The Most Generous Master Ever

826 Netherworld Fruit Tree

Still in shock, Ming Yue looked warily at the corpse on the ground. After a while, she looked around. She did not dare to be careless anymore. This sudden attack reminded her that this was an extremely dangerous place.

She also secretly blamed herself. In the past, she had never been so careless. Why was she so distracted today?

Ming Yue looked at the man beside her and thought to herself. Perhaps it was his company that lowered her vigilance.

Such a thing could not happen again. Not once.

Ming Yue panted and couldn’t help but say coldly, “Thank you.”

Her tone was still as cold as ever. Seeing that his senior sister had returned to her usual state, Ye Qiu’s heart trembled and he was a little worried. It wasn’t easy to break through her mental defense. Could it be repaired because of this?

Before Ye Qiu could answer, Ming Yue answered his doubts with her actions. She silently held his hand and felt the warmth from his palm and the cold woman’s calm tone.

“Let’s go.” Ye Qiu finally revealed a smile. Ming Yue was still the same Ming Yue. She hadn’t changed at all. No matter how much she liked him, she still had this attitude.

This was what Ye Qiu admired about her the most.

“Let’s go.”

The two of them stepped onto the Netherworld Road again. As they continued deeper, the yellow sand that filled the sky became even more violent.

Yellow smoke rose everywhere, blocking all their vision. They could only hold each other’s hands and walk by feeling.

At this moment, Ye Qiu finally understood the true meaning of that sentence.

There was no turning back on the path to hell!

The true meaning was not that you really could not turn back, but the moment you entered this place, you had already lost contact with everything in the past. You could not find the way back at all. Every trace you left behind was slowly buried with the yellow sand.

At this moment, Ye Qiu stood in the yellow sand and looked at a void world. He was hesitant. They had already lost their path. Even the desolate ancient path they came from had disappeared.

“I’m afraid there’s really no turning back this time.”

Ming Yue was speechless after hearing his mutters. After a while, she replied, “I never look back! From the moment we walked this path, we were destined to walk until the end. Perhaps, after passing through this yellow sand, we can reach the pure land in our hearts. There, we can truly comprehend the profundities of life.”

Ye Qiu didn’t say anything and fell into deep thought.

The profundity of life!

Celestial Thearch Zhen Wu had once spoken about this problem. Even he could not explain this problem and was trapped by it for his entire life.

Was longevity really that important? Why were so many ancient people stepping onto this path of no return?

Ye Qiu didn’t know. At the very least, he still couldn’t understand this principle.

The two of them supported each other and slowly walked the long path. Neither of them could remember how long they had been walking. ????????nr????????????. ????????????

Bang!

Just as the two of them were about to reach the other side of the other world, a sound suddenly came from the yellow smoke that filled the sky.

Their expressions instantly changed and they looked warily in the direction of the voice.

“That’s…”

When they saw the source of the sound, fear and uneasiness flashed across their eyes. It was a skull without a body or soul. Its entire body emitted a blood-colored light.

The most terrifying thing was not its appearance, but its aura.

“Above the Dao Sacrificial! Damn it, what I was afraid of really happened.” At this moment, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but curse. He originally thought that everything would be fine and he would successfully survive.

He did not expect such an ancient god to suddenly appear just as he was about to reach the finish line.

The moment the skull woke up, the surrounding yellow sand instantly fell, and an incomparably heavy and terrifying pressure instantly pressed down. The two of them felt their shoulders sink, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

“What a powerful pressure. This aura has probably already reached the level of the First Elder, right?”

Ming Yue frowned and her heart trembled. Her mind raced as she thought of a countermeasure.

She was a very strange woman. Unlike most women who panicked when they encountered things. She was the opposite. The more dangerous something was, the calmer she became. She was so calm that it was terrifying.

After a long silence, she was the first to apologize. “Ming Yue and Junior Brother Ye Qiu greet Senior! The two of us barged into Senior’s sleeping place because we had no choice. We didn’t mean to disturb you. I hope Senior can forgive us.”

It had to be said that her reaction was really fast. The awakened blood-colored skull was just about to attack when it instantly stopped when it heard her words.

As if it was filled with interest in the little girl in front of it, the skull grinned and actually spoke. “Haha… What a polite little girl. I’ve been sleeping here for many years and have seen countless bold outlaws barge in here to try to pluck the fruits from the Netherworld Fruit Tree. Unfortunately, their corpses were buried under that fruit tree and became fertilizer. If they were as polite as you, they might not have to die.”

As soon as these words were spoken, their expressions changed. Ye Qiu was even more shocked.

“Netherworld Fruit Tree! There’s really a Netherworld Fruit Tree here.”

Ye Qiu was shocked. That Netherworld Fruit was known as the supreme treasure of the Netherworld Three Treasures. He had one in his hand, but he couldn’t bear to eat it. He did not expect there to be a natural Netherworld Fruit Tree here. This was something even more precious than the Netherworld Fruit.

With it, it also meant that he could achieve the freedom of the Netherworld Fruit. This was not a joke.

Ye Qiu was excited and was just about to speak when he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, “Senior, the two of us have no intention of offending the Netherworld Holy Tree. We were just forced to barge in unintentionally. If we disturb Senior, please forgive us. We’ll leave immediately.”

Compared to the Netherworld Fruit Tree, Ye Qiu felt that his life was more important. This timely brake also successfully saved his and Ming Yue’s lives because the blood-colored skull had been observing their expressions.

When Ye Qiu saw this small detail, he immediately determined that this senior was deliberately testing them. He had also deliberately said the Netherworld Fruit Tree because the greed in the eyes of ordinary people could not be hidden when they heard this name.

The moment he made this judgment, Ye Qiu instantly understood that this senior was testing if the two of them were really here for the Netherworld Fruit Tree.

And whether what they had just said was true.

If they had accidentally barged in, it was impossible for them to know that the Netherworld Fruit Tree was here. If they knew, they would have come prepared!

Clearly, the blood-colored skull had already seen the answer it wanted. From Ye Qiu and Ming Yue’s surprised gazes just now, they clearly didn’t know.
