Chapter 7, misunderstandings resolved

Tang Miao felt a jolt of spirit, his whole body relaxed, and he burst into a triumphant laugh.

If you remain quiet, I will take care of it for you

What kind of scene would it be if the words "Tang Miao was here" were engraved on the phoenix feather? The more Tang Miao thought about it, the more amused she became, and she burst into laughter.

Tang Miao was furious, his hands clenched into fists, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. He wished he could tear Huang Yu into eight pieces.

The branches that were entangled around her arms loosened, allowing her to fall onto the stone bed. Tang Miao sprang up, glaring at the tree branch with her hands on her hips, and shouted: "If you dare not fulfill your promises, then do not pretend to agree! Are you a man for secretly resorting to underhanded tactics?"

Tang Miao was stunned, pointing at Huang Yu and stammering, "You, you, you are that tree?!"

The enormous phoenix tree emitted specks of green light. Under the sunlight, it appeared dreamlike and ethereal. Where the green light converged, the form of the phoenix's feathers became visible, with its slightly squinted green eyes pure as crystal and its skin nearly transparent

The sunlight streaming down illuminated her skin, revealing every detail, while her golden hair exuded a sense of youthful exuberance. The two slender eyebrows, resembling arrow bamboo leaves, danced lively on her face. Previously, Huang Yu thought tranquility was beautiful, but she suddenly found herself quite fond of Tang Miao's cheerful demeanor. He inexplicably asked, "Don't you prefer to be down-to-earth? Would you like to join me in the wilderness tonight?"

The languid voice of Huang Yu echoed in the hollow cave. Tang Miao widened her eyes and cautiously looked around. She still did not see the figure of Huang Yu.

Did I wake you up? Did I wake a tree? Ha! I wake you up, and this is how you treat me? Don't forget that you promised me!" Tang Miao rolled her eyes.

Are you in danger? You are not injured, are you

"Hmm, I promise I won't wake you up again!" Tang Miao nodded vigorously, repeatedly reminding herself to be sensible and not to provoke trouble.

Tang Miao unconsciously lifted her head slightly, and a mouthful of turbid air was expelled from her throat. With a soft "pop," the leaf that had sealed her mouth was blown away by her.

The rays of sunlight formed in the cave slowly shifted direction over time. Tang Miao gradually awoke, and the moment she opened her eyes, she敏感ly noticed that a leaf was still stuck to her mouth. She cautiously gazed at the strange tree in front of her and carefully reached out to feel the leaf on her mouth. It seemed as if it had grown on her face; without needing to look, Tang Miao knew that at this moment, she resembled someone wearing an oversized mask.

She who is barefoot is not afraid of those who wear shoes. A celestial being like Huang Yu is willing to make a promise to her, to act as her bodyguard, and to assist her in cultivating her spiritual power, isn't it because he has recognized her potential to control water? If she cannot win, can't she resort to trickery?

Huang Yu was slightly taken aback, turned around and walked to her side, asking in confusion: "Are you really angry?"

Tang Miao's face turned red as she stretched out her hand and said, "I am hungry and have no strength left"

With an elegant gesture, she lightly brushed her sleeve and said calmly, "I told you long ago, I am a Wood Fairy. My true form is that of a Phoenix Divine Tree"

The spiritual silk net divides the sea of consciousness into countless small squares, resembling rows of ridges. The parched sea of consciousness suddenly sparkles with a green light, flowing with a shallow glimmer of water.

In an instant, the strands of spiritual energy drifting in Tang Miao's sea of consciousness grew wildly, forming a net. The web of spiritual energy floated on the surface of the sea of consciousness, rising and falling with each movement, then drifting again.

Huang Yu turned slightly to avoid the sunlight streaming in and said nonchalantly, "You woke me up."

Tang Miao's sudden change in attitude left Huang Yu greatly puzzled. He glanced at Tang Miao, then at the fire vine in his hand, and a glimmer of understanding appeared in his eyes. ... Teasing this little mortal fairy is really ... ! ... quite enjoyable. ! He suppressed the urge to burst into laughter, raising his hand to flick the fire vine, which emitted a crisp sound like popping beans.

Dang Miao, suspended in mid-air, let out several muffled groans before struggling to the point of exhaustion. The cave was so silent that even the sound of the wind could not be heard. She wanted to curse but could not open her mouth. She wanted to strike but could not even lift her arms. A heart full of grievance, helplessness, and anger made her feel suffocated. A surge of blood suddenly rushed to her head. Dang Miao's head buzzed, and she fell into a meditative state.

Her spiritual energy fluctuations once again awakened Huang Yu. He gazed in astonishment at Tang Miao, who was suspended before him, unable to believe that she could enter meditation so single-mindedly at such a moment.

Tang Miao smiled with narrowed eyes and nodded vigorously: "Great! It won't be fun for me to stay alone in the cave at night!"

