North of Yingying City, the peach blossom demon Li Li has been very unhappy recently, and the reason why it is not in a good mood is because the two humans it knows seem to be dying.
Tao Lili is a demon formed from a three-hundred-year-old peach blossom tree. It has lived in Ying City since it became conscious. Most demon clans have territorial awareness. Naturally, the north of Ying City has become Tao Lili's territory.
A long time ago, Yingcheng had not yet become a town for human life. At that time, it was desolate, until the first batch of humans came here and built this Yingcheng under the order of the emperor at that time.
The prototype of Tao Lili was very beautiful, especially when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the pink petals were so beautiful that the Ningguo officials who were responsible for building Yingcheng at that time preserved this peach tree.
Tao Lili curiously watched humans build Yingcheng, watched the town change county magistrates one after another, watched the deaths and births of humans living next to it, and passed through generations.
Until more than thirty years ago, a couple gave birth to a baby boy here. The boy looked thin and small and often played under the peach blossom tree.
Tao Lili knew very well that as a demon, it was inconvenient for her to associate with humans, so every time she appeared in front of people, she would use demon power to cover up her figure. People around her only knew that this was a strange peach tree that did not bear fruit.
I know it is actually a demon clan.
One day, Tao Lili once again used her demonic power to cast a spell, making her body invisible to humans. Then she went out to play happily. When she came back, the child sneakily ran under the peach blossom tree and said, "Peach tree, peach tree, you...
Is it a demon clan?"
Tao Lili was startled, but when she saw the child's eyes as clear as water, she couldn't see the slightest rejection of the demon clan.
It appeared hesitantly in front of the child, "Can you see me?"
At this point, a peach tree and a human race became good friends in a place no one knew about.
The child gradually grew up, and after sending his parents away, he brought back the wife he loved most in his life when he was still young. He originally wanted to take his wife to meet his best friend since childhood, but Tao Lili refused.
Because his wife is just an ordinary person. Compared with the demon clan, the life span of human beings is too short. A human life is just a blink of an eye to the demon clan.
After many human beings who were friends with the demon clan passed away, in order to save their close friends, many demon clan even did too many irrational things for this purpose, which eventually led to thunder disasters.
To be honest, if the child hadn't seen Tao Lili himself, Tao Lili would not have interacted with the child.
The young man's wife gave birth to a son for him not long after. On the day he became a father, under the incomprehensible eyes of the people around him, he happily held a wine glass and talked to himself for a long time under the peach blossom tree.
Tao Lili was also very happy. When the young man's child was born, she quietly hugged the baby.
The young man's family is not rich to begin with. Now that the children are imported, the adults can still deal with it, but the children cannot be careless. The meager income earned by the young man doing odd jobs is not enough to support the family.
It happened that at this time, the young man heard that the city next door was recruiting people to build the city wall. Not only would accommodation and three meals be included, but they would also be paid a large sum of money.
He was definitely a little tired, but when he thought that the money could support his family, the young man went without hesitation.
The city wall had been repaired for nearly two months. When it was almost completed, the young man accidentally fell off the newly repaired city wall and lost his breath on the spot.
Afterwards, in addition to the wages that the young man deserved, the government also paid an additional sum of money to the orphans and widows.
After this incident, Tao Lili has even less interactions with humans, because it does not want to experience the sadness of losing a close friend.
More than ten years later, the young man's child has grown up. The child is very sensible, honors his mother, is friendly to his neighbors, and respects his elders.
But for such a good boy, he had both of his arms broken for an inexplicable reason like sweating from a day's work and for the inexplicable reason that he smelled bad. The widowed mother stood up for him and returned home with injuries all over.
Tao Lili has never hated herself so much for not practicing properly in the past hundreds of years. Her little demonic power cannot cure a child at all.
In fact, the child was already dead when he was brought back. The fact that he survived for such a long time was the result of Tao Lili's desperate efforts to instill demon power into him to save his life.
Although the mother of the child was not seriously injured, for a lonely widow to lose her only son, even if she was still alive, her heart would already be worse than dead.
Tao Lili stood dejectedly on the peach blossom tree, looking at the thatched house not far away, feeling the increasingly faint atmosphere in the house, and almost cried out in sadness.
It seemed that its expression was too sad. Wang Juncheng hesitated for a while before speaking, "Um, can I ask you something?"
Tao Lili was startled, and turned warily to look at the human beings who were speaking. They were a man and a woman, about the same age as the little cub in the room. The man scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed to disturb his self-isolation, and the woman
She had a pitiful face, but her eyes made Tao Lili's heart skip a beat and she didn't dare to look directly.
What makes Tao Lili even more strange is that there is a chicken next to these two people. Judging from the aura, it must be a demon clan.
"Can you also see me?" Tao Lili said hesitantly.
Wang Cixi looked at Tao Lili with great interest and said, "It is not easy for the flower and plant elves to gain wisdom. You are the second demon clan I have seen that takes the form of a plant, and your demon power is pure. You are very good."
Tao Lili's eyes dimmed, "What's the use of taking the form of a plant? I can't even save a person."
Wang Juncheng said doubtfully, "Shouldn't you, the demons in plant form, be the best at healing wounds? Who can't even save you?"
Tao Lili lowered her head in shame. If she hadn't neglected her cultivation, how could she not have been able to save the child?
"Can you tell us what happened? Maybe we can help you save people." Wang Cixi saw that the Peach Blossom Demon was not an evil-doing demon, and thought that the other party and the Sophora Flower Empress in their village were both plant-shaped demons.
, take the initiative to help.
Tao Lili suddenly thought of what the other party had just said that he was the second demon in the form of a plant that they had ever seen. In other words, they also knew a demon in the form of a plant. Although it was a little waste, its
People of the same race are not necessarily useless.
Thinking of this, it suddenly stood up and slowly told what happened.
"Because the stench hit someone, you broke their arms, causing them to be seriously injured and dying?" Wang Juncheng frowned and became furious, "This is really unreasonable. Does he still deserve to be a human being?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Cixi's lips. She originally planned to investigate Mr. Chen's personality before making any plans, but now it seems that she was too gentle before.
