Chapter 38 Quickly Kill the Tree Demon Granny!

Lanruo Temple remains desolate and dilapidated, overgrown with weeds.

In the courtyard, withered vines entwine old trees; inside the house, broken tiles pile up on broken beams.

In the distance, a sinister aura emanates; up close, a ghostly atmosphere pervades.

It truly is a place where evil spirits gather and where ghosts and monsters roam!

Xu Xian and his two companions concealed their cultivation levels and stepped into the temple.

"Is there a master present?"

"We'll stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning."

"I apologize for any inconvenience caused."

Xu Xian and the other two said a few words in a loud voice, and then stepped into the main hall.

Xiaoqing moved the broken beam, and Xu Xian moved the shattered tiles.

Bai Suzhen then tidied up a clean area, laid out a felt rug and bedding, and went to the courtyard to start a fire and cook.

Soon after, smoke began to rise from the chimney.

Xu Xian and Xiao Qing sat in the room, chatting quietly.

Xiaoqing sensed her surroundings and nodded, saying, "There are indeed demons here, but I don't know where they are. By the way, how did you know?"

Xu Xian pointed to his head with his finger, while showing a disdainful expression: "Read more books."

Xiaoqing glared at Xu Xian and then went to help her sister.

A moment later, the aroma of wine and food wafted through the courtyard.

Xiaoqing set up the stone table, and Bai Suzhen laid out a table full of wine and food.

The three of them enjoyed the meal together.

Xu Xian said, "My wife's cooking is still as good as ever."

Bai Suzhen blushed and said, "My lord, you flatter me."

Xiaoqing was still furious: "Hmph, you don't do anything, of course you think it tastes good!"

Yan Chixia then said, "The food is delicious, and the wine is invigorating."

"..."

There was a moment of silence before the stone table, then Xu Xian spoke first: "Who are you? When did you arrive?"

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing had naturally discovered Yan Chixia's presence long ago, and were inwardly impressed by the Taoist's remarkable cultivation.

However, since they were presenting themselves as mortals at this moment, they also showed surprise.

"Who...who are you?"

Yan Chixia did not answer.

He took a sip of wine, ate a piece of meat, and after a while wiped his mouth with his sleeve before speaking: "My name is Yan Chixia, and I am a member of the Daoist sect. Once you have finished your meal, please leave quickly."

Xu Xian looked puzzled and said, "We only want to stay for one night and will not disturb you, Daoist."

Yan Chixia slammed his hand on the stone table, his tone becoming stern: "If we don't leave now, our lives will be in danger at any moment!"

"What makes you say that?"

Seeing that the three showed no intention of leaving, Yan Chixia remained silent for a moment, then suddenly made a face and roared, "There are ghosts and demons here! If you don't leave, they'll rip out your hearts and lungs tonight!"

After saying this, Yan Chixia left on his own.

As the saying goes, good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost.

He said all he had to say; if the three remained obstinate, that was their fate.

After Yan Chixia left, Bai Suzhen cleaned up the dishes and returned to the main hall.

"My lord, that Taoist priest is quite powerful."

Xu Xian, with his arm around Bai Suzhen's slender waist, teased, "What, are you even better than my wife?"

As Bai Suzhen spent more and more time with Xu Xian, she gradually became influenced by his unreliable personality.

Seeing Xu Xian flirting with her, Bai Suzhen actually raised her eyebrows and said with considerable pride, "Naturally, he can't compare to me!"

"That's good!"

Xu Xian looked around and whispered, "There are indeed ghosts here, bewitching men to devour their internal organs. There's also an extremely powerful old tree demon that has harmed countless people!"

Bai Suzhen touched the hairpin in her hair, her eyes gleaming with golden light: "I can sense an extremely strong demonic aura, but I can't tell which tree is the demon."

"The tree spirit is cautious and possesses the ability to teleport. Tonight I will lure it out, and then I request that you, my lady, take action! By the way, please allow me to kill it."

Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "Okay!"

Xiaoqing looked at Xu Xian with a sinister gaze: "You lured her out...you're not planning to have some fun with a female ghost, are you?"

"What are you thinking?! I'm not interested in female ghosts like Xiaowen or Xiaoqian!"

