Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

The warm touch made her very nervous. If she still had a heartbeat, it would have been beating very fast.

...

At this time, Xiaoqing, the maidservant beside the tree demon grandma, spoke up, "Grandma, I saw that man, and then I went into this room and never left again."

This sentence made Nie Xiaoqian's heart beat again. Before she could explain, the tree demon's face changed. She swung her arm and a long vine swung towards her neck.

It looked like he was planning to drag her out directly.

It seems that this tree demon grandma is not as stupid as in the movies. After all, movies need to be processed to make humans and ghosts develop friendships, but reality does not require that.

The tree demon usually beats or scolds her subordinates who seduce female ghosts on the street, and often abuses and scolds them. When she heard this, she prepared to torture Nie Xiaoqian without caring whether it was true or not.

It’s over.

Nie Xiaoqian was desperate. She was bound to be beaten severely. Besides, the young master was in the water. What if he couldn't hold his breath and floated out?

Just when the thought of despair flashed through her mind

The long vine whip with thorns did not fall on her.

This made Nie Xiaoqian stunned, but what surprised her even more was that as the water surged, Roddy actually appeared in front of her, holding the whip in one hand.

The tall figure blocked her completely, and at this moment, an incomparable sense of security rose from her heart.

Nie Xiaoqian murmured to herself, a line of tears rolling down her cheeks, her voice trembling.

"Master...Master?!"

“Bold!!!”

The tree demon grandma didn't expect that her long whip would be caught. When she saw Rody appearing in the wooden barrel, she was immediately furious and her voice was sharp and fierce.

"Xiao Qian, you are such a traitor. You actually dared to hide a man and deceive me. Just wait and see how I suck the man's blood right in front of you, and then torture you until half of your soul is gone!"

As she said this, the tree demon grandma suddenly pulled the whip, intending to drag the man who was not aware of his own life or death over.

...

But something unexpected happened.

The tree demon pulled angrily, but instead of pulling Roddy over, it made itself stagger.

Roddy stood there, motionless as a mountain.

Although she was in the water, there was not a drop of water on her body, and her clean white clothes emitted a beige halo.

"Just you?"

Rody said calmly.

This scene shocked the tree demon. She looked at the halo around Rody in amazement, feeling the righteousness contained in it. "You...you are not an ordinary person? You are a Taoist priest!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian, who was hiding behind Roddy, was also panicked, but thinking that Roddy had seen through her identity but did not kill her, she slowly got up from the water.

"Grandma, I will go back with you. I only ask you to release this young man, okay?"

It would have been fine if Nie Xiaoqian hadn't spoken. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was in trouble. Hearing her miserable plea, the tree demon's face turned ferocious, "Hmph, you dare to negotiate with me? I'll tear up your ashes when I get back and turn you into the lowest and most lowly ghost!"

"As for you, although I don't know how capable you are as a little Taoist priest, I am not someone you can mess with. You are still a little naive if you want to slay demons and defend the Way. Just be my food!"

As she spoke, more than ten vines suddenly grew out from behind the tree demon and were about to roll towards Rody.

"Who said I was a Taoist priest?"

Seeing that the two men didn't even give him a chance to say a word, Rody raised his eyebrows and said speechlessly. At the same time, he raised his palm like a knife and chopped it directly on the branches of the tree demon.

"Shh-!"

The light on Roddy's body directly cut through the vines. In an instant, bright red liquid similar to blood kept flowing.

The attacked tree demon became furious, and the pain made it let out a shrill roar.

"I'm going to skin you alive!"

As she spoke, more than ten branches behind the tree demon rushed towards Rody.

"Son!"

Seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and wanted to go over to help stop it.

But how could Roddy let the bloody scenes in the movies happen in front of him?

He stopped Nie Xiaoqian with one hand and watched the branches rushing towards him.

Seeing that Rody was about to die on the spot, the dryad grandma raised her mouth into a cruel smile, "I'm going to dig out your heart!"

"No, don't!" Nie Xiaoqian's cry was also heard.

But this smile only appeared for a moment.

The next second, the branches that were originally rushing towards Rody were blocked by a layer of suddenly lit golden light before they got close to Rody.

Not only that, when close to the golden light, all the branches and vines quickly rotted and collapsed.

"what!!!"

The tremendous pain almost caused the tree demon to reveal her true form, turning into a human-shaped tree, with the skin on her face like rough bark.

She took a few steps back and was supported by the maid beside her, but she broke free and stared at Rody with horror, who looked indifferent.

