1063 Nine Nether First Young Masters Tree? (1/2)
”Old Master… Since I had developed a conscious, I am also a living spirit in this world ah… I also wish to live for a few more years… Even though there is not much meaning living, but being alive is still living…”
Lord Holy Tree had a bleak and forlorn expression…
”So, after I understood this, I began to slowly reduce the quantity of Holy Fruits, until the current two bunches… The remaining bunches were refined into life blood essence to prolong my longevity… Then all gathered here… In preparation when my life gradually comes to an end, I can water myself in it and have that brief moment of breath when I'm at death's door… But now, all my thousands of years of savings have turned into nothing and went to someone else…”
Lord Holy Tree pointed at that life blood essence pond bottom, which was almost visible. He really felt like crying… All these were the stocks I had been saving for thousands of years ah… Because of the arrival of you, this pestilence, I've used up ninety percent of it within such a short time…
”En… I see… Then you cannot be blamed for this.” Jun Mo Xie said magnanimously. Whether Misty Illusory Manor got more or less was not his business… And now, he knew that the Rainbow Holy Tree in his Hongjun Pagoda was growing normally…
That was enough. Considering the matter on a more shameless level, all the Holy Tree;s life blood essence that had been saved and stashed away by Lord Holy Tree for thousands of years was almost practically used up to save Green Hunter for him. It seemed that he was the one who had taken advantage of the Misty Illusory Manor!
If this fellow had been honestly bearing fruits normally… Then Green Hunter would really be done for this time… Thank goodness this tree played dirty ah…
”Now there is no big issue anymore. Let's chat. How did you come here? Where were you originally from?” Jun Mo Xie was really interested about what sort of place it was to be able to produce this sort of miraculous tree. Could it be… another unique space?
”That… Back then… I had only just begun to develop a conscious. I still did not dare to speak, or even make any noise…” A gloomy look took over Lord Holy Tree's face. ”That day, a black-robed man suddenly appeared in my hometown… He walked around the forest, for some reason, he picked me… I also don't know where is my hometown…”
”But afterward, I had learnt that that black-robed man had a mighty reputation, called the 'Nine Nether First Young Master'!” Lord Holy Tree let out a sigh. ”He did not care whether I agreed or not, simply uprooting me in a single grab without saying a single thing…”
”Uprooted you in a single grab… How big were you then?” Jun Mo Xie was a little shocked. This Holy Tree had already developed a consciousness… A tree with a consciousness… could it develop it in a short time? It would take at least two thousand years?”
A tree that had grown for two thousand years… Uprooting it in a single grab… so easily?
Jun Mo Xie pretended not to hear the part Lord Holy Tree mentioned the Nine Nether First Young Master not seeking his opinion. Which person in this world would ask a tree 'Do you agree? when trying to replant a tree.
If there was, it was either a retard or a moron. And the Nine Nether First Young Master didn't seem like either of the two…
”I was definitely thinner than now, and I was much skinnier… About eight people huddled together? That sort of thickness…” Lord Holy Tree said, a little embarrassed.
”Ah? A tree that is about the thickness of eight people huddled together… One person, uprooted it with a single hand? Are you for real?” Young Master Jun's eyes were completely widened. What sort of strength is that ah? This is a little too exaggerated?
”Of course it's real… he only used a single hand back then…” Lord Holy Tree let out a long sigh. ”Because Lord First Young Master noticed that I grew the most upright, so he chose me from one look…”
”Um…” Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes, speechless. What sort of selection method is this, it's too unconventional…
”Then I arrived here and put down my roots. The Nine Nether First Young Master had even personally gave me a name…” Lord Holy Tree said. ”He said, you stand so straight, as if you are punished to stand still for being disobedient… From today onwards, you shall be called a tree that is punished to stand still…”
”A tree that is punished to stand still, it is really a creative name ah…” The corners of Jun Mo Xie's mouth twitched. This Nine Nether First Young Master was still a little humorous… Which tree in this world didn't stand? Were they all punished to stand still?
”Actually, I did not commit any offense; I had never commit any crimes before… So naturally I am not punished to stand still…” Lord Holy Tree explained innocently. ”I actually also wish to lie down… But I can't lie down ah…”
”You actually wish to lie down? Should I get you a bed ah…” The corner of Jun Mo Xie's lips twitched again.
He was really utterly defeated… A tree also wished to lie down…
”Alright, let's not waste any more time, I'm in a rush… The 'power that grows all wood' that you wish for… Should I give it to you, so you can slowly digest it, or should I directly digest it for you?” Jun Mo Xie has completely lost interest in chatting with this 'innocent' tree.
Lord Holy Tree clearly hesitated for a while, as if he couldn't make up his mind on which to pick. But he still could not conceal the happiness in his eyes.
