Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Although Xueyao was puzzled, she knew now was not the time to question it. She took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing her doubts and turning her attention to the post-war affairs at hand.

"Demon King, there must be a conspiracy behind the control of these monsters. We must find out the mastermind as soon as possible, otherwise more innocent lives will be harmed." Although Xue Yao's voice was weak, it revealed her firm determination.

The demon king nodded, his eyes deep and serious.

"You are right, Fairy Xueyao. I will send my monster to investigate this matter. At the same time, I will personally take action to get to the bottom of this." His voice revealed unquestionable authority.

No matter who is behind this, he will definitely find them out and let them know that Xue Yao is not someone they can mess with.

A cold light flashed in the demon king's eyes. He knew very well that this battle was just the beginning and the real enemy was still hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity.

He turned to Xue Yao and said, "Rest assured and recover your strength as soon as possible. I will take care of the rest."

As he said this, he also gave Xue Yao some high-quality pills.

Xue Yao looked at the Demon King, and an inexplicable sense of trust surged in her heart, "Okay."

The demon king pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, my demon beasts can track those abnormal auras and will definitely find the mastermind behind this."

Xueyao nodded and replied softly, "Okay, thank you!"

The Demon King looked at Xue Yao, a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "You're welcome, Fairy Xue Yao. Just do whatever you want. I'll take care of everything." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was promising Xue Yao something.

Xue Yao felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew that no matter what was behind this crisis, with the Demon King by her side, she was not fighting alone. She smiled slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Demon King."

The demon king smiled slightly, his eyes full of pampering, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Xue Yao nodded. Although she had thousands of questions in her heart, she understood that the Demon King's decision was correct.

She found a clean stone to sit on, preparing to regulate her breathing and recover.

At this time, the Demon King summoned the monsters he brought with him and issued a series of orders. His voice was full of unquestionable majesty.

The first one was to let the monsters convey that from now on, seeing Xue Yao would be the same as seeing her.

Not only are no monsters allowed to offend Xue Yao, but they must also respect Xue Yao and protect her as much as they respect him.

Afterwards, the monsters split up, some began to clean up the battlefield, and the other part followed the instructions of the Monster King and disappeared silently into the night to track down possible clues.

The Demon King himself walked to Xue Yao and quietly guarded her until she recovered enough strength.

As the night deepened, the valley gradually returned to calm. Xueyao stood up, feeling that most of her strength had been restored.

She looked at the Demon King, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, Demon King. If you hadn't arrived in time, I might have..."

When she mentioned this, she secretly decided in her heart that she would have to work harder and continuously improve her cultivation.

Even if she can't become one of the best masters in the heaven, she can't be too far behind.

The Demon King interrupted her, his voice gentle but firm, "Fairy Xueyao, there's no need to say anything. Protecting you is my responsibility, and it's what I'm willing to do."

His eyes revealed a deep emotion that moved Xueyao's heart.

The two men stood side by side in the valley, gazing at the starry sky, both knowing in their hearts that although the battle was over, the challenges they faced had just begun.

"Fairy Xueyao, please be more vigilant from now on." The Demon King's voice was filled with a subtle worry. "This enemy is clearly not a simple one. They may have even more powerful methods that they haven't yet used."

Xueyao nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, "Yes, I will."

Be more vigilant?

Something flashed through her mind and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Why should I be more vigilant? Can't they be more vigilant?

Xueyao, you have to work harder and become stronger to terrify them.

Seeing Xueyao's expression constantly changing, the Demon King smiled slightly, "Fairy Xueyao, whenever you need me, I will always be by your side."

"Ah? This..." Xue Yao didn't expect the Demon King to say this, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She is not actually a wooden person. Xue Yao can sense something from the Demon King’s coming to rescue her today and his words and actions, but what else can she do except pretend to be confused?

Xue Yao felt a complex emotion in her heart. She knew what the Demon King's promise meant, but she also understood that relying on others was not a long-term solution.

She must become stronger herself to truly protect herself and not become a burden to others.

"Demon King, I will always remember your help, but I can't rely on you forever." Xue Yao's voice was firm, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination. "I will work hard to improve myself."

She added in her heart, I believe that one day, I will be able to fight alongside you and face all challenges together.

After hearing this, the Demon King's eyes flashed with approval. He knew Xue Yao's determination and understood her pride. He nodded, expressing his support for her decision.

"Fairy Xueyao, I believe in you." The demon king's voice was full of trust and support.

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Yao with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated, as if he had something else to say.

Xue Yao's heart moved. She could feel the Demon King's concern, but she also knew that there were some things she needed to face and solve on her own.

"Demon King, do you have anything else to say?" Xue Yao asked softly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

The Demon King was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Fairy Xueyao, I just hope you remember that no matter when or where, I will always be your strongest support. Your safety is more important to me than anything else."

Xue Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, "Demon King, some things cannot be forced, so let nature take its course."

The demon king looked at Xueyao, a moment of loss flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to normal. He knew that Xueyao was a strong and independent woman who did not need the pity of others.

"Fairy Xueyao, I, I don't have any other intentions, I just feel that I have a good relationship with you, I..." The demon king's voice was filled with caution.

"Yeah, I understand." Xue Yao responded frankly.

But she was thinking in her heart that the Demon King had no ill will towards her, and she couldn't hurt his reputation too much.

The Demon King took a deep breath, as if searching for the right words to express his feelings. "Fairy Xueyao, I..." He paused, then continued, "I just want you to know that no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will do my best to help you. You don't have to face everything alone."

There was a firmness and tenderness in his voice, which made Xueyao feel warm in her heart.

Xue Yao smiled slightly. Although she was grateful, she also felt a little helpless.

To be honest, what she needs is growth, not dependence.

The Demon King said nothing more, only smiling. He certainly understood Xue Yao's position and respected her decision. But all this would not affect his staying by her side, protecting her safety.

What Xue Yao didn't know was that the Demon King had already sent a message to Chi Han, asking him to specially arrange four masters to secretly protect her at all times from now on.
