My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 21
“You’re busy? I don’t believe it.” The golden-haired lady shook her head when she heard what the man said.
But immediately after she said that, her expression turned for the worse. It was filled with bitterness.
“Why? Don’t you want to see me now?”
She looked like a wife who had been abandoned by her husband.
The golden-haired lady raised her right hand and placed it on the man’s shoulder as she spoke.
“Can you be serious?” The man with the big face glanced at the hand on his shoulder and a look of disdain flashed past his eyes.
He shook his shoulder slightly to shake the golden-haired lady’s hand away. Then, he took a step back to maintain distance between them.
Zhou Ye looked at them. He felt that the relationship between these two people wasn’t normal.
“Besides serious matters, don’t you want to know what I’ve been doing over the past few years?” The golden-haired lady was about to cry.
“I don’t.” The man with the big face shook his head.
Oh my god, what kind of conversation is this?
Zhou Ye was stunned.
However, he knew that he was in no position to comment. After all, he didn’t know what their relationship was.
“Fine, fine, I will be serious.” The golden-haired lady sighed.
Immediately after, she put on a serious expression and continued, “I came to find you today because I want to invite you to come with me to the demon world to take a look at the legendary immortal cave abode.”
“Immortal cave abode?” The man with the big face’s expression changed. He seemed a little shocked.
“That’s right. The news only came a few days ago.”
“An ancient cave abode left behind by immortals was discovered in the demon world. A half-step demon king went to take a look and return without any gains. However, today, that demon suddenly died, and the way it died was extremely frightening.”
“It was said that black blood flowed down his ears, mouth, nose, and eyes. His eyes were wide open and his hands and feet were all bent”
The golden-haired lady gave a frightened expression as she spoke.
“It looks like this immortal cave abode is quite dangerous.” The man with the big face started pondering.
“Do you want to go?” The golden-haired lady asked.
“Is there any news from the immortal world or the devil world?” The man with the big face placed his hands behind his back and looked over at the horizon as he asked.
“The devil world is getting restless. As for the immortal world, my men told me that they want to seize the immortal cave abode.” The golden-haired lady stood behind the man with the big face and looked at him pitifully.
“They want to seize the immortal cave abode?” The man with the big face suddenly smiled.
“The immortal world is strong but they are being a little too arrogant if they think they can just seize the immortal cave abode.” The man with the big face gave a disdainful look.
The man with the big face turned and looked at the golden-haired lady.
“Come with me. We need to prepare some items.”
“Okay.”
In the spirit field, Zhou Ye heard everything.”
“A cave abode left behind by immortals during ancient times?”
“There should be many treasures inside”
As he thought more about this, Zhou Ye wanted to take a look at the immortal cave abode. He was getting arrogant.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the right to.
It was obvious that the man with the big face wanted to go to the cave abode.
Zhou Ye could only pray in his heart that the man with the big face would return safely.
The white deer overheard the conversation too. It was standing beside Zhou Ye.
However, this fellow was extremely composed.
It understood the man’s ability very well. It believed that the man with the big face would definitely return safely.
The man with the big face and the golden-haired lady came out of the house after a long time.
They weren’t holding anything in their hands.
Zhou Ye thought that they must have kept the items somewhere.
Like a portable space.
“I will need to leave this place for at least a month,” the man with the big face walked to the spirit field and said to Zhou Ye.
He pointed at the white deer and then said, “Little plant, help me to watch over this fellow. If it eats my spirit herbs, I will definitely take care of it after I come back. Don’t worry. If it threatens you, I will take revenge for you after I come back.”
“Little deer, if I notice that the little plant spirit even loses a single leaf after I come back, I will look for you.”
Zhou Ye felt a sense of security when he heard this. He instantly nodded his head in agreement.
The white deer rolled its eyes.
The golden-haired lady covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
“Little deer, your life seems a little difficult.”
The white deer sighed. Its gaze was filled with despair.
However, many thoughts were flying through its head.
“Let’s go.” The man with the big face turned around.
He took a step and disappeared.
The golden-haired lady touched the white deer’s head. She waved her hand, and more than ten spirit herbs appeared on the ground. “This is all I can do to help you.”
“Grunt.” The white deer nodded gratefully. It was extremely touched.
The golden-haired lady turned around and disappeared too.
