Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Lotus Pond Inn.

Night enveloped the entire land. Under the hazy moonlight, several dark figures were stealthy and silently approaching the stable. Their figures were nimble and their movements were light, as if they had merged into the darkness.

The mounts of Xue Yao and her group were tied in the stable. These horses were tall and mighty, with hair as smooth as silk, and their eyes revealed a sense of nobility and majesty.

Their presence was too conspicuous, attracting the attention of these shadowy figures. When they saw them on the road during the day, they had already become greedy.

One of them lowered his voice, quieter than a mosquito's hum, as if afraid others would hear, and whispered to the man beside him, "Brother, look at these foals. They have such handsome figures and sleek fur. They all look extraordinary. If we could get one of them, we brothers would be...rich."

As he said this, he winked at the big brother.

The other man saw it and immediately agreed, saying, "That's right, big brother. Even if we don't exchange it for silver, it's still pretty impressive to just keep it and ride it."

As he said this, an image of himself riding a tall horse appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously straightened his back.

However, before he could finish his words, he felt a flash before his eyes, and then he was slapped hard on the head.

"You're the only one who knows how to be powerful? How dare you ride such a good horse?" The first person who spoke scolded bluntly.

Then, as if he suddenly realized that he had just lost his composure, he immediately put on a flattering smile and turned to the man called "Big Brother" and said flatteringly: "Only someone as wise and powerful as Big Brother, who is feared by all, is worthy of such a peerless horse."

In this world, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there will be flattery.

Some people are very susceptible to this. Even though they know that the other party is flattering them, they still can't help but feel elated due to their pitiful vanity.

You know what, that big brother really benefited from the flattery.

Look, he feels so comfortable being photographed that the corners of his mouth are almost reaching his ears.

He nodded with satisfaction, coughed twice in a pretentious manner, then lowered his voice and said softly, "Let's get these horses first."

As soon as the words fell, several people smiled at each other, with an expression of determination on their faces, as if the horses were already in their pockets.

The man in black at the head was the eldest brother. There was a greedy glint in his eyes, as if he saw endless wealth beckoning to him.

He lowered his voice, a hint of excitement and nervousness in his tone: "Indeed, these horses are all top-notch BMWs, each one is worth a fortune. We must proceed with caution and make sure we get them. Then, not only will we make a fortune, but we will also become famous in the martial arts world."

The others echoed, "Yes, Big Brother is right! This is a great opportunity to make a fortune!"

The eldest brother nodded in satisfaction and began to make arrangements: "I'll distract the guards later. You can take this opportunity to sneak into the stable and lead the horses out. Remember, you have to move quickly and don't get discovered!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Got it, big brother!"

At that moment, their hearts were filled with endless anticipation and excitement, as if they had already witnessed the magnificent sight of themselves driving a BMW across the vast grassland. But unfortunately, these people did not realize the possible consequences of this risky action...

At this moment, the night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were silent and serene. The group of people were immersed in the waterside pavilion, enjoying themselves to the fullest, unaware of anything unusual happening here.

On moonlit nights with a gentle breeze, it’s also the time to steal horses.

For them, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They secretly rejoiced, thinking that their plan was perfect and foolproof.

However, as they tiptoed closer to the stable, a bone-chilling chill suddenly struck them. Looking up, they saw Xue Yao and the others, who had stood silently before them like ghosts. Their expressions were so cold they made their teeth chatter.

"What do you want to do?" Xue Yao's cold voice blew past their ears like a cold wind, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

The shadows exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with panic. They had never imagined that Xueyao and the others were so alert that they could detect their tracks so quickly without them noticing.

"We...we're just passing by..." one of the shadows stammered.

Xue Yao sneered, her eyes cold and sharp, as if she could see through the darkness and see into the other person's mind. Her tone was filled with disdain and contempt: "Just passing by? I see that you clearly have ulterior motives and are trying to steal these horses."

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the shadows' hearts. Their faces instantly turned extremely ugly, and they couldn't hide the embarrassment and fear mixed together.

However, even though their intentions were discovered, the shadows did not give up their resistance easily. They exchanged glances with each other, as if discussing countermeasures.

Xue Yao didn't care what they thought. Before she finished speaking, the long sword in her hand was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword, flashing with cold light, pointed straight at the group of black shadows.

Faced with such a fierce momentum, the black shadows couldn't help but feel fear, but they still drew their weapons and tried to resist.

However, how could they be a match for Xue Yao and the others? After a few rounds, they were subdued one by one.

"Tell me, who are you? Who sent you? What is your purpose?" Xue Yao pressed.

The black shadows were pale and hesitated to speak.

A hint of coldness flashed in Xue Yao's eyes, and the sword in her hand moved slightly. A black shadow screamed and fell to the ground.

"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin." Xue Yao's tone was extremely cold.

The other shadows looked at the cold and beautiful woman in front of them, and they couldn't help but tremble with fear. They begged for mercy: "Lady, spare us, we will tell you everything."

After some questioning, Xueyao finally found out the truth of the matter.

It turned out that these dark shadows were spies sent by nearby bandits, who intended to find out the true situation of Xue Yao and the others, and then take advantage of their opportunity to rob them.

Xue Yao and the others sneered after hearing this, "Bandits? Gang? How dare you!"

Xueyao decided to meet those lawless guys.

"What should we do with these people?" Xue Yu asked softly.

"Tie them up. Xiao Lin'er will cooperate with you to send them to the government." Xue Yao was too lazy to care about these thieves. She decided to let the government deal with them.

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Everyone else, follow me."

Bai Yichen raised the corners of his lips slightly and followed naturally.
