The palace fell utterly silent.
The patriarchs of the many families stared wide-eyed at the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King lying beside Chen Xuan, their faces blank with shock.
None of them had processed what had happened!
What happened?
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to be doing?
Three questions in a row.
"It ate it...?"
"It really ate the Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit?!"
A Dou Ling patriarch rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked again at the young Amethyst Winged Lion King lying beside Chen Xuan.
That Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit, which had developed sentience, had just been eaten by this magical beast?!
"What a waste of heaven's treasures!"
"An utter waste of heaven's treasures!"
Chairman Fa Ma cried out, his face twisted with anguish.
That was a fruit that had developed sentience, yet this Amethyst Winged Lion King cub had eaten it right under their noses.
A pill that had developed sentience was already a heavenly treasure comparable to an Eighth-Tier Pill.
This sentient Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit was probably even more extraordinary, yet it had actually been eaten by this magical beast.

Jia Xingtian no longer knew how to describe his feelings.
The patriarchs present also looked heartbroken.
The effects of this sentient fruit had to be heaven-defying. Even if it was not meant for them, surely it should not have been wasted on a magical beast.
"Wait...?!"
"Something's wrong.
