Chapter 803 - Stealing a bite of the Forbidden Fruit (2/2)

Duck Emperor said, “Yes, we did. It was Ghost who asked around. They told her this is the forbidden fruit. If we did not ask what the fruit was, we would never eat it.”

Forbidden fruit?

It surprised Xiao Luo when he heard what Duck Emperor said. The forbidden fruit was the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It was the tree in the Garden of Eden from the Bible. The punishment for taking a bite of the forbidden fruit was severe. Could there have been any other reason they called it the Forbidden Fruit?

“Senior Luoluo, it should be fine. Right?” Ghost asked when she noticed Xiao Luo looking concerned.

“We just ate a couple of fruits. What can happen to us? At our high cultivation level, even if it is poisonous, we can suppress it easily. Little girl, do not worry,” said Duck Emperor as he reassured Ghost. He was unconcerned and was even thinking of eating a few more fruits. The forbidden fruit was very delicious and tasted so much better than any fruit he had ever eaten.

“You do not know sh*t!”

Xiao Luo reprimanded the duck, and added, “You went to the market as well. There are so many stalls selling fruits, yet none of them sold the forbidden fruit. It tastes so delicious, and yet no one sells it at the market. Yet, one can pick it off the tree and eat it just like that. Is it not enough to show you how unusual this forbidden fruit is?”

When he listened to Xiao Luo, Duck Emperor panicked a little, but he still argued his point. “Maybe… maybe there are just so many forbidden fruits, and it is just too ordinary. Look around this pond. There are dozens of forbidden fruit trees, and there is an abundant supply of it…”

“I hope that is the case,” Xiao Luo sneered.

“Senior Luoluo, surely these forbidden fruits are not poisonous. Right?” Ghost was getting more worried.

“It is not whether they are poisonous. I suspect the women in Baiyue Nation consume the forbidden fruit to get pregnant,” Xiao Luo answered.

“Huh?”

After he said that, Ghost and Duck Emperor’s hearts beat a little faster.

“God-damn brat, you better not scare me. You said the women got pregnant from drinking the water from the Zimu River, not from eating any fruit,” Duck Emperor said.

“I just said there is a possibility a Zimu River might exist. I never said it exists for sure. Who knows? It could be the people at Baiyue Nation consume the forbidden fruit to get pregnant,” Xiao Luo replied.

ZAP!

Like a bolt of lightning, Duck Emperor sat right down on the ground and opened his eyes wide. That was right. Why did he not think of it? Though he might be a duck from the Dimension of Chaos, he was still quite familiar with the Original World. Considering his knowledge, he could be a half-being of the Original World. He knew the meaning behind a forbidden fruit. If Xiao Luo’s assumption was correct, the forbidden fruit might be the fruit that made one pregnant.

“Screw his grandpa duck. I cannot believe my ability to resist temptation is so low,” Duck Emperor mumbled, secretly blaming himself.

“Does pregnant mean I am going to have a baby?” Ghost asked Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo nodded his head and uttered, “Mm-hm.”

“No way, no way. I do not want to have a baby. Giving birth is very painful,” blurted Ghost.

Ghost worried at the prospect of being pregnant. She had seen women giving birth back at the Dark Castle and watched how they screamed their lungs out in pain. Giving birth was a severely painful experience. There was no way she wanted to go through the pain.

Xiao Luo kept quiet. He only hoped his assumption was wrong and the forbidden fruit was not like the water from the Zimu river, but just an ordinary fruit—not one that could make a person pregnant.

However, hope was only wishful thinking, and reality could be cruel.

Duck Emperor, who ate most of the forbidden fruit, felt something going on right then.

“Pain… ouch! My belly hurts… my belly hurts so much,” Duck Emperor cried as he rolled on the ground.

“Me too… my stomach is hurting.”

Right after Duck Emperor, Ghost could feel cramping pain in her abdomen.

What the hell!

Xiao Luo could not help but curse silently.
