Chapter 723 -438: Mutated Spirit Fruit

‘Speaking of which, what’s the deal with that Spirit Plant I planted not far from it? The one that just sprouted a while ago? It’s still just a little seedling. It’s growing so slowly!’

As Lin Li felt the new effects from the Spirit Fruit, he was happy, but he couldn’t help but grumble to himself about the other Spirit Plant on his Mysterious Small Island, which was still just a seedling.

The sun sank lower on the horizon, staining the sky a blood-red. A wide, dazzling wave of light shimmered across the river’s surface, stretching from the far-off waters all the way to the bank before him.

‘The sun’s going to set soon. I need to hurry back to the city.

Traveling at night after dark, especially through the wilderness, is not a pleasant experience.’

Lin Li muttered to himself. Then, with a thought, he summoned his black off-road motorcycle.

GRUMBLE…

He had just straddled the motorcycle when his stomach started to growl.

He had been busy all afternoon, and what he had eaten for lunch was long gone. Hunger was inevitable.

Lin Li retrieved a loaf of bread from the Mysterious Small Island, tore open the packaging, and quickly ate it. With something in his stomach to tide him over, he reached out and gripped the motorcycle’s handlebars.

VROOOM…

The engine roared to life. A figure in camouflage, helmet on, straddling an off-road motorcycle, sped recklessly across the wide plains of the North District Suburbs, advancing toward the human city dozens of kilometers away.

…

Shortly before sunset, the streetlights on both sides of the city flickered on.

Kaleidoscopic lights illuminated the road, making the street look as if it were inlaid with a string of colorful jewels.

Pedestrians bustled back and forth, bathed in the varied lights, looking as though they were all draped in beautiful, colorful garments.

In the city’s East District, a five-star hotel stood tall on the bank of the river that flowed through the metropolis. From the restaurant on the hotel’s top floor, one could take in most of the East District’s nightscape.

Across the street from the hotel was a bustling street lined with bars.

Every evening, men and women who had spent a long day working at their companies would meet up with a few friends here, pick a bar they liked, and unwind.

A taxi pulled over at the entrance to the bar street. The door opened, and two tall, beautiful women stepped out.

Wang Ling was 1.68 meters tall, with an oval face and shoulder-length hair. Her figure was well-proportioned, and she was dressed in a white T-shirt and denim shorts. She was very beautiful.

Had she been walking down the street alone, she would have undoubtedly turned many heads.

Unfortunately for her, there was a figure by her side today who was even more stunning, turning the usual star of the show into a supporting character. Wang Ling’s own radiance wasn’t quite as dazzling as it normally was.

“Is that the bar you mentioned for the get-together tonight?” asked Su Yue. With her sizzling figure and exquisitely beautiful face, she was captivating. She raised a slender finger, pointing toward a tastefully decorated bar in the distance.

A nearby passerby was about to sneak a photo of Su Yue with his phone, but Wang Ling caught him and shot him a fierce glare. After seeing him awkwardly put his phone away, she turned back to her oblivious friend. “Yep, that’s the one.”

“It’s not good to be late. Let’s hurry!” Su Yue said.

“Mm,” Wang Ling nodded. They then quickened their pace toward the distant bar named ‘Fate’.

Across the street, at the entrance to the five-star hotel, a tall, handsome man stood, his eyes fixed on Su Yue and Wang Ling’s retreating figures.

‘Su Yue, what is she doing here?’

“Zhang Xiaohao, what are you staring at? Let’s go, everyone’s waiting for us!” a refined-looking young man in gold-rimmed glasses called out to his best friend.

“It’s nothing.” Zhang Xiaohao watched Su Yue and Wang Ling enter the bar, making a mental note of it before turning back to the young man in glasses.

Then, the two of them entered the hotel and headed for the party on the top floor.
