Chapter 17 Non-Compulsory Work

Bai Xuci stood outside the hall, still a little dazed...

He looked down at his fingers.

Stretch out, open and close.

Stretch again, open again.

There seems to be no problem?

Why does Fu Lin have such a serious expression?

Can't figure it out.

Withdrawing her fingers, Bai Xuci leaned against the wall and waited a little bored.

The devil seemed to be merciful and gave him a lot of demonic power, making him re-shape again, but he didn't mention his "illness" at all, and just told him to wait where he was.

Said that there will be a waiter to lead the way.

Bai Xuci looked left and right.

I didn't see a ghost either...

"..."

Is it possible to make him one?

It shouldn't be, logically speaking, the identity of the big devil... shouldn't be surrounded by the front and back?

Why is it so deserted all the time?

His eyebrows were wrinkled, but he still couldn't figure it out.

But at this moment, he happened to glance at the ground, and there was a small puddle.

Reflected a handsome boy in white.

Bai Xuci's brows and eyes moved slightly, and he noticed something was wrong.

He bent down and observed it carefully.

Then he raised his hand and touched his forehead...

Hey, when did the swelling subside?

There was still a small wisp of something like black mist on the top of the head, Bai Xuci frowned, and waved it away with his hand.

The dryad ran around the hall in a panic with its messy leaves on its head.

There was some fresh dirt left along the way.

It looks like it just came out of the ground.

"Hoo hoo..." Panting.

Bai Xuci bent down to look slightly worried, and then asked tentatively:

"You're here to find—"

"Where's your lord?" He asked a step ahead.

Bai Xuci replied seriously: "Let's go."

The dryad became sad when he heard the words, and even the leaves on the branches of the tree fell off in pieces.

Bai Xuci reached out to catch a few leaves, and then put them on the dryad's branch with concern.

Quite a bit of self-deception.

"Still not in time, eh..." Wiping his forehead with a tree branch, he gratefully picked up the leaves from Baixuci, and pressed them deftly on his hair—the pile of leaves.

"Are you the little demon that His Majesty asked me to bring?" Finally, he got back to business, although there was still some disappointment in his brows and eyes.

Seeing the other party like this, Bai Xuci couldn't help becoming curious.

"I am, but... what's the matter with you? It looks like you are very anxious." Asked very politely.

The Dryad sighed when he heard the words, and when he got emotional, the leaves started to fall again.

Bai Xuci: "!!"

However, a tree branch that acts as a human arm waved, and the surrounding area was immediately surrounded by green spiritual power.

The fallen leaves stopped for an instant, and then returned to the head intact.

Bai Xuci suddenly felt miraculous. In this case...isn't it automatic controllable hair?

Don't worry about baldness anymore?

Even if the hair falls out, you can wave your hands to make them grow back, so practical!

"I'm really sorry, I've been a little anxious these days and I haven't controlled it well." Dryad explained, although his expression was still sad.

God knows how fast he ran this time, he was resting in the field!

A spiritual message came, saying that His Majesty wanted to summon him.

I ran out of the ground in excitement, and forgot to shake the soil.

Bai Xuci was amazed, and was concerned when he heard what the other party said.

"It's better not to be anxious, or you will always turn your headhair loss."

The word "hair" was abruptly changed.

The dryad is also very well aware of this, and feels that his leaves are falling more and more, and he can't do this anymore.

Maybe it was a few pleasantries, and everyone's atmosphere was not so cold anymore.

"Hi, I'm here to guide you to serve Your Majesty, you can call me 'Ashan'." It was a very generous introduction.

When Bai Xuci heard the words, he looked up at the dryad's leaves, and then he understood.

Oh, the fir tree species.

After saying a few words, Bai Xuci followed the other party, and happened to know some basic information.

Because "Fragrant fir" is the main tree species of mountain Lin, and most of them are distributed at the foot of the mountain...

It was pretty good at first, but recently people in the town came to cut down trees frequently.

It seems to be a big project, but 'Ashan' didn't care about it.

Because humans mostly can't cut down many trees, and it doesn't prevent them from regenerating.

But then things changed...

It seems that a new official took office in the town. To build a luxurious mansion, a lot of wood is needed, so they cut down without restraint.

The foot of the mountain is almost bald.

And they are planning to cut down the trees at the foot of the mountain in order to build a separate garden, which will be used as a hunting ground.

Baixuci's heart skipped a beat. He hasn't gone down the mountain to play for a long time, and he doesn't know how Aunt Lin's family is doing.

Without the woods, the cabin... is it still there?

But hearing this, Bai Xuci was a little suspicious.

"But this is mountain Lin, aren't they afraid?"

emmm... a bunch of monsters live here.

It seems a bit strange that so many trees can be cut down in a grand manner.

At least Bai Xuci found it strange.

When 'Ashan' heard this, he couldn't help feeling frustrated.

"It was indeed like this before, and no human dared to approach it. Everyone lived happily."

