The girl suddenly smiled at his almost paranoid look.
Her smile was filled with pity.
“Bi Huan, life and death are up to fate. Even gods don’t have the ability to revive the dead.”
Bi Huan refused to believe her. He said almost obsessively, “Impossible! There has to be a way to save Yu Ying! There has to be!”
The surroundings suddenly changed again.
The chamber had become a forest. It was night, and the sky was dark. Only the Moonlight Mushrooms were quietly glowing with a faint blue light.
Huanhuan looked around and quickly saw Bi Huan.
He was standing in the shadows under the tree. In front of him was a tall male beast in a black cloak.
The two of them seemed to be talking about something.
Huanhuan wanted to see more clearly. She walked over and saw the male beast hiding under the cloak. It was actually a demon!
This demon looked older. His temples were white, but he was still in good shape. His eyes shone with shrewdness.
He smiled. “All you have to do is kill the saintess and feed your mate her flesh. That’ll heal your mate.”
Hearing this, Bi Huan looked conflicted.
This demon was like the evil queen in a fairy tale, constantly luring her victims to eat the apples that contained poison.
“What are you hesitating for? Are you still counting on the Divine Wood to save your mate? Give it up. It’s just a tree. It can’t save anyone. If you want to protect your mate, you’re on your own.”
Bi Huan clenched her fists. “But if we kill the saintess, the Divine Wood will definitely discover…”
“Then destroy the Divine Wood too. I heard that if you refine the Divine Wood into medicine, it can make you live forever. Don’t you want to be with your mate forever? You don’t have to worry about death breaking you up again. You can stay together until the end of time.”

Bi Huan’s gaze gradually darkened. “Can I really live forever?”
“Of course. When the time comes, not only can you and your mate live forever, but you can also make your entire Divine Wood clan live forever. You’ll never age and become stronger. How good is that?!”
Bi Huan’s heart gradually turned cold. He spat out the words, “I understand.”
The demon beast smiled in satisfaction.
Their surroundings changed again.
They returned from the forest to the underground chamber.
The girl was still tied to the altar, her limbs firmly secured.
She looked at the approaching Bi Huan in horror and cried out in disbelief, “You really want to kill me? Are you crazy?!”
Bi Huan raised the bone knife and cut her wrist.
The wound was so deep that bone could be seen. Blood overflowed and fell into the bowl.
After the blood was filled, Bi Huan helped the girl bandage her wound. He left with a bowl full of blood.
Huanhuan quickly pulled the system along.
They saw Bi Huan mix the bowl of blood into medicine and feed it to Yu Ying.
The girl’s blood seemed to be working. Yu Ying’s face regained its color, and her spirits improved.
Bi Huan was very happy. He went to the secret underground chamber every day and cut the girl’s body. He would feed Yu Ying a bowl of blood each time.
Yu Ying was getting better, but the girl was getting weaker.
When Yu Ying had completely recovered, the girl finally couldn’t stand the torture and died in the secret underground chamber.
From then on, Bi Huan sealed the secret underground chamber and never stepped into it again.
Huanhuan looked at the girl’s skinny corpse and felt a chill in her heart.
She muttered, “Can this method of exchanging lives really save a dying person?”
The system said, “There’s no way to revive the dead in this world.”
“Then how did Yu Ying…”
“She won’t live long.”
The system’s words came true.
It didn’t take long for something to happen to Yu Ying’s body. She became bloodthirsty and brutal.
She liked nothing better than torturing animals until they were on the verge of death, then biting off their necks and drinking their blood.
Bi Huan sensed that something was wrong, but he could not stop Yu Ying, and he could not bear to expose what she had done. Not only did he help Yu Ying capture animals for her to torture and kill, but he also helped her cover her tracks so that no one else would notice.
Huanhuan watched coldly as Yu Ying became crazier and her appetite grew.
One day, Yu Ying was no longer satisfied with just killing animals. She extended her claws to the beasts in the city.
After killing the first, there were the second, third, and so forth.
One by one, beasts were starting to disappear. No one knew if they were dead or alive. It quickly attracted the attention of the beasts. Everyone began to investigate this matter, but even after a long time, they could not find the truth.
This was because no one expected the high priest to be behind this.
Unable to find out the truth, the beasts could only live in fear. They collectively went to pay their respects to the Divine Wood and begged it to give them instructions.
But without the saintess, no one could communicate with the Divine Wood.
Only then did they remember that they had not seen the saintess in a long time.
Huanhuan stood in front of the Divine Wood.
She looked at the tree in front of her. They were centuries apart, but she could still feel the sorrow in the Divine Wood’s emotions.
Huanhuan seemed to be summoned by something and involuntarily reached out to touch the Divine Wood.
But her fingers pierced through the Divine Wood.
No matter how real everything in front of her looked, it was just a dream.
She was in the middle of it. She could only watch. She couldn’t interfere.
The system stroked her head. “Do you want to keep watching?”
Huanhuan retracted her hand and closed her fingers. “Of course.”
In order to cover up his crimes, Bi Huan wanted to push all the crimes to the saintess and then make it seem as though the saintess had run away to escape from her crimes.
He had planned it well, but he did not expect Yu Ying to lose control. She sneaked out and killed a cub!
That cub would come every day to water the Divine Wood and talk to it, but the Divine Wood had seen this innocent and cute cub being brutally killed.
The usually gentle Divine Wood couldn’t help but be angry.
It pierced Yu Ying’s chest with a branch!
When Bi Huan found Yu Ying, she was dead. Her body lay in a pool of blood, cold and stiff.
Bi Huan was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
He looked up at the Divine Wood with extreme hatred. “You killed her!”
The Divine Wood did not move at all. Its branches were still stained with Yu Ying’s blood.
Bi Huan’s rationality completely collapsed.
The Divine Wood he had once believed in had personally killed his beloved mate.
The intense hatred made him withstand the backlash of the mate contract.
“I used to think you loved all living things, but you ignored my pleas!
“I worshiped you as a god, but you didn’t save my lover!
“Tao Wei is right. You’re not a divine tree at all. You’re just a useless old tree!
“You can’t save anyone! You don’t deserve our faith!”
