Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Hong Feng'er looked at the black energy in Xue Yao's hand, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

That was the power of the ancient demon god in her body. Once the black energy was sealed, she would completely lose the ability to resist.

But she also knew that she had no other choice. She could only silently endure Xue Yao's sealing power and gradually fell into a coma.

Xue Yao sighed as she gazed at the unconscious Hong Feng'er. She knew that while this battle was won, the real challenge had just begun. The power of the ancient demon god still lingered in this world, and she must remain vigilant to prevent him from wreaking havoc again. At the same time, she also had to find a way to help Hong Feng'er regain consciousness and get her back on the right path.

He flashed into the secret garden and was greeted by Xue Yu. He had already seen Xue Yao capture Hong Feng'er in the secret garden.

"Xueyao, if we capture Hong Feng'er, will her master become desperate?" He was a little worried. "Will he take action against the Tao family and those shops?"

Xue Yao had of course thought of all this, so before entering the secret garden, she had set up a barrier around the entire Liancheng and Taojia Village.

The transparent, invisible barrier had no effect on mortals, who could enter and exit freely as usual. However, those possessing the power of the ancient demon gods were unable to enter.

The power of the ancient demon god? How could the power of the ancient demon god exist in this world? She had to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Yes, Xueyu, you're right." Seeing Xueyu so alert, she was relieved. "Don't worry, I've set up a barrier. However, this isn't a long-term solution. We must find a way to eliminate the power of this ancient demon god and prevent it from harming the world."

Xue Yu nodded, feeling a little relieved, "Okay, then I will continue to practice."

"Go ahead." Xue Yao said with a smile, but she was thinking about something else in her mind.

At this moment, Xiao Lin'er, who was meditating in the wooden house, ran out and asked, "Mother, who is she?"

He had just seen his mother fighting with this man. His mother was so powerful that she easily took down the bad guy.

He still vividly remembered the scene of his mother beating up Huo Yitong. Back then, he'd already thought his mother was incredibly powerful. Unexpectedly, today, he'd discovered she was even more powerful. His mother was like an omnipotent goddess, capable of handling any challenge with ease.

"She was a maple tree in Fenghua Mountain. After much cultivation, she was able to transform into a human form, but she went astray. She became the manager of Fenghua Mountain, in charge of all the elves in the mountain, but she acted recklessly..." Xue Yao wanted to take the opportunity to teach Xiao Lin'er a lesson, telling him not to trust people easily when he is away from home, so as not to be deceived.

But she still had something else to do, so she said to Xiao Lin'er, "Go and practice obediently. I'll explain this to you in detail later, okay?"

Xiao Lin'er blinked her big eyes, listening intently. Although she had just transformed, she was very intelligent and quickly understood Xue Yao's intention.

"Mother, okay." Xiao Lin nodded solemnly after hearing Xue Yao say this. Before she finished speaking, she had already run off to practice.

Xueyao couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiaolin'er like this.

He called Renhu and Yun Duoduo, "Come on, accompany me to Liancheng."

Every time they went out, they would return to Meixiang Pavilion before entering the Secret Garden. Although the Secret Garden had everything, Meixiang Pavilion was their home in the human world.

Therefore, when coming out of the Secret Garden, one will first appear at Meixiang Pavilion.

After walking out of Meixiang Pavilion, the three of them each turned into a stream of light, and after a few breaths, they landed in a deserted place outside Liancheng.

This time she did not go to the Tao family. Unless there were special circumstances, Xueyao would still visit the Tao family once a month.

After arriving in Liancheng, Xueyao went to find Liu Maodong again.

Liu Maodong was delighted when he saw Xueyao, wondering what new tricks this girl would come up with. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to him on her own initiative.

He smiled and said, "Miss Xueyao, what brings you here today?"

Xue Yao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Master Liu, you wouldn't want to be unwelcome, would you?"

"Please take a seat. Welcome, welcome! How could I not welcome you?" Liu Maodong said with a smile. "However, Miss Xueyao has come here in person. I guess she must have something to ask?"

"Mr. Liu is truly clever. I don't have to hide it anymore," Xue Yao said without beating around the bush. "I'm planning to sell fruit wine. Based on your experience, is it better to deliver it to restaurants, or should I just open a wine shop?"

Liu Maodong was surprised. "Fruit wine? You brewed it yourself, how much is it?"

"Well, I brewed it myself. I have as much as you want." Xue Yao smiled and said confidently.

After saying that, he took out a small porcelain bottle of fruit wine from the secret garden under the cover of his sleeve pocket and handed it to Liu Maodong.

Liu Maodong took the porcelain bottle, pulled out the cork, and the aroma of peach wine instantly filled the air.

He took a sip carefully, his eyes suddenly flashing with amazement, "Great wine! This wine has a unique aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and a mellow taste. It is definitely not comparable to ordinary fruit wine. Miss Xueyao, if you sell this wine, it will definitely cause a sensation."

Xue Yao smiled complacently, "Master Liu is absolutely right. This is exactly what I meant. However, I'm a little undecided about whether to run a wine shop or send it to a restaurant. Master Liu is very experienced, and I'd like to hear your opinion."

Liu Maodong put down the porcelain bottle, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "In my opinion, it's better to open a wine shop. That way, you can fully control the quality and quantity of the wine, and you can also shape the brand image and attract more customers. Sending it to restaurants, while it can quickly open up the market, the restaurant's buyers may lower the price, and you can't control the sales of the wine in the restaurant."

Xue Yao nodded. "Mr. Liu's words make sense. However, opening a wine shop requires a series of matters such as site selection, decoration, and recruitment. I don't have enough experience in this area, so I have to rely on Mr. Liu."

Liu Maodong laughed heartily. "Ms. Xueyao, this isn't the first time we've worked together, so don't be polite. I can help you with site selection and renovations. Recruiting isn't difficult either, as I have some reliable candidates."

Xue Yao was overjoyed, "That's great! With Mr. Liu's help, my wine shop will surely be smooth sailing."

The two discussed some details, and Liu Maodong agreed to start helping Xueyao select a location tomorrow. Xueyao agreed to give Liu Maodong 20% of the profits after the matter was completed.

Liu Maodong actually just wanted to help her, but he also knew he couldn't persuade her. It had been the same with the grain store and the livestock exchange before. So, he acquiesced.

After the deal was settled, Xueyao stood up to take her leave. As Liu Maodong saw her off, he secretly sighed: This girl Xueyao is not only beautiful, but also smart and capable. She is truly a rare talent. He decided that he must help her run the wine shop and contribute to his own career at the same time.

The next day, Liu Maodong set about selecting a location in Liancheng. He walked through the streets and alleys of Liancheng, looked at countless shops, and finally chose a bustling area in the city center. The store was spacious and in a prime location, making it the perfect place to open a wine shop.

When he decided to choose this place, a thought flashed through his mind: This wine shop, maybe in a short time, Xueyao will probably open branches in four directions like the grain shop.

Thinking of this, he gave himself a thumbs-up in his heart, because if that was the case, then this location was the perfect choice.

As he expected, Xueyao was very satisfied with Liu Maodong's choice of location. Liu Maodong was still responsible for tidying up the shop and hanging the sign, and Xueyao had already prepared all the necessary items such as wine containers.

As for recruiting bartenders and waitresses, Xueyao left it to Tao Xuzhi.

Three days later, the secret winery opened successfully. Thanks to Xueyao's superb winemaking skills and Liu Maodong's extensive network of contacts, business was booming. However, no one expected an unexpected visitor to arrive just after noon on the opening day.
