Following which, Shi Ling felt a tree branch suddenly appear behind him, tying him up.
Shi Ling's eyes slightly widened as he couldn't help but curse, "You're f * * king disgraceful!" After which, he arrived at the small island in front of the lake. He saw an old face on the peach tree, which looked like it belonged to an old granny who had just passed her prime.
Just like that, Shi Ling was suspended in midair and unable to move. At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng's voice suddenly rang out in Shi Ling's mind, "Shi Ling, be careful, that's a Peach Tree Demon with a cultivation level of a thousand years."
Shi Ling was dumbfounded. He hurriedly thought to himself, "That can't be right. Didn't you say that there aren't any thousand year old demonic beasts in this forest?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "Yes, I was talking about demon beasts, but not plants!"
The corner of Shi Ling's eyes twitched. He felt that he had been tricked to death. Immediately, he asked: "Then, what should I do now?"
Shi Ling knew very well that he was no match for the thousand-year Treant. The Treant could easily destroy him with a single breath. However, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Think of a way yourself!"
Bai Xiaosheng's attitude was the same as before. Only when Shi Ling was on the verge of death would he act to save him.
He no longer bothered about it and turned his gaze towards the Peach Tree Demon. He found that the giant old face was currently smiling at him, and all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. He looked extremely ugly, but to Shi Ling, this was nothing, he could only cough dryly and say, "May I ask what senior has called me here for?"
Since Bai Xiaosheng refused to help him, he could only think of a way to protect himself. In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, Shi Ling was unable to resist at all. He could only try his best to maintain a better attitude.
At Shi Ling's words, the Peach Blossom Demonic Beast laughed heartily and said, "You have even dirtied the water in my pool. Don't tell me you want to leave just like that?"
When Shi Ling heard this, he became anxious. He was just about to ask the other party when he suddenly remembered that he threw a leaf into the lake.
At this moment, he broke out in a bitter smile, "What, senior, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that I noticed that the lake water here is a little different from the ones outside, so I threw a leaf in, but I can guarantee that I don't have any intention of dirtying your lake. If you allow me, I'll immediately go back and get that leaf back!"
As Shi Ling spoke, he looked at the peach tree demon with anticipation, only to hear the peach tree demon chuckling. He immediately asked, "Don't always call me senior, am I that old?"
The corner of Shi Ling's mouth twitched when he heard this. He looked at the other party's wrinkled face and laughed dryly, "Of course not. How could big sister be old? She is clearly a perfect little fairy!"
As Shi Ling said this, he didn't forget to look at the sky, worried that if he were to lie, he would be struck by lightning. Hearing these words, the peach tree demon started laughing, the leaves on top of its leaves started swaying as it laughed, "Big sister? Little Fairy? "
As it spoke, it chuckled, as if it had heard some hilarious joke. As Shi Ling heard this, he began to sweat profusely. Right now, in order to escape from this fellow's grasp, he could say anything he wanted. Happy or angry.
He then heard the peach tree demon say, "Little fellow, do you know? I am already two thousand and five hundred years old this year, and you still call me big sister? "
Hearing that, it laughed again, causing Shi Ling's teeth to ache. He did not know what to say, and at that moment, his eyes flashed continuously, as all sorts of thoughts intertwined in his mind. Then, it suddenly laughed and said, "Who says you can't call me big sister just because you're old? In my heart, big sister, you are young and beautiful, just like a living and beautiful big girl! "
As he said this, Shi Ling nodded his head seriously. At this moment, he didn't care if the other party liked what they said or not. To deal with a mother, all they had to do was praise her beauty. After all, which woman didn't want to hear others praise her beauty?
Although the person in front of him wasn't a human at all, the Peach Tree Demon suddenly calmed down and said, "Okay, seeing that your mouth is quite sweet, big sister won't bother about you dirtying the lake. But remember, don't cause it again!"
Shi Ling nodded his head vigorously. He was just about to pat his chest and make a vow, but the Peach Fairy then said, "But, we can avoid death, but we can't escape from death! I still need to punish you appropriately! "
As he spoke, he revealed a thoughtful expression, and looked towards the sky. It was unknown what he was thinking about. Seeing this, Shi Ling felt like a cat scratching its head. He then heard the Peach Blossom Demon say, "Why don't you come listen to my story?"
Shi Ling couldn't help but let out an "ah". He thought he had misheard and asked, "I heard you tell a story?"
The peach tree demon nodded and said, "That's right, why? You don't want to? If you're not willing, then why don't you change it to something else? "
Shi Ling hurriedly nodded and said, "I'm willing, of course I'm willing!"
