Ling Hong's neck was stuck on the corner of the table, and she quickly begged for mercy: "Ling Yan, Ling Yan, I was just joking with him, you don't have to do this. Speaking of relatives, you are the closest to me, A Ying is not your relative."

Wasn't he going to die?

Why is his mental strength still so strong?

Does that mean that after he was cut in half, he was so vulnerable and unable to fight back?

wrong!

If he had strong mental power and physical strength, he wouldn't be so weak unless he was about to die. When A Ying was still on Baiguo Star, she was very powerful in resisting him in conjunction with other companion spirits.

Now Ah Ying is so weak that he can't be hit. If he hits him, he can step on his neck and make him kneel down and beg for mercy without any dignity.

So... is the Spirit Eye so powerful because it's burning its own life force?

"You merely grew from my roots." The spirit eye pressed down hard on his neck: "Aying is my companion spirit, a companion spirit second only to my master, understand?"

“I don’t understand.” Ling Hong perfectly embodied the stubbornness of a tree: “Master, Master, the master you have waited for for more than 3,000 years, I have seen her, I have tried her, she is just a little more powerful than the average human, and there is nothing special about her.”

“You said that Aying is second only to your master in your heart. If that’s the case, Spirit Eye, give Aying to me and let him be my companion spirit. I’m only 2,000 years old, and he’s also over 2,000 years old. He’s more suitable for me than you, who are over 7,000 years older. You’re not suitable at all.”

As soon as Ling Hong finished speaking, a cracking sound was heard, and his neck broke.

A broken tree, aside from the pain—like being burned or cut by a knife—won't kill you; at most, it makes you temporarily resemble a dead tree.

Lingyan tossed the broken-necked Linghong to the ground, his handsome face as cold as frost: "Whether I am seven thousand years older or ten thousand years older than him, he is still my companion spirit."

“I had thought before that if I died, I would let him be your companion spirit and live on. He didn’t want to. I kept thinking that even if he didn’t want to, he had to live. I couldn’t let his soul be scattered and I couldn’t let him die with me.”

“But you, Linghong, you hurt him. When I took you away and planted you beside me, and he carefully watered and removed pests for you every day, you still stepped on his neck and hurt him.”

Ling Hong, whose neck had been broken but healed, got up from the ground, her heart pounding like thunder. She opened her mouth and explained impatiently, "Ling Yan, I was really just joking with him. Otherwise, given his current mental state, I could kill him in a minute."

"Back on Baiguo Star, I had many opportunities to kill him, but I didn't. I let him go each time. Isn't that enough to show how special I was to him?"

If he had known that Lingyan would give Aying to him, he wouldn't have done these stupid things and would have just waited. Now... he really regrets it. He hopes that Lingyan won't go back on his word. He regrets it.

"Too late!" Lingyan stood with her hands behind her back, flicking her sleeves. "I regret it, Linghong, I regret it!"

Ling Hong stood before him, the same height as him, and looked about six or seven parts alike. One wore a green robe, the other a red robe; one exuded a gentle and refined aura, the other a sinister and wicked presence.

Ling Hong said anxiously, "Since you've made the decision, why regret it? You're not allowed to regret it."

"Why can't I regret it!" A sarcastic smile slowly crept onto Lingyan's lips: "Linghong, get this straight, he's mine, he's my companion spirit, the companion spirit that has been with me for over 2000 years."

"And you are just an extra branch from my roots. I've already been kind enough by not killing you when you were born and letting you grow by absorbing my nutrients."

"You can't go back on your word like that..."

“I was polite to you, but you were not polite to my A-Ying at all. You hit him, you stepped on his neck. Don’t you know that the neck of a companion spirit is the most vulnerable?” The Spirit Eye interrupted him, its cold voice leaving no room for negotiation: “Although my A-Ying is over 2,000 years old, he has never been in contact with anything else. I was stupid to think that you would change for the better, but not only did you not change for the better, you became even worse.”

"So, I don't trust anyone with Ah Ying, and I'll worry about anyone else having him as their companion spirit. I'm not at ease with either of them. Rather than that, I'd rather take him with me when I die. If he's willing, I'm willing too. After all, no one in this world understands his needs better or cares about him more than I do!"

Ling Hong was so angry that she jumped up and down, and hurriedly said, "Ling Yan, I understand him, and I care about him too. Otherwise, I would have killed him long ago. Why would I have waited until now?"

