Chapter 480 Beauty
"It looks like it should be."

Xiao Xiao put the branch on his desk.

"No, Third Brother, why did you bring back a branch?"

Zhang Bo was very puzzled. Even if Xiao Xiao had a peculiar hobby and wanted tree branches, most people would not pick up branches that were broken by others or struck by lightning, right?

"Third brother, when did you develop this hobby?"

Zhao Luzheng approached Xiao Xiao's desk and looked carefully at the branches on it.

No matter how he looked left and right, up and down, he couldn't see anything good about the charred branch.

"As expected of the third child, even his hobbies are so unique."

Zhuge Yun lay on the bed, his hand stretched out over the guardrail, and gave Xiao Xiao a thumbs up with a crooked smile.

……

Xiao Xiao was unmoved, and even raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to Zhuge Yun very gently: "Thank you."

Zhuge Yun: ...

……

"Haha~"

Zhang Bo laughed heartily, and Zhao Luzheng also chuckled.

……

"Okay, no kidding."

"It's just that I was in a hurry to get going, and I forgot to throw away this branch."

Xiao Xiao gave a reasonable explanation.

……

"Oh~"

After Zhuge Yun and his companions argued for a few more words, they forgot about the matter of the branch.

Although it’s a bit strange that since he brought it back by mistake, why didn’t Xiao Xiao throw the branch into the trash can right away, but put it on the desk instead?
But the doubt was fleeting.

Because they were too sleepy, they were too lazy to ask.

It's just a branch broken into two pieces. Xiao Xiao can deal with it however he wants. Why bother asking so many questions?
……

Soon, the dormitory fell into darkness.

Xiao Xiao lay in bed for a while and then he heard some light snoring.

He waited for a while before getting up and tiptoeing out of bed.

……

"Coffee~"

"Ouch~"

Feifei and Taotie spontaneously jumped onto him, with curiosity in their eyes.

……

To be on the safe side, Xiao Xiao took the branch and walked into the bathroom because he didn't know the specific details of the branch.

He turned around and locked the door, then looked at the branch in his hand.

……

He knew clearly that this branch was unusual, but no matter how he checked, there was no strange aura at all. It was so ordinary that Xiao Xiao almost thought that everything before was just an illusion.

Of course, just almost.

Xiao Xiao knew that the previous scream and the previous evil spirit were all real.

……

"come out."

Xiao Xiao said softly.

The quiet bathroom was divided into two parts by the moonlight coming through the ventilation window, with a clear distinction between light and dark.

Xiao Xiao stood in the frosty moonlight, with his outstretched palms, slender fingers and crystal-clear skin, glowing with a hazy halo under the moonlight.

The broken branches lying on it were charred and rough, like shadows in the moonlight.

……

Xiao Xiao was not too surprised by the other party's lack of reaction.

However, since gentle methods don't work, Xiao Xiao can only take tough measures.

Using courtesy before force is the right way to entertain guests.

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

He stretched out his hands and grasped both ends of the broken branch, but before he could exert any force, screams could already be heard.

……

Xiao Xiao ignored it until he heard a crisp cracking sound from the charred skin of the broken branch, then he slowly stopped what he was doing.

During this time, the screaming never stopped.

Xiao Xiao seemed to be able to see layers of sound waves hitting the wall, or dissipating, or overlapping with later sound waves. The small toilet space made the strange screams even more vivid.

……

"come out."

Xiao Xiao called out softly again.

……

An evil aura gradually spread from the broken branches.

The broken branch that had been silent all this time suddenly made a slight movement, and a faint light enveloped the broken branch. The light became brighter and brighter, and the silhouette of the broken branch could hardly be seen.

I saw a ball of light slowly rising from Xiao Xiao's palm.

……

Xiao Xiao seemed nonchalant, but his eyes were fixed on the changes in the ball of light without blinking.

The frosty white moonlight poured down, and the light of the ball of light began to shrink.

The light flickered and suddenly became brighter.

A strong wind suddenly blew and ruffled Xiao Xiao's hair.

Xiao Xiao closed his eyes subconsciously.

……

There is a subtle fragrance floating in the air, rich and elegant, so cool yet intoxicating.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the scene he saw stunned him for a moment.

In the bright moonlight, an illusory figure looms.

My whole body was glowing, and I didn't know if it was because of the moonlight or something else.

……

Beauty is like a flower across the clouds.

It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and flutters like the snow covered by the flowing wind.

Such a beauty, Xiao Xiao was actually at a loss for words.

……

After a long time, Xiao Xiao restrained the amazement in his eyes.

What a beautiful monster.

Xiao Xiao sighed a little.

If it weren't for the evil aura floating in the air, he would almost think that the woman in front of him was the goddess of the Ninth Heaven who had descended to earth.

Especially the figure of the woman in front of him seemed vague and the clear moonlight almost penetrated her body, making her skin look even more icy and graceful, without a speck of dust.

……

"Plum girl."

Xiao Xiao murmured softly.

……

The girl Mei, who was standing quietly in the air, bowed to Xiao Xiao.

The smooth movement leads to the mottled flow of light and shadow, and the plum fragrance in the air becomes more fragrant and elegant, like a wonderful dream, making people fall asleep and unwilling to wake up.

……

Mei's eyelids are slightly drooped, and her expression is soft and gentle.

The human being in front of her was beyond her comprehension, so she would rather keep a low profile.

She had survived a near-death experience to transform into a human, and now that she was finally on the right path in her cultivation, she became even more cautious, not wanting to make any wrong steps.

Besides, her demonic power is now greatly damaged and she can barely maintain her physical body. This is her most vulnerable moment.

Now I don’t have any strength to be so presumptuous.

If she lost her life because of this, even if she turned into a ghost, she would not be able to quell the resentment burning in her heart.

……

"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."

Mei Nu bowed to Xiao Xiao gracefully again.

Can't you speak?
Or is the injury too severe?

……

Mei's dire condition was obvious.

Such a weak demonic energy cannot even solidify the body.

Although such a plum girl adds a sense of ethereality, she is like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. Although it is dreamy and beautiful, it will break at the slightest touch.

Fragile and vulnerable.

……

Xiao Xiao didn't ask too many questions, he was just curious about the strangeness of this branch.

Now that he saw Mei, he felt like he had won a grand prize by opening a gift package.

After all, Mei Nu is really a very beautiful monster that is not easy to meet.

You know, for a plant-based monster to cultivate to the point where it can transform into a human, it takes not just a few decades or hundreds of years. It takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

……

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao smiled.

This time it's all thanks to the boss.

If Zhang Bo hadn't stepped on the branch, he really wouldn't have noticed the strangeness of the branch.

Not to mention picking it up and bringing it back to the dormitory.

Then, wouldn't he miss the opportunity to meet the beautiful girl in front of him?
……

That would definitely be a huge pity.
