Chapter 2491 Breath
did not expect.
The development of things was much more interesting than Xiao Xiao had expected.

……

"Your breath?"

Xiao Xiao confirmed, "It's just your breath?"

If the scent of the plum girl is just one of them, then it can be understood that the other party has had contact with the plum girl.

Maybe he is an acquaintance of Ms. Mei.

If there was only... the scent of the plum lady...

That would be strange.

……

"It's my breath..."

Mei Nu murmured.

“I didn’t realize it right away…”

"Because this aura is no longer pure."

“It’s mixed with bad things.”

……

"Bad stuff?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

……

"Master Xiao Xiao, where did you find it?"

Mei looked up at Xiao Xiao.

……

"It's a long story at this point."

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

He told the story of how Zhuge Yun smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms, and how they followed the scent and finally found the small plum tree in the old man's yard.

……

As Xiao Xiao spoke, a thoughtful look gradually appeared on Mei's face.

It was only after Xiao Xiao's voice stopped for a few seconds that it reacted.

"Feel sorry."

Mei Nu lowered her head slightly.

It's a little distracted.

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"Did you find something?"

……

"Ah."

Mei Nu nodded.

"That branch should have been part of my former body."

……

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened for a moment.

"Is that part of your former body?"

……

"Yes."

After the initial surprise, the slightly complicated expression on Mei's face gradually returned to her usual cold and indifferent expression.

"When you found me, I was just a branch."

"The rest I thought were shattered and dispersed by the lightning."

"I didn't expect that there was still a branch that survived."

"I never thought that the branch would develop a little bit of intelligence."

……

"It has also become a demon?"

Xiao Xiao felt that the development of things was becoming more and more interesting.

……

"Not counting."

Mei Nu shook her head.

It is extremely difficult for plants to transform into monsters.

It takes a long time and rare opportunities.

The branch only developed some consciousness by chance because of the thunder tribulation and the evil spirit released when it was going through the thunder tribulation.

No.

To say consciousness is not quite right.

"It actually hasn't even developed its own consciousness yet."

"It's just an instinct."

……

"instinct?"

Xiao Xiao's heart moved slightly.

……

"Yes."

Mei Nu nodded.

"The instinct of cultivation."

"Otherwise, the effects of the thunder tribulation and my demonic energy on it will soon disappear."

"It will turn back into a normal branch."

Mei Nu paused.

The hands folded on the abdomen could not help but slightly close.

"Master Xiao Xiao, is the owner of that courtyard feeling unwell?"

……

Hearing the music and understanding the elegant meaning.

Xiao Xiao understood a little and said, "Is it related to that branch?"

……

"Ah."

Mei Nu pursed her lips.

……

Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

"You don't have to feel embarrassed."

……

After hearing what Lord Xiao Xiao said, Mei felt a little relieved.

However, having said that, the branch came from it after all. It felt a little emotional.

"Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence... that the owner of that house would buy a plum tree..."

……

indeed.

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Mei's words solved the mystery of the sudden disappearance of the branches in the old man's narration.

The branch is not missing.

Instead, it blends in with the plum tree next to it.

Just like the plum girl in front of him.

……

"The spiritual energy is weak nowadays, and it is extremely difficult for monsters to practice."

Ms. Mei got back to the topic.

"It is at this time that it needs a lot of spiritual energy to consolidate its own spiritual awareness."

"It is impossible for it to obtain such a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth..."

"Can only-"

"Is the sword taking a different approach?"

Xiao Xiao continued.

Mei Nu nodded.

"This is the quickest way to practice."

"It means to directly absorb the essence of humans for cultivation."

But this is already a wrong path.

Even if you are lucky enough to practice all the way.

When you finally encounter a thunderstorm, your soul will be destroyed.

From the ornament that Lord Xiao Xiao had just given it, it could already sense the turbid air mixed with the familiar demonic energy.

Make it unhappy.

Or rather...disgust.

Perhaps it was this foul air that prevented it from immediately noticing its own scent on the jewelry.

Of course, an important reason is that after a long time, the breath becomes extremely faint.

……

Xiao Xiao remembered the two old men’s faces that were too old which did not match their age.

He frowned.

Sure enough, there are many coincidences in the world.

But many things are often not coincidences.

The old man had just experienced the pain of his grandson's death. Even if many people find their aging strange at first, when they think about the death of their grandson, they will feel a little understanding.

Even the two old people themselves were afraid and thought so.

Even he is no exception.

After all, there are too many similar plots in novels.

He also doesn't have the habit of thinking that everything is caused by monsters.

……

"Master Xiao Xiao, could you please take me to where it is?"

Mei Nu lowered her head slightly.

"This matter was caused by me in the final analysis."

"Of course I should solve it."

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

……

Since he was going to take Mei Nu with him, Xiao Xiao would not take the "ordinary route".

The moon was at its zenith, and he asked Ah Jiu to cast a spell on him.

Then he called the Gu Diao to carry him and Mei Nu to the old man's yard where they had visited during the day.

……

"Whoo~"

The wind was howling coldly tonight, and at some point the moon was blocked by drifting clouds.

The night is dark.

The residential area was in darkness.

……

Xiao Xiao landed lightly in the yard.

"excuse me."

Unless it was necessary, he was not willing to do such a thing as "trespassing".

That's why he deliberately left his accessories in the yard.

Give yourself a reasonable excuse to come back.

But this time is different from last time.

For the safety of the two elderly people, etiquette is not the first issue that needs to be considered.

……

Without Xiao Xiao's introduction, Mei Nu had already set her sights on the small plum tree not far away.

The night did not pose much of an obstruction to Mei's vision.

rather say……

Xiao Xiao looked at Mei Nu.

Because I am used to seeing plum girls in my own yard.

The plum tree in the yard seemed to be emitting a halo of light in the night, so he had always somewhat ignored it...

At this time, looking at Mei Nu outside...

It turned out that Mei Nu's body seemed to be covered by a thin layer of light.

It faintly illuminated the darkness in the yard.

……

It was a dreamlike scene.

Xiao Xiao felt a little emotional.

Then he turned his gaze to the plum tree.

……

The plum girl walked towards the small plum tree step by step, slowly and unhurriedly.

The yellow petals on the slender branches caught its eye.

It reaches out.
