When Cultivation Gets Tangled Up in the Plant Kingdom

Su Kui discovered that she had been reincarnated as a minor character in a book: a common foxtail grass growing in a secret realm.

By chance, several companions who had embarked on the path of cultivation had joined her in the secret realm.

The Sword-Board Bean boasted, “I'm a sword cultivator.” (Because its fruit produces lots of swords.)

The Ghost Lantern Fruit boasted, “I'm a ghost cultivator.” (Because the word “ghost” is in its name.)

The King Flower boasted, “I'm a food cultivator.” (Because it's a carnivorous plant.)

They looked at Su Kui and said in unison, “You're a demon cultivator.” (Because she has a dog's tail.)

Su Kui: ...

Wait, is there something the plant world doesn't understand about cultivation?

To improve her cultivation and achieve enlightenment quickly, Su Kui went through a lot of bumps on the road to taking human form. Then she infiltrated a sect to learn human cultivation techniques,

only to run into the powerful master from the book who wanted to use her as an ingredient in medicine. So she found herself the toughest bodyguard around:

Mo Rantong, the future villain from the book who would challenge heaven and earth and plunge the world into chaos.

At this point, Mo Rantong had not yet turned evil. He was the sixth senior brother at the sect, seemingly refined and elegant, but actually short-tempered.

With the most beautiful face, he picked the fiercest fights, and every time he got hurt, he had to spend ten days to half a month in bed.

But ever since a junior sister joined the sect, he no longer worried about getting hurt in a fight.

If he was poisoned, she had an antidote pill. If he was injured, she had healing medicine. She looked after his daily needs and meals, too.

Mo Rantong gazed at the junior sister's face, lovely as a hibiscus in full bloom, and a century of ice melted into a river of spring water.

My junior sister is being so nice to me. Could it be that she wants to cultivate with me as a dual partner?

Su Kui: ...

She looked at her sixth senior brother's heaven-defying martial prowess,

then at his peerlessly handsome face.

Well, it's not as if that would be out of the question.
