The lush and dense treetops block out the sun like a canopy.
But the tree was not shrouded in shadow.
The tender green grass swayed, and tiny points of light rose from the plants, diffusing throughout the space.
"Longlong, let's go back."
Chi Sui lowered his eyes, looking at Long Xi's bandaged wrist. His voice was a little muffled and nasal, "For some reason, I don't trust the Holy Tree."
Long Xi shook his head: "I have already sacrificed all my blood, even though it is less this time, but if I don't try, wouldn't it be a loss?"
Chi Sui was a little depressed.
That makes some sense.
So she sighed and looked up at the old tree. The trunk of the tree was very thick, about ten meters in diameter, and the leaves were willow-shaped, some dark, some emerald green, but no light green.
Chi Sui was a little confused: "Didn't they say that your blood can bring the sacred tree back to life?"
Long Xi took Chi Sui's hand and motioned Chi Sui to follow him.
On the other side of the trunk, a thin branch less than one meter long emerged from the roots of the holy tree.
Long Xi pointed to the branch and said, "This is what grew after my first blood donation."
"Although it grew, it quickly stopped growing and even turned yellow and withered along with the entire tree."
Chi Sui looked at the tender green branch, which showed no signs of yellowing or withering, and a bold guess flashed through his mind: "Could it be... that it looks so vibrant because of your blood donation this time?"
Long Xi nodded.
The two sat down next to the note.
"Longlong, let's start blessing."
Chi Sui didn't want to stay here for long, even though it made people feel inexplicably relaxed.
Long Xi thought for a moment, then reached for his wrist again. Chi Sui quickly grabbed it and asked, "What are you doing?"
Long Xi raised his eyes, his expression somewhat serious: "I can feel that what I prayed for in my first blessing will definitely come true."
"So I was thinking, maybe if I bleed a little more and bless it a second time, that might be enough..."
"no."
Chi Sui frowned and said firmly, "No."
"Longlong, I don't want to see you get hurt again."
Long Xi lowered his eyes, and when he saw the determination in Chi Sui's eyes, he smiled softly and nodded obediently: "Okay."
"In fact, every living being that comes before the Holy Tree can pray for its blessing."
"But the sacred tree may not respond."
Long Xi squeezed Chi Sui's fingers and said, "I donated blood only to ensure that what I prayed for would come true."
Chi Sui raised his eyebrows: "So you want me to try it too?"
Long Xi also imitated Chi Sui's expression and raised his eyebrows: "It would be a waste if you don't try."
Chi Sui chuckled and said, "Okay."
"Then teach me how to pray for blessings."
“Put your hands on the tree trunk, close your eyes, and silently recite your wishes in your heart.”
Long Xi stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the tree trunk.
Then he closed his eyes, and Chi Sui saw that the scattered light spots on the ground suddenly gathered together and surrounded him.
Chi Sui stared at the scene in a daze, pursed his lips, and nervously put his hand on the tree trunk.
She thought.
If there really are gods here...
[God, please bless Long Xi.]
The moment Chi Sui closed her eyes and made a wish, countless small points of light gathered around her.
Is this the blessing you want?
An old voice, indistinguishable between male and female, echoed in Chi Sui's mind.
Chi Sui's eyelashes trembled [Are you talking? ]
It's me.
[Chi Sui, is this the blessing you want? ]
Chi Sui closed his eyes and nodded. [Yes.]
[Please bless Long Xi, so that he will be healthy and worry-free in the future...]
The voice did not answer her.
Just when Chi Sui thought the blessing had failed and was about to open his eyes, the voice sighed again, "Whatever you ask for for others, you will have to bear the consequences. Even so, are you willing?"
Chi Sui pursed his lips.
The two people closed their eyes and prayed for blessings under the tree, and answered silently at the same time: "I do."
No one knows their aspirations except the Holy Tree, and neither do they know each other.
At this moment, both of them gave the same answer.
A thick green light condensed from the foreheads of the two people, then flew towards each other at the same time, and at the same time, sank into each other's eyebrows.
When she opened her eyes again, Chi Sui felt inexplicably relaxed. Although she didn't know why, she just felt that what she had asked for seemed to have been fulfilled.
She showed the only relaxed smile she had in such a long time. She turned to look at Long Xi and found that he was looking at her with the same smile on his lips.
"dragon……"
Before Chi Sui could finish his words, he felt a cold touch on his wrist.
She was startled and looked down, only to see that the branch that had grown from Long Xi's blood was actually wrapped around her hand as if it had life.
Along with its roots, it was slowly pulled out from the huge root system of the sacred tree and coiled around Chi Sui's wrist in a snake-like shape.
There was a flash of green light, and the branch transformed into a scribbled bracelet.
Chi Sui realized something. She turned to look at Long Xi and saw that Long Xi didn't seem surprised.
At this moment, Chi Sui understood something.
What Long Xi wanted was probably to find something to restrain the black energy in her body.
The Holy Tree clearly stated that if you do something for others, you must bear the consequences. So, has this branch that was irrigated with Long Xi's blood become a treasure that can restrain the black air because of the cause and effect that Long Xi requested?
"How is it? Did the sacred tree respond to you?"
Hearing Long Xi's question, Chi Sui subconsciously chose to lie: "No."
Long Xi was stunned for a moment, and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, this tree is sometimes effective and sometimes not anyway..."
"cough!"
Chi Sui is like this, he lies to say bad things about another person, and Long Xi helps him to complain for the sake of emotional value. The most dramatic thing is that the person being complained about is right next to them!
Chi Sui felt extremely guilty and quickly pulled Long Xi to his side: "Let's go, let's go quickly."
Chi Sui pulled Long Xi with some force, causing him to stagger a step. Then, he was dragged away by Chi Sui with a confused look on his face.
After walking a long way out of the sacred tree, Chi Sui suddenly realized and asked, "Oh, where is the exit?"
Long Xi pointed to the tree trunk behind him: "Next to the tree trunk."
Chi Sui: …………
Shit! This is even more embarrassing!
So the two of them walked back to the tree trunk in silence, and then left through the arched doorway formed by the branches hanging down next to the trunk.
When he felt the warm rays of the sun, Chi Sui subconsciously held Long Xi's hand tightly.
Because the place where the two left was the place where Chi Sui entered before.
In front of the two of them, Amara was standing there, somewhat afraid to look into Long Xi's eyes.
When Long Xi felt Chi Sui's inexplicable tension and obvious disgust towards Amara, he subconsciously looked at Amara.
When he saw Amara's evasive gaze, Long Xi's back stiffened and a very bad premonition swept over his heart.
