What a Walking Thug Looks Like
The cypress tree chuckled and said:
"Yeah! You guys didn't know? I thought you all did!"
I usually like to go there because it's so comfortable; the whole forest is warm and cozy...
Zhou Wanwan said speechlessly, "How come I didn't know?"
The cypress tree said:
"After we get back, I'll take you there. It's north of Black Wind Stronghold, maybe a bit far."
There are also many trees there, and they are very lush.
Zhou Wanwan said happily, "That means there's sulfur underneath that area. You kept it a secret pretty well."
The cypress tree looked aggrieved and said, "I thought you all knew. I even told the Old Scholar Tree! But the Old Scholar Tree completely ignored me."
The Old Scholar Tree clucked and clucked:
"You told me that I could get sunshine over there, but you didn't tell me that there was sulfur there!"
I'm Scholar Tree, and I don't like that stuff anyway.
The cypress tree curled its lip and said, "Anyway, it snowed where we are, but the temperature here has remained very warm."
Zhou Wanwan was overjoyed, and the jujube tree behind her also got excited, saying, "Wouldn't that be wonderful? I want to go, I want to go!"
The other trees echoed this sentiment, but the peach tree declared, "I refuse to suffer along! This is my hometown, and I'm staying here."
Zhou Wanwan ignored it and walked away.
The jujube tree continued to mutter:
"The second prince is very rich, and of course he has a lot of women."
His favorite things to collect were women and all kinds of jade.
Everyone says that a man keeps a mistress in a golden house; he had over five hundred rooms, and the floors inside were all paved with gold bricks.
Zhou Wanwan's mouth was practically watering. "Over five hundred rooms, is that... really true?"
Jujube Tree quickly nodded and said, "I know the numbers in the mansion!"
"Yes, yes, and his jade, it filled an entire warehouse, right there."
Zhou Wanwan swallowed hard.
"That's really nice! It's a pity we can't easily move this house back home, it's too far."
And we don't have enough manpower!
The Old Scholar Tree circled the house a few times and said, "This is indeed quite troublesome, but it doesn't matter if we don't have enough manpower, we can find a way to make up for it! Look, there are plenty of old trees here."
Zhou Wanwan ran straight to the old trees, which were at least two or three hundred years old.
However, this area belongs to the Western Regions, so most of the trees here are poplar, willow, jujube, cypress, and juniper.
This walnut tree is probably six or seven hundred years old.
It shook its body and said:
"I've lived here for so many years, and to think I'd leave my homeland is a pipe dream."
I don't want to leave here and travel such a long way to your side.
Besides, you're thieves, stealing from your master, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
The Old Scholar Tree slapped him hard across the face and said, "Steal? Your master is quite something, directly robbing us. He's more like a bandit than us. And he calls himself the second prince! What kind of person is he?"
The walnut tree sneered, "No one here will go with you. These are all my good friends."
Another walnut tree nearby said, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense, I'm willing to go, I think it's pretty exciting!"
The Old Scholar Tree nodded and said, "Wanwan, let them see what walking thugs are like."
Zhou Wanwan directly channeled energy into the walnut tree, which then jumped and danced around the yard, laughing uncontrollably, "Hahaha... I, Old Hu, have finally achieved this! I can actually walk again! I will brave the world and roam freely!"
The walnut tree next to it rolled its eyes and said:
"What kind of world can you conquer by following them? I don't even know where these people came from."
Have you ever thought that they live in harsh, cold regions, and that going there would only bring you suffering?
"It's better to An'an here peacefully. Someone even waters our plants every day. What's wrong with that?"
The walnut tree shook its head and said, "I want to go out and see the world. You would never understand how big this world is."
The walnut tree rolled its eyes and said:
"A bunch of idiots, get out of my sight, or I'll call for help!"
Once the second prince returns, none of you will escape.
The little walnut tree went straight up and punched the old walnut tree, making it howl and yell, "You idiot, how dare you hit me?"
The little walnut tree said indignantly:
I've disliked you for a long time. Who do you think you are?
You're always bossing me around, I hate you so much!
The old walnut tree puffed out its beard and glared, saying, "Say that again, or I'll come out and beat you up!"
The little walnut tree twisted its waist and said:
"Come on, come on, hit me! The thing is, can you even move?"
With your old bones and limbs, you should just stay here and enjoy your retirement!
I'm going to have some fun.
The old walnut tree looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You... hey! You, come here and give me energy."
Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes at it and said, "Do I owe you anything? Why should I?"
The old walnut tree, enraged, cursed, "Women are all the same! That brat is only five years old, and she's already so sharp-tongued and mean-spirited. Doesn't she fear dying young?"
The Old Scholar Tree roared, "What did you say?"
The old walnut tree roared angrily, "I say, this brat isn't afraid of dying young, so vicious at such a young age, tsk tsk tsk..."
"I'm afraid no one will want me when I grow up."
The Old Scholar Tree cackled, "I'll beat you to death, you old codger! Who are you talking about? How dare you talk about our Wanwan!"
The other trees weren't having it either. One willow tree grabbed a kettle of boiling water and poured it directly onto the tree.
The old walnut tree barked and howled, "You bunch of scoundrels! When my second prince returns, he'll take your dog lives!"
"He doesn't even deserve to take our lives!"
The Old Scholar Tree was truly angry; that old walnut tree didn't utter a single kind word.
It plucked all the leaves from the walnut tree, which cried out in agony, "You old beast, stop! Stop it now..."
The Old Scholar Tree was so angry that it broke its trunk.
The walnut tree howled in agony, and the Old Scholar Tree kicked it over, saying, "I hate it when people call me a beast, are you happy now?"
There were over 100 trees in the whole yard, but it still wasn't enough. The Old Scholar Tree led Zhou Wanwan to the woods outside and soon brought back several hundred more little brothers.
Zhou Wanwan bears a heavy responsibility, as she needs to provide energy to each tree.
Fortunately, Lingbao found many jade stones in the room. "Wanwan, these are all your favorites."
Hotan, Manas jasper, tricolor jade, lilac jade, Qiemo jade, golden silk jade...
The second prince must have been particularly fond of Hotan, as the entire warehouse was Manman with it.
Zhou Wanwan sat directly on a whole piece of Hotan, channeling energy into it very quickly.
It was all done in half an hour.
