Smack smack...
Zhu Yan's fluffy body shifted slightly, seemingly enjoying its meal, its eyes half-closed in a comfortable manner.
Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai took two steps toward the hibiscus tree, placing their fingers on the tall and straight tree.
Smack smack...
Zhu Yan continued eating the banana with relish, glancing at Bai Xizhu's fingers with narrowed eyes, and then continued smacking her lips.
Go ahead and touch me!
Bai Xizhu glanced at Zhu Yan, knowing that it had given her permission to touch the Fusang tree.
So, Bai Xizhu silently drew her dagger.
The sharp dagger was pressed against the base of the blade.
She wanted to cut off a piece of the root and plant it in the space, so that there would be a hibiscus tree in the space in the future!
"roar--"
Just as Bai Xizhu was about to make her move, Zhu Yan couldn't hold back any longer and barked twice at Bai Xizhu.
The voice carried a strong warning tone.
Humans, don't go too far!
Just touching it is fine, what's with the idea of cutting it?
Bai Xizhu paused for a moment. Zhu Yan looked stupid, cute, and ugly, but when it got angry just now, Bai Xizhu felt an overwhelming pressure.
It was like a beast from ancient times; the mere aura it exuded was enough to fill Bai Xizhu with a sense of awe.
Bai Xizhu silently put down the dagger, and gently tapped Zhu Yan with her long, slender, fair fingers.
A pile of bananas appeared out of nowhere in front of Zhu Yan, almost burying him in it.
It was visibly that Zhu Yan's aura instantly diminished considerably.
"I only need a tiny bit of the root; it won't affect the growth of the sacred tree."
Regardless of Zhu Yan's inability to understand Bai Xizhu's words, Bai Xizhu still explained it to Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan watched the knife in Bai Xizhu's hand warily, his eyes involuntarily glancing furtively at the fragrant bananas around him.
He swallowed hard.
"roar!"
Zhu Yan roared angrily, using great restraint, and pushed the pile of bananas with its fiery red claws.
Transaction failed!
Bananas are delicious, but the sacred tree is unique.
Bai Xizhu raised her eyebrows.
Despite his menacing demeanor, Zhu Yan's eyes were still unconsciously drawn to a pile of bananas.
Very well, it seems there's still room for negotiation.
Bai Xizhu's fingers twitched again.
Bananas appeared once again in front of Zhu Yan, piling up from the ground all the way to the branch where Zhu Yan was sitting.
Zhu Yan's chubby, fluffy body swayed, and it almost fell off the tree because it was not very steady on its feet.
Their fierce eyes gleamed.
At this moment, it no longer remembered what the sacred tree was; its eyes were only on the bananas.
The banana had just been eaten and was full of vitality; compared to the sacred tree, it tasted even better.
Zhu Yan looked at the mountain of bananas and suddenly made a decision. He looked at Bai Xizhu with a serious expression.
Humans, I'm sticking with you from now on!
Zhu Yan grabbed several bananas with its chubby, furry paws, turned its back, and refused to look at Bai Xizhu.
The smacking sound came again.
This time, it didn't even look at the dagger in Bai Xizhu's hand.
Humans, do whatever you want!
Even if the sacred tree is gone, it's no big deal. I'll just lead my monkey troop to eat you all out of house and home!
Seeing that Zhu Yan was no longer paying attention to her, Bai Xizhu quickly used a dagger to dig a hole at the base of the hole.
The roots, teeming with life, were exposed.
Its roots twist and turn, spreading very far and wide, deeply embedded in the soil.
The sharp dagger cut through the root, revealing sap that emitted a faint green glow.
Bai Xizhu sent a section of root, about the thickness of a wrist, into her space and planted it beside the small river formed by the flowing spiritual spring water.
As soon as it was planted, Bai Xizhu could feel a powerful life force taking root and sprouting in the space.
Bai Xizhu couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth turn up slightly.
In this life, she truly made up for all her past regrets.
She was determined to live peacefully and recklessly in the apocalypse with her family!
Bai Xizhu touched the cut root with her fingers, and clear water flowed from her hand, washing over the roots of the hibiscus tree.
Then they reburied the hole they had just dug.
The divine tree still exudes a rich vitality, and the benefits of the severed root section far outweigh the drawbacks compared to the newly obtained spiritual spring water.
Zhu Yan smacked his lips while secretly glancing at Bai Xizhu's fingers.
Seeing Bai Xizhu bury the soil back, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to eat with even more gusto.
Let's go!
Bai Xizhu looked at Leng Yebai and walked outside with him.
Their goal is the Fusang tree; whether it's the roots or the entire Fusang tree, it's all the same to Bai Xizhu.
As long as it is planted in the space, it will eventually grow into a hibiscus tree that can reach the sky in a very short period of time.
Leng Yebai nodded slightly, stepping back a step from Bai Xizhu to protect her from behind.
Zhu Yan paused slightly when he saw Bai Xizhu about to leave, and his fluffy nose twitched twice.
I will always remember the taste of Bai Xizhu.
Having obtained the roots of the Fusang tree, the Bai family said nothing more. The imposing aura emanating from Zhu Yan just now was indeed unsuitable for a fight.
This outcome is already the best that could be achieved through bribery.
As the sun began to set, the Bai family took one last look at the lush hibiscus tree before them.
Nature is truly amazing; it has nurtured everything that humankind can never fully understand.
After expressing their feelings, the Bai family members turned and started walking down the mountain.
