1419 This Tree… Has a Mind of its Own! (2)
“We meet again.” Wang Teng smirked.
Ferya sensed a spiritual fluctuation sweeping out of the huge tree, but she didn’t know who was causing it. She frowned. “Who are you talking to?”
Wang Teng raised his chin at the huge tree and mocked,”So you’re the tree hiding from everyone!”
“The tree!” Ferya squinted. She understood what he meant, but she was still astounded. The spiritual fluctuation was coming from the tree. She felt dazed for a second before she exclaimed, bewildered, “Wait, this tree… has a mind of its own!”
“You can say that.” Wang Teng glanced at her in approval. The girl was like him.
The universe was huge. Plants with intelligence were rare, but they did exist.
Star beasts could become sentient, while some could even change into human form. The same applied to plants.
Some spiritual creatures born under a lucky star lived under the nourishment of heaven and earth, naturally becoming stronger over time. If they were fortunate enough to develop intelligence, it would be like striking the lottery.
Of course, the chances of this happening were extremely small.
Once a plant gained intelligence, it became ‘spiritualized’.
Countless droplets of light gathered above the tree, soon condensing to form a stern-looking lady in a white dress.
She was beautiful. Her nose was sharp and her eyebrows looked like pieces of art. Her gaze remained cold-blooded; it was uncomfortable to look at.
The tree girl sat on a branch and looked down at the two newcomers.
Ferya was dumbstruck when she saw the lady. She exclaimed, “Wow, the tree turned into a demon.”
The lady in white: …
What is she saying?
What do you mean ‘turned into a demon’?
You’re the demon, your entire family are demons.
She was a rare tree spirit with intelligence. Normal plants couldn’t compare to her.
“It is uncommon for a tree to gain intelligence,” Round Ball’s voice said, inside Wang Teng’s mind.
“Do you know what tree this is?” Wang Teng asked.
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen a spiritual tree of the light element like her.” Round Ball was in deep thought. It then continued, “Maybe a mutation took place. Let me see if I can find similar plants.”
“Okay.” Wang Teng nodded.
“Did you kill all my servants?”
The lady in white spoke coldly, her face expressionless. She seemed to be looking down on all creatures of the world.
However, our hero sensed that the lady was putting up an act. How funny.
The woman was trying to imitate the goddess who left him her legacy. The emulation was crude, though; only their appearance was similar. She was basically turning into the butt of a joke.
“A robber acting like a cop?” Wang Teng scoffed. “You are the one who ordered those light velvet guardians to self-destruct. How can you now say we killed them?”
“They’re my servants; they should serve me and die willingly for my sake,” the lady in white replied indifferently.
“What bullshit is this?” Wang Teng cursed uncontrollably. “Who gave you the right to decide about their survival?”
“So you are the one controlling the light velvet people, causing them to self-explode? What a devil!” Ferya raged.
“Impudent!” the lady in white retorted, “I’m the Mother of Light. Who dares to say I’m a devil?”
“Mother of Light? Seriously? Who gave you the face to make such a claim?” Ferya scolded. Wang Teng glanced at her from the corner of his eye, astounded by her chastising abilities.
The tree lady’s face turned black.
“You purposely released these ‘seeds’, right?” A glowing ‘seed’ suddenly appeared on the young man’s palm. He continued calmly, “You use them to control other spiritual creatures. How can you call yourself the Mother of Light after such evil deeds?”
“Indeed, you’re the one who destroyed the consciousness strand I left in the ‘seeds’. No wonder I find you familiar,” said the lady in white, coldly.
“Yes, it was me. Are you happy to see me?” Wang Teng smiled.
The lady in white: ??
Ferya glanced at her partner, feeling at a loss.
Why would she ever be happy to see you?
You’re her enemy. It doesn’t make sense for her to be happy upon seeing you.
“I was looking for you, but you actually came of your own accord,” said the tree lady in a cold voice.
“What a coincidence. I also came looking for you,” Wang Teng replied.
The lady in white: …
Ferya felt the corners of her lips twitching, while she wondered what the coincidence was. This guy’s mind works in different ways.
The lady in white couldn’t bear it anymore. She shouted in her icy voice, “Die!” She pointed at the two warriors.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Shrill sonic booms were heard. Multiple vines rushed out from the tree, going straight towards Wang Teng and Ferya.
“Are you angry?” Wang Teng darted about, evading the vines with a chuckle.
