The voice that came out of nowhere shocked Ye Chen.
He looked in the direction of the voice and realized that the water lily in front of him was trembling slightly, "Are you the one talking?"
"B-Bad guy, of course it's me!"
A voice that sounded like a five or six-year-old girl's was heard again. The water lily trembled even more frequently, "Bad guy, can you not kill them …"
"Interesting!"
Ye Chen raised his brows and took a good look at the water lily. He did not expect it to be able to speak. One had to know that creatures like demonic beasts could not speak human language unless they reached Foundation Building. If they wanted to transform into a human, they would need to reach Golden Core cultivation base.
"Why can't I kill them?"
Ye Chen said with interest, "Since you can speak, you must have a certain level of intelligence. Then, you should know that these two demonic beasts have been waiting for the day you mature before eating you."
"I know!"
The water lily said innocently, "But I've been here for 300 years. They're the ones who talk to me. If you kill them, I'll be bored and unhappy. Then, I'll die."
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry, "How dare you threaten me? Do you know that you can't even protect yourself? "
"I know that too!"
The water lily's timid voice sounded again, "Last time, a big bad guy like you discovered me. I knew that I couldn't protect myself."
Ye Chen asked, "Is he a formation master?"
"Yes, he's a formation master, an old man. He's much more disgusting than you. As soon as he saw me, he would dance with his hands and feet and smile lewdly. However, we ignored him."
At this point, the water lily said in an extremely childish manner, "Bad guy, as long as you don't kill them, I'll give you the fruit when the time comes. Is that okay?"
"Sure, but you have to promise me something!"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered a few times as he said, "After you mature, not only do you have to give me the fruit, but you have to leave with me. You have to know that you've been exposed. If you continue to stay here, you know what will happen."
"Like hell I'll believe you. You're just as bad as that old man. Both of you want me!"
Ye Chen was speechless when he heard that. "I only want the Earth Immortal Fruit. The reason why I want your true form is because you're the root of the earth. Staying here is just like gathering dust. If you come with me, you might be able to break free from the shackles of your true form and transform into a human."
"Of course, if you don't agree, then I'll kill these two animals right now and come back when you've matured. At that time, it won't be up to you to choose!"
Extreme killing intent exploded in Ye Chen's eyes as he looked at the two giant loaches after saying that.
Seeing that he was about to turn hostile, the water lily trembled violently and immediately relented. "Don't, I promise you!"
"Alright!"
Ye Chen then retracted the killing intent on his body. He said to the giant loach expressionlessly, "You guys do the same. Hand over the soul blood."
The two giant loaches hesitated for a moment. In the end, they opened their mouths and spat. Two streams of red blood that looked like earthworms landed in Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said, "From now on, your lives are in my hands. As long as you serve me wholeheartedly, you won't have to worry about your safety. I'll even guide you to Foundation Building in the future."
The two giant loaches let out a low growl, as if they were agreeing.
"Very well. From now on, you guys are responsible for guarding the Earth Immortal Fruit. You're not allowed to eat it without permission, nor are you allowed to expose yourself. I'll come back in three days!"
After arranging everything, Ye Chen left the Spirit Fog Island quietly. The venerable stage powerhouse in charge of guarding the Spirit Fog Island did not notice him at all.
…
As soon as he returned to the entrance of the King Mu Fort, he realized that the entire fort was brightly lit. It was as if a great enemy had come.
An Illuminating Pulse martial artist guarding the door was stunned at first when he saw Ye Chen. Subsequently, he rushed into the castle hurriedly and said as he ran, "Castle master, young mistress, that piece of trash is back. No, it's young master!"
In an instant, the entire King Mu Fort was in chaos.
Soon, the young mistress, Mu Caiwei, walked out quickly with her men. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Chen.
"Disperse!"
She did not say anything unnecessary. She waved her hand and gestured for all the warriors to leave.
On the other hand, Wang Chengliang, who was in charge of guarding the King Mu Fort, jumped out. He pointed at Ye Chen's nose and scolded, "Trash, where did you go? Do you know … "
"Shut up!"
Before Ye Chen could speak, Mu Caiwei shouted coldly, "Wang Chengliang, remember, Young Master Shi is my fiancé now, and he's also the future young master of the King Mu Fort. If I hear you being rude to him again, you'll bear the consequences!"
Wang Chengliang's face was flushed red. He could only look at Ye Chen with hatred. He did not expect Mu Caiwei to scold him for Ye Chen.
"Come in with me!"
Mu Caiwei did not care about Wang Chengliang's expression. She turned around and left after taking a good look at Ye Chen.
…
In Mu Caiwei's room.
Mu Caiwei looked at Ye Chen in a daze, "Where did you go?"
Half an hour ago, the King Mu Fort realized that Ye Chen was missing. The entire fort was in an uproar. Countless people were looking for Ye Chen everywhere.
Countless thoughts flashed through Mu Caiwei's mind at that time. She thought that Ye Chen had escaped or that a hostile force like the City Governor's Mansion had captured him.
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "I was bored, so I went out for a walk!"
"The situation is unclear now. Plus, tomorrow is our wedding day, so it's better if you don't walk around. If you're really bored, I can get Jiu 'er to accompany you around the King Mu Fort."
Mu Caiwei did not pursue the matter. She was smart enough to know that Ye Chen had probably gone to the Spirit Fog Island. However, to her, Ye Chen did not enter the Spirit Fog Island at all.
After all, the Spirit Fog Island was guarded by the commander of the City Governor's Mansion, Situ Lei, and Situ Lei was at the venerable stage.
Ye Chen suddenly said, "Oh yeah, I want to ask you a question!"
After saying that, he took out the Legend of Mountains and Seas that he found on the first floor of the library and pretended to be curious as he asked, "Who wrote this book?"
Mu Caiwei's pretty face changed slightly, but she quickly hid it. She did not answer his question, "Why are you asking this?"
Ye Chen saw her reaction and said while smiling, "No, I just think that the content of this book is too absurd. However, it's quite interesting, so I want to know who wrote it."
"This is a forbidden book. Don't read it anymore. Otherwise, it'll bring disaster to you and even our King Mu Fort!"
Mu Caiwei took the book over and destroyed it in front of Ye Chen as she spoke.