The Peach Tree Demon immediately laughed, revealing half of its teeth that had fallen out of its mouth. At the same time, it put Shi Ling down and said, "Good boy."
As he said this, he used a branch to rub Shi Ling's head, causing the corner of his eye to twitch even more. He immediately sat in front of the Peach Blossom Tree Demon and placed the egg in his heart ring, thinking, luckily, I was only listening to its story and don't have any other requests, otherwise I might not be able to bear it.
Immediately, he heard the Peach Blossom Demonic Beast laugh, "Little guy, big sis will first tell the story of big sister's childhood."
Shi Ling nodded and obediently sat down, just like a well-behaved child. In fact, he was extremely bored to death, and immediately began to mumble to himself. Shi Ling had been listening seriously at the start, and from time to time he would even ask a few questions, making it clear that he was seriously listening.
He spoke for several hours in a single breath, but there was no sign that he was going to stop. However, Shi Ling still patiently listened, because he had decided that as long as he could help him return, no matter how long he listened, he would listen!
Soon, four days later.
Shi Ling looked at the Peach Fairy in shock. Wasn't this way too f * cking good at talking? He saw it talking while making all sorts of expressions. When it came to the sad parts, it even had snot and tears. When it came to the happy parts, it smiled brilliantly.
Only Shi Ling's heart was filled with utter despair. During these four days and nights, Shi Ling had been sitting on the spot, listening to all kinds of things. In fact, ever since the second day, his mind had already become blank, and he could no longer hear anything too closely.
However, looking at the time, four days had passed. That meant that he would have to return to the sect tomorrow, and by then he would not be able to complete his mission. Thinking of this, Shi Ling panicked a bit.
The peach tree that was originally full of interest suddenly heard Shi Ling call it to stop. Immediately, it became unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Ling revealed a wry smile and said, "What is it? Sister Peach, can you let me go back first? I still have some matters to take care of, so I can't stay here any longer."
As he spoke, Shi Ling was about to stand up, but a branch suddenly snapped towards him. He pushed him to the ground and said, "No, you've already promised me that you'll listen to my story. You're not allowed to leave until I've finished!"
Shi Ling was speechless. Who knew that your story was so long? He hadn't listened to it for days. However, Shi Ling still smiled and said, "But, I really do have something urgent to do."
However, the peach tree demon cried out: "I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"
Shi Ling: "…"
After that, he thought for a while and then said, "How about this, I'll come visit you every few days, okay? And every time I come here, I'll bring you lots of fun things, okay? "
When the peach tree demon heard about something fun, its eyes immediately widened. "Really!"
However, after thinking for a while, he said, "No, what if you lie to me?"
Shi Ling immediately guaranteed, "I, Shi Ling, promise that I will definitely come visit you in the future. Otherwise, I'll die a horrible death. Is this alright?"
When the Peach Fairy heard this, its eyes began to spin and it said, "It still won't work."
Shi Ling was speechless. "Then what do you want me to do?"
The peach tree demon pouted and said, "Unless you play a trick to make me happy and I agree to let you go back, I won't let you leave and let you stay here to accompany me!"
Shi Ling opened his mouth and said, "Spell?" What kind of tricks would I use? "
The peach tree demon replied, "I don't care. In any case, you have to make me happy."
Shi Ling was speechless. After a moment of thought, he walked to the lake and said, "Alright, take a look."
The Peach Fairy nodded its head vigorously. Then, it saw Shi Ling spread out his arms. Then, a blue flame appeared on his left hand and a red flame appeared on his right.
As Shi Ling's hands jumped, he abruptly pressed the two flames together and continuously twisted his hands, as if he was pinching rubber mud. The Peach Blossom Demonic Beast scrutinized Shi Ling's hands.
The next moment, a flower bud appeared in Shi Ling's hands. Then, it slowly flew up in front of the peach tree demon and charged towards the lake. Then, it exploded on the surface of the lake.
A dazzling spark exploded, giving off the impression that a flaming flower had bloomed on the surface of a lake.
The peach tree demon immediately cried out in joy and said, "Wa, so beautiful, so beautiful! One more, one more!"
When Shi Ling heard this, he withdrew his hand and said, "Sister Peach, you've already said it before. You only asked me to play a trick on you and make you happy. Now that you're happy, you can let me go."
The smile on the peach tree demon's face froze when he heard this. He then turned his face to the side and said, "Who said I'm happy?"
