A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 219 You are kind, and you are strong!
"Mm," Jiang Xinli replied casually, completely unaware of how disappointed Bai Yao was by her words.

She smiled and said, "Maybe it's because you're an official."

It's an occupational hazard; she had it in her past life too.

They're quick to throw tantrums at the slightest provocation; it's ingrained in their very being.

"So, Xiaoli, you just don't like listening to my lectures, it's not that you dislike me—" Bai Yao's ears turned slightly red.

A glimmer of light appeared in his originally dull, deep green eyes, which he quickly suppressed.

Jiang Xinli was taken aback. "Dislike you? What?"

"Nothing, nothing." Bai Yao's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He opened his palm, casually changing the subject, "You just said you'd lower my mental agitation level. Now... is that okay?"

“Yes, of course.” Jiang Xinli looked at the red full moon in his pale palm, hesitated slightly, but still covered it with her palm.

A warm sensation came from the palm of my hand.

The moment Jiang Xinli closed her eyes to focus on absorbing the riot value, Bai Yao raised his other hand and carefully protected her from a distance.

In just a few seconds, Bai Yao's riot value dropped from 39% to 3%.

"Alright." Jiang Xinli opened her eyes and withdrew her palm.

[Wow! Beautiful human, you're amazing!] The large banyan tree, which had been quietly watching everything, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Jiang Xinli smiled, "Really? I have something even more amazing. Want to see?"

As she spoke, she glanced around.

Although the dead branches and leaves had been cleared away by the White Light Hurricane, the once quiet, beautiful, and fragrant primeval forest still looked like a mess at first glance.

Where the five poisonous birds flew, the tree trunks were covered with charred marks from the black mist.

The remaining branches and leaves were withered and yellow, as if they had been burned.

She recalled how, on Dark Star, the light emanating from her fingertips could make lettuce sprouts grow rapidly.

Perhaps, it can also be done here.

The banyan tree asked curiously, "Even more powerful? I want to!"

Banyan tree: [Not only do I want to, but all my fellow flowers, plants, and trees want to too!]

Jiang Xinli: [.]

Jiang Xinli: [Then I need to borrow something from you guys~ But don't worry, it won't bother you.]

Banyan Tree: [Hey~ My head was just chopped in half by that damned five-poison bird, it's just a scar the size of a bowl. What do you want to borrow? Just tell me!]

Jiang Xinli: [.]

These words are so straightforward, and so savvy.

Could this giant banyan tree have traveled from the private residence of some powerful figure on ancient Earth?
She smiled, "Then you can ask around for me. I need the energy from you trees, not too much, just a little from each one."

Banyan Tree: [Alright, beautiful human, please wait a moment~]

As the banyan tree's voice faded, a murmur rippled through the forest.

Bai Yao looked at the plants in the forest. Even though there was no wind, they suddenly started rustling. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xinli and asked, "Xiaoli, are you communicating with them?"

“Okay.” Jiang Xinli nodded. “I asked them to lend me something, and they agreed.”

"Borrow what?" Bai Yao asked curiously.

"You'll find out soon enough." Jiang Xinli smiled mysteriously, then reached out and gently placed her hand on the trunk of the banyan tree.

She closed her eyes, and four thin, hair-like strands of pale yellow light flowed from her fingertips.

The light rays spread out and quickly penetrated into the depths of the dense forest.

They flexibly twine around plants, burrowing into their stems like gentle tentacles, softly drawing upon their abundant vitality.

Soon, specks of green light gathered from the surrounding dense forest, floating like fireflies on her fingertips.

After a while, Jiang Xinli opened her eyes, squatted down, and placed her fingers on a few withered vines on the ground.

She took a deep breath, and the pale yellow light at her fingertips suddenly brightened, flowing gently into the soil like a stream. Bai Yao's eyes widened in surprise:
As far as the eye can see, the charred branches and leaves begin to fade, the withered stems straighten up again, and tender green buds emerge from the broken parts, unfolding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The damaged forest is gradually regaining its vibrant life.

The branches and leaves rustled, and the tree trunk moved without wind.

A green ivy vine gently wrapped around Jiang Xinli's wrist, caressing it affectionately.

"Success!" Jiang Xinli happily withdrew the flowing light from her fingertips and stood up.

"Are you tired?" Bai Yao reached out to help her, but Jiang Xinli nimbly dodged away as soon as his pale fingertips touched the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Xinli smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Not only am I fine, but I'm also full of energy.

The ancient trees here are full of energy. Just a casual absorption of it filled her with power, making her a thousand times stronger than when she was on Misty Star.

Bai Yao paused in mid-air before slowly retracting his finger to his side.

He glanced down at her and said, "Xiao Li, you are kind and strong."

Bai Yao's voice was low and gentle, like snowmelt flowing over bluestone.

Jiang Xinli's ears turned red, "."

The banyan tree beside it shook its newly restored canopy, as if to say, "Beautiful human, you are kind. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now, I'm going to find some hemostatic herbs." Jiang Xinli smiled.

We need to find not only hemostatic herbs, but also some food.

From what the banyan tree had just said, she learned that there were two kinds of plants and animals in this primeval forest.

Some of these plants, dating back to ancient times and tens of thousands of years old, can talk.

The other group of plants are no different from ordinary plants and cannot speak.

Some of these animals are from ancient times, are enormous, extremely aggressive, and may even carry deadly poisons.

The other group of animals are normal animals.

In short, animals and plants from ancient times are not edible.

With the plants as their guide, the two found a bunch of ingredients, herbs, and utensils before it got completely dark.

The two of them were still by the river when they caught a few fish.

We have food and drink.

However, where to stay is a problem.

The sky had completely darkened.

In the dense forest, moss, shimmering with a dim light, dotted the landscape.

Despite having four powerful red vines by her side and being able to hear the plants chattering amongst themselves, Jiang Xinli was still somewhat apprehensive.

"Little Pear, don't be afraid, I'm here." Bai Yao used his wind blade to cut off a piece of his clothes, placed it in his palm, and then tightly grasped her hand.

Jiang Xinli only thought his actions were very gentlemanly, so she didn't think much of it.

Bai Yao suddenly stopped in his tracks. "The airflow I just released was blocked. There must be a mountain ahead."

A chicken blood vine hangs down from the trunk of a nearby tree.

It nudged Jiang Xinli's arm. "Humans, are you looking for a cave? There's a cave over there, it's very safe."

Jiang Xinli: [Is it far?]

The chicken blood vine swayed slightly. "It's not far. Wait a moment, we'll summon some guides for you."

Jiang Xinli looked on with curiosity and turned to tell Bai Yao, "This little vine said it's summoning some guidance for us."

Bai Yao looked at the swarm of fireflies converging on them from not far away and smiled gently:
"I never imagined that Xiao Li was so incredibly capable!"

Jiang Xinli shyly pursed her lips:
"Bai Yao, do you usually compliment people this much?"
