At the end of the narrow mountain crevice, that bright pair of eyes stared at herself.
Yu Shuangshuang felt a shiver down her spine.
In that moment, she dared not move.
That thing was looking at her as if waiting for her to enter and be consumed.
"Why haven’t you come in yet?"
At this time, the owner of the eyes suddenly made this sound.
It was a woman’s voice, sounding very young, yet the tone resembled that of an old crone, making it particularly strange.
Such characteristics truly resembled the rumored man-eating demon of the mountains.
"If you don’t come in, you’ll probably die," the creature inside continued.
At this time, Yu Shuangshuang came to her senses.
Did she have any way out?
She was severely injured now, and if she didn’t eat something, she would eventually die here.
Thinking of that handsome face, of those brilliant and awe-inspiring tactics that frightened people, Yu Shuangshuang instantly filled with resolve.
Yes, she couldn’t die!
She had to go in, she needed to live!
Even if there was a demon inside, if it dared to obstruct her from Young Hero Duan, she would even devour the demon!
Yu Shuangshuang’s eyes flashed with a hint of madness.
She took a step forward, crossing the last line of defense, and arrived behind the mountain crevice.
It was only then that she could clearly see that the owner of those eyes was a person.
A very indescribable person.
This person’s eyes were very young, bright and clear, like those of a newborn baby.
But her other features were old and wrinkled, with age spots amidst the wrinkles on her face, hiding countless years.
The old crone with those eyes looked at Yu Shuangshuang and said, "Someone has come! Someone has finally come to this place."
As she spoke, she tried to move closer, but it proved to be difficult.
Yu Shuangshuang then noticed that her legs had severely atrophied, almost reduced to mere bones.
At this moment, the fruity scent became even more intense.
Yu Shuangshuang, driven by her intense hunger, looked deeper into the cave.
There, there was a large tree.
The trunk was half embedded in the rock wall and half outside; branches wildly grew, lush with foliage.
Enduring intense bodily pain, she approached it.
"Go eat, go eat, it’s really delicious," the old crone said faintly.
That voice was very light, echoing in the space like a ghostly whisper.
Even without the strange old crone saying anything, she was going to eat.
Only by eating, could she survive.
But the moment she stepped under the shade of the tree, Yu Shuangshuang was still startled.
The branches indeed bore bright red fruits, and the intense fruity aroma was coming from them.
Why did these fruits look so much like people!
Yes, those red fruits looked just like little infants, with facial features, some with eyes open, some with eyes closed, some with smooth surfaces, and some full of wrinkles.
Standing there, Yu Shuangshuang felt like she had fallen into some ghastly realm.
"What are these exactly?" she couldn’t help but ask.
She reached out her hand, feeling like if she touched the fruit next to her, this "infant" would suddenly open its eyes and start crying.
"Immortal Fruits! These are Human Infant Immortal Fruits! They are really tasty."
The old crone spoke with a grin, giving off an insane, ill-intentioned vibe.
"Human Infant Immortal Fruits?"
As a fairy of the Red House, she had heard of Immortal Fruits.
The women in the Red House fervently practiced Cultivation techniques, mingling with men in cultivation practices, all to someday return to the heavens and sip Jadescent Nectar and eat nourishing Immortal Fruits.
But she had never heard of Human Infant Immortal Fruits before.
Looking at these fruits, they were truly horrifying.
"Eating them will save your life. I’ve been eating them for hundreds of years," the old crone said when she saw the hesitation.
"Hundreds of years?" Yu Shuangshuang exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, how could I have lived for hundreds of years without these fruits? I can’t even remember how old I am, but it’s at least five hundred years," the old crone, as if lost in memories, continued.
At this moment, Yu Shuangshuang felt even more eerie.
Over five hundred years, even the mighty figures of the clouds above, the Tower Masters of the Red House who had pursued Feitian and absorbed countless men’s vital essence, were known to be the longest-lived, but their lifespan was only up to two hundred sixty-three years.
In the Red House, fairies that couldn’t achieve Feitian would descend into hell.
It was the tribulation of the fairies, therefore the Cultivation techniques and foods in the house could prolong their lifespan.
The old crone nestled there, aside from her bright and striking eyes, her entire appearance was hideous, like a decayed old demon, but at this moment, recalling the past, Yu Shuangshuang felt her entire demeanor change.
It was as if she suddenly transformed into an unrivaled beauty, filled with enticing grace.
"This is the last Human Infant Fruit Tree on earth, it might be hard to produce new fruits after this, eat it and you’ll have a long lifespan," the old crone said.
"Why, why are you telling me all of this?" Yu Shuangshuang asked.
This was the last Human Infant Fruit Tree, this was the last Immortal Fruit, if she ate it, the other party would be left with none.
This was a simple truth.
"Because I’m about to die!"
"Though the Immortal Fruit is extraordinary, after all, this is the mortal world, more than five hundred years, this body has reached its limit," the old crone confessed.
Such words, in the perilous Martial World, Yu Shuangshuang would generally not believe.
But now, she really had no other choice.
And these fruits, horrific as blood infants, continued to emit a strong fruity aroma, tempting her.
Thus, she no longer hesitated and picked the first fruit.
This fruit had its eyes closed, its surface wrinkled, looking like an ugly old lady.
