Yong County is said to be not far from the capital, but in the original story, because a cultivator led the way, they arrived in just a few hours by flying on a sword. However, Zhang Xu, an ordinary person, would not be able to arrive in less than a few days. After traveling all day, she was so tired that she lay down on the ground and fell asleep shortly afterward.
For months after transmigrating into the book, Zhang Xu had always had a sense of unreality and ethereal disorientation. However, her recent experiences made her feel more and more like she was living in a real world. After what happened today, Zhang Xu felt as if a thread had bound her to this world. With this weary feeling of being pulled, she slowly drifted into a dream.
As night fell and the moonlight climbed to the treetops, the forest echoed with the clamor of birds returning to their nests. The hopping tree spirits climbed up the big tree and began to chatter to themselves around the people lying in the treehouse.
"Ding!" Congratulations, host, you have started the dungeon mission. You will receive additional rewards upon completion.
Zhang Xu was startled awake by the voice in her mind. She opened her blurry eyes and was startled by the green blob in front of her.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
While Zhang Xu was still confused, Liu Wu delivered another heavy blow: "Host, host, I've brought you some items, catch them!"
In front of me was a lush green blob, with a round body, a head far away, and a leaf bigger than its head on top. On its round head were a pair of dark green beady eyes, a small mouth, and round hands and feet.
Zhang Xu was now fully awake. She had thought the treehouse looked so familiar. Wasn't this the treehouse where the female lead stayed when she fell into the abyss later in the story while trying to break through to the next stage of the Dao of Abandonment? How did it end up here? And what was that green thing in front of her? It should be the female lead's pet. How did it appear so early?
Host, didn't you say I didn't give you any items? I've given you the female lead's tree spirit!
Zhang Xu: 6
Wouldn't that ruin the plot?
No way! There's more than one tree spirit. Besides, this tree spirit is just a pet to the female lead, but it's different with you!
The little tree spirit tilted its head and rolled its eyes as it sized her up. Zhang Xu squatted down and tried to look the little tree spirit in the eye: "I am a traveler passing through here. I couldn't find a place to rest, so I asked to stay here for the night. I didn't know it was your home. Sorry for disturbing you."
The little tree spirit raised its round head: "You can see my house, which means you're not a bad person, you're a good person."
Zhang Xu was amused by its naivety: "You believe I'm a good person so easily? Aren't you afraid I'm a human cultivator using a magical artifact?"
The little tree spirit shook its head: "You are not. Your soul is very pure, unlike anyone I've ever met before. But there are unclean things in the forest. Can you take me away?"
You want to leave with someone right after meeting them?
Although the tree spirit also ran away in the original story, Zhang Xu still couldn't believe it. She didn't even need to bend over; she just took the initiative to come with me.
"It's possible, but you're too conspicuous following us around like this. If the cultivators find out, you're finished."
The little tree spirit patted itself: "Don't be afraid, I can become invisible!"
"Then you can be called Little Wooden Wood! I'll bring you back after the filth in the forest disappears."
The next day, Zhang Xu finally understood the meaning of the props that Liu Shiwu had sent him. Good heavens, it could burrow underground and carry her away, and it could run incredibly fast. This was even cooler than those who could fly on swords.
