Chapter 517: Chapter 511: I Also Give You Two Options [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

Sha Chen’s cheeks twitched slightly.

Tianpeng also had a strange look on his face, as both clearly came to the same conclusion.

Siti frowned. She couldn’t discern Sha Chen’s thoughts, but she could easily read Tianpeng’s mood.

She snorted, "You blockhead, what nonsense are you thinking about?"

Tianpeng chuckled awkwardly and hid under the Sky Covering Umbrella to avoid Siti’s mind reading.

He said with a smile, "Fairy, you truly are the world’s most beautiful woman; I admire you tremendously. Why don’t we bow and become husband and wife?"

Siti said, "You’re not worthy."

Tianpeng felt a wave of disappointment.

Sha Chen was somewhat speechless. Tianpeng’s words were getting more and more direct, but he didn’t expect Siti to reject him so bluntly.

Siti looked at Sha Chen and said, "I can’t figure out what’s in your heart, but I feel very safe here. Can you partition off a piece of this place for me?"

She pointed towards the Innate Earth, and to the pit she previously occupied, as if indicating that it would be her territory from now on.

Sha Chen said, "Lending it to you is fine, but if you’re talking about partitioning it off for you, that’s not possible."

Siti frowned and said, "Then I might have to resort to force and claim this place as my own."

A powerful aura radiated from her, quite terrifying indeed.

Tianpeng’s expression drastically changed, and he said, "Old Sha, she’s the Bodhi Tree. Even without Saint Zhunti’s power, she’s still frightening. What’s the harm in giving her a piece of land?"

However, when Sha Chen faced Siti, his expression remained unchanged, and he even said indifferently, "You want to resort to force? If it comes to fighting, should you lose, I might just have to split you and use you as firewood."

Siti became furious and said, "How dare you! You are too presumptuous. To speak to me in such a manner, you’ve gone too far."

"I am, after all, your senior, and your rudeness is unacceptable. I must teach you a lesson."

Though she had been pursued for a million years, those who chased her were mostly dead.

Arriving here, she felt very secure, naturally not considering Sha Chen a threat.

Therefore, she dared to stand up to Sha Chen and even thought of threatening him.

She had assumed Sha Chen would agree; after all, over the past million years, her power was immense, and having stayed in many places, no one could refuse her requests.

Even though she realized the advent of a calamity before the Divine Enthronement War and thus sealed herself away to sleep. Now, she believed there were few in all the heavens who could defeat her.

The man before her seemed utterly harmless, so she naturally didn’t consider Sha Chen her match.

Thus, she thought that as long as she asked, Sha Chen would comply. Yet, she was flatly refused.

Tianpeng sensed Siti’s power and grew fearful. Her presence rivaled that of Maitreya Buddha.

Being the legendary Bodhi Tree, if a fight did break out, her means could be even more plentiful than Maitreya’s.

Hence, he was deeply worried.

Sha Chen, however, remained calm, holding the Xuanyuan Sword and Mountain Splitting Axe, along with various Magical Tools, his hands forming seals to exercise different Divine Powers.

Various Divine Powers such as wind, fire, and Divine Thunder constantly manifested behind him.

Especially the Samadhi True Fire and Yuanfeng True Fire were overwhelmingly powerful. The high temperatures forced Siti to retreat rapidly, her expression changing drastically.

Siti cried out in shock, "You, you, how do you possess such terrifying fire? That’s the Yuanfeng True Fire, you actually have it too."

Sha Chen said casually, "I possess the Yuanfeng True Fire; it’s not a big deal. If you plan to take it by force, then I’ll just burn you to char."

Siti frowned and said, "Can’t we just talk this over? We’re all civilized; why resort to physical confrontations?"

Tianpeng was stunned. Just now, it was Siti who was calling for a fight, and now she was saying we’re civilized and shouldn’t resort to physical fights!?

Sha Chen laughed too and said, "If you don’t want to fight, then stop talking so arrogantly. After living for so long and being chased for a million years, haven’t you ever pondered the reason?"

Siti fell silent.

She snorted, "Of course, it’s because I’m as beautiful as a flower, and my original form is attractive enough to make those people chase after me with no regard for their lives."

"That’s partly true," Sha Chen nodded, then shook his head. "But that’s only one reason. The second is that you’re too ostentatious, with absolutely no idea how to restrain yourself. You think that whatever you want, others should just give it to you—that’s too presumptuous."

Siti fell silent.

She was powerful, having lived countless years, a veritable old-timer.

What she wanted, others naturally had to give to her. If they didn’t, then that was their fault.

She felt safe here, liked this place very much, and didn’t know why she had been able to waltz in directly.

Naturally, she also wanted to claim this place as her own.

Sha Chen said, "If you want to stay, I can give you a piece of land, but that will be a lease. If you want to live here permanently, you must pay a price."

Siti snorted, "I don’t want that. You all want my true form, don’t think I don’t know that."

Of course, she knew—as the Bodhi Tree, she was incredibly enticing.

Merely cultivating under her tree could double the results with half the effort, making progress by leaps and bounds.

Not only that, her leaves could be used to make Elixirs that enhanced one’s understanding and bestowed great Divine Power.

And her trunk could be turned into Magical Tools.

It was rumored that Tathagata had crafted a segment of the Bodhi Tree into an Innate Spirit Treasure sword. That sword had also grown from a branch once severed from Siti, which had then developed into a new Bodhi Tree.

Strictly speaking, there were several Bodhi Trees in this world, but they were all young saplings, hardly worth mentioning.

Siti was the mother tree.

If her branches were used, many Magical Tools could be crafted.

This was why people constantly hunted Siti—the uses of her body were so significant that beauty was one of the least significant aspects.

Siti was worried that Sha Chen would make such demands, wanting her to contribute leaves or branches, or even coveting her beauty.

After living for so many years, she still could not accept the ways of human romance, finding them disgusting.

She also felt that if someone coveted her, it must be for her beauty.

Especially Tianpeng; he made her sense the same greed she had witnessed in men over a million years—it was all strikingly similar.

However, with Sha Chen, she didn’t get that vibe, so she felt somewhat fond of him. But she also didn’t feel admiration and reverence from him, which left her somewhat disgruntled.

After all, everyone else regarded her with awe and affection, except for Sha Chen, which really was too much.

In fact, many people are like that: they become accustomed to admiration and affection from others, even to the point of repulsion. However, if others do not express admiration and affection, they feel disrespected and aggrieved.

This was exactly how Siti felt toward Sha Chen at the moment. Under a slight fondness, there was a greater feeling of being disgruntled.

However, the strength that Sha Chen exhibited now was so formidable that she couldn’t help but submit.

How could Sha Chen possibly possess Yuanfeng True Fire and Samadhi True Fire, and have cultivated them to such a fearsome level? This took her by surprise and even left her questioning her life. Why did she feel so safe here before? When it was clearly so perilous. A person with cultivation not inferior to her own, who also wielded a Fire Control Divine Skill that suppressed her—how could such a dangerous place feel safe!?

Siti’s heart was in turmoil as she said, "As long as you don’t cut my branches or pick my leaves, and don’t covet my beauty, anything else goes."

Sha Chen retorted, "If that’s the case, you’re useless. I might as well just kill you and chop you up for firewood."
