Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Chapter 552: Crime plus 1 level

Chu Xuantian held her breath, cautiously and stealthily making her way forward like a thief.

She bit her finger and followed the procedure for forming a blood pact. Even if the tree was unwilling, as long as she smeared her blood on the tree trunk and recited the incantation, the blood pact would be completed.

Her heart pounded wildly. Chu Xuantian couldn't help but fantasize about how awesome she would become after making a pact with the divine tree. She was filled with excitement and could no longer contain herself.

She knew that this was a sacred tree, and sacred trees possessed sentience and would surely resist, but as long as she could get close to it, there was a great chance of success.

By the moonlight, she crawled on the ground, inching forward little by little. She felt that as long as she lay low enough, the sacred tree would not realize that she was a human.

There was a rustling sound on the ground. She writhed on the ground like a snake, moving forward cautiously. Then, suddenly, she lunged forward, trying to wipe the blood from her hands onto the tree trunk.

Unexpectedly, he tripped over thin air and fell to the ground.

"Where's the tree?" Chu Xuantian was dumbfounded.

Where is her tree?

There was nothing in front of me, as if it were all just an illusion.

She got up, turned around, and was about to use the moonlight to find the location of the sacred tree when suddenly, a thick cloud drifted over from nowhere and blocked the moonlight.

It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see anything.

A barely audible sigh rang in Chu Xuantian's ears: "Amitabha."

"Ah—!!!" Goosebumps instantly rose on Chu Xuantian's back, and her terrified scream echoed throughout the entire valley.

The birds in the woods were startled and took flight, their fluttering sounds filling the air.

Chu Xuantian was tied up.

Strong, green-glowing vines bound her, restricting all her strength and making her worse than a cripple.

She was thrown heavily to the ground, the lights came on, and as her eyes adjusted, she found herself in a small cabin in a valley.

Inside the room, there were more than a dozen people, some wearing straw hats, some with their trousers rolled up, all tanned dark by the sun, and all looking at her with reproachful expressions.

These were the students from the Mud Leg Sect who were responsible for maintaining the sacred tree.

They worked tirelessly, watering and fertilizing the sacred tree day and night, creating a personalized growth plan and a special fertilizer formula. When there wasn't enough sunlight, they even borrowed the essence of the blazing sun from their teacher to nourish it...

I don't know how much effort and how many days it took to cultivate it to be a hundred feet tall.

This female thief, whoever she is, looks quite respectable, yet she's so shameless as to try to steal their research results while they're resting!

How could they not be angry!

This year's thesis is all depending on this divine tree. Whether I can graduate from the Mud Leg Sect depends entirely on whether this graduation project can produce results.

Recalling six months ago, the top-quality spirit oranges they had painstakingly cultivated for a year were all picked and eaten by passing old men and women, and they still haven't been able to vent their resentment.

Thank God, this time they finally caught them red-handed!

Such tree thieves must not be let off easily.

The students, fuming, rolled up their sleeves and, at Helan Yinling's command, swarmed forward, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks, raising clouds of dust.

Thump thump thump thump.

"Tree thief! Shameless!"

Thump thump thump thump.

"Kill the tree thief! Kill the tree thief!"

Thump thump thump thump.

"Will you dare to come again next time? Will you dare?"

Chu Xuantian clutched his head as his fists rained down on her, each punch landing hard and penetrating her defenses, causing her to howl in pain.

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

"Ah, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

While wailing, she was also filled with fear. She was a Battle Immortal level expert! What kind of strength did these mud-legged people wearing straw hats and rolled-up trousers have? How could they beat her so badly?

Before long, Chu Xuantian was beaten black and blue, his face swollen and bruised, looking like a pig's head.

"Take a break. I'm tired." Helan Yinling straightened up, tossed her braid behind her, and swallowed a large bowl of water.

The students stopped after receiving their senior sister's order, but a few students, still not satisfied, kicked them a few more times.

Then they all clasped their hands and surrounded Chu Xuantian, their aura fierce.

Sensing their murderous gazes, Chu Xuantian chickened out.

She raised her hands in surrender and cried, "I'm innocent... I was just passing by."

Everyone frowned.

real or fake?

Are you passing through this godforsaken place? Are you going to visit a grave or hang yourself?

A chubby little girl, about three or four years old, peeked out from under Helan Yinling's skirt, pointed at Chu Xuantian, and accused her in a childish voice: "She's lying! She just wanted to steal me!"

The crowd's expressions changed, and they rolled up their sleeves again: "Scammers and swindlers, their manners are extremely poor!"

Chu Xuantian was startled and cried out, "Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! The child is lying, don't believe him!"

The little baby stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then burst into tears, crying out, "Waaaaah, she's such a green tea bitch! I'm scared!"

As the baby cried and rubbed her eyes, the branch tied into a small braid on her head swayed back and forth, and the green light between the branches and leaves jumped and flickered accordingly.

Chu Xuantian looked completely bewildered: No, who are you?

What baby did she steal? She just wanted to secretly form a contract with the Divine Tree, wait...

Sacred tree?

Chu Xuantian's gaze fell on the baby again, looking at her green, shimmering "hair," and her mouth slowly opened into an "o" shape.

Trees have even taken human form?

You should know that the transformation of spiritual plants into human form is thousands of times more difficult than that of beasts. Beasts can transform into human form after cultivating to the level of divine beasts, while spiritual plants that can transform must be at least at the immortal level!

Chu Xuantian's worldview was turned upside down.

Good heavens, what terrifying higher plane did she ascend to? Why are there beings she's never seen before everywhere she goes?

She looked up, her lips pursed, and sniffed as she gazed at the white-robed nun opposite her, and she wept.

"I was wrong, Master, I will never do it again, please let me go."

"Cough cough." Chu Hanshuang immediately saw through her faking crying and shook her head, saying, "Lying again, your sins are compounded."

Chu Xuantian's face stiffened.

These people are so strict!

Helan Yinling kept a wary eye on the tree thief and human trafficker.

She shielded the baby behind her and asked Chu Hanshuang, "Master Renmei, according to the law, what's the punishment for tree traffickers—no, human traffickers?"

Chu Hanshuang looked regretful and put her hands together in prayer: "Just perform the ritual to deliver them from suffering."

"Wh-what do you mean?" Chu Xuantian was startled by these two words.
