Astray 378

Xu Ziyan looked as if he’s thinking, “the hell I would believe you!”, while the other two also showed an expression of unkindness. The old tree was also quite embarrassed. Since he had been trapped there for too long, he had long forgotten how to communicate normally with human beings..

“Cough, cough, cough..” The old tree coughed violently again, and Xu Ziyan was worried that if he continued coughing like this, he would make the light curtain door on the tree canopy fall down.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. The old tree just changed the topic by coughing, “I am about to die, and the death energy in my body is increasing day by day. While the death energy on my side is getting stronger, the vitality on my brother’s side will be getting stronger too. Have you seen those little guys by the way?” He gestured backwards, signaling to the little people.

There was an indescribable sarcasm on the old tree, “it was all made by my brother. Heh, instead of being a good tree, he prefers to be a human being. Does he really think that there is anything good about them?!”

Xu Ziyan & Xu Zirong & Tianle: == My knee hurts a bit!

“Uh..I didn’t mean you.” The old tree probably realized that he had said something wrong again and his face turned red.

Xu Ziyan was already unable to complain about the old tree’s ‘bluntness’, and now he just wanted to know as soon as possible what the old tree wanted them to do.

As soon as this question was asked, the old tree immediately answered straightly, “it’s nothing actually. We are twins, and our lives are bound together. Although I am about to die, I won’t die just like that. Instead, I will slowly fall into a deep sleep. For me, there is no difference between this deep sleep and death..” The old tree suddenly showed a very sly smile, “but I don’t want to die alone, so I hope you can set me on fire and I can then die with my brother.”

Xu Ziyan: ..Damn it, what a blockbuster movie of brotherly love and hatred.. Damn, this is true love, even when you die, you have to drag your brother with you..

Inexplicably, Xu Ziyan shivered, and he felt a hot gaze on his back..

He turned his head with a stiff expression and he saw his little brother with clinginess disease staring at the old tree, seemingly quite pitiful.

Xu Ziyan: == Forget it. When I was with this little manic back then, I was already expecting this result. It’s only that none of them ever mentioned about dying together for their love.

“Brother..let’s help them.” Xu Zirong said sincerely. “Look how good the relationship between the two brothers is. I am sure you don’t want them to separate, do you?”

Xu Ziyan was without any facial expressions as he knew that it would be like this!

One would be naive to think that Xu Zirong was helping the old tree out of pity. He was going to help only because the old tree was attempting to destroy itself.

Self-destruction = will die = no threat!

It was the equation in Xu Zirong’s mind. If the old tree proposed to be in love with Xu Ziyan, would Xu Zirong agree so enthusiastically?

“Well, this little friend is really kind-hearted, and I don’t want you to take action for nothing, so this is for you.” The old tree raised a branch and handed over three head-shaped fruits.

Xu Ziyan & Xu Zirong & Tianle: ! ! ! Damn, what does this mean?

Seeing their terrified faces, the old tree quickly explained, “don’t be nervous. This is called a human-faced fruit. It looks ugly but it tastes quite nice actually.”

Xu Ziyan: Hehe..who the hell would eat such a damn thing!

The old tree continued, “actually, the biggest function of this is to feed the wronged souls, but I don’t see any ghost cultivators among you, otherwise I wouldn’t have just wanted to taste the three of you.”

Tianle rolled his eyes, “is this good for ghost cultivators?”

The old tree nodded.

“And it tastes good too?”

The old tree nodded again.

Tianle waved his hand, “alright then. Then it’s all mine!”

While picking the fruit, Tianle was trying to imagine his master’s expression when he received these “good stuff”. And the more he thought about it, the happier he was, and he couldn’t help but let out a weird laugh..

The old tree silently wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his head and was wondering whether he’d been closed there for too long. Otherwise, how come the smile of those human cultivators is so disgusting..?

“We will also give you our share.” Seeing that Tianle had already picked the only two heads on the tree, Xu Ziyan quickly gave away his share and that of Zirong. He thought, “what the hell, who is gonna take such a disgusting fruit?!”

“Then I will help myself.” Tianle giggled, as he also felt that Xu Ziyan and the others would not accept this kind of thing.

“Okay. Since we’ve collected your fruit, it’s fine for us to help you set a fire.” After Tianle put away those heads, he turned around and was about to light a fire under the roots.

The old tree was taken aback by his sudden move, quickly waved the branch and shouted, “wait a minute!”

“What’s the matter again?” Tianle squinted his eyes, “do you know that once I make a move, I might gain hundreds of spiritual stones? Don’t make me waste my time, okay?”

