Dressed for a thousand years

Huai Yi stretched out his hand, and turned Qing Yao's face towards him.

It was a face that looked obedient without making any expressions.

Huai Yi curled up his fingers, and lightly brushed across Qing Yao's cheeks... the coolness reminded Huai Yi of the cypress trees in midsummer.

Although it cannot be eaten, a small cyan grain has a kind of sandalwood, which makes people feel calm.

Huai Yi sighed, let Qing Qiao sleep comfortably, and walked out of the room.

He thought for a long time, but decided not to let Qing Yao find out.It's a pity that Qing Yao is always too curious, so Huai Yi can only let him sleep for a while.

Huai Yi went to the cliff where their tree was planted.

The dim light penetrated through the thick clouds, making it almost impossible for him to absorb any essence.Huai Yi put his hands on the two intertwined trees and closed his eyes.

In the darkness, a faint green light flowed into Huai Yi's palm from the two intertwined trees like fluid.When Huai Yi put down his hands, the leaves of the tree seemed to be turning yellow, but Huai Yi's face became more radiant.

"Who!" A feeling of being watched made Huai Yi shout vigilantly, but he turned around but didn't see anyone.

Huai Yi's heart tightened, and he hurried to the bamboo building, entered Qing Yao's room, but saw that Qing Yao was still sleeping soundly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to leave, he saw Qing Yao's sleeves sticking out of the quilt.

He closed his eyes and left calmly.

Hearing the sound of Huai Yi's footsteps going away, Qing Qiao's head moved slightly, but he never opened his eyes.

In the middle of the night, the thick clouds in the sky finally moved, and the pattering raindrops hit the bamboo building, Qing Qiao slowly opened his eyes.

The rain didn't wet his clothes, but it still made him feel cold.The two trees on the cliff swayed slightly in the wind and rain. Qing Qiao touched the wet trunks and sat on the branches.

The leaves of the cypress tree are a bit sharp, even the green ones feel a little uncomfortable.

So how could Huai Yi feel comfortable?

"Bai Yao?"

As he was sitting, Qing Yao suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned his head and saw a small green snake coiled on one of his branches.

"Snake essence?" Qing Yao sized up the little snake. He had lived on this mountain for so long, but he had never seen such a species, so he couldn't help being curious.

"...It's the first time I've heard someone call me that." The little snake crawled towards Qing Yao in circles.

Qing Yao stretched out his hand to him, and the little snake walked up and down the branch for a while, but then walked away.It coiled itself on a branch not far from Qing Yao's face, and stood up facing Qing Yao.

"It's raining." The little snake seemed to have just woken up, and when a drop of rain fell on it, he said belatedly.

"That's right." Qing Yao nodded.

"Hmm... This is the first time I've seen a dryad waiting for the rain?" The little snake lazily curled itself up in the middle of a circle of relatively wide leaves.Although he is cold-blooded and doesn't mind being wet, he doesn't like the feeling of his scales getting wet.

"Why do you think he destroyed our tree?" Qing Yao was puzzled, as if asking out of nowhere.

He felt that even if Huai Yi destroyed his tree, he could understand it.But what he saw last night... Huai Yi was absorbing the essence of two trees.

Although this can greatly increase his skill, the original bodies of both of them will wither in the end.

No matter how strong the skill is, what can we do if we lose our original source?Qing Yao didn't understand.

"Destroy your tree?" The little snake moved and circled around the branch where he was. "Are these two trees?"

"Hmm." Qing Yao said.

"Really," the little snake resumed his lazy look, and suggested, "Since it's strange, you might as well go and see what he's doing."

"How?" Qing Yao asked strangely.

"Follow me." Little Snake said softly, with a hook at the end.

Xiao Snake's casual words moved Qing Yao's heart.

He stayed with Huai Yi for too long, so long that his breath almost merged.Even if he is standing behind Huai Yi, as long as there is not much movement, Huai Yi will not notice.

************************************************** ***************

Qing Yao didn't go back all night, Huai Yi didn't notice.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just a little bright, Huai Yi went out.

