"Yes!" Shen Jing said as he ate another piece of the meant. "I brought it for you. Eat it later tonight."
Alex looked at the bright red and yellow pear-shaped fruit with swirls all around the outside of it.
"Um, I don't need it though," Alex said. "I've already gone through Mortal Cleansing."
"Oh, you've eaten this already?" Shen Jing asked with a bit of surprise.
"No, I've never even seen this before," Alex said. "I just went through Mortal cleansing… on my own."
Alex wasn't sure if he wanted to reveal the existence of Pearl's help in Mortal Cleansing. While he was sure that one would need to ingest the White Tiger's blood essence to do what he did, there was still the chance that Shen Jing would think Pearl would help him and take him for his own.
While the chance was very, very small, Alex didn't want to take it.
