When Wu Hua and Tengteng saw Qin Luo return, they leaped into her arms.
"Luo Luo, I thought you'd be busy for a long time to come!"
Qin Luo hugged it tightly.
"No, of course I wanted to come see you as soon as I knew you were awake. How are you feeling? Still sleepy?"
Wu Hua shook her little head.
"I'm not sleepy anymore! Before, I always felt weak and sleepy, but now I've received a lot of power of will and faith, and I've accumulated quite a bit of merit! The whole beast feels energetic now, Luo Luo, thank you!"
"Silly boy, I didn't do anything. It was all your own doing. You worked so hard growing food in the space, so I was able to send it to disaster victims and ordinary people. The food you grew saved so many lives!"
"Really? Do they like what I grow?"
"They love it! They absolutely adore what you grow!"
Wu Hua was overjoyed to hear everyone praising her.
They insisted that Qin Luo go see the Bodhi tree they had planted earlier!
Qin Luo stared wide-eyed, stunned, upon seeing the Bodhi tree that was a head taller than herself.
Wu Hua's expression was quite proud.
"Luoluo, look how fast it's growing! Actually, I find it strange too. After I woke up, it suddenly grew taller, as if it was happy for me!"
Qin Luo circled the Bodhi tree several times, looking it over but finding nothing amiss.
"Little one, do you sense anything is wrong? Like your energy being drained, your life force being pulled away, or something?"
Wu Hua looked at her chubby belly and plump limbs.
"No! My little one is still the same healthy little one! What's wrong, Luo Luo?"
Qin Luo looked at the Bodhi tree in front of her with suspicion.
"I suspect it's draining your energy to grow so fast! Baby, do you think it might be an evil entity?"
Wu Hua covered her mouth with her little animal hoof and chuckled.
"Hahaha~ Luo Luo, you're so funny! If it were an evil entity, it wouldn't even be able to enter this space. Besides, it's a seed from a Buddhist Bodhi tree, baptized by Buddhist light countless times. If it were evil, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago!"
Qin Luo still had some doubts.
"Then how can it grow so fast? Could it have mutated?"
Ouch!
Before she could finish speaking, she was whipped on the backside by a branch of the Bodhi tree.
Qin Luo was startled, then became even more suspicious.
"Little one, look! I told you it mutated! It's starting to understand human emotions, just like Tengteng!"
When the vines saw the Bodhi tree withering, they immediately used their vines to wrap around the entire tree.
They were just waiting for Qin Luo's order to uproot the bad-tempered sapling and grind it into dust!
Wu Hua told Qin Luo to quickly retract the vines, and then checked the Bodhi tree several more times.
The once lush sapling had had most of its leaves torn off.
Now it's sparse and scattered, like a peacock that has lost its feathers, it's terribly ugly!
Wu Hua, hands on her hips, flew to Tengteng's side and pinned it down with a hoof.
"You stinky vine, how could you be so violent? Look at Titi, you've beaten all the branches off! How is this little tree girl supposed to face anyone now?"
Tengteng pulled the vines out from under the hooves and climbed up Qin Luo's arm, looking rather aggrieved.
It seems to be complaining: "Luo Luo, look at it! I'm protecting you, and it still steps on me, waaaaah!"
Qin Luo stroked it reassuringly, then asked Wu Hua with a puzzled look.
"Son, are you hiding something from me?"
Wu Hua flew into her arms and rested her little head on her shoulder.
"No, I just felt so sorry for it. Its mother tree was burned to death, and it lost its home! I think it's a lot like me, so I wanted to be nice to it!"
Qin Luo felt a pang of sympathy for it upon hearing this and gently stroked its little head.
"I see! Then let's take good care of it from now on!"
"Great! We even named her Titi; she's a mischievous little girl!"
Qin Luo looked at Wu Hua and the Bodhi Tree with a gossipy expression.
"Oh, you naughty little girl! It's quite a coincidence that you two are both auspicious. Perhaps you knew each other in a past life, were reincarnated, and miraculously met again in this life..."
Wu Hua's embarrassed shout
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? Luo Luo, you won't let me read storybooks, but have you been secretly reading them yourself?"
Qin Luo quickly shook her head in denial.
"No, no, I was just kidding. Can it transform? When will it transform? And why did it hit me?"
Wu Hua shook her head dejectedly.
"I don't know when it will transform, I don't even know when I will transform myself, but it probably hits you because it wants to play with you, just like Tengteng, isn't that cute?"
Qin Luo suddenly remembered where the Bodhi tree came from and tentatively asked Wu Hua.
"My little one! There's a very important question. Titi will be returning to Fuhua Temple eventually. You're the one who created it, so will you...?"
Wu Hua acted very casually.
"I know! We both have different missions, we understand that from birth, so you don't need to worry about me being sad!"
Qin Luo kissed its little face.
"I'll always be with my little one!"
Wu Hua giggled at the amusement, and Tengteng also extended her vines towards her.
Qin Luo kissed it too, and Tengteng immediately stopped feeling wronged.
He had entangled Qin Luo and Wu Hua with himself!
The Bodhi tree stood alone, its bare branches drooping.
Like a bullied child...
Qin Luo played around with Wu Hua and Tengteng for a while!
Walk to the Bodhi tree and reach out to touch its trunk.
A pure wood-based magical energy entered the trunk of the Bodhi tree.
