Its slightly trembling branches seemed to express its dissatisfaction.
Jiang Che's directness left it feeling a bit unsettled.
After all, it had carefully guarded this secret for so long, and now being exposed so plainly gave it a sense of insecurity.

His eyes were full of openness, because to him, since no one else was around, there was no need for concealment.
The Dark Mother Plant remained silent; these were the words, but the secret it had guarded for so long being blurted out like this felt strange.
Perhaps because the Dark Forest constantly eavesdropped on secrets through nearby trees, it now always felt some unease.
As the Dark Forest, it understood the concept of "walls have ears," something Jiang Che as a human seemed not to know!
The Dark Mother Plant murmured to itself.
