Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

After the banquet ended and Xue Yao and her group left, the Demon King felt relieved and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It has been more than half a year since he arrived in the heaven, and he finally got news of Xue Yao. He would not let her go easily.

When he learned that Xue Yao and others were looking for Bai Yichen, he was overjoyed, because Bai Yichen had done a favor to the demon clan, which made him feel as if God was helping him.

He immediately came up with a plan and called his attendants: "Go quickly, no matter what method you use, you must invite Xueyao and her group back. I will personally host a banquet for them."

In this way, the Demon King's plan went smoothly, and Xue Yao and others were invited. In this way, he could not only meet Xue Yao, but also take this opportunity to express his gratitude to Bai Yichen.

The Demon King knew that Xue Yao and her group were extremely concerned about Bai Yichen's whereabouts, and he also intended to use this banquet to communicate between the two sides and lay the foundation for future interactions.

With this good start, everything else will become much easier.

To be honest, although he already had an idea, the Demon King had been feeling uneasy ever since he sent people out to invite Xue Yao and her companions.

He couldn't be sure whether Xue Yao would accept his invitation. After all, some things that happened in the past made him feel extremely guilty.

However, the Demon King firmly believed that as long as Xue Yao was willing to come, he would have the opportunity to clarify everything and eliminate the misunderstandings between them.

He knew very well how much Xueyao valued Bai Yichen, and also understood that Bai Yichen meant a lot to Xueyao. Therefore, he decided to seize this opportunity to show Xueyao the sincerity of the demon race and their respect for Bai Yichen.

Presumably, even if it was just to get more information about Bai Yichen, Xue Yao would come at the invitation.

So, despite being a little nervous, the Demon King still instructed the kitchen to prepare dishes carefully according to Xue Yao's taste.

He knew very well that Xueyao had extremely demanding requirements for food, but he also knew that her taste buds were extremely sensitive to fresh ingredients.

To this end, he personally selected the freshest spiritual vegetables, spiritual meat and seafood of the season to ensure that every dish could meet Xue Yao's high requirements.

In the kitchen, the chefs were busy. Seeing that their king attached so much importance to this banquet, they knew that this was not just a meal, but also a respect for Xue Yao.

The Demon King personally directed the preparation, and everyone went all out to ensure that every dish was delicious, and at the same time, they also added some special ingredients. These ingredients were not only delicious, but also had a certain spiritual power that could help the eaters restore their strength and enhance their cultivation.

The banquet was ready, and the Demon King looked at each dish again, his heart full of anticipation.

Hard work pays off!

Sure enough, Xueyao reacted immediately when she saw these dishes.

This is exactly the effect he wanted. When the Demon King saw this, the ravines in his heart were already filled with flowers.

It was done on purpose, and Xue Yao's reaction convinced the Demon King that his understanding of Xue Yao and his careful preparation of the food were correct.

He knew very well that Xueyao not only had extremely high requirements for food, but also cared very much about the freshness and nutritional value of the ingredients.

The Demon King's good intentions were not only to make Xue Yao feel at home, but also to let Xue Yao feel the sincerity of the demon clan and their respect for Bai Yichen.

Taking this opportunity, he could also enjoy a long-awaited dinner with Xue Yao.

At the banquet, Xueyao and her companions savored delicious dishes, each of which contained the Demon King's intentions.

The Demon King observed Xue Yao's every subtle expression, hoping to find out from her reaction her desire for clues about Bai Yichen's whereabouts.

He knew that Xue Yao's concern for Bai Yichen far exceeded her vigilance against the demon clan.

Then she would definitely find a chance to talk to herself alone.

This was indeed the case. As expected by Yao, Xueyao still proposed to meet with him privately.

Although the time was short, they still had a chance to be alone together. This was a good start for the Demon King.

Everything was going according to his plan, but because of this, he felt a little guilty and felt that he was plotting against Xue Yao.

But he had no choice. He was anxious to see Xue Yao, so he had to resort to this last resort.

Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will see it again.

The demon king knew that he had to show his sincerity in front of Xue Yao to make up for his past mistakes. He knew that only through frank communication could he truly win Xue Yao's trust.

When Xue Yao proposed a private meeting, the Demon King was nervous and expectant. He was ready to confess everything to Xue Yao, including the helplessness and necessity of his identity as the Demon King.

The Demon King chose a quiet inner room as the meeting place. He arrived early and carefully arranged the venue, hoping to leave a good impression on Xue Yao.

When Xue Yao arrived as promised, the Demon King took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and began to tell about his experiences of becoming the Demon King, as well as the loneliness and responsibility that this identity brought him.

However, he did not tell Xueyao about his inner struggle and uncertainty about the future.

He still didn't say why he wore a mask or why he wanted to hide his true identity. Perhaps he felt it wasn't the right time yet.

After Xue Yao left, the Demon King was alone in the inner room of the cave, meditating.

Recalling the past when I met Xue, a complex emotion welled up in my heart.

He smiled, "Xueyao, you can do whatever you want. Now that I have reached heaven, I will protect you forever."

He had already made up his mind and would not reveal his true identity for the time being.

Let’s use my current identity as the Demon King to protect Xue Yao in a different way.

God knows, when he learned that she had ascended to heaven, what surged in his heart was not joy, but endless loss and loneliness.

The vows and dreams we once made seemed to become out of reach with her departure.

He began to doubt whether everything he pursued was really worth such a heavy price.

On countless silent nights, he looked up at the starry sky, searching for her trace, but could only feel the emptiness and confusion in his heart.

After much difficulty, he finally reached the heavenly realm. As the leader of the demon race, he was still bound by the conflicts in the demon world.

Despite this, he vowed to protect her silently in his own way, even if she didn't know.

The Demon King knew that he could not let his emotions become a stumbling block on Xue Yao's path forward. What he had to do was to give her support and strength from behind.

He decided that from now on, no matter what difficulties Xueyao encountered, he would secretly help her and ensure her safety.

The Demon King's heart was filled with determination. He wanted to let Xue Yao fly freely in the heavens, and he would have no regrets even if he had to be the shadow who silently guarded her in the dark.
