He was clearly making his little calculations.
The special fruit tree inside the valley held certain value, as he was the first to discover it and had been harvesting it for many years. Now, giving it up to Qin Niu, he might feel like he was getting the short end of the stick.
But he couldn't fight against someone stronger than him, as his strength and status were nowhere near Qin Niu's, so he dared not refuse outright.
All he could do was play little tricks, using such methods to keep the fruit tree as much as possible.
"You have this concern, and I am touched. You only have the Mortal Realm First Layer cultivation, and every year you enter the valley to pick those wild fruits, what if the Scorpion Demon discovers you, could you escape?" Qin Niu stared at him and asked.
"As long as I'm careful, it should be impossible for it to discover me. Over the years, I have sneaked into the valley no less than ten times, and it never found out."
