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.

Slap!

The vines slammed against the ground, breaking the surface and hurling small rocks into the air.

Wang Teng squinted when he saw this happen.

The vines rebounded, moving to the air after touching the ground. Then, they turned and rushed to stab the young hero. The sharp tips were akin to long spears covered in white light. All of them were aiming for his vitals.

Wang Teng squinted and a crimson colored sword of universe-level appeared in his hand.

Swoosh!

He made a downward move and reddish fire force made a sharp sword glow, sweeping towards the vines along with scorching heat.

All the vines were instantly chopped. The vines remaining shrunk back as if having met their mortal enemy.

The tree lady’s face was gloomy. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

At the same time—

The vines also went after Ferya. She used Light Bolt to shuttle back and forth like a ray of light.

The vines moved and intertwined as they hurled themselves at Ferya. Unfortunately, she was too fast; the vines had cast a massive net, but the girl was still able to move, free and with ease. The creepers couldn’t even touch her clothes.

The vines became entangled after some time. They squirmed furiously, but they couldn’t untie themselves.

Ferya changed back into humanoid form and clapped her hands as if dusting off. She looked at Wang Teng proudly.

“Hahaha, interesting. That method is good.” Wang Teng laughed.

Ferya snorted arrogantly.

The gaze of the tree lady flickered as she asked, “Who are you?”

“Why? Are you afraid?” Wang Teng looked at her and smiled.

“Both of you are quite powerful. I’ll give you one chance to come under my wing,” said the lady in a calm voice, “Join me and I’ll bestow great power upon you.”

“Hahaha…” Wang Teng burst out laughing, as if the offer were a great joke.

“Why are you laughing?” The lady in white frowned.

“I’m laughing at your ignorance.” Wang Teng stopped laughing and his smile disappeared completely. He said, “Give us power? You?

“How can you hand out power with that weak ability of yours? Where did you get your confidence?” Ferya stared at the lady in white in astonishment. The idea was absurd.

Critical Hit × 2!

The lady in white was fuming because of the humiliation. Her face turned green and hideous.

She was the Mother of Light on that planet. All living creatures treated her like a goddess. Never had she endured such a humiliation!

How dare these two nobodies look down on me!

“You’re tempting fate!”

Her cold voice resounded with immense anger. She gradually rose into the air and floated above the spiritual tree. A powerful energy began to radiate.

Boom!

The impact was so powerful it swept through the peak in an instant.

Universe stage!

The move was of universe grade!

Wang Tengs quinted but he wasn’t surprised. He guessed that the spiritual tree had reached that cultivation level after getting the Light Origin inside the ‘seeds’.

“It’s a spiritual tree with universe stage power! Amazing!” Ferya was dumbfounded when she felt the fluctuations. Her expression looked wary as she said, “Oh no, did we anger her?”

“There’s still time to run,” Wang Teng said.

“Why don’t we run together?” Ferya replied, fearful.
