All the spirit plants in Luomu Town have withered. In the ruins of the Mother Tree, spirit-plant cultivator Lin Xue finds a little tree child named Xiao Miao, whose palm glows green. He can understand the “cries” of spirit plants and is the only hope of saving the Mother Tree.
She teaches him to recognize Azure Healing Grass and cook spirit-plant porridge. In turn, he secretly uses his faint glow to mend her chafed hands. When demonic plants coil around the crystal bamboo grove, she uses brambles to shield him; he bursts with green light and purifies the poisonous mist. They have felt disheartened while searching for clues on rainy nights and been misunderstood on the Beast-Roar Plains, but every time, he takes her hand and says, “The trees will wait,” and she strokes his silver hair and says, “We’ll face it together.”
From a spirit-plant cultivator who can only heal to one who can wield bamboo blades to cut down demonic vines; from a little one who can barely speak to a guardian who can stand on his own, they save more than just the Mother Tree. They also become the living, lasting “green of companionship” in each other’s lives. What other surprises and fierce battles, hidden among the fragrance of spirit plants, await them on the road to restoring the Mother Tree?
