Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

When the man in black revealed that Hong Feng'er was his junior sister, Xue Yao released her divine sense and discovered that this challenger was not evil, but came with a deep love for Hong Feng'er.

Faced with this unexpected truth, Xueyao was caught in a dilemma. She was torn between whether to take ruthless action.

After a brief mental struggle, she remained steadfast to her original intention. It seemed that this sudden challenge had allowed her to see more clearly within herself.

So, she no longer had any concerns and threw herself into the battle without hesitation.

She felt that this was not just a contest between opponents, but also a challenge to her inner self. She had to overcome her hesitation and anxiety, while also dealing with the unexpected and psychological shocks brought by the challenger.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the other party escaped and disappeared, as if melting into the air.

Xue Yao did not pursue him, as she was not aware of his intentions. She would never act rashly before clarifying the situation.

However, through this duel, she clearly understood that her cultivation still needed to be greatly improved. Otherwise, what would she do if she encountered even more severe challenges in the future?

After emerging from seclusion, she continued to practice daily and felt quite good. But now it seemed that this practice was still not enough, not enough to allow her to easily deal with some difficult problems. She had to work harder and make even greater efforts.

If she wants to survive here and protect the lives of the people in this mountain, she must become stronger.

While thinking, she flew towards Meihua Mountain and walked into the yard. She thought to herself, there is something complicated behind this Hong Feng'er!

Red Maple?

Thinking of Hong Feng'er, Xue Yao quickly walked towards the small house on the left side of the yard. Ah, where was Hong Feng'er?

What's going on? Aren't the challenger and his men outside? I haven't seen anyone coming this way, let alone entering the yard.

"Is there something wrong, Yaoyao?" Yun Duoduo saw that she looked thoughtful when she came in, so she didn't bother to interrupt. Now, seeing that she was still frowning and worried, she stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Hong Feng'er is missing." Xue Yao felt helpless.

"Ah, he's gone? I've been guarding the gate of the yard, but I didn't see anyone coming in!" Yun Duoduo was very surprised.

"Yes, it seems that there is someone else besides those challengers today."

Someone else? Who could it be?

Perhaps the challenger suddenly left because he learned that Hong Feng'er had been abducted? But that was unlikely, as he had been fighting fiercely with me the entire time.

Xueyao couldn't find any clue for a moment.

Forget it, no matter where Hong Feng'er goes, she has to heal her wounds first, so she shouldn't cause any waves for the time being.

At this time, it was already dusk.

She checked Renhu's injuries and fortunately they were only flesh wounds. After applying some medicine and resting for a few days, he would be fine.

He also reminded Yun Duoduo that her body was still weak and needed some time to recuperate.

Then he took the pulse of the man in white, sighed, and got up to prepare dinner.

After dinner, after arranging everything, she returned to her bedroom and slipped into the Yaolin Secret Garden.

These days, she'd been so bogged down by trivial matters that, despite insisting on practicing daily, she'd been in Plum Fragrance Pavilion and hadn't properly practiced in the Secret Garden. It was such a shame to think such a place filled with spiritual energy was left unused; it was such a waste.

She decided that from tonight on, unless there were special circumstances, she would sneak into the secret garden to practice after nightfall.

Not only that, you also have to take some time to plan well and make full use of the secret garden as soon as possible.

As soon as they entered the Secret Garden, the little creature immediately pounced on them. Xue Yao stretched out her arm, hoping it would land on her, but it had already landed firmly on her shoulder.

The little guy is quite opinionated.

Xue Yao picked it up with amusement and held it gently in her palm. "Let's give you a name. From now on, I'll call you Xue Yu, okay?"

"Chirp..." When the little guy heard the word "snow" in his name, his eyes lit up and he actually flapped his wings a few times, then nodded repeatedly, looking quite happy.

"Okay, let's go play!" Unconsciously, Xueyao's mood also relaxed a lot.

That night, for the Secret Garden, felt like half a year. The spiritual energy here was countless times richer than that of the Biyun Cave. Xueyao, having devoted herself to cultivation for the first time in the Secret Garden, felt deeply benefited.

Due to her special constitution, her body was free of impurities. Rich spiritual energy poured into her body, as if her meridians and acupoints were purified and tempered, and her spiritual consciousness became increasingly powerful.

At dawn, she left the Secret Garden. She cooked a pot of rice porridge, cut a few salted duck eggs, and fried some pancakes. She called Yun Duoduo and Renhu over to eat breakfast together.

Yesterday, while treating Renhu's injuries, Xueyao had already told Yun Duoduo everything about him. For some reason, Yun Duoduo simply trusted Xueyao unconditionally. Since Xueyao had decided to take Renhu in, she had no objections.

After breakfast, Xueyao fed the man in white a bowl of chicken soup. She used the same method as before, but at a much faster pace.

The man in white had recovered from his injuries, but he was too weak from the severe torture he had endured for so long, and needed nourishment. When Xueyao was simmering the chicken soup, she added ginseng and other nourishing herbs.

The man in white felt uneasy. He had clearly been awake for many days, yet he was still reluctant to reveal himself. He himself felt that this was really unkind.

Especially after yesterday's situation, he felt even more guilty. Even though he knew she could handle it, he should have helped her. God knows, ever since he heard Xueyao took Renhu out to fight, his heart has been aching.

But...but what had he done? Not only did he not help her, he also did something that was currently disadvantageous to her.

He felt very conflicted.

He hated his own helplessness and his own actions. After a moment of self-deprecation, he felt like slapping himself. Then, he whispered to himself, "Hong, Feng, Er..."

Xue Yao had no idea what the man in white was thinking. After feeding him chicken soup, she said to Yun Duoduo and Ren Hu, "Let's go down the mountain."

"it is good."

"Yes."

Yun Duoduo and Renhu responded at the same time.

The two of them didn't know where they were going or what their purpose was. Xueyao didn't tell them, and they didn't ask. They just followed her.

Naturally, they had no idea what Xueyao was planning regarding Hong Fenger's disappearance.

After going down the mountain, they first went to a house at the foot of the mountain.

This family had been deeply cared for by the original owner, and they were very familiar with each other. For decades before the original owner's passing, she had regularly visited the family. She would never refuse to lend a hand, regardless of age.

This family consists of seven people. The head of the household, Tao Junhua, is over sixty, and his wife is only a year younger. The eldest son is married with a child, and both are extremely filial to their parents. The second son, having won the top spot on the imperial examination three years ago, now serves as an official in the capital. The youngest son, uninterested in fame and fortune, enjoys traveling extensively.

Over thirty years ago, the original owner was enjoying a trip through the mountains when, on a whim, she decided to take flight to admire the entirety of Plum Blossom Mountain. She loved the scenery of Plum Blossom Mountain and had admired it many times before.

But just as she was about to take off, a huge eagle suddenly flew out of nowhere and knocked her down, sending her spinning and crashing behind Tao Junhua's house. If Tao Junhua and his wife hadn't rescued her in time, she might have died...

However, the moment Xueyao stepped into the Tao family courtyard, she felt something strange.
