Chapter 302: Take the initiative
Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She had used a magical artifact to conceal her aura. How did this little bamboo spirit see through her disguise?
Then she gave a kind smile and asked:

"Little Bamboo, how did you know I'm the older sister?"

The young master seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing, trembled slightly in fear, and then whispered:

“Zhu Sheng can see it.”

Yunxi was genuinely surprised. She looked down at her robes, then touched her jade-like face, making sure she hadn't given herself away. Not wanting to dwell on the matter, she continued, "..."

"You asked me to help you save your grandfather. What happened to your grandfather? Where is he now?"

When asked the key point, Zhu Sheng stopped crying, wiped away the tears on his face, and looked at Yun Xi with his light green eyes, saying:

"Zhu Sheng didn't know what had happened. It was Grandpa who woke me from my slumber, then poured his essence back into my body before sending me away."

But when Zhu Sheng left, he noticed that his grandfather's body had turned black, and his grandfather's eyes had changed from emerald green to gray, which was quite frightening. Then the entire bamboo forest changed.

Although Zhu Sheng's explanation was vague, Yun Xi understood. It was clear that the little bamboo spirit's grandfather was being controlled by an unknown force and was desperately trying to get his descendant to safety, hoping he could escape.

The little girl was worried about her grandfather and wanted to save him, but she didn't have the ability to do so herself. So she could only ask the cultivators who entered the bamboo forest for help. She was chosen because she smelled good and was a female cultivator.

After listening to its owner's analysis, DianDian asked:
"Master, shall we save them?"

Yunxi looked at the little bamboo spirit staring at her expectantly, feeling a pang of tenderness and a touch of affection, but she still asked:
"What is your grandfather's cultivation level?"

"Grandpa is the Bamboo King, the most powerful one in our bamboo forest."

Yunxi sighed. She had no doubt about this. She just wanted to understand the other party's strength and see if she was capable of helping. Obviously, the little bamboo spirit didn't have this kind of understanding.

Yunxi then rephrased the question:
"Zhu Sheng, where are the other three people who entered the bamboo forest with me? Do they have a chance of winning against your grandfather?"

Zhu Sheng stopped crying. He clenched his chubby little hands for a while before speaking:

"Grandpa must have led them deep into the bamboo forest. He gave me all his essence, so I might have a hard time dealing with three people now, but trapping them shouldn't be a problem."

Yunxi suppressed the urge to abandon the bamboo spirit and leave, and continued to ask:
"So why have you been leading us on a roundabout route?"

Zhu Sheng checked his fingers and replied:

"Avoid the Green Bamboo Miasma, then we'll negotiate terms to save Grandpa!"

This time, they explained things quite clearly and handled things in a very organized manner.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:
"Then what will you use as payment?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Sheng's light green eyes filled with joy, and he happily replied:
"I can give you half of the bamboo sap inside my body as payment for saving Grandpa."

Yunxi revealed a malicious smile, deliberately appearing greedy as she said:
“Little one, if you acknowledge me as your master, I will go and save your grandfather. With you, all the bamboo sap inside you will be mine.”

Zhu Sheng trembled slightly upon seeing Yun Xi's smile, his eyes quickly filling with tears. Just as Yun Xi was about to release the little bamboo spirit, he said in a tearful voice:

"Okay, it's a deal. You save Grandpa, and I'll go with you!"

"Ok?"

This time, Yunxi was stunned. She only wanted to discourage the little one, not to really take the little bamboo spirit away.

Zhu Sheng seemed to sense Yun Xi's hesitation. He reached up and plucked a tender green bamboo leaf from above his head, touched it with his chubby little hand, and the leaf emitted a soft, emerald-green light. Then, Zhu Sheng placed it in Yun Xi's palm.

The next moment, the bamboo leaf merged into Yunxi's palm and then entered her sea of ​​consciousness. Zhusheng successfully recognized its master.

Dot Dot was dumbfounded. It jumped up and down and said, "You bamboo spirit are really cunning. My master hasn't agreed to your request yet!"

Zhu Sheng didn't care about any of that. He looked at Yun Xi with his light green eyes and said obediently:
"Master, Zhu Sheng has already acknowledged you as his master. Can we go and save Grandpa now?"

Yunxi felt like a million alpacas were running through her mind. And yet, someone was rushing to claim her as their master? Hadn't she been fierce enough? Hadn't she scared the little one?
Zhu Sheng didn't care about any of that; he continued to urge:

"Master, let's hurry! If we don't leave now, your companions will also suffer."

Yunxi wiped her face and said to Zhusheng:
"Give us directions, and we'll head over there now."

"Yes, Master!"

This time, the little bamboo spirit readily agreed and even chose a good place for itself to stay. It transformed into its true form and inserted itself into Yunxi's hair bun, looking like a green bamboo hairpin. It didn't seem out of place at all for a male cultivator to use.

Although Dian Dian was angry, she still jumped into Yun Xi's arms and even whispered her complaints:

“Master, this Zhu Sheng is really cunning. He used himself as bait to lure us to rescue his grandfather.”

"Fine, I just like him. He should be a rare Tear-Stained Bamboo. If he can withstand the Transformation Lightning Tribulation, he can evolve into a Wood Spirit."

"No wonder this little bamboo spirit is so eager to acknowledge its master. The master has a wind spirit root, which mutated from a wood spirit root. Even if it evolves into a wood spirit body, the master won't be able to use it. It feels safe, which is why it won't let go of you."

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"Zhu Sheng is still too young. He grew up in the secret realm and doesn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts."

I don't really need it, but I can exchange it for cultivation resources that are useful to me. I believe that as long as I offer up the Wood Spirit Body, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be tempted.

Dot scratched its black ear and said:
“Master is right, but Master would never do that.”

"Oh why?"

Dot twitched his mustache and replied:

"My master is very tolerant and soft-hearted towards things that have developed sentience. Back then, in order to prevent Diandian from being implicated by that rogue cultivator, he forced that person to break the contract with Diandian before killing them. However, they did deserve to die."

Yunxi smiled and replied:

“I believe that all things have spirits, but they exist in different ways. Since you have awakened your intelligence, you have a reason to exist. Provided that you have not done evil, I should not easily decide your life or death.”

This little bamboo spirit didn't even have a chance to do anything evil. I was planning to just leave, but the little guy struck first, so I had no choice but to accept the challenge. I'll just treat it as training; if I can't beat him, I'll just run away.

“The master is right.”

Dian Dian immediately agreed, saying that her master's decisions were always correct.

Just then, Zhu Sheng spoke up to remind him:

“Master, we are about to enter the Green Bamboo Miasma. You must follow Zhu Sheng’s instructions, or you will be trapped here.”

"Okay, you give me directions."

Yunxi replied that she could see it too. The bamboo forest in front of her had turned a deep, dark green, and the leaves were rustling with an eerie sound. A layer of pale green miasma, invisible to the naked eye, had enveloped her.

Meanwhile, in the center of the bamboo forest, under a thousand-year-old green bamboo tree, Yun Chen Buddhist Disciple was struggling to hold on, while beside him sat cross-legged, lost in a mystery.

See you tomorrow, babies~
