Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Otherwise, the first hurdle Luo Qianqiu wouldn't be able to overcome is his own conscience.

To outsiders, he might not have known how precious the fruit was, which is why he didn't leave two for Lin Jia.

But while outsiders are easy to fool, you can't fool your own heart.

Luo Qianqiu didn't want to deceive even herself; she only wanted to act according to her own heart.

Just then, Ye Fan laughed heartily twice, personally reached out and picked a fruit from the tree, handed it to Luo Qianqiu, and said, "There are three of us here, and thirteen fruits. Each of us gets four, and there's one left over. Brother Luo, take five."

"That makes sense. If Brother Luo hadn't invited me and Ye Fan, we wouldn't have gotten these fruits. You should have taken five," Pang Bo chimed in.

Neither of them realized the preciousness of the sacred fruit at that moment. In their eyes, it was just a slightly tastier fruit, and it didn't matter who had one more.

Luo Qianqiu didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and took the fruit, looking at the two of them and saying, "Thank you."

After saying that, he put the sacred fruit into his mouth, and the rich aroma rushed straight to his internal organs.

Soon, the thirteen fruits were divided up. Ye Fan and Pang Bo ate four, Luo Qianqiu ate three, and two were left for Lin Jia.

After finishing the fruit, Pang Bo looked at the divine spring and said, "Strange, these spring waters also have a fragrance."

As he spoke, he scooped up some spring water and took a sip. Then his eyes lit up, and he pointed at the spring water, saying, "It's delicious! It's so much better than mineral water on Earth!"

Watching from the side, Luo Qianqiu couldn't help but feel a little envious of Pang Bo. He didn't know where he was, so he was fearless and acted without any scruples.

Unlike him, the more he knew, the more constrained he became, fearing that overstepping his bounds would displease the master of this place and lead to his casual elimination.

Since seeing the sacred fruit and the divine spring, he never took the initiative to act; he always waited for Ye Fan to make a move before joining in.

Pang Bo, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. He was the first to pick the sacred fruit and the first to drink from the divine spring, yet nothing happened to him.

At this moment, Luo Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he was worrying too much. A small fry like him would probably be too much trouble for even the most ruthless people to care about.

As for the divine spring and sacred fruit, they might be rare treasures in the outside world, but to this ruthless person, they are not considered anything extraordinary.

After all, this rich woman had even directly rejected the pursuit of the White Tiger Divine Medicine, let alone the fruit produced by the branch of the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine.

After figuring it out, Luo Qianqiu felt a sense of relief, as if he had been freed from many shackles.

He squatted by the spring, imitating Pang Bo, cupped the spring water in his hands, and drank it in large gulps.

As he drank, he said, "Mmm, delicious, sweet."

I drank several large gulps until my stomach felt a little bloated before I stopped. Then I took out several bottles of mineral water from my bag, poured them all out, and filled them with more water before putting them back in my bag.

Luo Qianqiu felt extremely refreshed, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.

He no longer sought enemies in the void, suppressed himself, and did things he thought were clever but were actually useless.

The three sat by the spring for a while, then got up and left. After circling the mountaintop again, they returned to the rendezvous point by the same route.

As Luo Qianqiu approached, the rich aroma emanating from the fruit in his pocket attracted everyone's attention, and many people couldn't help but swallow.

Everyone was in a similar situation. They ate some bread in the bronze coffin, but it was no use at all. They were already starving.

"Ye Fan, did you find something to eat? Hurry up and share it with everyone, we're all starving." Among Liu Yunzhi's group, a man named Li Changqing stepped forward and said.

These words were spoken so naturally that there was no sense of anything amiss.

Luo Qianqiu merely glanced at him, ignoring him, and took out a sacred fruit from his pocket, handing it to Lin Jia, saying, "This fruit is delicious, fill your stomach."

All eyes were on the fruit, and many who were so hungry that their stomachs growled loudly.

"The vegetation here is lush. If you want to eat, you can find it yourselves. I only have two here, enough for one person only," Luo Qianqiu said to everyone.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and they didn't dare to ask for one.

