"With these spiritual medicines, quickly refine elixir pills, strengthen foundation and vital energy with top-grade elixir pills, refine many, enough to supply rewards for the top ranks in the continent’s genius selection, and continuously solidify the foundation... Little Xue, there is finally hope for the continent’s future."

"These Black and White Ginseng Fruits... refining elixir pills with them will also yield extraordinary effects."

"And then there’s... Little Xue, this is great, truly great. This batch of resources is both vast and timely."

Dongfang Sansan counted, framing his fingers, calculating where needs to be fulfilled, what can be supplemented.

His face beamed, even his eyebrows smiled.

Yet Xue Fuxiao only felt a vague heartache.

Sansan has indeed been too poor these years.

Guardians have always lacked resources.

For all these years, Dongfang Sansan has constantly been in the situation of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

He is like a housewife in a family with no rice left to cook but still has to cook meals that can sustain the family!

Others might not endure such a life for even a month before breaking down.

However, Dongfang Sansan has lived such a life for over ten thousand years!

Over ten thousand years, and Xue Fuxiao has never seen Dongfang Sansan as happy as he is today.

But precisely because of this, he felt increasingly uncomfortable. The poignant emotions surged up in waves.

"You’ve thought so much, but didn’t consider that with the True Soul Yin Yang Root, you could eat a little bit yourself? If you ate it, it could replenish your Divine Soul, restore all the hard work and exhausted Soul Consciousness over these years, couldn’t it?"

Xue Fuxiao spoke coldly.

Dongfang Sansan laughed heartily, happily saying, "These can accomplish so much! Eating them myself would be such a waste. Even if I don’t eat them, who under heaven can surpass me? Haven’t you seen that the entire Weiwo Zheng Sect is now under my calculations?"

Xue Fuxiao ignored Dongfang Sansan’s bragging, instead angrily saying, "How much can you eat? A tenth of the root would suffice, at most, just about a hundred pounds, and you’d be in perfect condition! How many are here? Over seventy thousand pounds! What’s wrong with you eating a hundred pounds? Is it wasteful? Huh?!"

Dongfang Sansan felt heartache instantly and said, "A hundred pounds, you speak lightly, but do you know how many Guardians..."

"Fang Che himself knew to leave two for his wife, what’s wrong with you eating some?"

"Fang Che should eat it; he earned it by risking his life, so why shouldn’t he?"

Dongfang Sansan replied, "But we are just taking advantage and benefiting without effort. Think about how much effort Fang Che put in, how much suffering he endured to obtain these resources, and I’m supposed to eat them without feeling guilty? How could I get over it? These belong to all Guardians!"

"Stop that nonsense; without you, there would be no Guardians!"

With a swishing sound, Xue Fuxiao drew the Emotion Cutting Saber, its blade glinting, she fiercely said, "I don’t care about these grand principles, but if you don’t eat today, I’ll destroy everything here! Not even leaving behind a pound for you!"

Dongfang Sansan frowned and stood up.

Staring at Xue Fuxiao.

Xue Fuxiao didn’t flinch, glaring back at him.

Her eyes told him decisively, if you don’t eat, I will cut down with a single strike!

"Little Xue, stop fooling around."

"I’m not fooling around; I’m serious. If you don’t eat, I’ll chop it all!"

Seeing he couldn’t intimidate Xue Fuxiao, Dongfang Sansan reluctantly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll eat, is that okay?"

"Eat now! I’ll watch you eat one hundred fifty pounds!"

Xue Fuxiao said.

He grabbed the largest True Soul Yin Yang Root, with a swishing sound, washed it neatly with spiritual energy.

With a crunching sound, he broke off a section.

The very essence from the base. Then he broke off a small piece and handed it to Dongfang Sansan, "Eat!"

Dongfang Sansan angrily said, "I said I’ll eat, and I will. Do you think I’d lie to you? How many times have I lied to you in this life?"

Xue Fuxiao remained indifferent, "How many times have you lied to me in this life? Ha-ha, anyway, tens of thousands of times at least. How can you have the nerve to question me with such righteous indignation?"

Dongfang Sansan: "... But this is over a hundred fifty pounds... No, this is a full two hundred pounds."

"Eating them transforms into the foundation, do you think I don’t know? There’s hardly any feeling in the stomach."

Xue Fuxiao said, "Moreover... When I eat meat, sometimes I eat a few hundred pounds at one sitting, even a thousand pounds, what’s two hundred pounds? Just eat them! What’s the difference between a hundred fifty pounds and two hundred pounds? I accidentally broke off an extra piece."

He played a small trick, breaking off fifty extra pounds to force Dongfang Sansan to eat, but was discovered anyway.

Being discovered was fine, since he was discovered he would simply act shamelessly.

No shame in that.

Dongfang Sansan couldn’t endure it.

With a bitter face, he could only start eating, and after taking a bite, his eyes lit up, saying, "It’s actually quite tasty, crisp and sweet. Little Xue, you should try some too."

He broke off a piece from his own section and handed it over.

"Okay."

But Xue Fuxiao broke off another piece from the main plant with a crunching sound.

Then he opened his mouth and took a bite: crunch!

Dongfang Sansan’s face twitched, he realized that today Xue Fuxiao was determined to make him finish the two hundred pounds.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t mind being a destroyer.

"Ah... if it’s wasteful, then let it be wasteful for once."

Dongfang Sansan said with a heartache, "Having eaten these, I feel guilty, so I’ll just have to work harder."

He finished his words and began eating.

Xue Fuxiao smiled contently, heart satisfied, chewing alongside.

Dongfang Sansan had endured so much pain all these years, and he saw it all. Now finally having a chance to replenish his body, and being able to see him eat, Xue Fuxiao’s joy and fulfillment were overwhelming.
