"Sister, wait!"
Lu Jue quickly stopped them, then explained seriously, "For this seed to break out of its shell and grow, it needs a drop of your blood, sister."
A drop of blood?
Yun Zheng was slightly stunned. She had never heard that planting trees required shedding blood. The weirdness of this request was too obvious. Was Lu Jue sure that she would not expose his plan?
Or, has he already put all his eggs in one basket?
Asking her to donate a drop of blood voluntarily...this is absolutely impossible!
After all, she couldn't guess what unknown things the other party would do with her blood.
Yun Zheng directly asked, "Why use a drop of blood?"
Lu Jue slowly explained, "Sister, you have lost your memory. It doesn't matter if you can't remember. But if you plant a tree here, you must water it with your blood or my blood. Only then will the seed have life."
"Then I'll use yours." Yun Zheng said slowly.
Lu Jue was stunned. He wanted to say something but stopped himself, with a hint of darkness in his eyes.
"Okay then." He had no choice but to agree, then cut his finger with a knife and squeezed out a drop of blood, which instantly covered the black seed.
The blood was absorbed by the seed, but no further changes occurred.
Yun Zheng immediately filled it with soil.
She clapped her hands together and looked down at the young boy, "I'm done teaching."
The implication was that Lu Jue should give her the red pendant.
Lu Jue frowned slightly, avoiding eye contact with Yun Zheng, and said weakly, "But the saplings haven't grown yet..."
Yun Zheng smiled. "Wait until the saplings grow? But didn't you say that if I'm willing to teach you how to plant trees, you'll give me this red pendant?"
Lu Jue seemed to weigh the pros and cons before finally deciding, "How about this, Sister? Listen to me tell you a story, and I'll give you this red pendant after I finish."
"story?"
"Well, it's a very old story."
"How ancient can it be?"
Lu Jue raised his eyes and looked at her. "It is said that this happened tens of millions of years ago."
"Then tell me about it." Yun Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lu Jue's expression brightened slightly, "Sister, please wait for me first."
After he said that, he ran towards the simple house and quickly moved two stools out of the house.
Lu Jue came back panting, holding two stools in his hands. He handed one of the stools to Yun Zheng, who raised her hand to take it and looked at him with an unclear look.
Lu Jue put down another stool and sat down next to Yun Zheng.
Lu Jue looked at Yun Zheng solemnly, his eyes pleading as he said, "Sister, I'm going to tell you a story now. No matter what happens while I'm telling it, I hope you... won't interrupt me."
"Okay." Yun Zheng nodded. She had a vague feeling in her heart that the story Lu Jue was going to tell next was very likely the cause of this illusion.
Lu Jue's eyebrows curved.
He slowly recounted, "A long, long time ago, a god was born. His birth brought a unique power to the world, a power later known as ghost power. When the god was born, he was like a baby, lacking any sense of responsibility or emotion."
"Because of this, he seems to be born from an evil god."
"In that land, there were many gods who showed their love and care to that god, but he simply couldn't understand and distanced himself from them. He was withdrawn and lonely. The only person he cared about was the Lord God who ruled over the divine realm. Since his birth, he had always heard that he was able to be born because of that Lord God."
"He has always wanted to meet the Lord God, but the Lord God only appears once every ten thousand years, and each time he appears, he just shows his face."
"However, the first time he saw the Lord Divine, he couldn't help but want to prostrate himself before her, wanting to be closer to her. Perhaps he was born because of her, so he regarded her as his only emotional support. He believed that the Lord Divine was his only relative in this world."
"But, Lord Divine Master doesn't think so."
"The Lord God treats all gods the same way, except for that demon god. The Lord God seems to treat the demon god differently. She smiles at him and even talks to him."
"He wanted to get closer to the Lord God, so he chose a way to get closer to the Demon God."
"Later, he successfully approached the Demon God. Through the Demon God, he was able to officially stand before the Lord Divine. The Lord Divine stroked his head for the first time, making him feel an unprecedented warmth. It seemed as if the emotions he had lost were gradually being restored."
"Moreover, the Lord God also made him the God of Thunder."
"He wanted to be closer to the Lord God, so he often fought with other gods to attract the Lord God's attention. This did attract the Lord God's attention, but the Lord God didn't care, as if it was a common occurrence."
"He was deeply disappointed, so he decided not to fight. Gradually, he became the most unpredictable god in that land, and he grew closer and closer to the Demon God. He would do whatever the Demon God asked him to do, as long as he could see the Lord God."
"The Demon God once asked him: Why are you so obsessed with meeting the Lord God?"
"He pondered for a long time. Perhaps because the ghost power he carried was cold and lonely, he longed for a pair of warm hands to caress his head, to show him the way, to tell him how to grow, to tell him how to walk the road ahead, and what his responsibilities were."
