I looked at the Beast King. 0
 
"Little brother, what do you say?" the Beast King asked, his face full of anticipation. 0
 
Everyone's gaze was fixed on me as I continued, "Can you quietly gather the leaders of the other tribes together? But it must be done discreetly; we can't let anyone know." 0
 
The Beast King paused for a moment, looking somewhat troubled. "That might be difficult. The leaders of the other tribes are often cautious of one another, not to mention gathering them together. Moreover, they all know that Tree Sage intends to appoint you as the Forest Spirit King, which only adds to their dissatisfaction with my beast tribe." 0
 
Hearing the Beast King's words made my heart sink. If that were the case, it would be quite troublesome. 0
 
"Yes, Father is right. These tribal people don't trust each other. Even if we manage to gather them, someone will likely inform Tree Sage. If that happens, we're finished," Dumeng Princess added, echoing the Beast King's sentiments. 0
 
Suddenly, I felt a wave of despair wash over me. If that were true, we would have to act alone. 0
 
"We need to leave this place first," Xiaomei spoke up. 0
 
"Agreed," I replied. 0
 
The Beast King looked at Xiaomei with a puzzled expression. I understood what he was thinking and explained to him that Xiaomei was on my side. 0
 
Only then did the Beast King seem reassured and said, "But even if we leave here, it has to be three days from now." 0
 
"Three days?" we exclaimed in surprise. 0
 
The Beast King nodded. "Yes, it has to be three days later because that's the rule of the Spirit Martial Conference. After the competition ends, Tree Sage will host a Spirit Feast for everyone." 0
 
 
I furrowed my brow. With this, our preparation time was reduced even further. Moreover, I couldn't wait that long with Ruoxi. Although I had brought Ruoxi's soul back, Captain Wu and the others were still waiting for me in the mortal realm. I couldn't afford to delay any longer. 0
 
"Then let's make our move during the Spirit Feast," Feng Ju suddenly spoke up. 0
 
We all turned to look at Feng Ju, who continued, "This is a great opportunity for us because the Tree Sage's spiritual power will significantly decrease on the day of the Spirit Feast. The combined strength of us will be just enough to deal with him." 0
 
"Are you saying that the Tree Sage will weaken on that day?" I felt a surge of excitement. 0
 
Before Feng Ju could respond, the Beast King chimed in, "Yes, the Former Spirit King is right. Preparing for the Spirit Feast requires a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, and since the Tree Sage organizes it all by himself, this is the perfect time to act." 0
 
"Alright, it's settled then. We'll strike during the Spirit Feast. However, we need to come up with a flawless plan to ensure success," I said. 0
 
"How about this? On that day, the Tree Sage will tamper with the food at the Spirit Feast. He'll add a powder that weakens everyone's spiritual power into the dishes. While we're eating, we can take an antidote beforehand so that our strength remains intact. When the Tree Sage tries to attack us, we can strike first," I proposed. 0
 
"Not only that, but we can also make the Tree Sage consume this," Xiaomei said as she took out a black bottle that seemed to contain liquid. 0
 
"Is that Black Death?" Feng Ju's eyes lit up upon seeing what Xiaomei held. 0
 
Xiaomei smiled and nodded. "You're impressive, Feng Ju. This is indeed Black Death; it's a precious item." 0
 
"Miss Xiaomei, where did you get this?" Even the Beast King's eyes sparkled with unusual excitement. Seeing their enthusiasm raised my curiosity, so I asked Xiaomei what it was. 0
 
Xiaomei looked at me and explained, "Master, this is something that can annihilate deities." 0
 
I was taken aback; I hadn't expected such a powerful item capable of destroying deities existed. 0
 
I carefully took the item Xiaomei handed me and examined it closely. Inside the black bottle was a potion that bubbled as if it were boiling hot water. 0
 
"When the leaders of each tribe present gifts to the Tree Sage, I'll place this among them. As soon as he touches it, he will surely die," the Beast King said excitedly. 0
 
It felt as if our plan was already a success. 0
 
"Have you decided what to give to the Tree Sage?" I couldn't help but feel curious. 0
 
