Chapter 524 – Vassal! (1/2)

Greenwood Palace.

“It’s all thanks to you, Xuan’er, that my Greenwood Clan was able to turn the situation around and put an end to the rebellion. We’re best friends, so I won’t speak too many words of thanks. Just let me know if you need my Treant Clan’s help in the future.” Shu Xin sat on a throne made of vines while she smiled and spoke to Yin Xuan’er.

Many elders of the Treant Clan who were present here nodded when they heard Shu Xin. The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was much stronger than the Treant Clan, so if they could ally themselves with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, then it would definitely be an extremely good thing for the Treant Clan.

Yin Xuan’er smiled and said, “Xin’er, aren’t you going to thank my husband? I wouldn’t have been able to repel the experts of the Exalted Han Empire if it wasn’t for him!”

Meanwhile, Yang Ye hurriedly said, “There’s no need to thank me, no need at all. It was something I ought to have done, really….”

The gazes of many treants descended onto Yang Ye. They had a good impression of this human before them because it was exactly he who’d killed the experts of the Exalted Han Empire and the Patriarch of the Scholar Tree Clan, and that was why the Greenwood Clan was able to turn the situation around. It could be said that the Greenwood Clan would have perished if it wasn’t for this human!

Shu Xin’s gaze descended onto Yang Ye. She was filled with curiosity towards Yang Ye. Because he possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age, and he was even the Sword Emperor of this age. It made her wonder if the appearance of such a genius amongst the humans was a blessing or calamity to the demon race.

Shu Xin remained silent for a moment before she glanced at Yin Xuan’er, and then she nodded to Shu Jin who stood by her side. The latter hesitated slightly before she nodded, turned around, and left.

Only a little while pa.s.sed before Shu Jin returned, and she was carrying a small green bottle in her hand.

The expressions of many treants in the surroundings changed upon laying eyes on that bottle. Some seemed to intend to say something, but Shu Jin glared fiercely at them and stopped them from speaking.

Shu Xin took the small bottle from Shu Jin, and then she walked over to Yang Ye and said, “Young Master Yang, words aren’t enough to express my grat.i.tude nor am I able to repay your kindness. There are 3 drops of Life Water here. It’s just a small display of my Treant Clan’s grat.i.tude, so I hope that you don’t refuse.”

Life Water! Yin Xuan’er was visibly moved, and she said, “Xin’er, how generous of you! You’re actually giving this fellow Life Water which is only inferior in value to the Greenwood Spirit within your Treat Clan. Even I’m slightly jealous now!”

“If you want it, then I’ll give you a drop later, Xuan’er!” Shu Xin smiled.

Yin Xuan’er shook her head and said, “There are only 10 drops of this every 1,000 years, and it’s extremely precious to your Treant Clan, so how could I possibly ask for it from you? In any case, giving it to him is like giving it to me. There’s no distinction between the two of us!” As she spoke, she received the green bottle on Yang Ye’s behalf and sized it up incessantly.

Yang Ye said, “Life Water? Can it improve one’s strength?”

Yin Xuan’er rolled her eyes at Yang Ye and said, “Even though it can’t improve a person’s strengths, it’s much more precious than treasures which improve a person’s strength. Regardless of how heavy your injuries are in the future, or even if the meridians or bones throughout your body are shattered, you’ll still be able to recover immediately upon consuming a drop of this.”

“It’s that miraculous?” Yang Ye wasn’t able to maintain his calm anymore. He’d originally intended to refuse because of the Greenwood Spirit, but now, he felt that anyone who refused the Life Water was an idiot!

Shu Xin suddenly said, “Right, Young Master Yang, I have a request!”

Yang Ye’s heart twitched when he heard this, and he said, Here it comes!

Shu Xin didn’t wait for Yang Ye to refuse or agree before she said, “The Greenwood Spirit is a precious treasure of my Treant Clan, and it’s of utmost important to my Treant Clan. So, I hope Young Master Yang is able to return it to us. You’ve done a great kindness to my Treant Clan, so if Young Master Yang needs anything, then my Treat Clan will agree to anything besides the Greenwood Spirit that is within my Treant Clan’s ability. Please!” As soon as she finished speaking, she made a full bow to Yang Ye.

All the treants within the hall shot their gazes towards Yang Ye as well.

Yin Xuan’er stopped playing with the Life Water as well, and she shot her gaze towards Yang Ye as well.

Yang Ye smiled bitterly because what he was worried about the most had occurred in the end. He said, “Miss Shu Xin, to be honest, even though the Greenwood Spirit is a precious treasure that’s useful to me, I’m really not shameless enough to take possession of it by force. Even you saw it for yourself. It was the Greenwood Spirit that flew into my body. What I’m trying to say is that it isn’t that I’m unwilling to return it to you, but the Greenwood Spirit itself is unwilling to leave.”

Shu Xin’s beautiful brows knit together slightly while the other members of the Treant Clan revealed slightly hostile expressions. They only had a single thought in their hearts, and it was that this rather agreeable human actually intended to take possession of the Greenwood Spirit by force!

Yang Ye said, “I know all of you don’t believe me, but that’s the facts of the matter.” Yang Ye was rather depressed at this moment. Indeed, no one would feel happy from being regarded as a thief. He knew that the reason the Greenwood Spirit was staying within his body was mainly because it had taken a liking to the tiny vortex. But the problem was that he was unable to explain all of it to these treants!

Many treants in the surroundings were filled with indignation when they heard such a shameless answer from Yang Ye. If Yang Ye hadn’t helped them earlier, and if it wasn’t because of the strength that Yang Ye possessed, many treants would have probably attacked by now.

Meanwhile, Yin Xuan’er suddenly said, “Xin’er, he should be telling the truth!”

Shu Xin gazed at Yin Xuan’er with a puzzled expression.

Yin Xuan’er glanced at Yang Ye and said, “Is ‘it’ the reason?”

Yang Ye knew what Yin Xuan’er was speaking about, and he immediately nodded.