“I know that the companion spirit’s neck is fragile. I only used a little bit of force to step on him. If I had used all my strength, his neck would have been broken long ago, and he would have died long ago.”

"Since you've actually considered giving him to me, then keep that thought. I promise you, I promise you, I will treat him well and regard him as my companion spirit. I will work hard to cultivate and become stronger, so that he can become more powerful, okay?"

Lingyan's sarcasm grew stronger: "You don't even believe what you say yourself, so why should I believe you, Linghong? Disappointment doesn't happen overnight, it happens every day."

"You say you're good to him and will work hard to cultivate yourself and become stronger and more powerful, but you take no action whatsoever, and I can't see any sincerity in you."

Ling Hong's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "I'm sincere. I'll show you my sincerity. I'll show you that I treat him no less well than you. Just wait, just wait, I'm going to infuse him with my spiritual power right now! I'm going right now!"

Ling Hong ran out, then ran back, hugging Ling Yan tightly: "You have to keep your word. As long as I treat him well, you'll give him to me, and you won't take him to your death!"

After saying that, Ling Hong released Ling Yan and ran away without looking back.

Lingyan slowly turned around and looked towards the door, but he could no longer see him. He lifted his foot, walked to the door, and closed it.

The instant the door closed, his face turned as white as snow, without a trace of blood, and his neck and cheeks shimmered with the uneven bark of trees.

He could no longer stand, and collapsed to one knee, supporting himself with one hand on the ground and clutching his chest with the other, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His face, neck, hands—all the exposed skin on his body was covered with rough, uneven tree bark, except for the bloodstains on his mouth…

“My tree is dying, but he won’t let me know!” Jiang Si stood at the door of the Spirit Eye Room and whispered, “And I know I can’t break down the door and confront him!”

“The situation isn’t the worst yet, there’s still hope!” Agares said softly, reassuringly beside her, “I’ll check the ancient texts again; there’s always a way.”

Jiang Si snapped the ginkgo tree branch she had cultivated into dust: "I can't cultivate ginkgo trees. The ginkgo tree I cultivated isn't him."

"Grafting, grafting, he has consciousness and his own thoughts. If the grafting is successful, if he can replace him, if he is selfish, then what use is Ling Hong?"

She was wrong, really wrong.

The reason why the Spirit Eye is the Spirit Eye is because he has lived for more than 10,000 years. He lived for more than 7,000 years on ancient Earth in China and for more than 3,000 years in the Abel Galaxy.

He has lived for over 10,000 years, witnessing the vicissitudes of life, the passage of time, the changing of mountains and rivers, and the passing of generations of people, things, and events. He has seen more than anyone else, and he understands more than anyone else.

If he could survive, if he had a way to survive, he wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die, he wouldn't give up his companion spirit, and he certainly wouldn't deliberately provoke that stupid tree, Ling Hong, to be nice to A Ying!

“Jiang Jiang…”

"Shut up!" Jiang Si interrupted Agares in a low, irritable voice: "Don't call me. Go tell 520 to go full speed ahead and get to the Fourth Civilization as fast as possible."

Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"

What does a "tool" say?

You got scolded by your aunt, didn't you?

Serves you right!

“Alright!” Agares’ dark eyes flashed. “I’m going to the cockpit now. I’ll pilot it myself. You come with me now, but don’t let the Spirit Eye find out that you know he’s unwell!”

Jiang Si was persuaded and followed Agares to the cockpit.

The massive ship operates in autopilot mode, controlled by AI 520.

Agares sat in the cockpit, personally taking control. The speed of flight and the ability to jump were both faster than artificial intelligence.

Jiang Si didn't sit on the sofa, the stool, or the passenger seat. Instead, she walked towards the roc's nest, where the two rocs and the snake had made the ship their home.

Wherever the view is good, wherever you can see more stars and the sea, that's where they move me, they really don't consider themselves outsiders.

The roc's nest was exceptionally large, and the snake's nest was not small either. The two rocs and the snake seemed to be competing to see whose nest was bigger.

Jiang Si looked at their nests and finally chose the roc's nest. Its nest was very large and filled with feathers, a thick layer of feathers.

She plucked the largest roc out with one hand, while the smaller rocs inside the nest spread their wings as if beckoning, "Master, master, come quickly into my arms."

Roc: "!!!!"

That's its nest, its nest, its bird, its bird.

