Wang Baole felt that it was not because he was greedy, but because the red fruit was very tempting. It looked very delicious at first glance, so he could not help but have a desire to eat it.
"That must be it. Otherwise, how could I want to eat something when I don't even have real internal organs?" Wang Baole touched his stomach. When he looked at the red fruits, he felt that they were more and more detestable.
Wang Baole felt that he had to eat such detestable food. That would be the greatest punishment for them. With that thought in mind, he immediately felt energized. However, Wang Baole also understood that the fruits were obviously placed there. Furthermore, no one had gone to retrieve them after so many days. That was enough to explain the problem.
He was basically sure that these fruits could not be obtained by the prodigies on the boat. Either there was a restriction, or the paper figurine rowing the boat did not allow it.
It's fine if it's a restriction. At most, I won't punish them. However, if the paper human cutout doesn't allow it … Wang Baole blinked. He felt that he and the paper human cutout who was rowing the boat had some sort of relationship. That was especially so since the paper human cutout in his storage ring was definitely related to the paper human cutout. It was highly likely that they knew each other.
This gave Wang Baole confidence. He thought, "Even if you don't want me to help row the boat, at least let me eat the fruit." Thinking of this, Wang Baole immediately stood up from his meditation. His standing up quickly attracted the attention of some of the surrounding prodigies.
There was no doubt that Wang Baole was an extremely special person among them. Previously, he had come up to row the boat. Then, with the help of the Starfall Emissary, he had boarded the boat again and snatched a spot in front of everyone. All of this showed that he was special. Therefore, even those who did not seem to care were actually paying attention to his every move.
Especially Li Linzi, Wang Yishan, and the others who had conflicts with Wang Baole before. Although they looked disdainful on the surface, they were actually afraid of him. At this moment, when they saw Wang Baole stand up again, they all looked at him.
Therefore, they saw Wang Baole get up and go straight to … the altar at the stern of the boat. Almost instantly, the onlookers understood what Wang Baole was thinking.
"Is he going to eat the fruit?"
After understanding this, the prodigies did not immediately show any other emotions. Instead, they observed. After all, Wang Baole's performance had been extraordinary, and it was obvious that the Starfall Emissary's attitude towards him was different from the others. Therefore, even if they felt that the possibility of him eating the fruit was close to zero, it was not good for them to immediately make a judgment.
Wang Baole did not pay attention to the gazes of those people. At that moment, his body flashed and he rapidly approached the stern of the boat. In an instant, he was about to step onto the altar when suddenly, the paper doll who was rowing the boat raised the paper oar in its hand. It did not seem to cast any spell, but a ripple spread out, and Wang Baole, who was near the altar, trembled.
He only felt a strong force erupting from the altar, sweeping towards him as if it could topple mountains and overturn seas. He did not have time to dodge and was instantly enveloped. It was as if someone had pushed him hard. He could not stand steadily and fell back. Even his cultivation was unstable at that moment, making Wang Baole feel as if the world was spinning.
Seeing this, many of the onlookers sneered and felt even more gratified. They had long been jealous of the Starfall Emissary's attitude towards Wang Baole. At that moment, seeing that Wang Baole was the same as them, they all felt happy.
"There must be something wrong with Xie Dalu's head. These fruits have always been there. If they could be touched at will, we would have taken them away long ago!"
"It seems that he's just a stupid person. The fruits on the Starfall Boat have been recorded in the ancient books of every family since ancient times. So far, only one person has successfully obtained one, and that is the Never-Ending Clan's Third Prince. With his outstanding talent, he obtained one!"
Although the onlookers' thoughts stopped in their minds, Li Linzi and the others did not say anything, but the disdain and ridicule on their faces became more and more obvious.
Li Linzi, in particular, seemed to feel that he had missed the opportunity to ridicule by not saying anything, so he sneered with a disdainful look.
"I didn't expect there to be such a fool. Xie Dalu, don't you know that only one person has obtained the Spirit Spiritual Fruit on the Starfall Boat since ancient times? Do you think you're the second one?"
As soon as he said that, Wang Yishan and the others beside him laughed one after another.
Hearing their laughter and seeing the expressions of the onlookers, Wang Baole, who was slowly stabilizing his cultivation, felt a little annoyed and angry at the same time. He glared at them and thought to himself, I don't believe it. So he snorted, sat there, and reached his right hand into his storage bag to take out the wishing bottle.
At this moment, he did not care about the side effects of the wishing bottle. Even if there was lightning, there was the Specter Boat to resist it. Thinking of this, he directly made a wish in his heart.
"I want that fruit!"
The bottle did not respond.
"I want to go to the altar!"
The bottle still did not respond. Wang Baole sighed in his heart. Feeling more and more disappointed with the wishing bottle, he thought for a moment, then tried to make another wish.
"I wish that the paper men on the boat will not stop me!"
As soon as the words appeared in his heart, Wang Baole's body trembled violently. He could feel the heat flowing from the wishing bottle, and his heart could not help but be filled with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. His breathing quickened slightly. He had only tried to make a wish because he felt indignant, but he did not expect that he would succeed on the third try.
So he sat there and looked at the paper men who were still rowing the boat. Wang Baole blinked and thought for a moment. He gritted his teeth and put the wishing bottle away. Under the gazes of the onlookers, he stood up again.
"You still want to try? Xie Dalu, I admire your courage. Do your best! "Li Linzi glanced at Wang Baole and said mockingly.
"Li Linzi, watch your daddy carefully!" Wang Baole did not have the temper to suffer losses. When he heard Li Linzi's repeated mockery, he looked over coldly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The cold glint made Li Linzi narrow his eyes. His companions beside him also had a glint in their eyes, and they looked unfriendly. It was obvious that if Wang Baole were to really make a move here, they would definitely not sit back and watch.
Wang Baole looked coldly at Li Linzi and the others, then snorted coldly and walked directly to the altar. This time, he moved at the same speed as before. In an instant, he closed in and was about to step onto the altar. Last time, he had been chased away by the paper men here.
When they saw this, Li Linzi and the others smiled coldly. The other prodigies also looked over calmly. Their expressions were more or less filled with disdain. Clearly, everyone believed that it was impossible to eat the fruit.
However, even as their expressions filled their faces, Wang Baole leaped up and landed directly next to the altar!!
The paper men didn't try to stop him. They continued to row the boat, as if they hadn't noticed what Wang Baole was doing.
Everyone's eyes went wide, and their minds buzzed. Even the masked woman opened her eyes, and it was difficult for her to conceal the shock in them.
The shock that filled everyone's hearts was like a tidal wave. Everyone froze on the spot as they watched Wang Baole reach the altar, lift his hand, and pick up one of the fruits. He placed it near his mouth, and with a crunch, he ate half of it!
Wang Baole's heart was filled with delight. He had the feeling that his wishing bottle had been very useful. His dreams had come true. The paper men didn't try to stop him. That was especially true when he ate the fruit. As soon as it entered his mouth, a fragrant aroma filled his mouth. It was like a nectar that instantly spread throughout his body. What followed was a pleasurable feeling. Wang Baole quickly ate a few more mouthfuls, then swallowed the rest of the fruit, including the skin and the core. He burped, then looked over at the Chosen, whose eyes were so wide that they seemed to be on the verge of popping out of their heads.
"The taste isn't … huh??"
