Chapter 421: Wooing the Fairy
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
Chu Feng gazed intently into the distance and spread his spiritual power over several kilometers, but found no more enemies.
The young master of the Chen family from Penglai had immediately dispatched people to kill him. It seemed this person was quite conceited and wouldn"t allow anyone to outdo him. He had chosen to seek vengeance immediately after his unicorn was killed.
"I"m not the one who killed it!" The flames of fury raged within Chu Feng"s heart.
That day, a cart driver and a unicorn had charged into Mount Zhijin and arrogantly summoned Chu Feng to meet their young master.
Back then, man and beast had ignored the native evolvers of earth but treated the outer realm beings with a face full of smiles. That kind of att.i.tude was truly unbearable.
One had to know that the remnant races of Penglai had claimed themselves to be the orthodox lineage of earth.
In the end, the unicorn was killed and roasted by Huang Tong, Ye Lan, and the others. Today, however, it seemed that this Chen clan young master was planning to pin the blame on him.
"You really think I"m easy to bully?!" Chu Feng"s eye erupted with spiritual light and surged with killing intent.
He had touched neither man nor beast during the entire process but was being picked on instead. Today, the Penglai Immortal Island had sent five experts across the sea to kill him. Just how unreasonable was this Chen family young master?!
"Do you think you own the planet just because you claim to be the orthodox lineage? You think you can kill and cut as you wish?!" Chu Feng exhaled in resentment, his emotions complicated.
It was said that this Young Master Chen of the Penglai Immortal Islands had charged into the depths of a certain famed mountain and was wooing an outer-realm saintess with great ardor.
After some thought, Chu Feng felt that he had no time to deal with this Chen family young master. He needed to increase his own strength quickly and without delay. He would go and finish off that person later when an opportunity presented itself.
During these days, Chu Feng stayed on Mount Lao and studied the local topography, looking for a way to approach the old date tree. Essence flames of extreme yang would still flare up from time to time, but his attainments also increased rapidly.
"There"s definitely something in the mountain or, more precisely, this well.
Once again, Chu Feng approached the date tree which was rooted firmly within the cliff. He saw clearly that the mountain was like a well and contained within was dense essence flames of extreme yang.
But even the Fiery Pupils had met their match; he still couldn"t see through the essence flame well within the mountain.
"This date tree might have germinated from a sage root fragment. It"s still not showing any signs of being a divine medicine, but the medicinal effects might become evident after a few years."
Chu Feng gazed intently and continuously. It seemed there were sage roots within the numerous famed mountains. They couldn"t grow back immediately but would eventually recover.
He studied the heavenly book which the Saintess Yangshan had gifted him and practiced continuously. He comprehended a great deal of its content and the accomplishment filled him with the delight.
Two days later, Chu Feng finally arrived near the date tree. This progress could be attributed to his comprehension of the secret volume and him building up his skills in this field. At the present stage, no one could rival him on earth!
And all of this was self-taught.
Such an achievement would stupefy every domain researcher even in the starry skies. If those famous old masters were to know of this, they would definitely make him a disciple at all costs.
In a certain sense, Chu Feng"s talents with domains were somewhat shocking!
After breaking through the domains, the intense fragrance of the fiery dates rushed out and a.s.saulted his senses. The old tree was extremely large and verdant, but there were only a dozen-odd fruits upon it.
The fiery dates glowed resplendently like little lanterns amidst the verdant leaves. The fist-sized fruits were entirely golden and extremely alluring.
Chu Feng immediately picked a fiery date and bite down on it. In any case, there was enough for him to refine medicine, so he just wanted to test its medicinal effects.
After all, he had just broken through recently and was already a great expert with nine severed shackles. Normal fruits were no longer effective for him. He was truly afraid that he would"ve done all of this for nothing!
"How sweet!"
The taste was extremely good and came as a type of enjoyment for Chu Feng. The golden fiery dates were crunchy and delicious but would melt immediately after chewing lightly. It would turn into a syrup of dense sweetness.
