Kui Kui punched the old pine tree trunk again and again, venting his emotions.
The ghostly face on the tree trunk twisted and contorted, and even its massive body crackled and popped, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Hearing the commotion outside, the guard in the gatehouse instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around himself and muttered to himself, "The wind is really strong..."
Old Song had already given up resisting; he simply couldn't beat this crazy woman in front of him.
He glanced at the moon, only to see a dark shadow streak across the night sky.
Old Pine's mind suddenly became active again.
In a moment of inspiration, he uttered the first word the tree had ever spoken.
"Grandma..."
Kui Kui was burning with rage, and a single orange petal slowly emerged from it.
"You dare mention my grandmother! Go to hell!"
As she spoke, she held the Rainbow Sword, using it as an axe, and made a move to chop it down.
"Aoi?" A familiar voice rang out from above Aoi's head.
Her hand stopped moving, and the orange petal on her forehead also vanished in a flash.
"Grandma!" Kui Kui's eyes reddened again, and she cried as she threw herself into Grandma Wang's arms.
Grandma Wang gently patted her back and comforted her, "Grandma's here, don't cry. You're a big girl now, you can't cry like this."
Upon hearing this, Kui Kui felt a surge of grievance and cried even harder.
Helpless, Old Lady Wang could only change the subject, saying, "Why are you cutting down trees at school so late at night? Look what you've done to this tree, all that's left is the trunk."
Kui Kui wiped away her tears, her pretty face streaked with tears, her red lips slightly pouting, and she said with a mixture of coquettishness and reproach:
“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, but I can’t find you. This tree monster spat out your ghost messenger’s token, and I thought… I thought you were…” Kui Kui said, then burst into tears again.
The crying broke the hearts of both Old Lady Wang and Mo Ye.
The two people stepped forward and offered a long speech of comfort.
The old pine tree is ruined; it's the one that's been pruned, and it's the one who should be crying! Why doesn't anyone care about it?
Don't be fooled by her tearful and frail appearance; she's actually incredibly strong!
Kui Kui was dominated by grief, one of the seven emotions, and cried for a long time before she calmed down and realized her abnormal behavior.
She looked inward at the spirit tree and saw a flower blooming at the top of the tree.
The flower is large, but it has only one petal. The petal is blue, which makes it look even more lonely, and the whole tree exudes a heavy sadness.
The seven emotions arise, while indifference falls.
The good news is that she's acting like a normal person again.
The bad news is that her strength has diminished.
Kui Kui frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.
“Grandma, here is your underworld messenger token.” Kui Kui said, handing over the token.
"Sigh, I'm really getting senile, I didn't even realize I'd lost my token. And you, why didn't you remind me!" he said, tapping the forehead of the ghost face on the tree trunk.
Old Pine: I warned you, I was shaking the pine branches frantically, but you didn't notice...
Old Pine Tree, who cultivates by drawing in evil energy, is not a benevolent person, but judging from Old Lady Wang's attitude towards him, he doesn't seem like a truly wicked one.
Kui Kui trusted Old Lady Wang's judgment, but she was also even more curious.
"Grandma, what's going on with this pine tree? And what about the children?"
"I've already sent those three unlucky kids away. They died a truly unjust death. They ran into some vengeful person on their way home from school. Their lives were over before they even truly began."
"The children's parents are also pitiful, having to bury their children. The Ten Kings of Hell have already arranged for the three children to be reincarnated into their respective families."
"As for this pine tree... it's just unlucky!"
"Kui Kui, have you noticed that almost all the trees on campus are dead?" Old Mrs. Wang didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked Kui Kui.
Kui Kui felt as if she had suddenly returned to her childhood. She nodded, having already noticed.
She inspected the campus twice.
At first, I just felt that the campus had a gloomy atmosphere, but later I found that the place was completely deserted.
She just didn't know whether the problem started with the aura or with the trees.
After all, the aura and the people or things within it are inherently mutually influential.
Grandma Wang looked at the brand-new playground, sighed, and gave her answer.
"A toxic playground, it's harming the trees!"
