Zhou Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The little tree no longer continues to fade, which means it will not die... right?
"Thank you, thank you, Master!" A soft voice sounded in Zhou Yuanyuan's ears.
"Xiaoshu? Can you speak now?" The surprise came so suddenly that Zhou Yuanyuan was a little at a loss.
It was the first time that Zhou Yuanyuan heard Xiaoshu speak such a long speech. Could it be that Xiaoshu had experienced a life-and-death crisis and even his ability to express himself in language had evolved?
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking about it. Anyway, this was a good thing.
"Master, now, the little tree is... your real little tree. Hehehe..." The green tree laughed happily. At the same time, the green tree stretched out a thin branch and rubbed it in Zhou Yuanyuan's palm.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt a new connection between her consciousness and the green tree. Huh? The green tree actually recognized its master? How come she didn't know about this when it happened? Zhou Yuanyuan was a little confused.
After recognizing its master, the green tree is connected to Zhou Yuanyuan's consciousness.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt it carefully. Well, the vitality of the green tree was still a little weak, but it would not die. That was great!
"Master, the little tree is tired and wants to sleep." The green tree yawned.
"Go to sleep! Sleep well and sleep until you wake up naturally." Zhou Yuanyuan gently patted the twig.
Zhou Yuanyuan had been a laurel tree spirit for many years and knew that the best way for plants to recover after being injured was to sleep. After waking up, even the most serious injuries would be healed.
Encouraged by Zhou Yuanyuan, the green tree happily retracted its branches and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Yuanyuan touched the trunk of the green tree lovingly. The green tree had just risked its life to help her and Brother Ziqing!
"Master." Xiaoyu raised her head and called out pitifully at Zhou Yuanyuan's feet.
Just now, when Xiaoyu stopped Zhou Yuanyuan from saving the little tree, Xiaoyu felt Zhou Yuanyuan's dissatisfaction with it.
Xiaoyu didn't dare to stop her and could only watch as Zhou Yuanyuan poured the entire bottle of life-giving fluid into the tree's roots. The tree was saved, and Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to a bottle of life-giving fluid, the tree was clearly far more valuable.
For the first time, Zhou Yuanyuan ignored Xiaoyu's call, put on a stern face and walked away.
"Master, are you angry?" Seeing this, Xiaoyu quickly ran forward and hugged Zhou Yuanyuan's feet.
"Xiaoyu, do you know why I am angry?" Zhou Yuanyuan stopped, took a deep breath, and suppressed the irritability in her heart.
"Master, Xiaoyu shouldn't have stopped you from saving the little tree." Xiaoyu lowered her head, tears dripping onto the ground.
Did its master dislike it? Was it going to be abandoned by its master like Kong Ming? Xiaoyu's heart was filled with fear.
Zhou Yuanyuan sighed and squatted down.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Xiaoyu had no selfish motive in stopping her from giving the life fluid to Xiaoshu. Xiaoshu's life fluid would be of great benefit to Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual growth. Xiaoyu's reluctance to give it to Xiaoshu was also out of consideration for Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Xiaoyu, those life fluids originally belonged to the little tree. I'm just returning them to it today." Zhou Yuanyuan felt that the most important thing she should do was not to get angry, but to have a good talk with Xiaoyu.
"But that was given to us by Xiaoshu. Can we take back something that was given to someone else?" Xiaoyu blinked her big round eyes, a little puzzled.
Huh? This is totally different, right? Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little overwhelmed.
The little tree itself did not ask Zhou Yuanyuan to return it, but Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't take the life-giving fluid given by the little tree and enjoy it herself while watching the little tree die, right?
Xiaoyu is a know-it-all when it comes to cultivation, but when it comes to being a human being, she hasn't really reached the passing line.
Zhou Yuanyuan scratched her head and said something else, "Xiaoyu, put yourself in my shoes. If it was you instead of Xiaoshu who was seriously injured and dying today, and I had something that could save your life but was reluctant to give it to you, what would you think?"
"Xiaoyu is injured because she is useless. The master's things belong to the master. It is reasonable not to save Xiaoyu!" Xiaoyu still didn't understand Zhou Yuanyuan's logic.
Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. How could Xiaoyu be so selfless in her service to her master? She didn't even feel resentment?
"Master, don't worry. Not only Xiaoyu, but even Zhuzhu wouldn't dare to covet your things. Otherwise, Heaven would have to punish it." Xiaoyu thought Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that these spiritual treasures would "rebel", so she quickly made a promise.
“······” Zhou Yuanyuan was speechless.
Well! She was too stupid, often forgetting Xiaoyu's true nature. It was a spiritual treasure, not a human. She was here to teach a spiritual treasure how to be a human. What else could she be but foolish?
However, we can't just watch our little friend continue to be ignorant.
Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it, but still didn't give up.
"Xiaoyu, have you ever thought about what life is? What is the meaning of life?" Zhou Yuanyuan coaxed.
"Life?" Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said doubtfully, "Master, life is life! What else could it be? The meaning of life... Xiaoyu's purpose of existence is to serve you well."
Xiaoyu racked her brains and finally came up with an answer.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know how to continue. Could it be that when Heaven and Earth created Xiaoyu, they simply instilled in her the idea of loyalty to her master?
"Xiao Yu, there is no distinction between high and low lives. Every life is a gift from God. Every life is an independent individual. Every life should live out its own splendor. Every life deserves to be treated well and cherished. Xiao Shu, you, me, and Zhu Zhu, why do we work hard to cultivate and live? It is to live out our own splendor!" Zhou Yuanyuan felt her blood boiling when she said this. She couldn't help but stand up and waved her fist.
"Every life is a gift from God, every life is an independent individual, and every life should live out its own brilliance..." Xiaoyu murmured Zhou Yuanyuan's words several times.
"Master, Xiaoyu understands. In addition to serving you, I also need to be wonderful in my own life. Master, I also want to be a human being like Xiaowen, is that okay?" Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
Just now, Xiaoyu saw Xiaowen transform from a ball of anger into a living person. To be honest, she was also very envious.
"Xiaoyu, you want to be a human being? Of course you can! However, being a human being is not easy. There are many things to learn. First of all, you must learn to have a compassionate heart. If others are good to you, you should repay them with kindness." Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiaoyu finally had her own "pursuit".
"Then...what if others are mean to Xiaoyu? Should Xiaoyu be nice to them as well?" Xiaoyu has a strong desire for knowledge.
