My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: He Must Have Taken The Wrong One

After walking for some distance, Elder Lu looked at the sky and asked, “Young master, shall we stay in the city for the night?”

Qin Yi knew that he wasn’t able to make the decision in this group so he looked at Gold Xiao’er.

“Brother Gold, what do you think?”

Gold Xiao’er glanced at him.

He really wanted to tell this fellow that he couldn’t make the decision either.

He turned to look at Lu Xiaoyuan and asked, “Master Deer, what do you think?”

Lu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment before replying, “Let’s stay here tonight.”

At this moment, Qin Yi finally understood that Lu Xiaoyuan was the decision-maker of the group.

She either had the highest cultivation state or was the eldest among them.

His guess was partially right.

Lu Xiaoyuan was a hundred thousand years old and she had the highest cultivation state amongst everyone in the group.

Qin Yi looked up at the sky and felt that it was still early. Hence, he suggested, “How about this? We will put our horses in the inn and then we can take a tour around the city.”

“Sure.” Gold Xiao’er accepted this suggestion.

“Let me do it,” Elder Lu smiled and said.

“Okay.” Qin Yi nodded.

The few of them soon passed their horses to Elder Lu so that he could bring them to the inn.

Elder Lu told them that he would find them immediately after he was done.

…

On the streets.

Lu Xiaoyuan pulled Yaoyao and kept wandering around. She was extremely curious about everything since she never saw them before.

After the initial exclamation, Zhou Ye started to lose his interest.

His past life was during modern times. The technology was very advanced and he was able to have some basic understanding of ancient times through television programs. That was why he was very calm now.

Qin Yi acted as the tour guide.

Yaoyao held a pink fragrance pouch in her hand and said to Lu Xiaoyuan, “This looks good and it smells nice. Sister Deer, do you want to smell it?”

Lu Xiaoyuan glanced at her. She immediately picked Zhou Ye up and showed him to Yaoyao.

What she meant was: No matter how fragrant your fragrant pouch is, it cannot be compared to my little plant spirit.

Yaoyao stared at Zhou Ye and sighed after some time.

“The refreshing fragrance on the plant spirit is invigorating too. It’s hard to explain,” Yaoyao said.

Zhou Ye heard what she said and wanted to reply, ‘Don’t lay your eyes on me. I’m the little plant spirit you can never get.’

At the same time, he felt a little proud.

I, Zhou Ye, is a movable fragrance!

Qin Yi noticed that there were fewer and fewer people on the streets so he looked at the sky again and said to Lu Xiaoyuan, “Master Deer, it’s getting late. Do you think we should go back to the inn now?”

“Elder Lu hasn’t come to look for us.” Lu Xiaoyuan looked at her surroundings but there were no signs of Elder Lu.

“There.” Qin Yi pointed at the end of a street.

Looking at the direction he was pointing, everyone saw Elder Lu hurrying towards them.

“Okay, let’s go. I’m hungry too.” Lu Xiaoyuan nodded.

Then, everyone started walking towards Elder Lu.

Gold Xiao’er walked right at the back of the group. He paused for a moment and turned to look at the second floor of a building at the side of the street.

There was a man looking at them. He was dressed as an ordinary civilian.

When their gazes met, the person hurriedly turned and walked away.

“Interesting.” Gold Xiao’er smiled and ignored him.

Being powerful was his confidence.

The other party couldn’t beat him no matter what. How saddening.

Everyone soon met up with Elder Lu.

“Elder Lu, how is it?” Qin Yi opened his mouth and asked.

“It’s all settled. Young master, everyone, follow me.” Elder Lu nodded at Qin Yi before speaking to everyone.

“Let’s go.”

Everyone followed behind Elder Lu. After walking through a few streets, they finally arrived at the inn.

Zhou Ye looked at the words written on the plaque. He realized that he actually didn’t recognize the words.

That was a little awkward.

However, he noticed that he wasn’t the only one who didn’t recognize the words. Lu Xiaoyuan, Gold Xiao’er, and Yaoyao didn’t recognize the words either.

He felt better when he thought about this.

In this world, I’m not the only illiterate person.

“This is Yuelai Inn. It means come here often if you’re happy,” Qin Yi smiled as he explained.

Zhou Ye was speechless.

How powerful was Yuelai Inn? It exists even in another world. Their business was really big.

