Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 906: Chapter 40: Vitality (Part 2)

The hornets are like a scorching flame, leaving chaos in their wake.

They were the different cultivators they would rather die than encounter again.

Yezi’s swarm of hornets, when first arriving in the Rachel region, hadn’t yet reached today’s size.

But after entering the plot in Area 51, his hornet swarm rapidly multiplied at an exponential speed.

And inside his Spirit Rhinoceros Ring, Little Pig and Dream Beast were also undergoing changes.

Little Pig’s once fat, short, round body had entirely transformed.

It changed from a "turkey" bird into a Phoenix Bird adorned with beautiful long feathers.

Yezi’s originally wavering heart also changed in the midst of these transformations.

Just a few days ago, he suddenly had a premonition that Xiao Xian was still alive, a strong premonition that was also confirmed by Little Pig.

Little Pig had sensed Xiao Xian’s scent.

"Just ahead," Little Pig’s red silhouette darted past, pecking aggressively at the leading air force captain’s head.

Yezi was gracious enough not to take the lives of these bumbling soldiers.

Little Pig quickly led Yezi to the collapsed area of Mafu Lake.

The sunken pit was a hundred zhang wide, exposing only the Gobi stones.

A month after the incident, the area had been thoroughly investigated multiple times.

Yezi walked a circle nearby, and as he was about to cross the Mafu Lake area, he stopped.

It was drawn in by a long, familiar patch of cattail.

His fingers brushed across the cattail, and Yezi’s heart raced.

He had seen this cattail before; Xiao Xian used it to weave cushions. He had seen the grass used for cushions in an Agricultural Specialty Store, it was this grass.

What was it called again, cattail.

Cattail, Yezi’s joyful expression quickly froze as he realized someone stood behind him.

Silently, unnoticed, just standing right behind him.

What is that stupid bird Little Pig doing? Yezi cursed inwardly.

Little Pig let out a joyful chirp. A kindred spirit, it smelled a kindred spirit.

A person imbued with alien scent as well.

The person who had disappeared for over two years, "Mei Nian," stood behind Yezi.

She laughed crisply: "Hey kid, we’re meeting again."

Seeing that the newcomer bore no intent to harm, Yezi finally turned around relieved.

The woman before him... Yezi didn’t remember ever meeting this woman, so why was her tone so familiar?

"How could you not remember? Let me refresh your memory," "Mei Nian" flicked her finger, causing the ground to shift as countless roots spread out, preventing Yezi from summoning his hornets.

"You... it’s you, I remember now, you’re the Ginseng Spirit who trapped the real ’Mei Nian’ inside you." Yezi blurted out, his face dramatically changed once he realized he remembered Xiao Xian warned not to reveal matters about "Mei Nian."

He truly put his foot in his mouth, Yezi wanted to slap himself.

"Wait, why are you here, and what is the deal with these cattails?" Yezi wasn’t stupid, on the contrary, he was quite sharp.

Patches of cattail and the suddenly appearing "Ginseng Spirit."

"Perhaps ask your little pet, oh I should respectfully call it Yu Huang. It’s been nearly ten thousand years since I’ve seen a Yu Huang that can traverse cosmic spaces." Human God Spirit Baby, also known as Fake Mei Nian, remarked sentimentally.

Little Pig loyally perched on Yezi’s shoulder, chirping a few times.

"What, are you saying you and this creature...this senior," Yezi mumbled in grievance after being pecked as a warning by Little Pig, "both come from Beast Star. It’s different from you; it was forced, brought to earth by cultivators."

Yezi, having some understanding of different cultivators, could barely accept the concept of cultivators.

"Yes, but I am not alone, I used to have other companions. I believe the mutated jellyfish human that caused numerous military personnel casualties here is one of my companions." Because of a bet with the Xu Family, the "Ginseng Spirit Baby" closely monitored the situation during the international exchange activity two years ago, suspecting other Beast Star clusters exist on Earth after learning of Xiao Xian’s disappearance and the Area 51 situation feedback.

She resolutely came to Area 51.

"You mean, you mean you’ve been here for two years already. Did you find Xiao Xian?" Yezi arrived in the United States during the later stages of a military search, unable to find any clues locally.

With the "Ginseng Spirit Baby’s" abilities, coupled with its extraordinarily developed plant roots, it should be able to find many things beyond human instruments’ detection.

"I’m sorry," the "Ginseng Spirit Baby" shook its head.

The newly kindled flame of hope in Yezi’s heart extinguished instantly.

He truly was too naive, Xiao Xian had been missing for two years; if she had been found by the Ginseng Spirit Baby, she’d surely have returned to China immediately, at the very least, she would’ve contacted her family.

But she didn’t; over these two years, she never reached out to her family—not even a single call.

"I only found one person; the other was already breathless when I discovered them," the Ginseng Spirit Baby reflected solemnly. Even though "she" isn’t human, during the period of interacting with humans, "she" attempted to adapt to human life.

Despite having entered the area during that period, interference from the military’s large-scale grid-like searches forced her to conduct searches only at night.

After seven days of searching, she finally discovered a crevice beneath Mafu Lake, more than ten thousand meters in depth, almost reaching the earth’s crust.

In that crevice, she found that person. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian () to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.)
