BAM" "BAM," crashing through several houses consecutively before finally stopping, buried under a pile of rubble.
"Ruobing, Iām wrong, I wonāt sell, isnāt that enough?" The Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, crawled out from the wreckage, looking utterly miserable and pitiable.
"Dare to speak nonsense again, and Iāll cut off your head with a sword." Old Ancestor Longyanās phoenix eyes flashed sharply as her whole being emanated icy coldness.
"Yes, yes, Ruobing, whatever you say goes." Although the Third Prince was filled with envy, he dared not bring up the subject again.
Meanwhile, Senior Sister Green Fern showed no interest in even glancing at the Third Prince, instead continuing to gaze expectantly at Wang Shouzhe: "If you think itās not enough, I have something better."
With that, she flipped her hand, producing three [Immortal Spirit Stones] out of thin air.
