Lin Daiyu asked the Tree Demon Granny in confusion, "Didn’t you say you were just going to absorb his oxygen? Why do you still need to tie him up?"
"Oh, that’s just for ceremony. Don’t think too much about it," the Tree Demon Granny replied.
No matter how Lin Daiyu looked at it, she found it hard not to think too much, as the way he was tied up was really conspicuous.
"Lin Meimei, quick, save me! The Tree Demon Granny wants to suck out my Yang energy!" Rosen said in panic.
Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, reassured, "Don’t worry, Granny just wants to absorb your oxygen, not your Yang energy. Just relax, nothing will happen to you."
Upon hearing this, Rosen’s face turned pale with shock, and he said, "Yang energy is oxygen, and oxygen is Yang energy! You’ve been fooled by the Tree Demon Granny!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Daiyu didn’t understand.
Rosen explained, "Do you know why zombies can’t find targets once people stop breathing?"
"Why?" Lin Daiyu asked sweetly and naively.
"That’s because zombies identify targets using Yang energy. Breathing produces Yang energy, so zombies can find targets this way. In this context, Yang energy actually means carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide carries heat out of the body. Theoretically, oxygen and Yang energy are not the same thing, but practically, they’re transmitted through the respiratory tract in the same way. Therefore, while absorbing Yang energy, oxygen is also absorbed simultaneously. In fact, zombies just use Yang energy to identify targets; they mainly feed on oxygen."
After Rosen finished speaking, Lin Daiyu felt a bit dizzy and mumbled, "Green carp fish and donkey, green donkey inside..."
Lin Daiyu really got perplexed by Rosen’s explanation.
However, Rosen didn’t pick up her words and continued, "I wasn’t playing a tongue twister with you, nor was I joking. I wouldn’t joke about my life, right? In reality, the Tree Demon Granny’s true target is indeed oxygen."
"So, in the end, Tree Demon Granny just wants to absorb oxygen? That’s not a problem, is it? It’s not like she’s absorbing your Yang energy; what’s there to worry about?" Lin Daiyu said speechlessly.
Rosen explained again, "I actually wish she’d absorb my Yang energy, since Yang energy is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that does me no good. I wish Tree Demon Granny would absorb it. But what I fear most is her taking my oxygen. That would leave me oxygen-deprived, causing anaerobic respiration in my body and producing a lot of lactic acid. Then Tree Demon Granny would definitely find an excuse to say she wants yogurt, and I might end up drained like being eaten by a spider demon."
After Rosen’s lengthy explanation, Lin Daiyu finally understood what he meant.
"So, you’re worried about the Tree Demon Granny finding every way to consume you, right?" Lin Daiyu asked. Latest content publıshed on novèlfire.net
"Not entirely, I’m mostly worried about oxygen deprivation. Lack of oxygen leads to anaerobic respiration in the body, resulting in waste accumulation, which can’t be metabolized. You understand what I mean, right?"
"I understand, you’re worried about suffocation?" Lin Daiyu finally realized what Rosen had been trying to say all along.
At this moment, Lin Daiyu saw Rosen as a friend. Ever since they had met once in the Celestial Court, Lin Daiyu had been captivated by Rosen’s demeanor. Additionally, since Rosen was her savior, Lin Daiyu was immensely grateful in her heart.
To save Rosen, she was determined to confront the Tree Demon Granny.
She immediately said, "Tree Demon Granny, I order you to stop harming Rosen. Look at him, tied up with ropes; he already has bruises all over. If you don’t kill him, he’ll definitely take you to court afterward."
Upon hearing Lin Daiyu’s threat, the Tree Demon Granny was a bit frightened and asked, "Are you referring to the court of the Celestial Court?"
It was said that the Celestial Court had a court, where the gods gathered and established a church, but that was in the Western Heaven.
"I’m talking about the court of our Eastern Celestial Court, the one that recently adopted Western legal systems and was established," Lin Daiyu said.
Upon hearing it, the Tree Demon Granny felt relieved immediately.
This way, she had nothing to worry about. After all, the court of the Eastern Celestial Court was just established, everything was still developing, and its systems and regulations were incomplete, full of loopholes. Even if a case was filed, they couldn’t deal with her.
Thinking about this, the Tree Demon Granny confidently said, "Then go ahead and file a complaint at the Celestial Court."
The Tree Demon Granny evidently was not afraid of this tactic, as the Celestial Court was far away, and such distant issues couldn’t be detected over there.
At this moment, the Tree Demon Granny even brought up the Black Mountain Demon, saying, "This is the territory of the Black Mountain giegie. Do you think the Jade Emperor can cover the Black Mountain with a single hand? Let me tell you the truth, if Black Mountain giegie just thinks about it, the whole Black Mountain will be shrouded in gloom!"
Upon hearing the Tree Demon Granny’s words, Lin Daiyu slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said, "What, so you’re saying if we defeat the Black Mountain Old Ghost, we can save Rosen?"
Lin Daiyu’s eyes unexpectedly emitted two golden lights, and they looked towards the faraway pitch-black mountain.
Atop the mountain, there appeared two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, looking in this direction from afar.
