Little Crane's eyes lit up at the Ten-Thousand-Year Peach before it. "Master, this peach is too precious. I can't absorb its energy. I'm afraid eating it would be a waste!"
Fang Chen smiled. "It's all right. Go ahead."
"Okay!"
Little Crane nodded, opened its beak, and pecked at the Ten-Thousand-Year Peach in Fang Chen's hand.
"Delicious! It's so good!"
Little Crane could not help exclaiming.
Ye Kong swallowed at the sight.
Fang Chen smiled, took out another Ten-Thousand-Year Peach, and handed it to Ye Kong. "Here, Brother Ye Kong!"
Ye Kong had not expected Fang Chen to have so many. He wanted one badly, but he knew how precious they were. He shook his head hard. "No need. I already had one earlier!"
Fang Chen pressed the peach into Ye Kong's hand. "You can have another!"
Ye Kong looked down at the peach and frowned slightly. "One of these treasures is enough. A second won't have nearly as much effect."
Fang Chen smiled faintly. "Even a little benefit is worth having."
"But—"
Ye Kong still wanted to explain.
"No buts. There will be more Ten-Thousand-Year Peaches. This is only the first batch to ripen. There are plenty more in the Ten-Thousand-Year Peach Garden at the Yaochi Sacred Land. Perhaps the depletion of Spiritual Qi left the Ten-Thousand-Year Peach Trees without enough energy to bear ripe fruit before. Now that Spiritual Qi has revived, their peaches can finally ripen!"
Fang Chen spoke to Ye Kong with a smile.
After hearing him out, Ye Kong stopped resisting. He nodded slightly. "All right."
He began eating the peach. It was delicious, and with every bite, Ye Kong felt at ease in both body and mind.
After two bites, he paused and asked Fang Chen, "Want me to share some with you?"
