"Big brother, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me with such a weird expression!"

The girl blinked her watery eyes, looked at Ye Chenfeng, who was staring at her with a heated gaze, and asked coquettishly.

"Ugh …" "It's nothing!" Ye Zichen rubbed his nose awkwardly, then withdrew his gaze and asked, "Little girl, what's your name and where did you come from? This forest doesn't seem safe, why did you come here?"

As he spoke, Ye Zichen took out several stalks of thousand-year spiritual herbs that were emitting dense spiritual energy. He looked at the Spirit Fish, whose eyes were wide open and happy, and asked in an alluring manner.

"Big brother, why are you so good to me? You wouldn't have any intentions towards me right?"

Although the thousand year spirit grass in Ye Chenfeng's hands was a fatal temptation for spirit fishes, the ice fish's eyes revealed a hint of vigilance. He took two steps back and questioned.

"Spirit Fish, do you think I look like a bad person?" Ye Chenfeng's face turned slightly red as he smiled wryly, "I won't harm you because you're my benefactor. I just feel that you're very much like my sister, so I really want to take care of you and not let you go hungry."

"I'm like your sister …" The Spirit Fish blinked at Ye Zichen and said, "But we don't look like each other at all, how could I be like your sister?"

… ….

Ye Chenfeng was rendered speechless by the Spirit Fish's question, but he did not know how to explain it.

"Whatever, you don't want to follow me, so I won't force you. Come on, I'll give these seven thousand year spirit grasses to you." Ye Chenfeng knew that it would be counterproductive if he kept pestering her, so he did not force her. He gave her seven thousand year old spiritual herbs in a very generous manner.

"Spirit Fish, I need to heal. You can slowly eat those thousand year spirit herbs. After you finish eating, you can ask me for more." Ye Chenfeng said softly and continued to use the spirit grass to tempt her.

"Thank you!"

As she held the seven thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that Ye Chenfeng had given her, the spirit fish revealed a complicated expression. However, seven thousand-year-old spiritual herbs was too tempting. After hesitating for a while, she was unable to return them to Ye Chenfeng.

However, in her heart, she had a sliver of good impression of Ye Chenfeng.

"Boss, you really have a good method. I think that before long, this little girl will be able to follow you wholeheartedly." The chaos beast's mouth split open, and he sent mentally.

"Cut the crap. Protect me and warn me if there is any danger!"

With that, Ye Zichen consumed a Heaven Grade Soul Pill and sat down cross-legged on the ground. He cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind and controlled the twenty dao birth marks to heal his injuries bit by bit.

As Ye Zichen was healing himself, he ate three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. His face was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed, while the intoxicating look in his eyes from the spiritual fish did not leave, but curled up his body and fell asleep in the cave.

Just as the torrential rain gradually stopped, Ye Chenfeng, who had been healing himself, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the cave, revealing a hint of seriousness on his face.

At this moment, the Spirit Fish that was sleeping soundly was awakened. Its delicate face revealed a trace of fear as it anxiously said, "Big brother, this isn't good. That strange tree is chasing us. Let's hurry up and leave. If we're late, we might be in danger."

"Don't be afraid, follow me."

Ye Zichen slowly stood up and left the cave with the panic-stricken spirit fish, arriving in the wet valley. From afar, he saw a five-meter-tall ancient vine, which had a dragon-like shape around it, vaguely revealing an old face. There were ten or so spirit fruits on it, while the ancient trees that emitted a strong demonic aura fluctuated in the mud, approaching them at an extremely fast speed.

"Big brother, this tree demon is very powerful. Let's quickly flee."

Seeing the tree demon get closer, the spirit fish was so scared that its face turned pale. It quickly pulled on Ye Chenfeng's big hand and wanted to escape.

"Don't be afraid, leave everything to me!"

Although the Treant in front of him was extremely dangerous, and he was absolutely unable to defeat it with his current strength. However, he, who possessed the Primal Chaos Tree, was not afraid of the Treant.

"Abominable human, you dare steal my Spirit Fruit while I'm sleeping! I'll suck your blood dry and kill you!"

The tree demon let out a human-like howl. Thousands of pitch black roots broke through the hard ground and formed a prison, enveloping the two of them.

"Primordial Divine Wood!"

Just as the tree demon trapped the two of them and was about to launch a fatal attack, the Primal Chaos Wood appeared before Ye Chenfeng, releasing a dazzling multicolored light.

"What, what spirit wood is this?"

Upon seeing the Primal Chaos Wood, the Tree Demoness, who possessed intelligence, instinctively felt fear and momentarily forgot to attack.

"Primordial Divine Wood, devour!"

While the tree demon was terrified, the Primal Chaos Wood condensed a large amount of five-colored roots. They were like sharp swords as they stabbed into the prison of the tree roots and crazily hunted for the spirit energy contained within them.

In the blink of an eye, a large amount of tree roots had their spiritual energy sucked dry by the Primal Chaos Wood. They were completely withered and turned into dust by the gentle breeze, drifting along with the wind.

"Abominable humans, today I will let you go!"

Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Primal Chaos Wood, the treeman didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly retracted the remaining root hairs, swaying the lush treetop as he quickly fled.

"Big brother, you're so powerful. Such a powerful Tree Demon was actually beaten away by you."

When Spirit Fish saw the ferocious Tree Demon turn around and flee, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with some excitement.

The moment the Primal Chaos Wood appeared, the spirit fish was attracted by the spiritual energy it released. They were even closer to Ye Zichen, as if they didn't want to leave him.

"Let's go, Spirit Fish. We're leaving this place."

With that, Ye Zichen left the wet valley with the spirit fish and arrived at the outskirts of the forest.

At this time, as the sun was setting in the west, the sky gradually darkened and a dazzling sunset glow illuminated the entire sky.

"Big brother, it's getting late. I'm going back."

The Spirit Fish looked up at the sunset in the sky and said reluctantly.

"Spirit fish, this forest is a bit dangerous, but my injuries are too severe. I want to go back with you to heal, is that okay?" Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Big Brother, I'm only a service disciple in the Profound Nether Sect. If you follow me back, you might suffer." The Spirit Fish bit its lips as it spoke.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of suffering. I just want to find a safe place to treat my injuries." Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said.

After knowing the situation of the spirit fish in the Xuanming Sect, Ye Zichen secretly rejoiced. The worse her sense of belonging towards the Xuanming Sect, the more likely she was going to follow him.

"Alright, let's go!"

The Spirit Fish hesitated for a moment, then left the wet forest with Ye Chenfeng, returning to the Profound Nether Sect through the dark of the night.