The only exception was Liu Yunzhi's group. Even though Luo Qianqiu said that, a woman still came over and said, "Lin Jia, I'm so hungry I can't stand it anymore. Could you share a fruit with me? Don't worry, I'll return it to you if I find one later."

"Wang Yan, you're shameless! You know perfectly well that others don't have enough, yet you still shamelessly ask for more." Pang Bo used beautiful words to launch a direct attack.

"What's it to you? Wang Yan didn't ask you for it. Are you some kind of world police?" Li Changqing retorted.

"I'll do it!" Pang Bo was a little annoyed and was about to rush up and teach Li Changqing a lesson.

However, he had only taken two steps when Luo Qianqiu stopped him.

"Brother Pang, I'll handle this myself."

Luo Qianqiu's eyes turned cold, and wisps of blood appeared at the edges of his pupils, giving him a terrifying and ferocious look.

He glanced at Wang Yan, then looked at Li Changqing. His cold gaze sent a chill down their spines.

"I said, if you want food, go find it yourself. Are you deaf?" Luo Qianqiu said calmly, looking at the two of them, and continued, "Or do you think I'm easy to bully and are planning to take it by force?"

"How can you be like this? It's just a piece of fruit. If you don't want to give it to me, you don't have to say such nasty things. We're classmates, after all," Wang Yan complained, sounding very aggrieved.

"Ha!" Luo Qianqiu scoffed, his gaze filled with disdain, as if looking at a pile of garbage, and stared directly at Wang Yan, saying, "Get lost! You have bad breath, it's bothering me."

Wang Yan's face flushed red. How could she bear such humiliation? She reached out to hit Luo Qianqiu.

However, she was too slow. Luo Qianqiu simply turned slightly to the side and dodged her, then stretched out a foot to trip her.

With a "thud," Wang Yan fell face-first to the ground.

Several women screamed and covered their eyes, terrified by what they saw.

"what!"

A scream rang out, and Wang Yan curled up on the ground, her face contorted in agony.

"How could you hit someone!" Li Changqing angrily stepped forward and questioned.

But what awaited him was a large hand that slapped him across the face before he could react.

"Snapped!"

The slap was so powerful that it sent Li Changqing flying more than a meter away, his feet leaving the ground before he crashed to the ground.

Li Changqing's face swelled up at a visible speed, his mouth was broken and bleeding, and he was unable to stand up for a moment.

The scene was extremely quiet. No one expected that things would develop like this because of the two fruits.

Liu Yunzhi's face was gloomy. Now everyone knew that Li Changqing and Wang Yan were his henchmen. What difference was there between Luo Qianqiu hitting the two of them and hitting him in the face?

He clenched his fists, wanting to step forward and demand justice, but as soon as he thought of Luo Qianqiu's fighting prowess on Mars, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he couldn't take a single step.

In the end, Liu Yunzhi forcibly suppressed his anger, helped Wang Yan and Li Changqing up, and prepared to take revenge on them another time.

"I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I won't hold back." Luo Qianqiu left with these words and took Lin Jia's hand and left.

"Brother Luo, wait a minute, let's go together."

Ye Fan and Pang Bo broke away from the crowd and caught up with Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia, along with Liu Yiyi, Zhang Ziling, Zhang Wenchang, and Qin Ya.

After exchanging glances, the remaining people all chose to follow, leaving only Liu Yunzhi, Li Changqing, and Wang Yan in place.

Everyone had witnessed the actions of the three men along the way, and no one wanted to travel with them any longer, fearing that they might be sold out at any time.

Given the conflict, Liu Yunzhi and his two companions could no longer follow the main group, so they chose to leave in another direction.

Luo Qianqiu glanced back, then looked away and led the group down the mountain.

While gazing out just now, he had already found the general direction with his extraordinary eyesight. As long as he followed that path, he would probably leave the desolate forbidden land in no time.

As for Liu Yunzhi and the other two, he did not continue to attack, but left the rest to the Great Accomplished Holy Body Divine Thought.

This evil spirit desperately needs manpower. If he kills three people, there's no guarantee that the other party won't turn their attention to others, which would only increase the uncertainty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left those three poisonous snakes behind.
