However, it had vowed to resist until the end, so it closed its eyes and endured the hunger.

Like this, another day passed, and it grew hungrier to the point of being unbearable.

So it opened its eyes and glanced at the grapes by its mouth.

Looking at the grapes that were so ripe they were almost black, it couldn't help drooling, feeling an increasing urge to eat one.

But in the end, it held back.

It was a Spirit Beast, capable of using the Cultivation Power within its body to keep its normal functions; thus it could endure for many more days.

It had to resist until Lin Yifan compromised, it definitely wanted to eat something delicious.

On the third day, Lin Yifan finally couldn't resist stepping into the room to check on it.

Seeing the long-horned squirrel not eating a single grape, Lin Yifan felt that this long-horned squirrel was quite strong-willed.

However, since it took the long-horned squirrel four days from hiding in the desert to sneaking into the manor and eating grapes, plus the fact that it was a Spirit Beast, three days might not be much to it; thus he still needed to wait a few days to see the results.

So, he turned around and left the room.

The breath of the long-horned squirrel was steady, not appearing problematic, which indicated that it had been using Cultivation Power to maintain its bodily functions over the past few days.

This showed that the long-horned squirrel did not want to die.

The reason it didn't eat the grapes might be a form of protest against his actions.

Since that's the case, everything was easy to handle.

No one can endure hunger, and those who fast usually regret it in the end; so he decided to have a showdown with the long-horned squirrel to see who would compromise first.

The long-horned squirrel initially thought that Lin Yifan would compromise, but unexpectedly, he turned and left, determined to let it starve to death.

This bastard was too detestable, giving it such a harsh punishment.

"I don't believe you can harden your heart like this."

So, it continued to endure hunger, resisting to the end.

Two more days passed, and on the fifth day, it grew even hungrier and was struggling to bear it.

However, it gritted its teeth and endured.

On the sixth day, its body began to weaken, and the growling of its stomach grew louder.

That day, it couldn't take it anymore, it opened its mouth and ate wildly.

If you asked it to bang against a wall to take its life, it could do it. But asking it to starve to death, it truly couldn't, because it was just an animal, primarily driven by hunger.

Although it had intelligence, that intelligence wasn't enough to strengthen its will.

Within minutes, the grapes in front of it were all eaten. When it wanted more, its mouth couldn't reach them.

"This bastard, wanting me to eat grapes but not even putting them closer, such a brainless guy," it couldn't help but curse silently.

The grapes consumed could sustain it for a day; if the next day Lin Yifan did not come to check on it, it would truly starve to death.

It only wished that Lin Yifan would come in the next day, as it had compromised and didn't want to persist stubbornly any longer.

On the seventh day, as it wished, Lin Yifan came to visit.

Seeing the grapes in front of the long-horned squirrel all eaten, Lin Yifan knew the creature couldn't hold out any longer.

So he moved the remaining grapes to the edge of the long-horned squirrel's mouth, allowing it to eat.

The long-horned squirrel opened its eyes, and without a word, began to eat immediately.

Lin Yifan was relieved to finally deal with this stubborn creature.

When the long-horned squirrel had eaten enough, he untied the chain binding the long-horned squirrel, restoring its freedom.

With some freedom to move, the long-horned squirrel immediately ate all the remaining grapes.

Lin Yifan was a bit surprised at how astonishing the long-horned squirrel's appetite was, able to eat so many grapes all at once; it seemed keeping it fed was no easy task.

Having eaten its fill, the long-horned squirrel lay on the ground, motionless, with no intention to harm itself or bother Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan thought that the long-horned squirrel might have realized it couldn't win against its own stomach, that he meant no harm, and that only by following him could it have a day of returning to nature.

Therefore, he stopped tying up the long-horned squirrel, allowing it to rest here.

After leaving the Immortal Ring, Lin Yifan went to the grape manor to pick grapes again.

After learning a lesson last time, the Sixth Elder of the Long Family no longer stopped Lin Yifan.

These grapes were really nothing to him; if they could exchange for a valuable Elixir from Lin Yifan, he would willingly give even more grapes.

After picking a basket of grapes, Lin Yifan returned to the small cottage satisfied, then entered the blue Immortal Ring and moved the grapes into the long-horned squirrel's room.

Seeing Lin Yifan bringing in so many grapes, the long-horned squirrel was somewhat surprised, but now it was already very full and couldn't eat anymore.

However, it was thinking too much, as those were not for it to eat now, but for tomorrow.

"This is your food for tomorrow, savor it slowly."

After explaining, Lin Yifan turned and left.

The long-horned squirrel suddenly understood, realizing that Lin Yifan wasn't treating it poorly.

In the following days, Lin Yifan continued to pick grapes for the long-horned squirrel to eat.

He treated the long-horned squirrel like a pet, and once it became obedient, he planned to release it.

Seeing Lin Yifan picking so many grapes every day, the Sixth Elder of the Long Family grew more and more distressed.

He wasn't receiving any benefits, so he felt extremely unbalanced mentally.

So after the fifth day, he came to ask Lin Yifan: "Lin, my young friend, are those grapes really for you to eat?"

"Alright! Alright! Who doesn't know your mind? Here is a bottle of Yuan Force Pill, take it!"

Lin Yifan directly took out an elixir, dealing with the Sixth Elder of the Long Family.

The elder of the Long Family was a bit flattered, as Lin Yifan was very generous, offering an entire bottle of supreme elixir, which scared him from accepting it.

"Lin, my young friend, is this really for me?"

"Do you want it or not? If not, forget it."

"I want! Yes! Yes!"

The elder of the Long Family hastily accepted the elixir and hid it securely.

Having secured a benefit, he wisely left without bothering Lin Yifan anymore.

Being in the Secular World where Spiritual Energy was scarce, the thing most needed was Spiritual Energy, so to him, Lin Yifan's yuan force pill was practically an upper treasure, more valuable than an emerald; thus what was there to complain about?

Today, Lin Yifan picked many grapes, five to six times the usual amount.

This was because he planned to release the long-horned squirrel, allowing it to take him to find the Desert Dynasty.

After being cared for so many days, the long-horned squirrel should be obedient and might be willing to help him.

After working busy for dozens of minutes, he moved all the grapes into the blue Immortal Ring and then bid farewell to the Sixth Elder of the Long Family.

The Sixth Elder of the Long Family was a bit surprised, not knowing why Lin Yifan was in such a hurry to leave, was it because he was too stingy earlier?

So he asked, "Lin, my young friend, why is this? Was my hospitality lacking?"

"No, the Sixth Elder has treated me very well, it's just that I have things to do, so I must go now," Lin Yifan explained.