Only the white deer and Zhou Ye were left in the small yard.
The white deer looked at the spirit herbs on the ground.
These were all top quality products. They all looked quite delicious.
The golden-haired lady was honest.
The white deer nodded secretly. It bit a spirit herb and swallowed it directly.
Zhou Ye’s saliva dripped down.
He wanted to have a taste of the spirit herbs too.
He lifted his roots and jumped up to pat the white deer.
The white deer was stunned. It looked at Zhou Ye cautiously.
This little plant spirit actually wants to eat my spirit herbs. How is that allowed?
The antlers on the white deer’s head immediately glowed, and the spirit herbs on the ground disappeared instantly.
Zhou Ye looked at the white deer. He was in distress.
In the afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly.
Zhou Ye was cultivating in the spirit field all this while.
The white deer wasn’t far away from him. It was facing Zhou Ye with its back while it gorged on the spirit herbs.
All the way from morning until afternoon, it never stopped eating.
Finally, the last spirit herb got eaten by the white deer.
The white deer licked its lips. It seemed a little unsatisfied.
It glanced in the direction of the spirit field. Thoughts started sprouting in its mind.
Zhou Ye finished cultivating and stared at the white deer.
The man with the big face asked him to watch over the white deer. So, he needed to accomplish the task properly.
The white deer turned and looked at Zhou Ye. It hesitated for a moment.
It pondered for a moment and laid on the ground without moving.
If it wanted to eat the herbs, it needed to find a suitable time.
Zhou Ye snorted.
He didn’t plan to cultivate today. He would just stare at the white deer the whole day.
The moment the white deer ate the herbs, he would record it down and wait for the man with the big face to come back. Then, he would report to the man.
Time passed slowly.
The white deer laid on the ground. It felt a little impatient.
It raised its head and glanced around. It noticed that Zhou Ye wasn’t cultivating. It felt frustrated.
Zhou Ye kept staring at it without letting down his guard.
The white deer didn’t do anything. Zhou Ye was disappointed.
Zhou Ye started to have other thoughts.
In the middle of the night.
The white deer’s gaze landed on Zhou Ye.
It realized that the little plant spirit was finally cultivating, as he had maintained the same position for a long time.
The white deer kept his thoughts and got up slowly. It secretly moved towards the direction of the spirit herbs.
Even though the man with the big face warned me not to eat the herbs, do I have to listen to him?
How can I possibly listen to him?
If I don’t eat them, I’m not Master Deer.
It closed in on the spirit herbs and took a deep breath.
The fragrance given off by the spirit herbs were so tempting.
In the spirit field, Zhou Ye opened his eyes and looked at the white deer’s back. He sneered in his heart.
Today, if the white deer didn’t agree to split its loot with him again, he wouldn’t be polite anymore.
From the start till now, there was only one thought in Zhou Ye’s mind.
Split the loot.
As for accusing the white deer, that would depend on the amount of loot he got.
If he was satisfied with the loot, their friendship would continue to be strong. He wouldn’t say anything when the man with the big face questioned him.
If he wasn’t satisfied, their friendship would be broken.
He picked his roots up and silently walked towards the white deer.
At that moment, the spirit herbs had attracted all of the white deer’s attention. Hence, it didn’t notice what Zhou Ye was doing.
It walked to the spirit herb field and started harming the spirit herbs.
One bite, one herb. It ate them very quickly.
However, in its heart, it was telling it that it must restrain itself.
If it ate too much, it would have a hard time in the future. It needed to do things little by little. It would only eat a few plants a day. That was how it was able to maintain its life.
The white deer lowered its head and chewed on the spirit herbs. Its gaze was filled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, someone slapped the back of its leg.
The white deer froze.
It slowly turned its head. The deer and the plant exchanged glances.
Oh no, it was dead.
It was caught in its act.
The white deer’s eyes were wide opened. It was in disbelief.
Wasn’t this little plant cultivating? How did he realize that it was eating the spirit herbs?
The white deer was a little nervous.
It wanted to explain.
Zhou Ye patted it again and pointed at the spirit herbs. The intention was clear.
I’m willing to bear the consequences with you.
The white deer stared at Zhou Ye intently. Suddenly, it smiled.
I, Master Deer, want to strengthen my friendship with this little plant spirit this time.
