Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Sigh... With a light sigh, Xue Yao stomped her feet hard, as if to vent all the regret and anger in her heart.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction where the shadow disappeared. Her gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet and could not be moved away for a long time. Her whole body seemed to be petrified, standing there motionless.

At this moment, she was filled with regret. She kept blaming herself for being so stupid and failing at the crucial moment.

If I had reacted earlier, maybe I could have used my keen observation skills to identify the true identity of the mysterious black shadow.

Even if I couldn't be completely sure, I could at least ask tentatively. But now, it was too late.

"Who is he?" Xue Yao couldn't help but mutter to herself, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of doubt and confusion.

This person who could enter and leave the secret garden freely lingered in her heart like a mystery that she could not get rid of.

In fact, when Xue Yao suddenly felt a familiar breath, her first reaction was to immediately follow in that direction.

However, just as she was about to take action, reason was poured on her head like a bucket of cold water.

She realized that even if she tried to chase him now, it would be futile. The man had already disappeared without a trace, so how could she possibly catch up?

Thinking of this, Xue Yao shook her head helplessly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said to herself: "The person has already left, why are you still chasing him?"

Well, since things have come to this, let's just let it be.

If that mysterious shadow has the chance to appear again next time, I must ask him clearly at that time.

But if he never shows up again, it can only mean that it is the fate between them and cannot be forced.

However, I have never led Bai Yichen into the secret garden. Could it really be him?

no, I can not.

If it really was him, from the human world to the heaven, I and my companions had entered and exited the secret garden countless times, but I had never seen him enter.

But if it wasn't him, then who else could it be?

What made Xue Yao even more confused was that if it wasn't him, how could the heart-shaped jade pendant emit the unique aura of Bai Yichen?

This question shrouded Xueyao's mind like a fog.

After thinking about it, Xueyao still didn't understand and couldn't come to a clear conclusion.

Elsewhere, after the man wearing the golden mask left the secret garden, he flashed and instantly returned to the vast and boundless sky shrouded in clouds and mist.

The man slowly took off the golden mask that shone with a strange light. As the mask was slowly removed, a face as cold as an iceberg yet handsome and imposing was revealed.

He stood quietly on the snow-white clouds, overlooking the vast land and mountains and rivers below, with indescribable complex emotions flashing in his deep eyes.

He knew very well that Xue Yao, who was in the secret garden at the moment, would be full of doubts about his sudden departure, but he knew that the time was not yet ripe and he could not easily reveal his true identity and purpose.

He turned around and walked forward, came to an exquisite table placed among the clouds, and sat down gracefully.

He raised his right hand slightly, took out the peerless sword named "Tianxuan" from his waist, and placed it carefully on the table.

Then, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked the connection between the hilt and the scabbard, as if feeling the endless power and some secret contained in the sword.

Ever since he got the Tianxuan Sword, gently stroking the scabbard has become a daily habit for him.

And it was on the day when he got this magical sword that he set foot into Xue Yao's mysterious and beautiful secret garden for the first time in his life.

"Xueyao, thank you!" Thinking that this sword came from Xueyao's hand, he couldn't help but mutter.

In the secret garden protected by numerous barriers, spiritual energy so rich that it was almost materialized lingered and diffused like light smoke.

Every inch of land and every blade of grass there seems to contain endless vitality and vigor. It is indeed an excellent place for cultivation.

In fact, at a certain moment before, when he first stepped into this secret garden, he had already fallen deeply in love with this place.

At that time, he thought to himself, if he could find an opportunity to stay here for a while longer, how wonderful it would be!

But what was unexpected was that this time he took the risk to sneak into this secret garden. Although Xue Yao looked annoyed at first, she finally chose to keep him.

Although the ten days in this secret garden were less than half an hour in the outside world, he was already delighted and satisfied to have such a rare opportunity.

Perhaps it was because of his special and indescribable feelings for Xue Yao that he unconsciously felt a strong urge deep in his heart, driving him to continue to get closer to Xue Yao.

It’s just a pity that this time, Xueyao’s reaction to the heart-shaped jade pendant he gave her was so indifferent.

The man gave a wry smile, knowing Xueyao hadn't recognized the deeper meaning behind the jade pendant. He had painstakingly crafted it, infusing it with a wisp of his soul.

In terms of appearance, it is still based on the heart-shaped jade pendant picture.

He thought Xueyao would be touched when she saw the jade pendant, even if it was just a little curiosity.

"It's not her. Am I wrong in my guess?" he whispered.

At this moment, Xue Yao paced around the Secret Garden, examining the jade pendant repeatedly. She felt that there was something special about it, and not just because of the familiar aura.

Suddenly, the jade pendant emitted a faint light. When Xue Yao was surprised, the light turned into a picture, which was the look of the man with deep affection and concentration when he was making the jade pendant.

Xue Yao was stunned. The man's figure flashed through her mind. He was still wearing the golden mask. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

The man was about to return to the Secret Garden when he sensed the jade pendant's unusual movements. He looked up in the direction of the Secret Garden, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Xueyao, I hope you understand my feelings."

Xue Yao held the jade pendant and made up her mind. No matter who the black shadow was, she would find him and ask him clearly.

She no longer bothered about it and turned to walk towards her residence.

Along the way, the exotic flowers and plants growing lushly beside her seemed to be keenly aware of her depressed and lost mood.

The flowers that used to sway and dance happily in the wind now all hung their heads, and their originally gorgeous petals looked a little listless.

After returning to her quiet residence, Xue Yao casually took out a yellowed ancient book from the bookshelf, and then sat quietly in front of the window, trying to immerse herself completely in the text of this ancient book and forget all the boredom and distress in her heart.

However, the opposite happened. Whenever she stared at it, the densely packed words on the pages would transform into playful and lively elves, jumping and flashing constantly. Finally, they all turned into the vague outline of the mysterious black shadow.