Your head! You're not going to admit it after eating! Shi Ling had the urge to kill this tree demon, but knew that it wasn't realistic, so he said, "No, Sister Peach, we can't play like this. If you say you're unhappy after seeing one, won't I have to stay here forever?"
The peach tree nodded. "Okay, okay. It's good to just stay here. Look at the beautiful scenery here, isn't it great to not have any worries?" At least it's better than always fighting and killing outside, right? "
At this moment, Shi Ling sat down on his knees, and with a serious look on his face, he said, "Sister Peach, like I said, I need to leave now. I can't stay here any longer, but I can assure you that after a few days, I'll come and see you."
The peach tree demon instantly became angry and said, "I don't want to!"
Shi Ling said helplessly, "Then how are you going to let me leave?"
The peach tree demon turned his face to the side, looking like he was very angry and didn't want to pay any attention to him. Seeing this, Shi Ling smacked his head and felt his head grow bigger. He met a living ancestor.
However, at this moment, the peach tree demon said, "You can leave."
When Shi Ling heard this, he immediately perked up and stood up from his seat. He then looked at the Peach Tree Demon and asked, "Really?"
The peach tree demon continued, "But, you have to eat this peach."
As he spoke, the Peach Blossom Demonic Beast plucked a peach from his body and handed it over to Shi Ling. Shi Ling took a look at it and muttered in his heart, "Could this thing be poisonous?"
The peach tree demon immediately smacked a branch on Shi Ling's head. "What are you talking about?" Am I such a person? "
Then, he snorted and said, "Anyway, I've already given you the chance. It's up to you if you want to eat it or not."
After that, he stopped looking at Shi Ling. With the peach in his arms, Shi Ling hesitated before calling out to Bai Xiaosheng in his mind, "Hey, Bai Xiaosheng, do you have any problems with this peach?"
Bai Xiaosheng appeared by Shi Ling's side. Immediately, the vortex in his eyes appeared. After looking at the peach, he said, "There's no problem."
Only then did Shi Ling relax. However, Bai Xiaosheng continued, "However, after you eat this peach, you will have the scent of the peach tree demon on you. At that time, it will be able to find you no matter where you go."
After hearing this, Shi Ling's mouth gaped open, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say. Bai Xiaosheng said, "But you should eat, since you're going to enter the Spirit Sword Sect, I don't believe that it would dare to follow us back."
When Shi Ling heard this, he nodded his head and felt that it was true. Without any hesitation, he ate the peach. After he finished eating, he turned to the Peach Tree Demon and said, "Sister Peach Blossom, can I go back now?"
The peach tree demon pouted and said, "Scram!"
As he spoke, a tree branch directly sent Shi Ling flying.
Shi Ling landed on the shore and couldn't help but to rub his buttocks. He felt that the tree demon was really cruel, but at least he had gotten away from its claws. He immediately ran towards the open exit.
Upon seeing this scene, the Treant King felt infuriated. When she saw Shi Ling leave without even looking back, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Who am I? Am I that scary?"
In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the body of the peach tree demon, and when one looked over, they would notice that it was a young girl that wore a peach colored muslin dress.
The girl was slender and graceful, giving off a strange feeling. As she sat on the tree branch, she thought back to the scene when she and Shi Ling were together. She couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Shi Ling, is it?" I'll remember you! "
"..."
Soon, Shi Ling walked out of the canyon. As he walked, he rubbed his waist and said, "Oh my god, my waist is almost broken."
Bai Xiaosheng followed beside Shi Ling and said, "There's something strange about it."
Shi Ling tilted his head and said, "What?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "The words and actions of that peach tree demon just now didn't seem like an old monster that had lived for several thousand years at all. Rather, it looked a bit …"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Shi Ling, who interjected, "Do I look like a little girl?"
Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shi Ling in astonishment and said, "You noticed it long ago?"
With a sullen face, Shi Ling said, "I can tell even if I'm blind, I've been with her for such a long time."
Bai Xiaosheng suddenly laughed, "But no matter what, her cultivation of a thousand years is very real. If you encounter any trouble in the future, she might be a great help to you!"
At this moment, Shi Ling nodded.
However, right at this moment, Bai Xiaosheng was stunned. He looked forward and noticed the abnormality of Bai Xiaosheng. Shi Ling immediately followed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
When he saw the scene before his eyes, Shi Ling was also stunned. At that moment, what appeared before him were countless corpses of demonic beasts that had fallen to the ground. There were even many powerful demonic beasts, and the demonic cores within their bodies were still faintly discernible.
