I rose through the ranks in the world of cultivation by working part-time

Chapter 17 Encountering a strange tree with a human face (2)

"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've tasted such a tender and delicious little girl, quack quack, I guess the taste must be wonderful!"

Its laughter was rough and eerie, making Tang Tang feel sick.

But he couldn't hit it with thunder beads. After all, "Luo Xuezhi" was still blocking it. It would be bad if it accidentally hurt her.

Tang Tang stamped his feet anxiously and watched helplessly as the strange human-faced tree stretched out several vine tentacles and quickly wrapped around "Luo Xuezhi" in front of him.

At this moment, within the illusion.

Luo Yi looked at the scene in front of him coldly, with no expression on his handsome face.

"You bastard, are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will chop you with a knife."

"Do you think your uncle will still care about you? Yesterday, the Presbyterian Council decided to expel you from the family immediately."

"You're just an illegitimate child born with a demon. So what if you have the best talent for cultivating immortals? A demon is a demon, and you can never change your dirty bloodline!"

"That's right, that's right, if you tell your secret now, we can spare your life. If you don't tell it, we will take your life now."

Luo Yi looked at the little boy on the ground coldly.

He looked at the profound scars on his body, looked at the family elders around him who kept insulting and accusing him, looked at his sister who was sitting next to him and was crying, and his mother who looked desperate.

At that moment, all the unbearable memories came to him like a tide, and the feeling of suffocation seemed to threaten to swallow him up at any time.

It's very uncomfortable, very hopeless, very painful.

But, is that all?Is this the only way it can be done?

Ah……

"elder sister!!!"

Outside the illusion, looking at "Luo Xuezhi" who was motionless, Tang Tang couldn't help but yell.

But no matter how she shouted, "Luo Xuezhi" didn't respond at all. It seemed that she had fallen into the illusion created by the human-faced tree for her.

"Here comes another little girl, hahaha, not bad, not bad, come on, be eaten by me and become my nourishment, hahahahahaha"

The proud laughter echoed in the dense forest.

Tang Tang wished he could blow its head off.

No, we must not let it succeed. Tang Tang clenched his fists.

The next second, Tang Tang jumped directly on "Luo Xuezhi" without hesitation.

"Qiuqiu, invincible golden amulet, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Countless vines stabbed at Tang Tang who was blocking Luo Yi.

The next second, Luo Yi in the illusion slightly raised the corners of his lips, with an extremely sarcastic smile on his face.

Then he raised his right hand slightly, spread his fingers, and gave it a firm squeeze.

"boom--"

The illusion shattered, and the terrifying human-faced tree suddenly let out a miserable howl.

Immediately, the sharp thorns that were about to pierce the body instantly turned into powder under Tang Tang's disbelieving eyes.

Tang Tang, who was originally prepared to accept the death test again:...

Is this the end?

No, she didn't even see clearly how "Luo Xuezhi" moved. Why did the tree suddenly turn into powder?
So why is she making such a big show of getting an invincible golden amulet?
It’s simply superfluous!What a waste!What a waste of natural resources!

Tang Tang felt like he had turned into a pufferfish and was about to explode in anger!
The invincible golden amulet is really expensive... "Master, the invincible golden amulet has not been used yet. Because you have not been harmed, it has not been activated. Don't be sad!"

Sensing her emotions, Xiao Xueqiu immediately comforted her.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang immediately took away the paw covering his little face.

"Really?"

"Exactly!"

that is really good!
When Tang Tang heard this, he immediately laughed out loud in his mind.

She felt that she would have to re-examine her sister's strength in the future.

Until the critical moment, she has to choose to believe in her sister!Never take action!
Hahahaha, she won’t say it’s because her family background is too thin and she can’t withstand the crisis!

Tang Tang turned his head, grabbed Luo Xuezhi's sleeve, and said with fear on his face.

"Sister, luckily you woke up in time just now, otherwise we would be in trouble."

Tang Tang stuck out her tongue and started to praise her sister.

"Sister, what was that move just now? God, it's so cool. Can I learn it in the future? Can you teach me?
She blinked her big grape eyes, her face full of admiration.

Luo Yi glanced at her with a complicated expression and swallowed the words that she was not controlled at all.

He just saw his mother whom he hadn't seen for many years in the fantasy world and wanted to stay a little longer.

He was sober throughout.

But why does this little girl choose to stand in front of him every time he is in danger? Is she really not afraid of death?
And, is he really worthy of her doing this?
Luo Yi raised his hand and touched her little head.

No matter what the little girl's real purpose was for approaching him, at this moment, Luo Yi's long-frozen heart had melted a corner.

Luo Yi sighed slightly, lowered his head and gave her a hug.

"You don't need to learn it, and it's not necessary."

Because in the future, I will protect you just like you protect me.

Until you discover my half-human, half-demon identity, and leave me in fear and disgust like everyone else.

Luo Yi's long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up a hint of vulnerability and sadness in her eyes.

I just hope that this day comes later.

Tang Tang didn't know what Luo Yi was thinking at this moment, and thought that Luo Yi was unwilling to teach her this powerful move.

She graciously expressed her understanding.

"Okay then, don't learn if you don't want to learn. I know you have a lot of rules here. For example, secret techniques are not taught to outsiders, and are passed on to men but not to women..."

Luo Yi: A chicken and a duck can only talk about this...

Luo Yi turned around and left.

When Tang Tang saw this, he immediately followed.

"Hey, sister, wait for me, sister..."

Luo Yi: Sister, what a fart! Sister! !He hates this title! !
Tang Tang looked at "Luo Xuezhi" who was getting faster and faster, and didn't understand why her sister was so angry with her.

She followed quickly with her little short legs.

Two figures, one big and one small, one tall and one short, quickly walked away.

The white moonlight shone on them, stretching the shadows of the two people very long, and then blending together, as if they were holding hands.
