Two days later, in the palace of Las Noches. It was called a palace, but it had neither a roof nor walls around it, only a few white stone pillars.
Barragan, who called himself King, sat high on a stone throne. The moonlight shone on Barragan, revealing a terrifying figure like a true Shinigami.
Barragan liked this open-air design very much, with the entire sky of Hueco Mundo as the roof, it was worthy of a King's status.
At this moment, Barragan raised his right hand, propping his chin, and recalled the past.
It had been over four thousand years since he took control of Hueco Mundo. At first, unifying Hueco Mundo, Barragan was somewhat excited. A thousand years later, this boring life made him somewhat miss that foolish beast that only knew how to devour.
Below the throne, dozens of Adjuchas-class Hollows were engaged in a fierce battle. These mid-level Hollows, with their varied forms, dared not stop even when exhausted, if they did not have the King's command.
"Your… Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a giant sand worm-type Hollow emerged from underground. Even with his mask on, his panicked expression was clearly visible on his face.
Barragan narrowed his non-existent eyes and waved his right hand, stopping the mid-level Hollows who were fighting.
"Iwamushi, why are you the only one who returned… Where are Zommari and the others?…"
Barragan's tone was filled with displeasure. Hearing that there was a female Vasto Lorde in the Forest of the Gran Hollows, he sent Zommari and the others to pacify her on his behalf. Now it seemed that that Hollow, like Halibel, refused to be his concubine.
"Dead! All dead!"
Iwamushi began to explain how Zommari and the others were killed by Lin Feng. However, this guy spoke illogically, mentioning women and Hollows without masks, leaving everyone confused.
"This guy isn't making up stories, is he?"
The Hollows nearby whispered, believing that Iwamushi was trying to escape the punishment for failure by telling an absurd story, as in Las Noches, if a mission was not completed, there was only one outcome—death!
"Enough!" Barragan released black mist with one hand. Before the Hollows could react, the black mist instantly enveloped Iwamushi. In less than a second, the terrifying black mist corroded Iwamushi until only white bones remained.
Feeling the King's anger, those stout-bodied Hollows were terrified, all kneeling on one knee, trembling all over.
"To dare kill my army, it seems the fellow in the forest is even more arrogant than Halibel."
Barragan's words carried bone-chilling coldness. He ruled all of Hueco Mundo, was the King who decided the life and death of all Hollows, and was a God above all Hollows!
He absolutely would not allow any Hollow in Hueco Mundo to desecrate the King's majesty.
Just because she became a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow not long ago, did she think she was invincible? He had ruled Hueco Mundo for four thousand years. Other high-level Hollows were just trash in his eyes.
"Go, have the Arrancar bring them back. I will punish them personally."
Barragan spoke to a white, spider-shaped Hollow.
His 'Blades', Barragan's direct elite troops, were on a completely different level of power compared to other Hollows; there were even Vasto Lorde-class Hollows among them.
...
Just as Barragan dispatched his high-ranking Hollows to punish the disrespectful, Lin Feng and Loly had already reached the outer perimeter of the Forest of the Gran Hollows.
Over the past two days, they had encountered numerous Hollow attacks along the way, but with the terrifying Lin Feng in their team, no matter what kind of Hollow it was, it would be instantly knocked down with a single Cero.
After dealing with the suicidal Hollows, Lin Feng did not directly absorb all the Hollow corpses, but instead left the corpse of a wild boar.
Lin Feng had Loly and the others set up a bonfire in an open space, cut off more than twenty catties of meat from the wild boar-type Hollow, skewered it on iron rods, and roasted it over the fire.
While Menoly was grilling rows of meat skewers over the fire, Lin Feng also brushed a layer of cooking oil on them. Whoosh! The flames immediately flared up.
Then Lin Feng took out his secret spiced salt and sprinkled it on. The spices, provided by the system, naturally tasted incomparable.
The Hollow meat skewers grilled this way were truly fragrant, smelling just like real barbecue. However, they contained more Reishi than meat skewers from the human world.
"There's actually something this delicious in this world!"
