C85 (1/2)

I turned around. There was no one behind me other than the Wishing Tree with its red ribbon tied to it.

”Why did you come here yourself? Where is he?” The voice came again, a woman's voice that sounded like the Empress Dowager.

I couldn't understand what she was saying, so I decisively used a skill that always failed to be used — playing dumb — and continued to walk forward.

Without a doubt, he had failed again.

You might not believe it, but I was attacked by their Wishing Tree in a very powerful temple.

Fortunately, the Wishing Tree's intention wasn't to kill me, but to keep me. But the way I kept people was too weird, so I was dragged into the dense branches. I gloomily thought, if a monk came to see me in the tree, would he believe that I didn't climb up on my own accord?

”The last time you came, I saw you. It was just that you were a bit far away, and you had no intention of greeting me, so I didn't greet you.” Her voice was old, but I pretended not to hear that she was taking advantage of me.

”You haven't answered me. Where did he go?”

”Him? ”Who is it?” I really don't know. Xiao Bai whispered to me, ”I think you're asking me for dung.”

I opened my mouth and replied, ”He's dead.”

”Nonsense, how could I not know that he is dead? Where is he now? ” Big Tree was very unhappy with my perfunctory attitude, a little angry.

I was afraid that she would throw me down, so I quickly replied honestly, ”I don't know.” But my heart has already exploded! Was he really dead? So this one in my belly, is a product of me and a ghost?

Forgive me for using the word movement, but I don't think there's any fucking love between me and a ghost.

The tree fell silent, and I waited a moment to see if it would respond. I think this tree must have been here for hundreds or thousands of years. Generally speaking, the older you are, the easier it is for you to doze off. I suspect that this tree has fallen asleep.

She just goes to sleep, but I can't stay here forever with the wind blowing. If I get caught climbing trees, I'll be fined!

I saw the gap and prepared to slide down the trunk.

Just as he moved his butt, the uncle started to speak again. ”Aren't you in a hurry?”

I blinked my eyes. I must have died from the injustice. I must have lost a part of my memory on the surface. Who am I supposed to find to justify my actions to?

Grasping the branch in my hand, I didn't answer her. I ran as fast as I could out of the branches and slid down the trunk.

”Trying to run?” The tree snorted coldly. I instantly returned to the place I was previously at. Spicy chicken, people are in trouble, even the tree is bullying you!

”Mama, the big tree won't hurt us, don't worry.” To comfort me, but not to soothe the fretful feeling in my heart.

”He spoils you!” Big Tree said in a stern voice, ”I told him that he would never listen to my words!”

A loss of hope! I almost jumped up in anger! He thought to himself, ”Serves you right!” Let you say that about me! You've become something yourself! ”Bah!”

I gripped the branch tightly, wanting to turn it into a dagger and cut off all the branches!

”Forget it!” The tree sighed.

Suddenly, a female ghost appeared in front of me. She didn't seem like a female ghost at all. Her entire body was noble and graceful. Her face was as cold as ice and frost.

She looked down at me, but there was no expression on her face. ” ”Kid, do you like the greeting gift?”
