Chapter 524: Chapter 14 Luo Yi

Suddenly, the golden fruit shone brightly, and a rainbow of light emanated from within the fruit.

The skin of the fruit split and fell away instantly, revealing a snowy white fruit the size of a dragon’s eye, with white Immortal qi swirling around it.

Gu Xiaoxi held the fruit and turned to look down at the neatly arranged tide of beasts below her.

She didn’t know if this was what made the fruit ripen successfully.

"We’ve seen the master!"

In an instant, the dense mass of beasts lay prostrate on the ground in a submissive posture.

The deafening sound petrified her on the spot.

And beneath her feet, the tide of creatures cried out in a voice that only Gu Xiaoxi could understand.

On the other side, Jing Haoran and Su San looked at the wild beasts that had suddenly knelt down, their faces filled with astonishment, "What on earth has Gu Xiaoxi done!"

Gu Xiaoxi clenched her hands tightly, her fingernails cutting into her palms, the pain reminding her that this was not a dream.

Once again, she had stepped into a secret that bewildered her and filled her with doubt.

A secret that humanity dared not to touch, much less fully prove.

Child of God?

Did she pick the fruit, is she the reincarnation of Lan Xi?

And what about Mi Xi?

Why is he a ghost, and why does he know about her past?

Why did the Netherworld keep him?

The few times she met him in her dreams, in that sinfully terrifying place, she could guess...

Is he really in Hell?

Gu Xiaoxi stood there, engulfed by a flood of questions in an instant.

She couldn’t figure it out.

At that moment, the Wolf King also rushed over quickly.

With its pack of young wolves, it crawled at her feet.

"Master! Please save us all!" the Wolf King pleaded desperately.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at them, puzzled, "Save you?"

"Yes! A month ago, a group of mysterious people landed here."

"They were very powerful and slaughtered our comrades along the way in an attempt to pick the fruits."

"But since the fruits weren’t ripe, they turned into mist as soon as they were plucked."

"They picked hundreds of fruits without success. We fought them to the death, and in the end, they captured the Crane King and left this place."

"We beg the master to save the Crane King!"

Gu Xiaoxi gasped in shock.

Could she say that she was just an ordinary person?

Not very strong, unable to protect them.

Moreover, she was even more powerless against those they feared.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment, coughed, and asked, "Are they still on the island now?"

"We don’t know? Because too many humans have come this time. It seems that everyone is after the Fruit of Immortality," said the Lion King.

Gu Xiaoxi gazed at the trees full of fruits, feeling a headache coming on.

"These people have indeed come for the Fruit of Immortality. You must not tell anyone else that I have picked a Fruit of Immortality," Gu Xiaoxi instructed.

Otherwise, she would be in danger.

"Master, people keep entering here. Do we still need to stop them?" the Wolf King asked.

As time passed, more and more people poured in.

And among them were many martial arts experts.

"Let’s do this, I’ll pick all the fruits under the tree. They can’t reach those on the tree, and when they come, they will know it’s too difficult and retreat. Afterward, we’ll withdraw to a safe place and make further plans," Gu Xiaoxi calculated.

When she was picking the fruit, she felt Spiritual Energy pouring into her body, providing energy for her body and even changing her bones and physique.

She didn’t know if picking more fruits could have an effect like cleansing the marrow and transforming the sinews, but it would definitely be beneficial to her body.

Her words clearly met no opposition from the beasts.

Jing Haoran and Su San arrived at this moment as well.

When they saw Gu Xiaoxi’s body float up like a sprite, they were so shocked that they immediately opened their mouths wide.

They only saw the woman not far away, holding a basket woven from branches, dancing among the towering ancient trees, her hands plucking the fruit every time.

As the fruit shed its husk, it emitted a multicolored glow, eventually turning into small white berries, which she collected into her basket.

"My god, isn’t that a sprite?" Jing Haoran rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

"So beautiful!" Su San had never seen a person fly before. To fly was one thing, but this tree was even more magical, and the fruit was even more tantalizing.

The two men were so excited they even forgot about the wounds on their bodies, almost ready to kneel and worship Gu Xiaoxi.

If they hadn’t known her from before, they would have thought she was a fairy descending to earth.

*

"How fragrant! Hahaha..."

Just beneath the Tree of Immortality, everyone was looking at the fairy-like woman with worship in their eyes, and the atmosphere was very peaceful.

A rough and arrogant voice shattered the tranquility.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately stopped picking and landed on the treetop, turning her head to look in the direction of the voice.

At some point, a group of black-clothed people had arrived in the sky not far from her.

All dressed in black cloaks, they floated in the air like ghosts, dense and numerous.

If one were to count carefully, there were at least a thousand of them.

"Child of God! I never thought that you would really come!" A man whose features were hidden in the darkness, standing on the back of a Crane King, laughed arrogantly.

Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze fell on him, and she immediately felt a chill in her heart.

Especially the oppressive aura emanating from him, which made her back go cold for no reason.

She remembered the pitch-black night at sea, when during a lightning flash, she was being watched by a pair of eyes...

"What do you want to do?" Gu Xiaoxi tried to maintain her composure, glaring at them. Especially since they had captured the Crane King and were using him as a mount.

"Pluck all the Fruits of Immortality and present them to me," ordered the leader of the black-clothed men.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched the basket in her hand, her lips tight, her gaze icy.

These people were willing to do anything to get the Fruit of Immortality, even going so far as to lead thousands of people here.

It was all to lure the Child of God.

If she hadn’t come, would another group of people be lured in after this one was consumed by the wild beasts?

"And if I refuse?" Gu Xiaoxi’s demeanor was cold and indifferent, her voice detached.

The leading man snorted coldly, "You don’t have the right to refuse. Because I will kill all the animals and people here. I will leave this island barren."

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly let out a sneer, "Trying to scare me? Even though I’m just a weak human being, I’m not easily frightened."

Even though her legs were shaking and she was barely able to stand straight by leaning on the trunk, she still said such words.

She tried her best to stand firm in her aura, not to be outdone by them.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, the black-clothed man raised his hand, and a black shadow pounced directly in front of the Lion King. There was a splattering sound, and the next second, the Lion King’s mountain-like body slowly fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaoxi’s pupils contracted, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her palms.

She saw how even the powerful Lion King had his throat slit in an instant, dying from asphyxiation.

"You have three seconds to consider. If you don’t pluck the fruit and give it to me, I will have them all killed," said the black-clothed man, pointing at Jing Haoran and Su San.

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly found herself unable to breathe.

Did she even have a choice?

"Tell me your name?" Gu Xiaoxi stared at the black-clothed man, clenching her fingers tightly.

"I am Luo Yi! And you are my..." He stopped mid-sentence. The hatred in his tone could be felt by Gu Xiaoxi even from a distance.

This man was very strong, without a doubt!

From their brief confrontation on the ship for the first time, she had felt it.

What’s more, Luo Yi had brought so many people with him.

It seemed that they were determined to obtain the Fruit of Immortality.