Qing Yao stood on the path not far away and waited for him, followed him smoothly, climbed over several mountains all the way, and walked to the path on the other side.

Huai Yi sat on a tree and chose a branch that was neither too high nor too low, so that people walking far away could see his legs when he sat on it.

Qing Yao stood behind another tree not far from Huai Yi, that tree happened to be a cypress tree, Qing Yao easily merged with the breath of that tree, Huai Yi didn't notice him at all.

Under the cover of the dense branches and leaves, the already delicate Huai Yi is even more ghostly.

What is he trying to do?Qing Yao frowned.

A whole morning passed like this, Huai Yi was sitting on the branch shaking his legs.Just when Qing Yao wanted to give up and appeared, a person walked up the mountain road.

It was a human being, probably a woodcutter, with a load of firewood on his back.

The woodcutter is very strong and well dressed.These years, the farmers at the foot of the mountain have encountered natural disasters, but the people living in the mountains have not been affected.

The woodcutter was young and unmarried, so it was enough to keep his mouth shut, which made his life easier.

Qing Yao retreated behind the tree, hiding her figure.

To his surprise, Huai Yi was still sitting on the tree.

Sure enough, the woodcutter quickly saw Huai Yi and stopped.

Maybe it's because Huai Yi's appearance is too feminine, maybe it's because such a person suddenly appeared in the mountains, it looks too weird, and the woodcutter looks very vigilant.

But also very curious.

So instead of running away quickly, he stopped and looked at Huai Yi carefully.

Huai Yi also looked at the woodcutter with a blank expression on his face.

But Qing Yao, who was familiar with him, discovered that Huai Yi was actually looking at the woodcutter very carefully.After a while, it seemed that Huai Yi was very satisfied with the woodcutter, so he jumped off the branch.

"Who are you?" The woodcutter had never seen such a delicate person. Although he was vigilant, he couldn't help but ask first.

"My name is Huai Yi."

Huai Yi was wearing light yellow clothes, and when he approached, a sweet fragrance hit him, making the woodcutter's eyes bewildered.

"You...you are so beautiful..." As a result of being at a loss, the woodcutter couldn't help but confided.

"Oh..." Huai Yi's voice picked up dangerously, "Are you sleepy?"

"Well... I... I'm sleepy, I want to sleep..." The woodcutter was completely confused by Huai Yi, and he sat on the ground unsteadily, because behind him Supported by a load of dry firewood, he did not lie down, but tilted his head to one side.

Huai Yi smiled contemptuously.

Qing Yao heard that Huai Yi was very upset, probably because the woodcutter said "beautiful".Seeing Huai Yi approaching the felled woodcutter, Qing Yao felt a little uneasy.

He doesn't know what Huai Yi is going to do, but...it seems that this is not the first time he has done this. Huai Yi has no blood on his body, which means that he has never killed anyone.

Just like people don't feel guilty about chopping down trees, even if Huai Yi thinks the woodcutter doesn't like killing people, Qing Yao doesn't feel anything superfluous.But after all, they are goblins who rely on the essence of the sun and the moon, wind, frost, rain and dew to practice. It can be said that what they cultivate is a breath of fresh air, and it is not good to be contaminated with karma.

But...he didn't do it before, doesn't mean he won't do it now, right?

The scene of Huai Yi absorbing the essence of wood from their trees suddenly appeared in front of Qing Yao's eyes, and he couldn't help but half leaned out, wanting to see what Huai Yi was going to do.

Huai Yi didn't feel Qing Yao's presence.On the one hand, Qing Yao's aura was almost the same as his, if Qing Yao deliberately concealed it, Huai Yi would not be able to detect it.

On the other hand, Huai Yi never thought that Qing Yao would secretly follow him.

He looked at the ordinary man half lying on the ground and sighed.

In fact, Huai Yi felt like kicking him for his reckless words just now.However, having encountered this kind of thing a lot, Huai Yi felt that his temper had become much more tolerant, and he didn't intend to argue with him now.