"but"

There was a pause in the tone, and then there was some distress.

"But later, for some reason, there was an inexplicable rumor in the world, saying that before the husband of the bride came to the door, he must go to the mountain Lin to prove his bravery. Only in this way can love stand the test, otherwise it will not count."

Bai Xuci frowned...

"At that time, some people did come to mountain Lin for this reason, and they went back safely. After all, everyone didn't have the time to care about human beings."

Baixuci thought, the "everyone" should be the monsters.

"But this seems to have aroused the interest of some people in the town, because the person who returned safely made up a series of horrific experiences, probably to increase his reputation or something..."

"Obviously, the goal has been achieved."

'Ashan' felt exhausted, because since then, the town has been filled with people coming to test his so-called 'courage'.

But the monsters living in the mountains can also be annoying...

If you come and go again and again, you may really hurt a few people, and you want to use this to force these uninvited guests back.

But because of the half-truth and half-fake atmosphere created before, instead of showing fear, the young people in the town became more excited.

Even set up a "monster hunting team".

The one who mobilized the crowd came to Lin Mountain, which was crowned as the mountain of demons and ghosts decades ago.

Bai Xuci was engrossed in listening, and didn't notice a small stone in front of her.

Suddenly tripped, or 'Ashan' shot him back with the tree branch.

"So now?" He stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and asked aloud.

"The spirits at the foot of the mountain did eat a few people."

Bai Xuci's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little hairy...

"It seems to have alarmed the imperial court in the world."

"So they sent new officers down to try to deal with it, so their solution—"

Bai Xuci immediately understood: "The solution is to cut down all the trees on the mountain to prove that there are no ghosts at all, so as to calm the hearts of the people?"

"exactly."

Turning the corner and finally came to a palace——

Bai Xuci still couldn't calm down for a long time, and felt that this matter was too outrageous.

One is, did you burn the mountain of the big devil if you wanted to?The second is that the group of people who chose to go to the mountain to test their courage...are they out of their minds?

are you crazy!

"Then... what are you going to do with this matter?" Bai Xuci followed behind 'Ashan', and very considerately helped him lift the tree branch so that he could shake off the soil.

After 'Ashan' cleaned himself up, he walked to the ground just now, and then took root and buried himself.

Bai Xuci was still thinking clearly, but when he saw this scene, his face was filled with question marks.

Uh, what did you just shake the soil for?

"Originally, I planned to let my lord know, but ordinary little monsters can't see my lord at all, so I can only listen to the summons..."

Bai Xuci didn't pay much attention to the words behind Baixuci, but he probably understood it.

It is estimated that he has no choice, the wounding monster at the foot of the mountain can move at any time, but Shanmu cannot.

Can only wait for the fate of being cut.

As for the devil, it seems... he is not very easy to see?

Bai Xuci thought about it seriously, and felt that her experience was not very informative.

"What do I need to do?" Bai Xuci asked, still not forgetting her business.

'Ashan' had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't quite understand why the other party asked this question.

"Of course I'm waiting for a summons!"

Silence for a second or two...

Bai Xuci tried to understand, but still couldn't understand, so he asked directly:

"What do you mean? His Majesty asked me to go to the side hall to do something, and then, I, I wait for the summons?"

'Ashan' moved the branch of the tree in doubt, and then said: "Otherwise? Your Majesty doesn't like to be disturbed, and there are generally no other attendants in the bedroom. As for when there is a need..."

"You should be summoned, and you can go at that time."

Bai Xuci suddenly realized, could this be - non-compulsory work?

Whenever the boss needs it, I will show up again; if the boss doesn't need it, I will be happy alone.

Well, it seems to be not bad?

Bai Xuci walked into her room with the hope that the big devil would never summon her again.

Then he threw himself on the bed.

I wanted to sleep at first, but somehow I remembered what 'Ashan' said.

Well, mountain Lin will definitely not be chopped down, but if those people do too much, will the monsters...

In a flash of his mind, he remembered the babbling cub of Aunt Lin's family.

Immediately, he jumped up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.

It seems that things are a little difficult to handle.

at the same time

Fan Yue looked at the Xuanling Mirror fixed in mid-air, and inside it was the Cyan Cloud Sect that had lost its "treasure" - Crescent Moon Fish.

At this moment, he was looking at the air around him warily, as if he realized that something was peeping...

"It's enlightened."

Xuan Li knelt down respectfully, lowered her head and reported:

"Cyan Cloud Sect has been looking for this spirit beast a few years ago, and it was probably used for that old man Lian Ganzhi to stabilize his cultivation. It must have fallen to mountain Lin two years ago?"

Fan Yue didn't have any big mood swings, but just remembered the wet and dying appearance of the rabbit that day.

He frowned slightly.

If he didn't make a move, with his monster power, he wouldn't be swallowed in one gulp, right?

There was a slight "tsk", then put away the Xuanling Mirror, and turned around.

"Have you checked it out? Information about the ethereal body."
