Chapter 483 Invitation

That day, there were lightning, thunder and heavy rain.

The thick water vapor made the whole world hazy and blurry.

……

In a remote forest, Xiao Xiao held an umbrella in one hand and opened a rectangular box in the other.

Inside was a charred branch.

"Plum girl."

Xiao Xiao called softly.

……

It was very quiet around, with only the sound of "clattering" rain filling the entire world.

In the face of such mighty power from heaven and earth, all other sounds seemed to be swallowed up.

However, the moment Xiao Xiao finished speaking, a halo like water waves suddenly spread from the ordinary branches.

As the tip of the finger moves in and out, a faint cool fragrance of plum blossoms emanates.

Suddenly, the light became brighter.

Xiao Xiao subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw, not surprisingly, Mei Girl, who was as pretty as the autumn moon and as graceful as the clear sky.

Her skin is as white as ice and as tender as a virgin.

Xiao Xiao felt astonished once again.

……

The plum girl bowed with her skirt lowered and smiled slightly.

The most beautiful thing about this quiet girl is her gentleness when she lowers her head.

……

"Ms. Mei, if you don't have anywhere you want to go...would you like to come to my house?"

Xiao Xiao considered his words for a moment and decided to simply and bluntly say it.

……

Mei looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion.

Go to the home of this human being in front of you?
……

"Ms. Mei, your true form is the white plum."

Xiao Xiao's lips curled slightly, with a faint smile and a bit of absent-mindedness in his eyes, as if he was amazed and sighing.

……

Xiao Xiao had seen the true form of the plum girl in his previous dream. It was a huge plum tree with tangled roots and thin and tall branches.

When it is in full bloom, the tree is full of flowers, and the soft yet translucent petals are layered on top of each other, so pure and beautiful that they seem to embrace all the light from the sky and the moon.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, Xiao Xiao felt for the first time that the so-called beauty that made the heaven and earth pale in comparison and the sun and moon lose their luster mentioned again and again in the novel was not so unrealistic.

……

"And there is a white plum tree in my yard."

Xiao Xiao knew that the best way for the plum girl, who now had only one branch left, to recover was to find a plum tree that was the same as her original body to possess.

It would be even better if this white plum tree still had some spirituality.

This can save it a lot of effort.

Otherwise, it would take a lot of extra time for the remaining branch to grow into a plum tree again, even with the blessing of demonic power.

……

Mei looked at the human in front of her in surprise, and quickly lowered her eyelids to hide the hidden vigilance in her eyes.

It didn't know. It had never revealed its true form in front of the human in front of it. How did this human know that its true form was a white plum tree?

However, Xiao Xiao’s subsequent words made it quite excited.

Now, it is indeed eager to find a white plum tree to possess.

However, its magical power is weak now, and it doesn't know when it will be able to find the white plum that satisfies it on its own.
……

Although the human in front of it had never directly demonstrated its strength, it was too cautious to be careless.

After all, this human can see it.

It has an intuitive fear and a vague dread of the human being in front of it.

Therefore, it is unwilling to have any conflict with this human being.

……

But, do I really want to live in the home of this human in front of me?

Mei frowned her delicate brows and became a little hesitant.

What is this human in front of me paying attention to?
Will he hurt it?

……

Mei Nu couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly and look at Xiao Xiao.

Unexpectedly, I looked into a pair of deep and gentle eyes.

Clean and clear, without a trace of haze or turbidity. Without the greed, desire, or intention and calculation that it had seen in the eyes of some humans and that it disliked so much.

But there was a hint of smile hidden in it.

……

Mei girl was inexplicably shy, a faint blush gradually spread upwards from her slender, snow-white neck, and her small earlobes were also stained with a hint of rosy red.

Her flawless jade-like cheeks also revealed a blush that gradually darkened, as if they were covered with a layer of rouge.

But it also gives me a sense of security.

The human in front of it really seemed to have no ill will towards it.

……

Mei Nu lowered her head and moved her gaze from the face of the human in front of her to the bottom. The box in Xiao Xiao's hand came into her sight.

It couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly found itself somewhat funny.

What on earth are you worrying about?

Hasn't it been caught by this human a long time ago?

……

If this human had bad intentions, why would he go through the trouble of asking for its opinion?

Now it has absolutely no ability to resist or even escape.

If this human has no ill intentions, then why not live in his home?

There's no place you have to go anyway.

What's more, he has a white plum tree at home.

……

Mei Nu also lived in the yard of a human's house before.

Although there are things about humans that are annoying.

But looking at the humans living in the house and their joys and sorrows, Mei felt that she still liked living with humans.

It likes humans.

……

"Ms. Mei, do you want to come to my house?"

"Wow~"

The heavy sound of rain completely covered up Xiao Xiao's voice, but Xiao Xiao repeated his previous words and didn't say anything else. He just smiled and looked at Mei Nu seriously.

After patiently giving Ms. Mei some time to think, he extended the invitation again.

Then he saw Mei Nu nodded slightly.

A happy smile slowly spread across Xiao Xiao's face.

……

Since Miss Mei agreed to his proposal, Xiao Xiao decided to do it today.

Even though it was raining heavily and the sky was dark, Xiao Xiao decided to go home now.

……

The rain was heavy and fast, splashing water all over the hard concrete ground, causing slight pain when it hit my body.

There were hardly any people on campus.

Occasionally one or two students passed by, also with the brim of their umbrellas lowered, concentrating on the road beneath their feet.

……

No one noticed that Xiao Xiao's trouser legs were as dry as before, without any signs of wetness.

He didn't like the feeling of wet fabric sticking to his ankles.

Wet and sticky.

Therefore, taking advantage of the cover of water vapor, Xiao Xiao used his spiritual power to block the splashing rain.

……

Xiao Xiao strolled leisurely in the heavy rain, feeling quite comfortable.

The non-stop, rhythmic sound of rain in his ears put him in a good mood.

Even though the sky was dark, the fresh smell of water vapor gave him a bright feeling.

……

Xiao Xiao did not take the subway but chose the bus.

This way you can enjoy the scenery along the way.

There were only a few people in the car. The bright lights made the car feel even more empty.

Xiao Xiao chose a seat in the back row by the window.

He opened the window, and instantly, a strong wind carrying rain blew towards him.

Xiao Xiao did not dodge, letting the raindrops hit his outward-facing face, which was extremely cool and comfortable.
