Clearly Very Strong Yet Excessively Timid

The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...

Chapter 47: Little Tree Demon

With Wutong's help, Guimeng lived a pretty good life in every dream reincarnation. Although she always missed out on the love with the little demon Qiuqian, fortunately, she never suffered in terms of quality of life. For example, in this life's dream reincarnation, she was the famous Miss Meng in the demon world.

Unfortunately, Huiyu Town gradually declined. For hundreds of years, Wutong did not find the right person, so Guimeng and Qiuqian Xiaoyao had been torturing each other in the vicious circle of dream reincarnation. It was not until Mingluo and Ye Zhihan appeared that Wutong saw the hope of rewriting the dream cycle.

This is also the reason why Wutong was extremely excited when he saw in his dream that Mr. Qiu and Miss Meng, played by the two of them, were getting married. As long as Mingluo and Ye Zhihan completed the wedding and helped Qiu Qian Xiaoyao realize her wish, they would break the nightmare of Qiu Qian Xiaoyao and Gui Meng passing by each other in life after life but never being able to love each other.

In other words, with the help of Mingluo and Ye Zhihan, the little demon Qiuqian has finally been "resurrected".

Wutong was about to kneel down again to pay her respects to Mingluo and Ye Zhihan, but Mingluo quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Don't be polite. I didn't help much. You are the biggest contributor!"

Wutong looked at Mingluo with gratitude. She always felt that the girl in front of her was different from everyone else in the world.

"Please wait for a moment, my two benefactors. Lady Guimeng is helping Qiu Qianjia's soul return to its place. She will come out in person to express her gratitude in a while." Wutong continued.

"Wutong, just say thank you!" Mingluo grinned, with a cunning gleam in her eyes again. She glanced at Ye Zhihan, and the dimples on her lips looked particularly cute.

This one glance made Ye Zhihan realize that she had another trick up her sleeve.

"No need to thank me. I have just completed my cultivation. Can you teach me some survival skills?" Mingluo held Wutong's hand, his eyes full of expectation.

Wutong sensed the true energy in Mingluo's body and immediately became curious. This girl had extremely abundant spiritual power, but her realm seemed to be only at the first stage of Mingpo. She looked at Ye Zhihan who was standing tall beside Mingluo and thought to herself: Could it be that this young man has been helping Mingluo to absorb the true energy?

"Are you... a plum tree demon?" Wutong asked uncertainly. She really couldn't be sure what species Mingluo was. She could only smell a faint scent of plum blossoms on her.

Mingluo didn't want to reveal her human identity, so she nodded, thinking that the plum blossom clothes given by Elder Suma were really a top-grade magic weapon, which could also help her hide her human breath and disguise herself as a little tree demon.

"Since you and I are both tree demons, I have nothing to hide. What's more, you are our benefactor." Wutong replied to Mingluo with a happy expression. In fact, she was just a little tree demon who had just reached the fifth stage of Mingpo. There were many tree demons with low status. As they were of the same kind, they naturally had to help each other.

So Wutong bowed slightly to Ye Zhihan, then pulled Mingluo aside to study the tree demon's skills and techniques.

After Wutong introduced Mingluo to various techniques and skills, she discovered that the tree demon's abilities were primarily defensive and exploratory, not particularly offensive. This perfectly aligned with her philosophy of self-preservation in the otherworld. Furthermore, Wutong mysteriously revealed that in her dream cycle, Master Qiu's bride was a tree branch puppet she had crafted.

"You are so awesome!" Mingluo's eyes sparkled, and he immediately looked at Wutong with new respect.

Wutong shyly said that she was always with Guimeng, and sometimes she had nothing to do, so she would weave branches for fun. As she weaved, she awakened the ability to make branch puppets.

Ming Luo's eyes lit up, she seemed to know some method to advance quickly.

After making a brief choice, Mingluo happily learned the skills Wutong taught her. Because there was a golden lion in her sea of ​​consciousness, Mingluo made rapid progress in mastering the techniques and skills. Her super fast learning speed surprised Wutong and she praised her repeatedly. She exclaimed that it would not be enough to teach Mingluo everything she had learned in her life.

After a brief practice, Ming Luo decided not to tell Ye Zhihan what she had learned yet, but to wait for an opportunity to give him a surprise.

Just when Mingluo was happily thinking about how to show Ye Zhihan the results of his study, Gui Meng appeared.

Ming Luo trotted to Ye Zhihan and looked at Gui Meng with a harmless expression.

Gui Meng's appearance is very similar to the scene seen in Wutong's sea of ​​memories. She is dressed in red and has delicate features, but her expression is cold and she exudes a sense of distance that keeps strangers away.

Mingluo felt this feeling was particularly familiar; Ye Zhihan also had this icy, solemn aura. It was just that Gui Meng looked extremely weak now. Su Fang's lips, once rosy, now looked pale and exhausted.

"I will give this thing to you two. If you encounter any difficulties, just put it under your pillow and sleep." Gui Meng did not say any words of thanks, but directly put an ordinary little stone in Ming Luo's hand, as if he would not accept it.

Ming Luo accepted the small stone very happily. After all, it was a gift from the boss, and it might come in handy someday.

When Wutong saw the small stone, her eyes immediately lit up as she stared at it. She excitedly said to Mingluo, "This is the Dream Stone. With this stone, no matter where you are, you can enter your dreams and find Master Guimeng!"

Ming Luo looked at the small stone in his hand repeatedly in disbelief, because it really didn't look special, so Ming Luo was afraid that he would lose it and never find it again, so he used the tree demon ability he had just learned, and used the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree to weave a thin rope with a net bag. He put the small stone in the net bag and hung it around his neck, and hid it in his clothes, looking like a treasure.

Then she looked at Ye Zhihan with a sharp gaze, with a mischievous look as if she was seeking credit, her face full of excitement about mastering a new skill. However, this was only the tip of the iceberg of the skills she had learned. In the future, she would definitely find an opportunity to teach Ye Zhihan a lesson.

Ye Zhihan saw Mingluo looking at him with burning eyes again, and suddenly his mind was filled with the scene of their wedding. He secretly made up his mind that after meeting Mingluo's parents to decide on the marriage, he must hold a grand wedding for Mingluo.

Seeing her cherishing the little stone he had given her, the ghost's tired mood didn't seem so bad. She had gone through so much hardship in the dream, and her thoughts were restless for a while. She slowly walked to the sycamore tree and sat down gracefully to rest.

Now the question that Ming Luo is most curious about is whether Gui Meng will be with Qiu Qian Xiao Yao. There is a huge difference in strength and class between them, but they have been with each other for many years, and have been in a tormented love relationship time and time again in the dream cycle. Now that Qiu Qian Xiao Yao has been resurrected with great difficulty, will they really be together?

Gui Meng seemed to have noticed Ming Luo's inquiring gaze. As an ice beauty, she did not dislike it. Instead, she smiled slightly and said to herself: "What is before our eyes is eternity. He and I have missed so many lifetimes, and we will not have any regrets again."

Wutong happily pulled Mingluo aside and said that Lord Guimeng had become much gentler after coming out of the dream cycle, and Guimeng had decided to make an exception and accept Wutong and Qiuqian Xiaoyao as his disciples. From now on, the three of them would trust each other and never separate again, and would live together in a place where no one could find them.
