"Haha, it really did bear fruit! Jin'er, keep an eye on the Divine Tree and its fruit. If anything unusual happens, notify me at once."
Shi Yue beamed with delight. Although he didn't know exactly what effects the fruit would have, it had taken so much effort to grow that it surely wouldn't be anything ordinary.

A trace of approval showed
