As dawn broke, Jiang Yuebai stepped outside for some fresh air.
Muttering to herself, "Liar, said we'd meet again and still calls me Little Bai, yet didn't say a word to me."
Jiang Yuebai stood under the tree, peeling off the bark, complaining with each piece she pried off, feeling disgruntled all the same.
At that moment, the old shopkeeper from the Mountain and Sea Building walked from the outer hall to the backyard, seeing Jiang Yuebai almost stripping the tree bare, he was both amused and exasperated.
"True Monarch, please don't peel any more, the tree won't survive if you continue."
Only then did Jiang Yuebai come back to her senses, finding a patch of the tree bald. With a casual Transformation Demon Technique, she absorbed the vitality from the surrounding plants, urging new bark to grow on the old tree.
The old shopkeeper approached Jiang Yuebai, holding a scroll in his arms, "The matter True Monarch asked to investigate this afternoon has yielded some result."
