The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 335 Lian Linuo Under the Old Pear Tree

When I first arrived at Xianyunju, I could see a tree in the courtyard. It looked to be more than 10 feet tall, but its trunk was short and its branches were rambling. It was early winter, and the tree was bare, which was very ugly.

Long Qi didn't know what kind of tree this was. He also didn't understand why Ling Xiang wanted to place such an ugly tree in the yard, and seemed to like it very much, even placing a stone table and stone bench under the tree.

Later, I learned that this was a pear tree, which Lingxiang's mother brought from the mortal world when she moved into Xianyunju. It is said that this pear tree is no less than a hundred years old, and Fairy Tumi values ​​it very much.

If a pear tree is planted in a house, the people will become poor and the family will fall into ruin. Why would you choose a pear tree when you can have any other tree?

But later on, Long Qi finally saw what it meant for petals to fall like snow.

As soon as spring came, the old pear tree began to sprout. Just after March, the tree was covered with white flowers overnight. The breeze blew through the tree, making rustling sounds, and the whole yard was filled with a fragrance. In April, when the spring breeze was strong, the pear petals on the tree fell with the wind, leaving a white ground, which made Xianyunju look very beautiful.

Although it is a pear tree, Lingxiang never neglects it. She always sends Long Qi to water it twice a month, and each time she uses the water from the Lingmai spring. She also often catches insects and applies fertilizers, taking care of it meticulously.

But strangely, Lingxiang never prunes old trees.

After all, Long Qi has been in the market for many years and he knows everything. As for fruit trees, only frequent pruning can make them grow better, but Lingxiang disagrees.

"Do you know why the pear trees in the world are so short?"

Long Qi shook his head after hearing this, and Ling Xiang continued:

"As you said, in order to make it grow better, fruit farmers will prune it. On the one hand, the fruit will grow bigger and more, and on the other hand, it will limit its growth and make it easier to pick in the future. But I don't expect this old tree to bring me anything, so why should I restrict it?"

"Among all things in the universe, only the spirits of plants and trees are the most insightful. They know the four seasons and distinguish between morning and evening. If I interfere with such spirits, wouldn't I be ruining their future?"

It was the first time that Long Qi heard such a statement. He couldn't help but feel that Ling Xiang was making a big fuss about nothing - it was just a plant, what could be expected from it?
But Long Qi didn't know that the Yangmei Immortal in the innate spiritual root was just a hollow willow. And the reason why Lingxiang treated this wood well actually had an inside story.

When Lingxiang was two years old, the pear tree was full of fruit. Little Lingxiang happily climbed up to pick some and ate them, but she didn't expect that the fruit was bitter and sour. She wrinkled her little face and threw it away.

This throw happened to land on the head of Ling Xiao Zhenren who was coming up the mountain. Seeing his daughter looking angry, he smiled and went forward to hug her.

"Why is Xiang'er so angry?"

Xiao Lingxiang pouted, looking unhappy: "This old pear tree is such a rogue. The fruit it produces is sour and astringent, and not tasty!"

Upon hearing this, Master Ling Xiao laughed even more ostentatiously: "Xiang'er, although this tree is old, it has not yet grown into branches, so naturally it cannot produce delicious fruit."

Xiao Lingxiang didn't understand: "What is Lianli?"

This question stumped Ling Xiao Zhenren. He pondered for a long time before speaking: "Lianli is like how Dad and Mom got married and finally had a smart and pretty child like Xiang'er."

Hearing her father praising her, Xiao Lingxiang giggled, but she did not forget the fruit just now, and urged again and again: "Xiang'er wants to eat delicious fruit, Daddy, please marry him, hurry up!"

Ling Xiao Zhenren laughed even harder: "Daddy can't be with this old tree, but since Xiang'er wants to eat the fruit, can daddy buy it for you tomorrow?"

But Xiao Lingxiang got even more excited after hearing this: "I won't! I won't! I won't! I will eat the fruit from this old tree!"

Master Ling Xiao didn't know where his beloved daughter had learned to say so many "nos", but he really couldn't do anything about her - after all, she was his daughter!
"Alright, alright! Then Daddy will promise Xiang'er that he will make a wooden entanglement with this old tree in a few days. Next year Xiang'er will be able to eat fragrant and sweet pears, okay?"

"Then let's pinky promise!" Xiao Lingxiang said, stretching out her chubby little hand, and Lingxiao Zhenren also stretched out his hand with a happy smile and linked his hands with hers. After singing a ballad, he playfully carried Xiao Lingxiang into the house.

However, this agreement was never fulfilled.

……

The Demon Lord had a stern look on his face. Qinghui pointed his finger directly at Long Qi and was about to hit Long Qi. However, Long Qi was tied up by the water technique and had no power to dodge.

Although Lingxiang didn't know how to use the Qinghui Finger, she was very familiar with it. The Qinghui Finger was one of the Qinghui techniques. It didn't look as grand as some other techniques, but it was an extremely powerful technique.

The Qinghui technique was originally a magic method used against demons, among which the Demon-killing Qinghui was the most outstanding. However, if this technique was cultivated to the seventh level, it could be used on humans.

Qinghui's finger is the seventh level of the skill. Gather Qinghui's power between your fingers and then shoot it towards your opponent.

Qinghui's power would not harm anyone, but Qinghui's finger could dispel the spiritual energy and break the spell. If he lost his spiritual power, not to mention whether he would be injured, he would definitely be at a disadvantage in the next fight.

As expected, the finger pierced through Long Qi's body. Although Long Qi did not feel any pain, he felt weak, as if he had fallen into a vast ocean and could only let the waves roll and go with the flow.

Lingxiang's heart tightened and she almost cried out, but she still endured it. She just grabbed the sleeve of the Demon Lord and asked anxiously, "Are you really my father?"

"What? Xiang'er doesn't believe it?" The Demon Lord smiled warmly.

"Of course I can't believe it so easily," Ling Xiang glanced at Long Qi beside her, and then asked, "You said you are my father, so can you tell me, what is Mu Lianli?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord's expression froze and his eyes darkened.

"Xiang'er, are you blaming Daddy for not keeping his promise?" Then she sighed, "It was a time of turmoil, and Daddy had no choice..."

"Hiss~" Lingxiang took a deep breath after hearing this. Only she and her father knew about this matter. Could it be that the person in front of her was really...

No! This is so weird!

Lingxiang always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

Just as Lingxiang was thinking, Guimian stepped forward and interrupted her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, we have obtained the precious mirror and found the princess. In my humble opinion, the best strategy is to evacuate as soon as possible."

Although Long Qi's thoughts were confused, he became alert immediately after hearing what Ghost Face said.

What does this mean? Are you going to take Lingxiang away?

He couldn't help but think of the dream he had in Xianyunju, and his heart suddenly became panicked.

"Spiritual fragrance...Spiritual fragrance..."

Isn't that a dream?
