"Didn't you drain them all?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Idiot human, I only drained their spiritual essence, not their vitality."
"This body naturally contains spiritual essence, which I happened to not need."
The French Plane Tree said.
"Oh, I get it. You're trying to let the surplus spiritual essence and Power of Nature be absorbed by other trees, so you don't overflow yourself."
He suddenly understood.
"Hmph, at least you're not completely dumb."
The French Plane Tree arrogantly replied.
"Then you could just pick any tree, right? Look, that one isn't the same species as you, isn't it? Perfect chance to find yourself a wife or husband."
Liu Zheng pointed to another French Plane Tree.
"If it were that simple, would I be hesitating here? Haven't you heard of 'two tigers can't share one mountain'?"
The French Plane Tree rolled its eyes at him.
"What's there to fear? It's just a newborn sapling. Could it possibly beat you?"