Why should we take its nest, its birds?

Jiang Si had just nestled inside, preparing to lean against the little roc's wing, when she felt something hard beneath her. She reached down and touched it, and lo and behold, she found an egg, an olive-green egg.

Roc: "!!!!"

That's its nest, its nest, its bird, its eggs.

Put its eggs down quickly, or it will peck her to death.

The little roc stretched its neck and chirped, as if saying, "Look, look, master, master, this is my egg, my egg, my egg."

Jiang Si twirled the egg in her hand, which was slightly larger than a goose egg: "You two are quite efficient. You didn't lay an egg on Bixu Star, but you laid one as soon as you came up here. Is this your only offspring?"

The little roc pointed to its head, "Just one, just one, just one egg."

Jiang Si poured out her spiritual energy, enveloping the roc's egg: "Eugenics, you guys are pretty trendy!"

The roc shamelessly moved its big feet and rubbed against the ground, hoping to glean some spiritual energy.

The little roc caws and puffs out its chest, proclaiming the importance of eugenics and raising only one child.

Ginger Egg had already snuggled into the snake's den, and the large snake coiled like a mosquito coil was a tool snake, rolling around on its body.

Agares modified the driving system, increasing the system's driving speed authority, upgrading the AI ​​520, and connecting the autonomous driving system to his own personal computer.

After he finished all this, he handed the driver's seat over to the artificial intelligence for automatic driving. He left the driver's seat and went to the window. There he saw a roc perched outside the nest, staring longingly at the uninvited guest sleeping in its nest, leaning against the baby roc and holding its egg.

Agares tried to get closer, but the enormous snake head lunged at her, as if to say that if he came near, if he touched her, it would devour him.

Ginger Egg stood on the giant snake's head, wobbling like a roly-poly toy, mocking its Uncle Dog.

Did you think your aunt was alone?

Indeed, there was no one around Auntie.

But she possessed two birds, a snake, a willow branch, and a knife.

Most importantly, she also possesses a Sea Dragon King egg that is destined to roam the stars and the sea.

Even without any other creatures that don't open their mouths, this alone is enough to give Uncle Dog a hard time.

Agares couldn't get close to his little wife or touch her. He was thinking of negotiating with the serpent when, unexpectedly, the serpent coiled around him, taking the Garuda, the little Garuda, and the nest inside its body.

Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"

It's none of its business; it didn't cause this.

It was just an innocent bystander watching the show.

Agares frowned, stared at the snake for a long time, then concentrated a huge ball of spiritual energy to envelop his little wife and the snake together.

Having done all this, he sat down on the ground, turned on the holographic projection, which displayed four screens at once, and began to invade the Orc database, the Fourth Civilization database, the Merfolk database, and search ancient books for everything related to trees.

The night was deep and quiet, and there was no sound on the boat.

Spirit Eye returned to normal, opened the door, and the robot at the door held up a cup for him: "Spirit Eye, this is water from your master. Drink it."

Spirit Eye reached out and took the black cup handed to her by the robot: "Thank you, you've worked hard."

The robot blushed slightly: "No need to be polite. My master told me to watch you finish drinking. Drink up, I need to record this for my master."

The spirit eye cannot eat human food, but it can drink water. Its master told it to drink, so it naturally drank, opened the cup lid, raised it to its mouth, and took a sip.

His pupils constricted, and he quickly put down the cup. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the cup contained blood—his master's blood, the blood his master had given him to drink.

Seeing him stop, the robot urged him, "Spirit Eye, drink it quickly. Your master told you to drink it quickly and gulp it down, or she will be angry."

"Where is Master?" Spirit Eye asked, holding the cup.

The robot replied, "I'm sleeping. After you finish drinking the water, go to sleep too. Drink quickly, I still need to send a video to my owner. Drink quickly."

Lingyan tightened her grip on the cup, her hand trembling slightly as she lifted it and drank the blood in one gulp. After swallowing the blood, Lingyan's complexion gradually became rosy, and even her long hair regained its luster.

Seeing that he had finished drinking, the robot reached out its tentacles and took his cup: "Alright, Spirit Eye, you can go to the plant pod to sleep now, goodbye!"

The robot left, and only then did Lingyan realize what was happening. He quickly went to the plant pod, where many of his companion spirits were asleep. He had originally intended to find Aying to ask if his master knew he was unwell, but he saw Linghong lying in his tree pit, holding Aying...
