Why Has the Potted Plant Grown So Fast?

Why Has the Potted Plant Grown So Fast?

If Qi Zixiao had truly been crippled, Snow Maiden naturally wouldn't have feared her, and would even have done everything possible to seize the position of Saintess.

But now, Qi Zixiao was clearly perfectly fine. Seize what the hell?!

Of course, the only choice was to be as obedient as possible.

Elsewhere, at the heart of the Purple Mansion Holy Land stood the resplendent Purple Mansion Palace. Its paths were paved with Spirit Stones, and it floated high in the sky like an eagle striking the nine heavens.

Inside the palace, an elderly man stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Zixiao finally got angry?"

"That's more like it."

"Cultivation is like rowing against the current—if you don't advance, you retreat. Pursuing a flawless state of mind is certainly good, but... without emotions, without tempering oneself through the seven emotions and six desires, one can never truly be complete."

"This... is a good beginning."

Bright Moon Peak, Saintess Pavilion.

Qi Zixiao's anger refused to subside. A flawless state of mind? How could it possibly be flawless at a time like this?!

Her soul had suddenly returned. Qi Zixiao should have been happy, but once she discovered her circumstances and considered all the possibilities, how could she remain calm?

After a long, long time...

Her killing intent finally receded. She sat cross-legged on the bed, her expression changing again and again.

As the Saintess, gifted beyond compare, Qi Zixiao was naturally extremely intelligent. Though she'd never read any transmigration novels or the like, combining them with the changes she'd experienced, she had formed her own conjecture!

Three days.

For some unknown reason, her soul had entered the body of a strange man and ended up in an entirely unfamiliar world.

She had lived in that world for three days using that man's identity.

Then what about her body?!

Judging from the differences before and after, someone had clearly been 'controlling' her body during those three days.

So who had been controlling it?

Qi Zixiao couldn't be certain, but nine times out of ten, it had been that man's soul!!!!

In other words, it was one thing for that man to control her body, but he'd even taken a bath?!!!

(3"∠)

Even though she had thought her state of mind had reached the point where no wave could stir it, she was now so ashamed and furious that she wanted to kill someone.

No one must ever learn of this!

Qi Zixiao instantly made up her mind. She absolutely couldn't let this matter be exposed.

Then, if she didn't want to expose it, she couldn't let anyone know she'd 'become a different person' these past few days, which meant she could only remain 'calm.'

Thinking of that, Qi Zixiao felt even more depressed.

"I'm so pissed off!"

State of mind?

What was that supposed to be?!

At this moment, she was ruled by the seven emotions and six desires in her heart, grinding her teeth.

At the same time, she thought of many, many things...

For example, what exactly had that man done while controlling her body? Had he exposed anything?

And why had something like this happened? Why had their souls suddenly switched back after three days?

How was she supposed to explain this?

Should she go to her master and tell him about this, then ask the old man to find a solution?... Forget it, absolutely not!!!

The most important question was whether this phenomenon was temporary, or whether it would continue forever.

Would her soul and that man's soul switch again?

Too many questions plagued Qi Zixiao, leaving her mind in utter chaos.

First, what had 'she' done over the past three days...

Want to know? Difficult!

She couldn't exactly ask others what she'd done these past three days, could she? Wouldn't that expose everything?

But if she didn't know, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

Ask her master for help? Was she supposed to tell the old man that a man's soul had controlled her body and even bathed in it???

Most importantly, was this a one-time occurrence, or would it keep happening?

By the worst-case calculation, it might continue, perhaps even indefinitely.

"If that's truly the case, then three days should be the limit. At this time three days from now, the truth will reveal itself."

Qi Zixiao analyzed the situation step by step.

"If it doesn't continue, then everyone will be happy. But if we switch again..."

"..."

Thinking of that world's foul, murky air and unfamiliar environment, along with the fact that she needed to cultivate with all her strength to prepare for the Contention of the First Sequence...

Qi Zixiao suddenly felt powerless.

And even that was secondary.

The main problem was that if they really switched again, who knew what incomprehensible things that guy might do?

At the thought that he might do something even more excessive than bathing, Qi Zixiao felt Goosebumps all over her body.

For a cultivator—and a great cultivator already at the Spirit Severance Stage—to get Goosebumps was simply a tale from the dawn of time.

Yet they had truly appeared.

Qi Zixiao: "..."

"I need to think of a way, otherwise..."

She frowned.

At this moment, she could be said to have seen certain problems.

The flawless state of mind she believed she possessed, the one that remained unshaken even if the sky collapsed, actually had a huge problem. She didn't know where the problem lay, but it undeniably existed.

And she truly couldn't remain 'unshaken' over this matter.

So she had to think of something.

Then...

She thought of 'leaving a message.'

Simply put, she would leave behind an Image Recording or something similar. If they really switched again, it would give that guy a warning: if he dared mess around again, then this and that would happen.

Something like laying down three rules.

Qi Zixiao quickly thought of many 'rules,' but then a problem arose.

After the switch, she wouldn't be able to control her body at all, nor could she do anything. What if that guy didn't follow the rules she'd set?

She still had to think of a way...

"How about..."

After considering it from every angle, Qi Zixiao finally felt she had found a feasible method. She immediately began carving a small formation into a Spirit Stone, then started making an 'Image Recording.'

So-called Image Recording was actually a cultivator's method of 'recording video.'

A formation was carved into a Spirit Stone, then the spiritual energy inside the stone was activated. The formation preserved the current image, and as long as spiritual energy remained within the Spirit Stone, the 'recorded footage' could be replayed at any time.

And it played like a 3D projection.

"No, no..."

After recording it once, Qi Zixiao realized she'd omitted quite a few things. She directly crushed the Spirit Stone and started over.

"Still no good."

"I missed another rule..."

The rules grew more and more numerous. After more than a dozen attempts, Qi Zixiao finally stopped, satisfied.

Then, she prepared to summon a Protector Disciple and probe indirectly.

At the very least, she needed to get some idea of whether that guy had given himself away or done anything out of line while controlling her body these past three days!

But after Qi Zixiao had taken only two steps, she suddenly stopped and looked at a potted plant some distance away...

"It's only been three days. Why has it grown so much taller?!"

This was merely an ordinary plant. She had only transplanted it here because it looked nice. It had been nearly two years, yet it hadn't grown much.

But in these three days, it had directly grown more than twice as tall?!!

Why was that?
