[The Spirit Plant series, still featuring male pregnancy (dragon lays eggs)]
Hualing Miao, a cat-person, transmigrated to another world, cultivated until she became a great cultivator, then ascended back to Earth with her eccentric sect.
She'd hoped to play the gracious host, but everywhere she looked, the land was devastated.
Her senior sister, a fellow feline, poked at the soil and grimaced. "Forget having no nutrients, it's as hard as stone! How's Miaomiao supposed to bury her golden fertilizer now?"
Her second senior brother, a koi, took a breath and looked despairing. "Ah, this air is toxic. It's not just poisoning my lungs, it's poisoning my unbeatable lucky-koi constitution!"
Their junior brother, an auspicious beast from myth and legend, stared at the foul-smelling pond. "Second Senior Brother, you don't have lungs, you have gills. But you can jump in and see how toxic it is."
Hualing Miao felt ashamed, and bitterly reluctant. Was her beautiful Earth, with its green mountains and clear waters, really gone?
No way. She had to get back on her feet, start over, restore the old land, and meow to the heavens!
Hualing Miao: Plant one spirit plant. Air freshness +1, local oxygen content +1%, local soil fertility +1%.
Junior Brother: Senior Sister Miaomiao is so cool! Meow, fewer words, lots of attitude. My cultivation's too weak, so I'll give you a 666-like performance!
Hualing Miao: Plant one spirit plant. Local water cleanliness +1%, lucky-koi fortune +1%.
Second Senior Brother: Junior Sister is so awesome! My cultivation's restricted too, so I'll make you a cat meal!
Hualing Miao: Toss one spirit plant into the pond. Heavy metal content -1%, harmful microbes in the pond -1%.
Senior Sister: Not to be outdone, she tossed a spirit plant at Miaomiao's feet. Cat grass +1.
In the year 233 of the Wasteland Era, people living in underground shelters suddenly discovered a group of strange animals livestreaming for them.
At first, they thought it was just a bunch of idiots driven crazy by the toxic air and water.
Later, they all crowded into the livestream...
"Fresh-air sunflowers, limited stock: 666 pots. First come, first served."
Damn it, I paid ten thousand in advance and still didn't get one!
"Water-purifying houttuynia, limited stock: 999 plants. First come, first served."
Damn it, I nearly broke my finger tapping the phone screen and still didn't get one!
"Soil-enriching Veronica, limited stock: 1,111 plants. First come, first served."
Damn it, I've been waiting since preorders opened. How are they still sold out? QAQ
A long, long time later, the green mountains returned, and the clear waters flowed once more.
The vast planet was covered in blooming flowers and lush green.
One day, a certain ancient divine beast, reclining deep in the mountains with countless golden treasures in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes.
A swaying little blade of grass poked the tip of his nose. It was ticklish and tingled.
It smelled a little sweet, a little fresh, too.
Just as he was about to examine what kind of grass it was, a small figure appeared at the cave entrance. "Who are you?"
Hualing Miao had spent many hard days purifying this mountain, never expecting to find a huge, huge, huge monster lurking here!
She did a backflip and struck a defensive pose. "Cats react seven times faster than snakes! Come on, who's afraid of you?"
The divine beast was captivated by her agile, graceful figure. His ears grew warm as he gently reminded her, "I'm not a snake~"
Hualing Miao held her stance. "A local snake is still a snake! Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
After a "friendly" exchange, Hualing Miao suddenly appeared in the livestream, pointing the camera at the dragon showing off in the sky.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Hualing Miao, the Spirit Plant Queen. The big snake flying up there is your queen, and he's got eggs in his belly! My seeds!"
A dragon's roar rang out on the gentle breeze. "How many times have I told you? I'm really not a snake!"