The moment the fiery date came in touch with his saliva, it actually turned from crispy to soft and then melted completely.
Within moments, Chu Feng"s body was suffused with golden light and intense energy. Unfortunately, it was unable to help him evolve. He had long since antic.i.p.ated this because his recent rate of evolution had been too fast. Normal fruits simply couldn"t catch up to his rate.
But, it could be used to refine medicine.
"The effects of the fiery dates seem somewhat lacking even when refined into medicine." Chu Feng frowned. He was looking to sever his tenth shackle. This level was extremely high and naturally required extraordinary fruits.
At this point, he had already come into contact with many fruits and was now fairly experienced in this field. Naturally, he could a.s.sess the medicinal effects of the fiery dates after tasting it.
The taste was just perfect. If he could have one every day, he wouldn"t be willing to eat any more dragon or roc meat.
"Mn, the fiery dates were also glowing when I came last time, but not surging with vitality and golden brilliance like so."
Chu Feng"s eyes lit up. When he brought the people from the corporations and the north pole here, the fiery dates weren"t as spiritual as they were now. There was a fair bit of difference.
"Did this mean that they"re not completely mature yet?" He was delighted.
Chu Feng pondered deeply. The medicinal effects would only increase a bit if he refined them into medicine. According to this trend, the effects should be enough after nurturing for half a month!
Additionally, he suspected that the medicinal effects would become even more astonis.h.i.+ng after being nurtured for a longer time, for instance, a couple of months.
"There"s still room to grow. These fiery dates are still far from being ripe." Chu Feng was delighted. If his guess was correct, this fiery date tree wouldn"t just be able to help him evolve just once, but even twice or thrice.
He was momentarily excited, because this, to him, was a treasured tree and could help him evolve many times. He had to protect it well.
Presently, he didn"t study what was in the depths of the fiery well because that was beyond his capabilities. It was more important to take care of this date tree.
"Would I be able to plant my three seeds here?"
Chu Feng was moved. The stone box he had picked up from the base of Mount Kunlun contained three seeds. They had once given him endless surprises. It was just that he couldn"t plant them because he couldn"t find any suitable soil for them in the recent months.
He had a feeling that the three seeds were incomparably important and absolutely couldn"t be lost!
Unfortunately, he couldn"t plant them here either. He found, after observing with his Fiery Eyes, that the date tree was produced by the germination of the sage root which was deep down below the essence flames of extreme yang.
At this stage, there was no way for Chu Feng to go deeper into the fiery well. That would be suicidal.
"Oh well, let"s just keep this tree first."
He pulled back and not only did he repair all the domains but also laid down a couple more layers in order to prevent people from picking these fruits.
"I"ll come back ten days later. I"m truly looking forward to evolving!" Chu Feng was satisfied because he expected himself to evolve in the near future.
Chu Feng left with great satisfaction. Not only did he find these golden fiery dates to look forward to, but he had also comprehended the secret tome on domains here and raised his attainments. His gains were immense.
He wobbled his way out of Mount Huang feeling greatly relaxed.
Chu Feng attracted people"s attention as soon as he arrived in the outside world. He hadn"t even left Anhui region when many people came to find him.
All the outer realm descenders at present believed him to be a native heaven"s chosen. As such, those who had come through the star pa.s.sages wanted to rope in him in so that they could explore the fortunes on this planet.
By the time Chu Feng entered the Hubei region, there was already a group of people behind him. They were naturally of various forms and shapes since they came from different races; not all of them were human-shaped.
This lineup shocked all the evolvers within the Hubei region. Just a while ago, Chu Feng was fighting fiercely with these "extraterrestrials".
But just after a short while, he had accepted a bunch of extraterrestrials as his henchmen?!
Even if they weren"t his henchmen, they were pretty close to it. These ent.i.ties were rus.h.i.+ng to gain his favor and were following him of their own will.
This scene was naturally recorded by some witnesses and released on some major media platforms. This caused a huge commotion and ignited many a debate.
"This Demon King Chu is indeed unconventional. He truly knows how to torment people!" An elder from one of the corporations was full of resentment.
