Chapter 500: Fubuki's Visit
In the outskirts, within a secluded mountainous area, stood an eerie forest of trees that resembled gigantic tentacles, intertwining like massive shrubs across a region spanning thousands of meters. Upon closer inspection, one could spot whitish orbs suspended from the branches, resembling spider cocoons.
At the very heart of this peculiar forest stood a humanoid tree, its roots—enormous and thick—burrowing deep into the ground, extending to unknown distances. This was the God Tree Pain, a puppet crafted by Feng Ye.
Not far from this tree, Lilisse, with her snowy hair neatly cascading down, lay on a tree branch.
Suddenly, the God Tree Pain opened its eyes.
"Lilisse, go and capture some more of those creatures. About ten of them should suffice. Make sure their vitality is similar to the previous ones, or even stronger if possible."
"Yes, Father."
Lilisse opened her eyes and flew up from the treetop, offering a slight bow to the God Tree Pain before retreating into the dark spatial passage.
Moments later, the spatial passage reappeared above the forest, and Lilisse's figure emerged. With a gentle wave of her small hand, she tossed out a dozen struggling creatures.
The God Tree Pain turned its gaze skyward, its massive root system writhing as it spewed forth copious amounts of milky-white liquid towards the captured creatures.
The liquid swiftly engulfed each of them, suspending them in mid-air like prey caught in a spider's web, hanging all around the forest.
Gurgle, gurgle!
The captured creatures struggled desperately, but it was to no avail as they were quickly invaded and controlled by the power of the God Tree, becoming nourishment for it and beginning their transformation into White Zetsus.
After completing this task, Feng Ye, through his control of the God Tree Pain, closed its eyes once more, lulling it back into a deep slumber.
...
In City C, at the Crown Resort Hotel, Feng Ye, who had been lounging by the poolside in sunglasses, basking in the sunlight, sat up and removed his shades.
"The progress is faster than expected. It shouldn't take more than three days to enter the growth phase, and at this rate, it might take just half a month to reach maturity." Feng Ye mused.
He stood up and walked towards the pool, stretching his body before executing a perfect dive, effortlessly slicing into the water with barely a splash. He swam gracefully underwater for a moment before resurfacing.
On one side of the pool, a beautiful woman with golden curly hair and cerulean eyes that sparkled with a hint of mischief commented, "What a splendid move! Your swimming skills are impressive."
Feng Ye offered a casual smile. "Thanks, I guess."
The golden-haired beauty smiled charmingly. "If that's just 'guess,' then I can't even begin to fathom what excellence would look like. My personal coach doesn't even come close... Care to join me for a drink?"
Feng Ye swam to the opposite side of the pool and stopped. "I'd love to, but I'm expecting a guest soon."
"Oh..." The golden-haired woman's eyes roamed appreciatively over Feng Ye's body. "Well, if you're free tonight, feel free to drop by for a drink. I'm in Room 003."
Although she didn't quite understand Feng Ye's words, she assumed he was inviting her to dinner. It had been a long time since she had met a man so stunningly handsome.
As she watched Feng Ye dive back into the pool, she stood up from the side of the pool, picked up her sunglasses, and began walking back toward the hotel.
As she passed through the entrance, she happened to bump into a short-haired beauty in a dark swimsuit, causing her to pause briefly. After passing by, she turned to steal another glance.
"That woman..."
"She looks like Fubuki, the top-ranked B-Class hero from Hell?"
She paused briefly in thought but didn't linger. Her father was one of the shareholders of the Hero Association, so even S-Class heroes were a common sight. She wasn't particularly interested in heroes.
As she disappeared into the hotel through the revolving door, Fubuki, who had arrived at the pool, swept her gaze indifferently across the area. Then, she strode purposefully in one direction.
Soon, she reached the edge of the pool.
The pool water was exceptionally clear, and she could see Feng Ye swimming towards her from a distance before finally surfacing in front of her.
Feng Ye floated in the water, looking up at a pair of pristine, jade-like soles and slender ankles.
As he continued to look up, he met a pair of gem-like emerald eyes, gazing down at him with a hint of indifference.
Their gazes locked.
Feng Ye smiled calmly and lightly, showing no sign of surprise. "My guest has finally arrived. Fubuki from Hell, I presume?"
A slight ripple appeared in Fubuki's eyes, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "You knew I was coming?"
"Yes," Feng Ye replied casually. "I just happened to see the future of your arrival."
Feng Ye smiled amiably, reached out, and pressed his hand against the edge of the pool. With a smooth motion, he slid out of the water and onto the poolside, wiping the droplets from his face before strolling over to a nearby lounge chair.
Fubuki watched this display, her eyebrows knitting together in a deep frown. She let out a soft hmmph. "Trying to pressure me with that kind of future talk is rather low-level, don't you think?"
Feng Ye chuckled lightly.
He didn't respond to Fubuki's comment but instead sat down in the lounge chair. He casually took a glass of juice from a passing waiter, took a sip, and said, "Now, what brings you here? Oh, and you might want to hurry, as a disaster will strike this city in about ten minutes, and I'll need to deal with it first."
"..."
Fubuki's forehead creased with irritation.
Arrogant!
Conceited!
He didn't put her in his eyes at all!
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and maintain her composure. Fixing her gaze on Feng Ye, she said slowly, "As the top-ranked B-Class hero, I heard that someone skipped the ranks and was recognized by the Association as an A-Class hero. That's why I came to visit you specially."
"However, I'm a little disappointed now. I didn't expect the person who skipped my rank to be a braggart. It seems you've deceived everyone in the Association."
