Capítulo 1167: Chapter 1142: Battle Against Tree Demon Granny

Xiaoqian deliberately put on a surprised face and asked, “Granny, why are you here?”

“Xiaoqian, where’s the man inside? Didn’t I tell you to absorb his essence?”

Tree Demon Granny said coldly.

“Just now on the main road, I clearly saw a handsome scholar, he would be an excellent supplement. Where is that person?”

Tree Demon Granny’s voice was very hoarse, very harsh.

Ye Chen realized at this moment that when he arrived earlier, he had already caught Granny’s attention.

Then Tree Demon Granny sent Xiaoqian to deal with him.

Tree Demon Granny never expected that despite her plans, Xiaoqian had already fallen for Ye Chen.

“Granny!”

“That young man went to the neighboring room, he said he’ll be back shortly.”

Nie Xiaoqian said, feeling very guilty.

After all, Ye Chen was actually in the water barrel.

“What?”

Tree Demon Granny froze for a moment.

“This man wasn’t even attracted by your charms and went to another room. By the way, I saw that man wearing a Yellow Robe, could he be an eunuch.”

Ye Chen was about to faint in the water.

“Who’s an eunuch, you’re the eunuch, your whole family are eunuchs!”

Tree Demon Granny was very shrewd, staring coldly at Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian was a truly innocent girl, and usually wouldn’t say much.

So now her pretty face was flushed red.

Tree Demon Granny looked at Nie Xiaoqian confused, why is the girl’s face so red?

She felt a bit puzzled, turning around in the room.

Then she sniffed around.

Indeed, there was no human scent in the room.

Tree Demon Granny snorted coldly, “Alright, when that man returns, make sure to captivate him and absorb his Yang Qi.”

“Just now, that boy rode past me on something strange, I could tell his Yang Qi is abundant, definitely not a mortal. If I absorb his Yang Qi, my power will surely increase greatly.”

“Tsk tsk, Xiaoqian, if you manage to accomplish this, it will be a great merit.”

…

Tree Demon Granny stared at Nie Xiaoqian a few more times before transforming into a gust of dark wind and disappearing from the room.

Nie Xiaoqian sighed in relief upon seeing Tree Demon Granny leave.

She suddenly remembered that Ye Chen was still underwater.

Nie Xiaoqian’s expression changed.

“Oh no, all this time, won’t Ye Chen have suffocated in the water?”

Just then, the water splashed and Ye Chen emerged.

Ye Chen smiled at Nie Xiaoqian, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Nie Xiaoqian sighed in relief, “Young Master is okay, thank goodness, you scared me.”

At this moment, two people’s bodies were tightly pressed together, gazing into each other’s eyes.

By now, both of their clothes were wet, creating an ambiguous scene.

Nie Xiaoqian’s pretty face blushed instantly.

Although Nie Xiaoqian wasn’t human, after cultivation, her Spirit Body solidified, allowing her to feel human warmth and other perceptions.

Ye Chen was actually quite moved.

Nie Xiaoqian risked a lot and lied to Tree Demon Granny for him.

If her feelings weren’t deep, Nie Xiaoqian wouldn’t have done such a thing.

Ye Chen’s delivery uniform was waterproof.

After emerging from the water, it dried immediately.

Seeing Ye Chen’s clothes drying so quickly, Nie Xiaoqian was amazed.

What Magical Treasure is this Young Master wearing; it’s incredible.

“By the way, Young Master, I still don’t know your name.”

Ye Chen smiled, “My name is Ye Chen.”

Their eyes met, Nie Xiaoqian’s pretty face flushed red.

“Young Master, we can’t stay here. Tree Demon Granny could return at any time. Let’s hurry and leave; once we’re out of her range, we’ll be safe.”

Nie Xiaoqian’s face was redder than ever, for it was the first time she was so close to a man.

And this man was someone she liked.

Just then, there was a sudden bang.

A gust of dark wind rushed in.

Soon after, a raspy voice sounded.

“How dare you, Nie Xiaoqian, betray me.”

Unexpectedly, Tree Demon Granny was very suspicious. She appeared to leave, but in reality, was hiding outside, listening clearly to everything happening inside.

Nie Xiaoqian turned pale upon seeing Tree Demon Granny.

Outside the window, a dark shadow screamed and rushed towards Nie Xiaoqian.

Ye Chen was also stunned.

He hadn’t expected the Tree Demon to be so cunning.

It hadn’t left at all, and seeing Ye Chen, rushed straight in.

Tree Demon Granny sneered, “You little girl with such little cultivation, you think you can deceive me? You’re too naive.”

Speaking, Tree Demon Granny’s hands transformed into vines, directly wrapping towards Ye Chen.

Upon seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian’s beautiful face paled.

She knew Tree Demon Granny was a Thousand-Year Tree Demon, beyond her ability to contend.

But even at this juncture, despite knowing she wasn’t Young Demon Granny’s match, she had to stand up for the one she loved.

Nie Xiaoqian soared into the air, her long sleeves directly entwining the piercing tentacles from the Tree Demon Granny.

Ripping sound!

The clash between the two immediately stirred spiritual power waves in the sky.

Ye Chen was also astounded by the scene.

Is this the legendary Demon Technique?

At this moment, Tree Demon Granny’s two tentacles transformed into countless tentacles.

Striking towards Nie Xiaoqian.

“How dare you, Nie Xiaoqian, confront Granny for a man. After all these years, how have I been nourishing you that you’d do such a thing.” Tree Demon Granny shouted angrily.

Nie Xiaoqian was determined now.

She clearly understood that Tree Demon Granny cultivating her wasn’t out of kindness; she was treated as a tool to commit heinous acts.

Nie Xiaoqian said in a deep voice, “Granny, I don’t want to oppose you. If you let me and the Young Master leave, I promise not to disclose your whereabouts to anyone; I will wander the world with this Young Master, without harming you.”

Nie Xiaoqian knew her demon techniques were all taught by Granny.

She could resist for a while, but couldn’t possibly be a match for Tree Demon Granny.

Nie Xiaoqian, suspended in the air, continuously used the silk she held, striking the tentacles away.

However, the tentacles Tree Demon Granny transformed into grew more and more, and Nie Xiaoqian was soon overwhelmed.

Ye Chen had been watching all this while; it wasn’t that he didn’t want to protect Nie Xiaoqian, but he needed to understand the demon techniques first.

First, he needed to ascertain how great the gap was between him and Tree Demon Granny.

Ye Chen could see Xiaoqian’s strength was indeed formidable.

Otherwise, under Tree Demon Granny’s fierce attack, she wouldn’t have lasted this long.

But after all, Tree Demon Granny was a Thousand-Year Tree Demon.

Her tentacles were like whips, quickly encircling Nie Xiaoqian at the center.

Nie Xiaoqian’s pressure was increasing, and it seemed she couldn’t hold on.

She turned her head, shouting at Ye Chen, “Young Master Ye, run quickly.”