Tang Miao was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and lunged at Huang Yu, furiously punching him: "You tricked me! How dare you trick me!"

Tang Miaose shrank back, struggling to control the impulse to rush forward and cling to Huang Yu's thigh, begging for mercy. Her heart was filled with both fear and indignation; if it came to it, she might as well die! A surge of solitary courage supported her as she turned around and said with a trembling voice: "I am not afraid!"

The fire vine in his hand was over 1 zhang long and as thick as a child's arm, covered with dense sharp spikes. ... If this guy were to strike me with it ... . ... Tang Miao trembled in fear, all his bravado dissipating.

The crimson garments fluttered in the sunlight, and the enchanting green eyes sparkled brightly, while the fragrance of grass and trees filled the cave... He is truly handsome. Tang Miao gazed in a daze, coming to a halt.

The taste of the vine was like sugarcane, and Tang Miao savored a hint of sweetness. She had been misunderstanding him all along. Was it because she had been tearing leaves during the day and wanted to carve words on the tree that had annoyed him? She quietly apologized: "I’m sorry, I was carving words on the tree during the day, oh no, I meant on you."

As a thought stirred, a purple-red flower on the branch struck Tang Miao's forehead like lightning. The exceptionally pure wood spirit power of the phoenix feather surged directly into Tang Miao's sea of consciousness, allowing the web of spiritual power to settle steadily upon it.

The thousand-year-old tree spirit has become sentient? Tang Miao realized this and jumped up three zhang high, standing on the stone bed and looking down at Huang Yu, filled with anger: "On what grounds do you seal my mouth with leaves? On what grounds do you hang me up? Is it fun to play tricks and act mysterious?"

Tang Miao said word by word: "If you do not appear again, I swear I will never cultivate spiritual power. Let us all die of thirst here together!"

A sudden burst of green light erupted before him, causing Tang Miao to crouch down in fright, his bravado instantly dissipating, and without a second thought, he shrank into the corner.

She pedaled her legs desperately, her small face flushed with anger. Even she, no matter how foolish, could see that it was Huang Yu who was secretly causing trouble.

Haha! Huang Yu laughed heartily as he spun around and stepped back, raising his face to reveal an incredibly radiant smile. He did not use any spiritual power, skillfully dodging Tang Miao's pursuit while not forgetting to stuff a piece of vine into his mouth, chewing it with satisfaction, "If you don't want to eat, that's fine! Idiot!"

Huang Yu smiled faintly and approached Tang Miao while holding the fire vine: "It is good that you realize your mistake. The summer sun in the Eastern Wilderness is too strong, and there is almost no water here. I need to absorb the moonlight at night to replenish my spiritual energy. I sleep during the day. If you prefer to sleep at night, then please be a bit quieter during the day"

Tang Miao spoke while her eyes were fixed on the cave, trying to see clearly where the phoenix feather was hidden. A green shadow flickered before her, and before Tang Miao could let out a scream, a leaf once again accurately covered her mouth. The phoenix tree extended a branch to entangle her, instantly lifting Tang Miao into the air.

Seeing the fear in Tang Miao's eyes, Huang Yu blinked and said, "Although its taste is not very good, let's make do with it a bit in the Eastern Wilderness"

With a flick of her fingers, she severed a section of the fire vine, and with a smile over her shoulder, Huang Yu said: "Let me let you taste the flavor of the fire vine"

Tang Miao was taken aback and excitedly patted his chest, accusingly saying: "My dear heart has suffered a severe shock! One must understand that a person can easily be scared into idiocy!"

Huang Yu looked her up and down, then walked away without turning back towards the place where the fire vine was growing: "Idiot!"

Under the eaves, one must bow their head. She cannot even see where he is, how can she still raise her head proudly and say no? Tang Miao nodded

I have not yet had enough sleep; when the moon rises, I will let you go! Huang Yu stifled a yawn; the summer afternoon truly makes one feel weary! He no longer paid any attention to Tang Miao and fell back into a deep slumber.

Huang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This girl was trembling all over with fear, yet she still dared to act brave. The outer skin of the fire vine in his hand had already cracked open during the shaking, revealing the bluish-white vine fibers inside. He broke off a section and held it out in front of Tang Miao, unable to suppress his amusement: "Give it a try!"

Huang Yu placed a piece of vine fiber in her hand and said: "Eat this, it is all I can find for now. I will go to the wilderness tonight to take a look; you are a mortal immortal, perhaps you can eat some of the things found in the wilderness."

The leaves on her lips gently fell at the moment she nodded. Tang Miao, whose mouth had regained its freedom, still curled up in the corner of the stone bed, glaring at the tree that had taken a defensive stance, with a surge of anger rising to her head. It was all this man's fault; clearly, he was in the cave yet watched her being bullied by a strange tree. He was enjoying her misfortune, wasn't he?

She stepped back in terror and murmured, "Is it not acceptable for me to admit my mistake?"
