The Old Tree Flips Out
But Ye Fei didn't care about what the Heavenly Dao Tree thought. He just kept ordering Xiao Cao to pluck all the Heavenly Dao Fruits from the Heavenly Dao Tree.
Ye Fei was also very smart. He knew that the Heavenly Dao Tree wanted to kill him, so he didn't pluck them himself. He only ordered Xiao Cao to do it. This way, even if the Heavenly Dao Tree wanted to attack Ye Fei, it wouldn't be able to find a reason. After all, Xiao Cao was the one plucking the fruits. The Heavenly Dao Tree obviously wouldn't hurt Xiao Cao.
Soon, under Ye Fei's command and Xiao Cao's cooperation, the Heavenly Dao Tree was completely bare. Not a single Heavenly Dao Fruit could be seen. But Ye Fei was still very dissatisfied.
Xiao Cao had brought a big wine jar, but the Heavenly Dao Fruits only filled half the jar. Ye Fei couldn't help but blame the Heavenly Dao Tree for being too stingy. Such a big tree only bore so few fruits.
Fortunately, no one saw this scene. Otherwise, those disciples from the aristocratic families would definitely tear Ye Fei apart. One had to know that the Heavenly Dao Fruit took a thousand years to bloom, another thousand years to bear fruit, and another thousand years to ripen.
The Heavenly Dao Tree finally bore a full tree of fruits. Now, regardless of whether they were raw or ripe, they were all swept away by Ye Fei. In the next three thousand years, other cultivators could forget about plucking even a single fruit from the Heavenly Dao Tree.
Ye Fei actually had a dissatisfied expression?
Of course, Ye Fei wasn't the only one who was dissatisfied. Seeing Xiao Cao pluck the Heavenly Dao Fruits as he pleased, the Red Dragon King also turned red. The Dragon Turtle's eyes turned red. The Heavenly Dao Fruit was very useful to it.
Roar!
Roar! The Red Dragon King's beady eyes rolled around. It tugged at Ye Fei's trousers and pointed at the Heavenly Dao Tree's leaves with its dragon claws. Ye Fei instantly understood. He slapped his head and scolded himself for being stupid. The Heavenly Dao Fruit was gone, but the Heavenly Dao Tree's golden leaves were still a treasure.
In the Martial Spirit City, one had to pay a golden leaf to enter the city. Ye Fei hurriedly instructed Xiao Cao, "Xiao Cao, don't come back yet. Since you're already back at home, let's not be polite. While you're at it, pick some golden leaves. We're not greedy. Just fill up a vat of wine."
As he spoke, Ye Fei nimbly took out another large wine jar. This one was even bigger than the first one. It could hold 500 catties of leaves without a problem.
Looking at the huge wine vat and imagining the bare branches of the Celestial Tree, the group of spiritual creatures surrounding it were all dumbfounded. The little pony's four hooves trembled and fell to the ground.
It wasn't that the spirit herbs hadn't seen ferocious humans before and had even fought with them before. However, this was the first time they had seen someone as ferocious as Ye Fei. Not only did he sweep away all the fruits, he didn't even let the leaves go.
"Yiyi?"
There was also a trace of hesitation on Xiaocao's face. She had a faint feeling that she had done something very bad.
The Celestial Tree's entire trunk shook violently. Suddenly, a terrifying aura of the Heavenly Dao was emitted from the Celestial Tree. It shook Ye Fei and the Dragon Tortoise to the ground, unable to move.
"Yiyi!"
Xiao Cao immediately panicked. She seemed to want to put in a few good words for Ye Fei. Soon, an angry and twisted old man's face appeared on the Celestial Tree's trunk. It roared, "Princess, you don't have to say anything. This old man's good temper for hundreds of thousands of years can no longer hold it in."
"Human, you are too shameless. You are too greedy. Not only did you pluck all the fruits, you also didn't even let go of my leaves. This is infuriating. A person like you will only lead the Princess astray if you stay by her side. This old man will destroy you right now! "
Boom!
The Celestial Tree was enraged. The golden leaves on the tree were even sharper than swords. The Dragon Tortoise was so frightened that it fainted for the second time.
