Chapter 277: Chapter 36 – Roaming the Universe_2 Chapter 277: Chapter 36 – Roaming the Universe_2 When Zhu Weiran made a move, it was as effortless as using a cleaver to cut through butter, dispatching his targets with ease. However, he was not a killer from the Heavenly Judges, thus his successful actions would neither get listed nor awarded by the Heavenly Judges. What’s more, there was no clue to trace the murderer, which led to many case files left unresolved.

The trio and a cat hurriedly made their way back to Yuezhou, moving as if they were swept up in a gust of wind.

On the eve of reaching Yuezhou City, after absorbing and digesting experiences along the way, Feng Ying finally met the conditions for the seventh Spirit Gathering. Feng Yin naturally took action at the first opportunity to perform the process for Feng Ying.

The little creature seemed to undergo the same changes as before, losing more fur again without any noticeable other changes.

However, Feng Yin could feel that his spiritual connection with the creature was becoming tighter.

When they reached the outskirts of the city, under the puzzled gaze of Zhu Weiran and his wife, Feng Yin once again visited the small pine tree.

The fact is that the small pine tree was no longer small after last time.

When Zhu Weiran looked at it, he couldn’t help but exclaim: “What a big pine tree!”

The pine tree now presented itself as large as a tree that required several people to embrace it, subtly hinting at its age of at least ten thousand years. It stood tall and straight, its crown casting a shadow over several miles.

It stood on the slope of the mountain, soaring high and proud like a giant umbrella.

Every needle on the tree was a deep green, hard and sharp enough to easily pierce human skin.

Upon Feng Yin’s arrival, the pine tree was so excited it could have started dancing.

For the new sentient being, not seeing Feng Yin for several months seemed like ages.

Feng Yin quickly stopped the tree’s thoughtless behavior. Then he lightly stroked it and quietly completed another Spirit Gathering.

The pine tree, full of admiration, revealed a thin root with soft hairs and gently coiled it around Feng Yin’s leg and arm.

Then Feng Yin began to communicate with the pine tree, asking if anything unusual had happened recently.

The pine tree was excited to communicate with Feng Yin and was chattering on and on with enthusiasm.

Even if a couple of mice came by and had a fight under the tree, it would report it to Feng Yin in detail.

Feng Yin listened patiently and carefully from beginning to end.

He was perfectly aware that the people from Supreme Mountain were in Yuezhou guarding his ‘gentle’ identity.

They surely must be protecting Liu Mengjiang; therefore… as the bait, Liu Mengjiang would surely be active, creating opportunities for himself to be killed, while presenting opportunities for people from Supreme Mountain to capture him.

As expected.

Amid the aimless chatter of the pine tree, a bearded man had appeared alone at least five times.

With each visit, the man mumbled to himself, “Hmm, I can’t believe there’s such a big pine tree so close to Yuezhou City. Just based on its age, it’s almost ten thousand years old, right? If it were any rarer species of tree, it wouldn’t have survived until now, even in this secluded place!”

“I haven’t been able to move around freely in Yuezhou for a long time. Ever since I was listed on the Gold Rank of the Heavenly Judgment’s mission list, I’ve been on the lookout for assassins. It has been a while since I’ve felt this at ease!”

“That ‘Gentleman’ still hasn’t shown up. He must have smelled something fishy. Even if he initially intended to eliminate the three Gold Rank targets near Yuezhou, he probably dare not take action now.”

“Huh, as Liu Mengjiang, I’ve discovered a ginseng here! Although it’s ordinary, this trip has been worthwhile. I’m in luck!”

“Today, Liu Mengjiang is going to pee here to mark that I’ve visited this place. This place seldom sees people, maybe I am the first one to leave a mark.”

“…”

The man’s babbling became more and more convoluted, like introducing himself to flowers, insects, and rodents as if he were a fool.

Even the pine tree commented, ‘He’s like a simpleton.’

But Feng Yin felt both a little tense and amusing after hearing all these things.

Liu Mengjiang’s so-called self-talk was clearly intended for ‘Gentleman’ whom he assumed was listening. His only purpose was: I am Liu Mengjiang, I am a Gold Rank target, come kill me, you’ve already identified me as your next target, I am defenseless now, it’s your big chance!

“This Liu Mengjiang is clearly asking for death!”

Feng Yin’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

“He fully deserves death for his actions. Now, he’s even collaborating with the enemy.”

Playing with the clean segment of the pine tree root in his hand, letting it twirl and twist, Feng Yin felt a strong desire to kill.

He deeply felt that it might be better to get rid of Liu Mengjiang…

This person was just too disgusting.

Feng Ying curled up in Feng Yin’s arms, its little tail sweeping back and forth, and its tiny belly plump and round. Lazily squinting its eyes, it let out a purring sound from its belly.

After completing the latest Spirit Gathering, Feng Ying devoured more than seventy pounds of centipede meat in one go.

Beginning with three to five pounds, it then indiscriminately ate, not leaving behind even the half-cooked meat, probably due to extreme hunger. The speed of barbecuing simply couldn’t keep up.
