Chapter 710: "Sacred Tree" Baimei and the First Active Greeting
The two timid monsters, Junren and Niu, shrank like quails the moment they met Pegasus's eyes.

As soon as they saw Xiao Xiao walk aside to answer the phone, the two monsters acted in tacit understanding and retreated back to their own residences almost at the same time.

……

The fungus man hid behind the stem.

Although we can't see its appearance, the trembling mushroom makes us know the fear in the heart of the little monster behind it.

……

The monkey hid behind the white plum tree.

But I can only take care of the beginning but not the end.

Nine tails dangled outside.

……

Xiao Xiao could vaguely hear the Frog God educating the monkey with a very "hateful" tone, as well as the monkey's timid and aggrieved voice.

……

When Xiao Xiao looked up at the white plum blossoms that were still in full bloom, the plum girl appeared on the branch.

It should have been a sudden appearance, but it somehow made people feel it was natural.

It seemed as if the monster had always been there, but I just hadn't discovered it before.

……

After Mei Nu bowed to Xiao Xiao, she disappeared silently like a phantom in light and shadow.

But the white plum blossoms on the tree rustled, as if saying goodbye to Xiao Xiao.

……

Sniffing the pleasant cool fragrance of plum blossoms in the air, Xiao Xiao felt a refreshing feeling of comfort all over his body.

……

Because of the Plum Girl, there is no longer a fixed flowering period for this white plum tree.

It’s May now, but the scenes of “piling up snow and jade” have never changed.

It seemed that there was a hint of coolness in that corner.

As a result, there was not much heat in the entire yard.

……

The Xiao family was amazed at the white plum tree, especially the two old people, who almost regarded it as a sacred tree.

Although Xiao's father and mother were not so exaggerated, they were almost as meticulous in treating Bai Mei as the two old people.

Xiao Xiao remembered his mother telling him about her accidental discovery in a rare excited tone.

……

The scent of white plum blossoms is magical and can only be smelled in the yard and their house.

You can't smell the rich plum fragrance just through the door.

……

Xiao's mother was like a child who had made a great discovery, repeatedly talking about how she felt at the time.

"Amazing."

“I tried many times.”

"As long as you walk out of the gate of the yard, you really can't smell the fragrance of plum blossoms at all."

"how did you do that?"

"It's incredible."

……

Because of this discovery, Xiao's mother and even Xiao's father did the same as the two elders of the Xiao family, and they were just short of worshipping this white plum tree.

According to the grandmother of the Xiao family, "This white plum tree blesses their Xiao family."

……

Even every time Xiao Xiao went home later, he would be repeatedly reminded by the Xiao family to be careful not to "collide" with the white plum tree.

Xiao Xiao always nodded with a smile.

……

At first, he just thought that the white plum blossoms blooming so out of season would arouse other people's curiosity, and it would be a bit of a headache if it caused unnecessary trouble.

So, he asked Mei Nu to control the spread of the fragrance.

Unexpectedly, Xiao's mother discovered this by accident.

Although he had not intended to keep it secret for long, he was still somewhat surprised to be discovered so soon.

……

As for the fact that the Xiao family treated the white plum tree as a sacred tree, Xiao Xiao felt a little amused, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was somewhat appropriate.

Mei Nu is a monster that was transformed after a thunderstorm.

With the white plum tree of the plum girl, in a sense, it is indeed a sacred tree.

……

Moreover, the miraculous appearance of Baimei again made the Xiao family even more certain of their position of Baimei as the sacred tree.

……

It wasn't obvious before, and the Xiao family hadn't noticed it yet.

But as the weather got warmer day by day, the constant coolness in the yard caught the attention of the Xiao family.

……

Although the Xiao family's yard would not be too hot in previous years because of the shelter of the house.

But that was only relative to the scorching asphalt road outside.

And there are a few hours a day when the sun can shine directly into the yard. …

However, this year, even though it is already May, there is no feeling of stuffiness in the yard. The air is always cool and has the rich fragrance of cold plum blossoms.

Just like the summer resorts they had visited before.

However, the out-of-season plum fragrance adds a sense of tranquility and quietness.

……

The Xiao family members all looked at Bai Mei with doubt.

……

Their guess was correct.

The closer we get to the white plum blossoms, the cooler the air becomes.

……

“It’s like it’s creating the right temperature for itself to bloom.”

Mother Xiao was filled with emotion.

……

As if he was thinking too much at once, Xiao Xiao smiled and took one last look at Tianma.

The monster had already found a corner and lay down, with his eyes half-closed and his usual lazy attitude.

……

Xiao Xiao pushed the door open and walked out.

When he arrived at the mall, Xiao Xiao randomly chose a direction and walked slowly.

The huge shopping mall is bright and clean, and dynamic pop music fills the air.

Because it is a weekday, there are not many customers at this time.

……

In fact, there is nothing to worry about when it comes to gifts for adults.

He came to the mall mainly to pick out a gift for Xiao Lingling.

……

Xiao Xiao has also thought of a gift.

It's a plush toy.

He remembered the way the girl rubbed Tianma with a contented look on her face, and he knew that she must like the fluffy doll very much.

……

Xiao Xiao quickly found a store full of stuffed toys.

There were two pairs of mother and daughter choosing dolls inside.

The two waiters were each followed by a mother and daughter.

……

If the cashier at the door hadn't called out "welcome", no one inside would have noticed Xiao Xiao's arrival.

……

Xiao Xiao indicated that he could choose it by himself.

The two waiters smiled at him apologetically.

……

To be honest, this is Xiao Xiao’s first time to come to a store that sells plush toys.

I'm still a little curious.

Because he had a legitimate reason - the little bell was a gift, so he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at them one by one very carefully.

……

Well, this looks good.

Yeah, this one is cute too.

Oh, that...

Xiao Xiao paused as he was about to reach out his hand, then continued to reach out and pinch the doll's ears as if nothing had happened.

It feels good in hand.

……

"Have a drink~"

A hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Xiao's ears.

Xiao Xiao smiled, but when he turned around, his mouth corners were straightened and his face was full of confusion.

……

"Have a drink~"

The young man behind him smiled happily, with a hint of joy of a successful prank between his brows.

……

"Pipa ghost."

Xiao Xiao casually took out the earphones and put them in his ears, "Did you come over to say hello just because you saw me?"

There was a clear smile and some surprise in the deliberately lowered voice.

Because this was the first time that the Pipa Ghost took the initiative to approach him.
