Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

So she decided to take a risk and use her own mind to fight against the power of the "Orchid Heart" to protect it from being used by the man in black.

However, she underestimated the power of the "Orchid Heart" and overestimated her own abilities. Under the blue light, her inner world was completely exposed, and the secrets, fears, and desires buried deep in her heart surged like a tide, making her almost unable to bear it.

Ultimately, she triggered the self-protection mechanism of the "Orchid Heart," causing the gem to lose its luster, and she suffered severe backlash.

After listening to Zi Ling's story, Xue Yao was filled with shock and admiration. She had never expected that this seemingly weak female fairy could have such firm faith and courage.

She gently held Zi Ling's hand and said tenderly, "Thank you, Zi Ling. You not only protected the Heart of the Orchid, but also protected all of us. We have witnessed your bravery and sacrifice and will always remember them in our hearts."

Zi Ling smiled slightly, tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you, Xueyao. It makes me feel warm to have friends like you around."

The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings and estrangements disappeared at this moment.

When holding Zi Ling's hand, Xue Yao calmly placed her fingers on her pulse and released an ice-blue mist to help her smooth the meridians throughout her body. Only after confirming that she was fine did she finally feel relieved.

"Xueyao, I'm honored to meet you." Zi Ling didn't realize what Xueyao had done to her. She simply had a good impression of Xueyao, so she said it sincerely.

"Nice to meet you, Zi Ling." Xue Yao also thought this little fairy was pretty, and she genuinely liked her. It wasn't because Zi Ling's feelings had been exposed under the influence of the "Orchid Heart," but because she was naturally straightforward, and Xue Yao liked people who were so frank.

Zi Ling smiled slightly, a hint of gratitude flickering in her eyes. She could sense Xue Yao's sincerity, and this feeling rippled through her heart like the warm sunshine on a spring day, warm and comfortable.

"Xueyao, can I come to visit you when I'm free in the future?" Zi Ling asked softly, with a barely perceptible hint of eagerness in her voice, as if she was suppressing some emotion.

"What do you mean by visiting? You're welcome to come visit us when you're free. You know where we live." Xue Yao shook her head slightly and replied with a smile, "It's a rare opportunity for me to meet a friend as sincere as you when I first arrived in the heavenly realm."

Zi Ling was the fairy who went to invite Xue Yao to attend the Flower Banquet three days ago.

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly harmonious, as if an invisible bond had bound them together. Zi Ling felt an inexplicable surge of courage, and she decided to confess her secret to Xue Yao.

"Xueyao, I have something to tell you." Zi Ling's voice was low and firm, and her eyes gleamed with a determined light. She didn't know why, but the person in front of her made her feel very trustworthy.

Xue Yao was slightly stunned, then nodded and encouraged: "Zi Ling, no matter what you want to say, I will listen attentively. Just say it."

Zi Ling took a deep breath and began to tell her story. It turned out that she was a fairy from heaven, but three months ago, she was stranded on earth due to an accident.

A day in heaven is a year on earth. After tossing and turning in the human world for more than seventy years, he returned to heaven again. By chance, he became a flower fairy in the Hundred Flowers Palace.

She had been in Baihua Palace for only twenty days, according to celestial time. This place was also unfamiliar to her.

The heaven is a world full of fighting and conspiracy. Zi Ling still feels a little uncomfortable after coming back.

She discovered that although she had once been a member of the heavenly realm, her long time of wandering in the mortal world had made her unfamiliar with the rules and power distribution of the heavenly realm.

She felt like an outsider and found it difficult to fit into this once familiar world.

Zi Ling continued, "Xueyao, do you know? In the seventy years I've been in the human world, I've experienced many things and witnessed the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of the human world. Those experiences have taught me that true strength lies not in the level of magical power, but in the determination and kindness of one's heart."

Xueyao listened to Zi Ling's story with a surge of respect. She knew that Zi Ling's life on earth must have been full of hardships and challenges, but she still maintained a kind heart, which made her admire her even more.

Xueyao listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy and understanding.

Besides, their situations were so similar. Only those who had experienced it together could truly understand such a situation.

When Zi Ling finished, Xue Yao gently held her hand and said softly, "Zi Ling, no matter what your past is, you are my friend. If you are willing, I will accompany you to face everything in the future."

Tears welled up in Zi Ling's eyes. She had never imagined she would encounter such sincere friendship in this strange world. She hugged Xue Yao tightly, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth.

Xue Yao smiled slightly and nodded, her admiration for Zi Ling growing even stronger. She knew that while Zi Ling appeared delicate, she possessed an indomitable spirit within. A friend like her was worthy of her sincere affection.

"Of course, Zi Ling. You can come to me anytime, and we can discuss the way of cultivation together." Xue Yao said sincerely.

A hint of joy flashed in Zi Ling's eyes. She knew that Xue Yao's cultivation was very high, and getting her guidance would undoubtedly be of great help to her.

"That's great, Xueyao. I will definitely make good use of this opportunity." Zi Ling said seriously.

The two chatted for a while longer, then Xueyao stood up to take her leave. She knew that although the atmosphere in the banquet hall had returned to calm, unknown dangers might still lurk in the celestial realm. She needed to remain vigilant to prevent any unexpected events.

Leaving Zi Ling's residence, Xue Yao slowly walked along the palace path. The moonlight, like silver, cast a mysterious glow over her. Her heart was filled with anticipation for the future, yet also with a hint of apprehension.

She knew that the conflict in the heavens was far from over, and her friendship with Zi Ling might become the strength for them to face future challenges together.

Xue Yao took a deep breath, looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and secretly swore in her heart that no matter what the future holds, she will protect this heaven and everything she cherishes.

From that day on, the two became close friends. They shared joys and sorrows, and faced life's challenges together. Zi Ling's heart gradually filled with hope. She knew that no matter what the future held, she would not be alone, because she had Xue Yao, someone she could trust.

That night, Xueyao also invited Ziling to visit Qingfeng Garden two days later, and Ziling readily agreed.
