Chapter 2890: What Did You Do Last Night?

Seeing the courtyard empty and deserted, Xu Jie and the others also realized something major had happened; they immediately didn't even bother to repair the Fire Room, and hurriedly went to find Ye Zhangqing and Qi Xiong to report the matter.

On the other side, inside Hong Zun's room, he didn't even know how he had come back last night, feeling bitter in his heart.

He was sleeping soundly when suddenly a tree branch shot out from his palm and whipped his face, instantly waking Hong Zun.

"Who? What petty rascal?"

He jumped up, looked around, saw no one in the room, furrowed his brows, not yet realizing what was happening, when an indifferent voice sounded in his mind.

"What have you done?"

Hearing this, Hong Zun was stunned, wondering where the voice came from, and replied blankly.

"Who are you?"

"I'm damn well your tree pet."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Hong Zun was stunned, thinking, "Old man, where did I get a tree pet? That damned thing wasn't willing to acknowledge a master, right? Wait, last night………………

Last night's memories began to trickle back, and Hong Zun vaguely recalled that he seemed to have drunk alcohol yesterday evening.

He was drinking and drinking, and then what happened after?

Unintentionally raising his palm, he saw the tree ghost pattern on it, and he was completely dazed, muttering.

"Have you figured it out?"

"I don't give a damn, I was drunk last night."

"And then?"

"How would I know what happened after?"

This tree ghost was also speechless, wondering how it had inexplicably acknowledged a master, and when that happened.

As for Hong Zun, he broke into a goofy, happy laugh, hey, after drinking, he'd gotten a tree ghost for free.

"Do you know what this means?"

He then started to coax.

"What?"

"This is fate, fate has destined us to be a pair made in heaven, you know? Even if you don't like it, I'll be your master for life, ah………… what are you doing?"

"I said I was drunk."

"Just say whether you acknowledged a master or not."

"This…………………"

Things having come to this, the tree ghost seemed to have lost its temper and could only acquiesce.

Even if he still didn't like it, having acknowledged it, they might as well make do.

Although the process had some twists and turns, he had successfully secured his tree pet, and Hong Zun was in a good mood.

However, just then, Qi Xiong and the others rushed over anxiously; upon seeing Hong Zun, they hurriedly said.

"Junior brother, it's not good, your tree pet has been taken by someone."

Seeing the anxious looks on Qi Xiong and the others, Hong Zun remained calm, spread his hands, and laughed.

"Senior brother, you yourself said it's my tree pet; how could anyone else steal it?"

"Junior brother you………… huh, you've succeeded?"

Seeing the tree pet pattern on his palm, Qi Xiong and the others were instantly stunned.

Yesterday he still had no hope, so how did he inexplicably succeed today?

Seeing the shocked looks on Qi Xiong and the others, Hong Zun put on an act, speaking with an air of profundity.

"What's the big deal? What's mine is forever mine; no one can steal it."

This old thing was putting on an act.

Seeing Hong Zun's smug look, Qi Xiong and the others turned and left, since there was no problem, that was fine.

"Ah, wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Without regard for the obstruction behind them, they walked while speaking.

"Come on, come on, let's first repair the Fire Room."

"Exactly, how much time has this delayed?"

"It's not like you're making a fuss over nothing; it's just a tree ghost, what's there to worry about?"

"Yeah, even if the master had no tree ghost, at worst I'd protect him."

"You guys damn……………………

Hearing their words, Hong Zun couldn't help but start cursing.

Repairing the Fire Room wasn't particularly difficult; everyone pitched in and finished it in a short morning.

That evening, Ye Zhangqing prepared a dinner, letting everyone enjoy a nice meal again.

Including all the tree ghosts, they ate heartily, and their favor toward the Dao One Immortal Sect increased a bit.

Especially for Hong Zun, after eating, his tree pet voluntarily said something.

"Not bad."

"What do you mean "not bad"? Let me tell you, I won't say anything else, but when it comes to snatching food, I'm second to none; no one dares claim first. Follow me, and you'll have a good time."

This time, the tree ghost surprisingly didn't object; indeed, just now while queuing for food.

Hong Zun, meanwhile, was crying, begging, coaxing, and tricking to get extra servings, his main tactic being shamelessness.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with its being a tree pet; it just enjoyed the food, making the other tree ghosts envious.

In that case, following this human seems not bad either; although he's a bit ugly, at least he can get a meal.

Having eaten their fill and drunk their fill, the people who hadn't had Ye Zhangqing's cooking for many days were naturally satisfied.

After the meal, during idle chat, the Flame Martial Tribe Chief suddenly looked at Xu Jie and asked.

"Hey, Xu family kid, what do you plan to do with those Feather God Tribe captives? If they're useless, just kill them; it's annoying to look at."

As for those Feather God Tribe captives, the Barbarian God Tribe folks naturally had no opinion; if forced to say they had one, it would be to just kill them outright—keeping them would be a waste of spiritual energy.

If Xu Jie hadn't said he had a way and they were still useful, these Feather God Tribe members could never have returned alive to this Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

Hearing that, Xu Jie obviously had a plan already, and he said with a smile.

"Senior, do you want to attack the Feather God Tribe Divine Realm?"

"Nonsense, of course we want to, but our innate tribe's Shenjie—if we don't know the method, trying to force a breakthrough is nearly impossible."

The Feather God Tribe has always wanted to attack the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm, and the Barbarian God Tribe naturally wants to as well, but they just can't.

After all, as long as you seize the opponent's Shenjie, it's practically equivalent to destroying their foundation.

Even if there are a few who escape, afterwards they can only be like stray dogs, fleeing everywhere, without a fixed abode.

Upon hearing the Flame Martial Tribe Chief's words, Xu Jie's smile grew even wider.

"That's why we need to let you seniors keep a few alive."

"You can get the method from this bunch of worthless chickens?"

Having said that, everyone also roughly guessed Xu Jie's idea, but in the Flame Martial Tribe Chief's view, it was completely impossible.

After all, given the nature of those Feather God Tribe members, even if you tortured them to death, you couldn't make them yield, let alone get them to divulge the specific method of entering the Shenjie.

This is practically an act of betraying one's tribe.

The Barbarian God Tribe has also asked before, without exception, all attempts have failed.

Likewise, if Barbarian God Tribe members fall into the hands of the Feather God Tribe, they are naturally also subjected to severe torture, and this question has surely been repeatedly asked.

But so far, the Feather God Tribe hasn't been able to enter the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm either, which proves that no one has betrayed their own tribe.

So, Xu Jie trying to extract this information from these captives is nothing short of a pipe dream.

However, facing the doubts of the Flame Martial Tribe Chief and the others, Xu Jie just smiled indifferently.

"Seniors, you don't need to worry; I, as the junior, have my own method, and I will surely make these Feather God Tribe members obediently talk."
