I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 435 The Entangling Vine's Wrath

"You're welcome, I've already received payment," Lezhi replied with a smile.

Mu Ling: "Then we should thank you. For the sake of the entire Yougu Clan and for Jormungandr, you've worked hard, Lezhi."

While Lezhi was touched by the heartwarming scene, she also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But when Mu Ming, who was usually oblivious to social cues and spoke without thinking, appeared, he wasn't so annoying after all.

"It's only been one day, Lezhi, you seem to have gotten even prettier! Wow, you even seem to have grown a bit taller! Hahahaha, all that stuff you ate finally paid off, hahaha~"

"Why are you paying so much attention to me? Do you like me?" Feeling a sudden sense of relief, Lezhi retorted, a little carried away, but it worked well, leaving Mu Ming speechless.

He glanced furtively at Lei Xiu, whose face had suddenly darkened, and felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. "Who likes you? Don't talk nonsense."

He's so stubborn! Clarify things quickly, or your life will be in danger.

Seeing his predicament, Mu Ling also noticed Lei Xiu's expression, and a thought flashed through her mind as if she understood something.

With a slight smile playing on her lips, Mu Ling lowered her head and chuckled inwardly before regaining her composure and feigning ignorance. "Mu Ming, so you like Le Zhi? That's wonderful! The clan leader supports you. Go ahead and pursue her without worry. As long as you two are willing, the clan leader will take care of things with the Lingyu Clan."

Mu Ling's words were like a bolt from the blue. Mu Ming immediately felt that his life was over. His vision went black, and Lei Xiu's gaze was almost tangible. He had no doubt that if the provocation continued, Lei Xiu would become enraged and declare war on him on the spot.

"Chieftain, don't make things worse. I don't like Lezhi. No, I quite like him. Oh dear..." The more she tried to explain, the more confused she became.

After he said he didn't like it, the way the surrounding clansmen looked at him changed. Mu Ming then realized that he was now in an awkward position, so he could only ask Le Zhi for help.

"Lezhi, say something! If they really dare to pair us up, we'll be a laughing stock..."

"What, you don't dare? I don't care, anyway, it's just that you like me right now, I haven't said anything..." Lezhi wouldn't be led astray by him, and looked completely indifferent.

Everyone else could see by now that Lezhi was deliberately teasing Muming. Their own people were sweating profusely from being tricked, but instead of helping them, they all spoke up for Lezhi.

"Captain, if you really like him, then go for it! Don't just talk the talk, take action!" This was Mu Wen, who had witnessed Mu Ming's verbal provocation of Le Zhi, so he took the opportunity to give him a nudge.

If it weren't for the obvious smile on his lips and the corners of his eyebrows, Mu Ming would have truly believed it.

"Exactly, Captain, you're no good! You're usually so brave in fights, how come you're so clumsy when chasing people..."

"I guess he's gotten into too many fights, and he's become too narrow-minded..."

"........."

"You—" Mu Ming gritted his teeth. He might not be able to control the others, but surely he could control his subordinates? "That's enough!"

Seeing that Mu Ming was close to breaking down, the others decided to stop while they were ahead, raising their hands to cover their mouths, indicating that they knew their mistake and corrected it, and dared not make a fuss.

That's more like it. With his nostrils flared slightly, Mu Ming exhaled heavily, feeling that he had won back a point and hadn't completely lost face.

Seeing his longtime companions hiding in Mu Ming's blind spot, waving and gesturing excitedly at him, Le Zhi smiled and winked, indicating that he had received their good wishes.

Seeing this, the other tribesmen didn't expose them, but just watched them make a ruckus with smiles.

The sadness of parting was dispelled by laughter. Looking at the time, Mu Ling straightened her expression and was about to step forward to continue talking about business when she suddenly stopped, and the corners of her smiling mouth turned into a line.

The next second, a familiar tremor came from underfoot, not strong enough to make someone walk out of the house to investigate.

The answer appeared the moment Mu Ling looked up in Le Zhi's direction. Sure enough, Le Zhi was surrounded by the suddenly appearing vines, but fortunately, he did not look panicked.

"It's good that you weren't scared. It's just vine wood. Don't panic, Mu Ming. Have someone tell the clansmen that if they're worried, they shouldn't stay in the house. Things will return to normal soon."

"Yes."

Everyone else present left with Mu Ming to comfort the clansmen as Mu Ling had instructed.

