Qin Yao laughed: "You really dare to think about it. That book is a secret treasure that is vital to my life. It will not be borrowed, let alone given away. This is just a jewel as a betrothal gift. Do you want it? If not,
From now on, don’t go looking for Xiaoqian. If you try to rob me again, I will burn this ancient forest down."
The dryad argued: "That's not what you said. The book is very important to you, but isn't Xiaoqian important to me? She is my precious daughter, and among their eighteen sisters, I am the only one who loves her most.
She alone."
Qin Yao suppressed his smile, silently raised his sword and pointed it at the opponent: "How about a fight? If you win, listen to you. If I win, listen to me."
As the long knife pointed, the tree demon suddenly felt his whole body tense up, as if he was being targeted by a terrible natural enemy, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose spontaneously.
"If the blades are facing each other, it will hurt the spirit."
"Hurt Heqi?"
Qin Yao looked a little weird, and slowly lowered the blade: "Then you can tell me a good way that won't hurt the harmony."
The tree demon opened his arms, and soft branches suddenly stretched out from the big tree behind him, condensing into a huge hand, suspended between the two of them.
"How about wrestling? No matter if you pull my hand or break it, you win. If you win, it will be as you wish."
"Okay." Qin Yao agreed and threw the three-pointed two-edged sword smoothly: "Xiang Liu, come and test your strength with him."
"Huh~"
The long knife rose into the air, a fishy wind suddenly rose, and as a dazzling black light flashed by, the huge hydra monster transformed in the light, with nine heads and eighteen eyes, looking coldly at the tree demon ahead.
Under the gaze of this gaze, the dryad demon's heart sank, and its soul instantly became tense.
He was completely unable to see the true strength of this snake demon.
When this happens, either the opponent possesses a rare treasure, or the demon is far more powerful than you.
But no matter which conclusion it is, it is not a good thing for Him...
"What are you stunned for?"
Xiang Liu's snake head spoke human words, controlled its tail to reach the palm of the branch, and swung its tail: "I'm right in front of you, how do you want to compare?"
The tree demon stared at Xiang Liu for a long time, then suddenly waved his sleeves and retracted the countless branches that made up the giant hand: "No need to compete, I recognize your strength."
Xiang Liu said quietly: "Then hand over the urn."
The dryad raised his right hand and summoned a porcelain jar the size of an ordinary wine jar. He flicked his wrist and threw the jar violently.
"call……"
The gray ceramic altar rotated at high speed in the air, rushing towards Xiang Liu with the momentum of being shattered into pieces.
Xiang Liu's eighteen eyes glowed with blood at the same time. The ceramic jar that was speeding towards him was tightly imprisoned in front of him by a powerful spiritual power, and every trace of evil spirit was forced out like water vapor.
The tree demon was secretly shocked, but also a little lucky.
It seemed that his prediction was correct. The strength of this monster was indeed just as powerful as his own.
If I had not understood the current affairs just now, I am afraid that things would have been much worse now!
"despair."
Xiang Liu put his head on Nie Xiaoqian's ashes altar, turned and floated in front of Qin Yao with the altar.
"Thank you." Qin Yao said with cupped hands.
The dryad laughed twice and returned the greeting: "You're welcome."
Qin Yao put his hands behind his back, flew up gracefully, landed on Xiang Liu's head, and said lightly: "Tree Demon, we will meet again."
The tree demon's heart trembled, looking at the back of his beast master as he left, he murmured: "What kind of bad luck did I have!!!"
Just before dawn.
Xiaoqian walked around Lanruo Temple, looking in the direction of the temple door from time to time, with an anxious look on her face.
She once acted as a tiger and killed people. She thought that her heart had become frozen and even withered as those lives left. But when the hope of transcendence really appeared, she suddenly realized that her heart had never died, but was just deceiving herself and others. Seal it in dust to relieve guilt and pain.
"Click."
Just when she was restless, the old and leaky door of the ancient temple was pushed open from the outside.
Nie Xiaoqian's mind wandered, and she hurriedly looked up and saw a burly figure holding a porcelain altar in the palm of his hand, striding into the courtyard with the cold wind.
"grown ups."
Nie Xiaoqian turned into a ray of white light and came to the other party in an instant. She stared blankly at the small porcelain altar: "This is..."
Qin Yao casually threw the porcelain altar towards the other party and said indifferently: "Your ashes."
Nie Xiaoqian was startled by his casual behavior. She quickly opened her arms and hugged the urn tightly, her soul trembling.
If you didn't secure it just now and accidentally dropped the urn to the ground, but if a gust of wind blew and took the ashes away, then you would have no hope of reincarnation...
But despite this, with her own urn in her arms, could she still blame the other party?
"Your Majesty is so kind and virtuous. Xiaoqian has nothing to repay. She only wishes to wear a grass ring in the next life to repay this kindness..."
"Don't talk about the next life, you can repay her in this life." Qin Yao waved his hand, interrupting her gratitude.
"Ah?" Nie Xiaoqian was stunned.
"Ah what?"
Qin Yao asked back: "The repayment you keep saying is not just talk, is it?"
"Of course not." Nie Xiaoqian shook her head and took a deep breath: "What...what does my benefactor need Xiaoqian to do?"
Qin Yao pointed at Lanruo Temple and ordered: "Let's clean up first. Look at the people buried here. How terrible it will look in the future."
Nie Xiaoqian: "???"
"Don't you understand what cleaning means?" Looking at her stunned look, Qin Yao asked with a frown.
Nie Xiaoqian woke up from a dream and nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know."
"It's good that you know. I think this place is quite big. You should do it early." Qin Yao waved at her and strode towards the side room where they first met.
He looked carefully and found that the entire Lanruo Temple was a little cleaner than this one. It should have been that the scholar was staying there and had cleaned it carefully before moving in...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a flash of fish belly white appeared in the sky.
"Dong dong."
In the wing room, just when Qin Yao finally felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep, a slight knock on the door suddenly woke him up from his drowsiness.
"What's the matter?"
"My lord, it's almost dawn." Xiaoqian whispered outside the wooden door.
"It's dawn, it's dawn, do you still care when I go to bed?" Qin Yao asked puzzledly.
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's not what I meant... I mean, I can't continue cleaning Lanruo Temple at dawn. I can only wait until the sun goes down to continue the work."
"That's not necessary." Qin Yao said lightly: "Come in."
Xiaoqian didn't know why, but she still walked through the door.
Qin Yao raised his finger, drew a talisman in the air, and flicked the light talisman towards Xiaoqian with a snap of his fingers, integrating it into her soul: "Go to work with ease. I planted a light-protecting talisman on you, which will last for at least three days. , you don’t have to be afraid of the sun!”
