“Tree Demon, I have no intention of invading. It is just that this forest is too big, I have no idea which areas belong to you, Tree Demon. Spare me, Tree Demon!”, Li Dian initially still thought he was too lucky as when they were trapped in the tent, Liang Che managed to kill two fighters sent by the Heavenly Networks while they were unprepared. He and Liang Che then escaped and unknowingly entered the relics.

After entering the forest, Li Dian had been wandering around aimlessly, slowly exploring it. When he saw an animal, he escaped. At night, he surprisingly realised that this devilish forest stopped attacking him when he put on the tattered linen cloth.

Initially, he treated the cloth just as an armour but after putting it on, he was as good as invisible!

However, the happiness did not last long as he had just bumped into a tree spirit!

It was not as though Li Dian had not seen one in the movie, A Chinese Ghost Story. In the movie, Joey Wong was his lover in his dreams. How great would it be if Xiaoqian was there. As in the movie, Xiaoqian should appear first but why did he immediately had to face an old tree spirit?!

They are not following the script! How? It was nervous to be waiting!

Inside, Lu Shu knew that the old tree spirit was not the one in the movie as how would the relics have the same storyline as a folklore? This old spirit was not that old spirit!

Lu Shu sneered on the tree, “You don’t know which area belongs to me? The entire forest belongs to me!”

Li Dian almost vomited blood on the spot, “Spare me, madam! Spare me, madam!”

“From Li Dian’s distress, +999!”

Lu Shu said loudly, “You have the scent of fire, what is going on? Are you thinking of burning down my forest?”

“No, no, I used to have a companion who has the power to control fire. I must have gotten the scent of fire from him!”

“Where is he?”, Lu Shu asked.

“I have no idea. We split up once we arrived!”

Lu Shu nodded. It seemed like Liang Che had really entered the relics and the so-called scent of fire on Li Dian was extremely faint. He just wanted to hear from Li Dian if Liang Che also entered the relics.

Although this Li Dian was a bit ruthless, his sins were barely comparable to Liang Che’s. If Li Dian was a conman, then Liang Che would be an unscrupulous felony.

Lu Shu hesitated for a bit, “Why can’t I feel any magical energy on you? Where did this tattered linen cloth come from?”

“This was handed down by my ancestors!”, Lu Shu said nervously.

“Alright, I am sleepy already. Come forward and serve me”, Lu Shu said happily.

“I have weak kidneys since young, premature ejaculation and extremely rough skin texture. Tree Demon, why don’t you let me off!”, said Li Dian as he crouched on the ground in fear…

“From Li Dian’s distress, +999!”

“Sure, since Xiaoqian has escaped, I shall marry you to the old demon of Montenegro to make up for the numbers”, said Lu Shu coldly.

Li Dian’s body on the ground shivered as he thought what was the Tree Demon up to. Him? Marrying the old demon of Montenegro?

“From Li Dian’s distress, +999!”

He thought the old demon of Montenegro only wanted women. An old man like him having to be married off to the old demon of Montenegro? The thought of it made Li Dian shiver in fear.

The main point was… this was really that Tree Demon!

Actually, Li Dian was very cautious. At that point in time, he had started suspecting if someone was pulling a prank on him and he wanted to look up to see who was up there but the moment he lifted the tattered cloth, the trees could sense his magical energy and started to creep towards him. That scene was so traumatising that Li Dian hurriedly covered his head with cloth once more!

He still questioned if it was the Tree Demon up there. If it was not him then there was a problem he could not figure out: did that person up there also have the ability to conceal his magical energy?

That would be on another level. Li Dian himself was still squatting on the ground and yet he had already jumped up a tree… At that moment, Li Dian was still unsure and his fear remained.

“From Li Dian’s distress, +999!”

“From now on, answer all my questions”, Lu Shu said, “What is your name?”

“Liang Che…”

Lu Shu paused for a while, “How old are you?”

“25…”

Lu Shu snickered. What a sleek old man. From his voice, he did not seem 25.

He leisurely rolled his fingertips on the tree branch, “Where’s your identification card, throw it out for me to have a look.”

Li Dian panicked and was appalled that the Tree Demon even knew what an identification card was!? Did he want the 1st or 2nd generation card?! Must as well he made a photocopy for him?!

“From Li Dian’s distress, +513!”

Lu Shu could no longer hold his laughter. He did not have many Tree Demon tricks up to his sleeves so he figured that Li Dian would realise it sooner or later. It was about time he stopped.

By then, Li Dian was extremely sure that it was a human being above him…

He almost peed in his pants. If Li Dian knew who that person was, he would definitely slaughter him!

However, Li Dian clearly knew that even if that person was a human being, he might not be able to defeat him. After all, they were on different levels. While that person was having fun on the trees until Li Dian was afraid, he himself did not even dare to raise his head. If not for the tattered linen cloth covering him, he would have died a long time ago!

Lu Shu happily looked at Li Dian and asked demandingly, “What do you think will happen if I snatch this piece of tattered cloth from you?”

“Hero… What do you exactly want?!”, Li Dian was petrified. Would he be able to survive without the cloth? Li Dian crouched on the ground and used the cloth to wrap around his head then resorted to crawling in order to escape. He really wanted to see if that person above him could really remain unscathed in this forest.

In the end, regardless of where he went, the person above him followed closely. The forest was then filled with sounds of fluent leaping.

Li Dian wanted to go all out just to see who was the person above him who was making a fool out of him but before he could, the tree branches inched towards him, resulting in him quickly hiding under the cloth again!

Lu Shu sat on the tree branches shaking his legs and laughed as he watched how Li Dian wanted to lift his head but did not dare to, “Hahahaha, why don’t you dare to raise your head and look at me. Have you lost your spirit or am I not seductive enough?”

“From Li Dian’s distress, +678!”

“Quickly throw out your identification card”, Lu Shu said as he did not want to waste more time with him. Li Dian obediently took out his identification card and left it on the ground right beside him as he thought that perhaps he would be able to see who that person was if he came down to pick it up.

However, before he could react, Lu Shu used The Corpse of the Dog in mid-air to seize Li Dian’s identification card swiftly. Lu Shu saw the information on the card, “Li Guowei, 32 years old, address is Xiazhou…”

Wow, this old man even used a fake identification card…