When Loly and Menoly ate the delicious roasted pork, they even shed tears of happiness. These Adjuchas usually lived such hard lives that they had no time to ponder over delicacies. Only after following their master could they enjoy the pleasure of tasting fine food.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the captivating aroma deeper into the forest. Gurgle~ Gurgle~
Menoly and Loly suddenly frowned and stopped devouring their food. They both heard movement in the woods, like some kind of hungry beast!
Lin Feng, on the other hand, casually scanned his surroundings. Hollows could only perceive hidden enemies around them through spiritual sense, but Lin Feng, possessing the True Ancestor perception system, also had ultrasonic positioning capabilities. He easily spotted a small head behind a withered tree.
"Don't hide. I've already seen you."
After being called out, a cute little head poked out from behind the tree. Who else could it be but Nilu?
At this moment, Nilu's uncooperative stomach rumbled incessantly, causing a blush to spread across her pretty face beneath her mask. Although she hadn't eaten for a day, she didn't know why she felt so hungry at this moment.
"If you don't mind, come and eat with us."
Lin Feng smiled and waved to her, his handsome smile giving her a warmth like a spring breeze.
Nilu walked out of the woods. Through two days of observing Lin Feng, she found that Lin Feng's personality was not as brutal as other Hollows. Moreover, he was exceptionally gentle towards female Hollows, even making her a little envious.
When Loly saw that it was that Vasto Lorde again, her expression immediately turned serious. Damn it, why did this guy keep haunting them? The King also didn't seem to have any intention of expelling her.
"You must be a vegetarian, right? Come and try the milk steamed buns I made; there isn't a single soul inside."
Lin Feng pulled out a lunchbox from the void, which contained warm milk steamed buns.
Nilu sat on a wooden stump by the bonfire, her eyes fixed on the fragrant steamed buns in Lin Feng's hand, swallowing hard. On one hand, Nilu was indeed hungry; on the other hand, these steamed buns were intentionally made by Lin Feng to lure her, so how could they not be delicious?
"Mm, thank you."
Nilu nodded politely, took a warm milk steamed bun from the lunchbox, and took a gentle bite.
"So... so delicious! Since I gained consciousness until now, I've never eaten such delicious food."
After Nilu took a bite of the steamed bun, it melted in her mouth, leaving an incredibly sweet aftertaste. So she quickly stuffed the entire bun into her mouth.
"My name is... Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, you can just call me... Nilu."
Nilu sat on the tree stump, introducing herself to Lin Feng while opening her small mouth and chewing the delicious food in front of her in large bites.
An unprecedented warmth filled Nilu's heart.
Although she usually prepared some simple dishes, like hollowing out lizard intestines and stuffing them with tree fruits, they were nowhere near as good as these fragrant, warm steamed buns.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Lin Feng. Don't rush, I have plenty more here."
Seeing Nilu's rather unladylike eating style, Lin Feng actually felt happy.
Although the other party was still in her Arrancar state, Lin Feng glanced through the gap between her thighs and saw a patch of fair, tender flesh. Her bone armor couldn't completely conceal her voluptuous and alluring figure.
Soon, Lin Feng's delicious barbecue was completely swept away, most of it ending up in Loly's and Menoly's stomachs. Although Nilu only ate steamed buns and no barbecue, the portion was still considerable, and her slender waist was bulging.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality... Um... that, I was rude last time, and this time I've eaten so much of your delicious food."
Nilu rubbed her bulging stomach and said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's alright, as long as you like to eat it. These foods are made from ordinary ingredients."
Lin Feng said kindly.
"Uh, uh..."
Nilu nodded, but she clearly had more to say.
"What's wrong? Nilu. Just say whatever you want to say."
"Th-that... are you... are you really going to overthrow the King in Las Noches?"
Nilu suddenly looked up, hoping Lin Feng wouldn't go to Las Noches. She had heard from other Hollows that countless powerful Hollows lived in Las Noches. If Lin Feng went to Las Noches, he might never return.
"This is something I must do."
Lin Feng said with determination in his voice.
"I don't understand..."
Nilu, believing Lin Feng to be a good person, sincerely advised him.
"Why must you go to Las Noches to contend for the throne? Isn't it just as happy to live here?"
