The next day, at the time agreed upon by Banxia and the King of Banyan Trees.

The Banyan King seemed to have arrived quite early; Banxia saw it as soon as she stepped out of the space: "Have you been here for a long time?"

The Banyan King shook its branches: "No, I just arrived."

Banxia paused, looking away from its icy leaves: "I agree to your request, however, I do not wish to be king."

She stroked the head of the silver creature in her arms, "In the animal world, the strong are respected, and I hope that the strongest will assume the important role of the beast king."

Since Silver wants to be king, she will help it fulfill its wish no matter what.

The Banyan Tree King glanced at the kitten snuggling in Banxia's arms and kindly reminded her, "There is a level 5 mutated cow cat in Banxia City. It has been a stray since it was a kitten, and its ferocity is ingrained in its bones."

This cat is the leader of all the mutated animals in Rongcheng.

Banxia nodded: "My family's silver is very powerful, don't underestimate it."

Silver was not aggressive in front of her, but once she stepped out, she was a real powerhouse. After all, there weren't many mutated animals in the world with both level five dual abilities.

Upon hearing this, the Banyan Tree King was no longer worried: "Is it also a case of the strong ruling over the weak among the mutated plants?"

Banxia shook her head: "I hope you will continue to assume the important role of the king, but you may also speak up if you have other ideas."

Neither she nor Tiantian had any intention of managing thousands of mutated plants. Couldn't they have spent that time eating, drinking, and having fun? Xingzi did have some ideas, but she was too weak and probably wouldn't be able to convince the crowd.

The Banyan King was both surprised and delighted: "Me? You don't want my crystal core?"

Banxia has no shortage of crystal cores, but it lacks capable helpers: "No, for me, you can create greater value only if you are alive."

The Banyan King immediately and solemnly promised: "We will never forget your great kindness and virtue, and we will be loyal to you and your bloodline for life."

Banxia quickly changed the subject: "Are there any suitable places for martial arts competitions in Rongcheng?"

Promises were meaningless to her; the space was her private domain, and control was in her hands. Anyone who dared to disobey would be thrown out to fend for themselves. This was why she felt comfortable entrusting the rule of the mutated plants to the Banyan King, with whom she had not yet established a close relationship.

The Banyan King thought for a few seconds and said, "There is a large square in the city center."

Two hours later, at the city center square.

Banyan King stands in the center of the square, with Pinellia, Arisaema, Silver, and the Translator Parrot perched on its branches.

Within a ten-meter radius, mutated plants and animals stood, all quietly watching the Banyan King.

The Banyan King said sorrowfully, "Two months ago, I had a prophetic dream..."

It recounted its dreams from the past two months in detail, causing an uproar among the mutated plants and animals below.

"Our home is going to disappear?"

"My lord, when shall we leave?"

"How dare humans treat us like this! I'm going to kill them!"

...

The mutated banyan tree king loudly reassured them, "Quiet! I know you are panicked and angry right now, but please rest assured, I have already prepared an escape route."

Once all the mutated plants and animals had quieted down, it used a branch to hold Banxia at the front: "This human is called Banxia. She has a paradise and is willing to take us in."

Fearing that some mutated plants and animals from the deep mountains and forests might not understand what an outdoor paradise was, it carefully explained, "A paradise is a place even more beautiful than before the apocalypse. There is fertile soil, clear water, a suitable temperature, and plenty of food. As long as we move there, we will never have to worry about survival again!"

"Your Majesty, you've definitely been fooled by these cunning humans!" The mutated milk cat stepped forward and carefully examined Banxia and the round silver in her arms, saying with certainty, "When I was auditing classes at university, an old professor told me that Shangri-La is just a beautiful fantasy of humans; it doesn't exist in the real world!"

The interpreter parrot diligently translated.

“Little kitty,” Banxia scratched Yinzi’s chin, “seeing is believing. Would you like to see my ‘Shangri-La’ for yourself?”

The black and white cat said smugly, "I'm willing, but if I find out you're lying to the cat, the cat will scratch your face until it's covered in scratches!"

Yinzi's eyes flashed with anger, and it was about to jump down to fight the cow cat, but Banxia quickly stopped it: "Besides the kitten, who else doubts me? Step forward, and I'll show you all."

Several more mutated animals and plants stepped forward. Banxia roughly estimated that they were all between level four and five, and probably usually the leaders.

Banxia asked again to confirm, "Is there any more?"

No plants or animals made a sound.

Banxia activated her supernatural ability to collect the plants and animals that had volunteered, along with the Banyan Tree King, into her spatial storage: "There's a forest over there, a pasture over there, food over there, water over there... Alright, go explore on your own. We'll meet again in half an hour."

After saying that, he ignored the Banyan Tree King and the few other cats who were standing there dumbfounded, and pulled Nanxing, Yinzi, and the parrot back into the house to eat snacks.

Before the apocalypse, she almost never ate snacks, but after the apocalypse, she developed the habit of having a bite every now and then.

Yinzi angrily opened a can of food, plotting how she would beat the cow cat that dared to offend her sister into a cat pancake during the martial arts competition.

The black and white cat had no idea it was about to get a good beating. It rubbed its eyes with its paws, looking completely incredulous: "Meow meow meow?"

Is the cat dreaming?
