French Plane Tree: Enough to Bury Your Whole Family

"Annoying human, what are you here for again?"

French Plane Tree's tone was as disdainful as ever.

"I brought you something good."

Liu Zheng said with a smile, then took off the Legendary Delivery Box.

"Did you bring me wine?"

French Plane Tree asked in delight.

"Uh, no wine. Supplies have been seriously short lately. If you want wine, I'll have to restock first."

"Then what good stuff could you possibly have?"

French Plane Tree was greatly disappointed.

"Drinks and desserts from Bad-Luck Coffee. Those aren't bad either, right?"

Liu Zheng made as if to take it back.

"Who said I didn't want it?"

French Plane Tree suddenly became agitated.

"Fine, fine. As long as you're happy. Facts speak louder than words, anyway."

Liu Zheng said with a shrug.

"Hmph. Speak, you sinister human. What do you want to take from me this time?"

French Plane Tree asked.

"Listen to yourself. Can't I simply come by to visit an old friend?"
