Don't Blame Me for Being Ruthless-Taste My Blade!

After looking around, Wu Chu pointed at the Peony Divine Flower with righteous indignation and demanded, "How can you be so domineering and rude? A name is just a label. Are your names predetermined by heaven? Such forceful seizure..."

"Our names are ordained by Heaven!" the Peony Divine Flower said proudly. Although it had no mouth, this meaning was conveyed to Wu Chu through divine thought.

Holy crap! It really is predetermined?

Wu Chu's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly snorted coldly, "You dare to talk back!" As he spoke, he pulled out the kitchen knife, pointed it at the Camellia Divine Flower, and said, "Do you believe I'll chop it down?"

The Camellia Divine Flower somewhat bewildered and said weakly, "It was the Peony who caused the trouble, why should I bear the blame? Senior said the Peony are domineering, but isn't Senior's behavior even more domineering?"

"That's different. You Twelve Divine Flowers are born as one. If any one of you makes a mistake, I won't punish the other directly. Instead, I'll have one of you take the blame. If you don't want to make mistakes, then you must supervise and urge each other on, so that you all know what it means to share honor and disgrace, and to be bound together in life and death."

"You, you... you are being unreasonable!" cried the Peony Divine Flower.

"Still not admitting your mistake! Fine! Then don't blame me for being ruthless, take this!"

Bass...

With a flash of light, a small Camellia branch fell from the sacred Camellia tree, and the Camellia Divine Flower involuntarily shrank, as if in pain.

Seeing this, the other Divine Flower trembled in fear. The Peony Divine Flower immediately wilted, crying out, "I'm sorry! I don't want this name anymore, sob sob..."

Seeing this, Wu Chu picked up a Camellia branch from the ground and sneered, "Considering you are Innate Divine Flower, I've allowed you to cultivate here, providing you with the Primordial One-Qi Pure Spirit Spring and nourishing you with the Nine-Heavens Resting Soil. This is your good fortune. You show no gratitude and dare to be so arrogant! Do you really think that without you, the Flower Fairy Clan cannot grow?"

The Divine Flower silent, like cicadas in winter, speechless.

Wu Chu's cold eyes swept over the group, and he continued with a light snort, "Since you've already taken those names back, then forget it. It's just a name; I'll give them new ones. Today's main purpose is to teach you a lesson. Don't think that just because you're pretty, I'll be 'gentle and considerate' and won't be ruthless towards you. That's impossible!"

Waaaaah...

The Daffodil in the middle were so frightened they cried.

"Shut up!"

"Uh, uh..." The little fairy flower was so frightened that it almost hiccuped. The flower stalk trembled slightly, and the water in the pool beneath it rippled gently in circles.

Proud Snow Plum sighed softly, "We understand your teachings, senior. Please, senior, do not frighten the Daffodil any further; the Daffodil is timid!"

Wu Chu glanced at the Plum Blossom tree, nodded, and said, "Here, we can talk things out. I'm not an unreasonable person, but what I can't stand is people who bully others just because they have some ability. Think it over carefully. If you don't want to stay here, you can go with Fellow Daoist Hongyun when he arrives."

"Thank you for your lesson, senior. We understand!"

Wu Chu nodded, picked up the kitchen knife and Camellia branch, and darted away.

However, after flying into the air, it flicked its finger and shot out a golden light, a Merit Golden Light, as compensation for the Camellia Divine Flower! It probably scared the Camellia Divine Flower quite a bit just now, and being inexplicably attacked, anyone would feel wronged.

Only after the Camellia received that Merit Golden Light and its blossoms began to unfold did the Divine Flower silently breathe a sigh of relief.

This perfectly aligns with the principle of "giving a stick and then a sweet treat" in managing subordinates.

Back at the Summit of the Sacred Tree, Little Peony and the other little figures were all moved to tears by Wu Chu, but they also felt extremely guilty towards the Divine Flower, leaving them in a dilemma.

Little Moon Spirit gave the Camellia branch in his hand a strange look, then stepped forward and took the kitchen knife from him, saying, "This is the first time I've ever seen you so angry, Brother A Chu!"

Wu Chu smiled, then turned to look at everyone with their various expressions. When Doggy met Wu Chu's gaze, it silently lowered its head, its heart pounding.

Over the years, when Wu Chu was dissatisfied with it, he would at most scold it and Little Flower Fairies to supervise its weight loss. He never took action himself. The Doggy was also afraid that if its owner Wu Chu was dissatisfied, he would suddenly commit domestic violence against it.

The Little Fox coughed lightly and said, "These guys, relying on their powerful connections, have always looked down on everyone. If we don't punish them, what will they do in the future? I think Senior A Chu did the right thing! Our ancestor said, 'If you don't educate them when they're young, they'll turn the world upside down when they grow up!'"

"It's normal for her to be a little proud since she's Innate Divine Flower!" Little Moon Spirit, being good-natured, took Wu Chu's hand and gently shook it. "Brother A Chu, don't be angry!"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "Alright, I'm not angry anymore. Little Peony... Hmm, I'll give you both names! From now on, Little Peony will be called Fei'er, how about that?"

"Hua Fei'er? Okay."

"This is how the word 'fei' is written, let me teach you."

"Oh oh!"

"From now on, Little Chrysanthemum will be called Mi'er, and Phoebe will be called Shi'er..."

At this moment, Yibao couldn't help but jump in and complain, "Then why don't you just change their names to Yan'er, Qian'er, Ying'er, Zi'er, or something like that..."

"Thank you, Senior A Chu, we really like this name!"

Upon seeing Yibao appear, the Little Flower Fairies all expressed their willingness to accept the new names. Their anxious fear of being persecuted by Yibao again made Yibao grit her little silver teeth in anger.

Hua Yi and Hua Er flowers, Three Flowers, four flowers... isn't that hard to remember?

Flower A, Flower B, Flower C, Flower Q... any of them will do!

Wu Chu stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "If we ever don't know what to name a child in the future, we can definitely use these names! It would be a waste not to use them!"

Yibao rolled her eyes at him, thinking that Wu Chu wasn't much better than her.

"Little Peony, oh no, Fei'er, go and cut this Camellia tree into small sections, then cultivate these sections back into tea trees..."

"A Chu, this..." Little Moon Spirit asked, puzzled, "What's the use of this Camellia? Can its branches be used as a seasoning?"

"Well! It probably won't work as a seasoning, but it can be made into another kind of drink. Once it's cultivated properly, I'll teach you how to make it."

"Uh-huh!"

The studious Little Moon Spirit nodded her head.

Wu Chu continued, "If this tea tree can be successfully cultivated, you can go and discuss with those Divine Flower and borrow some branches from them. We can then propagate more offspring through cuttings. For example, the Peach Blossom tree can produce peaches. The others, although they may not necessarily bear fruit, will still be ornamental. We can plant all sorts of flowers on that nearby mountain."

As he spoke, he pointed to the high peak not far behind the treetops.
