Chapter 266: Disagreement

~7 min read 1,369 words

After Zhu Zhiquan decomposed the corpse of the Blood-Chain Flower Emperor, Zhang Moxin dispelled the skill effect, and in an instant, they returned to the place where the Blood-Chain Flower Emperor had originally been hiding.

At the same time, on Zhao Yuxin and her group's side, the moment the Blood-Chain Flower Emperor died, all the Urban Flower Demons scattered and fled, leaving only a large number of Blood-Grievance Mushroom Demons to launch repeated probes against them.

And the Evil-Doba Demon Tree, which had been bombarded by the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon so many times that it could not get up, was currently emitting continuous wails.

Chen Ligang looked at the fleeing Urban Flower Demons, took out a pocket watch, and said, "So fast! It took less than a minute to finish off that old fox!"

Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but say smugly, "Hmph! How about that? My man is amazing, right!"

The group gave thumbs-ups in succession to praise him, making Zhao Yuxin feel a little smug inadvertently.

While the others were still praising, Gelina looked at the miserable Evil-Doba Demon Tree in the distance, her eyes full of heartache.

Zhao Yuxin noticed her reaction, thanked everyone, and came to her side to ask, "What's wrong, Gelina?"

While Gelina hesitated, Zhang Moxin brought Zhu Zhiquan back.

After being set down by Zhang Moxin, Zhu Zhiquan walked straight to Zhao Yuxin's side and then just stood quietly in front of her, not saying a word.

Zhao Yuxin held Zhu Zhiquan's hand and looked behind him; finding nothing there, she asked, "Ajiu, where is the Empress's corpse?"

Zhu Zhiquan looked at Zhang Moxin silently. Zhao Yuxin relied on the surrounding sound waves echoing back to realize that this guy Zhu Zhiquan hadn't left her a single bit of the corpse, which made her so angry that she stomped on Zhu Zhiquan's toe.

"Gelina, come tell me what's on your mind." Zhao Yuxin stroked her head with her fingers, a smile on her face.

Zhu Zhiquan knew the reason for Zhao Yuxin's anger and couldn't say anything, so he could only go find Xuebao to play with.

Gelina twisted and turned, unable to speak, just staring at the wailing Evil-Doba Demon Tree in the distance.

Zhao Yuxin smiled lightly and reached out a hand, saying, "Come up, little one."

"Mm..." Gelina flew lightly onto Zhao Yuxin and sat down quietly.

Zhao Yuxin smiled, stepped onto the Five-Star Sword, and flew toward the Evil-Doba Demon Tree. The others looked at Zhao Yuxin's actions with some confusion; they were about to prepare to build a camp, so where was Zhao Yuxin going?

It wasn't until Zhao Yuxin approached the Evil-Doba Demon Tree to a certain distance and they saw Gelina taking flight from her palm that the group realized what was happening.

Zhang Mofeng was the first to angrily rebuke, "Zhao Yuxin, what are you two doing! Hurry back!"

Liu Yuchang: "You two aren't thinking of saving it, are you? Please, don't do something this stupid, okay!?"

…………………

Watching Zhao Yuxin fly toward the Evil-Doba Demon Tree with Gelina, Zhu Zhiquan immediately entered the driver's seat and aimed the cannon at the Evil-Doba Demon Tree to prevent it from making any moves.

Faced with the opposition of the others, Gelina was somewhat hesitant about whether to heal this big guy, but she couldn't bear to leave it here wailing.

Zhao Yuxin brushed back her hair and said to the group, "Everyone, I know your concerns, but I intend to let Gelina make this choice herself."

Zhang Mofeng: "But this is a magic creature! What if it repays kindness with enmity the moment it recovers!?"

"If it repays kindness with enmity, please let us send it to heaven ourselves. Of course, if you are worried or afraid, you can stay away from here now." Zhao Yuxin said, looking at Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan, in the driver's seat, met Zhao Yuxin's gaze, and the two had a tacit understanding of this.

