Chapter 1126: Chapter 1123: Trespassing Chapter 1126: Chapter 1123: Trespassing (Fifth Update)

“Sister, don't believe his words, he just, his face was like this, like this…” Without waiting for the woman to speak, the girl named Xiaonu popped her head out from beside her and pulled faces by stretching her hands across her face.

Having said that, she retracted her head back.

Seeing the girl speak so earnestly, Jiang Shentian also looked towards Shen Luo with a hint of suspicion.

It was as if to say, why would you scare a child by making a face like a ghost for no reason?

“You two girls must be disciples of the Divine Wood Forest, right?” Shen Luo, feeling helpless, decided to change the subject.

“Eh, how did you know?” A round head popped out again.

The woman tried to cover her mouth, but it was already too late.

“Sister Tianxing, should we have not mentioned that?” Xiaonu, realizing she had misspoken, said with some regret.

“Yun Xiaonu, why do you always speak so quickly? Next time I won't bring you out with me.” The woman said with a helpless sigh, pressing a hand to her forehead.

“No, Sister Tianxing, other than Sister Man'er, you're the only one who's willing to sneak me out. Sister Man'er is not around, and if you don't take me, I'll surely die of boredom,” Yun Xiaonu quickly said.

“Speaking of that dead girl Man'er really gets me angry. She actually snuck out of the clan by herself, and now Elder Yun is on such high alert that I can't even sneak out nearby for a walk.” The woman called Sister Tianxing said.

Shen Luo watched the two, one tall and one short, completely engrossed in their conversation in front of them, thinking they were really naive and carefree, with hardly any guard against strangers.

Just then, Shen Luo's expression suddenly changed, and Jiang Shentian beside him also quickly sensed something was off.

The two of them looked around at the same time, only to see that the already dense jungle around them had suddenly grown wildly, encasing them in the center before they even realized it.

“Girl, what is the meaning of this?” Shen Luo frowned and asked.

The woman, who was still complaining to Yun Xiaonu, looked around at his words and her expression suddenly looked very ugly.

“This is bad, Elder Yun is here…”

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she quickly grabbed Xiaonu and pinched a magic spell with one hand. A yellow glow enveloped the two of them, and their figures immediately sank into the ground, escaping directly.

Although Shen Luo and his companion were surrounded, they did not make any moves, only watching their surroundings with caution.

At that moment, a surge of green light appeared not far in front of them, and green vines rose from the ground, growing three to four zhang high.

The vines entangled and trapped two figures, which turned out to be Yun Xiaonu and the other girl.

Subsequently, the shrubs and vines not far away parted to both sides, clearing a passage in the middle.

An old woman dressed in a water-blue long robe, holding an ebony cane, and with a head full of white silver hair, walked towards them at a leisurely pace. Her figure showed no sign of being hunched, and while her face bore some fine wrinkles, her former beauty was still evident.

The old woman had an elegant demeanor, like musk and orchids. She advanced to a close distance and stopped.

“Granny Yun… we just wanted to relax a bit and didn't plan to go far. Please let us go,” the woman changed the way she addressed her and pleaded.

“Man Tianxing, shut your mouth. Xiaonu, tell me, where were you planning to go?” Elder Yun scolded softly and asked.

“We, we were just…” Yun Xiaonu, tightly wrapped by the vines, stuttered slightly in her speech.

“Tell the truth, no lying,” Elder Yun's voice grew heavier.

“Sister Tianxing said she would take me to Dianxi City nearby to have some nice food, and I… I couldn't resist because I was craving it so much, so I just… followed her out,” Yun Xiaonu said haltingly.

“You really are something, Yun Xiaonu. After all the kindness I've shown you, umph umph…” Before Man Tianxing could finish her sentence, a vine wrapped around and gagged her.

“Granny said that one must tell the truth and must not, cannot lie,” Yun Xiaonu blinked and spoke.

Man Tianxing was still “mmph mmph” accusing Yun Xiaonu of being disloyal, but unfortunately, not a single word could come out clearly.

“Quiet, your matters will be dealt with once we return,” Elder Yun rebuked.

Man Tianxing immediately shut his mouth, silent as a cicada in winter.

Shen Luo saw that the white-haired old woman turned her gaze towards them and knew that they were going to be dealt with next.

“Elder…” Jiang Shentian stepped forward to meet her proactively.

However, before he could finish his sentence, a dark vine suddenly wrapped around his ankle and yanked him up into the air, leaving him hanging upside down.

“Trespassing into the Divine Wood Forest without permission is a capital offense. Do you understand?” Elder Yun shouted angrily.

A heavy killing intent suddenly emanated from her, completely different from when she was speaking with Yun Xiaonu just now.

“Elder, this seems a bit unreasonable. Not to mention that this place is not within the boundaries of the Divine Wood Forest, even if it were, you shouldn't attack without asking whether we strayed in by mistake, right?” Shen Luo frowned and said.

“Stop playing the innocent here. Do you think I am unaware that you outsiders were brought back by that girl Wu Man'er? Still claiming it was a misunderstanding? Even if it indeed was, you, boy, are tainted with Demonic Qi and should be killed on the spot,” Elder Yun huffed coldly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo's heart chilled.

Once his Demonic Qi was suppressed, it was not something easily detectable. However, the fact that the old woman spoke this way meant that she either possessed deep cultivation or had discovered them while he was suppressing his Demonic Qi.

Whichever the case, the situation was looking grim, and it was clear that Wu Man'er had certainly been discovered.

“Sister Man'er has returned?” Yun Xiaonu's eyes lit up upon hearing this news while bound by the vines.

Elder Yun ignored her, fixing her gaze on Shen Luo and asked, “Will you surrender peacefully, or will you resist stubbornly? The choice is yours.”

“I will surrender without a fight…” Without a second thought, Shen Luo replied without any hesitation.

Having said that, he brought his hands together, fist over fist in front of him, gesturing he was ready to be dealt with as seen fit.

His completely cooperative demeanor stunned Jiang Shentian, who was hanging on one side, and even Elder Yun raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised.

She waved her hand, and a thorny vine emerged from the ground, binding Shen Luo's hands together.

The sharp thorns on the vine were incredibly piercing, even penetrating Shen Luo's tough skin slightly, and he immediately felt a mild numbing sensation at the site of the wounds.

“No good, it's poisoned…” he realized right away.

Jiang Shentian, too, was somewhat dissatisfied with the old woman's rash actions.

Just as he was about to react, a shout came from the distance, “Elder Yun, hold your hand for a moment. They are all my friends.”

Wu Man'er was seen hurrying over, followed by a stocky middle-aged man.

This man was not particularly tall and had a beard both above his lip and below his chin, yet his facial features bore a strong resemblance to those of Wu Man'er.

He was dressed in the Divine Wood Forest's signature water-blue garments, adorned with delicate silver ornaments on his chest and head.

“Sister Man'er, you've really come back?” Upon seeing the two, Yun Xiaonu was the most excited and called out loudly.

Wu Man'er, seeing Yun Xiaonu tangled up in the vines, softened her expression and revealed a slight smile.

But when she turned to look at Man Tianxing, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
