PFC Chapter 528
Chapter 528
Previously, Yan Chixia had been eating dry rations to stave off hunger, and they tasted absolutely awful.
Ling Yanyan smiled slightly and said to Yan Chixia, "Senior, please sit down."
Yan Chixia immediately sat down opposite Ling Yanyan without any hesitation.
Ling Yanyan picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Yan Chixia, then poured one for himself as well.
However, he raised his wine glass and said to Yan Chixia, "We are destined to meet. We are able to stay at Lanruo Temple thanks to you, senior. I would like to toast you."
Unlike Ling Yanyan, Yan Chixia was not eloquent; he simply laughed heartily and said "good" three times in a row.
It's clear how satisfied he is with Ling Yanyan; they're practically on the verge of becoming sworn brothers with him.
Because he was laughing so hard, his face looked somewhat ferocious, which made Ling Yanyan secretly complain.
"Yan Chixia was born in the wrong era. If he had been born in the Three Kingdoms period, he could have been on brotherhood with Zhang Fei. The two are really alike."
Yan Chixia picked up his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, immediately feeling incredibly refreshed.
He couldn't help but praise, "Your wine is very good. I've drunk so much wine, but I've never drunk such strong wine before."
"Haha, you flatter me, senior," Ling Yanyan said modestly.
He then glanced at Yan Chixia before saying, "Actually, there are many kinds of wine in the outside world, but since you've always lived in these mountains, it's indeed quite difficult for you to find some."
Yan Chixia felt a little regretful upon hearing this, but he did not regret it. He took a sip of wine and said calmly.
"The reason I hid in these deep mountains is twofold: first, to eliminate the tree demon, and second, to escape the affairs of the martial world. It's much quieter here, which allows my mind to calm down."
Yan Chixia knew very well that he did not like places of conflict, even though this godforsaken place was somewhat dangerous.
But if he had to choose, he would prefer dealing with ghosts, as it would be much easier.
The two ate and chatted, saying quite a lot.
As time went on, Yan Chixia's attitude towards Ling Yanyan improved.
It was clear that he had completely accepted Ling Yanyan.
This was a difficult thing for Yan Chixia. Even though Xiahou the Swordsman kept challenging him to a duel, Yan Chixia never took Xiahou the Swordsman seriously.
Only Ling Yanyan could catch his eye.
After chatting for a long time, Ling Yanyan said calmly, "We've eaten enough. Let's discuss how to deal with that tree demon."
If it were just a tree demon from a movie, Ling Yanyan could easily destroy it with a wave of his hand. However, after entering this world, he discovered that the tree demon was not as simple as he had thought.
The tree demon, like a cunning old fox, has been secretly developing its power, and its strength is now far greater than before.
He couldn't be careless either. Now that he had Yan Chixia, a living tool, in front of him, he naturally couldn't let him go.
Hearing Ling Yanyan's words, Yan Chixia sighed deeply before speaking, "Dealing with the tree demon is not a simple matter. He is highly skilled and possesses great magical power. To defeat him, we must make all the necessary preparations and cannot afford the slightest mistake."
Ling Yanyan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then Yan Chixia continued, "It's one thing for the tree demon to be powerful, but it also commands many ghosts and monsters in the mountains and forests." Speaking of this, Yan Chixia became somewhat wary; this tree demon was truly too cunning.
Unbeknownst to them, they had somehow managed to recruit all the ghosts and monsters in the mountains and forests as their subordinates—this was no simple feat.
This is almost equivalent to having a lot more henchmen. To eliminate the tree demon, you must first kill its subordinates.
Ling Yanyan nodded, having to admit that Yan Chixia had dealt with tree demons in the deep mountains for so many years and understood them very well.
Even if Ling Yanyan knew the plot, he wouldn't be able to understand it in such detail; he still needed Yan Chixia's help.
