Didn’t I tell you to absorb his essence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree Demon Granny said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now on the main road, I clearly saw a handsome scholar, he would be an excellent supplement. Where is that person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree Demon Granny’s voice was very hoarse, very harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen realized at this moment that when he arrived earlier, he had already caught Granny’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Tree Demon Granny sent Xiaoqian to deal with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree Demon Granny never expected that despite her plans, Xiaoqian had already fallen for Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Granny!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That young man went to the neighboring room, he said he’ll be back shortly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian said, feeling very guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen was actually in the water barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree Demon Granny froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This man wasn’t even attracted by your charms and went to another room.

Tree Demon Granny could return at any time. Let’s hurry and leave; once we’re out of her range, we’ll be safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian’s face was redder than ever, for it was the first time she was so close to a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this man was someone she liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, there was a sudden bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of dark wind rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, a raspy voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you, Nie Xiaoqian, betray me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Tree Demon Granny was very suspicious. She appeared to leave, but in reality, was hiding outside, listening clearly to everything happening inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian turned pale upon seeing Tree Demon Granny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, a dark shadow screamed and rushed towards Nie Xiaoqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was also stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected the Tree Demon to be so cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn’t left at all, and seeing Ye Chen, rushed straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree Demon Granny sneered, “You little girl with such little cultivation, you think you can deceive me? You’re too naive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking, Tree Demon Granny’s hands transformed into vines, directly wrapping towards Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian’s beautiful face paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Tree Demon Granny was a Thousand-Year Tree Demon, beyond her ability to contend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even at this juncture, despite knowing she wasn’t Young Demon Granny’s match, she had to stand up for the one she loved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian soared into the air, her long sleeves directly entwining the piercing tentacles from the Tree Demon Granny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripping sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash between the two immediately stirred spiritual power waves in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was also astounded by the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the legendary Demon Technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Tree Demon Granny’s two tentacles transformed into countless tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Striking towards Nie Xiaoqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you, Nie Xiaoqian, confront Granny for a man. After all these years, how have I been nourishing you that you’d do such a thing.” Tree Demon Granny shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian was determined now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly understood that Tree Demon Granny cultivating her wasn’t out of kindness; she was treated as a tool to commit heinous acts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian said in a deep voice, “Granny, I don’t want to oppose you. If you let me and the Young Master leave, I promise not to disclose your whereabouts to anyone; I will wander the world with this Young Master, without harming you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian knew her demon techniques were all taught by Granny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could resist for a while, but couldn’t possibly be a match for Tree Demon Granny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian, suspended in the air, continuously used the silk she held, striking the tentacles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tentacles Tree Demon Granny transformed into grew more and more, and Nie Xiaoqian was soon overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had been watching all this while; it wasn’t that he didn’t want to protect Nie Xiaoqian, but he needed to understand the demon techniques first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he needed to ascertain how great the gap was between him and Tree Demon Granny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen could see Xiaoqian’s strength was indeed formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, under Tree Demon Granny’s fierce attack, she wouldn’t have lasted this long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, Tree Demon Granny was a Thousand-Year Tree Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tentacles were like whips, quickly encircling Nie Xiaoqian at the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian’s pressure was increasing, and it seemed she couldn’t hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head, shouting at Ye Chen, “Young Master Ye, run quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-03T08:13:10.846Z","2026-06-03T08:13:15.311Z",1,"novelbin.me","74df8494012c1f5d4815f824c9de7ff8bdbcbb0ef0526360bdc99630898a817c","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1167","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1165",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
