Chapter 1271 She's quite generous

Three days ago.

Song Chunxue frowned. So early?

Almost as soon as she arrived, that person ordered the mountain spirits and monsters in the vicinity to keep an eye on her.

"Let's go, lead the way."

"good."

Because of the pain, the man in black in front of me limped, and even in his phantom form, there were faint red marks on his body, as if his wounds were dripping blood.

Song Chunxue said irritably, "Aren't you going to bandage the wound? Wouldn't it be better to just sprinkle some dirt on it?"

"Don't scatter soil on it, it will heal on its own, no rush." ​​The man floated slowly ahead. "I'm in pain, so it might be a little slow."

"No rush, I'm not in a hurry to do anything."

About half an hour later, Song Chunxue arrived at the tree demon's territory.

This is a cliff edge deep in a ditch, carved out by a flash flood. It is a willow tree that has been rooted for hundreds of years, but its cultivation is not very profound.

There aren't many mountain spirits in this area, and most of them are nothing to fear. When they saw the willow tree spirit was injured, they screamed and hid in the cave.

In the past, Song Chunxue dared not go into the cave to look inside, nor could she imagine what was inside.

Now that I've seen it, I feel that if I come across a cave like this in the future, I might go inside and find some treasures.

For example, the strange stone that those stubborn donkeys discovered last time.

After searching around, there was nothing special about it, and it was even a bit desolate. Their caves looked strangely simple, without even a decent piece of furniture.

"Why didn't you make the hole above bigger? It's too dark, doesn't it feel dark?"

A round, chubby toad replied in a hoarse voice, “The cave entrance is too big. Those goats that like to walk on cliffs will fall down. Last time, a goat lamb fell down, which scared us so much that we had to hide everything. Because that shepherd boy is a fool, he actually ran down and rescued the goat lamb. We had to fight him to catch him.”

Wuyou floated around for a moment, then said, "Oh, how pitiful. You're so poor you don't even have a decent stool. Aren't there so many trees? Why don't you cut one down?"

The injured willow tree spirit whispered, "We're all the same kind, why kill each other? I can't afford the things that others have ready-made."

"You didn't steal some silver, or find gold or something on the beach?"

The willow tree spirit removed its mask, revealing an ordinary face with gray eyes. Although young, its expression was that of an old man.

"Gold isn't so easy to find. Even if we were lucky enough to find a lentil-sized one, that would have been a hundred years ago. We traded some things to sustain ourselves for so many years."

He leaned against the earthen wall and whispered, "Stealing is shameful, so unless it was thrown away, we won't take it without asking."

I didn't realize these demons were so particular.

Song Chunxue took out two silver ingots from her bosom. "Here, go to the street and buy some furniture."

The man hesitated for a moment, then hesitated to accept.

He stammered, "I ambushed you, and you... you still give me money? I feel ashamed to accept it."

"I'm not just a pushover. If anything unusual happens next time, remember to let me know. In other words, I want you to be a double agent and my informant. Next time, try to find out who that person is, what they're wearing, what their voice sounds like, and tell me everything."

"Quickly, don't hesitate, leave this to me. Last time I saw him, his fingers were very long, and he was wearing a jade ring on his middle finger, it was blood red."

The toad was as big as a washbasin and hadn't yet transformed into human form. When it spoke, Song Chunxue felt a chill run down her spine.

Thankfully, it wasn't him who ambushed her, otherwise she would have been terrified, probably screaming and completely losing her composure.

She tried her best not to look at his face.

"Hmm, anything else?" She interrogated him again, then went outside the cave to check the surroundings, thinking that she wouldn't get lost next time she came, and secretly made a mark.

“That’s all,” the willow tree spirit said. “From now on, you can call me Master Willow.”

"Master Liu?" Song Chunxue laughed. "Is that what they all call you?"

He touched his philtrum sheepishly and said, "Hmm."

"I'll call you Xiaoliu."

“Alright.” He didn’t refuse, stood up and looked around. “You mortals entertain guests with tea, right? I don’t have anything special to offer, please excuse my poor presentation.”

"Don't you know there's a white fairy in the cave over there?"

“I know, but he doesn’t want to associate with me. I know he has a key to his formation that allows him to go anywhere he wants,” Xiao Liu said dejectedly. “I may have to continue cultivating for several hundred more years before I’m not turned away.”

She stood outside the cave and saw a naked boy squatting on the opposite slope playing in the mud, so she quickly looked away.

"Is that kid over there one of your group? Why isn't he wearing any clothes?"

Xiao Liu lowered her head awkwardly, "He has just gained sentience, has no sense of shame, and doesn't like wearing clothes. Even if he wears them, he will secretly take them off and throw them away."

Ugh, it's an eyesore, an eyesore indeed.

Song Chunxue didn't want to stay any longer. "I'll take my leave now. If you have any news to share later, or if you want anything, you can bring something of value to exchange with me."

“That’s right, she’s quite generous.” Wuyou came down from the mountain. “Let’s go, this place is too poor. The old man has picked up all the donkey dung on the road. We’ve met quite a few children digging for wild vegetables.”

"Take me to see him, and give him some food." Song Chunxue tossed a bottle of medicine to Xiaoliu. "Until we meet again."

"Wait, I suddenly remembered something I need to tell you." Xiao Liu handed over a talisman. "He...he told me to find a chance to stick it on you."

P.S.: Aren't you going to praise me?
