It was one last explosion that rocked the area.
They had planned on using that explosion to destroy the Divine Blood Fruit since they didn’t want anyone to take it if they couldn’t take it, but in the end…they weren’t able to do a single thing to the Divine Blood Fruit.
That was because there was a barrier that appeared in front of the Divine Blood Fruit.
Looking at it closely, it seemed to be a layer of wraiths that appeared around the Divine Blood Fruit that blocked the explosion.
Lin Fan wasn’t surprised since before they blew themselves up, he had said, “I need your help to block that explosion.”
Ye Qing Huan hadn’t asked any questions and she didn’t hesitate as she raised her hand to create that barrier of wraiths around the Divine Blood Fruit.
With that barrier, the flames of the explosion were completely scattered and there wasn’t a single mark on the Divine Blood Fruit. At the same time, most of the spirit beasts that Lin Fan controlled through Greeny had been able to escape unharmed.
After the explosion settled, the spirit beasts came back to surround the Divine Blood Fruit even though there wasn’t a need for that.
After all, everyone who could have fought for the Divine Blood Fruit was already dead.
It was a complete slaughter on the part of the spirit beasts, but not a single one of them went for the Divine Blood Fruit.
They just stood around it as if they were protecting it.
Neither Lin Fan or Ye Qing Huan moved either even though everyone that had been on this hill was now dead. The two of them just remained in their hiding spot, watching over the Divine Blood Fruit.
Neither of them seemed like they were planning on taking it for themselves.
It wasn’t because they were giving each other the opportunity to take this Divine Blood Fruit, it was because the Divine Blood Fruit hadn’t ripened yet and it wasn’t the time to take it yet.
Even if they went down, it wasn’t as if there was anything that they would be able to do since the Divine Blood Fruit just wasn’t ready.
If they went down, all they would be doing is standing there and waiting for the Divine Blood Fruit to finish ripening.
There was no telling what would happen, so waiting down by the Divine Blood Fruit was the worst thing that they could do. It was much better to remain in hiding so they would be able to react to anything that happened.
At the same time, there was a wave of spirit beasts that were guarding the area.
If anyone were to come here, they would have to face these spirit beasts that Lin Fan had surrounding the Divine Blood Fruit.
With his control over them, they would be able to exert power that was beyond what they would have had at their current cultivation level. They would even be able to use formations in a way that would increase their overall power by over twofold.
That was why it wasn’t a problem for these spirit beasts to protect the Divine Blood Fruit.
Before the Divine Blood Fruit ripened, the two of them just stood there in the tree in silence watching over the spirit beasts that were guarding the Divine Blood Fruit.
This would have been the time for Ye Qing Huan to ask questions, but she didn’t say a thing.
Lin Fan didn’t show it on his face, but he was certainly surprised that she didn’t say a single thing. He had been certain that she would ask him questions about what had happened just now.
After all, the scene where all those spirit beasts appeared would be shocking to anyone, even to someone like Ye Qing Huan.
So it wasn’t as if she wouldn’t have a single question for him.
But it turned out that Ye Qing Huan trusted him quite a bit as she didn’t say a single thing the entire time. The way that she stood there was almost as if she was some kind of statue.
Lin Fan didn’t know why, but there was this strange warm feeling that filled his heart when he saw her like this…
As for the Divine Blood Fruit, there was nothing that happened.
There were a few people that wandered in to see if they could test their luck with the Divine Blood Fruit.
All that they received was the attacks of the spirit beasts that were wandering around the area. The moment that they were caught by the spirit beasts, there was a rain of attacks that fell down on them that immediately chased them away.
They just couldn’t get a single step closer to the Divine Blood Fruit.
If they weren’t careful, they might even lose their lives.
So of course they didn’t dare push the issue and ran when they saw all of the spirit beasts that were around the hill that the Divine Blood Fruit was on.
After around half a day, the Divine Blood Fruit finally bloomed.
The moment that it bloomed, there was a sudden burst of spiritual energy that filled the air. This was the spiritual energy that was being released by the ripening of the Divine Blood Fruit.
It was an intense burst of spiritual energy, but it was a good thing that this burst of spiritual energy didn’t spread. It seemed like it was only concentrated in one area with how it filled the air around the Divine Blood Fruit.
So it didn’t spread far enough to attract other spirit beasts.
Otherwise, with the spirit beasts that were around it, it might have been hard to keep them all away.
After the Divine Blood Fruit bloomed, there were two figures that suddenly landed by the Divine Blood Fruit that finished ripening. However, neither of these two figures made a move towards the Divine Blood Fruit in between them.
The way that they stood there, it was as if they were both waiting for the other person to take it.
Lin Fan was confused why Ye Qing Huan looked this way.
After all, it was the Heavenly Demon Sect that was behind her that gave him the mission to obtain this Divine Blood Fruit in the first place. So it should only be right that she took this Divine Blood Fruit.
But it didn’t seem like she had any intentions of doing so and even wanted him to take it.
There was a long silence that lingered in the air until Ye Qing Huan finally said, “Why aren’t you taking it?”
Lin Fan raised a brow as he looked at Ye Qing Huan before saying, “Shouldn’t I be asking you this? This Divine Blood Fruit will be going to the Heavenly Demon Sect, so shouldn’t you be the one to take it?”
Ye Qing Huan revealed a faint smile when she heard this before saying, “It might be going to the Heavenly Demon Sect, but it’s going to come to me in the end.”
Lin Fan looked even more confused when he heard her saying this.
He had already guessed that this would be the case, but he didn’t understand why she was saying it like this. After all, this didn’t seem to have any weight on what was happening here, it was only natural she would take the Divine Blood Fruit.
Ye Qing Huan could see the confused look on Lin Fan’s face, so she said, “Since it’s mine, that means that I can do whatever I want with it.”
She gestured to Lin Fan before saying, “That means that if I want, I can give it to whoever I want. This means that this Divine Blood Fruit is yours, not mine.”
Lin Fan’s chin dropped when he heard this before he quickly forced himself to calm down. He carefully looked at Ye Qing Huan to see what she meant by this because he didn’t believe that she was being serious.
Lin Fan couldn’t help wondering if this was some kind of test that Ye Qing Huan or even the Heavenly Demon Sect was giving him.
However, Ye Qing Huan just kept her hand out as if she was gesturing to him, all while looking like she was waiting for him to take the Divine Blood Fruit.
Lin Fan really didn’t know what to do in this situation.
No, there was one thing that he knew that he couldn’t do no matter what…
He just could not take this Divine Blood Fruit.
If he took this Divine Blood Fruit that the Five Great Sects were fighting over, there was no doubt that he would become the number one target. There was no doubt that the moment that the Divine Blood Fruit ended up in his hands, he would be the one that everyone wanted to kill.
So this Divine Blood Fruit was a hot potato that he couldn’t take no matter what.
As he stood there like he was completely frozen by the choice that was presented to him, Ye Qing Huan slowly put her hand down. It seemed like she was getting tired of waiting for him to come to a decision…
It seemed like Ye Qing Huan was about to make a decision for him.
All of a sudden, Ye Qing Huan took a step forward and grabbed the Divine Blood Fruit that was in front of her.
Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief when he saw her take this, but then…
“Mmph.” Lin Fan’s mouth was suddenly stuffed by something.
It was the Divine Blood Fruit!
