I'm a passerby, I'm the daughter of God

Shen Linxi stretched out his hand, and Chi Yue untied the ropes that were tied around Shen Linxi's hands.

He immediately pulled down the cloth stuffed in his mouth, opened the veil and sobbed: "Wuwuwu...Xiaowu, you are finally here. If you were a step later, I, your senior brother, would have been forced to sell myself..."

Chi Yue stood on tiptoe and patted his back, comforting him like a child: "It's okay, aren't you here?"

After Shen Linxi untied the ropes on his feet, he made an emoticon of a gorilla stretching out his hand.

Chi Yue looked at his outstretched hand: "What for?"

"What about packing something delicious?"

Chi Yue spread her hands and said, "No, I lied to you."

Shen Linxi held Chi Yue's shoulders with both hands and shook them: "You are so good, Xiao Wu, you deceived my feelings."

The sudden shaking made Chi Yue unsteady on her feet and she took a step back. Her back bumped into the man with a red veil standing next to Shen Linxi. Chi Yue turned around and saw that man holding her shoulders with one hand and pulling off his veil with the other.

Those smiling eyes and the cinnabar mole at the corner of the eye look even more charming under the red dress.

Jia Jing loosened his hand and accidentally touched her hair. He frowned slightly: "Why is your hair wet?"

"Oh, I just went for a swim."

Then he looked up at the lord sitting at the top and said, "Can we release him now?"

Jia Jing looked down at the girl standing in front of him, her hair still dripping with water. Drops of water fell to the ground, and he sighed. He put the veil in his hand over her hair at her waist, and gently wiped the ends of her hair that were still dripping with water.

Shen Linxi was busy tearing off the talismans behind the people standing in the row, and the sound of untying ropes could be heard one after another. Chi Yue looked at the row of people and couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Su Younian, who was standing not far from Chi Yue, suddenly pulled open his veil and met Chi Yue's eyes. Before Chi Yue could stop smiling, Su Younian's eyes rushed straight at her, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed or angry, his cheeks and ears were slightly red: "What are you looking at..."

Chi Yue teased: "You look good. This is the first time I see a man wearing a veil. I have to take a second look..."

Su Younian's face turned red visibly. Chi Yue retracted her smile. Oh, you are angry. How can you not take a joke anymore?

The Lord looked at Chi Yue: "Come with me."

Chi Yue gave a reassuring look to his fellow brothers and followed the Lord.

After leaving the secret room, I came to the tree.

The Lord looked at the river and asked: "Did you go to Wangjia Village?"

Chi Yue nodded: "Yes."

The Lord looked at her: "How do you feel?"

“It doesn’t feel like they are good people.”

The Lord laughed: "Hahaha, Chi Yue, I like your personality."

Chi Yue nodded: "I like mine too."

The Lord pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "The people of Wangjia Village were originally slaves of our Yanyu Town. The houses they lived in and the land they cultivated were all ours. Our ancestors were kind and allowed them to live there in peace. But as time went by, they thought that everything belonged to them."

The Lord looked at the river and said, "Have you noticed that many of them have cultivation abilities? They all have no spiritual roots because they are slaves, so they can only marry slaves, and the children they give birth to have no spiritual roots. None of them can cultivate, and after living a stable life for too long, they will desire things that do not belong to them."

After a pause, he continued, "Originally, everyone who fell into this secret realm could have some fun and leave the secret realm safely. Later, a man with dark spiritual power came here, broke into this place, and struck the sacred tree with his palm, and it became like this."

Chi Yue asked, "Who is it?"

"I forgot. He said that he was in love with the girl from our Misty Rain Town, but the offspring could not be of his flesh and blood, so he attacked the sacred tree."

"and after?"

The Lord snorted coldly, "What happened next? He was cut into pieces, and the girl he loved committed suicide. But our sacred tree has been withering day by day since then. We really have no other choice. We also want to continue our descendants. What kind of people are those people in Wangjia Village? They are greedy and disgusting. They dare to covet the girl from Yanyu Town. After I rejected them, they rebelled, occupied the farmland, and stopped paying tribute."

"Then you didn't kill a few people to establish your authority?"

"At that time, my whole mind was on the Holy Tree, and I didn't pay much attention to them. I thought they were just some slaves and wouldn't amount to anything, but I underestimated human nature."

The Lord looked at the holy tree in front of him and said, "We tried many methods but to no avail. Finally, we could only focus on you outsiders. We can't leave the secret realm, and we know that the men outside will not stay here voluntarily. So I tempted them to stay for a while with benefits, and sent them out when they conceived children."

The Lord looked at Chi Yue and said, "We in Yanyu Town have never killed anyone. Although we have no choice but to leave you here, you are not a good person. If you can cure our sacred tree, I am willing to bear your wrath."

Chi Yue smiled and said, "I don't know about others, but my senior brothers are very open-minded, especially my second senior brother, who might be secretly delighted by his charm."

Then he added: "I will try my best to see if Wangjia Village has taken action against those who fell into this secret realm."

The Lord nodded and said, "At first they didn't dare to do it because they didn't have spiritual roots. Even if you don't have spiritual power, your bodies are stronger than theirs. They complained that the heavens were unfair, asking why others had spiritual roots but they didn't. Later they caught people who fell into the secret realm, dug up their spiritual roots, and ate them alive. Gradually they also had spiritual roots."

Chi Yue clenched her hands into fists: "What about the woman who fell here?"

The Lord looked at her: "Didn't you see it?"

Chi Yue felt a lump in her heart, as expected...

Chi Yue looked at the sacred tree: "I will try my best, but I have a condition."

"What conditions."

"Give us a helping hand if necessary."

The Lord looked at her: "You want to..." Then he smiled: "Yes."

"Give me the secret medicine, I need spiritual power."

The master did not suspect anything and took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to her.

Chi Yue opened it and smelled it. It smelled like nectar. It poured into her mouth, but it was very little, just two drops. Before she could even savor the flavor, it was gone.

Luck, spiritual power, and a full sea of ​​consciousness. It’s better to have spiritual power.

She took out two drops of life liquid from the storage bracelet, placed them in her palm, and activated the wood spirit roots to push them into the tree trunk. Chi Yue placed her hands on the tree trunk, closed her eyes, and used her spiritual sense to guide the liquid to seep in little by little, moistening the tree's stems and veins.

My spiritual consciousness felt a little painful. The tree was too big, and the stems were thin and numerous. Pushing it in bit by bit consumed a lot of my spiritual consciousness.

After a lot of searching, he finally saw a large green core, which he thought was the key. Chi Yue did not hesitate and guided the liquid into the core.

Instantly, the holy tree emitted a green light, and green buds sprouted from its withered trunk. Slowly extending, the entire tree instantly grew much larger, with lush branches and leaves.

Many white flowers bloomed on the tree trunk, and when the wind blew, some of the white petals fell off.

Chi Yue reached out to take the fallen petals, put them to her nose and smelled them. They tasted somewhat similar to the secret medicine she had just drunk.
