When reading this book, don't use your brain; leave your brain here.
Yunxi is a peach tree spirit living deep in the mountains. She has lived for a very long time, but she can no longer remember exactly how many years she has lived.
All that is known is that she has lived through thousands of springs, summers, autumns, and winters since she became conscious.
The little peach tree spirit's only dream was to ascend to heaven and become a peach blossom fairy in the Heavenly Court, so that she could have endless nectar and dew and countless fresh fruits.
Just thinking about this kind of life makes her incredibly happy.
For a peach tree, being happy means shaking its branches vigorously.
That day, she vaguely sensed that her ascension tribulation was approaching, but for some reason, she also had another bad premonition.
She quickly stuffed everything useful within a one-mile radius of the peach tree roots into her soul's origin space.
If she survives the heavenly tribulation, she can ascend to the immortal realm with all her belongings.
If we can't get through it, then it won't benefit others.
The little peach tree spirit was just that stingy. Because she hadn't seen much of the outside world, everything was very confusing to her. She just instinctively put away things she thought were useful.
After all, the tree roots can only reach this wide area. Beyond a mile, no matter how much she longs for it, she can't reach it.
As the tribulation clouds in the sky grew increasingly terrifying, the little peach tree spirit trembled with fear, looking at the peach blossoms on its branches and leaves, worried that they would be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.
This was the essence of her life, how could she bear to let the peach blossoms on the branch turn to ashes? So she simply stored them all in her original space.
There are already many peach petals in the primordial space, all collected from flowers that have bloomed over the past thousand years.
She never bore fruit because she felt that bearing fruit would consume too much spiritual energy. As a very stingy person, how could she possibly expend her spiritual energy to bear fruit that she couldn't eat?
Looking at the thunderclouds in the sky, the little peach tree spirit felt that she might not be able to survive the tribulation; the lightning was simply too terrifying.
I felt like I couldn't take it any longer, and I was already thinking about how to preserve my spiritual consciousness.
…………
When the little peach tree spirit regained consciousness, she actually transformed into the appearance of someone she remembered.
Recalling the moment the lightning struck, her whole body trembled uncontrollably. Just as she had imagined, she was instantly reduced to ashes by the first strike.
Fortunately, perhaps it was because Heaven cherishes life that it knew this little peach tree spirit had never committed any acts of killing, so it gave her a chance to live.
Just as she was about to examine her own body, two conflicting memories in her mind caused her to collapse onto the bed.
Fortunately, the peach tree spirit was a demon who had lived for over a thousand years, and its soul was more solid. It quickly absorbed the other memory into its mind.
At the same time, he also learned about the condition of his current body.
This body is called Yunxi. She has been living with her grandmother since she was a child. Her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her younger brother.
My father was a military officer. After my mother passed away, he did not remarry. He just focused on training and going on missions every day.
I would occasionally come back to visit the original owner when I had a day off.
The reason the little girl's body was taken over by the peach tree spirit was simply because her father died a heroic death while on a mission.
The grandmother, who had raised him since he was a child, couldn't bear the blow of losing her son, and being quite old, she passed away.
The little girl had already lost her beloved father, and now her grandmother, who had been with her since childhood, had also passed away, making it difficult for her to cope with the blow.
One night, he suddenly developed a high fever and, because no one was watching over him, he burned himself to death.
If the peach tree spirit hadn't taken over this body, it would probably have been found dead inside the house by tomorrow.
Having absorbed all the memories of this body, the little peach tree spirit knew that the city she was in was a small village in the north, and most of the people in the village were surnamed Yun, meaning they were all related from generation to generation.
The little girl's family seemed to be several generations removed from the rest of the village, and she didn't have many friends except for spending time with her grandmother.
Although the little peach tree spirit was a bit naive, she had lived for such a long time and didn't understand many human habits. However, she knew that as long as she didn't associate with humans, no one would realize that she wasn't the original little girl.
The little peach tree spirit originally thought that she would become a fairy in the heavens after she passed the tribulation of lightning, but now she has not passed the tribulation of lightning and has become a human that she has only heard of.
She heard other plants tell her that some humans are particularly terrifying; even when they hunt together, after catching their prey, they kill the other person.
Or, if they discover some precious medicinal herbs, they might simply push anyone who knows about them off a cliff deep in the mountains.
The peach tree spirit was initially afraid, but now that she has received the little girl's memories, she feels that humans are not so scary after all.
After all, in her memory, everyone worked together and chatted and laughed while walking on the road, and there didn't seem to be so many scary things.
It was already getting light outside. From my memory, I knew that I should go to work after daybreak.
Although she didn't understand what working was at that time, she knew that everyone had to work in the same place so that they could share food and not worry about going hungry.
Just then, my stomach started growling.
The little peach tree spirit was startled at first, because she had never eaten anything before. When she was hungry, she only needed to absorb a little bit of the earth's energy and the spiritual energy in the sky.
She quickly realized from her memory that she should make something to eat so her stomach would stop growling.
At this moment, the little peach tree spirit suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted being too stingy and not letting the peach blossoms on her body bear fruit. If she had let them bear fruit, she wouldn't be starving now.
After the room was lit up, it was already broad daylight outside, and only then could one see the current situation of their room.
Besides the kang (heated brick bed) where I woke up, there was a desk in the room, and a stool next to it. There were books and other things on the desk.
Although the little peach tree spirit didn't recognize any of those things at first, she had already absorbed all the memories. When she saw something, the name of that thing would subconsciously appear in her mind.
