Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"No, let's find some more people to play with. It's getting dark, and if you guys leave, I'll be very bored here by myself."

Qin Qi looked very relaxed, but in reality, assimilating the Bitter Love Tree was a very difficult task, and he couldn't leave for the time being.

He wouldn't have dragged the two of them into playing chess if he hadn't been so bored.

"I'm sorry, I really can't afford to lose anymore. You can play here by yourself, we're going to bed."

"Goodbye, Mr. Qin Qi. If you are really bored, you can talk to the stone spirit over there."

Feng Qi pulled Kong Qing and the other two to turn around and leave. They had lost too much at this point, and their mentality simply couldn't take it anymore!

"Sigh, forget about playing with him."

"At least you guys are pretty, so playing with you guys is pleasing to the eye, but playing with him is pure self-torture."

Qin Qi turned to look at Shi Kuan, then shook his head. He would rather play chess with himself than go play with that stone spirit.

"Then you can play by yourself."

Feng Qi revealed a charming smile, then pulled Kong Qing and turned to leave.

"Ugh, this lousy tree."

Qin Qi shook his head as he looked at the Bitter Love Tree. Rather than wasting time here, he would rather lead the monsters of Beishan in another uprising.

Now it's only a matter of time before he assimilates the Bitter Love Tree, and there are no obstacles in the process, but precisely because there are no obstacles...

He felt bored because there were no problems to solve.

The monsters of Tushan had all gone to rest, and the Bitter Love Tree emitted a faint light. Only Qin Qi and Shi Kuan, who was still praying, remained under the tree.

[I'm not doing anything weird: "@FouFouTheElfWhoLovesTreasureHolders, what research results have you made on the magic I sent you?"]

[The Treasure Chest Sprite: "You just gave me a short time, I haven't even learned it yet."]

[The Treasure Chest Fairy: "Don't be in such a hurry like Philon, okay? Relax a little, it's okay to go a bit slower."]

"I'm not doing anything weird or crooked: 'A tiny bit? I'd say a tiny bit more. How long do you plan to wait before giving me your research results?'"

[The Treasure Chest-Loving Elf: "In a short while (three or four years)."]

[I'm not talking about some weird or crooked path: "That wretched concept of time from immortal beings!"]

[I'm not doing anything weird: "@Dad, Dad, how's your magic potion research going? It should be alright, right?"]

[Dad: "No problem, I've already learned the prescription. We just need to wait for the ingredients to arrive."]

[Dad: "I've already ordered takeout. It should arrive along with your package in a while."]

【I'm not spouting nonsense: "Sigh, another day of leisurely idleness."】

[The Treasure Chest-Loving Elf: "It's soft and fluffy!"]

[The blue water goddess: "This is how life should be, the dogma of the Axis religion."]

The Blue Water Goddess: "Leave today's troubles behind; don't do things you don't want to do."

The Blue Water Goddess: "If we want to do something, we must do it. As long as we put our minds to it, we can definitely achieve it!"

The blue water goddess: "If we can't do it, it's not our fault; if we can't, it's definitely the world's fault!"

【I'm not being crooked: "It sounds like a cult; the gods they worship are definitely not legitimate deities."】

[The blue water goddess: "You're not a proper god! I am Aqua, the water goddess!"]

Qin Qi teased Aqua for a while in the chat group, then left the chat group and yawned.

I made a hammock out of vines, then lay down on it, closed my eyes, and began to relax and pass the time.

Meanwhile, in the house where the Tushan fox demons lived, Kong Qing and Feng Qi were not asleep; they were talking about something.

..........................................................................................

"Sister, are we just going to watch like this and do nothing?"

Kong Qing looked in the direction of the Bitter Love Tree, her heart filled with worry, and spoke up.

What can we do?

"You saw what happened today. I can't beat him in a debate, and we're not as strong as him."

"Even if we use our brains, we can't beat him. We've lost on every front. What else do you think we can do?"

Feng Qi sighed. She was unwilling to hand over Tushan, but there was really no other way. They couldn't win the fight, they couldn't win the argument, and they didn't want to die.

What else can we do but obediently listen to others?

"Then, then we'll give him some food tomorrow, and then poison it, or secretly cast a spell while he's sleeping."

"We have to do something, right? Are we really just going to stand by and watch them control the Bitter Love Tree?"

"We must help the Bitter Love Tree!"

Kong Qing spoke anxiously.

"My silly sister, what do you think is the fundamental reason why we are able to get along peacefully with each other now?"

"It's because we pose no threat to him; in his eyes, we're not even a nuisance to be eliminated."

"That's why we survived. If you really did something to him... don't forget what the situation is like in Beishan now."

"He conquered the sixteen cities of Beishan in just ten days. The number of monsters and humans who died at his hands could fill the entire Tushan Mountain!"

"And the Bitter Love Tree may not need our help... or perhaps it doesn't need us at all."

Fengqi looked at the Bitter Love Tree. If the Bitter Love Tree really had its own ideas, then it should be asking them for help now.

As long as the Bitter Love Tree sends a signal, she believes that the fox demons of Tushan will not be afraid of death, and they will definitely protect the sacred tree in their hearts.

But no, neither she, nor Kong Qing, nor any of the other Tu Shan fox demons sensed anything.

This made Feng Qi even more determined in her mind: the Bitter Love Tree didn't need them! And they didn't need to be restricted by the Bitter Love Tree!

She wants to break free from the constraints of the Bitter Love Tree. Tomorrow she will go to Qin Qi again and seek a way to escape from his grasp.