When Lezhi arrived last time, Wu Muteng reacted, and Muling immediately comforted her people. Since the Yougu tribe settled here, Wu Muteng has rarely acted rashly; almost every time it happens, it's because of a major incident. Otherwise, Wu Muteng is as quiet as if it were lifeless.

This is the first time they've seen such activity.

As the patriarch of the Yougu tribe, Mu Ling had a deeper connection with Wu Muteng. She understood what had happened, but the tribespeople did not.

Fortunately, they didn't know. Otherwise, if they knew that Yuki Fuji, who usually ignores everyone, was almost fawning over Rakuchi, they would probably be quite upset.

Rakuchi, surrounded by the branches of the wisteria vines, felt somewhat helpless.

"Okay, I know you're reluctant, but I really can't stay. I have a lot of things to do and can't stay here with you forever."

To soothe the whimpering vine, Yuezhi channeled some energy into it, confirming that it had plenty of energy and could live a long time. Then, she resolutely pulled away the vines that were entangled around her.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'm leaving. I'll come see you when I have time. Take good care of yourself here."

In his mind, the reluctance of Yukito became tangible, almost overwhelming him. He had seen clingy people before, but never one this clingy, and for a moment he was at a loss.

At this moment, the entwined vines that had been quietly resting on the earlobe suddenly exerted their power, whipping away the vines that were wrapped around Rakuchi. The vines that suddenly sprang up formed a protective circle around Rakuchi, preventing the vines from getting close.

It has been holding back for a long time. What's wrong with this guy? Can't he understand his master's words?

If someone is disobedient, they need to be taught a lesson; beat them until they obey.

Although its consciousness has only been established for a short time, the Entangling Vine has already gained several underlings. At this moment, it has the imposing presence of a leader, and it is not at all inferior to its elders who are thousands of times older than it.

The house vine was naturally not to be outdone. In its eyes, the entangled vine was just a newborn child, and it was too early for it to fight against it.

The different species of vines suddenly formed a standoff, and the situation changed so quickly that neither Mu Ling nor Snow, who were watching, could react in time.

Lei Xiu was the first to notice something was wrong and tried to step forward, but Le Zhi stopped him with a gesture.

"Both of you, stop right there."

Lezhi didn't make a move; he simply lowered his voice, which immediately silenced the two opposing vines, causing them to soften their stance.

The vines that had almost completely submerged Lezhi's figure receded like a tide, leaving only a small branch that tentatively reached Lezhi and bloomed a flower for him.

This is an apology, and also a parting gift.

It's clear that Fujiki has come to terms with reality and knows that it's impossible for Rakuchi to stay.

The fragrant flowers swayed in the air. Having calmed the tangled vines, Lezhi sighed softly, reached out to take the flowers, and casually tucked them into her lapel.

"Alright, we should go." Turning her head, Mu Ling still had a hint of surprise on her face. When she noticed Le Zhi looking over, she subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, stepped forward, and opened her arms to give Le Zhi a hug.

"Have a safe journey, child."

"Okay, I'm leaving. Please say goodbye to Mu Ming and the others for me."

"Okay, but really not considering Mu Ming, he's not bad, or Mu Wen..." Mu Ling said with a mischievous smile.

"Goodbye."

Lei Xiu pulled Le Zhi along, and Snow hurriedly followed, leaving without looking back.

……

"Mu Yun, are you there?"

"I'm behind."

Following the homeowner's directions, Mu Ming went around to the back of the house and, sure enough, saw Mu Yun calming down the insects again.

"Mu Ming, what brings you here? Aren't you on duty today?" the young man greeted him.

"I can only come over to check on things when I'm on duty. I was worried that the recent tremor might cause panic. The chieftain sent us to tell you that everyone should be fine, but we're afraid that these insects on your side might rebel."

"That's too exaggerated. They're very well-behaved. By the way, I heard the guests are leaving today. Why didn't they stay a few more days? I was hoping to visit them when I had time, but I haven't been able to find the time. I heard that there are insect-raising families in Lezhi. Is that true?"

The young man became noticeably more excited when the insects were mentioned. Mu Ming shook his head. "It's true, but Lezhi had an emergency and has already left. If you really want to see him, you'll probably have to find another opportunity."

"Lezhi will be attending the clan assembly next, which is a good opportunity. I can introduce you to him, but..." Thinking of something, Mu Ming narrowed his eyes and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

"But what?" Not noticing Mu Ming's strange expression, Mu Yun couldn't wait to ask as soon as he heard that he could meet Le Zhi.

The transaction between the two remained a secret; in the end, both got what they wanted, and everyone was happy.
