Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

On this day, the sunlight was blocked by thick clouds, and the entire sky looked a little gloomy.

On the Peach Blossom Mountain in the secret garden, snowflakes fluttered down, adding a dreamlike atmosphere to this quiet place.

Xue Yao, dressed in a long white dress, looked as beautiful as a fairy in the snow. She sat cross-legged under a peach tree, her eyes closed, completely immersed in a state of cultivation.

The air around her seemed to become heavy because of her concentration.

At this moment, a slight ripple suddenly appeared in the originally calm air. Xue Yao's heart moved, and she immediately woke up from her cultivation.

She suddenly opened her eyes and her gaze swept around like lightning.

A black shadow flashed by like a ghost and appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.

After seeing who was coming, Xueyao couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.

The man standing in front of him was tall and straight, emitting a powerful aura.

However, the most eye-catching thing was the golden mask on his face, which shone brightly against the backdrop of the white snow.

Xue Yao stood up vigilantly, secretly gathering spiritual power in her right hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Her voice was as cold as snow as she demanded, "Who are you? Why are you trespassing into the Secret Garden?"

The man wearing the golden mask seemed to be deaf to her question and just stood there quietly.

He exudes a mysterious aura that makes him hard to grasp.

Especially his eyes, which looked straight at Xue Yao through the holes in the mask. They were deep and sharp, as if they could see through all the secrets, which made Xue Yao feel uneasy.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them remained in a stalemate, neither of them making the first move.

Finally, after a long while, the man slowly spoke, "Don't be alarmed, Fairy. I have no ill intentions. I simply wish to borrow your precious place to recuperate for a few days. I hope you will grant me this favor."

"Borrow? Really?" Xue Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile.

Her cold and beautiful eyes stared at the person in front of her, with a hint of sarcasm and questioning in her eyes.

After all, this person actually broke into the secret garden so brazenly and even dared to say something about borrowing.

Moreover, this was not the first time he had trespassed here without permission.

Recalling the last time he came, Xue Yao couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. At that time, he came for the extremely precious Tianxuan Sword.

But who could have imagined that the Tianxuan Sword seemed to have some kind of mysterious connection with him, and actually betrayed its master and followed him.

Xueyao always kept this account in mind and never asked for it.

However, at this moment, this person appeared here again. Why was he doing this?

The visitor only smiled slightly in response to Xueyao's questioning, and remained silent. This silence only made Xueyao even more angry.

What Xue didn't know was that these expressions of Xue Yao were all very good in that man's eyes.

He sighed in his heart over and over again: "Xueyao, it's so good!"

"Hmph, the last time you came, my Tianxuan Sword betrayed its master. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and now you're asking me to borrow my land again? Do you really think my secret garden is a place where anyone can come and go as they please and take whatever they want?"

Xue Yao folded her arms across her chest, her body trembling slightly, clearly furious. Her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice, shooting straight at the newcomer.

Seeing this, the man bowed slightly to express his apology.

He said softly, "Fairy, you have misunderstood. The last time I took the sword, it was because of the situation that forced me to do so. This time, I came here because I was seriously injured and urgently needed a quiet place to recuperate. I have no other intention. Please understand."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yao looked up and down at the man in front of her.

She keenly noticed that although there was still a faint fluctuation of spiritual power in this person, the aura was obviously unstable and carried a sense of weakness that was difficult to conceal.

It seems that what he said was true, and he must have been seriously injured.

However, Xueyao did not believe the other party easily.

She snorted coldly and said, "If you don't explain clearly what kind of injury you have suffered, let alone borrowing the land, even if we fight to the death today, you will never leave my secret garden alive."

Even if you can win, you cannot lose in momentum.

Xue Yao didn't notice that the man's eyes were full of doting.

Before she finished speaking, she waved her jade hand, and an ice-blue sword emitting a biting chill instantly appeared in her hand.

In an instant, the air around seemed to condense into frost, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a war would break out at the slightest disagreement.

The man had a bitter and helpless look on his face. He sighed deeply and said, "Alas! I am so unlucky! I was attacked by those insidious and cunning dark demons while on my way and was accidentally hit by their extremely vicious soul-eroding curse.

This curse is incredibly vicious and will continually erode my soul and spiritual power. Fortunately, I discovered this place is particularly rich in spiritual energy. Perhaps only here, with this abundant spiritual energy, can I barely suppress this terrible injury and prevent it from worsening.

Hearing the man's words, Xue Yao couldn't help but feel shocked.

You know, the dark demon is an extremely ferocious and powerful creature. If ordinary people are attacked by them, they will most likely lose their lives. But the man in front of him was able to escape from the dark demon. It was really not easy.

Thinking of this, Xue Yao's originally tense expression relaxed a little, and she said softly: "Forget it, forget it. Seeing how pitiful you look, I believe you must have suffered a lot. This fairy will allow you to stay here and recuperate for a few days."

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes immediately revealed an expression of gratitude that was difficult to conceal. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Fairy, for your great kindness. If you hadn't shown me mercy and taken me in, I'm afraid I would have lost my life to that Soul-Erosion Curse long ago. When I recover from my injuries, I will definitely find a way to repay you for your kindness today."

Time passed quickly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, thanks to the rich spiritual nourishment of this place and the healing pills that Xue Yao occasionally sent, the man's injuries finally showed obvious signs of improvement.

Seeing that he was about to leave this temporary shelter, the man took out a crystal clear heart-shaped jade pendant that emitted a faint glow before leaving, and carefully handed it to Xue Yao.

When Xue Yao reached out to take the jade pendant, she suddenly felt a faint familiar breath coming from the jade pendant.

However, before she could carefully consider where this sense of familiarity came from, the man had already turned around and started to leave, leaving Xue Yao with only his back that was gradually moving away.

When Xue Yao came to her senses, she suddenly realized that this breath was exactly Bai Yichen's breath.

Bai Yichen, since he disappeared, they have searched many places but haven't found any clues.

"Oh no," Xue Yao slapped her thigh suddenly, "Those eyes... could this person be Bai Yichen?"
