As a foodie, Taotie’s greatest pleasure was eating.
He was either eating or going to eat. Other than food, he was not interested in anything else.
For Taotie, the fact that he could not eat was simply a torture for him.
In fact, if the elves gave Taotie some food every day, even if it was the cheapest food, the beast would obediently stay in the dungeon. As long as he was allowed to eat, he would be obedient. Even if you locked him up until the end of time, as long as there was food, he would not have any intentions to resist.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the grieving Taotie and asked, “Didn’t you tell them that you were hungry?”
According to Taotie’s gluttonous personality, he must have been driven into a corner after not eating for more than a hundred years. He would be willing to do something as humiliating as holding his claws out. It was not impossible for him to act cute to the elves in exchange for food.
Taotie pouted and kept stuffing demonic cores into his mouth.
“I told them, but that beautiful elf forbade them from feeding me.”
“Why?”
Taotie frowned and looked at Shen Yanxiao with tears in his eyes, just like a pitiful little pet that had been bullied.
“That elf wanted me to eat some unpalatable wood. If I did not eat it, he would not give me anything else to eat. However, that wood tastes awful so I won’t eat it.”
Was there anything in this world that Taotie would not eat? Shen Yanxiao found it fascinating.
“Is there anything you won’t eat? If I gave you a piece of dung, you would be willing to eat it until it’s fragrant.” Vermilion Bird crossed his arms and looked at Taotie arrogantly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Taotie was stupid. He felt that he was embarrassing himself by being serious with such an opponent.
Taotie sniffled. He looked up at the Vermilion Bird and said in all seriousness, “I don’t eat poop, it’s stinky. I am also a magical beast with principles. I am a gourmet. I only eat delicious food.”
“Idiot.” Vermilion Bird snorted and decided to ignore this foodie. Talking to Taotie was simply lowering his IQ.
“That beautiful elf you mentioned, is he Fen Chu or the Elf King?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
“Ah?” Taotie clearly did not know the difference between the two.
In his eyes, elves all looked alike.
They were similar to an apple, only some were slightly better-looking.
In any case, they were just food to him.
“The elf I mentioned was wearing beautiful clothes, not that tiny iron sheet.” Taotie tried his best to distinguish the difference between elves with his consciousness.
Tiny iron sheet…
Shen Yanxiao looked down at the bright, beautiful light silver armor on her body.
“That’s the Elf King.” Shen Yanxiao could confirm his identity.
“What kind of wood did he ask you to eat?” The Elf King was the supreme ruler of the Moon God Continent. Probably only he and Fen Chu would dare to negotiate with Taotie.
Taotie said, “The wood of the Tree of Life.”
“Pfft…” Vermilion Bird at the side immediately choked.
Shen Yanxiao was also surprised.
“The Elf King asked you to gnaw on the Tree of Life?” Had the Elf King lost his mind or was his head squeezed by the door?
The Tree of Life was the foundation of the elves, and the Elf King wanted Taotie to gnaw on it…
Taotie did not realize how serious the problem was.
“He wanted me to eat the withered parts of the Tree of Life, but it tasted awful…”
