Why did you provoke me?

Qingyuan shook her head. "I can't explain it either. Once my lines are in my older sister's mind, they're out of my control."

Yu Meng looked at Granny Hua in surprise, "Granny, you can even control other people's lines."

Granny Hua glared at Yu Meng, "Nonsense! If I were that powerful, would I have gotten myself into this state?"

"That's true." Yu Meng nodded. "Then I'll try it first. If it's like what Aunt Qing said, then we'll have to change our plans."

Grandma Flower was actually quite helpless; she didn't know why her lines were so unique.

Yu Meng looked at Granny Hua and said, "Why don't I give it a try first?"

Grandma Hua nodded in agreement.

Yu Meng released her lines, which slowly entered Granny Hua's mind and circled the barrier several times. Yu Meng carefully sensed it and it seemed that there was no situation as Qing Yuan had described.

So Yu Meng gently touched the barrier, and Granny Hua immediately reacted, opening a crack in the barrier. A small flower peeked out. Yu Meng didn't move. In a short while, most of the lines attached to the small flower were also revealed. Yu Meng still didn't move. She had already seen that the small flower and the line were one.

Yu Meng remained still, fearing that the line might detach like a gecko trying to survive. She wanted to wait until the entire line emerged from the barrier.

Seeing that it remained motionless, Granny Flower's barrier began to shrink. At that moment, Yu Meng was completely impressed by Granny Flower.

Sure enough, when the gap in the barrier started to narrow, the line immediately squeezed out the line at its base.

Yu Meng seized the moment when the lines were loose and immediately wrapped her own lines around them.

Before the little flower could react, it was entangled by Yu Meng's lines and pulled out forcefully.

Yu Meng seemed to hear Xiao Hua's mournful cry.

When Qingyuan saw Yu Meng pull something out, she quickly stepped forward and slammed it into the container. Yu Meng gasped for breath and looked at the thing in the container. Strangely, she felt like she heard the little flower cursing her, and it seemed very dirty.

Qingyuan looked at Granny Hua, "Big sister, how are you now?"

Grandma Flower stared blankly at the container, and then pulled one out. It seemed so simple.

"Ah, I'm fine!" Granny Hua murmured to herself. "Yu Meng, am I dreaming? Someone just appeared."

Yu Meng smiled brightly, "How about we give it another try?"

"Okay," Granny Hua nodded in agreement. Qingyuan, standing to the side, noticed that Granny Hua was not in a good mood.

"Alright, Mother-in-law, let's just cooperate like we did before."

Yu Meng's lines entered Granny Flower's mind once again. This time, the slit remained open for a long time, but not a single flower emerged. Yu Meng couldn't help but sigh, "Who says these aliens have no intelligence? Look, the first one to come out must be brainless. And look, the clever one hasn't come out even after the door has been open for so long."

Yu Meng gently touched the barrier, and Granny Flower slowly narrowed the gap. Just then, a small petal squeezed out. Granny Flower didn't pay attention and continued to slowly shrink the gap.

Yu Meng could tell that the little flower was in a hurry; it strained to push its head and upper half of its body into the gap.

It was as if its force was too great, and the gaps in the barrier showed no sign of closing. But it didn't open either; the two were simply stuck in that position.

After who knows how much time had passed, the little flower stretched outwards again with all its might.

Unexpectedly, this squeezed the gap wider, and the entire shape appeared outside the barrier.

Yu Meng's lines pounced quickly like a cat catching a mouse, tightly wrapped around it, and then in the blink of an eye, pulled it out of Granny Hua's mind.

Qingyuan and the four soldiers outside had been waiting for a long time. But seeing Granny Hua and Yu Meng's state, no one dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing them.

It wasn't until Yu Meng shouted, "Aunt Qing!" that Qing Yuan seemed to come alive. Muscle memory made her quickly put the things Yu Meng handed over into the container.

Then he looked at Granny Hua, "Sister, how are you feeling now?"

"It feels like a dream," Granny Hua replied listlessly.

Yu Meng plopped down on the ground. "I'm exhausted, I need to rest."

Qingyuan waved her hand, "Go and get a glass of water quickly."

A soldier turned and ran to the house next door, and soon came out with two water cups.

Yu Meng wasn't too particular about such things; she grabbed a water glass and gulped it down. Then, she actually lay down on the ground.

This startled Qingyuan and Granny Hua. "Yu Meng, what's wrong with you?" Their voices were hoarse.

Yu Meng lay on the ground, chuckling. "Grandma, I really wasn't wrong, these little things really are cunning."

Grandma Hua was so angry when she heard Yu Meng's words that she wanted to hit her. She plopped down next to Yu Meng. "You child, how did you suddenly lie down on the ground? I thought I was in a daze, but as soon as you lay down, I was right on the ground."

"Mother-in-law, I'm so tired. It's more comfortable to lie down." Yu Meng no longer cared about her image at all.

Qingyuan shook her head. "Do you know how long you two stood there? For over an hour without moving. No wonder you're tired."

"No wonder, I also feel like all the bones in my body are stiff and I can't move." Granny Hua rubbed her knees with her hands.

"Aunt Qing, you have no idea how cunning this little thing is. Grandma opened the door, but it wouldn't come out. We waited for ages before it finally showed one petal. We had no choice but to keep waiting."

"It was my mother-in-law who had the best solution. That's how she managed to squeeze it out completely."

Grandma Hua had recovered by then, and she chuckled. "Xiao Meng, I've noticed your reactions are really quick. I thought you'd be caught off guard by my sudden attack, but in the time it took for the alien to freeze, you actually pulled it out." Grandma Hua finished speaking and continued to chuckle softly.

"Oh dear, I told you two, old and young, to stop praising each other. Get up quickly and go tidy up over there. That's enough for today. I'll take care of the rest. You two go and rest." Qingyuan helped Granny Hua up with one hand and pulled Yu Meng with the other, while speaking.

Yu Meng suddenly found it amusing to see her like this. It reminded her of a folk song. It was about someone who was really capable, well, they could use their feet to start a fire, their hands to cook, and their elbows to crush garlic.

Yu Meng chuckled to herself as she thought about it. Grandma Hua patted her on the shoulder. "What are you laughing at? Tell me, and I'll have a laugh too."

"Grandma, is there anything good to eat? I'm hungry, my stomach is rumbling."

"Yes, of course!" Qingyuan answered quickly. "Even if we didn't have any, we can have some now. I'll have them make it for you right away. You're a big hero today."

Grandma Hua was still in a daze until dinner time, feeling that everything that had happened that day was unreal.
