Chapter 56 My Partner is Fruit 1
When Yunzhen woke up again, she felt a little strange.
In her previous life, she died of old age, living to the full lifespan of her physical body.
She originally thought she would leave that body and continue living in that world with her own body, but who knew that as soon as her body breathed its last, the system in her brain that had been mentally challenged her all her life suddenly started to react.
[Buzz... Locating... Buzz... Locating new world... Buzz... Locating successful... Buzz... Teleporting... Buzz...]
Yunzhen immediately realized that she was about to leave this world.
So be it, she's gone. This isn't her original world anyway, and many of the people she knew in this world have already left, even Xie Jingyue is now bedridden.
He's still clinging on desperately, unwilling to give up himself and not wanting to go before her.
Now that she's gone, Xie Jingyue must be relieved and no longer has to suffer.
Yun Zhen did not linger and left this world following the system's guidance.
But the system didn't tell her that crossing the world barrier required her own energy.
She had diligently accumulated a lifetime's worth of love and desire, and during this journey, a full ninety percent of it was gone!
Before Yunzhen could voice her accusations, a jolt came and she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, her surroundings had changed.
She seemed to be on a small earthen slope. She could see rolling bushes in the distance, and further away, lush green weeds spread wildly. All around her was bare brown soil.
Yunzhen glanced around casually before focusing her attention on herself.
She felt that her vision was strange, and her perspective had become lower, only half the height of an adult. But miraculously, she could see the surrounding 360 degrees.
What horrified Yunzhen even more was that she felt she had lost the ability to move!
She tried to move her hand or foot, but her body didn't react at all, as if telling her that there was no such thing. She could only stand there blankly, unable to even change her gaze.
This damn system, what kind of creature did it stuff her into this time?!
Yunzhen cursed inwardly and tried to contact the system, but the system reverted to its previous idiotic state.
[Sizzle... sizzle...]
Yunzhen: ...
Well, I guess I'll have to rely on myself from now on.
Yunzhen began to diligently explore the surrounding area, trying to find clues.
In the end, she found only a few fresh footprints in the vicinity, nothing else, and no trace of other human habitation.
However, these footprints are enough to prove that this is a place where humans can set foot, and also prove that their settlement is not far from here.
Once she figures out a way to resolve the current situation, we can go and investigate.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of hunger struck without warning, and Yunzhen felt her body tremble involuntarily, making a 'rustling' sound.
But Yunzhen had no time to care about any of that; her mind was completely consumed by hunger.
She has only one thought in mind right now: to eat!
But what should she eat?
She can't even move now.
At that moment, she vaguely heard the voices of a man and a woman, but due to hunger, she could not hear them clearly.
"Master, Nannan seems to be really dying. Her leaves are all turning yellow. I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of her..."
"You idiot, she's hungry! Go to the village and fetch a bucket of growth solution right now!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Soon, Yunzhen felt liquid being poured down on her roots. As her roots moved and absorbed the liquid, her hunger slowly subsided, and she regained her sense of the outside world.
Wait, the roots? The root system?
What has she turned into? Could it be... a tree?!
"Alright, it's alright now. You must remember to water the growth solution on time in the future. Nannan is growing very fast and can't go hungry."
The voice rang out again, and Yunzhen didn't dwell on it much, quickly turning her gaze to the person who was speaking.
This is a tall woman with delicate and striking features, wheat-colored skin, a leather bodice, and a short skirt made of leather. Her waist is slender and supple, and her legs are long and shapely with smooth lines that exude strength. She radiates a healthy and wild beauty.
Yunzhen couldn't tell what kind of animal hide it was made of; it was fiery red, but she thought it looked very eye-catching and beautiful on a woman.
Standing beside her was a handsome man with short black hair, a well-defined face, and deep, three-dimensional features.
His broad upper body was completely uncovered, with clearly defined muscles, while his lower body was covered by a gray animal hide with some wear marks on the edges, quite different from what a woman would wear.
At this moment, the man's eyes were full of surprise, but along with the surprise came confusion and doubt.
He clearly remembered that many of Nannan's leaves had started to turn yellow and wither, clearly indicating that they could not hold on any longer.
That's why he hurriedly called his master to come and see Nannan one last time.
But at this moment, the leaves of the baby girl are lush and green, with not a trace of yellowing.
Perhaps he really misjudged the situation; the little girl was indeed hungry.
It's all his fault for not being able to judge Nannan's needs in time and for not watering her with the growth sap in time.
The man felt guilty.
The woman continued, "Shan, I know this is your first time raising a child, so it's understandable that you're nervous. You can ask others for advice later. I don't want this to happen again. She bore five fruits. Our clan hasn't heard of a baby girl bearing five fruits in nearly a hundred years, so you must take good care of her."
The man, Shan, disregarded his previous doubts and repeatedly assured him, "Yes, Master, I understand. I will definitely take good care of our little girl!"
The woman reached out and touched Yunzhen's body, her tone gentle and loving: "Be a good girl, when all your fruits have ripened and fallen to the ground, I will come to take you home."
After saying that, the woman patted her soothingly before turning and leaving, with Shan following closely behind.
After the two disappeared into the distant jungle, Yunzhen began to ponder their conversation.
The "nannan" they were referring to was probably her, or rather, the tree she was currently possessing.
Judging from what they said, the tree is conscious. To be even bolder, the two people might also be trees, only they have taken human form and can walk freely.
The tree she was on was their child.
However, Yunzhen did not detect the existence of any other consciousness. It is likely that the original owner's consciousness had already dissipated before she arrived, and her arrival was just in time to take over the tree trunk.
So now she can only obediently be a tree, unable to go anywhere.
She really hoped to take human form soon; she wanted to see for herself what kind of world this was.
According to the woman, once all the fruit on her body is ripe, she should be able to transform into human form.
Unfortunately, she couldn't focus on herself, wondering what the fruits looked like and how long it would take for them to ripen.
I wonder what the fruit that grew on its own tastes like; I'll have to try one when the time comes.
Five fruits, she should be fine to try one, right?
