Chapter 217 She actually told him the secret!
Jiang Xinli turned around, her clear, doe-like eyes meeting a pair of deep, emerald-green eyes: "Bai Yao?"

Bai Yaoxue's long white hair fell over his shoulders as he knelt on one knee, leaning slightly forward to gaze at her.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling his white shirt.

Although her whole body looked like it was covered in frost, she was still faintly exuding a bit of warmth.

He smiled gently, his voice soft, "Little Pear, is anything bothering you?"

"No." Jiang Xinli avoided his gaze and anxiously glanced around.

When she didn't see Sheng Tianze and the others, her brow furrowed.

She looked away. "Bai Yao, what are you doing here?"

Therefore, the white figure that saved her in mid-air just now was Bai Yao, not Xue Qianxun.

Bai Yao's fingers twitched slightly. "I just happened to be near the Star Gate, and somehow I ended up here."

"Oh? Is that so?" Jiang Xinli felt a little suspicious, but she didn't think much of it.

She glanced at the personal terminal and was taken aback:
There was no signal from the optical computer, and the screen was completely blank.

Based on my experience on Misty Star, the restrictions here are probably much stronger than those on Misty Star.

"Bai Yao, can you still use your special ability?"

"Yes, but my level 7 ability can only be used at around level 4 right now."

Jiang Xinli: “.”

Sheng Tianze's spatial ability allows him to detect targets within a certain range.

If Bai Yao's superpower is suppressed, then it proves that Sheng Tianze's spatial superpower is also suppressed.

He needs to find himself.
Not only her, but also Xuan Ying, Hua Xi and the others.
Seeing that her brows furrowed even deeper, Bai Yao took a deep breath and said in a clear voice, "Xiao Li, don't worry, I will protect you."

"Thank you," Jiang Xinli said politely, while secretly checking her dodder flower and spiritual power.

Fortunately, her dodder vines were unaffected, and her mental power was not suppressed.

She gently touched the small golden snake on her wrist again.

The little snake suddenly opened its eyes.

Seeing its icy blue eyes filled with blood, Jiang Xinli frowned: Could it be that something happened to Xuan Ying?
“Xiao Li, we must have fallen into a new dimension. There are strong restrictions here, so Sheng Tianze and the others probably couldn’t get in.” Bai Yao’s words pulled her back to reality.

"They couldn't get in? Is it because their ability level isn't high enough?" Jiang Xinli was taken aback. "How can you be sure they didn't come in?"

The environment here was complicated, and she didn't dare to shout their names loudly, for fear of attracting unknown creatures.

However, so many plants—

Hopefully it's not a mutated plant.
Bai Yao stated frankly, "We circled in the air for a long time but didn't see them."

Jiang Xinli gave a light "Oh," and her gaze stopped on an incredibly thick banyan tree not far away. "I'll go take a look at that tree."

"Okay." Bai Yao reached out and helped her up. "The vines here are tangled and it's easy to slip and fall. Shall I help you across?"

"No need," Jiang Xinli said politely, then turned and walked towards the banyan tree.

Bai Yao took a long stride and followed.

As she approached, Jiang Xinli raised her hand and gently placed it on the trunk of the banyan tree.

The familiar wood grain texture, with a hint of cool dampness, comes from the palm of your hand.

Jiang Xinli relaxed her brow and unconsciously scratched the tree trunk with her fingers.

"Oh dear, beautiful human, stop tickling me~" A silvery exclamation rang in Jiang Xinli's mind.

Jiang Xinli held her breath: "."

She can hear the voices of plants.

But on Misty Planet, those plants, like human-machines, had extremely limited language.

At most, they would remind her if there were any puppet corpses nearby, or if it was safe.

This was the first time she had ever heard words so vivid and lifelike.

Could it be that the plants here have become sentient? They weren't allowed to become sentient in my past life—

But after witnessing so many sci-fi and fantastical things...

This place is not possible either.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinli continued to scratch the trunk of the banyan tree with her fingers.

[Beautiful human, if you keep scratching me, I won't tell you where to find hemostatic herbs! Humph!]

Even though there was no wind, the countless aerial roots hanging from the banyan tree shook violently a few times.

Bai Yao quickly reached out and supported one of her arms. "Be careful, Xiao Li."

"Bai Yao, the trees here are quite cute." Jiang Xinli raised her eyebrows slightly.

Having ruled out the possibility of plant-mutated beasts, this vast forest was nothing short of an inexhaustible treasure trove of energy for her.

Bai Yao: "Cute?"

“Yes.” Jiang Xinli didn’t intend to hide it from him. “Actually, I can hear the thoughts of plants.”

Bai Yao lowered his eyes. "Xiao Li, this must be your secret, right?"

She actually told him her secret.

This should be considered a very deep level of trust.
Jiang Xinli asked in confusion, "Bai Yao, shouldn't you be more surprised?"

Bai Yao's ears turned red: "I'm surprised, but Xiao Li, thank you for your trust in me."

Jiang Xinli smiled, "You saved me three times. Besides, we need to find a way to get out of here, so we need to trust each other and make the most of our strengths, right?"

Of course, her intuition told her:

Bai Yao is someone she can trust.

"Hmm." Bai Yao suppressed the slight upturn of his lips and smiled gently. "Little Pear, then continue and see if it tells the others."

"Yes." Jiang Xinli turned around and said politely, "[Big Banyan Tree, were you talking to me just now?]"

The banyan tree huffed and puffed, shaking its canopy with a "rustling" sound. [If it wasn't me, then who was it?!]

Jiang Xinli: [Then can you tell me where this is? How can we leave? Also, what did you mean by not telling me where the hemostatic herb is?]

Banyan Tree: [Ha, beautiful human, I thought you weren't listening to me properly!]

Jiang Xinli couldn't help but chuckle. "Big Banyan Tree, you're quite the conversationalist. And you have excellent taste!"

The banyan tree proudly declared: "That's right!"

Banyan Tree: [Question 1: You are currently in an ancient forest, the earliest forest formed in the entire galaxy during the Big Bang.]

Banyan Tree 2: [Question 2: As for how to leave here, I'll ask around for you in a bit~]

The banyan tree continued: [Question 3: The male next to you is injured. There are hemostatic herbs in the forest that can temporarily alleviate his injury.]

Jiang Xinli was taken aback and turned to look at Bai Yao. "Are you injured?"

"Hmm, a minor injury." Bai Yao had just finished speaking when his body trembled slightly, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Xinli asked worriedly, "Did you use your superpower and get backlashed by the restriction?"

"It's alright, Xiao Li, you don't need to worry," Bai Yao said casually, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Xinli was about to retrieve a hemostatic medicine from her spatial ring.

Only then did they realize that the spatial ring couldn't be opened. "Bai Yao, can you still use your spatial ring?"

"No," Bai Yao explained. "The restrictions here not only suppress supernatural abilities, but also all high-tech items."

Jiang Xinli: “.”

Seeing her worried expression, Bai Yao changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Li, what about this banyan tree?"

"It says this is an ancient forest formed during the Big Bang."

“So, this place is actually related to the origin of interstellar space.” Bai Yao frowned slightly. “It is also related to the ultimate place, or rather, to the ultimate power of interstellar space.”

He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Xinli with tenderness:
"Little Pear, you are a dark female. Perhaps you didn't enter here without a reason."
