Everyone then cupped their fists and nodded, replying in unison. "Yes, Exalted Master." Zi Yu also retreated, but there was still resentment in her eyes.
Shen Ying didn't care. She just continued to eat her meal. Then … she quietly extended the time for her meal from the usual one hour to two hours.
And she even took out a few plates of pastries from time to time, eating as she walked. She even specially chose those that were fragrant and crispy. Crunch and a wave of fragrance wafted out, crunch and another wave of fragrance wafted out. It was so enticing that those disciples who claimed to be fasting in front couldn't help but turn back to look, there were even a few more demon beasts that appeared.
Fatty who was the closest: "…"
Fatty felt bitter, but he couldn't eat, so … he silently chanted the Clear Heart Incantation along the way.
This situation lasted for a few days, until she finished all the pastries in the bag, then she changed back to fruits.
At this time, the few of them had already completely entered the depths of the forest, they even encountered fifth-level demon beasts. This was already equivalent to Golden Core stage demon beasts, the nine of them were all injured to varying degrees. They didn't know if Fatty was really angered by them provoking Shen Ying to eat several times, but he didn't attack. In the end, it was Jian Xing who had the highest cultivation who held back the demon beasts, and the few of them escaped together.
This was the first time they faced such a dangerous situation, there was no longer the arrogant expression on their faces like when they first came here. Instead, there was a hint of fear, all of them had ugly expressions. After escaping danger, they chose a hidden place to rest and began to treat the injured. The injuries they suffered this time were many times more than before. Seven of the nine were injured, even Jian Xing who was in the late stages of Sword Establishment had a cut on his hand, deep to the bone.
Fatty hesitated for a moment, but still didn't help them, to cultivators, this bit of injury was actually nothing much. Only one of them hurt his meridians, but the situation wasn't critical, he would be fine after slowly recuperating when he returned, plus the tribulation wasn't over yet.
So he only stood far away, Shen Ying who was beside him also munched on her fruit calmly.
"Sister Shen, are you eating the Red Spirit Fruit?" Suddenly, a light voice sounded, the green-robed girl among the nine was looking at … the fruit in her hand with sparkling eyes.
Shen Ying tilted her head and replied, "I guess so." Chef planted them anyway, she only cared about eating them.
"It is indeed the Red Spirit Fruit." Fatty took a look and nodded in affirmation.
The girl's expression became even more pleasantly surprised. "Rumor has it that the Red Spirit Fruit is a rare spirit fruit. It blooms for a hundred years and bears fruit for a hundred years. It can also cure hundreds of poisons, heal meridians, and strengthen divine sense. "
Shen Ying took another bite and replied, "Oh."
The girl froze for a moment, thinking that Shen Ying did not understand, so she bowed respectfully and said, "Sister Shen, I wonder if you still remember me. I am Zhi Lin, I met you a few years ago at the back of the mountain. "
"I don't remember!" Shen Ying answered directly.
Zhi Lin's expression stiffened, as if she had been slapped in the face, but she still maintained her kind smile and said, "Sister Shen … Senior Brother Cheng Dong is seriously injured, and his meridians are even injured. Our cultivation levels are low, so we can't heal him. Coincidentally, you have this Red Spirit Fruit, can you … can you … "She did not continue, and only stared at the fruit in her hand.
Shen Ying did not reply, but took another big bite. "Can I what?" As if she did not hear the meaning of her words at all.
Zhi Lin's expression stiffened even more, and she could only grit her teeth and continue, "Can you, give this fruit in your hand … to Senior Brother Cheng Dong to heal."
"Oh …" Shen Ying's eyes narrowed. "You want my fruit?"
"It's Senior Brother Cheng Dong who needs it. His injuries are serious and cannot be delayed. Sister Shen, please give him a Red Spirit Fruit on account that we are from the same sect." Zhi Lin said worriedly. Even the people who were healing over there all looked over. Especially the injured disciple, his eyes were filled with gratitude.
Shen Ying tilted her head, and then took out seven to eight red fruits from the bag. "Is this it?"
Zhi Lin's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously. "Yes yes yes, this is it." With that said, she reached out to take it. "Thank …"
Before she could finish, Shen Ying retracted her hand, causing her to grab empty air. Suddenly, she revealed a radiant smile at her. "Heh heh, I'm not giving it!"
With that said, she even picked one up and took a bite, then put it down right in front of her, then picked up another and took a bite, then put it down again … until she had bitten all of them once. Instantly, there was only the sound of her crunching and chewing left.
Zhi Lin: "…"
Fatty: "…"
Everyone: "…"
Everyone's faces darkened.
"You're too much!" Zi Yu walked over angrily, as if she could not hold it in anymore, she pointed at Shen Ying and said loudly, "Never mind that you've been holding us back along the way, now that Cheng Dong is already so seriously injured, you're actually not even willing to give a fruit. And … And … You're simply rotten to the core! "
"Zi Yu!" Fatty who was stunned by Shen Ying's coquettish actions finally regained his senses. "Don't be rude."
"I didn't say anything wrong!" She seemed to be so angry that she started criticizing without a care. "She's been holding us back all along, and even teasing Little Sister Zhi Lin just now? No matter how high her cultivation is, she can't bully others like that. "
"That's right." Perhaps because someone spoke up, the other disciples who were recuperating also spoke up.
"It's just a fruit, she clearly has so many, but she's not willing to take any out."
"That's right, we're from the same sect after all, why is she so heartless?"
"Never mind that she didn't do anything along the way, she's even been eating and making noises that disturb us."
"That's right, who knows, that high-level demon beast might have been lured out by the sounds of her eating."
The more everyone spoke, the more agitated they became. Apart from a few older people who looked troubled and did not utter a word, only Jian Xing did not speak, but his brows were also tightly knitted. Zhi Lin, on the other hand, spoke words of persuasion with a face full of anxiety, but there was a faint hint of something else in her words. "Everyone is mistaken, Big Sister Shen doesn't mean that, she's not targeting me on purpose!"
Hence, the more she persuaded, the more agitated everyone became, as if all the emotions that had been accumulated for many days were all unleashed.
"Insolence!" Until Fatty could no longer hold it in and released his suppression. Only then did everyone fall silent, one by one, they were forced to kneel down. Fatty was really angry, where did these people get their sense of righteousness from? "The fruit is Miss Shen's to begin with, it's up to her whether to give it or not. Giving it to you is a favor, not giving it is a duty. Where did you get the face to think that she must take it out to you? "
He swept a glance at everyone, the more he looked, the angrier he got. "Moreover, this is your training, Miss Shen and I are just guides and guards. Sooner or later, you will also experience true danger, now you can't even take this little injury, when that time comes … where are you going to find Miss Shen and force her to give you the fruit? "
