I can't be the only one who suffers!
Little Red felt very strongly that this Enlightenment Tree was just like Little Red.
Chen Luo sneered. Did he really need Little Red to remind him?
There was no point keeping a hen that wouldn't lay eggs. A tea tree that wouldn't produce tea leaves might as well be burned down.
Chen Luo lightly patted Mi Li's shoulder. "Mi Li, it's almost mealtime. Go check on things. I'll handle this."
Chen Luo was a good man, after all. How could he use violence in front of Mi Li?
Mi Li paused, then said gently to the Enlightenment Tree, "Why be so stubborn? Can't we work together?"
The Enlightenment Tree snorted. "Don't think you can boss me around just because your esper ability works on me. That won't work."
Mi Li stared blankly for a moment, shook her head, and left.
Chen Luo chuckled. "You're sure you won't produce any tea leaves now?"
The Enlightenment Tree extended a branch and pointed at Chen Luo. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'll produce them in ten years. Right now, I want to sleep. You, get lost."

Chen Luo nodded and turned around. His expression changed instantly. He conjured a giant hand with his spatial ability and delivered a vicious backhand slap to the Enlightenment Tree.
