“So, I diagnosed the old tree the way I would a human being. As expected, I found an area that was sick.”
Feng Wu pointed at a horizontal branch in the northeast. “It was on that branch, so I was able to cross all the other branches off the list.”
Everyone was astonished.
Was that even possible?!
It was true. They had never thought of such a way.
Even the Black Robe Ghost King was hearing it for the first time, let alone Dugu Yamo, Feng Xun, and the others. It was such a novel idea that they all stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu went on smiling. “After I confirmed the branch, I could exclude 90% of the flowers, and I was able to focus on one area.
“But it’s a long branch. I wouldn’t have enough time to scan it from one end to the other.
“So —”
Feng Wu smiled. “I talked to the plant spirit. I told the three-leaf flower that if it could tell me where it was, I would treat it.”
“You can talk to the plant spirit.” The Black Robe Ghost King looked at Feng Wu in amazement.
Feng Wu grinned. “Of course.”
Everyone else found it incredible, but Feng Wu didn’t say anything else.
Because she really could do it.
Because!
She still had a card up her sleeve: the fairy in her mind.
The fairy had given her the 12 Trials of Love, which were getting harder and harder. The fairy was worried that Feng Wu would complain so had hidden away.
Feng Wu usually ignored her. But the fairy was useful now, so she had dragged her out.
The three-leaf flower lay quietly in Feng Wu’s palm.
“Just like that, I found it. It tried to hide from me, but where could it go?” Feng Wu smiled at the ghost king. “Have we passed the trial?”
The ghost king stared at Feng Wu with a cold look in his eyes.
He had thought —
He had thought that the girl had just been full of hot air when she said that she would lead the Survival Team to success, but he didn’t expect that the girl could pass two trials in a row.
She had surprised him twice.
She really was an amazing girl.
“Do you really want to win?” he stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu returned his stare.
The ghost king narrowed his eyes. No one had been able to stay so calm in front of him before.
“Even the girl in the Chosen Team isn’t as level-headed as you.” The Black Robe Ghost King suddenly chuckled. “Interesting. Very interesting.”
“I want to live,” Feng Wu said seriously.
“Good.” The ghost king looked at Feng Wu, sensing her vitality and her desire to live.
He looked into the distance and seemed to be lost in thought.
“If I had been like you back then, I wouldn’t have… Forget it!” The ghost king glanced at Feng Wu. “Go ahead. If you can pass the next test, I’ll tell you a secret.”
After that, he slowly disappeared into thin air.
A staircase was lowered down for them.
“Wow! Stairs!”
“Did we finally pass the second floor? This is great!”
“We survived! We’re so lucky to have Feng Wu here!”
…
Feng Xun rolled his eyes at Feng Sang and Dugu Yamo. “I told you already. Xiao Wu can always come up with a way. Do you see that now?”
