Chapter 148: Threatening the Holy Infant Tree
“Fuck! My cheap old man really has guts; he actually dares to take a demon cultivator as a concubine in his harem!”
At that moment, a scene began to unfold in Qin Bei’s mind.
Emperor Xia stood atop a towering pile of bones, facing thousands of upright cultivators. With a grand wave of his hand, he declared, “This woman, I, Qin Wuhen, will protect today—no one can stop her!”
The thousands of upright cultivators, wary of Emperor Xia’s power, began to retreat, creating a legendary tale…
Of course, all of this was merely Qin Bei’s vivid imagination. In reality, no one in the entire Great Xia, or even across the Cangzhou Continent, knew that Emperor Xia had taken a demon cultivator as a concubine.
“Alas, so dull! I thought I could catch a spy, make a contribution, and earn some spirit stones. Now it seems I was overthinking it.”
With a helpless sigh, Qin Bei turned and prepared to leave.
After walking not too far, Qin Bei’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands.
Clap~
“Who said knowing this is useless?”
Hahahaha~
As he laughed, Qin Bei raced toward the Holy Infant Tree.
Whimper~ Whimper~
A bunch of whimpering monsters saw Qin Bei approaching and began to feel uneasy, whimpering nonstop.
However, Qin Bei wasn’t in the mood to pay them any mind. Instead, he looked up at the towering tree before him, the Holy Infant Tree.
“Grandpa, I just want one Holy Infant Fruit, alright? Really, just one.”
Qin Bei spoke earnestly.
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~~
Without any wind, the branches of the Holy Infant Tree moved, clearly rejecting Qin Bei’s request.
“I know you can talk, so don’t play coy. I’ve said my nice words; don’t force me to resort to force!”
Seeing that the Holy Infant Tree was unmoved only added to Qin Bei’s irritation, and he placed his hands on his hips, shouting out loud.
Hahaha~ I’ve been here for so many years, and no one dares to be forceful! You’re the first.
An old voice emanated from within the Holy Infant Tree, replying to Qin Bei’s words.
“Fuck! I knew those long-lived fellows are monsters and can definitely talk!”
Qin Bei couldn’t help but complain first before continuing, “Old man, I’m still talking nicely to you right now. If you’re smart, you’ll comply and give me a Holy Infant Fruit. Otherwise, one fruit won’t be enough to resolve things shortly.”
Hahaha~ Alright! You speak, I listen. I can’t wait to see what you, a little Golden Core cultivator, can do about it.
The old voice remained skeptical, clearly unimpressed by Qin Bei’s bravado.
“Fine! Since you don’t want to drink the toast, I’ll serve you a cup of penalty wine!”
With a casual wave, Qin Bei conjured an image from thin air.
This was a scene recorded by his Double Pupils technique.
In the image, with the aid of his Double Pupils, faintly leaking demon aura could be seen by the naked eye.
This sight left the Holy Infant Tree utterly astonished.
The final scene portrayed the imperial concubine walking out of the Holy Infant Tree, bowing in respect before departing.
“You have some tricks, but showing me this is pointless. Since you’ve seen it, you should understand this isn’t something I can control alone. Your father is the mastermind behind this; I’m just following orders.”
The Holy Infant Tree’s tone remained calm.
After all, he was just following orders. Even if discovered, he didn’t consider it a big deal.
Even if the imperial concubine being a demon cultivator became known, he believed he wouldn’t be at fault.
After all, he had always acted this way. Previously, while helping the imperial concubine suppress her demonic energy, there hadn’t been any powerful cultivators around.
As for the surprise that Qin Bei, a Golden Core realm cultivator, could see through his disguise, that was more the fault of the person before him than his own.
If anyone was to blame, it was the imperial guards outside and this person who had recklessly intruded into the imperial garden.
So the Holy Infant Tree felt that regardless of the outcome, he would ultimately be safe.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that the person before him was Qin Bei, Prince Bei!
A ruthless man who plucks the feathers of passing geese and leaves beasts with nothing but their skins!
