52. The Extravagant Escape

The faint glow of the sun reflected on the surface of the lake, the breeze blew, the microwave rippled, and a few dragonflies flapped their wings and swept rapidly across the lake.

A thick branch stretched out obliquely from the lake, Ye Xuan sat on the tree barefoot, holding a pomegranate in her hand, peeling a few and throwing them into her mouth, then pouting her mouth and spitting the seeds into the water. A group of small fish chased after the pomegranate seeds, stirring up the water of the lake for a while, and then rippling out in a circle.

"Leaves...... Ye Zi ......" Mingchen ran over from afar, clasped his hands to his lips and looked around while shouting, "Ye Zi...... Where are you? Mrs. Shi asked you to go to Cijing Hall to practice. ”

Ye Xuan stuffed the uneaten pomegranate into her arms, neatly climbed the branch above her head, and rushed up with a little force. Remembering that his shoes were still under the tree, he quickly jumped back to the thick branch, hanging upside down like a monkey, reached out and scooped up his shoes, and then straightened his waist, and before Mingchen turned to look at the lake, he once again jumped up to the dense canopy of branches and leaves, and pressed his body tightly against the tree pole.

Mingchen stood by the lake with his waist crossed and turned around, his cheeks bulging, and after scolding, "Where is this dead girl hiding and lazy", he stomped his feet and ran to find it somewhere else.

Ye Xuan crouched on the tree, covered her mouth and sneered twice, and was about to slide down the tree pole, when a very light sneer suddenly came from her ear, which was simply the echo of her two laughs. She was startled, her hairs exploded, and she held the tree pole with both hands and didn't dare to move.

After a while, there was silence all around, and she began to suspect that she had misheard, and she couldn't help but exhale, but as soon as she moved, the laughter rang out very softly, ghostly, and blew softly in her ear. In the end, she is a little girl who has never seen the world, Ye Xuan screamed, holding her head with both hands, and only relying on her legs to circle the tree pole to prevent her body from falling, "Who ...... No, is it a human or a ghost? ”

The voice that didn't know if it was a human or a ghost whispered in her ear: "No, I'm a tree spirit, I said you are a little girl, why are you holding me in broad daylight?" ”

Treant ...... Ye Xuan's legs were weak, and she almost didn't fall off the tree. The dryad graciously grabbed her waistcoat and lifted her down on a broken branch. Ye Xuan's buttocks sat firmly, and she held her head with both hands and didn't dare to open her eyes.

The tree spirit sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, this tree spirit doesn't eat the little girl's." This tree spirit only appears once in a thousand years, little girl, you are lucky, anyone who has seen the real body of this tree spirit......"

He paused and didn't say anything, Ye Xuan waited for a while and didn't wait for the next step, he forcibly pressed the thumping little liver, and looked out from the gap between his fingers with his eyes half-squinted. I saw a man dressed in white who was sitting idly on the tree pole opposite her, looking at her with a smile.

She couldn't help but be stunned, this tree spirit didn't have the terrifying pockmarked face she imagined, and it looked surprisingly good-looking. She grew up in Wubarren Mountain since she was a child, although she has never seen a few serious men, but she has always thought that the handsome men mentioned in the play book must be Yili that kind of look.

But the tree spirit in front of her completely subverted her limited imagination, she couldn't tell what he looked like, but she just thought he was very handsome, and he had a kind of ...... The wild beauty is a bit like the wolf she once bumped into when she dragged Mingchen to the back mountain to dig for a hedgehog in the middle of the night.

She quickly came to the conclusion in her heart, this is an extremely high cultivation tree spirit, which is why she has such a face that has brought disaster to the country and the people. She opened her fingers tremblingly, "You...... Really don't eat people? ”

The tree spirit laughed twice, "I only said that I don't eat little girls, but I didn't say that I don't eat people." His face changed in vain, and he made a hideous appearance, "I eat the wicked, and ...... A disobedient little girl. ”

She hurriedly covered her face with her hand that she put down, and the tree spirit smiled again, and said, "Don't worry, if you are obedient, I won't eat you." ”

Ye Xuan put her mind at ease a little, thought about it, and asked again: "You just said...... What happened to all the people who have seen you in real life? ”

Dryad: "They're all dead." ”

Ye Xuan: "......"

The tree spirit looked disdainful, as if he had never seen such a stupid person, "I just said, this tree spirit only appears once in a thousand years, a thousand years...... People who have seen me have died of old age. ”

Ye Xuan: "......"

Ye Xuan added another conclusion in her heart, this is a tree spirit with extremely high cultivation and at the same time loves to talk nonsense. She suddenly regretted that she had just hid and run away from Ming Chenqi. She snorted a few times and hesitated, "Lord Treant, it's time for me to go back." ”

Hearing that she was leaving, the tree spirit frowned, and his fierce expression was revealed, "This tree spirit has not allowed you to leave, let me ask you, what is your name?" How old are you this year? Are parents alive? ”

Seeing that his face was unhappy, she was shocked for a moment, and replied without thinking about it: "I, my name is Ye Zi, I am thirteen this year, and I have no father and no mother." ”

The dryad's face looked a little better, and he said to himself, "Thirteen...... I guess that's the age. He glanced at her, and the little girl of thirteen, delicate and lovely, with fleshy cheeks and two blush on her cheeks, and her eyes were large and attentive, and she was looking at herself timidly.

He couldn't help but smile, "Hey, I'm just like you, without a father or a mother, you don't have to be afraid of me." ”

Ye Xuan thought to herself, you are a tree spirit, of course you have no father and no mother, why do you deliberately say this and be close to her. She was hesitating to find an excuse to leave, when she suddenly heard Yili calling her name not far away.

It was a heavenly sound, and she was overjoyed, and she jumped up from the tree and landed lightly to the ground. But when I landed, I realized that I forgot to wear my shoes, and the soles of my feet were suddenly pierced by small stones. But she was afraid that something would happen again, so she endured the pain and jumped towards Yili, "Yili, Yili...... I'm here......"

The shoes snapped to the ground, and the dryads laughed and fell from the trees.

Yili grabbed Ye Xuan from himself as if he was catching a chicken, "Look at you, wild monkeys are running all over the mountain, what has become of?" Put your shoes on. Hey, junior brother, you're here too? ”

Bro? Ye Xuan put on her shoes and aimed at the tree spirit. I saw that the tree spirit changed his face, and he looked at Yili seriously, "An Yi has seen my senior brother." ”

When he straightened up, he inadvertently winked at Ye Xuan, startled Ye Xuan, hurriedly hid behind Yili, and stretched out half of his head to look at him.

Yili patted her with his backhand and carried her to the front again, "Nonsense, be serious." This is a newly recruited disciple of the Du Fang Battle, you can call him Senior Brother An. ”

An Yi was very generous and didn't care about her, and took the initiative to say: "An Yi has seen Little Sister Ye. ”

Ye Xuan knew that she had just been deceived, puffed out her cheeks and glared at him fiercely, then made a grimace and ran away without looking back.
