Lu Yuan was somewhat puzzled.
The divine diagram provides another explanation:
"This fruit must be eaten immediately once it is picked."
"Otherwise, it will rot in an hour."
Oh, I see. Luckily there were only two; any more would have been a waste.
Lu Yuan felt a surge of relief.
Two Enlightenment Fruits, one for Gong Yuehan and one for herself.
Not a single bit is wasted.
"Yuehan, this is an Enlightenment Fruit. Eat one quickly, then rest and meditate."
Gong Yuehan was taken aback:
"Enlightenment? Really?"
Gong Yuehan was somewhat skeptical.
Enlightenment is something profound and mysterious; how could it possibly be achieved with just this one fruit?
"Fine, you still don't believe me?"
"Believe it or not..."
Lu Yuan sized up Gong Yuehan with lecherous eyes.
The latter quickly took a step back.
"No, I just did that, I need to rest! It hurts!"
Actually, Lu Yuan was just joking.
He handed one of the spiritual fruits to Gong Yuehan, and then Lu Yuan began to eat it.
The Enlightenment Fruit has a soft and crumbly texture, like biting into a tomato.
However, it tastes much better than tomatoes.
Lu Yuan finished it in just a few bites. It was so delicious that he even licked his fingers.
"Master, start meditating after you finish eating."
"You just need to close your eyes and calm your mind; the Enlightenment Fruit will guide you in the right direction."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, and sat on the ground with his eyes closed.
On the other side, in Ping'an County.
It was already 2 PM, and the battle was long over.
Ah Chou devoured the other two zombie commanders and undoubtedly advanced.
The group returned to their previous residence.
Lin Feng gently nudged Zhao Qiang:
"Qiangzi, do you think Lao Lu hasn't come back yet? Did he take Gong Yuehan out to hunt in the wild?"
Zhao Qiang's face darkened:
"You're crazy, don't talk nonsense. Brother Yuan must have gone out on something."
Lin Feng scoffed.
He gave Zhao Qiang the middle finger in return.
So the two changed the subject and started chatting.
Two more hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was getting dark.
Standing by the window in one of the rooms, Luo Qingguo kept looking outside.
This was probably the umpteenth time she had looked outside.
"Sis, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Did he really go to jungle?"
Previously, Lin Feng's words to Zhao Qiang were overheard by Luo Qingguo, and he learned the word as well.
"Jungling? What does that mean?"
"A game?"
Luo Qingguo naturally knew that his sister didn't understand these things, so he leaned close to Luo Qingcheng's ear and began to explain them to her.
As Luo Qingcheng listened, something felt off.
Her face immediately turned red.
"You brat, you don't even study properly, and you're always up to no good."
"Where did you learn these lewd and inappropriate words?"
How do you know they were out doing... you know?
"You didn't see it, so you can't talk nonsense."
Luo Qingcheng wasn't as bold as Luo Qingguo; she simply couldn't bring herself to say those words.
Luo Qingguo pouted:
"Sis, I'm not making this up."
“This kind of thing has happened all the time, especially now that it’s the apocalypse. Otherwise, how do you explain why they haven’t come back yet?”
Luo Qingcheng was still a little skeptical:
"Perhaps they have encountered some tricky problems, and it is possible that they will not be able to come back for a while."
Luo Qingguo refuted again:
“I don’t think so. If it’s really difficult or dangerous, they should take us with them to help.”
“Look at him, he only brought Gong Yuehan with him, that’s clearly intentional.”
"In my opinion, this is almost certainly true."
Luo Qingcheng was somewhat convinced by her sister's words.
After all, they were alone together outside, and it was obvious that Gong Yuehan had feelings for Lu Yuan.
Perhaps the two of them really might...
"As long as the two people are in love, there's nothing wrong with such a thing, right?"
Luo Qingguo was somewhat disappointed in him at this moment.
"Sis, of course something's wrong."
"Think about it, he's so powerful. If you were to follow him and become his woman..."
"You're sure to rise to prominence in the future, and even if you get involved with me, it'll still be worth it."
Luo Qingcheng looked at her younger sister with a strange expression.
Others may not understand Luo Qingguo, but Luo Qingcheng definitely does, which is largely due to the fact that the two are twins.
Luo Qingguo's problem lies in her mouth; she easily offends people.
Actually, she has a very kind heart; she's the kind of person people often describe as having a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
She cried for days after one of her family's cats died.
Before it died, I kept saying I'd kill it and stew it for meat, but when it actually died, I cried more heartbrokenly than anyone else.
"Qingguo, I have a feeling that it's you who wants to..."
Faced with Luo Qingcheng's teasing, Luo Qingguo readily admitted it.
"So what? It's the end of the world now, and almost all good men are dead."
"Look at the Tai'an area, every guy with a little bit of ability has several beautiful women by his side."
"Even that fat pig from the Axe Gang has women on both sides."
"Sis, should I create an opportunity for you first?"
Luo Qingguo used the word "first" here, which shows that he did indeed have this idea in his mind.
Perhaps not before, but after Lu Yuan defeated so many opponents and took first place on the power ranking, her mind started to wander.
Beautiful women love heroes; this is an eternal truth!
Luo Qingguo had this idea, but it didn't seem strange to him!
Meanwhile, in the secret realm, Lu Yuan was still sitting with his eyes closed.
Lu Yuan waited foolishly for the guidance of the Enlightenment Fruit.
In a daze, I almost fell asleep when a green dragon suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
A loud dragon roar startled him, but what surprised him even more was that someone was chasing after him.
He held a large knife in his hand, which, apart from being a different color, was exactly the same shape as the knife that Zizi had before.
Both the man and the dragon were injured, indicating that they had been fighting for a long time.
"You beast, where do you think you're going!"
"Azure Dragon Blade Technique - Azure Dragon One-Slash Slash!"
In an instant, the phantom of the greatsword in the mysterious man's hand grew more than ten feet longer.
With overwhelming momentum, it slashed fiercely at the giant dragon.
With a "thud," the Azure Dragon in the sky had its head chopped off.
The dragon's body, which was tens of meters long, and its enormous head fell to the ground.
A phantom image of a blue dragon rose into the air once more, preparing to fly away into the distance.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
"Today, I will extract your dragon soul to forge my divine blade."
The mysterious man made a grabbing motion in the air, and the illusory azure dragon that was just about to escape was caught in his hand.
He muttered incantations and then slammed the illusory image of the Azure Dragon directly at the battle blade in his hand.
The sword trembled incessantly, gradually calming down after a while, and the blade began to turn bluish-green.
After finishing everything, the mysterious man glanced in Lu Yuan's direction.
