As he turned around and walked a few steps, Bai Yanqiu’s movements stopped. He glanced sideways and saw a little demon who had a peach blossom on his head and on his forehead, there was a peach blossom petal stuck on it.
The little demon was actually squatting on the ground shivering, holding a peach with bites taken out of it in his hand, looking at Bai Yanqiu with horror on his face.
Bai Yanqiu carried some murderous intent and bloody aura on his body. Although his facial features still held those handsome and extraordinary looks, under the formidable moonlight, it was always covered by a layer of a scary hue.
The little demon was not very old, it was only a few years ago that he had just transformed into a human, and he was not tall, only reaching Bai Yanqiu’s chest.
The little peach blossom demon had a face like a peach blossom, and his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised. The clothes he wore were white with pink peach blossoms, and it looked as light as a gauze, which was not vulgar or showing anything that was not allowed to look at.
There was a sense of harmony.
The little demon’s face was pale, and his fingers were picking the trunk of the peach tree uncontrollably. He stammered, “I, I didn’t see anything… Don’t, don’t kill me.”
It was the first time that Bai Yanqiu had seen a spiritual creature whose transformation resembled his true form so much, so he stopped and looked at it some more. Since the peach blossom demon was scared, Bai Yanqiu didn’t get closer.
He looked at the little demon for a moment, and then said indifferently: “I am not a bad person, and I will not kill innocent people.”
The peach blossom demon asked, “Is…is she a bad person?”
“Yes, she repaid kindness with malice and killed my mother.”
The peach blossom demon said, “Unexpectedly, this fox is very bad.”
Bai Yanqiu paused and said, “Don’t tell me that you would just believe in anything I say?”
The peach blossom demon frowned, and the imprint of the peach blossom petals on his forehead suddenly moved, as if it had come to life.
“That fox doesn’t look like a good person. As soon as she came here, she wanted to pull down a lot of flowers. If she was in a bad mood, she took out her anger on the peach trees and broke a lot of branches. I felt so distressed,” The little peach blossom demon said angrily.
Seeing him so innocent, Bai Yanqiu said kindly: “You should hide yourself quickly, don’t let others see you.”
This peach blossom forest had a long history. Although there were rumors that the peach trees here had all become spirits, no one had ever seen a peach blossom demon before. It was probably because peach blossom demons were afraid of seeing people and always hid themselves.
The people of the world were eager to use the spirits of plants and trees. Not only did they contain the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, but they also contained the essence of the sun and moon. Most of them had outstanding appearances. They had their own body fragrance and were very good ingredients when used as medicine.
This little demon, if someone found out its origin, naturally it wouldn’t be safe for him anymore.
The peach blossom demon shook his head and said, “I’ve been hiding here for decades. I don’t want to hide any more.”
“In my opinion, it’s more likely that your Dao attainments aren’t high enough, and you can’t change back, right?”
The peach blossom demon heard the truth and immediately blushed and said, “I’m not, so don’t guess randomly.”
Bai Yanqiu’s lips evoked a faint smile and quickly disappeared. “I’m leaving, goodbye.”
The little peach blossom demon saw that although he killed the fox and the scene was bloody for a time, but in the end, he was still gentle, so he was bold enough to say: “You made my place bloody, but you haven’t compensated me yet… You can’t just leave like this.”
Bai Yanqiu looked at the land stained with blood and felt that what the little peach blossom demon said made sense, so he asked, “How do you want me to compensate you?”
The little peach blossom demon rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t know yet. I’ll let you know when I think of something.”
Bai Yanqiu said, “Okay, after you think of something, come to me at any time.”
The little peach blossom demon did not accept this and said, “Who knows where you’re going? If I think of something but can’t find you anymore, won’t I be suffering a loss?”
Bai Yanqiu was helpless. He looked at the little peach blossom demon’s fluttering small face and asked, “Then what do you want to do?”
The little peach blossom demon blinked his eyes and said, “Well, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”
Bai Yanqiu stared at the little peach blossom demon for a moment. He was briefly silent, then said: “I go to many very dangerous places.”
The little peach blossom demon nodded. “I know, I have seen you leave from here many times and return many times. Sometimes when you come back, you have injuries on your body, I can see that.”
Before Bai Yanqiu could ask him why he wanted to wander around with him, the little peach blossom demon continued, “But if you have been here for thousands of years, being a tree is also very lonely and desolate. I heard that in the outside world, there are very high mountains, very big towers, beautiful pavilions, deserts full of sand, and river domes full of ice and snow. I think I would like to go out and take a look, I don’t want to be a peach blossom in Ethereal City for the rest of my life.”
Bai Yanqiu didn’t know which sentence he said touched him. Initially, he was determined not to bring an oil bottle, but he pondered it for a moment and said, “Okay.”
The little peach blossom demon’s eyes lit up.
“But the place I want to go, the vast majority of people never return from there. I may not be able to protect you.”
The little peach blossom demon said with a smile, “Then I’ll protect you. I’m very powerful.”
So, just ten days later, on the day Lin Xuanzhi and the others prepared to leave, they suddenly discovered that there was one more person in the team.
“This is a friend of mine,” Bai Yanqiu introduced.
“No.” The little peach blossom demon immediately denied, and said seriously, “He is my master, and I am his little peach blossom.”
Yin Nian: “….”
Yin Nian looked at this young man with red lips and a white face that resembled peach blossoms. The more he looked at him, the more uncomfortable he felt. He wondered, It’s only been a few days since I last saw him; how come he has a rotten peach blossom around him now?
