"I am already very grateful that you helped me deal with the Fengxi beast," the big mulberry tree said, its leaves swaying as if it were laughing. "I am just a tree, how could I have so many wishes?"

The faces of the group flushed. This old mulberry tree had weathered countless years and had long since become indifferent to worldly affairs, displaying a noble and virtuous character, unlike the calculating people around them.

Zu An was somewhat lost in thought. Why did that sentence sound so familiar? The guy Huo Shu Yin Hua, whom he had met in the Yu family mine, seemed to have used a similar tone. Could that guy be a descendant of this big mulberry tree?

However, recalling the dazzling display of lights and fireworks, it had absolutely nothing to do with the large mulberry tree in front of me, so it seems I was just overthinking it.

After thanking the tree repeatedly and bidding farewell to it, the group finally left the seemingly endless mulberry forest, following its guidance.

"Xiao Anzi, were you watching carefully just now?" Yun Jianyue quietly asked Zu An when she found an opportunity.

"Of course, I didn't even blink. Sister Yun is absolutely stunning..." Zu An knew exactly what she was asking and showered her with compliments.

Of course, this was his honest opinion. The scene just now was indeed beautiful. He never expected that the usually fierce leader of the demonic sect would have such a gentle and alluring side.

"That's all you could think of at the time?" Yun Jianyue asked with a half-smile, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Zuan's face flushed, and he frankly admitted, "At that time, many blasphemous thoughts about Sister Yun flashed through my mind. I deserve to die..."

"Are you trying to kill me?!" Yun Jianyue had only intended to tease him a little, but he was so direct that it made her feel awkward. She quickly put on a stern face and said, "I am Hong Lei's master. Don't think about those things. This is a one-time exception!"

Seeing that her anger level remained unchanged, Zuan knew she wasn't angry and couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder who did this to me."

"What did you say?" Yun Jianyue's phoenix eyes were filled with danger.

"Ahem, I mean, my sister's Heavenly Demon Dance and Heavenly Demon Sound are too powerful, making people's brains unable to control themselves, leaving only instinctive reactions, so it's not my fault," Zu An said, feeling aggrieved.

"I didn't blame you." Yun Jianyue was quite satisfied with his reaction, and it was worth it for her to have treasured this thing for so many years.

“By the way,” Zuan suddenly said with a strange expression, “you were changing clothes in the woods earlier?”

Wouldn't that mean that old mulberry tree would have seen everything?

It was perfectly normal, but who knew that the old mulberry tree had its own consciousness?

Yun Jianyue, a man of great stature, had been immersed in the Demonic Sect for a long time and immediately realized what he was thinking. His face flushed, and he spat out, "What are you thinking, you brat? For people of our cultivation level, changing clothes and using magic to conceal ourselves is basic practice. We're just trying to avoid scoundrels like you."

“How did I become a villain?” Zuan said indignantly. “Why don’t you find an opportunity to jump for me alone next time? With other people around, you can’t fully immerse yourself in the performance.”

"roll!"

Okay~

Yan Xuehen had actually noticed them whispering to each other a while ago. She originally wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but seeing how well the two of them were getting along, she couldn't hold back any longer: "What are you talking about?"

"What's it to you?" Yun Jianyue felt a little guilty, but she reacted quickly.

"you!"

Anger from Yan Xuehen: +122 +122 +122...

Zuan was a little annoyed. "You were choked by Yun Jianyue, why are you angry with me?"

He had no choice but to say, "We were just discussing the therapeutic effects of the leaves that the old mulberry tree gave us."

Yan Xuehen was taken aback, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, realizing that she had misunderstood them. She quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "That leaf is indeed amazing. I've noticed that my old injuries are showing signs of healing. If this continues, I should be able to recover 90% of my peak strength in a short time."

You know, with such severe injuries, it would normally take at least ten or eight years to recover. This time, they first recovered quite a bit at the Feather Mountain Spirit Spring, and now, with the blessing of these mulberry leaves, they are almost fully healed. It's still hard to believe when I think about it now.

"If it weren't for the flaws in the laws of this world, that giant mulberry tree would probably have already cultivated into a spirit, and the legendary ascension to immortality would not have been impossible," Yun Jianyue couldn't help but sigh.

The group chatted as they walked, and soon a layer of white mist appeared ahead, the ground beneath their feet became soft, and there were puddles everywhere.

After walking for a while, Zu'an, who was walking in front, almost sank into the lake with one foot. He quickly stopped and said, "This should be the Dongting Lake where Xiu She is."

I wonder what connection it has with Dongting Lake in my past life?

However, the scenery before me was nothing like the Dongting Lake I remembered.

Yu Yanluo looked at the thick fog around her and said, "This must be miasma. Thanks to the leaves of that big mulberry tree, I don't feel anything unusual at all."

“This miasma is indeed poisonous,” Yun Jianyue sniffed lightly, “and the poison probably increases the deeper you go in.”

"With the protection of those mulberry leaves, these miasmas are nothing to fear. But we need to be careful of the legendary Xiu Snake. It hides in this swamp, and it could be very dangerous if it attacks suddenly," Yu Yanluo said with some worry.

"It's alright. The demoness and I have recovered a lot of strength now, so we are not afraid even if we encounter the Xiu Snake. What we are most worried about is that if it hides in this swamp and does not come out, it will be really difficult for us to find it," Yan Xuehen said.

Having already suffered enough from searching for the Yayu and Fengxi twice, I really don't want to go through this vast swamp again.

Zaun initially thought the swamp was a place of silt where people would sink in and be unable to get out once they stepped in.
