Chapter 685: Two Lolis Ming Cuiliu

"What did you mean by that?" Young Lady Xi, her beautiful ears perked up, heard him clearly and distinctly, asking what he intended to do.

Chu Feng stammered for a long time, then finally sighed towards the sky and said, "I wanted to talk to her about the indispensable dreams in life, about all those beautiful things. Never mind, it's already in the past, no need to bring it up."

Young Lady Xi scoffed, "Just keep pretending. Sooner or later, you'll be struck by lightning!"

Hearing this, Chu Feng shivered, genuinely afraid of attracting lightning and thunder. He had almost undergone tribulation when he first entered the Dining Cloud Realm, and that breakthrough was very smooth and complete. But he forcibly suppressed it, not daring to undergo tribulation, fearing that causing a disturbance on a dead planet would lead to an unknown demise. As a result, it had been delayed until now. Unfortunately, he was currently lacking a certain material: the highly spiritual purple crystal. He wanted to create a large amount of purple crystal divine lightning during his tribulation, which would be an essential weapon for home and travel. Such a powerful weapon was related to the strength of the person undergoing tribulation. If Chu Feng were to create purple crystal divine lightning during his tribulation, its immense power would be obvious.

Chu Feng regained his composure and said, "Find a time to disappear for half a day to take me to Earth. Then, you can bring the spaceship back." He also had to consider Young Lady Xi's safety. The spaceship was her greatest safeguard. If her secret as a person from the Yang Realm were exposed, she would surely die without the ship, completely unable to escape. This was because those who wanted to capture her were all powerful beings!

"At least you have a conscience," Young Lady Xi remarked. She also felt that having the spaceship follow her invisibly through space was the only way she could feel at ease; otherwise, she would always be apprehensive. In fact, her biggest problem was her overwhelming Yang energy. Her physique was too unique for people of the Underworld, like a human-shaped divine furnace, radiating heat. However, Chu Feng had used Nine Nether Stones to embed into her battle suit, creating a unique field that helped her resolve this obvious issue. Additionally, Young Lady Xi used special methods to prevent her Yang energy from leaking, so she wouldn't expose herself in the short term. The real concern was if she got into a life-or-death battle, which could easily lead to problems. At that point, with a major Yang Realm ability or divine skill erupting, combined with her physique, her Yang energy would undoubtedly boil over, and even a fool would understand what was happening.

Soon after, Young Lady Xi found an excuse to leave, saying she needed to cultivate and go into seclusion on that planet for a day or two before continuing their journey. She and Chu Feng simply vanished, piloting the spaceship into the cosmos.

"The Spirit Race is truly hateful, utterly despicable!" Chu Feng was looking at the photos: bloodstains in front of Immortal Mountain, several great demons lying dead in Kunlun, the Black Ox dismembered at the waist—these images truly agitated him.

"Search for any Spirit Race resource planets in the star systems we pass through. We'll go and plunder them!" Chu Feng said. He had a deep-seated grudge. The reason the Black Ox, Northeast Tiger, and the Kunlun great demons suffered such losses this time—some dying, some severely wounded—was primarily their insufficient evolution ranks. Therefore, he wanted to gather evolutionary fruits to help them evolve! Thinking of this, he contacted Uncle Ming, wanting to learn more from him. If they could also find some purple crystals, that would be even better. After his tribulation, he would return with a basketful of deadly weapons, making sure those people would have nowhere to hide.

Soon after, Uncle Ming responded, providing coordinates for several resource planets. There were not only those belonging to the Spirit Race but also to the Xilin Race and the Heaven God Race, with their unique products marked.

"Let's do something big!" Young Lady Xi rubbed her hands together, eager and more enthusiastic than Chu Feng, because she discovered a fruit called the Six Yang Fruit. This tempted her greatly; she really wanted to... eat it! Currently, whether it was food in boiling water or various exotic fruits on trees, she found them all chillingly Yin-heavy and impossible to swallow. She yearned to hide in the sun all day long. And her greatest wish now was to one day find a nest of Golden Crow eggs inside a sun, and then... boil them and feast!

Chu Feng was speechless after hearing this. Her demand was too high, as those were divine bird eggs, almost extinct in the world! Now, having discovered the Six Yang Fruit, Young Lady Xi was extremely interested, believing it might be something she could actually eat.

"Hmm, according to records, this thing grows in underground magma. It's full of Yang energy and can burn people, but it can also allow suitable individuals to evolve to a very high realm."

Chu Feng looked at the coordinates sent by Uncle Ming. The territories controlled by these powerful cosmic races were too vast, occupying many resource planets, with a surprising few even in the Milky Way Galaxy. However, for these races, these were enclaves, far from their main bases and not their traditional spheres of influence.

Chu Feng and Young Lady Xi landed on a gray, barren planet, devoid of vegetation, with sand and stones flying everywhere. They truly wondered if they had come to the wrong place. Eventually, they saw slaves mining and also discovered a special stone mine guarded by cultivators. Here, a fruit grew in a grotto, with a rough, stone-like surface. It was said to be formed from the evolution of underground spiritual substances, condensing into a fruit. Unfortunately, it could only allow one to evolve to the Shackled Realm, not a very high tier.

