Chuzheng must excavate this tree today. The girl in blue was seething with rage, wishing she could perish together with Chuzheng.

But realizing death would be unwise, she could only suppress her anger.

“What do you want this tree for?” the girl in blue took a step back.

“…”

I don’t know either, but when you stop me, I just want to dig.

[Sister, this is rebellious.] The King’s Account diagnosed Chuzheng precisely.

“…”

You’re the rebellious one, your whole family is rebellious, bastard!

[…]

Why am I always the one getting scolded!

You’re just being rebellious and still won’t admit it!

Chuzheng couldn’t answer, so she had to throw the question back: “Why won’t you let me dig this tree?”

“I…” The girl in blue pursed her lips, trying hard to look undaunted: “I… I just won’t… tell you!”

“Oh.”

The girl in blue didn’t see how Chuzheng moved. When she came to her senses, she’d already been caught by the throat.

“You don’t seem like good spirits; I don’t mind being a good person.”

The girl in blue faced a pair of calm and collected eyes, an inexplicable fear rose from her heart, shooting straight to her head.

“I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong.” The girl in blue instantly flinched, whimpering and beginning to cry.

Chuzheng was unmoved: “Then answer my question properly.”

The girl in blue: “Whimper, whimper.”

“Want to whimper again?”

The girl in blue: “…” Whimpers don’t work either? Why is she so unlucky!

Over there, the spirits and people were fighting loudly, driving Chuzheng crazy. She shouted irritably, “Quiet!”

The spirits seemed as though someone had pressed a pause button on them.

The other people, almost being beaten, rushed towards Wu Yue as the spirits ceased their actions.

“What’s wrong with them?”

“Why would they listen to that demon head?”

“Isn’t this some trick of that demon head??” someone boldly conjectured.

Everyone eyed each other, the situation seemingly had something to do with this demon head.

“Master Wu Yue, this…”

“Everyone, take the time to rest and recover your strength.” Wu Yue calmly advised them.

The crowd: “???” But, didn’t you see just now??

On the other side, the spirits were unsettled.

Spirit A: “Why did we stop?”

Spirit B: “Didn’t she tell us to stop?”

Spirit C: “Why do we have to listen to her?”

Ghost knows why; somehow… they were uncontrollable.

Spirit A·B: “If you don’t listen, why did you stop?”

Spirit C: “You all stopped, if I don’t, won’t I look conspicuous?”

Spirit D: “Well… shall we continue?”

“…”

Chuzheng didn’t know how to describe it, are these spirits idiots?

“Hurry up and speak.” Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered with those idiots, continuing to threaten the girl in blue.

The girl in blue dared not whimper, looking rather pitiful.

–

According to the girl in blue, this Forgetfulness Tree is the central node of the entire Wuyin Town. If it’s dug out, the formation will be destroyed.

With no formation, these spirits will not be able to survive.

So the Forgetfulness Tree absolutely cannot be excavated.

Chuzheng irritatedly scratched at her clothes, then glanced at the dead tree.

Chuzheng turned to Jing Po and asked, “What exactly do you want from the Forgetfulness Tree?”

“…Flower.” the young man answered quietly.

“The Forgetfulness Tree has never bloomed.” the girl in blue interjected: “I’ve never heard of the Forgetfulness Tree blooming, maybe the young man is mistaken?”

“They say it won’t bloom.”

“…It will, it will bloom.” The young man was a bit nervous, “It really will, I’m not lying to you.”

“…”

“I did see in an ancient book that the Forgetfulness Tree indeed blooms.” Wu Yue took two steps forward: “It’s said that the River of Forgetfulness connects the two worlds, and when souls in the Underworld travel against the river, the Forgetfulness Tree will bloom.”

Simply put, it’s when a soul belonging to the Underworld comes out, the Forgetfulness Tree will bloom.

“However, the ancient records state that no Ghost Spirit has ever traveled against the river.”

Ghost Spirits can escape the Underworld from elsewhere, arriving in the mortal realm.

But they cannot emerge from the River of Forgetfulness.

As for why… Wu Yue didn’t know either, he merely read it from a book.

On the Jiuzhou Continent, miraculous phenomena are countless; this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Chuzheng pondered for a moment, then asked the girl in blue: “You say this tree is dead?”

The girl in blue: “Isn’t it… isn’t it dead like this?”

Anyone can see that!

“Who knows if it’s playing dead.” Chuzheng’s voice was cold: “A dead Forgetfulness Tree is still the central node of Wuyin Town, supporting the entire Wuyin Town? You think you can fool me like I’m a three-year-old?”

“I… I really don’t know.” The girl in blue shook her head like a rattle.

No matter how Chuzheng threatened, the girl in blue only had this answer, apparently, she indeed didn’t know.

“Who knows?”

“Sister… Sister Miao.”

Chuzheng had heard of this Sister Miao before, the Good Person Card was after Zhixi, and it was her Guardian Beast.

“Where is she?”

“Don… don’t know… Sister Miao travels unpredictably, none of us can find her.”

The girl in blue didn’t seem to be lying.

Just as the girl in blue finished speaking, Yan Hongni suddenly exclaimed, “What is that!”

The pitch-black night sky looked as if it were stained with blood.

A giant beast appeared on the horizon, a red-clad woman standing on its back.

“Sister Miao! Help!!” the girl in blue immediately shouted hoarsely.

Chuzheng’s gaze swept over, causing the girl in blue to shrink her head and dare not shout further.

The giant beast approached, revealing its outline.

Overall resembling a tortoise, yet its tail was peculiarly long, with large spikes like a crocodile’s tail.

The woman descended in mid-air, her face covered by a veil, only revealing a pair of lively eyes.

Under the vigilant watch of everyone, she slightly saluted, her voice as soft as flowing water: “Why has the Demon Spirit Lord suddenly come to this little place of Miao Lan?”

Everyone swiftly turned their gaze to Chuzheng.

What Demon Spirit Lord??

What the heck is going on!

“Looking for something.” Chuzheng remained unfazed: “You recognize me?”

“The Demon Spirit Lord jests, how can Miao Lan recognize the lord.” Miao Lan’s eyes seemed articulate, sparkling with light: “May I know what the lord is looking for?”

“Sister Miao, she wants the Forgetfulness Tree to bloom!” The girl in blue couldn’t resist reporting: “She also wants your Guardian Beast, Zhixi.”

Miao Lan: “…”

“Forgetfulness Tree blooms…” Miao Lan shook her head: “The lord might be disappointed, it won’t bloom.”

“As for Zhixi… if the lord desires, Miao Lan can offer it with all hands.”

This suddenly appearing woman had an inexplicable reverence for Chuzheng.

The others dared not breathe heavily at this moment.

Yan Hongni covertly stared at the two conversing, a wave of anger spreading in her heart.

Why is it that even though she’s dead, she can come back to life.

Even coming back to life… her identity remains bizarre.