"You... who are you? This is impossible. This aura of protection can only be possessed by those who control the fate of the dynasty! Which royal relative are you, or the son of a high-ranking official?"

No matter how stupid the tree demon grandma was, she could recognize that this golden light was the fortune of the dynasty.

The more prosperous the dynasty is, the more the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment under its protection, while the demons and monsters will be frightened and either destroyed or forced to sleep.

Even with the luck of the dynasty, a mortal emperor can easily wipe out thousand-year-old monsters, suppress ghosts, and fight against the power of gods.

It is also because of this that no monsters or evil spirits dare to cause trouble in the capital.

Today, the world has regained stability.

However, her luck has not yet reached its peak. At least in this small Guobei County, the tree demon has not been affected by the luck of the dynasty.

I didn’t expect to see the golden light of the dynasty’s fortune here!

Just when the tree demon grandma was in disbelief.

The earth suddenly began to shake.

"Boom!"

A sound like thousands of horses galloping came from a distance and was getting closer.

Rody glanced coldly at the tree demon grandma, turned around, looked at Nie Xiaoqian who was hiding behind him, still naked, and took out his own white robe and covered her tightly.

Then he pulled her arm and they both stepped out of the barrel.

"Young Master..." Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head in fear, not daring to look Rody in the eye. Although the protective golden light was not directed at her, just feeling the intimidation gave her a premonition that her soul would be torn to pieces.

"You want to know who I am."

Luo Di smiled and ruffled Nie Xiaoqian's hair. Women of this era were too silly. Perhaps they would be moved by one thing or one word and fall in love with a man, and would be willing to give everything for him.

Although the two had only met once, Nie Xiaoqian's affection for Luo Di had indeed been growing continuously, and she must have already developed feelings for him by now.

Roddy has captured so many monsters, so he doesn't mind a love story between a human and a ghost.

It’s a pity that it didn’t follow the script of the scholar and the female ghost.

"Young Master, who are you?" Nie Xiaoqian looked up at Rody, confused.

At this time, the noise of thousands of horses galloping became louder and louder, shaking the beams so much that dust fell down and the whole wooden house trembled.

I only heard a hissing sound outside, followed by hurried footsteps.

The tree demon wanted to run away when she saw the situation was not good, but there was no way she could escape.

"Stand!"

Roddy just gave a simple order, and the tree demon grandma and the two female ghost maids were really fixed in place, unable to move an inch.

At this time, the tree demon grandma had probably guessed Rody's identity, but she couldn't even speak, and her face was full of despair.

It is harder to see the ruler of a country in this remote wilderness than to encounter a ghost on the street.

At this moment, the door of the room was blown open.

A series of burly soldiers in armor filed in.

I saw Luo Di standing in the middle with one arm around Nie Xiaoqian's waist.

They all knelt on one knee.

Nie Xiaoqian was overwhelmed by the murderous aura of these elite cavalrymen. Her face turned pale and she was full of fear. However, she did not expect that these cavalrymen would actually kneel down.

"Greetings to His Majesty! Long live the Emperor!!!"

When Nie Xiaoqian heard what came out of the mouths of those cavalrymen, her mind went blank for a moment, and the fear on her face turned into disbelief.

The tree demon grandma closed her eyes in despair.

"Your Majesty, we are late in coming to your rescue. Please punish us, Your Majesty."

Among them, the cavalry commander, General Zhennan, spoke loudly.

"Get up, I'm fine, don't worry." Rody said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The soldiers then stood up.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect there would be a monster here. Look..." The general glanced at the immobilized tree monster, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and asked again.

"This is a thousand-year-old tree demon that has committed many evil deeds. Kill it and then remove its roots. Don't leave any harm behind."

Rody gave the order, and several soldiers immediately responded.

At this time, Nie Xiaoqian, who was extremely stiff in Rody's arms, moved. She raised her head in panic, looked at Rody, and wanted to speak.

But when she thought that the young man in front of her was actually the extremely noble Son of Heaven, the emperor of the entire world, she was speechless, and her body trembled constantly, not knowing whether it was from fear or excitement.

Luo Di looked down at Xiao Qian and remembered something. "Oh, right, there are a lot of poor women's ashes buried under the tree demon's body. Dig them out carefully and send them to me."

"Yes!"

The general was no longer surprised that Rody had collected many beautiful and enchanting banshees along the way, so even if there was a female ghost now, it would not be a big deal, and he agreed immediately.