Xu Ziyan covered his face silently and thought, “what a real maniac. The last second he was about to pick the fruit and the next second he’s already pissed up.”

The old tree smiled helplessly, “you should wait for me to get the door down..at the beginning, my brother put in a lot of effort to get the door up. Aren’t you worried that I’ll set the door in fire by accident too?”

“You’re right.” Tianle nodded in agreement, then found a corner and sat down, holding his chin and looking at the old tree.

Old tree: ..

Tianle waved impatiently, “what are you waiting for? Hurry up. I told you I’m in a hurry.”

The old tree was utterly speechless. He silently glanced at Xu Ziyan, expressing a thought with his eyes, “are you going to do something with this maniac or not?”

Xu Ziyan and him looked at each other, then turned his face away with guilt, “you said that he’s a maniac, so who could do anything about it once he acts up?”

Old tree: ..

The old tree turned his head and looked at Xu Zirong again, who also looked at him expressionlessly.

The old tree was silently heartbroken. He was sad to see so many crazy human cultivators. He really didn’t understand why his brother wanted to become a human so much..

There was no need to repeat what happened next, and the old tree didn’t make any demands either. He just silently removed the light curtain door from the crown of the tree.

Of course, there was also a confrontation between the giant tree and the old tree. However, since the two sides were one, their strength was naturally equal. It’s just that the old tree didn’t want to live anymore, so it directly burned its original strength to snatch the control of the branches. The giant tree in front did not expect that the old tree would die with him, and the light curtain door was already snatched away by the old tree.

Next, with the help of Tianle, a raging fire ignited on the old tree, and Xu Zirong even kindly provided a lot of materials to help burn the fire. historical

The fire originated from Tianle’s magic. With his cultivation level as a nascent soul and the cooperation of the old tree, such a huge tree completely turned into ashes in just half a quarter.

When the giant tree disappeared, the group of little men also fell to the ground one by one. They weathered and annihilated in a very short period of time, leaving no traces at all.

“Let’s go.” Xu Ziyan looked at the flying ashes all over the ground and sighed silently. Although he never liked those little people, it’s still quite depressing to see so many lives gone so quickly.

“Brother, I will always be with you.” Xu Zirong took Xu Ziyan’s arm and said very seriously.

Xu Ziyan was stunned for a while, then realized that his brother had sensed his feelings through the blood contract and showed a slight smile.

“Brother, don’t worry. No matter where you are, I will always be with you.” Xu Zirong repeated. “I will be my brother’s family and lover..so, brother doesn’t need to worry about those irrelevant people, you just need to care about me.”

Xu Ziyan was quite touched when he heard the first part, but after listening to the second half, his feelings completely changed.

However, with Xu Zirong’s interruption, he felt a lot more relaxed. He couldn’t help but suddenly made a sneak attack, pinched Xu Zirong’s cheek with his hand and pulled hard——

A beauty becomes a clown in a second!

“Hahaha..” Xu Ziyan couldn’t help laughing out loud, ruffled Xu Zirong’s hair vigorously, then walked into the light curtain door.

“Hey, is your brother okay?” Tianle looked at Xu Ziyan’s back with horror, as if he had just met this person.

Xu Zirong rubbed his red cheeks, glanced at him and answered briefly, “this is our little fun.” Afterwards, he followed his brother into the light curtain door.

Tianle: .. Damn, you really deserve to be my good patient friend, as you even successfully infatuated your brother! I should feel ashamed about it!

Tianle touched his chin as he thought that brotherly love sounded too attractive. But..what could he do without a brother? Or he could try a master-disciple relationship?

As soon as he thought of his own idea, he immediately thought of his phantom-like, pale looking master..

He silently gave up on this ridiculous idea. Although the idea of forbidden love sounded tempting, he didn’t want to die so early..after all these years, anyone who’s interested in his master didn’t survive.

Tianle perceived himself as a stylish maniac, so he would never disrespect his master! o(￣ヘ￣o*)[show a fist!]

(Master Ghost Cultivator: Hehe, it’s all because you cannot beat me!)

Xu Zirong followed his brother to the next continent, and as soon as they entered, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

“Be careful.” Xu Zirong only felt that he was hugged by a familiar person.

Then, an extremely hot flame erupted around him, which seemed to be ejected from below. If Xu Ziyan hadn’t acted fast enough, Xu Zirong would definitely have been hit.

“This is..” Xu Zirong looked up and saw the continent like a sea of flames.

This was not a description, but a real sea of flames. The ground below had no soil at all, just a flowing magma.
