Li Ming grasped the branch tightly as she racked her brain to find a way for a safe landing on the ground without ending up drowning in the monstrous vines that were covering the top of the cliff where she had teleported blindly.

That's the side effect of teleporting somewhere you had never been before, you had no idea what you would be getting into at the other end.

When she teleported, she landed directly in the center of a small area filled completely with monstrous vines which started creeping up on her body, immediately constraining her from moving her hands or to be honest any other part of her body.

But the worst part appeared when it started sucking her spiritual energy. It took almost all of her remaining strength to get herself out of the clutches of those vines and she teleported on the first tree that came into her sight.

To be honest there were only two trees around that small area where the vines were growing. One was only a few feet away from her but was covered in vines, definitely not a good escape.

The other one was a little bit away from the area but still not far enough. It was not covered with the vines but a few of the vines growing near it could reach out to at least one or two of it's lower branches.

But she was so drained and out of focus that her legs slipped from the branch on which she was standing.

Coincidentally, just before she could land back on the ground and get devoured by those vines, she grabbed one of the branches.

To say that the sight of the Master of Godly Maple Tree hanging on a tree branch trying to save herself from the poisonous vines that were trying to get a hold on her, wasn't funny, would be a straight-up lie.

She was starting to feel dizzy but the problem was she's not sure why. Though the vines had sucked a lot of her spiritual energy out it was not to the point where she would end up unconscious.

Therefore, the sudden dizziness that took over her was confusing. It took her hazy mind a little too much of the precious time to realize that a very light green smoke like thing was wafting out from the tip of the vines, which appeared like buds.

How come something so evil like these poisonous vines had the power to bloom something as sweet and beautiful as a flower?

Li Ming cursed under her breath as she realized the problem. The monstrous vines were now using their hidden weapon to get her in their clutches since they couldn't reach her on their own.

Li Ming's energy level was already too low to teleport anymore but now even her mind was about to shut off and dump her in the open arms of those evil vines. Well, if they had any arms!

She tried to use all the remaining energy in her body to climb higher on the tree. Maybe it would help if she had some solid ground under her feet or in this case a solid branch.

But in her half-consciousness, her right hand slipped from its tight grip on the branch.

When did she become so slippery??

Just as Li Ming thought that she's going to once again end up in the tight clutches of those vines, a hand grabbed her waist from behind and flew her on the top of a very huge rock, a little bit away from the area where the vines were growing.

The person settled down on the top of the hard rock and tucked Li Ming in their lap. An arm circled around her waist, keeping her tightly against a hard chest.

The sudden little flight pushed Li Ming's already spinning head into more frenzy.

She tried to get a grip on her surroundings and finally after a few seconds or maybe it was a few minutes? - she succeeded in calming down a little.

But her condition was still poor as she felt like she had drunk a lot of alcohol. Her mind was either trying to fell in deep sleep or fight with the sudden headaches that struck in every few minutes.

Half consciously she realized that someone was holding her in their arms tightly. She tried to get out of the tight clutches of the stranger but note the keyword here - tried!

Of course, she didn't succeed. Her body was already drained of energy and her mind too wasn't working properly. It was obvious that she couldn't fight even a mere child in her current condition.

Her struggles only made the person pull her more tightly in their embrace.

"Stop struggling little one." The melodious soft voice halted Li Ming in her completely useless struggle. It was like a compulsion as her body instantly relaxed. She fell back on a hard chest but due to some reason, it felt very comfortable.

"Are you alright?" The same melodious voice whispered softly in her ear. Li Ming could feel soft hair, which was definitely not her own, tickling the right side of her neck. Goosebumps appeared on her body and she tried to control the shivers that were taking over her body.

Although she was currently living in the body of a 14-year-old girl but mentally she was almost 30 years old. The warm body against her back was adding fuel to her already unstable mind.

"Who the hell are you? You are the one who trespassed in my land, right?" Li Ming asked with an edge in her voice. Though she was confronting the stranger she didn't even try to move out of his embrace. It was too comfortable!

It's been a long time since she had enjoyed the warmth of a loving embrace. And that's exactly what she was feeling at the moment - love and warmth.

Whoever was holding her, radiated lots of warmness and love. Was it for her? Or was it for someone or something else? Li Ming had no answers for these questions but she was enjoying the moment too much to think about unimportant questions.

In her previous life, Li Ming had a fair share of the most handsome, powerful, and important men of both Supernatural & Human World.

From being very active sexually to suddenly get deprived of even a small hug, was like a cold bucket of ice dumped over her in the middle of a chilled winter night.

Though she had a few encounters where Zhang Yong and Roushan had hugged her but just as it was said - a few! Moreover, the two had always maintained a proper distance from her.

Though they were more friendly but they never overstepped the lines between a man and a woman.

Li Ming understood that this new world was different from her own world. Here people didn't go around touching each other randomly, not even if you were friends or family. Even the same gender kept a proper distance from each other.

She respected their customs and beliefs, but sometimes things like these could become a bane for people like her.

She was thankful that she's not an incubus or a Succubus, otherwise, she wouldn't have survived very long in this world.

"Can you see someone else here, because I can't? Isn't it already obvious little one?" The man asked with a little mocking sound but if you hear closely his voice was full of love and adoration for the girl in his arms.

"You....!"

Li Ming gritted her teeth as she tried to calm herself. That man seriously dared to mock her. He sure had some guts.

"Don't try to be over smart with me. Tell me Who you are? And exactly how you entered in my land without my permission?" Li Ming said in a strict tone.

A soft chuckle could be heard coming from the man. He softly patted her head as he answered her question, "Although it's true that no one can enter the Godly Maple Tree without the permission of it's Master, but there are still some people out there in this world that are even older than the Godly Maple Tree. These people won't need your permission. Just like that Moon over there....."

Hi everyone!

I know that the sexual tension in the chapter was probably sudden and you weren't expecting that but since we are already beyond 70 chapters, I decided to kick the romance a little bit forward.

No need to worry, we are still not anywhere near the real romance for now because our fl is merely 14. Yeah, we gotta wait till she's at least 18 but that would give us enough time to build the story and characters.

But remember that this is a reverse harem and that means a lot of romance and maybe smut? Don't know!!

I'm writing this here instead of in the creator's thoughts box because the wc is more than 500 which is the word limit of the thoughts box.

Btw, back to the story. Who do you guys think is this intruder? What does he want from our Li Ming?

Thank you and stay safe! :)