Qing Yao has already transformed into a successful form, he can run around, and the chances of him coming out alone are much less, not every time he comes out, he can wait for someone to pass by.

"Just treat it as you owe me." Huai Yi squatted beside the woodcutter, and said softly.

************************************************** ****************

When Huai Yi got close to the woodcutter's mouth, Qing Qiao couldn't believe her eyes.

Qing Yao is a very simple monster.In fact, monsters, even tree demons, have information networks among them.For example, if something happens at the foot of the mountain, the trees at the foot of the mountain know about it, and they will tell the other trees around them all the way up the mountain.Therefore, the dryads who grew up in the mountains may not all be ignorant and ignorant.On the contrary, because the life span of trees is very long, the transition period between their enlightenment and successful transformation is also very long.And this long, long time is enough for them to know many, many stories and understand many truths.If you are lucky, you may meet a few talented people and even goblins who live nearby, and you will be nurtured for decades.

So most dryads are well-informed.

He and Huai Yi are exceptions.

They live on a cliff, with only two trees nearby, and they don't get any news at all.Fortunately, Huai Yi is rare in a hundred years. A dryad who cultivates very quickly can transform into a form in just a few decades. Although he is much inferior to Huai Yi, he is actually the fastest among dryads. up.

To sum up, Qing Yao is actually a simple goblin.

So when he saw Huai Yi talking to the woodcutter, he was extremely shocked.

Although he didn't understand the possible meaning of this action, he still felt his heart ache, especially that his things were about to be defiled by others.

"Huai Yi! What are you doing!" Qing Yao couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to shout.

What made him even more surprised was that when he saw his sudden appearance, Huai Yi unhurriedly glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and still moved towards the woodcutter's mouth...until a very close Distance, if not for Qing Yao's good eyes, he would not be able to see that subtle distance at all.

A cloud of pure white air was sucked away by Huai Yi from the woodcutter's mouth.

The woodcutter's face paled a lot, as if his face and skin were not as rosy as before.But Huai Yi got the spirit of the woodcutter, and his face only slightly improved.

He obviously absorbed a lot of wood essence last night, but he was still very pale.

"Huai Yi..." Seeing that the woodcutter was not dead, Qing Yao felt relieved.Looking at Huai Yi's lips, he suddenly took his sleeve and wiped it off Huai Yi's face in displeasure.

"What are you doing?" Huai Yi frowned, and blocked Qing Yao's hand away.

"What were you doing just now?" Qing Yao felt a little wronged, and silently withdrew her hand.

Huai Yi was still a bit uneasy at first, but now seeing that Qing Qiao only cared about his... action just now, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

"What do you say? What do you say I'm doing?"

As he spoke, he approached Qing Yao.

Qing Yao sensed that something was wrong.

For example, he shouldn't have let Huai Yi find out today.

Huai Yi also felt that the woodcutter lying on the ground was a bit of an eyesore, so he grabbed Qing Qiao and turned to the depths of the woods, on top of a big and thick tree.He pressed Qing Yao on a branch that was strong enough, and pressed himself on Qing Yao's body.

"What... are you doing?" Qing Yao swallowed.

"Aren't you curious about what I did just now?" Huai Yi laughed, with a dangerous aura in his exquisite eyebrows and eyes.

Qing Yao quickly shook her head: "I don't want to know now..."

"I can't help you." Huai Yi smiled lightly, the scent on his body became more and more intense, making Qing Yao unable to struggle.

As Huai Yi's face got closer, Qing Yao felt that his non-existent heart was about to jump out.When the sweet lips were printed on his face, he couldn't think anymore.

Why is it strange... Huai Yi has been entangled with him for hundreds of years, so what is this little contact... Qing Yao randomly finds reasons for himself in his heart.

"Is it enough?" Huai Yi's voice rang in Qing Yao's ear, softly, and seduced him to listen again, "Do you know what this is doing?"

