My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 16
The white deer was extremely weak now.
Reproducing the life-changing fruit on the tree had emptied all his energy.
Looking at its dim antlers, the deer regretted it immensely.
If it knew this was going to happen, it shouldn’t have swallowed that life-changing fruit at the start.
But since it had already gotten to this point, there was no point in feeling regret.
If it wanted to blame, it should blame its relationship with the little plant spirit. Their relationship wasn’t strong enough yet for the plant spirit to cover for it.
The plant spirit sold it for a small increase in his cultivation state.
That was so infuriating.
The white deer got angrier as it thought more about this. It decided that it must give the small plant spirit a lesson to strengthen their relationship and let him know that he should be more ‘obedient’ in the future.
Once it had this thought, the white deer started moving out of the yard.
Its body was too weak so it walked a little slowly.
However, its cultivation state was high, so while it was walking, it kept sucking in the Qi of heaven and earth. It was gradually recovering.
It was weak but it still had enough energy to teach Zhou Ye a lesson.
In the house.
The man with the big face sensed the white deer’s movement. Then, something landed on the white deer’s body.
That something was to prevent the white deer from accidentally killing the little plant spirit.
Outside the yard.
“Screech”
The sound of the door to the yard opening entered Zhou Ye’s ears.
He turned and glanced behind him.
It was the white deer.
When his gaze landed on it, the white deer’s condition astounded him.
The once glowing antlers were now dimmed and dark. Additionally, it seemed to have gone thinner, as if it was suffering from an incurable illness.
“What is it going to do? Is it trying to take its revenge on me?”
Zhou Ye felt nervous as he watched the white deer walking slowly towards him. Although he was going to suffer the ire of the white deer, he didn’t regret his actions. If he had to make that choice again, he would still expose the white deer.
After all, he was an honest plant spirit. He wouldn’t cover up for the culprit just because his life was threatened.
His awareness was very high.
The white deer walked in front of Zhou Ye and looked down at him.
Its gaze was extremely unfriendly.
An unfriendly aura could be felt from the white deer. Its weak breaths felt like gales blowing beside Zhou Ye’s ear.
At the sight, Zhou Ye wanted to uproot himself and run away.
However, after thinking about it carefully, even if the white deer had grown weaker, it should be very easy for it to beat him to death.
All in all, He wouldn’t be able to run away.
But waiting to get beaten wasn’t his style.
Thus
“Slap!”
Before Zhou Ye could think of a way to handle this situation, the white deer stepped on him with its hoof.
This abrupt move stunned Zhou Ye.
His face was pasted against the soil as the white deer grinded its hoof on him. While being stepped on, he could smell a whole swarm of different fragrances given off by the soil. Zhou Ye could feel a headache coming straight at him.
The white deer’s step wasn’t fatal, but it didn’t show any mercy either.
It was fixed on the idea of teaching Zhou Ye a lesson.
“Slap!”
The cruel white deer stepped on Zhou Ye again.
Zhou Ye sunk deeper into the soil.
Its body was hurting but it wasn’t anything serious. The white deer obviously wasn’t trying to kill it.
If not, Zhou Ye felt that he would be facing Hades after the first step.
Since there was no threat to his life, Zhou Ye wasn’t worried at all.
The most he would get was a beating. Who was afraid of that?
If I scream, I lose.
“Slap, slap, slap”
The white deer raised his hoof and stepped on Zhou Ye’s body again, and again, and again. It was hard for a human eye to keep up with the disappearing hoof.
“Pain Brother, can you let go of me”
“Don’t be like this. If you continue stepping on me, our relationship will really get broken”
Zhou Ye was very sad.
He decided that if he had a chance in the future, he would return all the steps the white deer had given him several folds.
If not, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the humiliation for his beating today.
“Breath~”
The white deer looked at Zhou Ye who was buried deep in the soil. It was satisfied with its work.
It let out a sigh. It felt more comfortable in its heart.
It pulled Zhou Ye out of the soil and glared at him. Then, it turned and slowly walked towards the yard.
Zhou Ye laid on the ground and recalled what that glare meant.
Thinking about it carefully, the white deer seemed to be telling him to keep his mouth shut tightly. He shouldn’t accuse a deer easily, or else he would get beaten again.