Xu Xian stormed off, looking rather guilty.

After a short while, he re-entered the main hall.

"What, aren't you going to find your female ghost anymore?"

Xu Xian, his face dark, said, "You two go sleep outside, I'll sleep here!"

Xiaoqing glanced at the bedding laid out in the main hall, then at the already darkening sky, and angrily said, "Hey, don't push your luck..."

"I already said I wanted to lure out the demons and ghosts. Do you two think you can attract a female ghost? Not to mention you're countless times more beautiful than any female ghost, just your cultivation levels alone would terrify her!"

"..."

The two men blushed slightly at Xu Xian's words, and even Xiaoqing, unusually, didn't object: "Okay, fine, you can sleep in the room then. We'll go to the boat!"

Bai Suzhen bowed to Xu Xian, and then Xiaoqing pulled her away.

Xu Xian lay in the bedding, pretending to be asleep.

midnight.

Suddenly a cold wind arose, accompanied by a sweet and cloying fragrance, making the windows rattle.

Xu Xian stood up groggily, rubbing his eyes as he went to close the window.

With the window half closed, a pink ribbon drifted into the main hall.

Another woman rushed forward, pressed herself against Xu Xian's body, and began to weep.

Xu Xian looked down and saw that the woman's clothes were disheveled and her soft body was half exposed.

Her body, as smooth and delicate as jade, was boneless and frail; her weeping face was alluring to all.

It was Nie Xiaoqian!

Xu Xian quickly pushed Nie Xiaoqian away and said, "Please have some self-respect, young lady!"

Xiaoqian would naturally not give up.

She wrapped her arms around Xu Xian's neck, her eyes filled with tears and affection: "I'm so cold, please help me, young master~"

Xu Xian forcibly looked away: "How...how can I help you?"

Nie Xiaoqian sighed inwardly, but on the surface she still maintained her alluring appearance.

With a gentle breath, Xu Xian felt his legs go weak and he collapsed onto the bedding.

Nie Xiaoqian also pretended to fall down, pressing down on Xu Xian, their lips only half an inch apart.

For a moment, the atmosphere was incredibly ambiguous.

Xu Xian suppressed his inner rage while simultaneously calculating the time aloud.

According to the plot, the Tree Demon Granny should have already made some moves at this point.

If Bai Qing and his companion were perceptive enough, they might have already discovered some clues.

If they could hold out for just another quarter of an hour, Bai Qing and his companion would be able to kill the tree demon.

If they come in and see me and Nie Xiaoqian in such an ambiguous state, I'll inevitably be nagged.

Because he was using his mortal strength to support Nie Xiaoqian, he said, "Please have some self-respect, young lady. I can give you this bedding."

Nie Xiaoqian was clever and naturally wouldn't fall for that.

She whispered a fragrant breeze in Xu Xian's ear, her voice alluring to the core: "Your body is still warmer, so please, sir, do me the favor and help Xiaoqian."

How can I help?

A bond forged in life and death?

Xu Xian focused on maintaining his inner strength, while simultaneously hoping that the long half-quarter of an hour would pass quickly.

Looking at Xu Xian, Nie Xiaoqian sighed inwardly, thinking that this young master was indeed a virtuous gentleman, but it was a pity that he had come to Lanruo Temple.

This is a vicious place where no one can hear your cries for help, and you will eventually perish here.

What a terrible thing to do...

Nie Xiaoqian was in agony, but her expression remained alluring: "Young master, please help me..."

She supported Xu Xian's chest with one hand and untied the ribbon around her waist with the other.

Seeing that spring's beauty was about to be revealed, Xu Xian tried to forcefully use his magic to push Nie Xiaoqian away.

She was also afraid of startling Nie Xiaoqian and causing the tree demon to flee.

Even though Xu Xian knew the plot well, he didn't know what to do.

In the midst of the stalemate, suddenly there was a loud bang, and the door of the main hall was kicked open.

It's Xiaoqing!

The green snake stared in disbelief at the erotic scene in the hall, then cried out, "Sister, come quick! This lecherous man and the female ghost are making love!"

Xu Xian's mouth dropped open, and he stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

broken!

Xu and Bai were much faster than they had imagined!

They've actually killed the Tree Demon Granny?

He overacted!