"How pathetic," Chu Feng sighed, realizing their trip here was in vain. This fruit would only produce high-tier variants if it grew for several millennia, which was impossible for such an enclave to invest heavily in cultivating exotic fruits.

They headed to the next planet. Soon after, Young Lady Xi was practically trembling and yelping because it was a world of ice and snow, with howling winds and heavy snowfall. The entire planet was covered in a silvery blanket, with no other colors visible. If Uncle Ming hadn't given her a Sun Stone, which she always kept close, she would probably have frozen to death here.

"Is it that bad? It makes me want to go winter swimming here," Chu Feng said, chiseling through a glacier and looking at the large river beneath the ice and snow, eager to try. Young Lady Xi yelped, ran back to the spaceship, and absolutely refused to come out.

Ultimately, Chu Feng harvested a strange snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain. Each plant had a shimmering blue lotus seed, like a sapphire, an exotic fruit that could help one evolve to the Contemplation Realm! Of course, this only allowed the physical body to transform and spiritual power to increase. As for the comprehension required for the Contemplation Realm, one still had to rely on their own insights. If the requirements weren't met, even with such a fruit, it would be difficult to advance further.

Chu Feng sighed, "How could these so-called resource planets be so barren?" There were only thirteen blue lotus seeds in total.

Young Lady Xi said, "Truly fertile planets are certainly heavily guarded. How could they allow you to enter and exit as you please?"

Their next stop was a scorching planet, covered in volcanoes, with even magma lakes on its surface. Despite such a harsh environment, it wasn't a dead planet; plants actually grew there. For instance, fire vines grew inside the volcanoes, entirely crimson and glowing with fiery light. And fire mulberry trees, rooted in clusters across the surface, absorbing magma, creating a vibrant red spectacle from afar. In the fire mulberry forests, people were harvesting mulberries and raising silkworms—a precious type of fire silkworm whose silk could be refined into treasure robes.

"There's a master at the Golden Arhat level stationed on this planet. It seems truly extraordinary!" Chu Feng whispered.

"It's finally not so cold," Young Lady Xi said, sitting by a magma lake and dangling her small legs in the magma. However, she wrinkled her nose and added, "But the sulfur smell is too strong. It really smells like hell."

"The Six Yang Fruit is underground. At the very least, it's an exotic fruit that can help one evolve to the peak of the Contemplation Realm. If it's high-tier, it can even help one evolve to the Golden Arhat level. This is a rare and precious fruit, so it's probably heavily guarded," Chu Feng said. This was a resource planet of the Heaven God Race.

Young Lady Xi was fierce now, her large eyes glowing green as she waved her small fists. "Blast them with the Heavenly Dao Umbrella! I finally found something I can eat. Anyone who dares to stop me from eating is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth or meat from a dragon's maw!"

They went underground, successfully reaching thousands of meters deep, to the shore of a magma sea. Ground fire burned, and clusters of plants grew, resembling tea trees, none taller than half a meter, bearing fiery red fruits with an enchanting fragrance. These fruits were fist-sized, as red as coral and gems, captivating the heart. As they approached, the aroma grew stronger.

"Only one Golden Arhat level individual stationed here? No, damn it, one-third of these fruits have been picked. The high-tier ones must be gone; only twelve remain." Chu Feng was displeased, knowing without a doubt that the picked fruits must have corresponded to a very significant evolutionary level. However, he soon showed delight. Among the remaining twelve fruits, several were exceptionally fragrant. He keenly sensed that these corresponded to the Dining Cloud Realm. The rest could only help one evolve to the peak of the Contemplation Realm.

Chu Feng was joyful, muttering to himself, "Good, if Big Black and the others all evolve to the Dining Cloud Realm, they'll be formidable enough to easily handle any holy son!"

"So fragrant, I'm so hungry!" Young Lady Xi was practically drooling, rarely acting so unreservedly. The main reason was her hunger; she couldn't eat anything in the Underworld.

With a whoosh, an old man meditating by the magma opened his eyes. His gaze shot out cold lightning, sharp and intimidating. At the same time, his body emitted golden light, radiating a powerful aura of vital blood. Young Lady Xi acted fiercely, having already thrown out the Heavenly Dao Umbrella. With a bang, it covered the old man, causing his formidable aura to dissipate instantly.

Neither of them showed any mercy, as they had learned upon arriving that this planet originally had indigenous inhabitants, a race of dwarves living underground. The Heaven God Race had nearly exterminated them, and the survivors were forced to mine for them. There was no suspense; even with all his power, the expert could only turn into a mist of blood under the Heavenly Dao Umbrella. Chu Feng's eyelids twitched watching this. This weapon was too effective. If it weren't for Earth's restrictions, he would truly want to bring it to his home planet and go on a killing spree, sweeping away all enemies.

