"Your imagination is quite something. What's written in novels might actually be true. After all, our world now has superpowers and cultivators, so what's wrong with animals cultivating into humans?"
Xia Hua nodded, "That's true."
At midnight, Zuo Qingya heard a familiar notification sound.
[Hello Zuo Qingya! The "Turning Waste into Treasure" game is about to begin, please get ready!]
【5, 4, 3, 2, 1】
【Dear Advanced Tasker, welcome to Advanced Task (Beginner), Carnivorous Flower Sprite】
The man-eating flower spirits live deep in a forgotten forest known as the "Man-eating Flower Forest".
Legend has it that this forest was created by a powerful carnivorous flower spirit, who uses its power to protect this land.
The ancestors of the man-eating flower spirits were once guardians of the forest, but as time passed, their power gradually weakened, and now only a few man-eating flower spirits retain some of their ancient power.
Task 1: Help the carnivorous plant spirit find its mother.
Task 2: Help the carnivorous plant spirit solve its insect disease problem.
When Zuo Qingya opened her eyes, she found that she had shrunk considerably; you could say she was now a little boy.
Zuo Qingya was speechless. How could someone so young be tasked with a mission?
Bang bang bang...
What was that sound?
Zuo Qingya looked towards the source of the sound and saw a creature with a huge flower on its head, a body made of green vines, and short arms and legs, looking rather chubby and cute.
Is this a carnivorous plant spirit?
"Let me out! Let me out! You bad people, let me out! I want my mommy! Waaaaaah..."
Zuo Qingya was amazing; she actually understood what the man-eating flower spirit was saying.
But the little boy standing nearby could only hear a creaking sound.
"Dad, is this a gift for me?"
Xu Yongjie shook his head: "No! These are Dad's experimental items."
The little boy was disappointed. "Ah... okay!"
"Dad, what is this thing? It can actually move!"
"It's called the man-eating flower spirit."
"A man-eating flower spirit? Does it eat people like in the picture books?"
Xu Yongjie patted his youngest son's head and nodded in agreement.
Xu Weizhou was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Waaaaah... It's so scary, Daddy, please take it away quickly!"
Xu Yongjie found it amusing and pulled out a lollipop from somewhere to coax it, "Sweetie! Xiaozhou, Daddy's just kidding you, it won't eat people."
"real?"
"Yes... really."
"Here... Xiaoya, you eat too."
Zuo Qingya took the lollipop and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Uncle."
"Good girl, you're welcome."
Zuo Qingya pretended to be curious and touched the cage that was trapping the man-eating flower spirit.
"Hello! Man-eating flower spirit."
"Let me out! You bad people, let me out!"
In this game, Zuo Qingya's identity is the daughter of Xu Yongjie's neighbor. She was just sent by her mother to play with Xu Weizhou.
After all, Xu Yongjie is very busy with work and doesn't have time to play with Xu Weizhou, so he can only ask the neighbor's child to play with him! It's just a bit noisy and messy, with toys all over the floor.
"Man-eating flower spirit, what's your name? Tell me, and I'll give you a lollipop!" Zuo Qingya spoke in a tone like a child trafficker trying to abduct a child. As she spoke, she waved the lollipop that Xu Yongjie had just given her in front of the man-eating flower spirit. "Hehe, do you want some? It's delicious! It's sweet. Do you know what sweetness is? You probably don't know that you're just a flower, so you probably can't taste anything, right?"
The man-eating flower fairy pouted angrily: "What? How could I not taste it?"
"Of course I know what sweetness is! I've eaten sweet things in the Man-Eating Flower Forest. You, a human, probably don't know what honey is, right? That stuff is incredibly sweet; eating it is like ascending to heaven. Although I don't like it, my sister loves it, and my mother likes it too." As she spoke, the Man-Eating Flower Fairy burst into tears.
"Mom, sister, I miss you so much!"
"You bad people, you will get your comeuppance one day."
Seeing the man-eating flower fairy crying, Zuo Qingya felt a little sorry for her: "Hey, hey, don't cry, I'll give you a lollipop, why are you crying?"
"I'm not crying, I'm just sad."
"Do you really want to go home? Tell me your name and I'll take you home, okay?"
The man-eating flower spirit nodded, "Okay, okay!" Then it sensed something was wrong.
Wait, could this human child understand me?
"Hey, you little brat, do you even understand what I'm saying?"
"Uh??? I have a name. I'm called Xiaoya, not Little Kid. Or you can call me Sister."
The man-eating flower spirit sneered, "You're dreaming. I only have one sister."
"Alright then! I won't try to take it anymore. I've already told you my name, shouldn't you tell me yours too?"
"Hmph...Since you can understand me, I'll reluctantly tell you my name. I'm called Little Chirp."
"Huh??? That's pretty casual."
"What? Whatever, that's the name my mother gave me."
Why did your mother name you this?
"Because I was born with the name 'Chiu Chiu'! So my mom named me Little Chiu Chiu."
"Uh??? I'm glad you like it."
Zuo Qingya broke off a small piece of lollipop and placed it in front of the man-eating flower spirit.
When the little chick saw this, it quickly reached out its little hand, picked it up, and ate it.
"Wow...it's so sweet! And it's my favorite strawberry flavor."
You like strawberries?
Little Chirp nodded emphatically, indicating that she absolutely loves strawberries: "Mmm... I love eating them so much."
"Human, you just said that if I tell you my name, you can take me home, is that true?"
"Of course it's true! How could it be fake!"
"Then how can you prove it? That Dr. Xu is very vicious. He's so awful. He broke off a flower petal from my body. It hurt so much! And he even cut off my toes. He's so awful. He even stuck needles into my body. Maybe you shouldn't take me out. I'm afraid I'll implicate you. After all, Dr. Xu is so vicious. He definitely won't let you go. Even your family will suffer. If that's the case, I'd rather not go back."
"You're so kind. If this happens, won't you never see your mother and sister again? Don't you miss them?"
"Of course I miss them! How could I not? I think about my mom and sister every day, and they must be very worried about me right now."
"Then, can you tell me how you were arrested?"
Little Chirp sighed, "Sigh... I was just being stubborn, so I told my mom and sister that I was going to run away from home. I ran out of the forest, got lost, and then I got caught."
"Sulking out of spite? Why?"
Little Chirp snorted, "It's all my sister's fault. She trampled all the flowers I planted. I was so angry that I ran away from home."
"Huh??? You're really being willful."
