Super Gene - Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290




"Well, well, well . Look who it is! Empty Witch? Why are you here? And if my eyes really aren't playing tricks on me, please tell me there's a good reason for your presence here . Last I recall, you weren't the fondest of company one could keep . " Han Sen was surprised, seeing the mini lady .

Back in the Second God's Sanctuary, the Empty Witch had used the Empty Vine to access the Third God's Sanctuary . That was the first and last time Han Sen had met her, and it followed hot on the heels of a grueling adventure . The circumstances of their first encounter were not very pleasant, that was for sure .

Empty Witch stuttered to say, "Well, can I just be the first to congratulate you on your accomplishments? I can't believe you've managed to take down as many emperor shelters as the tales tell . "

"Well, you're not the first . And for all you know, I just got a little lucky . I caught one emperor when he was napping," Han Sen said .

Empty Witch proceeded to tell him, "If you think these attempts at a jest are charming, I can only admit that you are gravely mistaken!"

Han Sen merely smiled and said, "Jokes aside then, come on; tell me why you're here . "

"The Holy Baby Fruit is going to ripen soon . Miss Lotus wants every emperor to try it . You may not be a spirit, but you're an emperor all the same . Because of this, she has extended you a very special invitation," Empty Witch explained . Then, after a brief pause, she jumped to ask, "Where is the Holy Spirit?"

"She's not here," Han Sen plainly stated .

Ji Yanran had joined an aircraft expedition, along with Bao'er .

Empty Witch looked disappointed, but she moved forward to ask, "Can you bring her here? I would very much like to see her . "

"Bao'er is too busy to come right now . Anyway, keep explaining," Han Sen said .

"That's disappointing . Ugh, I don't know why I came all this way . " Empty Witch rolled her eyes .

Han Sen said, "Why is the Lotus Empress being so kind as to invite us all to eat this fruit?"

"Holy Baby Fruit is an emperor-class geno plant . Only she can grow these, and every ten thousand years, she invites emperors from all across the sanctuary to taste them . It's your lucky day, it would seem," Empty Witch finished saying .



Han Sen did not say anything in response . It was a very strange proposition, one Han Sen thought to be a little fishy .

Plus, if he went, he'd be a sole human venturing into all-spirit territory . It could have been a trap . Even if he was to consider going, he knew he'd have to take many precautions .

Empty Witch could see the expression of doubt lurking behind Han Sen's cold facade, and she tried to bring him ease by saying, "Don't worry; there are many people there who despise each other . In the shadows of Evil Lotus Shelter, though, none would dare cause a scene . You'll be safe . "

"Roger that, but . . . I think I'll pass," Han Sen said .

Han Sen wasn't going to willingly place his life in the hands of others and take someone like her at her word . Normal geno fruit no longer worked on Han Sen, and if Lotus Empress was willing to issue it out as a gift, he didn't think it could be anything all that special .

"I suspected you might look upon such an event with suspicion, and I'd wager that is because you don't know really know what this whole thing is . But don't worry, I have a sneaking suspicion of my own . A suspicion that suggests you will change your mind . " Empty Witch then threw something to Han Sen .

Han Sen examined the item and noticed it to be a lotus flower .



"This is her invitation . I suggest you ask your spirit buddies what Holy Baby Fruit is; I'm sure you are more inclined to believe them than me . And once you change your mind, this is your ticket . " Empty Witch paused, and then with bright and glittering eyes, jumped to say, "Bring the Holy Spirit, too . I still want to meet her . "

"I'm off now to go visit another emperor and hand him his invitation . He's a grumpy fellow, but thankfully, they don't shoot the messengers . Anyway, Mister Han Sen, I implore that you take the time to ask around and think about it . " Empty Witch then swiftly flew away .

Han Sen frowned . Empty Witch was able to sneak inside the shelter without being detected—she was good .

Becoming this strong in such a short time meant Lotus Empress must have been quite something . Empty Witch didn't seem particularly special, yet her empress had trained her extremely well .

Han Sen asked his companions about Holy Baby Fruit and whether or not Lotus Empress could be trusted .

This event had been going on for a long time, and it was confirmed to be safe . No deaths or dangers had ever been reported as occurring there before, either . Every Holy Baby Fruit bestowed upon someone gave them one self geno point . And emperors had actually received two at the last event .

And one Holy Baby Fruit, out of all the ones to be given out, possessed a Holy Baby inside . If you were lucky enough to receive that one, you could open a gene lock .

If you had already opened ten gene locks, you could open the door and become a demi-god . Forty-thousand years ago, an emperor ate the Holy Baby and immediately became a demi-god .

There were three thousand fruits up for grabs, though . Getting the right one was sheer luck .

"Why doesn't she eat the fruit herself, then?" Han Sen found it too good to be true .

Han Sen thought only a crazy fool would hand-out such wondrous gifts willy-nilly .

Dry Bone King, the source of Han Sen's information, explained, "The legends say it is because she is unable to eat them . Instead of letting them go to waste, though, she charitably hands them out . Pretty much every emperor has tasted her fruit, and it kind of means they owe her one in return . It's a way for her to earn respect more than anything . If spirits want more fruit, they must maintain their pleasantness with her . "

"That's interesting," Han Sen thought .

Baby Ghost told Han Sen, "Some berserk super creatures receive invitations, too . And while you hold that invitation of hers, you won't be provoked when you're out and about . Unless you go looking for a fight and start one, of course . "
