After Transmigrating as a Blade of Grass (GL) - Chapter 4

He pretended to be helpless and said, “Then we’ll do as Eldest Senior Sister wishes. I’ll go look for Elder Nanshan now.”

After Wang Junting finished speaking, he turned around and quietly lifted the corners of his mouth. The purpose of this visit had already been achieved. Next, they would proceed according to the plan. This time, they would definitely eliminate the future trouble once and for all.

Zhai Wangyou returned to her room and sat down at the table. She looked at the Dream-Entering Grass in the flowerpot. “Junior Brother Wang is going to hold a Dao Companion Ceremony with Little Junior Sister. I do not wish to involve myself in such troublesome matters, so I will leave the sect tomorrow. You…”

Xi Zhou shook her leaves.

Right, what about me? Are you taking me with you?

Poor her. Ever since she arrived in this cultivation world, she had become a blade of grass. She did not even know what the outside of the courtyard looked like.

Borrowing a modern phrase: she really wanted to go out and see the world, to see the vast world beyond.

Zhai Wangyou frowned slightly, then picked up the flowerpot and walked toward the door.

Xi Zhou’s heart immediately filled with wild joy.

Eldest Senior Sister and she were too in sync. Was she going to take her out to look around?

Wuwuwu, they really had a tacit understanding.

The next moment, she was pulled up by the roots again.

Xi Zhou: “…”

#

What the hell?

She looked down and saw the familiar small medicinal field.

No… no way… right?

While digging the soil, Zhai Wangyou planted the Dream-Entering Grass in her hand back into the earth. Her tone was calm. “I do not know how many days this trip will take. Since you grew quite well in this medicinal field, I imagine you should be able to sustain yourself here.”

After spending one night in the flowerpot, Xi Zhou returned to the soil again.

Once she reacted, she began shaking her head frantically.

No, Eldest Senior Sister, take me with you! Everyone should travel together so we can keep each other company!

The Dream-Entering Grass on the ground suddenly shook its leaves wildly. Its thin stem was flexible to an unbelievable degree, as if no matter how much it swayed, it would not break.

Zhai Wangyou vaguely guessed that this grass did not want to return to the medicinal field. She hesitated inwardly for a moment, but soon felt relieved. “There is at least sunlight, rain, and dew outside. If you stay in the flowerpot, I fear it may be improper.”

If she was gone for too long, or if something unexpected happened, this Dream-Entering Grass would not eat rain or dew, nor bathe in sunlight. It would probably find it difficult to survive.

It would be better to move it back into the flowerpot after she returned.

Xi Zhou continued shaking wildly, wishing she could open her mouth and speak.

She did not like staying in the soil. She wanted to go see the big world!

Zhai Wangyou looked at the Dream-Entering Grass, which seemed completely unable to listen to her words, and lightly lowered her brows. “You want to go back into the flowerpot?”

Xi Zhou drooped her leaves up and down.

That’s right. Please let me go back into the pot!

Zhai Wangyou looked at her, and a trace of doubt crossed her eyes. “I am going on a long journey. Can you survive without water?”

Could it be that this Dream-Entering Grass was different from ordinary plants and did not need water at all?

Xi Zhou shook her leaves from side to side.

No, she still needed it.

Zhai Wangyou frowned. She stared at the Dream-Entering Grass before her and asked uncertainly, “You want to leave the sect with me?”

As soon as the words fell, the Dream-Entering Grass began drooping its leaves up and down. Its speed was extremely fast, as though it was afraid Zhai Wangyou would not understand.

It wanted to leave the sect?

Zhai Wangyou glanced at the flowerpot beside her, then looked back at the Dream-Entering Grass.

A moment later, she transplanted the Dream-Entering Grass back into the flowerpot.

Xi Zhou felt delighted. Then, her vision suddenly went black, and she could no longer see anything.

She looked around. Everything was pitch-black, and she could not see a thing. The air was also very thin, as though she had entered a sealed box.

In just a few breaths, she felt it become difficult to breathe. She could barely catch her breath.

Xi Zhou immediately began swaying frantically.

Dear heavens, where was this? She hadn’t transmigrated again, had she?

Eldest Senior Sister, save me! Did you see this? Help! I’m going to suffocate!

As if her prayers had been heard, Xi Zhou’s vision turned white, and she escaped from that sealed box.

She breathed deeply. Before her was the familiar scenery, as well as the familiar Eldest Senior Sister.

What had just happened?

Zhai Wangyou asked indifferently, “You cannot breathe inside a storage ring?”

A storage ring? That magical kind of ring that could store many things?

Xi Zhou froze for a moment, then finally understood what had happened. So just now, she had been tossed into a storage ring.

That was too terrifying.

Do not misunderstand. She was not saying the storage ring was terrifying. She was saying Eldest Senior Sister was terrifying.

