Dan Taiyuan was expressionless and an unfeeling god. “The legend of the heavenly sacred tree says that it can grow all things and pass through heaven and earth.”
Its description seemed impressive, and Lou Qianxue pondered. “Can I take it away?”
“… ” Dan Taiyuan just silently glanced at her.
Lou Qianxue also knew how silly it was to carry a tree. However, she had been serious with that statement even though she did not know what was in that tree that kept beckoning her…
Should I go over first and try to touch it?
Lou Qianxue walked forward.
However, she had just raised her leg when her slender wrist was held back.
Lou Qianxue turned around and looked at Dan Taiyuan.
“It’s dangerous.”
When she heard that, Lou Qianxue gave him a surprised look. She then responded, “You are referring to the demonic beast?”
When they were outside, Dan Taiyuan had mentioned that there along with the herbs, demonic beasts also resided here. She had forgotten about it. Moreover, the demonic beasts guarding the rare elixirs would generally be more powerful. It was just that she had gathered so many elixirs without facing any beast.
“Yeah.” Dan Taiyuan replied. His icy cold gaze glared at the surface of the lake.
Lou Qianxue followed his gaze and looked over. She saw the silent waterhole suddenly make a crackling sound and bubble. The water in the lake had been boiled within a short period.
The next moment…
Splash!
A sturdy black shadow emerged from the water. Before Lou Qianxue could see it, someone carried her by her waist and retreated a few feet away.
A chilly aura spread from the water in the lake to the surroundings. The cold white frost spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A thin layer of ice also covered Lou Qianxue’s eyebrows, and she felt so cold that her whole body shivered.
Her cultivation of the seventh level of the spiritual realm was useless at this moment!
“Go!” Lou Qianxue’s voice trembled, and her teeth clattered. Even without exchanging blows, she already knew it was absolutely impossible for her to be an opponent of that demonic beast.
Dan Taiyuan carried her, turned around, and walked toward the cave exit. However…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The branches and leaves on the cave wall that were shimmering with green light seemed to instantly awaken. They shook one after another. The branches stretched out.
The moist and soft branches were extremely skillful. They had a clear target. In the blink of an eye, they had entangled Lou Qianxue’s ankles.
Dan Taiyuan could sense it, and he stopped.
Lou Qianxue broke out in cold sweat. She lowered her head and saw her ankles being tangled up by the branches. It brought her on the verge of tears. “What should I do?”
The heavenly sacred tree had clung onto her, but she could not defeat the demonic beast at the bottom of the lake…
Dan Taiyuan put her down. He made an expression as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Lou Qianxue bit her teeth. “Brother Taiyuan, will you be able to help?”
Dan Taiyuan looked at her with a deadpan face.
She looked back at him.
Suddenly, he stretched his hand out without warning and touched the soft and fair peaks below her neckline. He even pinched them a few times, and it made her face blush and her heart beat fast.
The feeling was extremely strong.
Lou Qianxue was stunned at first. She then became furious and ashamed. “Who asked you to help like this!”
However, Luo Qianxue suddenly remembered that when she had fallen off the cliff and hit his body, she had begged him for help as she was unable to deal with the effects of the medicine…
But the effects of the medicine had long since dispersed. In what way did she need help in that area!
When Lou Qianxue made a rebuke, Dan Taiyuan stopped and turned his head sideways. He proceeded to ignore her.
The branches around her ankles became more outrageous. They were no longer satisfied with just retraining both her feet and started to climb up her calves. Lou Qianxue was somewhat flustered. “Dan Taiyuan, I’m asking help regarding this demonic beast.”
