Chapter 2734: Trade and Advancement (39)

Hearing this, Zhuang Ya and Gu Qing exchanged a glance.

Gu Qing asked in surprise, "The great tree has already merged with you? Can you still control the great tree to do other things?"

Fuyao smiled.

"I can, Sister."

Fuyao extended both hands at once, and a million leaves all stopped swaying.

Immediately after, the leaves facing every direction all adjusted their angle, turning straight downward.

Leaf after leaf was like stacked sheets of paper, one pressing on another, very neat.

The entire space above instantly became a pink wall of light.

The pink light rays that had originally scattered in all directions now all shot toward the base of the tree.

Beneath the great tree's canopy, the air was filled with pink light.

It seemed as if a rain of pink light had appeared.

Zhao Chi felt warmth all over his body.

This was the warmth of light.

Zhao Chi said excitedly, "Fuyao, what can this concentrated light do? Can it attack?"

Fuyao shook her head: "Attack? No way~ I just wanted to show the two sisters my ability to control the great tree. If it's attacking... then like this!"

As she spoke, Fuyao's arm movements changed once more.

She was seen grabbing and whipping.

Suddenly, two tree vines as thick as thighs shot down rapidly, slamming heavily onto the ground nearby.

Boom! Boom!

Two pits were smashed into the earth.

These two tree vines were also semi-transparent vines glowing with pink light.

Fuyao extended her index finger, drew a little circle, and flicked it upward.

The two thick tree vines slowly raised their heads, like two well-trained pythons.

Fuyao gave a light wave of her hand, and the two tree vines rapidly retracted, disappearing high up into the treetop.

"Brother Zhao Chi, right now I can only do this much. Anything else... I don't really know how yet."

"That's already amazing!"

Zhao Chi praised her directly.

He actually didn't understand these things very well.

He didn't know what abilities a tree spirit in its growth stage should have.

But he knew Fuyao really was somewhat different from ordinary tree spirits.

What Gu Qing and the others had said—the canopy and the vine veins—were indeed things a tree spirit should have.

A tree spirit is essentially the spirit of a tree.

Most tree spirits and great trees are bound to each other, yet also independent of each other.

Normally they communicate with the great tree through the canopy, and control the great tree's movements through the vine veins.

One of these two should be on the top of the head, the other would be on the skin.

A normal tree spirit should look like it has hair like green leaves, and fine tree vines wrapped around its skin.

Anyone who saw it would immediately know it was a plant-type creature.

But Fuyao, the tree spirit of the Eternal Tree, didn't have any of these. She looked exactly like a human...

It couldn't really be said exactly the same—after all, she was far more beautiful than an ordinary human, and her figure was obviously very perfect.

An ordinary tree spirit wouldn't be like this.

She was closer to a woman of the Taoyuan Tribe.

There was simply no trace of any plant-type creature about her.

Facing Zhao Chi's casual praise, Fuyao was very happy.

Her eyes narrowed, and she laughed softly.

Zhao Chi said, "I see you've already left the state of hunger, but as usual, let me feed you some blood separately."

Fuyao shook her head hard, her long hair flying about.

"No, Brother Zhao Chi has already lost too much, you can't lose any more."

Zhao Chi laughed, "Don't worry, I still have plenty of blood. These sisters all have healing abilities, they've already healed me up. Come on."

Fuyao hesitated a little.

She looked toward Gu Qing and the other women.

Gu Qing said, "Just listen to Lord Zhao Chi. My lord has indeed recovered quite a bit, so there's no need to worry for now. But... would you be willing to eat mine? If it's alright, I can feed you too."

"I can too!" Tang Ruan said with a smile, raising her hand.

Fuyao shook her head: "Thank you, Sister and little sister, but your blood is useless to me. It would be wasted."

Zhao Chi said, "Looks like I really am rather special after all... Come on, Fuyao, don't be shy."

Fuyao bit her lip, then nodded as if making a decision: "Thank you, Brother Zhao Chi. Then I'll just take a small bite."

Zhao Chi laughed, "If you're going to eat, eat your fill. My blood can recover very quickly right now—this is the perfect time for you to have a big meal. Qiyue."

Zhao Chi extended his arm.

Qiyue walked over and took Zhao Chi's finger into her mouth.

Zhao Chi said, "A finger won't work, the blood comes out too slowly. Use the artery at the wrist."

"Alright." Qiyue nodded, then said, "Come here, Fuyao. Once I open the blood vessel for my lord, you immediately take it in your mouth, alright?"

"Okay, big sister." Fuyao approached lightly, her two small, full breasts bouncing gently with each step.

Zhao Chi said, "My recovery ability is very strong right now. When you hold the blood vessel in your mouth later, remember to prop the blood vessel open with your tongue—don't let it heal."
