Chapter 37 It's so good!
Huo Yutong lay quietly on Zi Ji's back, feeling the wind whistling past her ears and watching the scenery rushing past on both sides, yet strangely, she felt no turbulence or unease.
The closer the three women got to the core area, the more they could hear the sounds coming from there, and the sounds made them pause.
"Four times five equals twenty! Four times six equals twenty-four! Four times seven equals twenty-four!"
The multitude of voices converged, creating a deafening roar.
Then came Di Tian's low, suppressed roar of rage: "Wrong again! Bear King! Four times seven is twenty-eight!! And you, Crimson King! Can't you even count your three heads?!"
The strange scene conveyed through sound startled everyone. After a while, Zi Ji put Huo Yutong down, and for the last short distance, they walked.
However, when they passed through the last dense ancient forest and officially entered the core area, the scene before them made Huo Yutong hold her breath instantly. Even Tianmeng, Bingdi, and Ilex in the sea of consciousness let out a soft exclamation.
The secret realm, once filled with primitive and boundless vitality in my memory, has now been completely transformed, resembling a dreamlike wonderland.
The Lake of Life still ripples with vast waves of soul power, but the surrounding shores seem to have been meticulously painted by an artist who is well-versed in the rhythms of nature.
Countless exotic flowers and plants, radiating a soft, luminous glow, no longer grow wildly, but bloom in clusters following some mysterious law.
Even more amazing are those ancient trees.
Their branches are cleverly guided and woven, some forming natural dome arches, others twining into treehouse platforms that resemble viewing platforms.
"This is..." Huo Yutong opened her spiritual eyes wide, deeply shocked by the unimaginable beauty. This was not a sculpted work of human effort, but the ultimate sublimation of the beauty of nature.
Biji and Ziji also paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
Just then, a cheerful figure rushed over like the wind.
"Yutong! You're back!" Di Qiu tackled Huo Yutong to the soft grass.
Huo Yutong was startled at first, then couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, Zi Ji helplessly reached out and lifted Di Qiu, who was clinging to Yu Tong, away: "Alright, Qiu'er, let Yu Tong catch her breath."
"In this situation, I feel compelled to compose a poem," Tianmeng floated out.
"The flowers, plants, and trees are really great;"
Lake of Life is as beautiful as a painting;
The natural scenery is so beautiful;
Seeing beautiful scenery makes me feel good.
...All people and beasts fell silent at that moment.
"get out of class dismissed!" Di Tian transformed back into human form from his true form as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and announced.
"Don't go yet! There'll be something delicious to eat later!" Zi Ji shouted, and many of the faster ones had already run off.
"Sister's poem..." Tianmeng wanted to say something when no one commented on her poem, but was stopped by Bingdi's cold gaze. Also, for some reason, Wan Yaowang was staring intently at Tianmeng, which made Tianmeng shiver again.
After all, this scenery was created by the Demon King and his plant-type soul beasts during their free time after class.
Before returning to Xingdou, Ziji went to various restaurants in Shrek City and ordered a lot of food, as well as a lot of alcohol, drinks, and snacks. Most of the people in Xingdou had never eaten human food before.
So much so that after they left, when Xuanzi went to his usual restaurant for braised pork knuckle, he was told it was sold out...
With a wave of her hand, Murasaki appeared on the grass, displaying a variety of packaged human delicacies with an enticing aroma. With another wave of her hand, various kinds of wine and beverages appeared on the other side of the grass.
Immediately, tears streamed down the faces of the animal-type soul beasts, led by Xiong Jun and Chi Wang.
The plant-type soul beasts, led by the Demon King, gave them a speechless "look".
"Line up and get in line," Di Tian said.
So the soul beasts lined up obediently. Zi Ji first gave Di Qiu a portion, and then she, Bi Ji, and Huo Yutong helped distribute the other soul beasts.
"We plant-type soul beasts can't eat unless we transform into humans, so I'll help by pouring the wine and drinks for everyone," said the Demon King.
"There are words on the wine and drinks, take a look! Ask us if you don't recognize them!" said Murasaki.
"I think I've done quite well in the literacy lessons these past few days," said the Demon King.
He picked up a bottle, looked down, and saw that the characters on it had so many strokes... He'd skip that for now and look at the ones he recognized.
Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Huo Yutong distributed food to the animal-type soul beasts, while Di Tian was responsible for maintaining discipline and preventing queue jumping.
The Demon King watered each of the rows of plants in front of him with wine and beverages. After all, it takes 20 years of cultivation to transform into a human, so watering wasn't the only option. However, he overlooked one problem—drinking alcohol can make you drunk.
"I really want to eat too..." Tianmeng rubbed her stomach, then looked towards the Demon King: "Hahaha, Bingbing, look, the old wooden stump is pouring wine and drinks on it!"
"If Shiro saw all this delicious food, he would definitely be tempted," Hyotei said.
Electrox watched the lively scene; soul beasts were much simpler than humans.
The spirit beasts present are all powerful, having grown to their current strength over many years. Since spirit beasts traditionally eat raw food, the heavily seasoned human cuisine is a novel experience for them… In short, it's incredibly delicious!
They ate even the bones, which were so delicious. This was thanks to the excellent teeth and digestive system of the soul beasts. This is the powerful teeth and stomach acid of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
For vegetarians, there are also various exquisite desserts, such as mung bean cakes and flower cakes...
The Demon King continued to water the plant-type soul beasts with wine and drinks. For some reason, the petals and branches of that row of plants began to sway. After the Demon King finished watering, the plants, with their branches intertwined, swayed and walked away, moving outwards in rhythm with the swaying.
The Demon King didn't notice anything wrong; he just thought they were having too much fun, and that human alcohol and beverages were indeed a novel experience.
The row of plants of various kinds continued to sway and walk further and further away, until they reached the edge of the mixed area.

Meng De, whose martial soul is Pea Flower and whose title is Pea, is one of the elders of Shrek Sea God Pavilion and a master of martial soul theory. He specializes in the research of plant-type martial souls and plant-type soul beasts and has published many papers. He can be said to be one of the contemporary martial soul masters.
At this moment, he is leading his students to make observations in a grove of solitary bamboo on the outskirts of the mixed zone.
"The solitary bamboo is a very common plant, but this solitary bamboo is over ten thousand years old. At this moment, it is being suppressed by my soul power. Everyone, come up one by one and observe what's different about it." Relying on his powerful cultivation as a titled Douluo, Meng De gripped the tough ten-thousand-year-old solitary bamboo tightly with one hand.
At that moment, Mengde felt the earth shake violently. He saw a row of plants of different shapes "holding hands" and "shaking their flower hands"—they were indeed flower hands, palms made of fresh flowers swaying.
Meng De and his students were stunned until they had walked away from the row of plants for a long time. "This must be a brand new direction for the mutation of plant-type soul beasts!" Meng De exclaimed excitedly.
"Let's go back to the academy now, we have a new project to work on!"
Many years later, when Mengde learned that the strange behavior of the row of plants was just due to being drunk, he immediately fainted.
