Chapter 377

Xu Ziyan felt really troubled. He really wanted to beat Tianle up, but from Xu Zirong’s perspective, who knows what would happen with the next world?

Tianle was undoubtedly a very powerful cultivator. Although he’s a 100% maniac, it’s still not so obvious when he’s with his sick mate Xu Zirong.

It’s too wasteful to just throw away such a powerful booster, or…should Xu Ziyan simply offer him something to eat?

Xu Ziyan hesitated for a second before making a decision. Instead of wasting time like this, it’s better to get something to feed him…

“Here you are.” Xu Ziyan rummaged through Mr. Little Square, found a few pieces and handed them to Tianle.

“What is this?” Tianle looked blank.

“For eating!” Xu Ziyan said decisively, “didn’t you say that you’re hungry? Eat quickly, you still have to climb a tree afterwards.” After speaking, he raised his chin towards the dead tree.

Compared with the front giant tree with luxuriant foliage, it was much easier to find the light curtain door on the one at the back. Among those dry branches, there was nothing more conspicuous than a bright red light curtain door.

Tianle looked at the ‘thing’ in his hand and asked with a strange expression, “Is this edible?”

“Of course! Are you looking down on my cooking skills?” Xu Ziyan sneered and thought, “if this guy dares to say yes, I would simply throw the whole bottle of straw jam on his face.”

Tianle looked at the stuff in his hand, swallowed it with difficulty, and was about to open his mouth under Xu Ziyan’s staring gaze——

Whoosh!

It’s gone.

Tianle: =口=

Xu Ziyan: =口=

Xu Zirong held his sandwich with a resentful look and said quietly, “my brother promised me that he would only cook for me. I can still tolerate it when he cooks for master Luo, Wei Qing…but how can he be qualified also? Why can he eat what my brother cooks?!”

Xu Ziyan: _(:3」∠)_Damn it, why does this maniac have to pick this time?!

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, and persuaded him nicely, “Zirong, listen to me…this is urgent…”

“It doesn’t matter! From now on, my brother can only cook for me, and I won’t even take it for master and Wei Qing either!” Xu Zirong’s look got darker and darker and it’s very obvious that he’s not happy at all.

“Zirong…” Xu Ziyan wanted to persuade him again, but Tianle approached him at an incredible speed, then took a big bite of the sandwich that Xu Zirong was holding!

There was a gap with the shape of a half-moon- bitten into the square sandwich…

Xu Ziyan: =口= A disaster is coming!

Tianle chewed hard for two bites, and after swallowing the food, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, “it’s so delicious!”

Xu Ziyan: …hehe, I really want to thank you! You just created big troubles for me!

Xu Zirong stared at Tianle coldly, who continued to stare at the sandwich as if he hadn’t realized anything. However, he knew that it’d be impossible to have another bite with Xu Zirong’s presence. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑏𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

For this reason, he regretted that his mouth didn’t grow a little earlier, otherwise he would be able to eat a little more.

Xu Ziyan stared at Xu Zirong in fear, but unexpectedly, his expression gradually softened from coldness. Then, he gradually became aggrieved and his eyes turned red.

Xu Ziyan: Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this scenario!

“Brother…you don’t love me anymore…” Xu Zirong accused him sadly. “You didn’t do what you promised me.”

When he heard the first sentence, Xu Ziyan wanted to defend himself, but he immediately retreated upon hearing the last one.

After all, it was still the mistake that he made at the beginning. He thought that it’s fine to make promises in front of a kid, yet there was actually a sicko hidden in this kid.

He hesitated for a while, endured the embarrassment and pulled Xu Zirong into his arms. He comforted Xu Zirong softly and promised him that he would never do it again.

Xu Zirong buried his face in his brother’s arms, hugged his waist tightly and whispered something in his ears.

Xu Ziyan’s body was stiff for a moment, but he soon relaxed and nodded silently.

After a while, he managed to completely comfort Xu Zirong. When the sweet smile appeared on that face, Xu Ziyan instantly felt relieved and his mood improved significantly.

But as soon as he turned his head, Xu Ziyan silently rubbed his forehead, as he seemed to have agreed to something strange just now.

—Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

Xu Ziyan looked up to the sky like an ostrich…

After Tianle had eaten and drank enough, Snowball just finished the task of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, leading a group of little people back along the way. Just like what those old, weak, sick and disabled did before, even the young ones did not dare to approach the back of the giant tree.

“Okay, since everyone is back, let’s go.” Xu Ziyan gave Snowball and Pink Hair each a five-elemental spiritual fruit, then stuffed them back into Mr. Little Square.

