2414 You Are a Retarded Tree


    “Two days at the soonest, and five at thetest! Masta will definitely be able to break through to the divine realm and achieve divine conscious!”


    “Really?”


    “Of course. Could absorbing that great void gem’s core just have gone to waste?” The little treant harrumphed and raised his head pridefully. “It is definitely true. My master is so strong. Does she need three to five years to absorb that bit of core? Rest assured! Things will wrap up in seven days at thetest!”


    “You just said five days at thestest earlier!” Duan Yue reminded speechlessly.


    !!


    Qiuqiu red at him. “Noisy!”


    The two men: …


    Don’t think that by mimicking Qiaoqiao’s tone of voice, we will see you as Qiaoqiao!


    Your statements not matching cannot change the fact that you are a retarded tree!


    “Didn’t you say that Qiaoqiao is about to wake up?”


    The little treant gave Mo Lian a look that asked “are you stupid.” Afterwards, he said, “When did I saw that Masta was about to wake up? Just wait here!”


    After saying this, he ran over to the little ermine on his own. He squeezed away the water child and the little earth. “What are you two doing? You should take care of some official business. There’s not much to look at staying by Master’s side.”


    “Qiuqiu, why did Masta be an ermine!”


    “Qiuqiu, when exactly can Mastae back into her own body?”


    “Soon, soon, ten days at thetest!” The little treant deadpanned.


    Qiuqiu’s head got clobbered as Mo Lian roared at him, “You’re saying five days, then seven days, then ten days! I’m telling you, five days at thetest. If Qiaoqiao doesn’t recover, I’ll throw you to…”


    *Whoosh.* Qiuqiu thought of something and hastily picked up the little ermine, bringing her Fish Orchid. “You guyse along with me! Master should go cultivate her spiritual conscious in Fish Orchid. It will shorten the time too!”


    Sure enough, he had just picked up the little ermine.


    Qiaoqiao’s soul, which had been floating in mid-air to cultivate, drifted after the little ermine.


    Mo Lian had long known how unreliable this little treant was.


    However, this was the first time Duan Yue got to know about this fellow’s temperament. He walked next to Mo Lian and asked, “Does that misshapen tree have something to do with the sacred wood?”


    “You’re saying that one?” Mo Lian swept a nce over at that lousy tree bundle that had been following his littledy the entire time. He exined curtly, “That is Qiuqiu’s tree seed fragment. Strictly speaking, it should be a part of Qiuqiu.”


    “But only when Qiaoqiao returns to her own body can Qiuqiu digest this tree seed fragment and be one with it.”


    Duan Yue nodded. “In that case, that tree that attacked us in the icebound snow territory was actually just wanting… to get close to Qiaoqiao?”


    It even fought for Qiaoqiao. No wonder that weird tree had been at odds with him the whole time and just ran off after kidnapping her!


    Duan Yue strolled a circle through Fish Orchid with Mo Lian beforeing out together. He was greatly astonished by this littless.


    ***


    After the rough and tiring events of the previous night, the empress and several consorts had gotten sick.


    Therefore, the emperor ordered that they continue staying several more days in this Pingshan Town. They would start heading back to the capital once the empress’s body improved.


    One dayter, Qiao Mu woke up and looked expressionlessly at the three little ones that were squatting in front of her.


    The water child was the first to stick out its transparent and chubby arms, pouncing over while calling out, “Mas…”