Jiang Luoshen was fairly speechless. She hadn"t seen him for only a short while and yet this fellow had become an honored guest of the descenders? Why did she feel that this was a huge hoax? Heaven"s chosen? She refused to believe it.
"Luoshen, you have to believe it even if you don"t. He really might be the real thing. Why otherwise would the crowd of extraterrestrials keep looking for him? You really must make an early move if you have designs on him. Otherwise, you won"t have the chance." The troublesome old man on Mount Putuo suddenly appeared like a specter, shocking Jiang Luoshen out of her wits.
"d.a.m.ned old man. Why do you make no noise when walking? Your words are simply too uncomfortable to hear. Make a move on him? Besides, he doesn"t even come to Mount Putuo…"
"Don"t rush, I"ll dispatch people to go and pick him up right away!" The old man patted his chest and walked away decisively.
"Ah, you"ve misinterpreted my words. Come back!" Jiang Luoshen chased after the man in frustration, but the old man had already issued the order via his communicator.
At this time, Chu Feng had arrived in Hubei and was promptly discovered by Huang Tong, the lion man from the Alpha Galaxy. "Brother Chu, wait a second. Have you finished the wine I gave you? Not bad, right?"
He was acting with great familiarity. He had gifted Chu Feng some good wine from the Alpha Galaxy last time and even had unicorn meat together with him. Their relations.h.i.+p wasn"t bad.
Huang Tong said enthusiastically, "When will you come back to Mount Lu with me and meet our golden divine child? He really wants to talk to you and also has some fortunes to give you."
Chu Feng smiled. "I do want to go with you, but Miss Ye Lan found me first and wants me to go to Mount Hua to meet the fairy from Andromeda."
The purple-robed cla.s.sical beauty, Ye Lan, walked out from the crowd and was all smiles as she greeted Huang Tong.
Huang Tong was responded with laughter and didn"t rush things. "No matter, it"s fine to visit the fairy first."
Chu Feng complained, "Speaking of which, last time you guys killed the unicorn and invited me to eat its meat. In the end, those people from Penglai are pinning their hatred on me. They dispatched five powerful experts to kill me. How truly rude and unreasonable!"
"What?! They dare turn violent against brother Chu?! They must be tired of living." Huang Tong"s glare was extremely ferocious due to his lion head and human body. The aura being emitted from his body caused many to tremble.
Later on, he waved his hand and said, "Where are they from? The Penglai remnant race? Let"s go! Our brethren will go over and chop him up. The young master of the Penglai lineage? Ha! What does he think he is? This is truly going overboard!"
One had to say that Huang Tong"s rallying power was extremely strong. He immediately agitated an entire group. The main reason, naturally, was that these people wanted to sell Chu Feng a favor and form a relations.h.i.+p with him.
"Go, go, go, let"s chop up that young master. G.o.ddammit! We killed his unicorn and yet he dares target brother Chu. Let"s just kill him too and be done with it."
The native evolvers behind him were shocked. This Demon King Chu has really accepted a group of extraterrestrial henchmen?
At this time, the beautiful lady from Andromeda said a bit awkwardly, "The young master from the Penglai Chen clan should still be in the depths of Mount Hua."
The group was immediately startled.
However, they soon realized the situation. Rumor had it that the young master of Penglai was wooing an outer realm saintess in the depths of a certain famed mountain. He had shocked the world by pursuing the lady with great pa.s.sion.
Huang Tong"s eyes rolled about and rapidly gestured to the group. "Brothers, what are we waiting for. Let"s go to Mount Hua and chop up that young master!"
"Hurrah! Let"s go!" The group chimed in.
Chu Feng didn"t hesitate at all and shouted, "Let"s go! Let"s all go and woo the fairies from Andromeda!"
Many people were dumbfounded and began to chant, "Yes! Woo the fairies of Andromeda! What Penglai young master? When the time comes, he can only crouch down and draw circles on the ground."
Ye Lan was flabbergasted. The matter had truly gone out of her control.
