The old man sat on the ground, reminiscing about the past, and his headache and leg cramps disappeared.
He said slowly, “The tree above her head is a sacred tree! That tree shouldn’t be above her head, because she is not a sacred tree at all; she has another identity.”
Gu Jinghuai said coldly, "Get to the point."
The old man: "..."
The old man continued, "She was the witch, the infamous war goddess known to all. In that great battle, the witch sacrificed herself to protect the world, her soul scattered."
Tuantuan touched the top of her head: "So Tuantuan used to be a tree?"
The old man gave a bitter smile, sighed, and said, "No, you are not a tree. The reason why a divine tree grew on your head is because it carried a portion of spiritual power and protected your primordial spirit, allowing you to be reborn as a human. After undergoing tribulation, you should be able to return to Kunlun."
Return to Kunlun?
Tuantuan became sad at the thought of leaving home.
The little girl sniffed and shook her head sadly: "Tuantuan doesn't want to go back. Tuantuan doesn't want to be the God of War, nor does Tuantuan want to be a deity. Tuantuan just wants to be Daddy's good girl and Brother's little sister. Tuantuan just wants to be with Daddy and Brother. I don't want to go anywhere."
The old man never expected that he would see the witch's human cub again, and in such an adorable way.
Damn it, he almost got tricked by the witch again!!
Who are you trying to show your sadness to!
The old man vehemently denied that he was charmed by her!
In the harshest tone, speaking the most furious words: "Kunlun is your territory. Who you take there is entirely up to you. No cutesy act allowed!"
Tuantuan looked at Grandpa Tree in surprise, then her face lit up with joy: "Then Tuantuan will let Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Aunt all go, and Tuantuan will also bring her best friends along."
Tuantuan looked up at Gu Jinghuai and said in a clear voice, "Brother Jinghuai, Tuantuan will take you with her too."
The old man sneered: "The master doesn't need you to take him; he already lives in Kunlun."
Tuantuan exclaimed, "That's great! Brother Jinghuai, we can be good friends again!"
The old man felt a pang of sadness as he looked at Gu Jinghuai's indifferent expression.
Will his master be able to return to Kunlun alive?
Gu Jinghuai patted Tuantuan's little head, like an older brother doting on his younger sister: "Tuantuan, why don't you go find Uncle Yang first? I'll come find you to play together later."
Tuantuan nodded happily. She was going to find her father and tell him about it.
After Tuantuan left, Gu Jinghuai's expression was quite serious: "You kept calling me master, and you said Tuantuan wasn't a tree. So, my identity is that tree?"
Old man: "!!"
His shocked and flustered expression revealed the truth.
"Since I am a tree, why doesn't a tree grow on my head, but instead grows a round top? Now that things have come to this, what else can't you say?"
The old man sighed heavily before saying, "Master, you are as wise as ever. You are indeed a tree. The witch is alive because you gave her half of your primordial spirit."
The old man hesitated, then Gu Jinghuai frowned and said, "Continue!"
"Since you can all be reincarnated as humans, I'm afraid the Demon Lord has also come to the mortal realm. If a great war is inevitable, do you think it's alright for you not to give your current half-spirit to the witch?"
Only the God of War can defeat the Demon Lord.
Gu Jinghuai felt a sense of relief after learning about Tuantuan's identity and his own mission.
The old man continued, "If we could have dealt with the Demon Lord earlier, you certainly wouldn't have died. Master, you were really too foolish. Back then, to repay the witch for saving your life, you resolutely gave up your primordial spirit for her, and you almost didn't have a next life."
Gu Jinghuai glanced coldly at the old man and said in a firm voice, "I am willing to give up my primordial spirit for Tuantuan because Tuantuan is worthy! Just as you said, if she hadn't saved me, would I still be alive? A life-saving grace must be repaid with a spring of gratitude. I understand such a simple principle, how can you not understand it?"
The old man lowered his head guiltily.
Gu Jinghuai said firmly, "Whether she's a witch or Tuantuan, she's my friend!"
The old man stopped talking. He knew he had said something wrong; he was just worried about his master.
His fate was full of hardships in his previous life, and in this life, he will not be able to die peacefully in his old age.
What a pitiful guy.
...
Tuantuan left the room, ready to go find her father.
That's great! She's going to tell her dad that she can take him to live in Kunlun!
Tuantuan is arrogant: This is my territory, I'm in charge.
As soon as the little dumpling stepped outside, it heard a mechanical voice.
"Hi, little dumpling, come play!"
Tuantuan looked up and saw a female ghost dressed in red hanging upside down in a tree not far away.
In the pitch-black night, the red color on the treetops was so striking that it could not be ignored.
The female ghost had fiery red lips and a face whiter than a flour jar; she was clearly not a normal human being.
Tuantuan stood under the tree, looking at the ghostly thing, and said in a childish voice, "What are you playing? Playing with your dead head?"
The female ghost: "..."
This child actually realized that her head was a dead person's head that had been reattached?
The female ghost jumped down from the tree in a fit of rage. She had a scarf tied around her neck, which was just enough to cover the marks left when the dead man's head was installed.
"Can I talk to you about something?"
The female ghost said with a smile, "I can give you my dead head, in return, can you give me a little bit of your good fortune?"
As long as Tuantuan grants her good fortune, she can use it to rise rapidly in rank and become a vengeful ghost! An unrestricted kind!
However, if Tuantuan gives the female ghost good fortune, it will affect her health and even her fate.
The female ghost, like a kidnapper trying to coax a child, had her eyes gleaming and kept staring at the little dumpling.
Tuan Tuan wasn't afraid; she just stared at the female ghost's head.
When the female ghost saw that Tuantuan was not speaking and was staring at her head, she thought that Tuantuan had agreed, so she directly broke her head off her neck and presented it to Tuantuan with both hands.
A headless female ghost dressed in red stood under the lamplight, making the night even more terrifying.
That's exciting!
She held a head in her hands, her mouth opening and closing as she spoke, her eyes looking at the little baby with a fawning smile.
"Here, you can play for a while. But a good boy will keep his word, so you'll have to give me some of your good fortune later."
Tuantuan shook her head and said in a cute but fierce way, "Auntie Ghost, don't try to fool me. I'm a big kid now. Your head isn't pretty, I don't want it. I can't give you my good fortune."
She wants to be her father's lucky charm and doesn't want to give her good fortune to others.
The female ghost reattached her head to her neck: "Hmph! Such a disobedient child deserves a spanking! I only wanted a little bit of your good fortune, you're being too stingy!"
"You're so mean, Tuantuan doesn't want to play with you anymore." Tuantuan turned to leave.
The female ghost grabbed her arm and shouted angrily, "Trying to leave? No way!"
The female ghost brought Tuan Tuan over and dragged her into the nearby woods.
