Ye Feng entered his own mind and saw a blood-covered figure who looked exactly like him.
The blood figure Ye Feng grinned viciously at the real Ye Feng. "Kid, congratulations on obtaining the king of Logia Devil Fruits, the Blood-Blood Fruit, which no one has found in five hundred years. Develop it well! Once you've developed it to its peak, we'll meet again. Hahahaha..." After laughing, the blood figure transformed into a crimson orb of light and burrowed into Ye Feng's mind.
Ye Feng shook his head and returned to reality. It was nearly dark now. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a bright, cool beam of moonlight.
Just as Ye Feng was about to head home, he realized that his entire body was brimming with strength. He looked at his hands and closed his eyes. Then, something strange happened—Ye Feng's hands turned into bloody crimson hands, with veins crisscrossing their surfaces.
Ye Feng stared at his blood-covered hands and clenched his fists. A series of cracking sounds rang out.
As Ye Feng prepared to head down the mountain, his keen Observation Haki sensed beasts all around him—chickens, ducks, geese, and, even more strangely, rats.
Ye Feng saw that their eyes were blood-red, revealing a bloodthirsty desire. Every one of them seemed ready to rush at him and devour him.
Ye Feng let out a soft sigh. "Sigh..." Half an hour later, Ye Feng had finally killed them all.
At that moment, the entire back mountain had been dyed red with blood. Animal corpses littered the ground.
Although Ye Feng had killed them effortlessly, the splattered blood had dyed his clothes red.
Ye Feng picked up his sword from the ground, slung it across his back, and headed down the mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, Ye Feng planned to take a bath first. He was covered in blood from head to toe, and even his hair was stained with it, some strands having turned red.
When Ye Feng returned to Dadan's house, he remembered that there was nowhere to bathe there. So he went back down the mountain and ran to Makino's bar. The moment he opened the door, he saw Makino bent over, sweeping the floor with a broom.
Makino, who had been sweeping, heard the door open and looked toward it. She did not know what she would see until she looked—and when she did, she was shocked. Outside the entrance stood someone covered in blood, holding a sword in his hand, looking just like an asura that had crawled out of hell.
Makino was so frightened that she fainted on the spot. Ye Feng reacted quickly when he saw that she had been scared unconscious by his appearance and was falling backward. He rushed forward and caught her in a princess carry.
Looking at the unconscious Makino in his arms, Ye Feng thought, What she saw today will probably haunt her for the rest of her life.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly. He wondered how he was supposed to explain what had happened to Makino tomorrow. Forget it. He would think about it tomorrow. First, he needed a bath.
He laid Makino on a nearby sofa, then took a set of clothes he had left there and headed toward the bar's bathroom.
An hour later, the bathroom door opened. Ye Feng came out, drying his hair with a towel, and sat down at the other end of the sofa. Looking at the still-unconscious Makino, he reached out and pressed a finger against her forehead, using the Divine Illumination Scripture to erase what she had just seen.
After doing that, Ye Feng took a careful look at Makino and found that she was quite beautiful. Reclining against the sofa, her black hair spread around her like clouds. Even unconscious, a misty melancholy lingered at the corners of her alluring eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her cherry lips were rosy and moist. Finally, his gaze fell upon her accidentally exposed fragrant shoulder, fair and slender like a swan's neck, her skin as white as milk beneath slightly disheveled silk. Makino also had a figure capable of stunning everyone present, enough to rival the Pirate Empress Hancock, along with a soft and graceful waist. Even while unconscious, she did not lose the slightest bit of her beauty.
Ye Feng stared so hard that he was practically drooling. He secretly thought, How did I never notice that Makino was this beautiful before?
Ye Feng's entire body grew hot. On top of that, he had just eaten the Blood-Blood Fruit and did not yet know how to control it. Unable to restrain himself, he reached out his right hand and touched her long legs. They feel really good, he thought. Just as he was about to go further—
Ye Feng quickly pulled back his hand and shook his head. He bit down on the tip of his tongue until it bled, finally snapping back to his senses. He cursed under his breath, "I almost... did that."
Ye Feng hurriedly searched his jade pendant and found a copy of the Ice Heart Formula to calm his mind. "My heart is like ice crystal; even if the heavens collapse, I shall not be alarmed."
He recited it continuously for several minutes before the restless blood in his heart finally calmed down. Ye Feng turned to look at Makino, who was already sleeping soundly, kissed her once on the cheek and once on the lips, then turned and opened the door to leave.
The next morning, a major incident shook the village. A woodcutter heading up the mountain had found animal remains scattered across the hills and fields. The blood on the ground had seeped three feet deep into the earth. According to that villager, it was a sign of Asura Descends.
Early that morning, Ye Feng arrived at Makino's bar and saw her serving customers. Seeing this, he secretly thought, Looks like she's forgotten what happened yesterday.
He greeted Makino, "Hi, good morning, Makino."
Makino seemed completely unaware of what had happened the night before. Seeing Ye Feng greet her, she politely replied, "Good morning, Ye Feng."
