Modern Cultivation: The Shy Plant Is Timid but Overpowered

[Two male leads, shou-focused + equally matched + happy ending + modern cultivation + academy]

A ridiculously timid shou VS a hot-tempered, fiercely protective gong

Ye Hanxiu was a useless, cowardly mimosa. Luckily, his master took him in, never minded how slow he was, and was willing to teach him cultivation techniques.

One day, his master had to leave. Ye Hanxiu waited and waited until he fell asleep.

When he woke up, his master was there again.

But why was his master in such a sorry state, and why didn’t he recognize him?

Never mind. Even if his master didn’t recognize him, he was still going to follow him!

After all, I’m a useless little plant who can’t do anything without my master.

Bonus scene

Master!

Lin Ru glared at the young man. “Call me that again and I’ll bury you!”

Ye Hanxiu: QAQ

When you bury me, Master, could you leave one leaf sticking out? Just one.

Lin Ru: ...

How does he manage to be both so timid and so obedient?

Bonus scene 2

Inside the examination secret realm.

Ye Hanxiu trembled in fear.

The crowd watching the livestream: That kid won’t last a day!

A week later.

The crowd: That kid’s ridiculously lucky. He hasn’t run into a single powerful demon beast.

Ye Hanxiu ran into an opponent.

The crowd: Whoa! Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. That kid is dead for sure!

Ye Hanxiu thought so too. Terrified, he threw out a casual punch, turned, and ran to hide behind Lin Ru.

So scary! QAQ

Lin Ru: Who’s picking on our little plant? Are you tired of living?

The opponent, knocked to the ground by Ye Hanxiu’s punch, shakily reached out a hand.

Big brother, maybe take a look at who’s bullying whom?

Lin Ru: Our little plant is so delicate he can’t even take care of himself. How could he possibly hit anyone?

The crowd and the opponent: ...

That rose-tinted filter is eight hundred meters thick.
