Capítulo 2108: Chapter 2106: Curse Tree

Maybe it’s also because I’m not one of the earliest Jiuli clansmen, so my rebellion against this matter is somewhat stronger. Later, I entered the Wei Hall, and afterward, my Divine Sense broke through to a certain realm, and eventually, I entered another place, which is the place you’re curious about. I thought I could seek justice from them, but…”

Feng Cheng paused here, shook his head, and said, “But I found myself to be as insignificant as an ant. Later, the task they assigned me was to guard this place and warned me not to let the Jiuli people know too much, or they could wipe out the Jiuli Clan in an instant.”

Bai Ruozhu felt her eyelid twitch, suspecting that the place Feng Cheng mentioned could be an Immortal Cultivating realm? Is that why he could live for over a hundred years yet still look like a young man?

“Didn’t you practice some Immortal Technique to keep yourself young? Could it be some immortal technique?” Bai Ruozhu hurriedly asked.

Feng Cheng gave a bitter smile, “I was cursed, that’s why I’ve always been like this.”

“What curse?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

Feng Cheng shook his head, “I can’t say, the curse includes not being able to speak of it, or I’ll suffer backlash.”

Bai Ruozhu wanted to ask more questions, but Feng Cheng closed his eyes. She thought he was just pretending to sleep because he didn’t want to say more, but after a careful look, she found he was indeed too tired and fell back asleep.

Actually, Feng Cheng didn’t mention the last character of his name because he didn’t want to bring it up again. Once he and his brother were the En Zezi of a country that got destroyed. His brother was granted the title of Marquis and kept in the Imperial Capital like a hostage, while he was hidden by the then Emperor, disguised as a Little Eunuch beside him, named Little Luzi. Though this Lu is not that Lu, and he didn’t become an actual eunuch, this past he was unwilling to recall.

Later, when asked, he just said his name was Feng Cheng and never mentioned his full name again.

These were words he planned never to utter in his lifetime. After all, saying them aloud was too incredible; he was over a hundred years old yet still had the appearance of his youth. Others would see him as a monster. But that woman didn’t look at him in fear or dread him; instead, she was curious to know more. Wasn’t she too brave?

Feng Cheng thought about it and soon fell asleep because his body needed rest to recover.

Bai Ruozhu thought about Feng Cheng’s words, feeling that today’s experience had almost overturned her worldview. But soon, she too closed her eyes, having felt too exhausted these past few days.

About two hours later, countless voices suddenly came from outside, accompanied by roaring, “Get out here! You all get out here!”

Bai Ru woke up suddenly, fully alert. This was the voice of the monster from just now. Wasn’t it severely injured by Feng Cheng? How did it recover so quickly? Moreover, it sounded especially angry, could it have become more powerful?

Feng Cheng opened his eyes too, somewhat helplessly saying, “That guy has recovered so fast; I used all my strength just to buy a little time to escape. We should find a way to leave here once my body gets a bit better. As long as we get out of this palace and stay far from here, it won’t be able to harm us.”

“How did it transfer the Jiuli people into the palace before?” Bai Ruozhu asked, puzzled.

“It should have used the energy accumulated over many years to transfer those people over, but now that energy is depleted, it shouldn’t be able to scheme against us anymore,” Feng Cheng said tiredly.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, feeling relieved. Although that monster outside was still roaring, she closed her eyes to rest and ignored it.

But soon she couldn’t sit still anymore; she wanted to check on the children in the Space. Feng Cheng seemed to see through her thoughts and said to her, “Go ahead; it’s not like I don’t know you have a little world.”

Bai Ruozhu gave him a glare, shifted her mind, and entered the Space, but soon found Feng Cheng had followed her inside.

This made her very frustrated; what was this situation? Anyone could enter her Space at will, just like having the main gate of your house well locked, but others could pass through walls and come and go as they pleased. How could that be comfortable? But seeing Feng Cheng’s pale face, she could only temporarily not argue with him.

Moreover, what could she argue about? Could she beat him?

Little Dengdeng saw her mother and happily ran over to her, saying, “Mom, you finally came. When can we go out? I’m tired of playing here; I want to visit Grandpa.”

“Behave, Dengdeng. We still can’t go out now. You take care of your brother here; Mom has encountered some troubles, and you can only go out when they are over,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Luckily, Dengdeng was an understanding child and didn’t fuss. Instead, he clenched his little fists and said, “When I grow up, I will protect you, Mom, and not let you get into trouble!”

Bai Ruozhu touched her son’s head, touched by his words. If the other two little ones were as well-behaved as Dengdeng, she would be satisfied, even without a daughter.

With Dengdeng as a brother, they would likely be sensible.

Suddenly, Dengdeng saw Feng Cheng beside them and asked, “Who is this person?”

Feng Cheng was startled, “How can you see me?”

Dengdeng wrinkled his little nose and said, “You’re standing right there. Why couldn’t I see you?”

Feng Cheng smiled, “I’m your mom’s friend.”

Bai Ruozhu was shocked to hear this. She knew Feng Cheng had used a method for others not to see him, yet Dengdeng still saw him. Evidently, Dengdeng had something different about him since childhood, perhaps those particularly clear eyes!

Dengdeng started chatting with Feng Cheng, while Bai Ruozhu went to prepare some grilled fish, used the ingredients in the Space to make some food, then shared it with them. Afterward, she went to look after Bengbeng and Tiaotiao and found that the Tutu had taken good care of them, so she rewarded it with a Red Fruit.

Tutu bowed to Bai Ruozhu and suddenly hopped towards the forest, looking back at Bai Ruozhu after a few jumps, as if saying, “Follow me.”

Bai Ruozhu, curious, followed, and Feng Cheng followed behind.

Soon they arrived at the forest, and Tutu jumped to a tree with black fruits. Bai Ruozhu was startled at the sight; the entire tree had turned black, not just the fruits but also the trunk and leaves.

Feng Cheng was taken aback, “Why is there a Curse Tree in your Space?” He suddenly seemed to understand, “You used the Curse Tree to absorb the black fog just now, didn’t you?”

“What is a Curse Tree?” Bai Ruozhu felt that she knew too little.

“Weren’t you cursed before? It’s because of it,” Feng Cheng pointed to the pitch-black Curse Tree, “I couldn’t find the reason before, but now I finally know.”

Bai Ruozhu felt even more puzzled. How could her Space cause her to be cursed?
