Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

A white-clothed person stood quietly about four or five zhang in front of him, their face filled with anger!
Chu Yang's first reaction was: how strange, a swan has flown out from a flock of crows; even in the Black Blood Jungle, there is someone dressed in white.
I have to say, in this dark area of the Black Blood Jungle, that clothing looks exceptionally white, even a bit dazzling.
Chu Yang's second thought came: the distance between us is only five zhang! How did he appear here?
Even though divine thought was blocked in the Black Blood Jungle, it shouldn't be possible for someone to arrive five zhang away without him noticing!
His third thought was somewhat peculiar: is this person male or female? How old are they?
They stood five zhang in front of Chu Yang, but the figure seemed shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist, indistinct and elusive; he couldn't see their face, making it impossible to determine their gender.
In summary, this person seemed to lack any obvious male or female traits. Even their voice was almost androgynous.
As for their age, it was even harder to tell.
Then Chu Yang remembered the person's question: was this Scarlet Fruit Tree intentionally left by them??
This was a bit troublesome...
At that moment, Wei Wuyan arrived with Chu Le'er. Upon seeing the white-clothed person, he couldn't help but frown.
If their guesses were correct, how could this person still dare to come out and obstruct them? He thought: this bastard has dug up someone else's specially preserved Scarlet Fruit and removed it entirely; it's no wonder they're angry...
"Considering this is your first offense, I won't be too harsh. If you carefully replant the Scarlet Fruit Tree and bow three times, leaving something behind for me, I will let you go," the white-clothed person said淡淡地.
This statement immediately dispelled Chu Yang's thought that 'this white-clothed person is the overlord of the Black Blood Jungle.'
"Replanting it is not a problem, and bowing three times isn't an issue," Chu Yang chuckled: "But what should I leave behind?"
The white-clothed person seemed to frown slightly, remaining unyielding: "Just leave behind a hand and a foot, and that will do."
"That sounds even easier," Chu Yang said with a smile, laughing heartily: "However, what evidence do you have to prove that this Scarlet Fruit Tree is yours? If you can prove it, I will bow three times and chop off an arm."
The white-clothed person, slightly angered, said: "This Scarlet Fruit Tree has been in such a conspicuous location for thousands of years without anyone daring to touch it. Doesn't that prove ownership?"
"Far from it!" Chu Yang shook his head: "You say the Scarlet Fruit Tree is yours, can it respond to your call? If it does respond, I will immediately replant it and bow three times, chopping off an arm."
Chu Yang looked at him with a half-smile; he had already seen this Scarlet Fruit Tree was definitely not this person's. Although he pretended to be angry, when he mentioned the tree, there was no hint of heartache!
Such a heaven and earth rare treasure, being preserved by him for thousands of years, would he remain so calm now that it was snatched away? Anyone else would have been furious!
But the white-clothed person was not. In fact, before he spoke, he didn’t even glance at the tree pit.
Hearing Chu Yang’s words, the white-clothed person slowly turned his head, staring at the now empty tree pit, watching as a few roots oozed sap. An aura of anger emanated from him.
Now there were only roots left; the Scarlet Fruit Tree had already been taken away by you.
Even if I could summon it, it would still be here, right? Besides... who could get it to respond if it were just this tiny tree?
The white-clothed person slowly turned his head and looked at Chu Yang: "Good scheme!"
Chu Yang chuckled: "Same to you."
"But you played word games in front of me, and you have mistaken the person!"
With a swish, the white-clothed person was already above his head. This movement was incredibly quick; the white cloth fluttered as it rose, unfolding in the dark sky like a celestial white crane soaring into the sky!