The Beast King nodded confidently and replied, "Don't worry; we've prepared something that will definitely be the Tree Sage's favorite." 0
 
 
Seeing Beast King so confident, I handed the Black Death over to him. He carefully took it, as it was the only thing that could eliminate Tree Sage. 0
 
After we finalized our plans, we returned to our respective rooms. 0
 
Feng Ju glanced at me and leisurely lay down on the bed, saying, "It seems that once you deal with Tree Sage, you'll be heading back, right?" 0
 
I nodded and took out Ruoxi's true form, continuing to channel Divine Power into her. 0
 
Feng Ju looked at me and said, "You treat your wife quite well. I'm really envious; you have a companion. I'm different; I've always been alone." 0
 
After saying this, a hint of hurt appeared on Feng Ju's face. I teased him, "Actually, there's a good girl right in front of you. Why not give it a try?" 0
 
Feng Ju paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Who are you talking about?" 0
 
"Xiaomei or Dudu Min, the Princess. You could try either; they're both good girls," I replied sincerely. 0
 
During these days, Dumeng Princess and Xiaomei had been helping me. Their unconditional support truly touched me. 0
 
"If I choose Xiaomei, would you let her stay here? Isn't she your guardian spirit?" Feng Ju raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively. 0
 
I was taken aback for a moment but smiled and said, "In my heart, Xiaomei is my friend, not just a guardian spirit. Besides, if Xiaomei likes you too, I wouldn't mind her staying here." 0
 
Feng Ju's eyes lit up as he listened to me. "Is what you're saying true? Are you really willing?" 0
 
I nodded seriously and said, "It's true, but the premise is that Xiaomei has to be willing." 0
 
 
"Don't worry, I won't force you," said Feng Ju as he stepped out. 0
 
I was a bit surprised. Did Feng Ju have feelings for Xiaomei? When did these two develop a romantic connection? 0
 
I shifted my gaze to Ruoxi's true form. Ruoxi was getting better and better; under my continuous infusion of Divine Power, her true form seemed to have gained considerable weight, making it somewhat difficult to hold. 0
 
"Ruoxi, when will you be back to normal?" Looking at Ruoxi's face, a wave of quiet sorrow washed over me. 0
 
I took a deep breath, and just then, a familiar voice reached my ears. "Were you thinking of me?" 0
 
I froze for a moment. Wasn't that Ruoxi's voice? 0
 
"Ruoxi, is that you?" I looked at Ruoxi's true form with excitement. 0
 
"It's me, Wang Jun. Don't worry, I'm almost back to normal," Ruoxi replied. 0
 
My heart raced with even more excitement as I picked up Ruoxi's true form and kissed her gently. "Ruoxi, if you wake up soon, I promise to give you a grand wedding." 0
 
I spoke earnestly; after all, everything Ruoxi had done for me deserved my utmost care in return. 0
 
"Wang Jun's words are true," Ruoxi said, her tone becoming more animated. 0
 
"They are true," I affirmed seriously. 0
 
"Good. Then Wang Jun, please get ready." 0
 
 
Then, I saw Ruoxi's form glow for a moment, and to my surprise, she opened her eyes and stood up, like a living doll. Although her body had not returned to its normal state, this was already quite remarkable. I was very excited and said to Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, can you change freely now?" 0
 
Ruoxi looked at me and replied, "Not yet. I can only control my form at will. It will take some time for my body to return to its original state, but don't worry, I will definitely work hard." 0
 
I nodded happily and put Ruoxi's form away before lying back down to rest. 0
 
The next day, when I woke up, I noticed that Feng Ju had not returned. 0
 
This puzzled me. Could it be that Feng Ju went out on a date with Xiaomei last night? Just then, I heard footsteps outside the room; it seemed to be Xiaomei and Feng Ju. I saw Xiaomei smiling as she escorted Feng Ju back. Upon seeing me, Xiaomei's face immediately turned red. I wondered what had happened that night; why did I feel like Xiaomei was a bit different? 0
