691 Strange Person
Xue Fanxin left her tent and was about to talk to everyone about her gains today. Unexpectedly, just as she left the tent, she met the man who had asked her for porridge previously.
She had a very strange feeling about this man, as if she was afraid of him, but she could not help but want to approach him at the same time. Even she did not understand what was going on.
“It’s you! Are you here to look for me?” Xue Fanxin took the initiative to greet him. Her attitude was very friendly, and she had no intention of deliberately pleasing the other party, she was just speaking as if she was talking to an ordinary friend.
The man’s deep eyes stared at Xue Fanxin, as if he was sizing her up, but he hid it very well. He said in a calm and vaguely superior tone, “I want to ask you for something.”
“What is it? Water or food?”
In Xue Fanxin’s opinion, what the man wanted from her was nothing more than water and food. After all, these two things were what the desert lacked the most.
However, the outcome was unexpected.
The man shook his head and said bluntly, “Previously, you took out a leaf to save that subordinate. I want the same leaf.”
“What did you say?” Xue Fanxin was shocked. She had not expected the man to make such a request. Although he did not say that he wanted the leaf of the Tree of Life, the meaning in his words was clear.
When she saved Little Jiu, she had indeed used a leaf from the Tree of Life, but she had done it very secretly. Even Heiyue and the others did not know that she had used the leaf of the Tree of Life to save Little Jiu. They had not even seen the shadow of the leaf. How had this man found out?
“Don’t worry. I don’t mean anything else, nor will I ask for more from you. I just want a leaf. Similarly, I’ll give you something of equal value in exchange.”
Xue Fanxin knew that she should reject the man’s request, but she nodded in confusion and agreed instead. “Alright, I’ll give you a leaf.”
“Then, thank you!”
Xue Fanxin did not say anything else. She let her divine sense enter the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel’s space and plucked a leaf from the Tree of Life. Then, she brought it out of the space and handed it to the man.
After the man took the leaf from the Tree of Life, he took a look and revealed a mysterious smile. “It’s indeed it.”
He had not expected someone in this world to be able to plant the Tree of Life. This girl was not simple.
“You know what leaf this is, right?” Xue Fanxin asked, not saying that it was the leaf from the Tree of Life.
“Yes, I know what leaf it is. I’ll take the leaf and I’ll give you something of equal value in three days’ time.” The man did not say much to Xue Fanxin after that. He put away the leaf of the Tree of Life and turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped and turned back slightly to say to Xue Fanxin, “In the future, don’t pluck this thing and give it to others. Otherwise, everyone in the world will know that you have a tree planted on you.”
???? ??????? ?????? ????? ?? ?????-???.???
It was obvious that the leaf had just been plucked from the tree. If someone who knew their stuff found out and investigated, the outcome would not be pleasant.
Hearing the man’s reminder, Xue Fanxin realized that she had neglected this serious detail. Just as she was about to thank the man, she realized that he had already disappeared.
“What a strange person.”
This person knew that there was a Tree of Life planted in her body. She hoped that he would not be greedy.
However, she would always inexplicably believe this strange man and believe that he had no ill will or greed towards her.
