Chapter 1733 - 793: Inescapable Fate

Chapter 1733: Chapter 793: Inescapable Fate

Though the Purple Leaf Bodhi had long since withered, the little girl’s habits never changed.

She still liked to share her secrets and little gossips with Zizi.

However, unlike the beginning, she changed "speaking" to "writing."

Like the last portrait, she recorded every little detail from around her, placed them in a box, and buried it underground.

She hoped that one day, when Zizi awoke from "hibernation," he would see every word she had said.

Time flew by, and eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

When the little girl finally grew into a graceful young lady.

The Purple Leaf Bodhi still hadn’t awoken from "hibernation."

"Zizi, I’m leaving the Eight Desolates Divine Realm. I hope that when I return, you’ll have grown taller than me."

For the last time, the young lady excavated the earth in front of the withered wood, placed a written letter in the box.

Her silhouette disappeared into the dazzling sunlight, the sky, a clear blue.

After the young lady left, Si Garden gradually fell to ruin, overgrown with wild grass.

Several years passed again, in a certain year during spring, when the gentle spring wind blew over the uninhabited Si Garden, a tender green shoot grew in front of that segment of withered Purple Leaf Bodhi wood.

The shoot grew faster and faster, within a day and night, that segment of lifeless withered wood suddenly grew into a towering tree.

Golden branches, purple leaves, blocking out the sunlight.

A shriek of an eagle resounded, there was an eagle soaring across the clear sky.

A hand, long and strong, belonging to a young man turned over the soil in front of the tree.

The box carrying countless memories from the little girl who grew from child to young lady was dug up.

The box was already filled with various letters.

The handwriting on it had changed from childish to elegant and graceful; the only constant was that each letter began with the words "Zizi."

In the first year, the little girl repeatedly wrote only one sentence.

"Zizi, when will you wake from hibernation? Yue’er misses you."

In the second year, perhaps the girl had learned more words, the content of her letters gradually increased.

"Zizi, mother has a baby, I will soon be an elder sister."

"Zizi, I no longer climb trees or steal bird eggs. Papa said as an elder sister, I must be a role model."

In the third year.

"Zizi, I now have twin younger brothers. They look like glutinous rice dumplings, round faces, big eyes. The cool one is called Ah Ri, the one who likes to cry is called Ah Guang."

"Zizi, I went to the Netherworld again. Godmother gave birth to a pair of adorable dragon and phoenix twins."

"I met a very cool ghost in the Netherworld, even cooler than my godfather the Netherworld God."

In the fourth year.

"Ah Guang and Ah Ri are growing bigger and bigger, they’re very clingy to me, I can only sneak back to see you."

In the fifth year.

"Zizi, I finally heard news about Brother Jiu Ye. His eyes have healed, yet he seems to have forgotten me (disappointed), have I told you about Brother Jiu Ye before?"

In the sixth year.

"Zizi, Ah Ri and Ah Guang love to fight. Mother got angry, she told Papa to send Ah Ri to the military camp, and send Ah Guang to Futu Heaven to study medicine. I’m very reluctant to part with them."

In the seventh year.

"Zizi, I’m the only one left in the Eight Desolates Divine Palace, Ah Guang and Ah Ri have both left. Why haven’t you returned yet? I’m so lonely by myself."

In the eighth year.

"Zizi, I met Brother Jiu Ye again, I seem to have fallen for him. Just like how Papa likes Mother. I want to find him..."

The letters fluttered and fell to the ground.

The word "love" appeared particularly glaring.

That was the last letter; after that, there would be no more.

Zitang Su stood quietly there.

Behind him, the leaves of the Purple Leaf Bodhi Tree fluttered in the air.

Purple Bodhi leaves fell to the ground.

"Su, do you really want to give up everything and return to the Lower Realm? You know, you’ve endured over eighty trials, just need this one trial, and then..."

"I wish to."

"You don’t regret it? You know mortals are heartless, that woman’s fate carries the Red Bird Tribulation, destiny is..."

"She saved my life, so I’ll devote my life to her."

Bodhi is inherently heartless, but once it has a heart, it remains unchanged forever.

She is facing adversity in this life, knowing she’s doing poorly, he can’t let go.

"The word ’love’ is like poison to you, once in the heart, it corrodes the bones. You must remember, once you enter the Lower Realm, you’ll lose Buddha nature. To return again, you’d need the stars to shift, the Tianhe to fall. You inherently are not a person of the Lower Realm, affected by muddied energy, for every increase in emotion (desire), a part of memory will be lost, take care."

The sighs of celestial and buddha figures remained echoing.

He finally returned, willing to exchange tens of thousands of years of cultivation and Buddha nature, yet she... was no longer around, she fell for someone else.

He doesn’t blame her for liking someone else; if that person could dedicate a lifetime of exclusive love to her, he’d accompany her from afar, content to exist in her memory, forever being that Purple Leaf Bodhi.

But that person couldn’t give her happiness; he would ruin her.

Zitang Su’s brows were filled with an irrepressible melancholy, a throbbing pain in his heart.

A sound of fluttering wings, the Three Realms Eagle landed beside him.

"Goo goo."

The Three Realms Eagle looked at the letters on the ground, letting out a brief screech as if it was decrying the injustice for its master.

Zitang Su squatted down, dug the earth.

From beneath the soil, another box was revealed.

In that box, there was a painting.

The little girl’s countenance vividly depicted in the painting.

"Let’s go."

Zitang Su carefully took the painting, and with the eagle, drifted away.

The one loved has departed, fortunately her fragrant soul remains.

He would eventually find her.

This life, he would find her before that man does, even if it meant tearing through the heavens, he’d safeguard her life after life.

Ye Lingyue’s divine sense abruptly returned.

She was within the Heaven and Earth Array, a look of astonishment in her eyes.

"So, what I’ve been observing for so long wasn’t the memory of Divine Doctor Yun couple, nor the memory of the little girl, but instead the memory of Master Zi?"

Ye Lingyue regained her composure.

The strand of memory within the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, or rather the strand of mysterious power of heaven and earth, indeed belonged to Master Zi.

Those memories turned out to be Master Zi’s... first love!

Ye Lingyue’s mouth twitched violently.

Her seemingly banished immortal, no different from a Heavenly Person stoic master, also once liked someone!

Who would’ve thought, Master Zi is quite the romantic fool.

And Master Zi is a lolicon, he liked Divine Doctor Yun couple’s daughter.

No, who exactly is Master Zi?

Eighty-one Heavenly Tribulations, Purple Leaf Bodhi?

Could it be that Master Zi is a Tree Spirit?

"Well, next time I see Master Zi, I’ll ask him, speaking of which, what does Divine Doctor Yun’s daughter look like that could have entrapped even that ice mountain Master Zi?"

Ye Lingyue was full of curiosity.

~Grandma Fu makes her entry (waves Queen Whip): Who guessed Master Zi is a tree? Where are your eyes!! Are there really such handsome trees? Mistaken voters comfort Master Zi’s broken little spirit.

Master Zi (expressionless): Vote for her, and there’ll be extra updates~