Usually, all the fruits lent by the little divine tree were collected by itself, and it would never give them to anyone, except Xu Ziyan.

Although dragon sons had no need for the five-elemental spiritual fruit, Snowball especially liked its taste as a super foodie.

The spiciness of fire attributes, the sweetness of water attributes and the mellowness of the earth attributes…to conclude, any good stuff that others used to increase his spiritual power would become a delicious meal for Snowball.

If there were outsiders, they would definitely complain that it was a waste, and they would want to snatch the spiritual fruit back from Snowball immediately. However, for Xu Ziyan, much of his level of cultivation came from the broken dragon’s soul, and he naturally had to pay back for the dragon son after taking so many benefits.

Tianle wiped his mouth, and under Xu Zirong’s stare, he finished eating fifteen sandwiches in one go.

He even shamelessly packed away twenty of them and said that he had to share them with his master…

Xu Ziyan: _(:3」∠)_, I’ve heard that ghost cultivators still need to eat. For such a small amount of food, Tianle, you’ve worked really hard.

After completely satisfying all the needs of Tianle, they could finally leave.

Xu Ziyan was about to head towards the top of the tree when he suddenly heard a very old voice, “cultivator, please stay here.”

“Who is it?!” Xu Ziyan shouted, looking around vigilantly.

At this time they were about to leave the continent, and he didn’t want to make any mistakes.

“Brother? What’s the matter?” Xu Zirong immediately opened a huge blood net and protected Xu Ziyan in it.

It was the old voice again, “cultivator, don’t be nervous. I don’t have any bad intentions.”

Xu Ziyan became even more vigilant when he heard so. Was he even going to believe that? He thought, “let time prove whether you have bad intentions or not! Who would believe that you’re just there to make friends since you’re hiding?”

Xu Ziyan expanded his divine consciousness as much as possible, but he still couldn’t find the source of the sound even after searching for ten miles around.

That old voice seemed to be right next to his ears. Xu Ziyan didn’t believe that anyone could get near him without being noticed.

One at least had to be a deity cultivator to achieve that level, but when a deity cultivator faced a nascent soul, he didn’t have to play tricks like that at all.

Therefore, he felt that it was very likely to be someone with a special secret technique that could cause such an effect by speaking to him from a distance.

“Cough, cough, cough…” The old voice coughed violently for a while, and the voice became weaker, “Don’t be surprised, cultivator, I am indeed very close to you, um… In fact, if someone stepped on my leg just now, I would have just slept forever, so…indeed thank you.”

Xu Ziyan choked suddenly: stepped on his foot???

He glanced down silently, and there was also an open space under the giant tree on the opposite side, but unlike that small village, there was nothing under this dead giant tree, only a few splinters in a few places…

Only a few!!!

Xu Ziyan rubbed his forehead with a headache, then took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and looked at the dead giant tree.

Sure enough, after Xu Ziyan turned his head, a branch with a few spots of green skin moved with difficulty—or more accurately, they trembled.

“Eh…I think I’m going to die, it was a pleasure to know you.” On the trunk of the giant tree on the opposite side, an old man’s face gradually emerged. There was a sense of relief on it.

“What’s going on here?” Xu Zirong stared at the tree’s face coldly, while still holding the blood net tightly. Many spikes appeared on it. Xu Zirong decided that once the dead tree moved, he’d immediately wrap him with the blood net, and those spikes would surely hurt him.

“Huh… I know you are leaving.” The old tree let out a long breath, “but before you leave, can you do me a favor?”

“What do you want us to do?” Xu Ziyan asked cautiously.

He was doing so for their interests. First, their path to leave the continent was still hanging up there, and the risk of revealing his true temper would thus be too high.

One could tell that he’d lived for many years just by looking at the appearance of the giant tree. Perhaps he had some unrevealed skills, and he might accept Xu Ziyan’s requests if the latter asked politely.

The old tree smiled, which looked absolutely peculiar as it’s a squeezed smile on a dead bark.

“It’s really nothing…” The old tree’s face showed a bit of nostalgia, as if recalling his past memories, but soon he broke free from the memories, looked at Xu Ziyan and the others seriously, “I can feel you carrying an aura from the underworld. This aura does not belong to you, yet it lingers around you, presumably since you possess some kind of underworld treasures.”

Seeing Xu Ziyan staring at him vigilantly, the old tree suddenly realized that what he said just now seemed to be a bit wrong, and he seemed to be interested in his treasure. He immediately coughed, “don’t worry, I am dying anyway, how could I snatch away your treasure…”
