Chapter 231: Plants

There was no longer any need for growth process.

Xiao Mao knew it very well.

The current Yu Shi Lan was someone who had been tempered with time and also someone who had fought countless life and death battle.

How could a mere cultivation’s tribulation stopped her?

If she fail in the end, Yu Shi Lan might end up just laughing and said that she had no more regrets.

The technique Xiao Mao used to bring Yu Shi Lan back to this life had basically fulfilled all of Yu Shi Lan’s regrets, allowing her to do what she had long wanted to do but unable to do.

The regrets were overwritten and Yu Shi Lan became more cheerful and determined to step forward.

In a way… this is actually a good thing.

Because only with such a good mentality would it be possible for Yu Shi Lan to step further than before.

Xiao Mao silently consoled herself in her mind.

<if master can step forward, I’ll also be stronger and could recover faster. The feedback of strength from myself and from master will make the two of us stronger than usual, which is the reason why the contract is made in the first place.>

<Not to mention that with high cultivation, we’ll live a long life. There’s no need to hurry so much in the early stages.>

<Besides, Yu Shi Lan is already like my own sister. I wouldn’t want to make Yu Shi Lan so difficult by keeping me in such a form and being so weak>

Once Yu Shi Lan advanced in stage, Xiao Mao guessed that she also would become stronger, which is very delightful.

Still…

It’s annoying to think that Yu Shi Lan would be in danger during her cultivation journey and Xiao Mao could only silently look away.

She couldn’t bear to think about this.

“Hmm, Xiao Mao, do you think the plants will also mutate because of the demonic Qi?” Yu Shi Lan suddenly asked as she was crouching in front of a plant beside a tall tree.

To be honest, Yu Shi Lan’s biology knowledge was limited to the knowledge of high school student. Not to mention, Yu Shi Lan basically spent so much time in the cultivation world that most of the knowledge has been returned to the teacher.

She might be quite smart.

But this didn’t mean that she would never forget.

There were so many things that had never been used after she was being taught in school many years ago. In the cultivation world, the knowledge taught by the teachers on the Green Planet was naturally useless.

Yu Shi Lan didn’t purposely remember those things.

So now…

She had forgotten.

“Meow?” <what?>

Xiao Mao, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, failed to notice that Yu Shi Lan was now looking at some plants curiously.

The snow had fallen for a few months by now and Yu Shi Lan spent her time roaming around City A and other cities surrounding it. Coupled with her purposeful trips into the mountains, it was getting harder for those who wanted to chase her to find her trace.

But it didn’t mean there was none.

Some people would always find a way when they truly wanted to, so Yu Shi Lan was also busy fighting with a few bounty hunters in the past few months.

And Yu Shi Lan felt a bit strange.

These bounty hunters didn’t seem to know that Yu Shi Lan is actually a cultivator and came forward on their own to seek their death. It was as if they were afraid that they would not die if they didn’t come fast enough.

Yu Shi Lan’s lips twitched at her own thoughts.

In any case, she treated all the bounty hunters who came to find her the same way and all of them were killed easily. None of them were able to match Yu Shi Lan so far.

She sighed.

They tried their best to find her only to be killed in the end.

How pitiful.

This made Yu Shi Lan even wondered if they were actually seeking death when they looked for her.

Because no matter where she looked, these people were not capable enough to kill her. As for how they managed to find her, Yu Shi Lan had no idea and didn’t bother trying to find out about it.

She was not even sure if the technology in the ruined cities could still be used.

Perhaps someone hacked onto the satellite directly just to find her…

Yu Shi Lan didn’t delve too deeply.

Her main thought was naturally on the herbs in front of her.

Because Yu Shi Lan felt that it was a bit strange for the plants to thrive in this snowy ground and didn’t seem to be affected that much.

“This plant.” Yu Shi Lan crouched in front of the plant and lightly touched the leaf with her finger. The leaf seemed to react to her touch and curled up.

Seeing this, Yu Shi Lan chuckled.

She remembered that there were indeed some plants with this reaction, but she didn’t remember any of them were able to live through the winter while remaining so lush like this.

“Meow.” <It’s possible.>

Xiao Mao peeked out of the pocket and Yu Shi Lan held Xiao Mao in her hand. The curious cat opened her mouth and bit the corner of the plant.

The plant trembled once more and shrunk even further as if it was afraid of Xiao Mao.

It was really cute.

At the very least, Yu Shi Lan looked at the plant and even wanted to bring it away.

Is it conscious?

Some plants did mutate in the cultivation world, but Yu Shi Lan didn’t expect that she would be able to see one in this world.

“Meow.” <No, the plant hadn’t mutated yet and only more sensitive and more cold resistant.>

Xiao Mao bit the leaf a few times before she spat it out.

She could sense that the plant was definitely not conscious.