Yin Nian took a deep breath and said to Bai Yanqiu, “Elder Martial Brother Bai, where we are going next, it’s not convenient for us to be accompanied by strangers who don’t know what’s important. Won’t you reconsider?”
Before Bai Yanqiu could open his mouth to answer, the little peach blossom demon said, “I won’t give you any trouble. Besides, I have a contract with Yanqiu Gege. If I want to think evil thoughts and do bad deeds he will surely bring me out at once.”
Yin Nian was stunned for a moment. “Contract? What on earth are you?”
Bai Yanqiu glanced at the peach blossom demon and said, “He is called Taotian, and his true form is that of a peach blossom. There are so many plants and trees buried in the Tomb of Youshan, so there must be a lot of plant and tree spirits as well. Moreover, plant spirits have a natural understanding of soil, climate, water sources, etc., so bringing him is not a hassle.”
Yin Nian curled his lips and said, “So that’s why his face looks like a peach. He turned out to be a peach blossom demon. He has small arms and thin legs. You can tell at a glance that he can’t endure beatings. If you take him with you, you’ll have to take care of him.”
The little peach blossom demon blinked and said, “No, I’m very easy to carry around.”
After saying that, he suddenly turned into a peach blossom branch, and hopped unto Yin Nian’s hand.
Yin Nian looked at the brightly colored peach blossom branch and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He handed the peach blossom branch to the side to Yang Umbrella, who was looking at him curiously.
Yang Umbrella took the peach blossom demon with a smile. The peach blossom demon jumped around, disguised as a tender flower hairpin, and inserted itself into Yang Umbrella’s hair.
Yang Umbrella felt it was very interesting. Just as soon as he wanted to raise his hand to touch it, the peach blossom was mercilessly pulled out by a hand and then thrown to Yan Tianhen.
Yin Umbrella’s face looked upset as he said coldly, “Who allowed you to have flower hairpins on your head without my permission? It’s so ugly!”
Yang Umbrella: “…”
Little Yin’s temper seems to be getting worse and worse.
Yan Tianhen liked the peach blossom demon very much. He played with the branches and leaves and said, “Turn into a human first. I have something to ask you.”
When the branch fell to the ground, it became a pink-faced teenager in white clothes.
Yan Tianhen said, “You can come with us, but you have to tell me what’s your talent first.”
The peach blossom demon turned his wrist, and there was a red peach in his hand. It was full of color and looked tender and juicy.
“All right, you’re in.“ Yan Tianhen took the peach and gave it to Lin Xuanzhi smoothly, as if offering treasures, and said happily, “Dage, take this kid with you, you won’t be afraid of going hungry on the road. It’s so convenient if you want to eat peaches.”
Lin Xuanzhi saw that he wanted the treasure. He reached out for the peach, which was very clean even without washing. He said with a smile, “No problem. Since he is a friend of Fellow Daoist Bai, let’s go together.”
He wouldn’t use a suspicious person, but conversely, he wouldn’t doubt someone he was using. Since they had already decided to treat Bai Yanqiu as one of their own for the time being, the people he brought were also naturally useful.
Bai Yanqiu cupped his hand and said, “Huarong Sword Immortal, don’t worry, I will restrain Taotian well along the way on this journey.”
Yin Nian’s face was dark as he stared at Taotian. He didn’t say anything along the way, probably because he didn’t think that Yan Tianhen was so disloyal that he could be bought by a peach.
If you wanted to leave Ethereal City, you needed to take the big boat off the coast of Ethereal City to Jade Ocean City first.
The tickets were not cheap, but for the disciples of Myriad Dao Academy with the leaf cards, the discount was still very large, and because of the cooperation with the sect, contribution points could also be used to buy the tickets.
Most of Yan Tianhen’s contribution points had been used to purchase magic weapons, pills, and spiritual plants. Although he had planted a lot of spiritual plants in the soul plate, most of them were commonly used varieties. If he wanted those plants that bloomed or produced fruit once every hundred years and resided in the high mountains and deep valleys, those hard-to-find spiritual plants in the world still had to be obtained by external forces.
Yan Tianhen replaced several spiritual plants that could refine life-saving pills and spent almost all of his contribution points. Now as he thought about it, he felt a toothache, but he couldn’t help it. His dog life was very important. Contribution points could be earned again, but he only had one life. It was also very beneficial that the small peach demon could turn into a tree branch. At least when they got on the boat, Taotian thanked him directly by inserting itself into Yan Tianhen’s hair to act as a hairpin. Yan Tianhen was happy for a long time because he escaped a ticket of 100 contribution points.
As for Ah Bai and Hu Po, the two tiger cubs had a strong sense of self ever since they were able to transform into humans. Even if they could appear as tiger cubs, they firmly resisted and insisted on buying two full tickets to show that they could pretend to be humans. This made Yan Tianhen very angry.
However, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t care. He paid for the tickets for the two tiger cubs, otherwise Yan Tianhen would probably have let them just stay in Ethereal City.
Although Bai Yanqiu didn’t talk much, he also didn’t talk much nonsense, and he was very perceptive. Along the way, he didn’t ask much about Yin Chongyue’s identity and the relationship between Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, nor why they wanted to bring Yin Nian, the famous Young Palace Master of Reincarnation Palace. It was as though all these fantastic events in other people’s eyes was, in his eyes, nothing to delve into. In fact, it made him feel extremely comfortable to get along with.
