Taking The House With Me [MTL]

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 [EDITED]

After conducting some research, Yu Xue finally confirmed one thing: the cactus thorns had a transformative effect on her body. The most noticeable change was the presence of long thorns on her vines, making them look extremely fierce.

She excitedly tested the vine by whipping it at her newly bought white goose pillow, and the thorns effortlessly hooked and pulled out some of the pillow's feathers. It appeared to be highly lethal.

Although she felt a bit sad about damaging her beloved pillow, she couldn't help but be thrilled. The vines had become more dangerous, and she saw this as a positive development.

Furthermore, apart from the long thorns, the vines had grown thicker, longer, and much stronger. They now resembled a whip more than ever.

However, her excitement soon faded away.

The vines still couldn't retract back into her body, which meant that whenever she went outside, she would have to carry the thorny vines wrapped around her hands. It was quite uncomfortable to have a strip of thorns coiled around her arm.

Laifu, observing this curiously, experienced a mix of happiness and frustration. Human emotions were indeed strange. Unlike humans, it found joy in simple things every day without any worries.

Speaking of which, how did it end up in the bedroom? Even though it enjoyed staying with Yu Xue, the floor was not as comfortable as its dog kennel. Since it had lost its fur, sleeping on the floor made it feel cold!

The dog ran off to find its beloved kennel, while Yu Xue remained immersed in her own world, unaware of Laifu's departure.

Despite the challenges posed by the unruly vines, the pain had subsided, and, most importantly, she no longer had to worry about the fate of the fairy balls. This brought her a sense of relief and improved her overall mood.

After freshening up, Yu Xue cooked a large pot of noodles, satisfying her hunger and bringing comfort to her stomach.

The next morning, she stayed at home to practice using her new thorny vines. In the hallway, she tied a rope to a beam, attached a slab of streaky pork taken from the refrigerator, and used it as a target for her vine whip.

Initially, the streaky pork was frozen solid, and she whipped it with her vines, causing it to bounce back with force. Each time she struck, the thorns on the vines left marks on the meat.

As the meat gradually thawed, the barbs scraped against it. Eventually, the pork belly became thin and strips of meat hung down, resembling a tattered cloth.

Standing about a meter away, Yu Xue poked the meat with her vines, sending it flying up before repeatedly striking the same spot for accuracy. Only when she felt satisfied with her accuracy in that area would she move on to another spot.

By the end, the meat was riddled with countless holes, resembling a rag more than anything else.

Yu Xue cooked the meat into a stew at noon, and it turned out to be delicious. She enjoyed a bowl of braised pork belly and polished off a large pot of rice.

Feeling content and satisfied, Yu Xue made the decision to continue her quest for mutants and planned to visit the flower and bird market near Fu'an Community.

There, she found a pot of mutant Nepenthes and a basin of mutant orchids.

This time, she was smarter and securely wrapped the two pots of plants before carefully bringing them back to Apartment 404 at night. She proudly exclaimed, "Look, I've brought you more snacks!"