"Pfft, sulfur smell. It carries the scent of hell and the Underworld," Young Lady Xi complained, spitting out a Six Yang Fruit as soon as she bit into it, repeatedly saying it didn't taste good. Chu Feng was stunned because he found it incredibly fragrant, making him want to eat a few himself, his mouth watering. But he held back, intending to take them back for his brothers to use for evolution. Young Lady Xi had helped him so much, and seeing her waste it like that, he could only open and close his mouth, unable to say anything.

"Sigh, when in Rome," Young Lady Xi said, frowning as if swallowing poison, forcing herself to eat three of the bright red and fragrant fruits. Finally, she was full. If anyone else ate that much, they would have long turned into charcoal. This was because the Six Yang Fruit accumulated essence from ground fire, containing incredibly terrifying fire-path energy.

Their last stop was in the Milky Way Galaxy, not very far from Earth. This was a resource planet controlled by the Spirit Race, and Chu Feng hadn't held much hope for it. He had found that truly good, high-tier exotic fruits were likely in the main strongholds of the various races, and the external enclaves were quite barren.

This planet was covered in seas of sand, with a scorching sun. Ordinary creatures could easily be dried into jerky here. However, there were also some oases in the desert, providing basic living conditions for some creatures.

"What kind of tree is this? It's golden!" Chu Feng exclaimed in surprise. He felt a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation and instantly became energetic.

"A willow tree, very peculiar. This tree actually emits Yang energy, impressive!" Young Lady Xi immediately perked up, seeing a satisfactory target. This willow tree was unique, rooted in the dry desert, far from oases and without water, yet it grew remarkably well. Its trunk was thick and cracked on the surface, its leaves were all golden, the entire tree glowed with golden light, and Yang energy surged from it, clearly distinguishing it from other exotic fruit trees. On the tree, there were eighteen fruits, all golden, resembling dates but much larger, each about the size of a small bowl, and every fruit exuded Yang energy.

"This is a mutated willow tree that was once struck by lightning. It counts as a lightning-struck wood, no wonder its Yang energy is so strong!" Chu Feng realized the truth. On the willow tree, a section of branch at the main trunk's fork glowed, bare of leaves and twigs. It was a former part of the trunk that had carbonized and died.

There were many cultivators guarding nearby, including five at the Golden Arhat level, though they were all in seclusion, showing how highly they valued this willow tree. Soon, Chu Feng captured a cultivator and learned from him that this was a willow tree spirit that had failed a tribulation, was beaten back to its original form, and became a rare lightning-struck exotic fruit tree. Typically, such exotic fruits were more valuable than others, with their abundant Yang energy offering immense benefits to cultivators. The eighteen golden fruits on this tree had already been reserved for the direct descendants of the Spirit Race's bloodline—only geniuses and descendants of saints were permitted to enjoy them.

"I never imagined finding such a treasure tree here!" On the willow tree, more than ten fruits corresponded to the Dining Cloud Realm, capable of allowing one to evolve to that level! Moreover, the fruits of this tree were still growing. Given enough time, it was very possible they could reach the Form-Shaping and Golden Body levels. Of course, its most precious quality was its surging Yang energy, making its medicinal effects far stronger than other exotic fruits of the same rank. It was said that in some time, a Half-Saint would come here to meditate. If the tree could be uprooted, they would certainly take it, but the Spirit Race worried it might not adapt to a different environment.

Chu Feng and Young Lady Xi became thieves, moving swiftly, transforming into streaks of light and rushing to the willow tree. More than a dozen fruits were picked clean in an instant.

"This fruit tastes good, no sulfur smell. Although its Yang energy is meager, it's better than those chillingly Yin ones," Young Lady Xi commented. After eating one, she couldn't eat any more. "I need to save a few. These are rations," she said, beaming. Chu Feng ultimately couldn't bring himself to eat any. He really wanted to taste them, but to help his group of brothers advance, he held back, deciding to return to Earth first.

"Where did these petty thieves come from!" someone roared. The Spirit Race forces were enraged. They truly hadn't expected anyone to dare snatch food from a tiger's mouth, coming here to steal fruits. For years, it had been peaceful, so they had grown accustomed to lax vigilance. Who would have thought an entire tree's worth of fruits would be plundered!

With a snap, Chu Feng broke off the carbonized lightning-struck wood and took it. With the fruits picked clean and the lightning-struck wood gone, the willow tree gradually returned to its vibrant green color.

"Let's go!" After the two unleashed the Heavenly Dao Umbrella and obliterated a group of people, they jumped onto the spaceship and fled.

Finally, after several space jumps, the spaceship approached Earth, and Chu Feng returned! This time, he returned with a full harvest!

"Old Black, you almost got beaten to death, and Brother Tiger, Old Donkey, and Yellow Ox were all severely wounded. I've brought you exotic fruits. Now, it's up to you to comprehend the Dao. The door to the Dining Cloud Realm is about to open for you. Later, come with me to hunt down those damned Junda eggs! Whether they're alien holy sons, divine daughters, or local traitors, we'll settle the score together!"