She had actually thrown her directly into the ring. Did she take Xi Zhou for a little lab rat? When doing experiments, one had to be cautious, understand? What if one careless move cost Xi Zhou her grass life?

Seeing that the Dream-Entering Grass before her did not react for a moment, Zhai Wangyou’s eyes showed inquiry. “You can breathe inside the storage ring?”

Living things could not be placed inside a storage ring. She had only wanted to test it just now. When she saw this grass shaking wildly, she had guessed that it probably could not.

Had she guessed wrong?

When Xi Zhou heard this, she could no longer care about sulking. She hurriedly shook her leaves.

No, she did not have that ability. There was no oxygen inside.

Zhai Wangyou fell silent.

It seemed it could not breathe inside.

Then how was she supposed to take a blade of grass out with her? Was she supposed to carry the pot in her hands?

Seeing her cold expression and not knowing what she was thinking, Xi Zhou could not help feeling uneasy.

Eldest Senior Sister would not regret it, right? Was she no longer willing to take her out?

She looked at Zhai Wangyou’s delicate, fair chin. After struggling inwardly for a moment, she bent her body down.

Zhai Wangyou felt an itch on her hand. She lowered her head and saw that the Dream-Entering Grass in the flowerpot had bent almost ninety degrees, using its long, slender leaf to gently stroke her hand.

Its thin stem twisted this way and that, controlling its leaf. The scene was bizarre.

Zhai Wangyou silently watched. For some reason, a trace of worry appeared in her heart. She was truly afraid this grass would twist itself until it snapped.

Xi Zhou concentrated and finished writing the three characters “Take me with you” in traditional characters. Only then did she straighten her body, looking at Zhai Wangyou with anticipation.

“You are trying to please me?” Zhai Wangyou’s voice rose and fell slightly, as though she found it somewhat unbelievable.

Xi Zhou shook her leaves.

You’re overthinking it. This grass has dignity too, okay?

What did she mean by trying to please her? She was expressing her determination to go see the big world.

Thus, that strange scene from just now repeated itself. She bent down again and wrote on the back of Zhai Wangyou’s hand once more.

This time, Zhai Wangyou seemed to understand.

She turned and went back into the room, poured half a bowl of ink, then spread out a sheet of white paper. Finally, she placed the flowerpot between the bowl and the paper and patiently looked at the Dream-Entering Grass on the table.

Xi Zhou paused.

Actually, water would have worked too, right?

If this ink stained her body, would it dye her black as well? If it only dyed the grass black, that would be one thing. But what if she had another chance to enter a dream in the future and turned into a pitch-black person…

That scene simply could not be imagined…

She glanced at Eldest Senior Sister.

Forget it. They could not communicate properly right now. She should not be too fussy.

“Take me with you.”

The three characters appeared vividly on the paper.

Zhai Wangyou’s brows moved. She asked, “You are only a blade of grass. How do you know how to read and write? Did you use dream-entering methods to go into other people’s dreams and learn from them?”

This grass really was not honest.

Xi Zhou was dumbfounded.

It seemed she should not have written. She had a premonition that her days ahead would no longer be happy. She did not know how to write all traditional characters.

She sighed inwardly, then wrote: “I was originally human.”

Zhai Wangyou’s heart jolted.

Human?

What kind of person?

Why would she be residing inside a blade of grass?

Was she the woman from the dream?

In her memory, she had never seen her before. Could it be…

“You are someone from the Demon Race?” No wonder she knew that kind of dual-cultivation method.

Xi Zhou immediately shook her leaves.

How had she become someone from the Demon Race again?

Heaven have mercy. She was just an ordinary college student. Who knew how she had ended up in this damned place and become a blade of grass with no human rights?

Seeing her deny it, Zhai Wangyou said thoughtfully, “How can I believe you?”

Could she be some ancient sage? Had she possessed this blade of grass?

Then between them…

Before Xi Zhou could react, Zhai Wangyou asked calmly again, “How old are you?”

Xi Zhou froze, then subconsciously wrote: “Twenty.”

Why had she suddenly asked about her age?

Zhai Wangyou lowered her eyes without speaking.

A year younger than her. It seemed she was someone of the same generation, not some senior.

No.

Just this grass’s one-sided words were not enough to be trusted.

What if this grass was someone from the Demon Race and was deliberately deceiving her…

She reached out and pinched one of the Dream-Entering Grass’s leaves. Her tone was cold. “Why are you so insistent on leaving the sect with me?”

Xi Zhou fell into thought.

That was a good question.

Before she could think of how to answer, a sharp pain suddenly spread through her body.

Hiss. This woman was actually being ruthless toward her, pinching her leaf so hard.

This was a threat, wasn’t it?

No, this was practically torture to force a confession.
