The Tiger Demon King glanced at the peach grove first, then looked at Shen Wang and Molan: "These two humans look delicious. Whoever eats them, they will be yours!"

Without a word, he directly ordered the great and small demons behind him to attack.

Molan retreated to Shen Wang's side with a solemn expression, urgently saying: "Another demon king has come, and with so many minions, we're in trouble. How much longer until you can break through?"

"Soon."

Shen Wang's speed in forming seals increased; if he hadn't been hiding his strength, he would have opened it already.

At this moment, the demons charging at them suddenly howled and fell to the ground, with poison gas emerging from their bodies, suffering from the toxins.

In just a few moments, the little demons entering the poison array were poisoned to death, and even the great demons grew weak, clearly unable to withstand it.

"Those unafraid of death, feel free to come forward."

Molan sneered.

The Tiger Demon King stared at Molan, unfazed by the death of his subordinates.

"Such poison, no wonder you suffered a loss."

The light in the Monkey King's eyes burst forth, and he said: "Avoid the front area and don't charge directly."

The demons not poisoned began to detour, but even without the Monkey King's words, they no longer dared to charge further.

However, outside the array, with Shen Wang covering half the area, Molan released a poison array, so the other demons were also poisoned even if they bypassed, falling down one after another.

Soon, only two demon kings were left.

The Monkey King still had poison unresolved in his body and dared not approach.

The Tiger Demon King said: "When the Black Cat King arrives, even bearing the poison, we'll take them down."

"That might disappoint you."

Shen Wang turned and said, pointing forward, and the array suddenly opened a gap.

He grabbed Molan's hand, expanded the array barrier a bit, and directly walked inside.

The Tiger Demon King didn't expect Shen Wang to open the array and was stunned for a moment, hurriedly clawing through space.

A sharp blade shot out tens of feet away, slashing toward Shen Wang.

But Shen Wang had already pulled Molan in, and the array barrier quickly healed in its twisting, blocking the golden blade.

He turned with a grin: "Oops, going to eat some peaches now, you all watch from outside."

"You won't escape!"

The Monkey King was furious, spewing fire.

Shen Wang said calmly: "Then work harder, break the array, and come eat us."

Ignoring the black-faced demon kings, he walked deeper into the peach grove.

"How long do you intend to hold my hand?"

Molan spoke softly.

"If you want, I can hold it for a lifetime, no problem."

Shen Wang answered cheekily.

But he still let go; after all, this woman's hand is poisonous, and holding it for too long would cost him too much spiritual power to resist the toxin.

"Don't make such promises lightly."

Molan looked at Shen Wang, unsure why she hoped what he said was true and not a joke.

"I'm not making a promise lightly. I can afford to take care of one more woman like you."

Shen Wang said calmly.

Molan's emotions wavered.

Honestly, facing the Monkey King earlier, she was at a disadvantage.

If it dragged on, she would indeed be in danger.

The appearance of this person actually helped her.

"Then I'll believe it."

Molan stared into Shen Wang's eyes.

Shen Wang was surprised; he had merely flirted casually, not expecting this woman to take it seriously. Could she have feelings for him?

"Alright, but if you want to always hold my hand, we have to solve the Sixth Prince. With him around, the two of us can't be together."

Shen Wang smiled.

"That's difficult. At worst, I'll elope with you, escape far away."

Molan teased: "It's up to you if you dare."

"Running away is doable, but going far away isn't. I have family at home."

Shen Wang chuckled: "Take it slow; we just started holding hands, haven't even developed our feelings yet."

He laughed heartily, his figure flashing, appearing on a thousand-year-old peach tree.

Reaching out to pick two fruits, he quickly descended back to Molan's side.

He handed a peach to Molan: "Taste it. These peach trees seem to bear fruit only after a thousand years, so it should be quite a precious variety."

Molan accepted a small peach, about the size of an egg. Though small, the peach was translucent, fiery red, and looked deliciously appetizing.

She took a bite, her beautiful eyes revealing a look of surprise: "So sweet, very delicious, and with very pure spiritual power."

"Yes, indeed very tasty."

Shen Wang quickly finished it. Besides water attribute spiritual power, the peach contained rare fire attribute ability, this strange state of water and fire harmony left him surprised: "Have you recognized this peach tree's variety?"

"It should be the legendary Water and Fire Spiritual Peach, three hundred years to form wood, three hundred years to bloom, three hundred years to fruit, and then every hundred years, the fruit grows larger."

Molan guessed: "Basically, it takes a thousand years to produce fruit, but if the spiritual qi is dense, this time should shorten, so that's why these are essentially thousand-year peachwood having fruit. Their spirit fruits possess the power of water and fire, along with Yin Yang Qi, greatly benefiting Nascent Soul cultivators and assisting Golden Core cultivators in forming a Nascent Soul."

"Too bad there aren't any peach blossoms here; they must all be in fruiting state."

Shen Wang noticed some trees had thumb-sized green fruits that weren't fully grown yet.

Boom!

A loud noise came from outside the peach garden. The two looked over to see the two demon kings had changed position and were attacking the array.

"You dare eat peaches? Later, we'll cut open your bellies and take them out!"

The Monkey King was extremely furious, as he was the first to discover this place, yet these two human race cultivators were the first to eat the peaches, enraging him.

"Oh, these peaches are so good! Too bad, I've finished mine, but I'll toss this peach pit to you."

Shen Wang spat the pit, letting it land before the two demon kings, a clear provocation.

The Tiger Demon King watched with a murderous aura: "Human race cultivator, this place won't hold us for long. Once we break the array, I'll make you wish you were dead, savoring your flesh bit by bit."

"Alright, I'll be waiting."

Shen Wang laughed, pulling Molan's hand again to move deeper into the peach grove.

Peaches here were sparse and scattered, giving an impression of low yield.

"We'll split the peaches evenly, is that alright?"

Shen Wang said, although he held her hand, she wasn't his yet. Clarifying on dividing the spoils was necessary.

"Can do."

Molan had no objections. If Shen Wang hadn't destroyed the Monkey King avatar, she might have. But not now.

"Let's hurry. They won't break through easily, so gather all the peaches you can, then chop down some peach trees."

Shen Wang suggested, then they split to act separately.

The two great demon kings angrily attacked the array.

Neither knew much about arrays, having no clue how to find a weakness, opting for brute force instead.

Shen Wang glanced over, unconcerned.

Though he had broken the array in less than half a cup of tea's time, this array was actually a top-grade technique, not easily breached by Golden Core cultivators.

The yield from these peach trees was indeed low, some bearing only one or two fruits, some even just one.

However, the older the peach tree, the larger and more potent the peach it bore.

There were plenty of peach trees based on different ages. He estimated that some peaches had fallen and spawned new trees.

This felt wasteful to him, as ripe peaches remained unpicked, possibly leaving some ten-thousand-year spiritual peaches on the ground?

Peach trees being so, some herbs he encountered outside might be the same.

Quickly gathering, Shen Wang made it to the center, taking a shining, bowl-sized peach, glancing toward the other side.

Molan had nearly finished her harvest too, arriving at a grand spiritual peach, estimated to have been growing for three thousand years.

Looking past it, Shen Wang initially planned to check the demon kings' array-breaking endeavors, only to spot something else, his pupils contracting suddenly.

"Something's off. These trees feel deliberately planted, subtly aligning with the Five Elements Eight Trigrams path, seemingly random, yet integrated with this array."

Shen Wang grew more shocked as he watched. Could there really be a powerful cultivator managing the things inside this cave mansion?
