CBGC - ch113.3

Du Xizhi has been whipped by the Divine Tree Heart for years, so he knows that there’s barely anything in this world that could harm the little sprout. Now, while stifling the laugh in his heart, he says, "The little sprout admits its mistakes. It says it shouldn't have whipped people indiscriminately. It asks Granny to show magnanimity and forgive it."

The Heart of the Divine Tree, "Who asked you to beg for forgiveness? If this thing doesn't let me go, I'll whip it to death."

It struggles desperately, and Big Bai is even more dissatisfied. This little sapling is just a cluster of light and shadow that it can’t even touch. Although Big Bai could press down on the projection completely by growing larger, it feels completely wrong. And it still dares to move around, and could even whip Big Bai!

Think you're the only one who can use soul attacks, do you?!

As Big Bai's body slowly changes color, the leaf on its forehead also trembles, and a strong air of hostility emerges around it. Du Xizhi's face changes instantly, and the expression across his entire face turns ferocious and terrifying, as if he is affected by Big Bai and has fallen into a berserk state.

The Heart of the Divine Tree twitches wildly, and its branches wrap around each other.

Su Tingyun walks over and pets Big Bai’s one remaining leaf. Big Bai shakes, and its hostility instantly turns into sadness. Poor Du Xizhi then sits on the ground and weeps silently, crying while saying, "Little junior sister, I can't bear to part with you. Where have you been all these years...?"

The Heart of the Divine Tree sapling turns limp and appears extremely dejected. Even Su Lijiang in the Immortal Palace can’t help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart for no reason.

There’s a wounded woman in front of him. She’s trapped in a formation and unable to break free, scars covering her whole body. He recognizes her as the little girl Su Tingyun had once taken care of.

Su Lijiang usually turns a blind eye to others, but at this moment, the trace of sadness in his heart makes him stop in his tracks. He flicks his fingers, and a dot of starlight shoots into the formation's formation eye. Then, Su Lijiang disappears in an instant.

The formation instantly collapses, and Li Xinmei snaps out of her daze. She sits there gasping for air, unable to calm down for a long time.

It turns out that it was just an illusion.

But the loss and pain she experienced there feels just as real. She can’t go on like this. In that illusion just now, she wasn’t even able to protect Granny.

She can’t continue like this anymore. She can’t keep being self-destructive, or remain in despair. Has she spent all those years studying Formations in vain? If she can’t even break an illusion formation without revealing her Qiankun Formation Eye, how could she protect others like this?

Li Xinmei stands up, her eyes much firmer than before. She looks around carefully, finds a direction, and walks out cautiously.

At this time, within the Kunlun Divine Tree, Su Tingyun begs the grieving and melancholic Divine Tree Heart for a lot of its ugly-looking roots, not saying that it’s to make flower wreaths for Big Bai to wear. After stuffing some sticks into its stomach, Big Bai is finally satisfied and moves off the Heart of the Divine Tree, happy again.

The Heart of the Divine Tree realizes it’s been tricked but doesn’t dare to do anything to Big Bai.

The Heart of the Divine Tree is actually very powerful, but it is still young after all. It has only been a few years since it sprouted and became the Divine Tree. Its branches are impervious to knives and spears, and it is not afraid of wind and rain. However, the little sapling inside is still somewhat fragile.

But this is cheating!

Who else can come in, just come in! If it had known, it wouldn't have brought these two troublemakers in. It makes the little sapling so angry that it wants to beat them up, but it is completely afraid to do so.

One has the Heavenly Fire, and the other can infect it with emotions…

The Heart of the Divine Tree strikes Du Xizhi's body with one of its branches. The only one it can bully is Du Xizhi, but even when it hits him, it can't vent its anger at all!
