Chapter 803: Stealing The Forbidden Fruit.
Xiao Luo couldn’t help but compare this country and how it could possibly work with the Journey to the West. Although he was walking in the streets, his identity as a male had not been exposed. There were just too many women who dressed and looked like men wandering in the streets.
“I would have thought she was a man if I hadn’t seen that she didn’t have a long beard. Look at her armpit hair, it’s almost the same length as her hair.”
When the Duck Emperor saw a tough woman passing by in the street, he couldn’t help but complain. “I can smell her body odor even from a distance. It’s disgusting, just disgusting. Come, little girl. Let me smell you to nullify the rancid smell.”
He then plunged into Gui’s pocket and smelled her scent, feeling much better.
“En, it smells bad!” Gui couldn’t help but pinch her nose.
Xiao Luo was no exception as he also felt the stench to be unbearable. He quickly went in the opposite direction of the woman’s path.
After walking about a hundred meters, they came to a pond full of lotus leaves and flowers.
“You stay here, and I’ll go up to locate the Teleportation Array.” Xiao Luo said.
“Do you still need to look? It’s probably in the palace.” The Duck Emperor said.
Xiao Luo didn’t speak, he merely gave the Duck Emperor a look. He then disappeared into the clouds several hundred meters above. At this height, as he looked down at Moon Worship Country, the pedestrians were like ants. To his surprise, he couldn’t see the border of the Moon Worship Country.
“I didn’t expect a country full of women to own such a vast area.”
Xiao Luo whispered in his heart. He looked at the center of the territory and saw a palace similar to the Forbidden City. It had exceptionally bright golden glass tiles, pavilions, pools and waterside pavilions. Man-made landscapes and rocks, vines and bamboo.
However, even after looking in the air for a long time, he still found no trace of the Teleportation Array!
There were only two possibilities that could explain this; First, it was hidden by Moon Worship Country. Second, his field of vision was obstructed by something and the Teleportation Array would be right behind that obstruction. It seemed that this searching method was not working, they would have to ask the locals.
With this thought in mind, he quickly descended back to the ground.
When he reached the ground, he found Gui and the Duck Emperor eating unknown fruits. They looked like apples, but their color was like cherries, looking very appetizing.
“What are you eating?”
XiaoLuo frowned. They didn’t even know what they were putting in their mouth, were they not afraid of being poisoned?
“Fruit.”
Gui said, “Handsome Luoluo, want some? It’s delicious.”
“Where did it come from?” Xiao Luo’s expression turned dark.
“Little Duck picked it from the tree over there.” Gui then pointed to a tree by the pond.
Xiao Luo looked over, there were indeed many fruits on the tree that were exactly the same as those being eaten by Gui and Duck Emperor.
“Why are you eating something unknown so casually? Throw it away!”
He stepped forward and took the leftover fruit in Gui’s hand. He also stared at the Duck Emperor, saying, “Yours too.”
“No, I’ll eat mine.” The Duck Emperor quickly put the rest in his mouth and swallowed it.
“Do you know what the fruit is? If you get poisoned, can you take care of yourself?” Xiao Luo was slightly angry.
“I just asked, this fruit is not poisonous and can be eaten.”
The Duck Emperor argued, “Also can’t you smell the faint scent in the air? It is from these fruits and they taste even better. I have already eaten three.”
“Did you really ask?” Xiao Luo doubted.
“Of course,” The Duck Emperor continued, “Gui asked. They told her that although it was forbidden, it is edible. If we didn’t ask, we wouldn’t have eaten them.”
Forbidden fruit?
Xiao Luo was shocked. Was this the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden in the Bible? The consequences of stealing the forbidden fruit were extremely serious. They were called forbidden for a reason! What else could their name mean?!
“Handsome Luoluo, are we going to be okay?” Seeing that Xiao Luo looked solemn, Gui couldn’t help feeling worried.
“What’s wrong with eating a few fruits? We can easily suppress it even if they are poisonous. Little girl, you can relax.” The Duck Emperor didn’t care at all. In fact, he wanted to eat more. The fruit was very delicious, levels above any fruit he had ever eaten before.
“You know nothing!”
Xiao Luo scolded, “Isn’t there a market? There are many who are selling fruits! More importantly, these fruits are forbidden. If it were as delicious as you said, then why do you think none of the vendors sell it and it is not a commodity?”
The Duck Emperor was a little nervous, but he was still stubborn, “Maybe… Maybe there are too many forbidden fruits, the ones on the market are rotted and they have yet to restocked. Look, there are more than a dozen forbidden fruit trees near this pond. The output is quite rich…”
“I hope so.” Xiao Luo coldly harrumphed.
“Handsome Luoluo, this forbidden fruit is not poisonous, is it?” Gui was now very worried.
“It’s not a question of whether it’s poisonous or not. I suspect that the way for women in this country to produce offspring is to eat the forbidden fruit.” Xiao Luo said.
Huh?
As soon as he said this, Gui and the Duck Emperor’s hearts skipped a beat.
“Gai~ boy, stop trying to scare me. You said that they would get pregnant by drinking water from the spring (actually a river, just called it spring as a name), not eating fruit.” Duck Emperor rebuked.
“I only said that there ‘may‘ be such a body of water, I didn’t say that it’s a fact. Likewise, I also can’t say whether eating the forbidden fruit is indeed the way for the women here to get pregnant. I am stating possibilities!” Xiao Luo said.
[Cackle~]
As if he got struck by lightning, the Duck Emperor sat on the ground and his eyes widened in horror. Yes, why didn’t he think of it? Although he was from the chaotic space, he was fully aware about the things on earth. How could he not realize the meaning of the forbidden fruit? This forbidden fruit could really be the fruit that turned people pregnant here…
“Gai~, why did I give into temptation?” The Duck Emperor secretly admonished himself.
“Does being pregnant mean that I will have a baby?” Gui asked Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo nodded, “Hmm.”
“No, no, I don’t want to have a baby. It hurts to have a baby.”
Gui panicked. She had seen people giving birth when she was in the dark castle. It was a painful process. She wouldn’t be able to bear such pain.
Xiao Luo didn’t speak, he only hoped that his guess was wrong and that this forbidden fruit was just an ordinary fruit.
But alas, wishes were beautiful; reality was cruel.
The Duck Emperor, who, moments ago, had enjoyed the most forbidden fruits suddenly felt something…
“It hurts… my stomach hurts … my stomach hurts.” The Duck Emperor started to roll on the ground.
“Me too, my stomach is hurting.”
Gui also followed as she felt a spasm in her abdomen.
I ~! @#¥%……
Xiao Luo couldn’t help but curse.
