Divine-level Base
Chapter 382: Divine Offering
’Father dotes on me so much. Even if I do something out of line, he won’t blame me!’
Zhu Binglan’s beautiful eyes flickered with indecision. But after being bathed in that blue light, a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip and said, "Alright! Let’s go!"
Dugu Hai was overjoyed. He quickly disguised himself as an ordinary follower and walked behind Zhu Binglan, heading toward the Zhu Mansion.
"Young Miss, who is this?"
At the entrance of the Zhu Mansion, two guards of the Great Spirit Master Level saw Dugu Hai beside Zhu Binglan and immediately stopped them.
"This is my new follower. Now, are you going to step aside?"
A cold glint flashed in Zhu Binglan’s eyes as she snapped.
The two Great Spirit Master-level guards gave a bitter smile and had no choice but to step aside.
Zhu Binglan was a direct daughter of the Zhu Clan, the most beloved daughter of Patriarch Zhu Guangsheng, the fifth most beautiful woman in the Qianyuan Republic, and the "Flower of the Zhu Clan." In her presence, those two Great Spirit Master-level guards were nothing.
"Young Miss, the Patriarch requests your presence at the welcoming banquet for Lord Shu Feng."
Zhu Binglan had been walking through the Zhu Mansion with Dugu Hai for a while when a beautiful maidservant came to her side.
Zhu Binglan said icily, "I know! You may leave!"
The beautiful maidservant bowed respectfully to Zhu Binglan and then withdrew.
A look of disgust flashed in Zhu Binglan’s eyes as she muttered under her breath, "Honestly, just one little Shu Feng has our entire Zhu Clan running around like headless chickens. How annoying!"
An apologetic look crossed Zhu Binglan’s eyes. "Brother Hai, I’m afraid I have to trouble you to come with me. Don’t worry, I would never get together with Shu Feng."
Dugu Hai said with tender affection, "Binglan, don’t worry. I will always believe you!"
The two of them made their way to a luxurious palace hall.
Zhu Binglan walked over to a table where a dozen or so direct-line daughters of the Zhu Clan were gathered, all dressed to the nines and exceptionally beautiful. Dugu Hai stood behind Zhu Binglan like an ordinary attendant.
As soon as those dozen or so Zhu Clan daughters saw Zhu Binglan, they ganged up on her, their words laced with barbed sarcasm, mocking her for being blind.
Zhu Binglan, however, simply maintained a perfect, fake smile, pretending not to understand a thing and said nothing.
「An hour later.」
Shu Feng finally entered the palace hall, accompanied by Zhu Chenyu, the Half-Saint Zhu Yan, and Patriarch Zhu Guangsheng.
Seven Spirit Venerable-level Zhu Clan Elders followed behind them. And behind those Spirit Venerable-level Elders were the main-lineage representatives from each branch of the clan.
Seeing this, a particularly stunning beauty from the Zhu Clan sighed wistfully, "Sister Chen Yu is so lucky!!"
Another Zhu Clan beauty, who had a supermodel’s figure and was in fact an international model, also had a flash of envy in her eyes. "Yeah!! Shu Feng is already so incredible. In the future, he might even become Blue Star’s first Divine Spirit-level powerhouse!! When that happens, Sister Chen Yu might be able to attain eternal life."
At these words, Zhu Binglan’s delicate body trembled slightly, and a trace of regret flickered in her eyes.
Eternal youth and an undying life are the dreams of all women. Once Shu Feng became a Divine Spirit-level powerhouse, he would absolutely have the ability to grant his women eternal youth and immortality.
Zhu Binglan bit her lip. ’I still have Brother Hai. As long as Brother Hai loves me, it’s all worth it!’
Zhu Xiaoxiao stared intently at Shu Feng, a strange glint in her beautiful eyes. ’Divine Spirit Level!! With his potential, he might really become the first Divine Spirit-level powerhouse on Blue Star!!’
Shu Feng, Zhu Chenyu, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Guangsheng sat alone at one table. Only after they were seated were all sorts of rare delicacies delivered to each table by a line of attendants.
"Shu Feng, not long ago, I acquired an unparalleled delicacy. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed! Someone, bring it in!"
Zhu Yan smiled confidently and clapped his hands lightly.
A beautiful maidservant walked in holding a silver platter, which she carefully placed on the table.
The moment Zhu Yan lifted the lid of the silver platter, rays of seven-colored light poured out, and a strange, wonderful fragrance instantly spread throughout the hall.
The gazes of everyone in the great hall focused on that silver platter.
On the silver platter sat a small tree, completely transparent like crystal. Hovering on this small tree were seven longan-sized fruits. Each fruit glowed with a seven-colored light, and a strange aroma wafted from them, making one’s mouth water.
Wisps of a nearly transparent, cyan aura emerged from Dugu Hai’s body, silently and tracelessly merging into the great hall.
"This is the Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruit! It’s a tribute of the highest grade from the Gulondo World, food offered in sacrifice to Divine Spirits. It’s incredibly delicious; even Divine Spirits are very fond of this fruit."
"To a Divine Spirit, the Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruit is merely a rather tasty fruit. But for us mortals, aside from being delicious, it is an exceptionally rare treasure that can improve our Cultivation Talent. It can even enhance the Cultivation Talent of Spirit Saint-level powerhouses."
Zhu Yan smiled proudly. As he spoke, he plucked a Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruit, placed it in his mouth, bit into it, and closed his eyes to quietly savor its deliciousness.
’An Extraordinary Fruit that can improve the Cultivation Talent of a Spirit Saint powerhouse! This must be an Earth-level Upper Grade Treasure of Heaven and Earth. Zhu Chenyu, I’m so jealous! Why am I not the one beside Shu Feng!!’
Among the beautiful women of the Zhu Clan, countless gazes of envy and jealousy fell upon Zhu Chenyu. If it weren’t for Shu Feng, Zhu Chenyu would never have been able to enjoy such a precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
’The Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruit is a tribute to the gods! Damn it, I don’t even have the right to taste it!! Damn it!!’
Zhu Binglan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of jealousy and envy in them.
The Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruit was a divine tribute so rare it was priceless. Zhu Binglan had been born with a silver spoon, getting anything she wanted, yet even she had never enjoyed such a precious delicacy.
A flash of jealousy also crossed Zhu Xiaoxiao’s beautiful eyes. ’Damn it, all of this should have been mine!’
Shu Feng placed a Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruit into his mouth and bit down. Layer after layer of sweet, luscious juice burst forth, and seven distinct, delicious flavors spread through his mouth before transforming into a warm current that flowed into his limbs and throughout his body.
’It does seem to strengthen one’s Cultivation Talent a little, but my Cultivation Talent is too strong! This small enhancement doesn’t have much of an effect on me.’
Shu Feng then plucked two Crystal Seven-Colored Rainbow Fruits and handed them to Zhu Chenyu beside him, saying, "Chen Yu, have some more!"
