Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 152

She saw a tangle of green vines wrapping around Luo Lin, dragging him away feebly into the distance. Luo Lin had his eyes closed, clearly already unconscious.

Customer service spoke up: “It’s a mutated plant. I detected that the tree has already formed a spirit core, which can help Luo Lin recover. But it’s very sensitive and timid. If it senses danger, it might self-destruct its own spirit core. Just follow Luo Lin and blend in…”

Sheng Nuan immediately understood why customer service had warned her to be cautious… Mutated plants excel at hiding, and this was the perfect opportunity to extract the plant’s spirit core for Luo Lin.

Still, she was a bit worried. “What happened to Luo Lin?”

Customer service explained: “The thorns on the vines contain an anesthetic. He’s been hit, but it’s nothing serious, he’ll wake up soon.”

Sheng Nuan hummed in acknowledgment. From her arsenal, she selected a narrow blade with a slight curve and silently followed after them.

Earlier, Luo Lin had been sitting by the campfire, occasionally scanning the area for movement, but he hadn’t paid much attention to the nearby plants.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his leg. He looked down and saw the vines writhing… And then he felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the poison from the thorns wasn’t too potent. Before long, he regained consciousness and realized he was being dragged across the slope, rustling backward.

Luo Lin tried to struggle, but his hands and feet were still limp and weak.

At times like this, he couldn’t help but remember that the place where his spirit core should have been was now an empty void, and a surge of hatred and resentment welled up inside him.

The plant was cunning and cautious. Sheng Nuan probably hadn’t noticed he’d been taken… so he could only rely on himself.

Luo Lin gritted his teeth and mustered all his strength to raise his hand, grabbing onto the thorny vines. At that moment, the speed at which he was being dragged suddenly increased, and he found himself slowly being lifted into the air.

It was then that Luo Lin saw the mutated plant that had captured him.

A massive willow tree, several people wide, with a trunk thicker than a water barrel.

He remembered spotting the tree from a distance when they set up camp, thinking how vibrant and full of life it seemed. He never expected… it had already mutated.

At that moment, the willow tree twisted slightly, and a massive gash opened in its thick trunk, resembling an ugly, menacing mouth filled with sharp, jagged teeth. Vines snaked out from the mouth, wrapping around him and slowly pulling him toward the gaping maw.

Luo Lin’s face went pale as he struggled desperately, but the more he fought, the closer he got to the gaping maw…

At that moment, a sharp thunk echoed. Luo Lin’s vision blurred for a second, and then he saw a long blade pierce into the willow’s maw.

He suddenly raised his head and saw Sheng Nuan standing there… that knife was the one she had swung over.

As the long blade stabbed into its mouth, the willow tree thrashed violently, shaking with fury. In the next moment, countless vines and roots hidden beneath the ground burst forth, lunging toward Sheng Nuan… The entire area instantly transformed into the willow’s hunting ground.

Another blade appeared in Sheng Nuan’s hand. Without even looking, she swung it backward, severing a large swath of vines.

She pulled a cherry from her space, intending to test the power of the cherry bomb, but the next moment, she put it back… She was afraid of blowing up the willow’s spirit core.

At that moment, she caught sight of a shimmering green glow emanating from the grotesque mouth of the willow tree.

Realizing it was the spirit core, Sheng Nuan’s eyes lit up. Swinging her blade, she charged forward without hesitation.

Not wanting to be hindered by the encroaching root-like vines, she paid no attention to what was behind her and focused on quickly clearing the obstacles ahead. The thorny, snake-like roots that twisted and approached her were halted half a meter away by an invisible barrier.

The mutated willow tree sensed Sheng Nuan’s approach and seemed to detect danger, causing its trunk to tremble violently.

Customer service urgently warned: “It’s about to self-destruct the spirit core!”

To prevent their spirit cores from being taken by humans, many mutated animals and plants often choose to self-destruct, perishing alongside humans when they sense danger.

After hearing customer service’s warning, Sheng Nuan’s expression froze for a moment. In the next instant, she lunged forward… no longer using her knife to clear a path but charging straight ahead.

Luo Lin, still suspended in the air, watched the scene in astonishment.

Before him, countless roots and vines seemed to weave together, forming a wall to block Sheng Nuan’s path. But in the next instant, those viciously twisting and aggressive vines were shattered into pieces by an invisible force.

As the shredded plant matter rained down, Sheng Nuan had also reached the willow. With a swift motion, she plunged her hand into the gaping maw and grabbed the glowing green orb.

It was the willow’s spirit core…

The tree shuddered violently, its massive jaws snapping shut, trying to bite off Sheng Nuan’s arm.

The long knife in Sheng Nuan’s hand transformed into three blades, thrusting horizontally to brace the willow’s gaping maw. She quickly tore through the fine roots clinging to the spirit core and yanked it free.

The willow trembled, its green glow intensifying. Sheng Nuan turned and yanked Luo Lin, leaping away just as a deafening explosion boomed behind them…

The once mighty willow disintegrated into a pile of splinters, leaving only a stump barely half a meter tall, devoid of any threat.

“Are you okay? Not hurt, right?” Sheng Nuan anxiously helped Luo Lin up, inspecting him from head to toe.

This was her precious mission target—nothing could go wrong!

Luo Lin’s body stiffened slightly, barely restraining himself from brushing off Sheng Nuan’s hands.

This ugly monster must be doing this on purpose just to take advantage of him…

Seeing that Luo Lin wasn’t injured, Sheng Nuan let out a sigh of relief. She extended her hand in front of him. “Here, something good for you.”

Seeing the orb in Sheng Nuan’s palm, Luo Lin was momentarily stunned. It dawned on him that her charging like crazy just now had been for this very thing.

And this spirit core… was meant for him.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and swallow it to see if it works,” Sheng Nuan urged, placing the spirit core into Luo Lin’s hand.

Her hand was crisscrossed with wounds, bloodied and gory… Yet this was the same hand that had pulled him earlier, back when it had been fair and soft.

A flicker of discomfort passed through Luo Lin. After a brief pause, he tilted his head back and swallowed the spirit core. In the next moment, he felt a warm, gentle energy beginning to flow within him.

The once-empty and silent void where the spirit core had been suddenly stirred, awakening a hint of vitality.

Luo Lin froze, disbelief filling his eyes as he looked at Sheng Nuan. His voice trembled slightly. “It worked.”

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow triumphantly. “Of course it works. I told you I’d cure you, and I always keep my word.”

In that moment, Luo Lin suddenly noticed that Sheng Nuan had exceptionally beautiful eyes. Under the moonlight, they sparkled with brightness and determination, glimmering with a hint of a smile…
