Zhen Xiu was observing the tree when it suddenly moved and jumped fifty meters away from its initial position and grabbed the fruits hanging on the other tree. It was not one...five...ten...but it swallowed the entire tree in his mouth which came out suddenly in the middle of the trunk.
After eating a few more trees around it which contained juicy fruits, the humongous tree played cheerfully.
Whenever the tree approached other small trees they shrunk their entire branches aside to show their fear but still, the leaves fluttered to go near it.
At first, Zhen Xiu could not understand the contrasting behavior of the branches and the leaves but after carefully scrutinizing the path of that enormous tree she saw something magical.
The position of other trees which were gobbled up by that humongous tree was filled with a special green concentrated liquid. The quant.i.ty was little but it gave a very fragrant aroma which in few seconds turned into leafy plates and new shoot emerged from the concentrated leafy ground.
"Is this mysterious tree capable of giving life? Was this legendary tree of life?"
Zhen Xiu was astonished and confused. The behavior of the tree was violent as it directly pummelled the area around its fellow food but strangely it converted into a more beautiful sight where more lifelike trees were coming out of the ground.
The tree was behaving like a child who was playing with his food.
Zhen Xiu was struck with thunder as her mind interpreted the performance of the huge tree.
It was behaving like a child.
Child!
f.u.c.k!
It could not be him.
Zhen Xiu was dumbstruck. This was not possible. She was not ready to confirm the truth.
How can a human have a tree as a sibling?
Lu Jian, her beautiful and immortal husband has a tree as his brother.
Wu!Wu! It can"t be!
Oh, devil!
"No! It can"t be. It"s so wrong."
Her mother in law cheated with a tree?
Was he not a celestial?
The taste of Lu Qiqi was sure great. Umm...wild...Zhen Xiu"s horrified eyes were thinking about her poor father in law"s face when he saw all of this with his own eyes.
Lu Qiqi was terrible!
Zhen Xiu was in a state of confusion as she could not make heads and tails of this situation.
In her dream was a little boy crying for help, not a gigantic naughty tree.
"I could be wrong. The behavior of this tree and the resemblance of a child does not prove that it is the person I am looking for. Yes! This must be the case. Lu Qiqi could not be that depraved and hungry for physical fulfillment."
Zhen Xiu rolled her eyes in disgust as if the visuals in her mind would tarnish her physical body.
The huge tree was finally tired and willing to move from this place. It entered inside the forest with great speed that the observing Zhen Xiu could not even see from her position.
If it was before she would not have stayed behind but now things word difficult and different. She has to be cautious even if the tree looks like a child.
She could not tell whether the tree was a carnivore or a pure vegetarian while choosing his food.
Her knees trembled after sitting so long in the same place for hours.
The appet.i.te of the tree was not small. It ate according to its body size. He has cleared two-third of this place in just two and a half hours.
Despite its huge size, the tree was able to quickly leave the area which caused Zhen Xiu"s earlier action of sitting and waiting to utter failure.
She could not follow his movements and also was not able to track his trail.
It was a futile attempt.
Zhen Xiu was frustrated. It was the first time that she felt her skills were not good enough to grant her everything.
She crossed the last point where the tree was visible to check anything strange.
There was not anything special as she just saw the huge puddle of concentrated liquid left by the tree whenever he uprooted the other trees for his food.
The amount was larger there as compared to the others.
"Could it be its p.o.o.p?"
She tried to smell the liquid before picking it up for further investigation. Anyway, she didn"t know the way of returning back so it was best to find out everything she could in the meantime.
Contrary to her suspicion there was no foul and dirty smell coming out of the liquid so she decided to collect it.
The greenish liquid changed into a jelly-like substance as she picked it in a jade box. It was a special box meant to keep things in its original state.
Zhen Xiu was trying to find the abnormality in the remaining portion on the ground after keeping some inside her s.p.a.ce.
The enormous tree that went ahead before some time ago was back and just like Zhen Xiu was glancing at her from the distance.
His huge branches were trying to hide the inner bright green leaves that were excited to meet the newcomer in this lonely place.
Hyyyaa!
Shyyaa!
The rustling of leaves was sounding like a peaceful lullaby in nature. Zhen Xiu was immersed in her search when she heard the sound at that moment. She turned around to see who was behind her back and was ready to attack the scoundrel.
Just as she was about to release her aura she was bewildered and almost screeched in embarra.s.sment.
The humongous tree was standing just there and like her was peeping at her.
What was this situation?
Zhen Xiu was astounded.
Didn"t the tree leave moments ago?
Why was it back?
Most importantly, why was it giving her this scary look and covering its leaves from her?
Was she scary in its eyes?
Zhen Xiu was mistaken as the tree was being hesitant and was shy to greet her.
It had noticed her presence long ago but didn"t dare to pull her out from her hiding spot.
It was waiting for her to come out on its own and meet him that"s why it ran away before as its jumping was not working enough to attract her.
The moment she sat and picked his undigested liquid was he able to come back again to look at her.
Hyyaa!