"Sister, let's go!" Zhang Mofeng pulled Zhang Moxin toward their Tricycle. Zhang Moxin wanted to say something, but was intimidated by a look from Zhang Mofeng and could only obediently follow her sister away from here.

Liu Yuchang tugged at Chen Ligang's arm, but unfortunately, he didn't budge an inch; he just stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at Zhao Yuxin and Gelina with a face full of anticipation.

Li Yue and Huang Jing also entered their Tricycle early, one sitting in the driver's seat aiming the cannon at the Evil-Doba Demon Tree, while simultaneously putting it in reverse, ready to step on the gas and run at any time.

Gelina looked at the people behind her, and the unease in her heart welled up again; she didn't know what to do now.

To this, Zhao Yuxin kissed her gently on the top of her head, nodded heavily at her, and moved the hand supporting her toward the Evil-Doba Demon Tree.

Gelina hesitated for a moment, then looking at Zhao Yuxin's firm and loving smile, Gelina finally flew toward the Evil-Doba Demon Tree to begin treatment.

Natural and gentle Magic Power was released, first circling around the eyes to repair the Evil-Doba Demon Tree's vision.

Seeing Chen Ligang lingering and refusing to leave, Liu Yuchang was so angry he could only go to the driver's seat and control the cannon on their vehicle to aim at the Evil-Doba Demon Tree.

Zhu Zhiquan pressed the charging button, and a large amount of Magic Power surged into the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon, with a vortex gradually forming at the muzzle.

"Wuwu~" Xuebao stared at Zhao Yuxin and Gelina in the distance, not understanding why they were doing this.

The Blood-Grievance Mushroom Demons saw that they had no defenses left and immediately launched a charge against them.

As a result, yellow flowers suddenly grew all over the Snake-Vine Creeper, which sprayed yellow smoke at them. The Blood-Grievance Mushroom Demons that came into contact with it collapsed immediately and were then dragged into the vehicle onto a leaf covered in barbs.

The remaining Blood-Grievance Mushroom Demons saw their kin suddenly collapse and scattered away from Zhu Zhiquan and the others, not daring to try to approach again.

Soon, with Gelina's treatment, the Evil-Doba Demon Tree's body, which had previously been crippled, gradually returned to normal. The moment it stood up again, everyone's heart jumped into their throats.

The Evil-Doba Demon Tree looked at the humans in front of it, as well as the little elven thing, and immediately realized that they did not want to harm it, so it broke off a branch from its own body and handed it to Gelina.

Gelina was caught off guard by this and looked at Zhao Yuxin.

"Accept it." Zhao Yuxin smiled lightly.

Gelina took the branch, and the Evil-Doba Demon Tree shook its trunk as if to express its gratitude, then turned and left, gradually disappearing from everyone's field of vision.

Watching the Evil-Doba Demon Tree leave, the group's suspended hearts finally settled. Zhu Zhiquan also dispelled the charge on the Vehicle-mounted Vortex Cannon and slowly stepped off the Tricycle.

"Ouch, son, have you gone stupid from standing there without moving? Do you know your old man..." Liu Yuchang grumbled as he walked to Chen Ligang's side, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Chen Ligang remained silent, letting Liu Yuchang take advantage of him, and instead took the initiative to greet Zhao Yuxin and Gelina, saying, "You two are quite interesting, but it doesn't exceed my expectations, because I felt you definitely could."

"Th... thank you." Gelina blushed and hid in Zhao Yuxin's collar.

At a shopping mall around a corner ahead, the two sisters parked their vehicle in an underground garage. Zhang Moxin asked with a cautious face, "Sister... shouldn't we stay with Brother Chen and his group?"

"What did you say?" Zhang Mofeng looked at her sister with cold eyes, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionability.

"N... nothing!" Zhang Moxin immediately climbed back into the carriage obediently, her small hands clenching into fists uneasily.

Zhang Mofeng casually killed a Blood-Grievance Mushroom Demon that tried to sneak an attack with a whip, then stood quietly in place, silent.
