Mystic realm's little plant
Rich Spiritual Qi permeates the air and the surrounding land grew lushly, filled with wide variations of plants. This place is a mystic realm, cut off from the rest of the world, existing in a different time and space. The entrance to this mystic realm opens up every 500 years, and occasionally some cultivators would find their way in. The rest of the time, this place remains secluded in a peaceful quietness.
A certain plant has been quietly collecting Spiritual Qi for the passing millennium, and quite recently, it succeeded in being the first amongst its peers to gain spiritual awareness.
The little plant's heart leaped with joy. The sun seems brighter and the air seems infinitely fresher. The tip of its little leaves curled up as if it was smiling. If it could, it would have jumped up in its excitement.
It must cultivate diligently! When it gains a human form, naturally jumping would be a small matter. Then, when its fellow plants also succeed in gaining awareness, he can establish his seniority! The little plant continues to mindlessly daydream, not forgetting to absorb Spiritual Qi diligently. For the sake of legs! For the sake of cute little shota brothers and sisters!
Outside of the mystic realm, a young teenage boy covered in wounds laboriously ran, staggering with each step. Chasing behind him are three other people wearing the same white robes as him, face filled with undisguised malice.
The teenage boy's running abruptly came to an end, faced with a gaping cliff and a bottomless raging sea before him. With nowhere left to run, the boy can only grit his teeth and face the three people chasing after him.
"Xi Wei Tian, let's see where else can you run to now!" The three white-robed cultivators caught up to him in no time, two of them brandishing their swords.
The young teenage boy's name is Xi Wei Tian, and the two pointing their swords at him are his martial brothers. The other cold and aloof youth is his senior martial brother, Su Yang. Under the name of bringing him to gain experience, this senior brother had brought him out to this forest to catch some spiritual beasts. Xi Wei was unable to refuse and could only warily accept the invitation. Sure enough, they had led him into a deep part of the forest before trying to kill him.
One of the youths pointing his sword spoke, sneering. "Hehe, just a bastards child, yet you dare covet what is rightfully our Shixiong's. How audacious!"
Every word is spat out slowly, with a careful and deliberate emphasis on the words "Bastards child".
Xi Wei calmly faces the three people, eyes sharp and alert, his face betraying no emotions. "I have no desire to inherit the sect, but if Shixiong's insecurity comes from being less capable than this Shidi, then this Shidi is also helpless."
Su Yang's eyes held a glint of anger before once again returning to being cold and detached. Leisurely, he slowly walks closer towards Xi Wei, forcing him closer to the edge of the cliff. With a soft voice, he said "If my spiritual root is not as good as yours, I'll just ruin yours. If my talent is not as good as yours, then I'll simply make sure you have no chance to grow."
No sooner did he finish saying those words, he pulled out a snow white blade from his side and stabbed it into Xi Wei's stomach.
"Your future won't be brighter than mine no matter how excellent you are because you won't have one."
Those words are the last thing Xi Wei heard before he was pushed down the cliff, into the deep and unforgiving sea.
------------------------------
The little plant was happily cultivating when he heard a thud sound. Blinking open it metaphorical eyes, it saw a young teenage boy lying unconscious in front of him. This person is Xi Wei. It just so happens that one of the entrances to this mystical realm is in the sea of where he was thrown off the cliff. Even more, coincidentally it just happens that it has been 500 years since the entrance to the mystic realm last opened.
The little plant's metaphorical eyes are opened wide, round as an egg. Oh my god, why is this person so bloody??? As it was getting over its initial shock, Xi Wei's eyelashes tremble before slowly opening. Seeing that Xi Wei was waking up, the little plant automatically held its breath and went still. Although it knew that Xi Wei has no way of knowing that it has a spiritual awareness, it couldn't help but be nervous. This is the first human it has seen since it gained awareness. Curiously it looked swept over Xi Wei's features.
Xi Wei's hair tie had come loose, his ink-black hair spread out on the ground. His bloodstained robes failed to diminish his good looks in the slightest. His eyes were still a little misty and his cheeks that still haven't lost it's fat, though a bit pale, induces people to pinch it. In a few years, he will grow up to be stunningly handsome, but for now, he still looks like a tender, harmless little child.
The little plant inwardly lets out a dreamy sigh. Those are legs! Real legs! How it wishes to have a pair of its own! While the little plant was still lamenting over its roots, it felt itself rising higher and higher up into the air.
Legs, Legs, legs, l- huh? Breaking out of its daydream, the little plant saw itself in the clutches of Xi Wei. Ah, dear child, what are you doing???
As if to answer the plant's question, Xi Wei brought the plant closer to his lips, his warm and labored breath tickling the little plant's leaves. By this time, the little plant knew exactly what Xi Wei was going to do to it. Over the past thousand years, many of its fellow plants have fallen to this cruel fate.
Aiyah, look at that sister plant over there, doesn't it look better than me? If you really like plants like me, I see several more growing two feet behind you... please dear child, have mercy on me!
Before the little plant can recommend more plants like recommending marriage partners or resign to its fate, it was unceremoniously shoved into Xi Wei's mouth.
