Chapter 151: Chapter 151: No Slap Goes Unrewarded (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

"No, I checked. The saplings planted in the space come with a purification ability. Staying close to Xiao Jinsheng forms a positive cycle and can even help her resist the poisonous fog."

"Is it similar to the Mermaid Pearl or the Blood Demon Gemstone?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

"There are differences," Caicai explained. "The two you mentioned exhaust their energy when resisting poisonous fog, and once depleted, they’re gone—just like the Durable Bracelet you received from the terminal."

"But your saplings are alive. If they can’t disperse the poisonous fog, you can take them back to the space to replant for a while and then transplant them back again."

"If you can create a complete ecosystem, set up defensive arrays along with energy provision, these trees can function outside of the space, recycling their strength to purify the poisonous fog."

Xiao Jinsheng raised her brows as she listened. "Like Plants vs. Zombies."

Poisonous fog equals Fog Corpse.

She has to plant trees, set up arrays, and establish an ecosystem.

Isn’t this just an apocalyptic reality version of Plants vs. Zombies?

"What’s that? A game?" Yu Yunxiao asked curiously.

"It really is a game, but unfortunately, you can’t play it." Xiao Jinsheng shook her head nostalgically.

Not only Yu Yunxiao couldn’t play it.

She couldn’t play it either.

Xiao Jinsheng pulled out a single-seater sofa, sat in the middle of the circle of glowing saplings, propped her chin, and pondered deeply.

Today’s influx of information in such a short hour was overwhelming; she needed to sort things out.

The apocalypse of Mist Continent and the Fog Corpses were likely caused by the terminal.

The way to disperse the poisonous fog is to plant trees.

Plant the terminal’s trees from Cloud Island.

Plant her space trees because she is the Star Stone Origin, and the trees have purification effects.

The most bizarre thing for Xiao Jinsheng was still the fact that she is the Star Stone Origin.

The information was limited for now.

Neither she nor Caicai could answer why she became the Star Stone Origin.

Xiao Jinsheng’s imagination ran wild, and she asked the men and Caicai, "If I’m the Star Stone Origin, do you think I’m a person or just a piece of stone?"

Caicai: "Huh?"

Huaiqing paused, adjusted his glasses, and smiled behind the lenses.

"Doesn’t matter. The snake’s nest is in a cave full of stones anyway," Mo Jiao sneered.

"Read some stories," Que Zelian chuckled lightly. "Birds seem to have a natural affinity for pebbles."

"Female Master~" Shi Xie grinned at Xiao Jinsheng. "My underwater residence was also built with many beautiful stones."

"Stone? Demon?" Li mused, then had a flash of insight: "Blood Demon Gemstone, Demon Stone?"

"As expected, we’re truly destined for each other." Li exclaimed, clutching Xiao Jinsheng’s arm dramatically.

"Starting to daydream again." Yu Yunxiao scoffed at Li’s remark. "Her imagination is wild, but yours is even wilder."

Su Ye: "Stubborn stone?"

Xiao Jinsheng froze.

She turned her gaze to Su Ye, who was suppressing laughter.

Infuriated, Xiao Jinsheng jumped up from the sofa and rushed toward him, slapping him on the butt. "How come people only learn to tolerate you when they’re pushed to their limit?"

Before reconciling, Su Ye had been frightening her.

After reconciling—

Su Ye no longer scared her.

But now, he had started to annoy her.

"I don’t know, at least to me, you’re still human." Caicai answered.

At this point, whether she was stone or not no longer mattered to Xiao Jinsheng.

She had a new mission.

Like the other Beast Husbands, she had to control the growth of her own strength, keeping it below Ten Stars.

Start planting trees, disperse the poisonous fog, and eliminate the Fog Corpses, which would weaken the terminal’s power.

Finally, she needed to capture the Insect Brain and restore the memories that had been altered.

After all, not even Caicai could explain why she became the Star Stone Origin.

With a new plan and goal in mind, Xiao Jinsheng led her Beast Husbands back to Demon Territory to strategize.

The first step to combating the terminal: she needed to plant trees to establish a territory free of poisonous fog and completely under her control.

Xiao Jinsheng, along with her Beast Husbands, gathered around the sand table map of Demon Territory, discussing where and how to plant trees.

Unbeknownst to her, back at her faraway home in Moon City in the Mist East, an uninvited guest had arrived.

Bai Yan endured a day of pain, then used the Insect Brain to disguise her physical condition as improved, convincing Jin Ao to leave her room.

As soon as Jin Ao left, Bai Yan, alone in her room, used the short-range space teleportation created by the Insect Brain to hide directly in the adjoining room—Yu Yunxiao’s bedroom.

The room was eerily quiet, and Bai Yan did her best to minimize her presence.

The Insect Brain scanned the house and spoke up. "No need to hide; there’s no one home."

"They’re probably out planting trees. It’ll be dark soon; I’ll wait a bit longer." Bai Yan hugged her arms, enduring the pain caused by the cold poison.

"You really—suffering like this, what difference does it make to die one more time?" The Insect Brain said, exasperated.

"My life was earned from upgrading spiritual power," Bai Yan stressed. "The highest level is Twelve Stars, and I can only have a maximum of twelve lives."

"Every death means one less guarantee of survival."

"Besides, spiritual power is hard to increase. Xiao Jinsheng is already at Eight Stars, while I’m still stuck at Seven."

"Alright, alright," the Insect Brain replied. "Just stop complaining and keep waiting if you want."

But the waiting dragged on—from sunset to moonrise.

The sky outside was pitch black, and still, there was no sign of Xiao Jinsheng or her family.

Bai Yan grew anxious. "She isn’t staying out planting all night, is she?"

She knew Xiao Jinsheng well—someone who wouldn’t suffer hardship and loved comfort.

Plus, the planting site wasn’t far from the small villa. If Xiao Jinsheng could return home to relax, she wouldn’t consider camping outdoors.

Bai Yan shivered and gritted her teeth. "System, teleport me to her planting site. Let’s check it out."

Time could no longer be wasted.

If she stayed gone too long, and Jin Ao returned to her room, he’d find out she was missing.

"The time reversal drained much of the energy, and we’re still waiting for energy recovery. Don’t waste it," the Insect Brain warned. "Are you sure you still want to teleport there?"

"Do it," Bai Yan demanded.

She couldn’t wait any longer.

Without treatment, the cold poison was worsening.

And... she was already close to her breaking point.

Bai Yan gasped weakly as the Insect Brain helped her reach the outskirts of the tree-planting site.

Enduring her pain, she cautiously approached the area.

Under the moonlight, the planting site appeared barren.

She didn’t see Xiao Jinsheng or her family anywhere.

Even the trees were just a handful planted the previous day.

"So she didn’t come here to plant today at all," Bai Yan concluded.

Xiao Jinsheng wasn’t at home, nor was she planting trees.

Where could she have gone?

Using her frostbitten, dizzy mind to figure it out, Bai Yan’s thoughts failed her—until her vision went black, and she passed out from the pain.

The Insect Brain stared at Bai Yan lying unconscious in the wilderness. "Oh, come on... Passed out here?"

"Host?"

"Seriously, I can’t believe this."

"I told you not to endure it. Die once, lose one life, and you’d be back with a perfectly healthy body."

Muttering, the Insect Brain searched around.

It looked at Bai Yan, who was pale-faced, half-frozen, and covered in frost.

Clucking with sinister laughter, it said, "Humans, so indecisive—looks like I’ll have to help you."

With that, a teleportation vortex opened, sucking Bai Yan in and dropping her in front of a hungry Mutant Beast.