"Hueco Mundo originally belonged to me."
Lin Feng neither denied nor affirmed Nilu's naivety. Instead, he began to explain the truth of the world.
"Yours...? Haha, Lin Feng, don't joke around." Nilu laughed, but seeing his serious expression, Nilu immediately realized her impropriety and covered her mouth with her small hand.
"Do you know how old Hueco Mundo is?"
Lin Feng threw out another question.
"...? Nilu doesn't know."
Nilu shook her head, carefully looking at Lin Feng's red pupils, and for a moment, she felt he became even more mysterious.
"The history of Hueco Mundo's birth is a million years old, and who created Hueco Mundo?!"
Lin Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened as he revealed something unknown to both Nilu and Loly.
"That is the King whom the Soul Reapers serve—the Soul King!"
"That was a million years ago, the Soul King controlled by the ancestors of the Soul Reapers..."
Under Lin Feng's explanation, Nilu and Loly learned, in shock, the truth about Hueco Mundo, the Human World, and the Soul Society.
"Alright, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Lin Feng, a human with the blood of the Soul King flowing in my veins!"
Lin Feng's words were half-truths, pushing all the bad things in Hueco Mundo onto the ancestors of the Soul Reapers. Why Hueco Mundo had no sun, why Hollows devoured souls—any bad thing, just blame the Soul Reapers, and it would be right.
Lin Feng even adopted Yhwach's template, claiming to be the Soul King's son, here to change Hueco Mundo.
"How amazing, Lin Feng is such a special existence. If it's you, you can definitely change this cruel world."
Nilu's small face under her mask showed an excited blush. No wonder he possessed the power to break Hollows' masks. Nilu was very happy to know the Soul King's son.
Loly and Menoly, who were beside him, had little stars flashing in their eyes, completely treating Lin Feng as a divine being.
"These girls are really pure, it almost makes me feel embarrassed... Just kidding!"
Lin Feng had traveled through so many worlds, his integrity had long been completely lost.
"Nilu, are you willing to accept this power and change this flawed world with me?"
At the tip of Lin Feng's index finger, a drop of blue-glowing blood had condensed. Just looking at it, one could tell it contained infinite power.
"I am willing."
Nilu knelt on one knee. Since hearing the truth Lin Feng spoke, Nilu had already made up her mind. She would become a rebel and change this bloody world created by the Shinigami's True Ancestor. For this, even sacrificing her own life was acceptable.
As Nilu held Lin Feng's fingertip in her mouth and sucked the essence blood from it, a warm current surged in. Her body emitted a dazzling light, and her bone armor gradually cracked open.
Her mask shattered, and her fair, flawless body was completely exposed to Lin Feng's eyes. Skin as smooth as milk, flowing green algae-colored long hair, and a tender, slender willow waist.
Her round, voluminous breasts, paired with her full, long, powerful thighs, possessed a unique plump beauty, and her feminine, soft curves were indescribably perfect.
Even the two girls, Loly, beside her, were astonished by Nilu's beautiful body.
"Congratulations, Master, on recruiting a high-ranking Hollow!"
Menoly immediately cheered. Loly, however, bit her nails, as her worst fear had indeed come true.
"This is great! Lin Feng, I'm so happy."
Nilu was inexplicably joyful after becoming an Arrancar. She stomped her feet and swiftly pounced into Lin Feng's embrace. Her thighs clamped around Lin Feng's waist, and her small hands covered his head.
She rubbed Lin Feng vigorously with her F-cup chest, without any shame. Her plump, smooth flesh could cover Lin Feng's cheeks, and a sweet milky scent wafted over him.
Loly immediately turned red with jealousy, reaching out to grab Nilu's hair, wanting to pull her off her master.
However, after becoming an Arrancar, Nilu's strength had increased several times. The difference between them now was like that between a Captain and a Lieutenant in the same division of the Shinigami; there was a world of difference between Nilu and Loly.
"Stop messing around, put on some clothes quickly."
Lin Feng patted Nilu's smooth and delicate back. Although he enjoyed Nilu's 'face wash', in this open area, if other Hollows saw them, he would suffer a great loss.
