You, a dragon, are farming in hell.

Chapter 58 I Saw One of Lord Diding's Eyes

Diding had been observing Sophia. Seeing that the little brat's hands and legs were trembling, he casually picked a white fruit from the demon fruit tree and handed it to Sophia. "Little brat, if you're tired, you can eat this fruit to replenish your soul power."

"?!"

Sophia, her hands and feet trembling, turned pale with fright when she saw the fruit held in the dragon claws of Destin.

She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no... I won't eat it. I'll rest for a while and then I won't eat any fruit."

What a joke! The fruit on the Devil Fruit tree has eyes and a mouth; how could she dare to eat it?

In her eyes, this wasn't a fruit, it was a monster.

"Don't be afraid. This fruit is a devil fruit on the tree, but the moment you pick it off the tree, it becomes a hell fruit, a hell fruit that ghosts, zombies, and corpse monsters can eat."

There are no evil spirits in the fruit; it's just normal fruit.

Fearing that Sophia wouldn't believe him, Destin directly showed her the fruit in the dragon's claw.

Sophia, whose face still showed traces of fear, discovered that the fruit picked by Distin... was indeed no different from a normal fruit, without a mouth or eyes.

Is it really that amazing?

Even so, she didn't dare to eat it.

Seeing the fallen fruit on the ground, exactly the same as the one in Distin's dragon claw, she looked up at Distin and said, "I...I'm craving it, so I'll pick up a fruit from the ground and try it..."

"Little devil, once the Devil Fruit ripens, it will automatically fall to the ground. If you pick up the fallen fruit and eat it, you will become nourishment for the Devil Fruit tree."

The Devil Fruit, which falls to the ground when ripe, is poisonous—extremely poisonous. Whether it's a ghost or a zombie, eating it will surely kill them.

Only the moment it is plucked from the tree, transforming the Devil Fruit into a Hell Fruit, can it be eaten.

Diding threw the fruit from the dragon's claw into his mouth and ate it.

Sophia was deeply shocked; such a small fruit could be so strange and mysterious.

It's called the Devil Fruit on the tree, the Hell Fruit after it's picked, and a poisonous fruit when it falls to the ground after ripening.

It's a fruit specifically designed to poison and kill ghosts.

The dragon Diding knows so much. Is this the benefit of reading a lot of books?

Sophia was eager to try it; Diding had just eaten one, which meant that the fruit was indeed edible after being picked.

She believed that the flesh-and-blood Diding wouldn't eat monsters.

Want to try some?

Sophia walked to a devil fruit tree, held a devil fruit in her hand, gently twirled it, and picked the fruit.

Once she had the fruit, Sophia spun around, and her eyes and mouth disappeared, turning her into an ordinary fruit.

She wiped the fruit a few times with her hands, put it to her mouth, took a bite, and her face instantly turned green—the fruit was bitter!

"Don't spit it out, eat it."

Sophia closed her mouth again. The dragon Diding was too wicked; he had tricked her into eating such a bitter fruit.

It's so bitter, even more bitter than the herbs in the potion maker's jar.

She was so suffering that her soul began to turn transparent...

No, she's going back to the human world!

"Lord Distin, this Hell Fruit... can a living person eat it?"

"able."

Diding picked two more hell fruits from the demon fruit tree and handed them to Sophia, saying, "Kid, give some to the human girl who summoned you."

"Huh? Oh... I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sophia's soul vanished from hell, turning into mottled specks of light.

Diding picked up the shovel that Sophia had dropped and continued transplanting the flowers and plants.

This area can be used as a botanical garden in the future.

While you're at it, check to see if there are any Lord-level Treants in this area.

The first thing Sophia did after waking up was to get out of bed, open the balcony door, and spit repeatedly into her mouth. The bitterness of the Hell Fruit... was so bitter it made her soul tremble.

Anna didn't know what Sophia had experienced in the dream world, but when she saw Sophia spitting out her lips repeatedly, she immediately poured Sophia a glass of warm water.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Anna went to the balcony and handed the water glass to Sophia.

"I ate...I found a hair in my mouth, I feel a hair in my mouth."

Sophia wanted to say that she had eaten a very bitter fruit, but when she was about to say it, she suddenly thought that she would have to trick Anna into eating the hell fruit later. What if she said that she had eaten a very bitter fruit and then failed to fool Anna?

"Your hair? It must have been from the balcony that was left open last night, and the night breeze blew your hair into your mouth."

"That's possible."

Sofia took the water glass, took a sip of warm water, glanced at Anna, and nodded in agreement.

After chatting with Anna on the balcony for a while, Sofia went to her bedroom to change into a set of loose-fitting clothes suitable for exercise, and then went to the lobby on the first floor.

As soon as she arrived in the lobby on the first floor, she saw Grace, Aston, and Dalton sitting on the sofa.

The three of them stood up one after another when they saw Sophia.

"Why are the three of you here so early? Have you had breakfast? If not, would you like to eat with me?"

"Your Highness, I've already eaten. I've come so early today because I have something to tell you."

"If it's not urgent, let's talk in the garden after I finish breakfast."

"No rush, Your Highness, please have breakfast first."

Sofia nodded. Her breakfast was simple: a glass of warm milk and a few slices of bread.

She dared not drink the sap from the Tree of Life anymore, fearing that if she drank a cup every day, her white hair would one day turn completely green.

It's not too late to drink it after your green hair turns white again.

garden.

Sofia lay in a rocking chair, basking in the sun and enjoying the gentle morning breeze.

"Your Highness, I think I saw Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder, last night."

"Oh, I saw the Lord of Thunder, Emperor..." Sophia, who had been half-asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, got up from the rocking chair, and looked at Grace with a shocked expression. "What did you say? You said you saw Lord Destin last night?!"

Why didn't I see you last night?

"?"

Grace wondered, "Did Princess Sophia also meet Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder, that night?"

Seeing Sophia's surprised expression, she suddenly realized that Princess Sophia had misunderstood her.

It's her fault; she didn't explain herself clearly.

Grace touched her left eye, the image of that 'cold, domineering' vertical pupil she had seen last night flashing through her mind.

And that claw crackling with bluish-purple lightning.

Last night, she was just trying her luck, praying to the Lord of Thunder, Destin, to save her.

Unexpectedly, it actually alarmed the Lord of Thunder, Destin.

This powerful being merely extended a claw from her left eye and crushed the high-level demon, the Soul-Devouring Beast.

She wanted to ask Sophia what kind of being Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder, really was.

Last night, that purplish-blue vertical pupil, which seemed to contain thunder, didn't look like a human eye.

Grace suspects that Lord Destin, the Lord of Thunder, is not human...

"Your Highness, to be precise, what I saw was one of Lord Destin's eyes."

"?"

Now it was Sophia's turn to be puzzled. The dragon Diding hadn't left Hell last night, so how could Grace see Diding's eyes?
