Stopped!

Stopped is good!

As long as it stops, there is hope for communication.

The Divine Wood Spirit looked somewhat bewildered at the excited Master Wang over there, somewhat unable to understand these simple words.

What does it mean, he is late?

And the Divine Wood Spirit doesn't know that Wang Jixuan didn't plan to explain the logic of that sentence to it.

Logic is not important; being able to speak is what's most important.

Wang Jixuan took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Fellow, you should be the Fusang Divine Wood, right? I'm sorry, we might harm you next. If possible, we are willing to help extend your life to make up for our mistake!"

The Divine Wood Spirit indeed frowned at Wang Jixuan.

Even though its 'Tree Heart' desires nothing, and it has become somewhat indifferent to Time, the only thing it cares about is whether it can stay alive.

"You... what... do you mean?"

It spoke human language with some difficulty.

Wang Jixuan cupped his hands and said, "Strong enemies wish to surround and kill me, and my only recourse is to attempt to burn this small world as a cost to try to defeat these strong enemies. Fusang Divine Wood will inevitably be damaged in this process. I want to consult with you before taking action, as you are the master of this place. I can offer compensation as much as possible."

It suddenly felt dumbfounded.

This Human Race Qi Refiner... How can he be so brazenly shameless?

Knowing it is the master here, yet glibly saying to burn this realm just to kill the enemy.

However, as it looked at Wang Jixuan, its gaze unexpectedly softened a bit.

The so-called great battles, it honestly has experienced too many.

Many, many beings much stronger than the human in front have fought fiercely nearby, even atop it, causing heaven and earth to collapse, its sap flowing everywhere;

No creature has ever asked;

No strong being has ever cared;

If this old tree likes what they did.

"You... your cultivation is not high..."

The Divine Wood Spirit's speech became much smoother, with a tone both gentle and soft:

"Probably won't harm me."

Gao Huating blinked, not daring to speak recklessly at this moment, only trying to convey her goodwill through a smile as much as possible.

Wang Jixuan continued, "Yes, I can't harm you, but we have a Magic Treasure of great power. Based on calculations, this treasure will at least damage seventy to eighty percent of your canopy and trunk, without harming your roots, but at most, it might truly destroy you... It is a Fire Element Magic Treasure."

"Is that so?"

The Divine Wood Spirit pondered seriously, asking:

"Then can you fight them somewhere else?"

"Sorry," Wang Jixuan smiled wryly, "We have invested a huge amount of resources here, and I'm trapped by them in here, probably unable to change the venue."

"I understand."

The Divine Wood Spirit responded, gently sighing:

"I have no legs and can't leave from here, only bear the impact of your fighting."

Wang Jixuan: "I am extremely sorry for this, but I can think of a way to compensate you, such as helping to transplant your roots to another feng shui treasure land."

He secretly gave Gao Huating a glance.

Gao Huating was a bit confused, not quite understanding what Master Wang meant, but her nimble mind perceived her teacher might want a BGM.

Thus, Gao Huating lightly strummed the strings, after simple adjustments, played a tune full of sorrowful elements.

Wang Jixuan's forehead sprouted two question marks.

He coughed, about to continue speaking when the Divine Wood Spirit trembled with a voice asking, "Really can't change the place?"

"Sorry, we can only be near you, trying not to harm your main branches."

"Always like this..."

Its vague figure pouted, unexpectedly stained with some tears, as its voice gradually sped up:

"Always like this... Always since long ago...

"Back then, I managed to grow a few beautiful branches, they came to take, not just took my branches, leaving me weak for a long time, but also fought fiercely, burning me half dead.

"Later, I barely took a breath, thinking, although I'm just a tree, I must live well, they still came to attack, cutting my roots, burning me, striking me with thunder, I couldn't move at all, what else could I do?

"I never said I wanted to be friends with them, yet a whole group lived on me.

"Imagine if they shaved your arms, legs flat, embedded many stones to make it into their house... also tearing your skin to draw your blood... even shamelessly claiming I was their treasure... Did I allow it?"

Wang Jixuan: ...

Gao Huating: ...

Master Wang's brain cells suddenly seemed to crash.

Gao Huating glanced at Wang Jixuan, promptly responded, "Did they never ask you?"

The Divine Wood Spirit directly squatted down crying.

Wang Jixuan: Seeming somewhat low in intelligence.

He gestured to Gao Huating to continue playing guitar, with sympathy and pity in her eyes.

The Divine Wood Spirit cried for thirty minutes.

Wang Jixuan had already taken the opportunity to approach it, looking at its faintly young girl's appearance, thoughts constantly turning in his mind.

In this moment, encountering such a single-natured spirit, letting the other side feel their sincerity might yield better effects.

However... Wang Jixuan feels incredibly hard to empathize with a tree.

He also squatted down, holding a bottle of water, looking at this crying, possibly millions even billions of years old 'little girl', his heart softened:

"How about we research another plan? Maybe, use a protective membrane to wrap you up?"
