Chapter 1617B: Divine Stone Tribe

The Tribe Leader raised his hand to rub his face. He laughed bitterly and said, “Marquis, you’re indeed observant.” He hesitated for a while before his voice lowered even more, “I’ve heard…hehe, it’s only what I’ve heard, but about six hundred years ago, because of some special qualities of the Divine Stone, they actually caused a Perishing Star to change its direction and fall directly into their tribe’s camp.

“It is said that this occurrence would definitely be a catastrophe. However, in reality, the Divine Stone Tribe did not suffer from many casualties. In fact, the Divine Stone Tribe’s Tribe Leader smiled very widely, as if he had picked up…hehe, picked up some wondrous, precious treasure…”

Qin Yu looked at the Tribe Leader whose eyes were filled with playfulness.

“Uh…so that’s what happened. Marquis, you can decide for yourself what to do; I will not disturb you for any longer and leave now,” the Tribe Leader got up to salute Qin Yu and left.

The Perishing Star seemed to really be a great treasure. Back then, the Divine Stone Tribe Leader had probably overdone his reaction. ‘Tsk tsk’, indeed, it was wise not to let others know about your wealth. Otherwise, even after a few hundred years passed, people would still be coveting it.

The corners of Qin Yu’s mouth turned up. He was thinking about the Green Willow Tribe Leader’s words. Though the Tribe Leader appeared to be joking, Qin Yu understood in his heart that the reason why the Tribe Leader had told him about this treasure was because he did not wish for Qin Yu to hear about it from someone else in the future, which would break their current relationship.

Just at this moment, Rourou’s voice suddenly rang out, “I want this Perishing Star.”

Qin Yu touched his nose and said helplessly, “Surely you won’t always be listening in to my conversations, right? I believe that you should give me some privacy.”

Rourou laughed coldly, “Privacy? Sure, I can give that to you. As for this matter regarding the Divine Stone Tribe, I’ll have to trouble Marquis Chongwu to take action yourself.”

Qin Yu felt suffocated and laughed bitterly, “Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. Lady Rourou, I will do whatever you say!”

“Hmph!”

“So, you’ve woken up? You slept for a few days in a row again; you must be hungry,” Qin Yu said as he walked outside, “Hurry and let the ‘root people’ make some dishes for you. I will accompany you for a meal. Staying here alone is too boring.”

Rourou surprisingly did not mock him, and after a few moments of silence, she agreed.

This abnormality made Qin Yu feel so anxious that he almost turned around to walk away. In his heart, he was thinking, ‘There shouldn’t be any problems with Rourou’s current condition, right?’

Outside the treehouse, Rourou was leaning back on her reclining chair made from branches. She was gritting her teeth, thinking to herself, ‘Qin Yu is such a bastard, he’s really hateful!’

After hesitating for a while, Qin Yu was still unwilling to give up the opportunity to eat and drink.

Thankfully, even though Rourou’s face was slightly ugly, the whole process was still rather smooth.

He had a full meal once again!

Qin Yu felt a bit sleepy and his eyelids started to droop. He looked at Rourou, who was opposite him, and asked, “I probably have to sleep for a while, could you let me sleep here?”

Rourou frowned and her face was full of disgust. However, in the end, she just coldly humphed and waved her hands. Immediately, a bunch of branches extended towards them and made the same reclining chair for Qin Yu.

“Haha, thank you!”

Qin Yu leaned back and turned his body around, thinking to himself, ‘There is really no one else who could give me this kind of enjoyment!’

They are just two trees, but they are so experienced in serving people. I don’t know where they learned all these techniques from, but it must have been really hard on them.

The wine that Qin Yu drank was indeed very strong, and in addition, he had been focusing a lot on cultivating recently. He was completely exhausted, and he fell asleep very quickly.

Opposite him, Rourou was still sipping on her wine slowly. When she saw that Qin Yu had fallen into deep slumber, the corners of her lips twitched a bit and she thought to herself, ‘This brat indeed has big guts, daring to sleep in front of me like that.’

However, her gaze softened considerably. Hesitantly, Rourou got up and knelt down beside Qin Yu and started to take a good look at his face.

The changing of one’s appearance, no matter how ingenious, was merely illusions to Rourou. This was because she recognized people through looking at their souls.

Qin Yu was indeed a stranger. She had no recollection of him whatsoever, but why couldn’t she control her thoughts around him? Raising her hand, Rourou used her finger and lightly brushed it against Qin Yu’s eyebrows.

She frowned and retracted her hand. A piece of white gauze appeared out of nowhere, and after observing it for a few seconds, it was burnt to ashes.

“Hmph!”

She scoffed and went back to sit down on her reclining chair, “Forget whatever happened just now. If either of you dare to remember it, I will burn you!”

The two subservient trees did not move at all and gave no reaction. This was indeed the best and wisest answer they could give. We are just two trees who don’t know anything, of course we can’t hear what our master is saying!

However…this Qin Yu person must have an extraordinary place in our master’s heart. It seems that we have to treat him better from now on. Who knows, there might come a day when he ends up sleeping on the same bed as our master.

Hu –

A ball of flames flew out and engulfed the two trees. A huge branch was instantly burnt to ashes, and the busy ‘root people’ that were on the ground held their heads as they knelt down.

Rourou gritted her teeth and said, “Do the two of you really wish to die?”

The two trees started to tremble aggressively.

However, the branch that was burnt off by the flames recovered to its original state in the blink of an eye. After all, from another angle, these trees were indeed creatures that were immortal and could not perish.

Of course being ‘immortal’ meant that they were hard to kill off, otherwise, it would be no use if they had a great longevity but were easily cut off by people.

……

While Qin Yu was fully asleep due to all the alcohol he drank and food he ate, the Green Willow Tribe Leader, who had returned to his own camp, had already paid a visit to that elder from the Divine Stone Tribe and told him about the news.

“Thank you, Tribe Leader!” the elder from the Divine Stone Tribe exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement.

The old Tribe Leader coughed lightly, “There is one thing that I feel I should remind you of. Please pass on the message to the old monkey. You must prepare the most precious treasure that the Divine Stone Tribe has, otherwise, Marquis Chongwu will not be satisfied and he might choose to not help you fully. If that happens, your tribe’s totem, the Divine Stone, will be furious. You, the old monkey, and others might be scolded to death.”

The Divine Stone Tribe elder widened his eyes and his lips started to tremble as he looked at the Green Willow Tribe Leader.

The Tribe Leader’s face was full of innocence as he said, “Why are you looking at me? Do you really think that even if I did not mention it, Marquis Chongwu would not learn about that treasure? Hehe, if you want to blame someone, you should blame that old monkey. Who asked him to be so arrogant back then? Saying things like ‘good fortune follows disaster’…now, he gets his retribution!”

The Divine Stone Tribe elder was very aware that the Green Willow Tribe Leader had grown up together with his Tribe Leader. They had a long and deep friendship, and it was normal for the both of them to curse at each other, so he was not angry over what the Green Willow Tribe Leader just said.

He merely smiled bitterly, also vaguely feeling that what the Green Willow Tribe Leader said was right. His own Tribe Leader was good in every way, but his love for showing off had not yet changed even though many years had passed. He could only cup his hands and say, “I will report this matter to the Tribe Leader.”
