Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Let Nuanbao Transform

Yu Hai gave Xu Shuhua a fawning smile. “Wasn’t I just worried the tree would grow too fast and crush Daibao? Who knew that in just the blink of an eye, it would turn out like this!”

As he spoke, he glanced at the fig tree, a troubled look on his face.

The fig tree had grown so tall and sturdy—it must have already sunk its roots deep into the ground. What were they supposed to do now?

“Mom, what should we do?” Yu Hai looked to Xu Shuhua for help.

Xu Shuhua snorted coldly. “Now you think of me? When you went ahead and told Nuanbao to ‘transform, transform, transform’ just now, why didn’t you ask what I thought?”

Even after being scolded by Xu Shuhua, Yu Hai actually felt a little more at ease. “Mom! Whatever you say, we’ll do!”

Xu Shuhua rolled her eyes at him. “How should I know what to do?”

If they wanted the tree to grow bigger and better, she could ask Nuanbao to help. But now that the tree was already here, what could they do?

Chop it down? Dig it up?

Not only was there not enough time, but this wasn’t something Yu Hai could handle on his own!

As time ticked by and dusk gradually fell, Yu Hai grew even more anxious.

With night coming, at least they didn’t have to worry about villagers wandering by and spotting the tree.

But darkness also meant Gu Jianguo and Qin Yuelan would be coming home soon.

They had cleaned up this yard together—wouldn’t they notice if a tree had suddenly appeared?

What were they going to do?

Yu Hai and Xu Shuhua looked at each other helplessly, neither knowing what to do.

Just then, Xu Shuhua felt Yu Nuannuan stirring in her arms.

Xu Shuhua looked down at her. “Nuanbao, what’s wrong?”

Yu Nuannuan lifted her tiny hand and waved toward the fig tree. “Go!”

This time, Xu Shuhua immediately understood what she meant. “Nuanbao wants to go over there?”

Although she didn’t know what Yu Nuannuan wanted to do, Xu Shuhua figured—could things really get any worse than they already were?

Since Nuanbao wanted to go, then go!

Xu Shuhua carried Yu Nuannuan over to the fig tree, letting her reach out and touch the leaves.

Yu Nuannuan stared at the fig tree for a long moment before hesitantly reaching out her hand.

She had a vague feeling inside, like...

As she thought this, her hand touched the leaf.

This time, the sensation was different from before.

Previously, she’d felt something surging inside her, gathering at her fingertips and then disappearing.

Now, however, there was a strange energy flowing from her fingertips into her body.

Yu Nuannuan didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, it seemed like her power was finally under her control.

It felt just like how she’d controlled her abilities in her previous life.

Lost in her thoughts, Yu Nuannuan didn’t notice that the fig tree in front of her was rapidly withering.

The once lush, vibrant fig tree seemed to be drained of all moisture in an instant—its leaves turned yellow and brittle, its branches shriveled and dry.

Even the figs growing on it shriveled up one by one.

Only when she could no longer feel any energy entering her body did Yu Nuannuan let go.

That’s when she saw the withered tree before her.

The tree looked as if it had been dead for years—perfect for firewood!

Yu Nuannuan’s little mouth fell open in surprise. Did she do this?

So the energy that had just entered her body was the tree’s life force?

Thinking of this, Yu Nuannuan pressed her lips together.

In her previous life, she could only use her powers to accelerate plant growth—she’d never absorbed energy from a plant before."
