A Helpless Sigh (4)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The Spirit Tree crouched on the ground until the last piece of Meng Qiu's soul slid across its fingertips. It then slowly stood up. Instead of turning its back and looked at Qin Song and the others, it just raised its head and looked in the direction which Meng Qiu's soul had gone to.
That was the kid which it had guided for thousands of years…
It had watched him grew, became matured, and managed the entire Soul World orderly and methodically. It had also watched him walked step by step into the path of self-extermination. It had witnessed the whole life of Meng Qiu, but was unable to save him.
The Spirit Tree was the origin of the souls. It knew nothing about the emotions and lusts owned by the humans as excess feelings would only reduce the pureness of its soul. It had always thought that this was right, but it didn't realize that it was its affectionate but also ruthless attitude that had destroyed Meng Qiu.
