The young man abruptly turned to look at the large willow tree before him, to see another branch pluck a milky-white fruit from somewhere within the canopy and extend it in front of him.
Qing Chen silently observed, somewhat astonished; the terrifying willow tree seemed to lift its leaves and twigs, pointing at his mouth as if a palm was motioning him to "please eat."
Truth be told, Qing Chen was truly puzzled. He instinctively felt that the tree wouldn't harm him upon approaching, but this gesture of offering food was indeed... surprising?
An entity that appeared extremely terrifying to others was inviting him to eat!
After pondering for a moment, Qing Chen chuckled, "If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't need to go through so much trouble, right?"
With that, he quickly devoured the fruit to the core.
The fruit didn't seem to differ much from an apple, but it tasted faintly of egg.
