Exiled Huajiao

Chapter 13 Pray to God, May She Be Well

The night in the tree hole came quickly, and the rumbling thunder made the dusk noisy.

Walking around in the tree hole, Bai Xi didn't find anything unusual. She stood in front of the coral-like bushes, expressionless, staring at the tree demon standing under the banyan tree.

The tree demon with eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a treacherous expression, stretched out his hand to caress the banyan tree beside him, moved his mouth towards Bai Xi, but did not make a sound.

Guess, is this my body?

This is the question Bai Xi deciphered through the shape of the dryad's mouth.

There is no evil in Yipo, the tree demon, and it is not something demonized by evil spirits.But he has ulterior motives, and the kindness he reveals is extremely hypocritical. Bai Xi doesn't know what his purpose is, but he only knows that he is not kind!
Bai Xi's eyes became colder and colder, and the expression on the dryad's face became more treacherous and charming. An electric current passed through the air between the two of them, as if sparks had exploded.

"Ma'am, this is for you."

Yuan Jun, who suddenly jumped in front of Bai Xi, stretched out his hands towards Bai Xi.

Bai Xi withdrew her cold gaze, and looked at Yuan Jun's folded hands, she was speechless.

Caterpillars, grotesque seeds, gray and white feathers of unknown birds, the things that Yuan Jun brought to her with both hands, seemed to no longer be able to stir up waves in her heart.

This time, what will it be?
Yuan Jun spread out his hands as if offering a treasure, and on the snow-white palm with clear palm lines lay an unusually brightly colored mushroom, which could poison nine hundred cows at a glance.

The horrified Bai Xi slapped the poisonous mushroom off Yuan Jun's palm, and the startled Yuan Jun's eyes turned red, with teardrops rolling in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, did Huan'er do something wrong to make you angry?"

Just as Bai Xi was about to speak, Yuan Jun's stomach growled. She laughed, and reached out to touch his head, but her hand froze in the air.

What is she doing? Could it be that she really regards herself as his mother and kissed her?
Yuan Jun, who didn't know what Bai Xi was thinking, put his head under Bai Xi's hand like a kitten and rubbed it.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes were bright, showing two small canine teeth, and his smile was sweet and extremely cute.

With a faint sigh in his heart, Bai Xi withdrew his hand: "Mushrooms are poisonous, you can't eat them."

Yuan Jun blinked: "It's pretty."

"It's only good-looking to be poisonous."

"The empress is also pretty."

Yuan Jun's tone was sincere: "Your Majesty looks the best when she smiles."

is she smiling

Ever since the death of the old valley owner, she who didn't like to laugh, even less so!

This young demon hunter really has a strange magical power!

He took out a fruit from his sleeve, Bai Xi wiped it off with his clothes, and handed it to Yuan Jun: "Eat this."

Yuan Jun took the fruit and took several mouthfuls of "Kach, Kach", his cheeks were stuffed like a little hamster.

"Young lady eats too."

Yuan Jun handed the remaining half of the fruit to Bai Xi's mouth. Bai Xi smiled at the tooth marks on it, subconsciously reached out to wipe off the pomace at the corner of Yuan Jun's mouth, but withdrew her hand abruptly.

Staring at the young demon hunter in front of him, Bai Xi felt that he was like a grass, green and soft, unable to withstand the wind and rain, but it could turn the desert into an oasis, with a strong appeal.

Seemingly harmless, but dangerous!
It's a good thing to be friends with such a person: if you are an enemy, you'd better stay far away!

Unaware of the sudden alienation in Bai Xi's eyes, Yuan Jun, who was full, curled up beside Bai Xi like a kitten, with a peaceful smile on his face, and closed his eyes with peace of mind, without a trace of defense.

The night is low, the moon is like a bean, and the fireflies are as bright as the day.

In front of the fluffy grass, Yuan Jun curled up at Bai Xi's feet, sleeping soundly.

Sitting on the grass, Bai Xi took off the small flowers on her sideburns, pinched them in her hands and played with them.

She looked up, the palm-sized sky was hazy, there was no sun, moon and stars, only darkness and boundless darkness.

Suddenly, a gust of cold air hit her, and a pair of icy hands grabbed her ankles violently.
-
"Boom."

The silver dragon-like thunder and lightning exploded on Duanhun Cliff, as if there were heinous monsters hiding here, and the heavens sent down thunder disasters to punish them.

The rain poured down, and it was suspected that the fairies bathing in the heaven overturned the bath water.

Liu Sanlang stood in front of the cliff, his brows were furrowed and he was worried.

Bai Xi's demonic aura remaining on the edge of the cliff was washed away by the pouring rain, and he silently clenched his fists.

Ganoderma lucidum stepped forward, holding a large white umbrella made of condensed mycelia, and stopped beside Liu Sanlang to shield him from the wind and rain.

She tilted her head and looked at his side face, seeing that he was full of worry, and there was also a sadness of hating her own incompetence.

She heard that Bai Xi, the owner of Yunxia Valley, is an iceberg beauty, known as the strongest flower demon.

If he stood with Liu Sanlang, who was as gentle and elegant as jade in front of him, he should be a very eye-catching match.

On the cliff, he looked down the cliff, and she looked at him.

"Master, she will be fine."

She comforted softly, and he sighed softly.

"She alone has taken on too much."

The first time he met Bai Xi was in the autumn of the year before last.

In the ginkgo grove that seemed to be sprinkled with gold all over the ground, he was covered in wounds, protecting a few little demons who had been rescued from the demon hunter. He was about to be overtaken by the demon hunter when the sound of fighting suddenly sounded behind him.

Not long after, a figure approached, blocking the way of Liu Sanlang and others.

Now Liu Sanlang can't remember what Bai Xi looked like at that time, he only remembers her bright smile and he looked at her warily.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can follow me to Yunxia Valley."

Her voice is as soft as a summer night breeze, warm, soothing and trustworthy.

Bai Xi is smart and courageous, strong and responsible, and tries her best to guard Yunxia Valley.

The only time he saw her showing her vulnerable side was on the first Mid-Autumn Festival night when he entered the valley.

She drank alone against the moon, and the sadness in her eyes touched his heart.

She said that she was afraid that she would fail the old valley owner's entrustment, that she would not be able to protect Yunxia Valley well, and that she would not be able to protect all the monsters in the valley well.

She also said: "How innocent the plant and flower demon is, and has never committed any crimes, it should not suffer the fate of being killed for no reason!
She wants to spend her whole life sticking to Yunxia Valley, so as to have a living place for the grass, tree, flower demon clan in this unfair and chaotic world.

She still wants to find the way to bloom flowers, so that the flower demon clan can become stronger and have the power to protect themselves, so that they are no longer a worthless piece of grass fluttering in the wind in the chaotic world, allowing others to bully and harm them.

What she wants and wishes is also what he wants!
It's just that she has a great responsibility and never thinks about herself.And he is more selfish than her, not only wants to protect the plant and flower demon clan, but also wants to protect her.

But it seemed that every time she was in danger, he was not by her side.

Thunder roared endlessly, Liu Sanlang felt more uneasy, and clenched his fists even tighter.

Ever since the Empress became obsessed with immortality and hunted down the family of plant and flower demons for medicine and alchemy, he no longer believed in the existence of gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Now, he prayed devoutly and begged the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless Bai Xi well!
