"Master Qing, let me negotiate with it." Du Yu looked at the frenzied tree and whispered, "With Qingci’s protection, it can’t harm me."

Yang Qingqing dragged the giant Fire Saber and casually said, "Since Qingci is by your side, how could the Dixiu Tree harm anyone?"

Celestial Cyan Porcelain (Qingci) spoke softly, "Listen to your master."

Du Yu: "..."

These two girls, their voices are both of the cold and clear type.

In their calmness, there was also a trace of authority.

Better to not provoke them~

Du Yu nudged the deer’s belly with his heel. Though Bai Yujing was reluctant, it cautiously moved forward.

It wasn’t until they approached the branches that Xiaobai finally stopped.

As Du Yu kept waving, a solitary branch reached over.

Du Yu keenly noticed that the branch was trembling slightly?

Perhaps to express goodwill, the Dixiu Tree did not entwine the two with its branches but instead, after lowering to a certain extent, revealed its broad leaves.

The giant leaves, like umbrellas, covered the heads of the master and disciple.

Understanding the gesture, they both raised their arms, reaching out with their fingertips to touch the soft leaves, reminiscent of poplar leaves.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!" The moment the master and disciple touched the leaves, sounds of wild laughter erupted by their ears.

Du Yu had an odd expression, exchanging glances with Yang Qingqing.

It’s laughing so loudly...

Could it be that it’s gone mad from being alone for too long?

"Human race! Demon Pets, Demon Soldiers! You are of the Human Race, definitely human!"

Amidst the wild laughter, there were mutterings mixed in.

The last crazed creature had transported the master and disciple to the Otherworld, starting this perilous journey.

When it came to dealing with such lunatics, Du Yu felt a little apprehensive.

"Whew~"

A circle of fire suddenly expanded from within Du Yu without any warning.

Yang Qingqing frowned slightly and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Du Yu’s body stiffened, his expression a bit embarrassed: "Nothing, it’s unrelated to the tree, Little Tai Sui just leveled up."

Due to the Shadow Gu Tower being filled to the brim, the energy it released was extremely intense, entirely overshadowing the commotion of Little Tai Sui’s advancement.

Not only did Du Yu not notice, but even Yang Qingqing was confused, considering Du Yu was a walking Demon Spirit Realm.

"Ah." Only then did Yang Qingqing feel reassured.

In his mind, Du Yu connected with Little Tai Sui, "You sure picked your timing, gave us quite the scare."

Inside the Jueque Acupoint, Little Tai Sui raised its bear paw, rubbing its furry head, revealing a clumsy smile: "Hehe."

Spirit Level Peak!

The General Level was now in sight.

By then, the body could grow enormous, and charging through enemy lines would be a breeze!

Little Tai Sui beamed happily at the thought, unable to resist letting out a long howl: "Woo~~~"

"Haha, congratulations." Du Yu said softly. Coming back to his senses, he realized the Dixiu Tree had stopped trembling.

This sudden burst of fire not only startled the master and disciple but also confused the Dixiu Tree.

Initially, it thought it was under attack, but then realized it was just the human’s Demon Pet leveling up.

This familiar yet unfamiliar scene made the Dixiu Tree reminisce deeply.

"You are called Dixiu?" Du Yu asked.

"Dixiu!" A loud voice impressed itself into Du Yu and Yang Qingqing’s minds.

It sounded like a middle-aged man, full of vigor.

The Dixiu Tree asked, "Human race, how have you escaped calamity?

And how did you survive the century-long massacre of the Youhan Realm?"

Yang Qingqing placed a hand on Du Yu’s shoulder, stopping him from responding.

The Dixiu Tree obviously noticed the small gesture from the human woman, and it sighed softly: "Forget it, forget it!"

Nobody knew better than the Dixiu Tree how the world had turned.

Since these two humans were unaffected by the Cold Qi and accompanied by Demon Pet Sacred Soldiers, they undoubtedly had their secrets.

Concerning matters of life and death, it was reasonable for humans to keep their secrets.

The Dixiu Tree said solemnly, "Human race, your aura is intense, indicating significant strength.

Do you have any plans to counterattack the Youhan?"

At the Dixiu Tree’s inquiry, Du Yu and Yang Qingqing remained silent.

Their Kunlun journey was certainly a life-threatening expedition.

They were already using all their strength just to preserve themselves.

Counterattack?

How could they have such strength now?

"Alas..." The Dixiu Tree perceived their reaction, feeling disheartened, and sighed deeply.

For a moment, the Dixiu Tree became silent and still.

After a long time, the excitement faded, and the Dixiu Tree spoke deeply, "Since you have the ability to protect your soul, raise Demon Pets and train Demon Soldiers,

I assume you can also cultivate Demonic Plants."

Yang Qingqing: "Hmm?"

The Dixiu Tree: "I, as a Saint, offer you a Dixiu Tree Seedling; will you promise to care for its growth?"

Du Yu opened his mouth, but no words came out for a while.

This was their first meeting, knowing nothing about each other, and the Dixiu Tree was already offering a seedling?

The gesture was quite abrupt,

also indicating that the tree had no other options.

It seemed that in this world overrun by the Youhan Army, the Dixiu Tree had no choice but to place its trust in the remaining humans.

Yang Qingqing furrowed her brows gently: "Are you going to wither?"

The Dixiu Tree: "My life is far from over.

But with the Youhan Tree expanding and invading the world, my death is inevitable."

Yang Qingqing felt a wave of sadness in her heart.

During these days, she hadn’t seen any Demonic Plants, which revealed a lot already.

The Dixiu Tree spoke in a deep voice, "If you can propagate the seeds of Dixiu, Dixiu will surely repay!"
