Chapter 1428 – Tree of Life (2)
“Xiu, do you think that those beasts will find some abnormality in me?” Before the second checkpoint, a certain
disguised little demon stopped her movements as she anxiously asked Xiu, her “about-to-be fiance” that she had
swindled just recently.
‘With me around, you can rest assured.’ Xiu said, reassuring Shen Yanxiao.
That’s right.
Right from the start, the one standing before the checkpoint was not Duan Xue but Shen Yanxiao whose appearance
had been altered by Xiu’s power.
It would be too difficult to sneak into the Tree of Life. And even if Shen Yanxiao could enter every corner of the
Tree of Life’s area, it did not mean that she could find Wen Ya right away. After all, Duan Xue had said that the Elf
King would only appear occasionally. Moreover, this had happened during the day.
If Shen Yanxiao wanted to sneak in at night, she could only go to the residence of the Elf King. However, that place
was an absolutely restricted area. Even Duan Xue, in her more than a month of staying here, was still incapable of
comprehending the situation in that place.
As a result, Shen Yanxiao could only think of such a thrilling method.
Exchange her identity with Duan Xue!
Shen Yanxiao would act as Duan Xue and enter the Tree of Life, and from there, she would wait for an opportunity
to move.
While Duan Xue would act as Shen Yanxiao and take her responsibility during this time.
Before leaving, Shen Yanxiao had already told the well-behaved Taotie to cooperate with Duan Xue. In addition,
she also gave Taotie the food inside her storage ring and asked him to take care not to be notice by Duan Xue and
An Ran while eating.
After everything was ready, with the help of Xiu, Shen Yanxiao changed her appearance to Duan Xue. Xiu had even
gone as far as altering her aura to be similar to that of Duan Xue. Even Vermillion Bird could not detect anything
abnormal.
“Then I shall go.” Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and walked towards the second checkpoint.
However, right at this moment, she suddenly felt an unfamiliar aura passing over her.
“Duan Xue!” A pretty female elf suddenly came to Shen Yanxiao’s side.
Shen Yanxiao was slightly distracted before looking at the elf.
She had previously seen this elf before. The first time she met Duan Xue in the Moonshine City, this elf was beside
her.
Duan Xue previously said that the Lady Saints’ room had two people staying together, and the allocation of rooms
was in accordance with the combination of people that took care of the Tree of Life. This elf before her should be
the one called Shi Dan, who was the partner of Duan Xue in looking after the Tree of Life.
“Little Dan? Didn’t you return earlier?” Shen Yanxiao’s heart was a little surprised. Always, Duan Xue would go
back only during this time of the day because she would meet with her a bit in the evening. By this time, the other
Lady Saints should have already passed the checkpoints.
So how come Shi Dan was still here?
Shi Dan smiled and looked at Duan Xue, “I was waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me?” Shen Yanxiao was a bit puzzled. She had not heard Duan Xue saying that she had made such
arrangement with Shi Dan.
“Hehe, did Duan Xue go to meet her little lover again today? You, really! When will you let me meet him? I can
also check on him for you.” Shi Dan took Shen Yanxiao’s hand and said smilingly.
What little lover?!
Shen Yanxiao’s face resembled the character 囧
Meanwhile Xiu, who was in her heart lake, slightly raised his eyebrow.
“You don’t need to be so shy. Didn’t I promise you I wouldn’t tell the other elves? You see, everytime you go out to
buy, you will always come back very late. I was afraid that other elves might notice, that’s why I waited for you to
return so that we can go back together.” Shi Dan’s smile completely lacked any scheming; she was clearly very fond
of Duan Xue.
Shen Yanxiao immediately guessed the mystery.
It was presumed that when Shi Dan discovered that Duan Xue was always the last one to go back, Duan Xue might
have casually used the excuse of “meeting her little lover” to fool her previously.
