Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity - Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Chapter 392: Little Eight Lin Gets Married, Everyone Departing_1

Under the serene Green Mountain, Jiang Hui’s eyebrows knitted ever so slightly, a sudden feeling of being duped washing over him.

Which was especially the case when he saw the fleeting mischievous smile at the corner of the Willow God’s lips, strengthening the thought in his mind.

He must have been deceived by this woman!

The Willow God was definitely messing around with him under the pretense of seriousness.

Who would have imagined that the renowned Ancestor of Sacrificial Spirits would also have this sort of penchant?!

“Are you sure you aren’t joking? Your answers seem completely unrelated to my inquiries?”

Jiang Hui spoke in a deeper voice, calling her out directly, feigning a little irritation.

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop joking around. It was merely a jest, Mr. Jiang. Is there really any need to get upset? Could it be that you care so much about whether I’ve ever had a Dao companion?”

The Willow God slightly curled her lips into a smile, looking even more cunning, and yet dazzling like the thousands of colorful rays splashed by the morning sun, utterly radiant.

Affar, the fragmented sunlight showering through the blurred tree shadows, accentuated the woman’s alabaster and jade-like skin, making it look even more dazzling.

Her chest was full and firm, her waist, slender enough to encircle with one hand, her legs, long and straight. Her entire figure was a perfect testament to beauty, and her eyes were as clear as a rippling spring. Her current expressions of frowning and raising eyebrows were so strikingly different from her celestial beauty usually untouched by worldly desires. Now, it was as if she had been tainted with shades of worldly charm, adding a touch of relatability that made one yearn to take her into one’s embrace.

They say a hero’s laughter could resolve the deepest of enmities, but so could a beauty’s, especially a rare beauty’s. Without needing intimate contact, even her casual laughter was enough to lift spirits.

Suddenly, Jiang Hui’s mood of being deceived improved significantly.

However…

What did she mean by whether I cared so much about her having or having not had a Dao companion? She was the one who started this topic. I merely asked out of curiosity based on her question…

Women certainly can’t be quantified by normal standards, no matter how matchlessly beautiful they may be. They essentially belong to the female species.

Jiang Hui silently grumbled in his heart, yet he didn’t voice it, stated in his feigned anger, staring at the Willow God.

Although he didn’t utter a single word, his facial expressions relayed all his conflicted emotions.

“In my time, everywhere was filled with warfare. Even the Immortal King could die in battle if one is not careful. True Immortals had to face bloodshed everywhere. The entire era was trapped in battles and bloodshed. How could there have been time for love? Thus, I have never had a cultivation partner!!”

Perhaps because she felt Jiang Hui’s displeasure hadn’t completely disappeared, the Willow God bit her lip and started to explain in a slightly quiet tone after organizing her thoughts. She felt obliged to maintain amiable relations with the Master of Liu Village since she was staying there.

“Oh…”

Jiang Hui drawled out the word, his expression unchanged, his eyebrows arched high and his eyes squinted slightly, indicating plainly that he didn’t believe what the Willow God had said.

Of course, he did believe in her considering her status and identity. There was no need for her to lie to him.

But considering her recent performance, he had decided not to be easily appeased.

“What, is Mr. Jiang mistrusting me?”

The Willow God’s voice paused for a moment. Despite maintaining her sweetness, her face no longer looked calm.

Flashing her eyes, she stared intently at Jiang Hui, biting her lip gently, looking alluring.

Although she had long transcended the secular realm and entered immortality, many mortal things and affairs could not rouse her anymore. Hence, they were hard for her to take to heart.

But anyone, especially a woman, would find it hard to stay composed when their purity was doubted.

“How could that be? I unquestionably believe in you. Please don’t take my words to heart. I trust… I trust in your honesty and integrity!”

Jiang Hui waved his hand and told her immediately. But his eyes were still suspicious and it showed.

“I see, Mr. Jiang, you did it on purpose!” the Willow God bit her silver teeth before calling out Jiang Hui’s bluff.

Jiang Hui chuckled awkwardly. He felt his acting was flawless—a masterstroke—yet, she saw through him quickly. Truly, someone from two eras was not easily fooled.

“However, even if you did it purposely, Mr. Jiang, isn’t it a bit too much for you? Do you know what purity means to a woman?!”

Relentless, the Willow God continued. Her eyes moistened, making her look on the verge of tears.

Now, Jiang Hui was at a loss for how to respond.

Scratching his head…

“I was only jesting. Please don’t take it to heart. As for your statement… I have always trusted in your character and conduct!”

Clearing his throat, Jiang Hui spoke softly.

Initially, he didn’t think much of it, but looking at Willow God’s state, he quickly realized how much he had crossed a line.

Although it was all in jest, certain things really ought not to be joked about.

“Humph! Whether you believe me or not is none of my concern. Please go on your way, Mr. Jiang. I’m tired and need to rest!”
