1059 I am Your Old Master! (2/2)
The danger was finally temporarily over.
Lord Holy Tree heaved a sigh of relief. It had nearly pissed itself from fear a moment ago… that was, if it could pee in the first place…
But if it could sweat, it might not be impossible that it could pee as well…
”Old Master… wu…” This Lord Holy Tree finally could not bear it and it started crying. It had never seen anyone bullying a person like that… no, bullying a tree like that…
”En. Please put those eyeballs back before talking; it's uncomfortable for me to look at.” Jun Mo Xie shook his leg and and pointed at the two large eyeballs that had fallen in front of him.
Lord Holy Tree hurriedly nodded and with a sou sound, the two eyeballs were retrieved. After that, its wizened old face twisted together with a fawning expression as it asked, ”Old Master, what other instructions do you have?”
Hearing the old tree calling him 'Old Master', Young Master Jun felt somewhat speechless. ”I say… you've already lived for over 10,000 years. How come you don't have any backbone at all?”
Young Master Jun was truly somewhat helpless against this spineless tree. Even a normal expert would always have their own insistence. But this tree was great; with just a bit of threatening, it even called out 'Old Master' so enthusiastically…
Truthfully, Lord Holy Tree was quite helpless as well. You brat are at the most sensitive part of my body, and you took out such a horrifying flame all of a sudden, and even forced me so shamelessly to call you Old Master. After being forced and calling you Old Master, you said that I have no backbone… what do you want then? Why are you so hard to please?
I also want my pride. But if I hold on to my pride… my little life will be forfeited… Do you think it was easy to live for over 10,000 years…
”Old Master… having a backbone may be important…” Lord Holy Tree said with a bitter face: ”… But my little life… is more important…”
”I see.” Jun Mo Xie said with some exasperation. ”You lifeforms from outside of civilization have too little education! If you discard your pride for the sake of living on, what is the point of life? Can't you have some goals? Something to pursue? The most basic self esteem?”
Lord Holy Tree nodded repeatedly in an eager manner, but it felt exceedingly bitter in its heart. If you're the one with a knife hanging above your neck, I'll like to see how you insist on your pride… F*ck, you're talking about pride to a person whose life was in danger? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless…
”Didn't they say that there were quite a few Rainbow Holy Trees here? How come there's only you here alone? Where are the others?” Jun Mo Xie sighed and shook his head. From the way he saw it, talking to this fellow about pride was no different than playing the lute to a cow. But this was fine as well; at least he would be saving himself some trouble…
”Who said that? There's only been me here all along!” Lord Holy Tree exclaimed. But in an instant, it understood what he meant. ”Are you talking about those trees that the other humans grew?”
”That;s right.” Jun Mo Xie nodded.
”Pei! Those few broken things are deserving of the name Rainbow Holy Tree as well?” Lord Holy Tree seemed to have regained his previous arrogant air again. When it compared itself to those other trees, it instantly felt much more lofty. ”Those little trees are actually just young saplings that were grafted from my branches. They are in essence, this Lord Holy Tree's children and grandchildren. Those things do not have any consciousness, and even if they grew for another 10,000 years, they would never be able to produce any Seven Colored Holy Fruits! They simply do not possess that ability; I've swallowed them long ago…
”Swallowed… F*ck!” Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes with disbelief. This fellow was actually so heartless… to even be able to swallow its own children and grandchildren!
”Oh? So from what you said, it is impossible for a second Rainbow Holy Tree to appear in this world?” Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes.
”That is not necessarily so. As long as I'm willing… En, actually, it's like this; how can nurturing a Rainbow Holy Tree be such an easy matter? Without experiencing the winds and rain of thousands of years… how can one grow up? The Holy Tree… is naturally the only one…” As it spoke, Lord Holy Tree changed its tone and shook its head as it hummed. ”A Holy Tree is a large tree; a large tree turns into an old tree, and only after being refined by rain and gale, can it be considered a tree that towers to the sky…”
This fellow actually knows how to compose poems!
Young Master Jun truly began to look at it with a different light…
”There's really no way to cultivate a second Rainbow Holy Tree?” Young Master Jun's voice turned somewhat dangerous. The ball of Flame of Primal Chaos began to sway back and forth in a horrifying manner as he sighed in a pitiful tone. ”Ai… I guess there's no point in leaving you alive then… when I came in today, I was intending on obtaining a method to cultivate a new tree. You're too big, and I can't take you away no matter what… If I can't cultivate a new tree, that would mean that I'm destined to not be able to get a Rainbow Holy Tree… If I can't have something, how can I allow others to have it? Since you said you're the only one, I'll just have to kill you then. From now on, the Rainbow Holy Tree will become history, belonging to no one…”
With a whooshing sound, the Flame of Primal Chaos surged upwards again…
How could Young Master Jun be such an extreme person? But from the words of this Rainbow Holy Tree, he could already tell that this fellow was at the crucial point in nurturing another Rainbow Holy Tree. However, this fellow was obviously quite dishonest…
But this Young Master is already standing in your heart right now… is there any use… in being dishonest?
”Don't~~ Old Master!!! Old Master, I'm calling you Old Master, isn't that fine? Please don't set me on fire ah…” Lord Holy Tree's voice reached a new pitch as its face was filled with water. ”We're family, everything can be talked over; everything can be discussed…”
”Who is family with you? What a bullsh*t discussion! Since you cannot give me a Holy Tree, and I can't take you away… what is there left to discuss?” Young Master Jun's voice was fierce and sharp as he continued fiercely. ”Since it's impossible, I'll just have to burn the bridges. Nobody will get anything!!!”
