"Alright, go ahead. I won't touch anything." Li Yuan tried his best to suppress the urge to eat every single Heavenly Treasure in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, putting on an obedient, adorable expression as he agreed.

Juhua did not think much of it. Or rather, it could no longer spare much attention for Li Yuan. Having finally returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, what Juhua cared about most was naturally its precious Void Grass.

So, after giving Li Yuan a few simple instructions, Juhua eagerly left to search for the Void Grass.

Leaving Li Yuan alone to wait where he was.

The moment Juhua left, Li Yuan's already intense hunger became even stronger. Looking at the Heavenly Treasures scattered everywhere, Li Yuan's eyes turned green. He looked like a wolf that had not eaten in days.

"How about I eat just a couple to tide myself over?" At last, Li Yuan could no longer suppress the urge. He swallowed hard and found a pale-purple ganoderma with nine leaves.

"This thing shouldn't be poisonous, right?" he muttered. His hand moved of its own accord, uprooting the ganoderma that was clearly no ordinary plant. Then he eagerly swallowed it whole.

"Mmm!" Li Yuan's eyes immediately narrowed involuntarily, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "It's so delicious!"

"But somehow, I'm even hungrier!"

One ganoderma was obviously nowhere near enough to fill Li Yuan's stomach. Instead, it only whetted his appetite.

He devoured the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma in just a few bites, but not only was his stomach not full, he felt even hungrier.

This hunger seemed to act directly upon his soul, making Li Yuan utterly unable to restrain himself. Especially after he had started and eaten a ganoderma, the hunger became completely uncontrollable.

Li Yuan instantly lost all reason, leaving behind only his craving for the countless Heavenly Treasures within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

Under such circumstances, Li Yuan had no mind to distinguish which Heavenly Treasures were poisonous and which were not. Having lost his senses, only one word remained in his mind: eat!

The Heavenly Treasures surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were in for it now. Running into someone like Li Yuan, who ate anything regardless of whether it was meat or vegetables, they truly had terrible luck.

Before long, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, once filled with strange flowers, exotic herbs, and Heavenly Treasures, had been utterly transformed. Everything was a mess, and the ground looked as if it had been plowed, covered in dirt Li Yuan had dug up beyond recognition.

Judging by the scene, at least half of the Heavenly Treasures within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes had suffered disaster and been eaten by Li Yuan.

Only then was Li Yuan finally satisfied. He flopped onto the ground, rubbed his round belly, and muttered, "So full, really full. I can't eat another bite. It's been so long since I've eaten this satisfyingly!"

"No, why do I feel so thirsty? No, I need water!"

As he shouted, Li Yuan, high from consuming Heavenly Treasures, could no longer be bothered with anything else. He noticed a hot spring nearby, constantly steaming.

Without another word, Li Yuan climbed up from the ground, then plunged headfirst into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

Splash!

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

After water splashed everywhere, Li Yuan, who had plunged into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, drank his fill.

Only after quite a while did he finally pull himself out of the water and stagger onto the shore.

"Buuurp~~~" With a loud, long belch, Li Yuan revealed an inexplicable smile. "Awesome, strong stuff. This is what a man ought to drink!"

Well, Li Yuan was completely high now. So many Heavenly Treasures, some immensely nourishing and some highly poisonous, had all gone into his stomach. Honestly, the fact that he had not dropped dead on the spot was already a miracle.

And after all that, he still had not had enough and jumped straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to drink its water. Frankly speaking, even if he wanted to die, no one went about it quite like this.

If an ordinary person dared to mess around like he had, there would probably not even be ashes left by now. Li Yuan was doing comparatively better; he was merely high from drinking the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and was now acting like a drunken fool.

"Holy crap, Little Slave, what happened to you?" Fortunately, Juhua returned not long afterward. When it came back, it wore a silly grin so broad that its face looked like a chrysanthemum. Clearly, this Orange Cat had successfully obtained the Void Grass it had dreamed of.

But after Juhua ran back, the smile on its face became increasingly stiff, especially when it noticed the surrounding Heavenly Treasures that had been ravaged beyond recognition, as well as Li Yuan sprawled on the ground, spouting nonsense and drunk out of his mind.

Juhua's face instantly darkened.

"I was only gone for a few minutes, wasn't I? How did this place turn into this? Did I somehow travel through time?"

Juhua desperately shook its head, wondering whether it was hallucinating.

"What exactly happened here?"

"Could Little Slave have done all this? Did he eat that many Heavenly Treasures?"

How did he do it?

Or rather, why was he still alive?

Juhua instantly turned into a hundred thousand whys, staring at its Human Pet in utter confusion. Its worldview, built over more than ten thousand years, had utterly collapsed.

It was not that Juhua felt sorry for the Heavenly Treasures here. This place did not belong to it anymore anyway; it had been taken by that Old Man, Dugu Bo.

It would probably have to wait until it became a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before it had a chance to reclaim this place. So, Juhua did not care that Li Yuan had ravaged it like this. It simply found it unbelievable.

Logically speaking, even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or a human Titled Douluo would kick the bucket after eating so many Heavenly Treasures, especially when many of their medicinal properties conflicted with one another.

Yet why was this brat still perfectly fine? He looked as though nothing had happened, aside from being a little high and constantly spouting nonsense.

Juhua could not figure it out no matter how hard it tried.

"Eh, isn't that... isn't that what's-his-name? Hahaha, burp~~~"

At the same time, although Li Yuan was dead drunk, he noticed Juhua rushing over. A hearty grin immediately appeared on his face. Then he grabbed Juhua and lifted it up, letting out a long, full belch right in its face.

At once, the mixed smell of Heavenly Treasures rushed straight at Juhua, nearly fumigating it to death.
