The Otherworldly God

Chapter 371

The night breeze blows gently, carrying the scent of ancient trees, making a rustling sound, as if it is the breath of nature, which is particularly clear in this quiet night.

Ziji turned around and looked at the swaying branches. Le Zheng Yuhua's reminder was like a flash of lightning, instantly illuminating the fog in Ziji's heart.

She turned around and picked up the copy of Dream of the Red Chamber. Her eyes were slightly red, tears welled up in them but never fell. She looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, her voice trembling a little: "He...he really chose me, right?"

Le Zheng Yuhua looked at Zi Ji, a complex emotion welling up in his heart, but he still replied firmly: "Yes!"

Ziji nodded, but couldn't help but shed tears. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and took a deep breath, as if to expel all the anxiety and confusion from her body.

"I should have believed him. I should have believed him."

Le Zheng Yuhua could hear the self-blame in her voice, and could understand her distrust of humans. Although it was not innate, the repeated deceptions and injuries from humans completely wiped out her slightest fantasy about humans.

Le Zheng Yuhua didn't know how to comfort her. She was still a little worried about Le Zheng Qiming and the others. She thought that the tree demon could attack her from such a long distance, so it must be quite powerful. And according to the time, they should have met it a long time ago. She wondered why it had the opportunity to attack her from a distance.

Le Zheng Yuhua was silent for a moment, but decided to speak to stop her sadness, but Zi Ji stood up with a tear.

"Master Yuhua, rest assured, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Ziji rushed over shouting danger. Le Zheng Yuhua reacted quickly and did not let Ziji block the damage for him. He used the Heavenly Sword to block the damage while protecting Ziji and jumped out of the collapsing wooden house.

The tree demon's vines emerged from the ground like tentacles, destroying not only the wooden house, but also Lin Shengye's belongings and Zi Ji's memories. Scrap paper fell from the sky like snowflakes.

Ziji stretched out his hand, but all he caught were crumbs that vanished in the wind.

"I used to trust others so much, but they were not worthy of my trust. So when there was one person who was worthy of my trust, I trusted him the least."

Missed is missed, Le Zheng Yuhua now understands this already, so he is more worried about everything he has now.

“Equally famous!”

Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zhengan were currently being tightly entangled by vines, as if they were about to be embedded in each other's bodies in the next second.

Le Zheng Qiming regretted not standing with his back to Le Zhengan, so that now they were face to face, it was so awkward.

When they learned that Le Zheng Yuhua had sent the Nine-Colored Deer away, they understood that this was an opportunity for them to rescue people, so after knocking out the fireflies that were monitoring them, the two of them quickly reunited.

"Be careful, all the fireflies here could be each other's eyes."

"I know, but there are too many to guard against."

Le Zhengan took out two pieces of talisman paper from his arms, stuck one on Le Zheng Qiming's head and the other on his own head, muttering something.

Le Zheng Qiming was curious and wanted to take it down to have a look, but was stopped by him.

"This is the talisman my mother gave me. It is said that it can make one invisible. If I follow the method she taught me, it will be no problem for a quarter of an hour."

Le Zheng Qiming didn't quite believe him and looked at him, "Are you sure we are invisible? I think you are fine. Look at your nose, eyes and mouth, are you sure we are really invisible?"

After being told twice by him, and since it was his first time using it, Le Zhengan began to have doubts and was not sure whether he had done it.

"I don't know about that. Logically, we shouldn't be able to see each other, but my mother seemed to have said that under the same spell, we can see each other, so I don't know either."

"Why don't you take one off and have a look?"

Le Zhengan held his hand and asked, "Will this be useless if you take it off?"

"You ask me? How should I know? You took this thing out, you don't even know it yourself, and you still expect me to do it?"

Le Zhengan explained aggrievedly: "This is also the first time I have come into contact with this kind of magic. I was in a hurry when I came here, and my mother didn't have time to explain it in detail."

Le Zheng Qiming originally wanted to take off his own talisman paper to see the situation, but after a pause he directly tore off the one on his head. By the time Le Zhengan reacted, his figure had already disappeared.

"Yes, it works."

Le Zheng Qiming tried to put the sticker on him but failed. Thinking of the saliva he seemed to have used just now, he put the sticker on him without hesitation.

Although Le Zheng'an disliked it, it was stuck on so firmly that he was worried it would be useless if it got damaged, so he followed Le Zheng Qiming's example and took it off.

"Where... have you been?"

Le Zhengan slapped him, and Le Zhengqiming looked up with disgust.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

"Good ones don't learn. Go, go, go."

"Shh! This thing can only be invisible, it can't hide anything else."

"You mean, not only do we have to sneak in, but we also have to hide our aura?"

"It seems that aura can be hidden, but sounds and the like may not be possible."

"Nothing is clear, it's unreliable."

Le Zheng'an was about to retort, but Le Zheng Qiming turned around and motioned for him to be quiet, so the two of them carefully and slowly moved into the tree demon's territory with difficulty. They were almost exposed several times along the way for various reasons.

As soon as Le Zhengan entered, he felt the presence of Le Zhenglei and the other two. He soon discovered that they were tightly bound in the body of the tree demon and their faces did not look very good.

He wanted to go over, but was stopped by Le Zheng Qiming, who gestured for him to look at the danger he had to face.

In the cave, a thick tree trunk was supporting the top of the cave, as if most of its body was above the ground outside; the roots underneath seemed to be very deep, yet seemed to be all floating on the surface.

Le Zheng Qiming signaled him to be careful of the tree roots on the ground. If they touched them, they would undoubtedly be exposed. However, there were too many tree roots on the ground. What Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng'an didn't know was that those tree roots buried underground were enough for the tree demon to sense someone approaching. So they were exposed before they even entered the cave. It was just that at this moment the tree demon was silently watching Le Zheng Yuhua and the others.

"You humans are so annoying, over and over again."

The tree demon saw Zi Ji's happy and shy look through the fireflies. It had never seen such a look before and it hadn't seen him for a long time. It couldn't help but think of the man who fell from the sky many years ago.

When the tree demon thought of him, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. Not only did he try to persuade Ziji to be good, he also turned Lingdao into an isolated island that could not be found, cutting off its food source.

What it could not accept the most was that he could easily get Zi Ji's love and even dreamed of marrying Zi Ji. This was absolutely unacceptable.

“I will use him to make Zi Ji completely lose her trust in humans. Only in this way will she fall into my arms and practice dual cultivation with me. By then, the whole world will be at my fingertips. Hahahaha…”
