Wraith Swamp.

"Can you come and kiss me?" said a towering old tree, soaked in filth, and shook its branches and leaves.

"Do you like me?" a nine phoenix flew to a halt in the air, flapping its wings, full of colors.

"I envy you!" the towering old tree burst out of its leaves with dark green sap, like sad tears.

"Envy is like?" Jiufeng flew around it a few times.

"Envy is a longing ......"

"Do you like the sky? That's nothing special, you can see when you look up, the sky only has those colors!" Jiu Feng felt compassion and landed on the branches and leaves of the old tree that were almost withered.

"I just love freedom!"

"What is freedom?"

"Go far away, high places, among flowers, by the river......" The old tree looked at his roots, feet firmly grasped by the swamp of the wraith.

"Is this also worthy of envy?" Jiufeng flapped his wings, not knowing why.

"When you fly freely...... And I'm ...... But they can only look up here. "Old trees.

"It's nothing ...... this," Jiufeng.

"I envy you......! I can only be as free as you if I am strong!" said the old tree, slamming away its branches and leaves, devouring the nine phoenixes who had no time to react.

Jiufeng, who had been drained of spiritual energy, lay weakly on the filthy muddy ground of the Resentful Spirit Swamp.

"Chatter...... I knew you liked it!" The old tree was cloudy and laughed wickedly.

"No ——"

The nine phoenixes fluttered their wings and wanted to fly into the air again, but they couldn't reach it.

"You'll love it in no time!"

"I won't ——"

......

The old tree smiled at the nine phoenixes who had to climb out of the resentful spirit swamp when they died.

Now.

It was greedily sucking on the glowing decay of the swamp, kneeling and licking the rotten corpse.

Its glorious wings faded into a damp dark green.

"One day, I'll kill you!" said Jiu Feng as he glared at the nine pairs of hideous eyes on the nine heads.

"Very good...... This kind of resentment is in line with the atmosphere here!" The old tree stretched its equally damp dark green petals.

"One day, I'll kill you!" Jiufeng repeated viciously.

......

After a long time.

"What is inside the Wraith Gate, which can make you so powerful in decades?" the old tree looked at Jiufeng in fear.

"How do you deserve to know?" Jiufeng flapped his wet dark green wings, grinned evilly, and pounced on it to bite wantonly.

When I watched the old tree wither and fall in the Swamp of the Wraith, there was not even any slag left......

Jiu Feng wiped the blood juice of the old tree at the corner of his mouth.

Look at the sky.

......

The nine phoenixes that were flying in the jungle at the beginning, their wings shining in the sunshine with colorful glow......

Kindness...... It really deserves to be envied......

It's just that no one can go back.