Ye Fei suddenly felt like crying. This damned Dragon Tortoise had caused him to be in deep trouble. He originally thought that these spiritual beings weren't very intelligent. Who knew that there was actually an old monster hiding among them? This was clearly the Celestial Tree that had become a spirit!
"Senior, please listen to my explanation!" Ye Fei's face darkened. He hurriedly put on the most sincere expression.
"This old man will listen to your explanation after you die!" The Celestial Tree didn't want to listen. Actually, when Ye Fei ordered Xiao Cao to pluck all its fruits, the Celestial Tree was already furious. It was only because of Xiao Cao's face that the Celestial Tree endured bitterly.
Ye Fei's action of plucking all its leaves had undoubtedly ignited the Celestial Tree's anger. It looked at the terrifying leaves that were filled with golden whirlwinds. The spiritual beings in the surroundings were once again stunned.
Even the youngest of them had lived here for thousands of years. They had never seen the Celestial Tree get angry before. It was like an old grandpa with a good temper. In the end, the Celestial Tree was enraged by Ye Fei's arrival. It could be seen how cruel this human was.
Many spiritual beings started to worry about Xiao Cao. They called out together, wanting Xiao Cao to quickly return to their side. Xiao Cao didn't do that. Instead, he suddenly opened his arms and bravely stood in front of Ye Fei.
Ye Fei's heart was suddenly filled with gratitude. "Indeed, I didn't dote on Xiao Cao for nothing. He's much more reliable than that freeloader Dragon Tortoise."
However, since there was an old monster here, Ye Fei didn't dare to treat these spiritual beings as ordinary spiritual herbs anymore. Moreover, his actions just now had completely angered the Celestial Tree. Ye Fei was really afraid that Xiao Cao wouldn't be able to suppress it and the Celestial Tree would destroy him in a fit of anger.
After all, the Celestial Tree in front of him was at the level of a Half-Emperor! Ye Fei could accept being killed by an enemy, but it would be too embarrassing to be killed by a tree.
"No, I must think of a way to resolve this matter. If Xiao Cao can't suppress the Celestial Tree, I won't be able to defeat a Half-Emperor tree demon!"
At this critical moment, Ye Fei's mind was spinning rapidly. He actually came up with a good idea. Since the Celestial Tree was so concerned about Xiao Cao, then the only way to resolve the Celestial Tree's anger was through Xiao Cao. Any other explanation would be superfluous!
That's right, that's the way!
"Xiao Cao, please move aside. It's my fault this time. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so greedy. I shouldn't have disregarded everything. It's all my fault!"
Ye Fei sighed with a regretful expression. He sighed and said, "I just thought of Xiao Cao. You've been with me for so long. You haven't eaten enough and you haven't been warm enough! You're always being chased by enemies. That's why I was blinded by the benefits in front of me. I wanted to bring more treasures out to exchange for more spiritual stones and immortal crystals for Xiao Cao. At the same time, I also wanted to improve my own strength. However, I neglected the Celestial Tree's inner feelings. I was wrong. Senior, I'm really sorry! "
After saying that, Ye Fei's expression became solemn. At the same time, there was also regret and self-blame. He bowed deeply to the Celestial Tree and apologized.
He was taking a gamble. Since the Heavenly Tree addressed Xiaocao as Princess, it definitely cared about Xiaocao more than anything else. His words immediately suppressed the Heavenly Tree's anger.
"Human boy, what did you say? You plucked all my fruits and even wanted to pluck all my leaves. Actually, it wasn't because you were blinded by greed. It was all for the princess?"
The Celestial Tree didn't dare to associate Ye Fei in front of it with the vicious and greedy human just now. However, when it saw Ye Fei's sincere and regretful expression, the Celestial Tree still looked at Xiao Cao hesitantly. "Princess, is what he said true?"
"How is it not true? It's all because I'm useless. That's why Xiao Cao suffered a lot with me. If you don't believe me, you can see that Xiao Cao doesn't have enough spiritual stones to eat. She's already become thin from hunger!"