“Hmph, I’m an upright person. If I saw who did it, I will say who did it. I will never lie.” Zhou Ye’s heart was filled with contempt.
He was a plant spirit with principles.
Zhou Ye buried his roots in the soil and shook his body.
Besides some minor external injury, there wasn’t any problem with his body.
The white deer’s grasp of its strength was right on point.
Zhou Ye activated the Xuan Qi in his body, and the injury on his body started healing.
Within two hours, he was healed completely. Zhou Ye even felt that his body had become even more flexible and firm.
“The white deer is really a good deer,” Zhou Ye exclaimed.
He really wished that he would be beaten up a few more times.
Wait, he shouldn’t have such thoughts.
As a plant, he needed to have his dignity. How could he have such thoughts?
Zhou Ye felt ashamed of his own thoughts.
The white deer returned to the yard.
The man with the big face walked out of the house.
“Do you still dare to do it again?” the man with the big face walked in front of the white deer and asked it calmly.
“Sob” The white deer sorrowfully shook its head.
However, in its heart, it was thinking.
Is there anything I don’t dare to do? Next time, I will just remember not to touch those spirit herbs.
“You little brat.” The man with the big face knocked the white deer’s head helplessly.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
The white deer lowered its head guiltily.
The man with the big face lifted his right hand and a snow-white object the size of a pellet with exquisite silver-white flower patterns on it appeared on his palm.
This object was giving off a special fragrance. It was invigorating.
To cultivators, this was called a pill.
A medicine that had been refined into a pill was easy to carry around and could be kept for long.
“Here, this is for you since you look so weak.” The man with the big face placed the pill in front of the white deer.
The white deer raised its head and looked at the man. Then, it swallowed the pill instantly without being polite.
The pill started to take effect the moment it swallowed it.
A small pill dissolved into a huge swarm of gentle energy in its body and soon, the white deer started recovering slowly.
The weak feeling in its body disappeared gradually and the white deer’s complexion improved greatly.
It remembered it beating Zhou Ye just now.
But it felt like it hadn’t finished taking its revenge yet.
It was a little soft on him.
It went too easy on the little plant. Next time, if he had the chance, he would beat the little plant to near-death.
With one pill, the white deer was almost fully recovered.
It turned back into the naughty white deer again, being totally full of vitality.
“Let me warn you don’t think about things you shouldn’t.” The man with a big face grabbed the white deer’s antlers and lifted the front half of its body up. It warned the white deer in a low tone.
The white deer started nodding profusely.
It seemed to be making a promise that it wouldn’t have such thoughts anymore.
But what it was thinking secretly was the complete opposite.
The man with the big face didn’t care if the white deer really listened to what he said. He released his hand and turned to walk back into the house.
The white deer leaped and jumped out of the yard after seeing the man entering the house.
Little brother, Master Deer is back to torture you.
Outside the yard.
Zhou Ye felt a little uneasy.
He heard the commotion and looked at the entrance of the yard.
The white deer was running over.
That fellow’s condition looked normal now. It didn’t seem dispirited at all.
Zhou Ye could already feel Death calling him.
Based on this deer’s personality, it would definitely torture him.
The hoof he was expecting didn’t land on him. The white deer didn’t open its mouth either.
Instead, it laid beside Zhou Ye’s body directly and closed its eyes. It fell asleep immediately.
Huge amounts of the Qi of heaven and earth got sucked into its mouth.
Zhou Ye felt his eyes hurting because of the suction force, so he had no choice but to close his eyes.
“This fellow is actually using this method to torture me. You will never succeed.” Zhou Ye’s heart was filled with contempt.
Promptly, he took his roots out of the soil and activated his Xuan Qi. He ran far away.
The moment he walked out of the white deer’s breathing range and was preparing to bury his roots in the soil to cultivate.
Zhou Ye noticed that the white deer woke up and ran beside him again. It laid down.
“Oh my god, don’t do this”
Zhou Ye exclaimed in his heart.
He lifted his roots once again and changed his position.
Once, twice
For the entire afternoon, Zhou Ye got tortured.
He couldn’t cultivate at all.
He really felt that this white deer was a devil.
The white deer was delighted as he looked at the lifeless Zhou Ye.