Kong Qing looked at her older sister and felt that her sister seemed to have changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly had changed.

But she just had that feeling. She looked at the Bitter Love Tree and silently prayed that everything would return to peace!

..............................................................................

On the second day.

When Feng Qi went to find Qin Qi, she was stopped by Tu Shan Hong Hong, who had only been born not long ago.

"Fengqi, Fengqi, aren't we having class today?"

Tu Shan Honghong was still a little girl at this time. She stepped forward, grabbed Feng Qi's clothes, looked up, and stared with her big eyes as she asked.

“Miss Honghong, there’s no class today. I have some things to take care of… By the way, Miss Honghong, have you sensed anything?”

Feng Qi thought for a moment and then asked, "The three sisters, Tu Shan Hong Hong, Tu Shan Ya Ya, and Tu Shan Rong Rong, are not considered orthodox Tu Shan fox demons."

They were born from the Bitter Love Tree and are naturally endowed with a strong sense of the tree and its power of love. Phoenix may not be able to sense the problem, but they might be.

"Hmm? No."

Tu Shan Honghong tilted her head, looking puzzled. She didn't understand what Feng Qi meant by "feeling".

She should be able to sense something, right?

"It's alright, Miss Honghong, you don't need to worry about it. By the way, did you secretly contact Shi Kuan before?"

Feng Qi's expression suddenly turned serious, and she spoke.

“Hmm, that person looks really pitiful. Fengqi, didn’t you say that our responsibility as Tushan fox demons is to help people reincarnate and continue their destiny?”

"So I wanted to use my own strength to help him."

Tu Shan Honghong looked nervous under Feng Qi's gaze; she knew she had done something wrong.

But she really couldn't bear to see him like this; the feelings she felt shouldn't be like this.

“Oh, Miss Hong, I know you’re soft-hearted, but this person has already made a wish to the Bitter Love Tree.”

"His lover will be reincarnated again, but whether they will be together in the next life is not something we can decide."

"If they are not destined to be together, they can only wait another lifetime until their destinies intersect again, and then they can be together."

Seeing Tu Shan Honghong's remorseful expression, Feng Qi sighed and reached out to pat her head.

"Alright, Miss Honghong, I'm not angry anymore. I really have things to do today, so you can go and have fun by yourself, okay?"

Feng Qi spoke.

"Yes, Fengqi, you're the best."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Honghong happily hugged Feng Qi, then turned and hurriedly ran away.

She plans to take Ya Ya and Rong Rong out to play today and have a good time exploring the area.

"Miss Hong, I have no right to say whether what you're doing is right or wrong, after all, everything I do now..."

"From the perspective of the Tushan fox demons, almost everything is wrong, but I have already come this far and there is no turning back."

Feng Qi turned around and continued walking towards the Bitter Love Tree. At this moment, the two were going in opposite directions, one simple and kind, the other with a firm will.

When Feng Qi arrived at the Bitter Love Tree, Qin Qi was still lying in his self-woven hammock, taking a nap.

"The sun is so bright, aren't you getting up?"

Feng Qi spoke.

"You've got nothing to do after you get up, so what, you've decided to play a couple more games of chess with me?"

0 · Requesting flowers ····· ·····

Qin Qi lay in the hammock, looking at the sky. At this point, he had completed one-third of the assimilation of the Bitter Love Tree.

After another two days or a day and a half, assimilation will be complete.

"I'm not playing anymore. I can't beat you no matter how I play. I don't want to play anymore."

"I have no other choice now, but I still don't want to admit defeat. I want to get rid of this tree."

"I don't want to be restricted by it anymore; I want freedom."

Feng Qi stepped forward and placed her hand on the Bitter Love Tree, making one last attempt to sense it, but she still failed.

The demonic power within her body weakened day by day. The power of the Tushan fox demon came from love, from the Bitter Love Tree.

Once you lose your connection with the Bitter Love Tree, your power will continuously diminish, no matter how strictly you adhered to its rules.

No matter how much you sacrifice for reincarnation and continuing your destiny, once you are no longer useful and can no longer sense the Bitter Love Tree, you will be directly abandoned.

Even the Lord of Tushan is no exception. He may appear incredibly glamorous on the surface, but in reality, he is nothing more than a dog under the Bitter Love Tree.

"If you want to take all the power back, then here you go."

Feng Qi voluntarily gave up all her power, returning everything she had gained from the Bitter Love Tree.

When her power returned to the Bitter Love Tree, Qin Qi's assimilation process accelerated significantly.

“I cannot defeat you, but I am, after all, the Lord of Tushan. I can still mobilize my power to slow down your assimilation.”

"The other fox demons are the same; the energy belonging to the Bitter Love Tree in their bodies is resisting being assimilated by you."

“But I can make all the fox demons give up their resistance, as long as you promise me one thing.”

.... ..... ...

Feng Qi played her last card: the entire Tu Shan. She couldn't win, but she tried to minimize her losses.

"What if I don't agree?"

Whether you give up resisting or not is meaningless to me; it's just a matter of one day sooner or one day later.

Qin Qi sat up from the hammock, looked down at Feng Qi below, and asked.

"Then I can only beg you to agree. I lost this game. Please let me have a move, let me have one piece."

"You're so amazing, you'll definitely be the winner in the end. Giving way to me will not only show your confidence and strength, but also make me feel grateful."

"This would also allow you to end this boring waiting time sooner, so please give me a break, okay?"

Feng Qi spoke.
