Chapter 1428: Tree of Life (2)

“Xiu, do you think those spirit beasts will notice my abnormality?” Before the second round of inspection, a certain little devil in disguise stopped and asked her quasi ‘fiance’ in the heart lake with a guilty conscience.

“You can rest assured with me here.” Xiu reassured Shen Yanxiao.

That’s right.

The one standing in front of the checkpoint was not Duan Xue, but Shen Yanxiao in disguise.

It was too difficult to sneak into the Tree of Life. Even if Shen Yanxiao had the confidence to enter the surroundings of the Tree of Life, she did not have the confidence to look for Wen Ya. After all, Duan Xue mentioned that the Elf King would occasionally appear during the day.

If Shen Yanxiao were to sneak in at night, she could only go to the Elf King’s residence. However, that was an absolute restricted area, and Duan Xue had not been able to figure out the situation there for more than a month.

Therefore, Shen Yanxiao could only think of a horrifying method.

Exchange identities with Duan Xue!

Shen Yanxiao would transform into Duan Xue and enter the surroundings of the Tree of Life, waiting for an opportunity for occur.

During this period, Duan Xue would disguise herself as Shen Yanxiao and guard Taotie.

Before she left, Shen Yanxiao had instructed Taotie to cooperate with Duan Xue. Moreover, she had given Taotie the interspatial ring that contained food and told him to eat it by himself when Duan Xue and An Ran were not paying attention.

After everything was prepared, Shen Yanxiao transformed into Duan Xue with Xiu’s help. Xiu could even change her aura, even Vermilion Bird could not detect any abnormalities.

“Then I shall go.” Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and walked towards the second checkpoint.

However, at that very moment, she suddenly sensed an unfamiliar aura approaching her.

“Duan Xue!” A pretty female elf suddenly dashed to Shen Yanxiao’s side.

Shen Yanxiao was surprised and looked at the elf.

She had seen this elf before. He was the elf who stood by Duan Xue’s side when they met in Moonshine City.

Duan Xue mentioned that the rooms of Saintnesses were divided into two types according to the arrangement of the Tree of Life. The elf in front of her was called Shi Dan, and she was Duan Xue’s partner to take care of the Tree of Life.

“Xiao Dan? You didn’t go back?” Shen Yanxiao was surprised. Every time Duan Xue went back, she would meet with her at a later time. At that time, the other Saintesses should have passed all the checkpoints.

Why was Shi Dan still here?

Shi Dan looked at Duan Xue with a smile. “I was waiting for you.”

“Waiting for me?” Shen Yanxiao was puzzled. She had not heard Duan Xue mention that there was such an agreement between her and Shi Dan.

“Hehe, Duan Xue, did you meet with your little lover today? Seriously, when are you going to let me meet him? I can also keep an eye on him for you.” Shi Dan held Shen Yanxiao’s hand and chuckled.

What, a lover?!

Shen Yanxiao was speechless.

Xiu raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t be so shy. Didn’t I promise you not to tell the other elves? You come back so late every time you go out to purchase items. I was afraid that the other elves would discover something, so I waited here for you to go back with me.” Shi Dan’s smile was sincere. She was doing this for Duan Xue’s sake.

Shen Yanxiao soon guessed why this was happening.

She reckoned that Duan Xue was discovered by Shi Dan, as she was always the last to return. Therefore, she casually found an excuse to meet her ‘lover’ and fooled her.
