The Vice Principal took ten of the Snakeberries floating before him. With a placid expression, he said, "I'll take ten of your Snakeberry Divine Fruits. In return, we'll forget about the matter of the measuring jewel."
Tu Xiao'an shrugged indifferently. The remaining ten Snakeberries floated back to him, and he proceeded to eat them one by one, right in front of the old man.
At this sight, the Vice Principal shot up from his chair, his eyes wide. 'He's eating Divine Fruits so full of Energy like they're snacks?'
"What are you doing?"
Tu Xiao'an smiled and said, "Well, you didn't want them, so I decided to eat them."
"Eating them like that is an outrageous waste!"
The Vice Principal's heart bled. 'If I'd known this would happen, I would have taken all of them. Why was I being so polite with this Snake Spirit?'
Although the Snakeberries, with their pure Energy, could be eaten on their own, they would surely be far more effective as a catalyst in Alchemy.
