Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 295 Gaining the Peach Destroys the Tree!

The abbot stroked his white beard and smiled at Zhou Wei.

Finally, he patted Zhu Qi's head and said, "Since it was given to you by Zhou Tanyue, then it is your destiny. Eat!"

Zhu Qi looked somewhat embarrassed and glanced at his senior brothers.

With a determined heart, he buried his head in the peach and started eating it.

The crisp, crackling sound reached the ears of the monks, making their hearts bleed with envy.

But as they listened, everyone suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why is there still a crunching sound even after Zhu Qi has finished eating all the peaches?

The blue-robed monk looked up and saw a scene that infuriated him.

Zhou Wei was hanging on a tree, holding a large peach in her hands, and was intently eating it.

Peach juice dripped down her lips, only to be nimbly caught by her tongue.

They didn't want to waste a single drop of peach juice!

Zhou Wei was focused on eating, ignoring the angry curses of several monks around her.

After she swallowed the last bite of peach flesh and threw the peach pit to the princess, she burped and looked down at the cliff face.

"Oh dear, I apologize to you gentlemen. I've been up here for too long, and I'm feeling tired and thirsty. I couldn't resist looking at these peaches!"

"Appetite is a primal human desire. I am following my heart. These masters are all highly accomplished monks. I hope they won't blame me?"

Zhou Wei's words completely enraged everyone.

The monk in yellow robes could no longer contain himself, and with a swift movement of his feet, he flew towards the cliff face.

Zhou Wei remained calm, reached out and grabbed the peach tree, hanging in the air.

As the yellow-robed monk reached for her, Zhou Wei activated her golden right foot and kicked him away.

In mid-air, the yellow-robed monk looked at his chest in disbelief.

There is a clear footprint on the monk's robe!

Upon seeing this, the green-robed monk leaped into the air and caught the yellow-robed monk.

Both of them were shocked when they landed.

The monk in yellow was shocked by Zhou Wei's kick; he hadn't managed to dodge it.

The green-robed monk was shocked by the immense power of Zhou Wei's kick!

He only wanted to catch his fellow disciple, but he was also affected by the force of the kick. When he landed, he lurched forward a few steps before he could catch his breath.

Both of them couldn't help but look at Zhou Wei, thinking to themselves: What level of cultivation does this woman have to be so powerful?

"Are your two junior brothers alright?" the abbot asked.

Both men shook their heads in unison, the yellow-robed monk clutching his chest, his eyes wide with anger.

Zhou Wei said, "Master, you don't need to look at me like that. If you want to teach me a lesson, then I can only fight back. Am I supposed to just let myself be slaughtered?"

The green-robed monk angrily questioned, "Zhou Tanyue, you have gone too far! You clearly agreed to leave two peaches, why are you going back on your word?"

"I've already said it, it was the desire to eat that got the better of me. Just now, I wasn't myself at all; I was just a wild beast craving food," Zhou Wei said casually, picking at her ear.

Knowing that Zhou Wei was talking nonsense, the monks were quite angry.

Only the abbot remained calm. He asked, "Donor Zhou, there is only one peach left. You wouldn't leave even this last one for our temple, would you?"

Zhou Wei laughed, "How could that be! Do you think I'm that bad in your eyes, Master?"

The abbot smiled without saying a word, while Zhou Wei said with dissatisfaction, "Master, your insults are really vulgar!"

The abbot retorted, "When did this humble monk ever curse anyone?"

Zhou Wei glanced at the abbot, then smiled but remained silent.

The abbot's expression stiffened, and he said with some helplessness, "Zhou Tanyue, your swearing is quite vulgar."

each other!

They all use their faces to insult each other, leaving it entirely to the other person to understand.

“Master, please don’t say I’m impolite. Since I’ve received so many benefits, I should naturally leave the last peach for Kongshan Temple.”

Hearing this, the monks were still angry, but considering that at least one peach could be left, they could only swallow their anger and accept it.

Only the abbot frowned slightly, sensing the hidden meaning in Zhou Wei's words.

Seeing Zhou Wei pick the last peach and put it into the cloth bag she carried with her, the monks finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest princess turned to look at the abbot and noticed that although the abbot's expression was calm, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

However, what puzzled the princess was that the disappointment in the abbot's eyes was not regret that only one of the five peaches remained.

Instead, it all fell on Zhou Wei!

Was the abbot disappointed in Vivi? Why was that?

The princess couldn't understand it for a moment, but Zhou Wei's next move shocked everyone.

Zhou Wei, who had picked the peaches, did not leave immediately. She stretched out her right hand and looked at the peach tree on the cliff.

Then, before anyone could react, they pulled the peach tree off the cliff.

Countless roots broke as Zhou Wei moved, and the peach tree withered and turned yellow the moment its roots were completely separated from the cliff.

This scene caused the eyes of several high monks below the cliff to widen in horror.

"Witch! How dare you!"

"stop!"

"How dare you, you monster, harm my peach tree!"

Curses rang out, but Zhou Wei remained unfazed. Leaning against a crevice in the cliff face, she gently released her grip with her right hand.

The withered peach tree then fell into the bottomless abyss.

The princess was shocked, and then looked at the abbot again.

This time, she clearly saw that the disappointment in the abbot's eyes had disappeared.

Instead, there was excitement, admiration, and joy!

Such complex emotions, appearing on the abbot's indifferent expression, left the princess utterly bewildered.

With the peach tree destroyed, Zhou Wei didn't delay any longer and flew down the cliff with the last peach in her arms.

As soon as she landed, she was surrounded by several high-ranking monks, each of whom glared at her angrily.

The eldest princess and Tan Lin immediately took their stances and confronted the group, determined not to let Zhou Wei suffer any losses!

Zhu Qi looked troubled, glancing at his senior brothers and then at Zhou Wei, before finally siding with the Princess.

Upon seeing this, the yellow-robed monk angrily said, "Zhu Qi, what do you mean by this? How dare you help outsiders against Kongshan Temple?"

The blue-robed monk retorted sarcastically, "Senior brother, he just received the opportunity to receive a peach, so naturally he should return the favor."

Zhu Qi's face turned pale and then red after being mocked by his senior brother, but he didn't move an inch.

Only Zhou Wei was defended, saying, "The senior brothers tricked Sister Zhou into picking the peaches first, and now Sister Zhou is bearing the consequences. It is only right that we give her these peaches."

The green-robed monk sneered, "You got a peach for free, so of course you can talk like that without feeling the pain."

The orange-robed monk, who spoke the least, couldn't help but say, "Even if we tricked her, and she took four peaches, that's already compensation. Since she got the benefit, why destroy my peach tree?"

Zhu Qi remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Even he couldn't explain Zhou Wei's actions.

Destroying the peach trees was indeed going too far, but Zhu Qi believed that Zhou Wei had her reasons for doing so.

He looked at Zhou Wei without any hint of blame, and simply asked, "Sister Zhou, is there something wrong with this peach tree?"

Zhou Wei laughed and retorted, "You little monk, I damaged your temple's property, and you're not even angry with me?"

Zhu Qi shook his head: "I know Sister Zhou isn't the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. There must be something wrong with this peach tree, right?"

Hearing Zhu Qi still trying to defend Zhou Wei, the high monks could no longer tolerate it.

The monk in yellow robes angrily said, "Zhu Qi, do you still remember that you are from Kongshan Temple? You are making all sorts of excuses for this demoness. What are your intentions?"

“Abbot, Zhu Qi has led outsiders to damage the peach trees. He should be expelled from Kongshan Temple immediately.”
