Achun's body is very big.
When first seen in the Five Flowers Illusion, Achun's body was just normal size with lush branches and leaves, but now his body is dozens of times larger than what was seen before.
But the tree is not lush and green, instead it looks a little withered.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but frown.
"Does Emperor Qiuhe have any doubts?"
Since she came here openly, she did not ask anyone to retreat when the Immortal King followed her. This was also to avoid Xu Kong from becoming suspicious of her.
Now that he heard this, he did not hide his confusion.
"I think the tree seems to be withered."
"In reply to the Immortal Emperor, this tree has already developed spiritual intelligence. The spirit is not inside the tree, but if the spirit is harmed, it will be reflected in the tree itself."
The words were confusing, but Xu Qiuqian understood them.
This means that Achun's body withered because his soul was hurt? But she looked back once before and saw that Achun was not hurt.
Either Achun concealed the fact that he was injured, or this person was lying.
But Xu Qiuqian prefers the latter.
Compared to outsiders, she certainly trusts her own people more.
“But there are exceptions.”
"Exceptions?"
"Yes." At this point, the Immortal King seemed to have thought of something, and hesitated to speak, as if he was afraid of something.
"Just tell me, I'll be responsible if anything goes wrong."
After hearing her words, the Immortal Lord heaved a sigh of relief and then said, "I am not very clear about the details, but I know that the Immortal Emperor values this tree very much and sometimes even comes to investigate the situation in person. However, the withering of trees is not uncommon, and the Immortal Emperor also said that this is a normal phenomenon."
Normal phenomenon...
Why is it normal for trees to wither?
"What else?"
"The rest of my subordinates are not sure either."
Xu Qiuqian was a little disappointed. It seemed that the Immortal King didn't know much either.
What should she do then? Suddenly, she remembered something: "Do you know who knows this tree best besides the Immortal Emperor?"
"I do know this. I don't know who knew the tree best a long time ago, but the one who knew the tree best in the past ten thousand years should be a man named Chen En under the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor thought highly of him at the time and often came to check on the tree's condition. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened some time ago, and Chen En disappeared and never came back..."
Didn't come back? Who was the fox with only half of its tail left that she had someone take away just now? She couldn't have made a mistake, it was Shen En.
So there is only one possibility, that this immortal king does not know that Chen En is a nine-tailed fox beast, and has never seen Chen En's true form.
"I see."
What she didn't expect was that it was Shen En who knew Achun's true self best.
It seems that she still needs to go see Shen En again.
Thinking of Shen En's unconscious appearance just now, Xu Qiuqian frowned.
If I had known, I would have asked more about Shen En just now.
But there's no rush.
In the following time, Xu Qiuqian did not take the initiative to ask about Chen En's affairs, until one day the immortal who was in charge of taking care of Chen En came hurriedly.
"Immortal Emperor, that fox is going crazy and dying!"
Only then did Xu Qiuqian stand up.
"Take me there."
"yes."
Came to Shen En's residence.
It was called a residence, but it was just a remote and dark corner. Shen En had a rope around his neck. There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body. The blood had coagulated on his body and there was almost no good fur to be seen.
"How did he become like this?"
She clearly remembered that when she saw Chen En before, although he looked injured and dirty, his injuries were not that serious.
So all the injuries on his body were caused during this period of time.
As soon as the words fell, the two immortal servants who were responsible for serving Shen En knelt down tremblingly.
"Immortal Emperor, please spare my life. Immortal Emperor, please spare my life. We thought that the Immortal Emperor hated this beast, so..."
So at the instruction of the Immortal Lord, they tortured him every day.
Anyway, the Immortal Emperor has spoken, as long as you don’t die, it’s fine.
Xu Qiuqian didn't care, but just asked: "Did you beat him so hard that he went crazy?"
“No, no.”
This beast allowed them to beat and scold him before he lost consciousness, but now he suddenly seemed to regain consciousness and go crazy.
After listening to the fairy servant's words, Xu Qiuqian turned his gaze to Shen En on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the fox that was mad just now suddenly calmed down after seeing Xu Qiuqian, and its breath became weaker and weaker.
"The Immortal Emperor said he can't die." After explaining, Xu Qiuqian said impatiently: "Send him to my palace, I will save him."
The immortal servant and the immortal king responded quickly.
After sending the fox into Xu Qiuqian's palace, they withdrew.
Inside the hall, Xu Qiuqian exchanged healing pills from the Void Mall and fed them to Shen En’s mouth.
Whether it was the Immortal Emperor's order or because she had something to ask him, Chen En could not die for the time being. Unexpectedly, when the words were handed to him, Chen En did not open his mouth, but just closed his eyes and breathed weakly.
Xu Qiuqian doesn't have much patience.
"Since you recognized me, what's the matter now?"
She didn't expect that her disguise skills fooled the Immortal Emperor but not Chen En. But she could understand it if she thought about it. Chen En's magical powers were similar. When he was in Xiyue Continent, Chen En could even tamper with the memories of those cultivators.
Plus, animals are naturally more sensitive to scents and smells, so she wasn't surprised when they recognized her.
Hearing this, Shen En's eyelashes trembled, and half of his tail shook involuntarily, but he remembered something and stopped halfway.
"Eat it, the Void said you can't die."
Xu Qiuqian lost his patience and stuffed the pill directly into Shen En's mouth.
After the pill entered his mouth, Shen En's condition was indeed much better, and his aura was stronger than before.
But it still didn't open its eyes. It was clearly awake, but it didn't dare to open its eyes. You can tell the reason without thinking.
Xu Qiuqian sneered.
"You regret it now? Don't worry, I won't kill you. If the void doesn't allow me to kill you, I will naturally spare your life."
Perhaps something in this sentence touched Shen En, and Shen En slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were red and filled with obvious guilt, but Xu Qiuqian was not moved at all.
"You can kill me." His voice was also extremely hoarse. "I am sorry for you and all of you."
Xu Qiuqian remained calm about this.
The damage has been done, there is no point in saying sorry again and again.
"You don't have to say sorry. I just want to ask you one thing. If you can tell me the answer, I will forgive you for everything you did in the past."
Anyway, the damage has been done, so let's just call it quits.
Shen En's eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Qiuqian.
Xu Qiuqian continued, "Ah Chun's true body... is the tree I want to take away. How should I take the tree away?"