"Don't...don't be like this..." Huai Yi's Mixiang made him insane, just thought it was strange to do this...his person also became very strange …

"Let me tell you what I was doing just now." Huai Yi chuckled, leaned over and blocked Qing Yao's mouth, pressing against him to prevent him from closing his lips.

A cool breath flowed from Huai Yi's lips into Qing Qiao's mouth, and he subconsciously swallowed it.

"This is..." Qing Yao woke up suddenly, looking at Huai Yi who was sitting upright in front of him, said in surprise.

"Angry." From Qing Yao's point of view, Huai Yi looked a little arrogant.

His face was turned to him, but his eyes were looking away.Losing this breath of anger, Huai Yi's face became even paler.

Suddenly he turned his head and showed an exaggerated smile at Qing Yao: "Otherwise, why do you think I can transform so quickly and help you so quickly?"

Qing Yao only felt that there was a breath stuck in his throat, and in his heart, there was more loss than puzzlement.

"Huai Yi, do you blame me for becoming like this?" Qing Yao lowered her head, not daring to look at Huai Yi's face.

"Yes..." Huai Yi admitted, "You make me difficult."

There is a difference between knowing it in your heart and actually hearing it.Qing Yao raised her head and found that Huai Yi had already walked away.

Huaiyi transformed successfully, and when they were traveling, there was a vixen who lived under their tree for a while.The vixen told him that some fairies rely on seducing humans and absorbing their energy to improve their cultivation.

Qing Yao really didn't want to think about it, but... Could Huai Yi be like that too?

If... Huai Yi needs to be like that to... then he...

Qing Yao made a decision in his heart.

************************************************** ************

That night, when Huai Yi returned to the bamboo building, the first thing he saw... was Qing Yao in disguise.

"What are you doing?" Huai Yi rarely felt a little speechless.

"You don't like it?" Qing Yao stood up and turned around, "Do you want me to change my face?"

Huai Yi was completely speechless.

Qing Yao's appearance is very good.Putting on a blue dress, coupled with the original temperament of the cypress tree, he looked like a modest gentleman, but when he took off the clothes, Qing Yao was actually just a fair-looking young man.

It's just... Seeing Qing Yao wearing women's clothes and her hair simply combed up, it doesn't look very out of harmony, but for some reason, it just makes Huai Yi feel unbearable to look at.

"You don't have to do this." Huai Yi said with difficulty, "You...have already made a choice."

"It doesn't matter," Qing Yao smiled, "Whether the dryad has a gender... I think it's fine."

Huai Yi froze on the spot, watching Qing Yao getting closer.At this moment, Huai Yi saw Qing Yao's exposed neck... there was even a delicate Adam's apple on it...

Huai Yi opened his eyes wide, grabbed Qing Yao's shoulders, and pushed his clothes away.

Qing Yao was also taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to stop her, but recalling what the other fairies in the mountains had said, she held back and blushed.

"Pfft..."

Qing Yao didn't feel what Huai Yi was going to do, but he heard his mocking sound, and then opened his eyes.

"What's wrong." Qing Yao looked down at his body, there was nothing wrong.

"Qing Yao," the weird feeling just now has all turned into funny at this moment, "Have you ever seen... um... a woman, or a goblin?"

Qing Yao nodded: "Aren't they dressed like this?"

"It's a mistake, but..." Huai Yi held back a smile, the corners of his mouth curled up, "You're different from them."

"Where is it different..." Qing Yao thought carefully about the female fairies he had seen, did she even have to change her face like that?But don't all goblins, unless they are twins, look different?

"No," Huai Yi saw Qing Yao's serious look, afraid that he would really take off the banshee's clothes so that he could confirm it, and hurriedly remedied, "There is no difference, it's just...you are still suitable for the original dress up."

"My original attire," Qing Qiao asked with some disappointment, "Didn't you say that you didn't like it..."

"No," Huai Yi approached Qing Yao, hugged him, and said, "I've already made up my mind, I like it very much."

The author has something to say: The dryads have achieved a positive result... Where are my protagonists~~~

As for the problem of only seeing the two dryads, in fact, this chapter also implicitly talked about it...but you must not see it~