“I see.” Lu Xiaoyuan nodded calmly.

“Let’s go in.”

Everyone entered the inn. Soon, the waiter brought everyone to the private room on the second floor for their meal.

This was obviously the treatment only given to wealthy customers.

However, Qin Yi had the token of the Inspection Bureau so he settled everything with just a single sentence.

“What would you like to have?” The waiter asked them politely.

“Bring us all your specialty dishes,” when Lu Xiaoyuan said this sentence, she exuded a dominating aura.

The corners of Qin Yi’s mouth twitched.

Yuelai Inn had franchises all over the country. So, naturally, their prices were high.

Their specialty dishes were extremely expensive too.

He felt a little worried that he might not have enough money.

Everyone present was his elder. As their junior, he felt that he should treat them.

Elder Lu sensed Qin Yi’s difficulty so he patted the back of Qin Yi’s hand and used his gaze to comfort him. ‘Don’t worry, young master. With me around, we can wash plates if we can’t afford the meal.’

“What else do you need?” The waiter gave a standard smile.

Lu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment before saying, “Give us top-quality wine.”

“Sure.” The waiter acknowledged her and said, “Please wait for a moment. We will serve the dishes in a while.”

The waiter left the room politely and closed the door behind him.

Qin Yi glanced at Lu Xiaoyuan. He didn’t expect Master Deer to like to drink wine.

Lu Xiaoyuan was chatting with Yaoyao.

She didn’t notice that Zhou Ye had fallen on the ground.

“Another feast but I can’t participate. This is so frustrating.” Zhou Ye sat on the ground and felt irritated.

His desire to change his form became stronger and stronger.

He hadn’t eaten for a long period of time. It made him miss the smell of food dearly.

As he thought about this.

Zhou Ye told himself that once he reached Qin Yi’s residence, he must pick a few valuable spirit herbs.

That way, he would be able to absorb more all-purpose points and use them to level up his cultivation state.

With those spirit plants, He felt that it would be very easy for him to reach the Xuan Core realm.

…

Outside the private room.

The waiter carried a few cold dishes and was preparing to push the door.

“Slap.”

A blunt, soft sound was heard. The waiter collapsed.

Then, two people dressed up like waiters quickly stretched their hands to catch the falling dishes.

They were very agile so none of the dishes spilled.

“We are so close to them. Won’t they discover us?” One of the waiters frowned. He was a little worried.

“Don’t worry. They aren’t that strong.” The other waiter sniggered softly.

“Plus, it’s so noisy downstairs. They won’t be able to hear us even if we yell.” The waiter pointed to the bustling first floor. He wasn’t anxious at all.

“That’s good.”

Then, one of them quietly took out a small bag from his clothes. He opened the small bag and sprinkled some white powder on the dishes.

The moment the white powder touched the dishes, it instantly dissolved into transparent liquid. No one will be able to notice anything amiss.

“Even an immortal will die after consuming this Hundred Poison Powder.” The waiter sneered.

“Take this waiter away. I will watch over them.”

After finishing this sentence, the waiter pushed the door open with a polite smile on his face.

“Why are you so slow?” Qin Yi looked at the waiter unhappily.

“I’m really sorry. The waiter just now suddenly needed to use the washroom so I was asked to serve you instead. Please accept my apology for the delay.” The waiter kept bowing apologetically.

He sounded as though he was being really sincere.

He placed the cutleries down before placing the dishes on the middle of the table.

Then, he stood by the door and smiled as he watched them.

He was extremely pleased with his performance. He felt that this was such a simple task.

Gold Xiao’er glanced at the waiter without saying anything.

Qin Yi smiled at everyone and said, “Brother Gold, Master Deer, Miss Yaoyao, please have some food.”

“Alright.” Gold Xiao’er nodded.

Then, the three of them took their chopsticks and started taking the food.

Gold Xiao’er placed a piece of mixed cold cucumber in his mouth and smiled. “The taste is not bad.”

Hearing this, the waiter standing by the door slowly gave a cold smile.

He counted slowly in his heart.

Three

Two

One

Down!

The time had already passed but the three of them were still eating happily.

The expression on the waiter’s face froze.

He was dumbfounded.

He felt that he must have given the wrong dish.

But, there was no need to feel anxious. There were still other chances. He must remain calm and not expose himself.
