Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bi Huan called the beasts in the city over so that they could see the scene after the Divine Wood had killed Yu Ying.

He said with a pained expression, “I didn’t expect the Divine Wood to be a murderer. Not only did it kill the cub, but it also killed Yu Ying, who accidentally saw the crime take place!”

The beasts couldn’t believe it.

But the truth was right in front of them. They had no choice but to believe it.

They even dug out many corpses from under the tree.

These corpses were all those beasts who had disappeared some time ago.

The physical evidence was conclusive.

When the relatives of the deceased saw the corpses, they realized that their family members had all been tortured to death. They were furious on the spot and determined that the divine tree was the murderer. They went crazy and kicked the Divine Wood and cut off its leaves.

They even uprooted the Divine Wood from the ground.

Seeing the huge Divine Wood fall to the ground, Huanhuan seemed to hear a desolate cry.

The former Divine Wood had now become a demonic tree in everyone’s eyes.

The beasts raised their torches and lit the Divine Wood.

The fire burned brightly, and the flames illuminated the ferocious faces of the beasts. They thought that they had avenged themselves and were very agitated.

Bi Huan watched as the Divine Wood gradually turned into a pile of charcoal in the fire. Her lips curled into a smile.

That smile was indescribably cold.

Huanhuan wanted to pounce over and save the Divine Wood, but she couldn’t touch it at all. She could only pass her fingers through its trunk again and again.

She watched the Divine Wood die in the fire.

The beasts that it had once protected with all its might were the beasts that killed it in the end.

The huge damage disappointed the Divine Wood. It didn’t even struggle or resist. It just sighed helplessly and died.

Huanhuan saw a green ball of light fly out of the Divine Wood.

With a snap, it shattered into powder.

Huanhuan muttered, “Is that the heart of nature?”

The system responded, “Yes.”

The Divine Wood was dead, and the heart of nature was broken.

Without protection, Divine Wood City welcomed an unprecedented huge insect disaster.

This insect plague even spread to the entire beast continent.

Countless lives died in this insect disaster. Bones piled up like mountains, and there were tired and struggling beasts everywhere.

What was worse was that the demons took the opportunity to invade the Divine Wood City. Under these series of attacks, the Divine Wood City was in a desperate situation.

In that cruel battle, the entire Divine Wood clan was almost wiped out.

In the end, it was Beast King Qian Ye who barely protected the last small portion of his people at the cost of sacrificing himself.

After the battle, Qian Ye’s body quickly shrank to the appearance of a 10-year-old child.

His life force was draining away. He was about to die.

Bi Huan ground the charred Divine Wood into powder and mixed it into water. He treated it as holy water and fed it to Qian Ye.

The dying Qian Ye actually miraculously came back to life.

Not only that, but they also discovered that as long as they drank the holy water, they could quickly heal the damage caused by the insects.

Hence, Bi Huan cut the Divine Wood into pieces, leaving only a small piece as backup. He ground the rest of the Divine Wood into powder and made holy water. He distributed it to the injured beasts to drink. He also saved a small portion of the surviving beasts.

When the other beast cities learned that the holy water of the Divine Wood City could resist the damage done by insects, they all bought it at a high price.

Bi Huan took the opportunity to earn a large sum of money. He used this money to rebuild the Divine Wood City and spent a lot of effort to invite the Divine Wood’s former good friend, the sword tree.

The sword tree did not know the truth about the Divine Wood’s death. It thought that the Divine Wood had withered and died because of a natural disaster, so it agreed to Bi Huan’s request and took root in the Divine Wood City to protect this forest.

After the insect disaster, the Divine Wood City gradually walked out of the shadows and was revived.

After the Divine Wood clan drank the holy water that was brewed with the Divine Wood, their lifespans were extended, and they aged much slower than ordinary beasts.

After saving many people, Bi Huan’s reputation soared.

When Huanhuan saw Bi Huan standing high up and receiving the respect of everyone, the anger in her heart burned.

She wanted to rush forward and tear apart that hypocrite’s true colors so that everyone would know the crimes he had committed!

However, the system said, “Do you really think everyone doesn’t know that the Divine Wood is innocent?”

Huanhuan was stunned.

“When those beasts found out that their loved ones had been killed, they were blinded by hatred. But when they thought about it later, wouldn’t they have realized that something was wrong?”

Back then, Bi Huan’s plan was impromptu. It was not very thorough.

As long as someone investigated carefully, they would definitely be able to find many suspicious points.

But none of them voiced these doubts.

Perhaps it was because of Bi Huan’s threats and promises, or perhaps it was because they knew that they were also accomplices. Feeling guilty, they could only choose to remain silent.

No matter the reason, the downfall of the Divine Wood clan was related to them.

“Their ignorance and rashness killed the Divine Wood. Their coldness and selfishness sealed the truth forever. Selfish beasts like them aren’t worth guarding at all. That’s the main reason why the heart of nature is completely broken.”

Huanhuan watched Bi Huan smile kindly at the beasts, and the anger in her heart gradually turned to disappointment.

Huanhuan felt suffocated.

These traitors did not deserve to call themselves the Divine Wood clan at all!

The system waved away the dream. “It’s almost dawn. You should go back.”

Huanhuan replied gloomily, “Okay.”

“After you leave this dream, you have to leave the Divine Wood City as soon as possible with Bai Di and Xue Ling. This place isn’t safe for you.”

“Mmhm.”

The system pinched her cheek. “If you’re unhappy, tell me. I’ll watch Pleasant Goat and Big, Big Wolf with you.”

Huanhuan’s mood improved a little.

“Okay.”

…

Huanhuan opened her eyes and woke up from the dream.

She sat up and rubbed her dizzy temples.

Qian Ye and Bi Huan were still asleep.

The system reminded her, “Once I leave the dream, my abilities will be restricted. Bi Huan and Qian Ye will wake up soon. Hurry up and leave this place.”

Once Qian Ye and Bi Huan woke up, it would not be so easy for Huanhuan to leave.

Huanhuan quickly jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.

The lotus was still entangled by the vines and could not move. When it saw Huanhuan coming, it called out happily, “Mom!”

Huanhuan called out Little Green, pulled away the vines, and saved the lotus.

The sprig of lotus returned to her head.

Huanhuan ran downstairs quickly and bumped into the oncoming Xue Hui.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Xue Hui couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so anxious?”

Instead of answering, Huanhuan asked, “Where are Bai Di and Xue Ling?”

She pointed to a guest room next door. “They’re both there.”

Huanhuan immediately ran toward the guest room.

She pushed open the door and rushed into the room. When she saw Xue Ling and Bai Di, she said, “Let’s get out of here!”

Bai Di was confused. “What happened?”

“It’s a long story. Let’s get out of here. I’ll tell you on the way.”

Although they didn’t understand what was going on, Bai Di and Xue Ling still trusted her unconditionally and promised to leave Divine Wood City right at this moment.

But before that, they had to think of a way to save Xuan Wei.
