Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: "Love-Struck" Scarlett Jennings

"Not at all?"

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but confirm again. Her tone hinted at some regret and surprise, though she didn’t voice it, everyone present could understand the subtext—

This shouldn’t be.

Being questioned by Scarlett Jennings, Lionel Strickland, the tall and burly man, slightly lowered his head, showing a bit of guilt,

"I’m sorry, ma’am, I don’t have the Sage Tree branch."

It was rare for the ma’am to take the initiative to ask him for something.

If he did have it, perhaps from now on, the ma’am would also be willing to keep him by her side...

Even though he didn’t lack people to keep him company now, he had always been quite envious of Dashiell being able to constantly stay by both of the ma’ams’ sides.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t expect him to apologize so earnestly over such a matter and quickly comforted him,

"It’s okay if you don’t have it, we just asked on the off-chance, and if you don’t have the Sage Tree branch, we can look for it elsewhere."

As soon as her words fell, from the neighboring yard, Hannah Hearne’s head suddenly popped up over the wall, looking towards Scarlett Jennings and the others in the courtyard.

"I know where the Sage Tree branch can be found!"

Scarlett Jennings was taken aback, instinctively asking, "What are you doing here?"

Hannah Hearne first smiled, and then, in the next moment, the smile on her lips gradually faded, showing a tinge of sorrow,

"I know, I’m not supposed to come to you...

Now you’re a Nine-tailed, and I’m merely a Six-tailed, the gap between us is vast, and I’m no longer qualified to play with you anymore..."

Scarlett Jennings listened to her words without expression for a while, then simply interrupted,

"Just get to the point about the Sage Tree branch."

With no one to engage her, Hannah Hearne couldn’t carry on by herself, so she flipped over the wall into the courtyard, glanced at the child wrapped in a cocoon under the tree, curiously, and then directly said,

"You’ve seen the Soul Tree in the Hearne Gardens. It is said that the Soul Tree was nurtured by a wisp of Spiritual Energy from a Sage Tree branch."

Although it’s not directly the Sage Tree branch, it does carry the power of the Sage Tree to some extent.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have become the Soul Tree that the Hearne Clan has passed down for thousands of years.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t know that the Sage Tree branch was so close by, so without delay, she took Samuel Chalmers back to the Hearne Gardens.

Now, the doors of the Hearne Gardens would never casually bar her entry again.

Ever since she spent two years advancing from a Six-tailed to a Nine-tailed, though just at the initial stage of cultivating into a Ten-tailed, those two years for her Three-tailed transformation had already fiercely slapped the faces of the elders who troubled her and dismissed her three-year promise back then.

Today, in the Hearne Gardens, not only do they not block her, but the demons of the Hearne Lineage greet her with respect wherever they see her.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers first went to see the Soul Tree.

Two years had passed, and Luke Hearne was still locked beneath the Soul Tree. Compared to two years ago, he appeared more haggard and numb, with his surrounding demon power weakened to nearly nothing.

Upon seeing Scarlett Jennings, Luke Hearne’s eyelids moved slightly.

The Soul Tree sensed Scarlett Jennings’s power the moment she appeared. Connected as his soul power was to the Soul Tree, Luke Hearne naturally sensed it too.

If two years ago he harbored more resentment and envy towards Scarlett Jennings, sensing her condensed Nine-tailed demon power now, Luke Hearne could only press his lips, lower his head, and turn away, not daring to meet her gaze.

Scarlett Jennings hadn’t intended to mock him two years ago, and now, even less so.

Over the past two years, Luke Hearne had once been used by the Ghost Fog to taint the demon life in the Academy of Mystique with filthy Demon Energy.

Now, all that filth, along with the Boundary Breaking Barriers built in neighboring countries, had been firmly locked within the waters of the Flower Nation’s homeland.

Half of the Flower Nation has now suffered the backlash of nuclear waste, with more and more of its people fleeing the country, and even the country’s onmyoji unable to do anything about it.

Recently, the government of the Flower Nation even publicly knelt down to repent and plead for international aid, but no country has responded so far, and the boundaries separating the Flower Nation’s waters remain.

If this continues, the Flower Nation could truly become the next Crippled Heaven Kingdom in less than ten years.

Luke Hearne’s past mistakes are just like the current situation in the Flower Nation, enduring the punishment they deserve.

Scarlett Jennings no longer pays attention to it.
