The saplings had grown faster than Xiang Ye had expected.

From the initial size of an arm, the sapling had already reached the thickness of a bowl in less than three months.

Furthermore, its height had grown from about 1.5 meters to about three meters.

This was not the most exaggerated thing. The most exaggerated thing was a willow tree that stood out from the crowd and soared to five meters tall. Its thickness also became about the size of an adult’s thigh.

This willow tree happened to grow beside the cave dug by the female corpse. As for why this willow tree grew so quickly, Xiang Ye felt that it must be because of the female corpse.

This was because its roots happened to extend to the female corpse. If the female corpse had not revived and torn off the roots that had penetrated its body, Xiang Ye believed that the willow tree would have grown bigger.

As for the female corpse…

Xiang Ye stopped calling her a zombie.

Although she had come back from the dead and crawled out of the ground again, she had some other characteristics that were completely different from zombies.

She was nocturnal and would look up at the moon at night. Oh, not exactly looking up, but refining the essence of the moon? Or cultivating?

Her behavior was completely incompatible with zombies.

Therefore, Xiang Ye directly defined her as a Chinese vampire.

It crawled out of the ground with boundless resentment and even took the initiative to cultivate. If this was not a Chinese vampire, what was it?

Because of this, Xiang Ye even gave her a nice name.

“Jiang Xiaocheng.”

The name was borrowed from Jiang Chen, the zombie king. However, Jiang Chen was a male, so it was not appropriate to use this name on Xiaocheng. Although Xiaocheng’s image was a little ugly, she was still a female no matter what, right?

Jiang Xiaocheng’s arrival also provided a lot of help to Xiang Ye.

At the very least, Xiang Ye finally knew his size through Jiang Xiaocheng’s help.

The wasteland nurtured Jiang Xiaocheng, making it carry the aura of the wasteland.

It was also at this moment that Xiang Ye realized that he could possess her body.

This was a new feeling. Xiang Ye, who had become a wasteland, had already forgotten his human senses. It was only after he possessed Jiang Xiaocheng that he found his human senses again.

Therefore, the first thing Xiang Ye did was to size up his surroundings.

The view of the wasteland was too narrow and covered only the sky. He had long had enough of this one-way vision that could not be moved or adjusted.

Xiang Ye was right. He had indeed become a wasteland far away from the city. Through the new perspective he had gotten from Jiang Xiaocheng, he could see the blurry city buildings in the distance. Closer to them was a farmland with broccoli planted in the ground. The rest of the place was a mess of short hills with all kinds of weeds and bushes.

The place he was in happened to be a wasteland, dozens of acres in size.

Of course, it was no longer a wasteland.

Now, the wasteland was neatly planted with saplings. That was the work of the previous public welfare organization.

As no one continued to take care of it after that, the entire wasteland was now overgrown with weeds that were fighting with the surrounding saplings for nutrients on this land.

At a glance, it looked no different from anywhere else.

The only difference was that the place was neatly planted with trees.

“It’s about 25 meters long and 25 meters wide.”

“In other words, my main body is about an acre in size.”

He controlled Jiang Xiaocheng’s body and measured his range with her feet. It was exactly a square shape.

As for why his judgment was accurate, it was because after reaching the extreme of this range, he could not take another step.

“So be it. The land is a little small, but I think it can still expand, right?”

Xiang Ye had turned into an acre of land and turned Jiang Xiaocheng into a zombie. What was impossible?

“If it expands, I might really be able to turn this land into a forest?”

Manipulating Jiang Xiaocheng’s body, Xiang Ye subconsciously touched his chin with his fingertip that was already rotten to the bone with pieces of minced meat dangling. His gentle touch pulled down another piece of muscle from Jiang Xiaocheng’s strange and absurd face.

The zombie was thinking.

At this moment, waves of resentment and hatred rushed into Xiang Ye’s brain. This was Jiang Xiaocheng’s subconscious desire to take back the ownership of her own body.

“What’s the point of hating me? Your resentment doesn’t work on me.”

“Besides, I’m your father. Do you know that?”

“Do you know how painful it was for me to give birth to you?”

“You were fine underground, but you insisted on coming out. I couldn’t lock you underground even if I wanted to.”

“Can’t I use your body to plan our home?”

“What’s the point of getting your body back?”

“You only know how to circle the willow tree and wander around all day. My eyes are blurry from watching you.”

“You want to dig up this willow tree?”

“How can that do? No matter what, this willow tree is connected to you. You can’t do that.”

“Roar~! Roar~!”

More viscous resentment and hatred spewed from the depths of Jiang Xiaocheng’s mind. Xiang Ye looked down at the ground with him at the center. Immediately, a strong wind blew, causing the saplings to tremble in fear.

The snakes and insects underground crawled back to their nests one by one, burying their heads and not moving.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’m afraid of you.”

“Don’t touch that willow tree.”

With that, Xiang Ye separated from Jiang Xiaocheng’s body and returned to the wasteland.

As for Jiang Xiaocheng, who had regained the right to use her body, she seemed to have lost her opponent and circled the largest willow tree in the wasteland again.

Low growls filled the wasteland.

Fret, anger, and frustration were giving her a fever.

“Damn, that’s your sister. You’re really ruthless.”

Jiang Xiaocheng did not listen to Xiang Ye’s thoughts. After circling the willow tree a few more times, as if she had determined her target, she opened her exaggerated mouth and bit down at the trunk of the willow tree. The bark in her mouth fell while the victim trembled vigorously.

A sense of extreme fear spread from the willow tree.

“Stop, stop. What did you do to your sister?”

“Although it uses your body as nourishment, it’s not its fault.”

“Who knew you’d crawl out of the ground again?”

“Didn’t you also break a lot of its roots? It’s already very seriously injured. Let it go.”

Jiang Xiaocheng ignored Xiang Ye. Not only was she biting the willow tree’s trunk with her mouth, but she also reached out her hands and hugged the trunk tightly, stabbing her sharp nails into the inside of the willow tree’s branches.

The willow tree let out a sad howl.
