Chapter 1429 – Tree of Life (3)

“Thank you.” Shen Yanxiao imitated Duan Xue’s smile perfectly.

“However I say, are you really fine with this? I recently heard that the Elf King will be choosing a wife soon. If you

are selected…” Shi Dan didn’t finish her words; however, everyone knew that once the Elf King made his choice,

there was no room for change.

In Shi Dan’s view, Duan Xue’s temper was gentle, her appearance was also very beautiful, and her manners were

dignified. Among the Lady Saints, she was truly top-notch, and therefore her chances of winning were very high.

“There are a lot of Lady Saints who are better than me, therefore it is unlikely I’ll be chosen.” Shen Yanxiao smiled.

Don’t joke around. She had already selected Duan Xue to be her third aunt candidate (Shen Jing’s wife). How could

she let the Elf King snatch her away?

“Just pay more attention. Once the Elf King finally chooses his wife, then you can make your status with your little

lover public.” Shi Dan smiled as she opened her mouth. Her nature was very lively; hence, she was really fond of

Duan Xue’s gentle and tender womanly characteristics.

The Lady Saints could not marry anyone before the Elf King chose his wife; however, as long as the Elf King got

married, they could then marry any male elf among the Silvermoon Guards.

After passing two more checkpoints with Shi Dan, the spirit beast and the elves did not find anything abnormal

about Shen Yanxiao.

After entering into the plantation of the Tree of Life, Shen Yanxiao could now clearly see the gigantic tree standing

before her eyes. At a glance, she could not see the top of the tree.

No wonder even Taotie said that the Tree of Life was very huge.

After getting closer to the Tree of Life, Shen Yanxiao could feel the purest life force rushing in the air. The life force

in here was purer than on the seventh floor of the Pure Spirit Tower.

Duan Xue and Shi Dan were both in charge of watering the Tree of Life. They would get water from the Moonlight

Spring beside the Tree of Life and pour it onto the roots of the Tree of Life. Because the Tree of Life was very large,

there were over ten Lady Saints responsible for watering it alone.

Shen Yanxiao played the role of Duan Xue with all her heart. She knew that in the event that any mistake occurred,

not only would she be unlucky, even Duan Xue would be implicated.

Looking closely at the Tree of Life, Shen Yanxiao truly felt that it was really huge. At the same time, she carefully

observed the situation of the Tree of Life. On the high branches, she acutely found a few withered leaves.

This situation was absolutely not normal for the Tree of Life.

“Have you noticed it?” Shi Dan, who was standing beside Shen Yanxiao, also looked at the few withered leaves.

“What?” Shen Yanxiao asked.

Shi Dan whispered, “The Tree of Life seems to be sick.”

“Why do you say so?”

Shi Dan looked around. When she saw that the other Lady Saints were busy with their own things, she then quietly

said, “The Tree of Life has the most tenacious vitality of all the living things in the world. Its existence has stood

strong for thousands of years already. It existed even when the elves had not yet been born. However, even after so

many years, I have never heard of any signs of the Tree of Life withering. It was only in the last hundred years that

the Tree of Life started showing withered leaves, I heard…”

Shi Dan swallowed her saliva before continuing, “That, more than a hundred years ago, a magical beast hurt the

Tree of Life, hence the Tree of Life was in this situation. The magical beast is now locked up in the dungeon.”

Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Such a huge Tree of Life was definitely not something Taotie could harm with just

a single bite. She completely did not believe that the strangeness of the Tree of Life was due to Taotie
