Chapter 13: The Treasure Tree that reaches the sky
After an hour of being bored like this, Chai Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Shangguan Peining, are you still there?
My mind was very quiet, without any response...
I know you can hear me, but what I want to say is that you haven’t done what you promised me before...
Hey, what kind of cultivator doesn't mean to keep his word! Hey...
"Who are you talking about?" Shangguan Peining finally couldn't hold it back and was provoked by Chai Yan.
After hooking Shangguan Peining out, it was Chai Yan's turn to stop talking. Not only did he stop talking, he also fell asleep.
"Chai Yan, tell me clearly!" Shangguan Peining asked.
Chai Yan closed his eyes and said slowly in his heart: "You personally promised me something, and you forgot it so quickly?"
"What did I promise you?" Shangguan Peining asked.
Chai Yan immediately opened his eyes and asked: "Who are you? Where do you come from? Why are you creating a barrier in my mind space?"
After saying that, Chai Yan immediately added another question: "Also, why do you want me to drink human blood?"
“…..”
Chai Yan was waiting for Shangguan Peining's answer, but she turned on the silent mode again.
Chai Yan secretly let out a breath and said: "Shangguan Peining, the two of us have to do this now even if we don't want to. Can we sit down and have a good talk face to face, and talk things over? Isn't it good? All the time.
There’s no point in arguing..."
"..."
"Oh, forget it, let me go to sleep."
Just when Chai Yan thought that Shangguan Peining was unwilling to communicate with him, Shangguan Peining spoke up...
"Come in!"
Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, with a smile on his lips and said: "Escape!"
After the dazzling white light dissipated, Chai Yan was in the mind space, and it was still the same position he was in when he entered it the previous two times.
Chai Yan looked at his feet and thought that this place was probably the entrance to Shangguan Pei's condensation realm...
"Why are you standing there, why don't you come over here!" A familiar female voice suddenly sounded from the front.
Chai Yan hurriedly looked up and saw that about two or three feet in front, there stood a stunning woman in gorgeous clothes. This person was Shangguan Peining!
Because of his previous "treadmill" experience, Chai Yan took the step after hesitating for a while.
However, this time it seemed that the situation did not happen. After taking a few steps, Chai Yan was sure that he had indeed shortened the distance from Shangguan Peining.
When Chai Yan was almost ten feet away from Shangguan Peining, Shangguan Peining suddenly stopped Chai Yan: "Stop!"
"What's wrong?" Chai Yan asked, but his steps still stopped.
Shangguan Peining said calmly: "I don't like strangers approaching me, especially men... Remember, you must keep this distance from me in the future!"
Chai Yan immediately rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and secretly screamed in his heart, who cares...
"This is the best!" Shangguan Peining said immediately.
Chai Yan couldn't hide what he was thinking from Shangguan Peining.
In fact, from the day the barrier was born in the mind space, the two of them have been in a state of connectedness.
However, Shangguan Peining never showed up, so Chai Yan didn't know about her existence.
Chai Yan didn't want to get entangled in trivial matters anymore, so he signaled to Shangguan Peining: "Please start..."
After Shangguan Peining heard this, the scene around Chai Yan began to change rapidly. When the scene stopped, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the farmyard.
Chai Yan was not very surprised. It turned out that he had read many fantasy cultivation novels about that world, and this rapid displacement was just a small scene.
"That's pretty much it. I'll ask the landlord to come in and sit for a while..."
As he spoke, Chai Yan was about to walk into the yard.
Unexpectedly, the "treadmill" mode was turned on by Shangguan Peining again, and Chai Yan couldn't walk through the courtyard gate that was so close.
"Hey, that's enough!" Chai Yan said angrily.
Shangguan Peining stood there and stared at Chai Yan. The hem of her gorgeous dress actually moved automatically in the absence of wind, exuding a fairy spirit...
After a while, Shangguan Peining said coldly: "Who said I wanted to invite you in?"
Chai Yan asked in confusion: "If you don't go in, why did you bring me to the door?"
Shangguan Peining said calmly: "Come with me!"
After saying that, the person turned around and left.
Chai Yan had no choice but to follow her, and naturally he did not forget to keep a foot away from her.
Soon, the two of them walked around to the back of the small courtyard.
What appeared in Chai Yan's sight was a bean tree that was about two people tall. The main trunk of the tree was about the thickness of an adult's thigh, and the whole tree was like a big umbrella.
Why is it called the bean tree?
The reason is very simple, because the things on the tree are actually pods, colorful pods!
There are red ones, purple ones, yellow ones, and even the cyan color that Chai Yan is familiar with...
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen a tree with pods growing on it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I've learned a lot!"
Chai Yan couldn't help but walked to the foot of the tree, looking at everything on the tree with a curious expression on his face...
Shangguan Peining was quite satisfied with Chai Yan's appearance, so she proudly introduced: "This is my natal magic weapon, the tree that reaches the sky!"
"Tongtian...... precious tree?"
Such a short tree, you actually told me it’s called the Tongtian Baoshu?
Shangguan Peining immediately changed her tone of displeasure: "What do you know? The Tongtian Treasure Tree has just recovered and needs careful cultivation. When the time comes, it will surely grow to a height that will astonish you!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say will be fine..." Chai Yan did not argue with her, but asked instead: "Why are you taking me to see this tree?"
Shangguan Peining frowned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you just ask why I asked you to drink human blood?"
Chai Yan nodded.
"Because the Tongtian Treasure Tree needs to be irrigated with blood!" Shangguan Peining looked directly at Chai Yan.
After hearing this, Chai Yan's heart trembled inexplicably, and he unconsciously stepped back, as if he was afraid that a bloody mouth would suddenly appear on the tree and swallow him whole!
"Hmph, you are as timid as a rat!" Shangguan Peining sneered and made a sound of contempt.
Chai Yan wanted to save face and said: "Who... who said I'm scared? I just want to step back a little so I can appreciate the full view of the precious tree..."
Shangguan Peining was too lazy to answer Chai Yan's words, only to see her body suddenly float into the air, hanging in mid-air as high as a person.
"My Shangguan Peining is a high-level monk worshiped by Aoyue Kingdom..."
