Yun Shu didn’t expect soone to reveal her identity with a single sentence.
Her face turned red imdiately, and she widened her eyes and asked, "You...how do you know I’m a Tree Demon?"
The man laughed quite casually, "Not only do I know you’re a little Tree Demon, but I also know this..."
He pointed to the Gu Shengyin in her arms, "This little guy is also a little Monster who hasn’t shape-shifted yet."
Upon hearing him ntion Gu Shengyin, Yun Shu’s expression turned wary, and she stepped back holding Gu Shengyin.
Seeing her like this, the man couldn’t help but laugh again, "Why so nervous? I have no ill intent towards the Little Fox."
This was true; Gu Shengyin didn’t sense any malice from this man.
Moreover...
"Moreover, within Lotus City, fighting and bloodshed are not allowed. You should know that."
Yun Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The man suddenly asked, "Why is it just the two of you little ones? Where are your elders?"
Speaking of this, his expression beca sowhat serious.
Though the Monster Race is inherently playful, they cherish their young ones the most.
Every young mber of the Monster Race is a precious treasure that should be watched over by adult monsters until they can protect themselves. How did these two little ones end up in Lotus City alone?
Yet the response he got was Yun Shu’s face filled with confusion.
Precious young ones? She had always grown up by herself.
Watching her expression, the man understood imdiately.
"Could it be that you both...have been on your own outside all along?"
Yun Shu recalled what Gu Shengyin said, not to ntion the Peach Blossom Forest, and nodded.
The man rubbed his forehead, not expecting that his casual inquiry would lead him to two wild young ones.
Judging by their appearance, one has just shape-shifted, at most only slightly stronger than a cultivator in the Qi Refinent Realm. The other, needless to say, is still in the juvenile stage.
"It’s quite lucky that you managed to arrive at Lotus City safely," he said wistfully.
"Would you be willing to co with ? Inside Lotus City, us loose cultivators from the Monster Race have our own place," he asked.
Yun Shu remained confused, but Gu Shengyin gently voiced her agreent.
Since Gu Shengyin agreed, Yun Shu certainly wouldn’t object.
The man looked at Gu Shengyin with so surprise and praised, "Quite a pretty and clever little fellow."
As he walked along, he said, "I am Xuan, originally a black panther. It’s quite a fate eting you two today...by the way, why are you still holding onto this stone?"
Yun Shu smiled shyly, "The stone protected us for a long way. I’m sowhat reluctant to part with it."
Protection? Xuan thought about the large size of the stone and understood; it likely deterred many people in the human world. A heart pure like a child’s.
Xuan led the tree and fox to a courtyard.
"Bodhi Nanny, I’ve brought two young ones," he announced.
Seeing Xuan lower his head with a respectful and humble deanor, Gu Shengyin was quite surprised.
On the way here, she roughly understood Xuan’s personality, which was carefree and uninhibited. What kind of person could command such respect from him?
Soon she was about to find out what kind of person it was.
The courtyard door opened, and held by Yun Shu, Gu Shengyin followed him and walked inside.
The courtyard was planted with a very tall tree and kept a lot of beautifully blooming flowers.
Yet the first thing everyone sees upon entering isn’t these, because there was a person sitting in the courtyard.
