Jiang Che looked around and found that Tiger Vanguard had indeed found quite a lot of things.

Three bamboo shoots emitting a soft purple glow, shrouded in spiritual qi, resembling jade carvings; nine earth-black, crescent-shaped spirit fruits; two vibrant green vines teeming with life.

"Not bad, Tiger Vanguard, well done, I am very satisfied!"

Jiang Che chuckled, looking at Tiger Vanguard with appreciation.

Tiger Vanguard is a good comrade indeed!

"My King, I will strive to bring more spiritual objects to you in the future!"

Elated by Jiang Che's praise, Tiger Vanguard felt a surge of motivation.

"Very good!"

Jiang Che nodded, then turned to the two big bears.

"Bear One, Bear Two, what about you two brothers?"

Bear One and Bear Two exchanged glances, their beady eyes darting around, as they reluctantly stepped forward.

"Hehe, My King, these are what we brothers are offering."

Bear One wore a goofy grin, rummaged around his belly, and pulled down four spirit dates stuck to his belly, laying them on the ground.

These spirit dates were crimson red, egg-sized, and emitted a strong fruity aroma.

"That's it? Bear One, you and Bear Two together found only this much? The two of you combined didn't even find as much as one Tiger Vanguard!"

After a few seconds without further words, Jiang Che was left speechless, glancing at Bear One and Bear Two.

"My King, hehe, don't be mad, we brothers are too clumsy, this is all we found."

"Next time, we'll definitely find more, find more."

Bear One looked troubled, giving Bear Two a nudge.

At that moment, Bear Two was staring intently at the pile of spirit fruits in front, mouth agape, drooling all over the place.

"My King, these two dumb bears are useless; I suggest we just eat them!"

Then, Tiger Vanguard stepped up with a suggestion, glancing disdainfully at the two bears.

These two dumb bears!

"Hmm, that's an interesting thought!"

Hearing this, Jiang Che nodded, giving Bear One a meaningful look.

This look made Bear One's heart tremble.

Knowing that the foul tiger had surely given a bad idea to the King, he quickly asked tentatively, "My King, what did Tiger Vanguard say?"

"Hehe, Tiger Vanguard said, since you two are useless, we might as well eat you up."

"I think he has a point. Bear One, what do you think?"

Jiang Che said with a cold smile.

"Ah!"

Bear One was scared to death, even Bear Two snapped back to reality, trembling all over.

"My King! My King! There's more, we have more spiritual objects to offer, we just forgot...forgot! Now we remember, please take a look."

The two bears huddled together in fear, Bear One hastily stretched out his paw, rummaging on Bear Two's belly, and pulled out seven more spirit dates, adding them to the fruit pile.

Seeing the spirit dates taken out, Bear Two felt a pang of heartache, full of reluctance, but dared not resist.

Seeing Bear One's action, Jiang Che was taken aback.

Well, well, you with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, playing tricks on me and secretly hiding some spirit fruits!

Tiger Vanguard was also incredulous as he looked at Bear One, his tiger eyes wide open.

These two dumb bears, daring to hide things, what audacity!

"My King, you see, we brothers are still useful, please don't eat us!"

Bear One pleaded pitifully, gazing at Jiang Che, their massive bear bodies trembling.

"My King, these two dumb bears aren't honest, I think they need a good lesson to remember."

Tiger Vanguard was fuming, offering strategies.

These two dumb bears dared to deceive the King, truly deserving of death.

"Alright, we'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again. You may withdraw now!"

"Don't waste time, there are other beasts with offerings?"

Jiang Che glanced at Tiger Vanguard, thinking to himself that he's not a good thing either, then spoke calmly.

Tiger Vanguard was a bit disappointed, but the King's words were the rule, and he had no choice but to retreat obediently.

"Thank you, My King!"

Bear One and Bear Two sighed in relief and skulked to the side.

However, while whispering to each other, they secretly glanced at Tiger Vanguard, evidently bearing a grudge against him.

"Hmph, you filthy tiger, just you wait!"

Tiger Vanguard noticed it but didn't care, looking over disdainfully.

These two dumb bears, how could they possibly be a match for Tiger Vanguard.

After dealing with these three rascals, Jiang Che turned to the white ox and other fierce beasts.

"Wu Da Lang, Niu Dali, and Chi Lian, you guys, come on over."

"My King, this is my offering of spiritual objects."

Then, the one-eyed green wolf was the first to step forward, offering a spirit fruit branch, with over a dozen lychee-like spirit fruits hanging from it, glistening like red crystals.

Wu Da Lang was quite solitary and spoke little, and after speaking, he retreated.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Che nodded, looking at Niu Dali.

Feeling Jiang Che's gaze, the white ox shivered and cautiously came over, shaking its head, dropping over a dozen rhombus-shaped white spiritual fruits from the back of its head onto the fruit pile.

After offering the spiritual fruits, the white ox seemed electrified, hurriedly retreating, not daring to stay too close to Jiang Che.

"So scared of me? Maybe the last beating gave it a psychological shadow! If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have used lightning so much..."

Seeing Niu Dali's actions, Jiang Che found it amusing.

"My King, this is mine."

Lastly, it was the Red-Scaled Giant Serpent—Chi Lian, who calmly stretched out his long snake tail, dropping over a dozen gray spirit fruits that resembled potatoes onto the fruit pile.

"Hmm, very good... everyone completed the task quite well!"

"Next time, use today as a standard, only more, not less."

"Alright! Everyone disperse!"

A moment later, Jiang Che dismissed the minions and eagerly returned to Peach Grove Valley with a pile of spiritual objects carried by spiritual power.

"Big brother, what's this..."

Nangong Luo looked at the pile of spirit fruits on the bluestone, somewhat surprised.

This is too much.

"Naturally, it's tribute from those subordinates of mine."

"It's great having subordinates to command; finally, I don't have to frequently go out of the valley to find spiritual objects!"

Jiang Che chuckled, feeling incredibly pleased.

"Gurgle!"

Little Zi, basking on the Bodhi Holy Tree, saw a pile of spirit fruits and immediately got excited.

Little Zi jumped down from the tree, came running over, and picked up a red date, not letting go, and the next moment, started munching on it.

"Oh, what a little glutton!"

Watching Little Zi with a smile in his eyes, Jiang Che shook his head helplessly.

Nangong Luo also chuckled.

But just then, the Bodhi Fruit Tree burst into light, its leaves shining like gold, radiating golden halos that continuously spread outward.

Jiang Che and Nangong Luo were both startled and quickly looked over.

They saw at the treetop of the Bodhi Holy Tree, surrounded by large streams of golden light, almost tangible, glowing, there were some golden fruits growing.
