In her previous life, she followed behind Xiu Wanxia's back and went everywhere that Xiu Wanxia went. She lived Xiu Wanxia's life.
She loved Xiu Wanxia so much that she became overly attached to her. She lived her life for Xiu Wanxia.
Wherever Xiu Wanxia went, she followed her too. She had no life of her own. Without Xiu Wanxia's love, she might be a soulless doll. Thus, she forgot that she should live for herself.
Now, she could live well by herself without relying on anyone's love.
When she decided to live for herself, that's when she started to notice a lot of small details and mind-blowing things around her that she had missed in the past.
"These are gooseberries." The fruits were small; their size was around her thumb.
According to the color, there are gooseberries with green, yellow, and red berries. The flesh is crisp, sweet, and slightly acidic.
So, she picked up several gooseberries and planted them in the purple soil.
Then she encountered the bearberries. The bearberry's leaf can be used to make alchemy.
She then saw the cloudberries. They have a delicious flavor. The cloudberry plant has white flowers, and the yellow-to-orange fruit resembles a raspberry. The taste is soft, juicy, and fairly tart.
These cloudberries grow almost exclusively in the wild. While many berries are edible, some are poisonous to humans, such as deadly nightshade and pokeweed.
She then transplanted the cloudberries into her small world. These fruits are edible and are good to refine poison.
"Cranberry!" As she walked deeper into the forest, she saw several cranberry trees.
Cranberries provide a good source of various vitamins and antioxidants, blood disorders, and scurvy. They promote skin health and support heart health.
If she refines the cranberries into a beauty pill or detoxifying pill, she could get a better result.
She immersed herself in finding the wild fruits, spirit grass, spirit plants, wild flowers, and trees that she had forgotten about at the time.
Here, she was safe. There were no spirit beasts or fierce monsters here. She could walk back and forth leisurely.
"I need a place to store items in the small world." She muttered before she decided to chop down some bamboo to build a storehouse inside her small world.
She remembered that there was a bamboo forest near the place where she stood. She then strode in that direction. She didn't have any tools for chopping the green bamboo, so she used her spiritual power to chop down the bamboo.
Before her spiritual power hit the bamboo, she suddenly paused. What if they found out that the bamboos were missing?
No, they don't have time to care for the small details here. All their attention was focused on her twin sister.
Xiu Wanxue began to chop down the bamboos one by one. From morning until afternoon, she didn't stop working. While doing so, she didn't forget to learn how to control her spiritual power while she used her fists to smash the bamboo trees.
She could absolutely control her spiritual power in her last life because her strength was already in the Foundation Establishment period. In this life, she has to start again, and her body is small now.
She was 14 years old, and her height is 1.60m. Her hands and legs are a little skinny, but not to the point of being too thin. Her power was also weak. To avoid making a mistake in controlling the spiritual power, she learned everything from zero.
When she noticed that she had chopped enough bamboo to build a house, she sat on the grass and wiped away her sweat. Her fists were red.
After she rested for several minutes, she stood up as an idea popped into her head. She should take this opportunity to practice her physical body, as well as sharpen her fists and spiritual power.
Thus, she began to look for a huge and heavy tree and started to carry the tree on her shoulder as she jumped from one place to another.
She made this move step by step. The moment that her body was familiar with the weight of the tree, she changed to carry another tree that was heavier than the current one, which she was carrying on her shoulder and back.
She kept finding the tree that was heavier than before and changed the tree to carry. Once her body could withstand the weight of the big tree, she changed the tree to carry it again. This was a circle of improvement for her body.
Her body was shaking, and the sweat dripped down from her forehead. Yet, she felt so fresh and happy. She has never been so happy because now she has learned how to take care of herself, and she has also found happiness in the loneliness.
Her ruby eyes flashed with a bright light. Her figure was like a small deer that jumped back and forth in the forest. Happiness was flowing in her heart, irradiating her whole pretty face. Her hanfu was wet due to her sweat.
She was so concentrating on her practice that she forgot the time. When she realized this, the sky had already turned dark.
There happened to be a small lake here, so she took off her clothes, got into the lake, and washed herself. After she finished cleaning herself, she took out a new robe from her small world.
Fortunately, before she left her room, she brought all the robes she bought for herself and stored them inside her small world. She only brought her two plain robes and the sect's uniform.
The twin moons lit up in the sky, casting shimmering light upon the dark sky. The breeze at night turned cold.
The sound of the small insects was echoing in the quiet night, so she wouldn't be so lonely. She summoned the ice element and lightened up her surroundings.
She looked into the small world and found a thick blanket inside the bamboo house on the bed. She took out the soft blanket and covered herself before sleeping on the soft grass.
Her eyes gently blinked at the twin moons as she raised her thin but slender fingers to the sky, like she was trying to hold on to something.
"I'll be there one day, flying in the sky with freedom." She murmured softly. The long and thick eyelashes covered her pair of pretty ruby eyes.
She was tired all day long, and the moment that her back touched the soft grass, her eyelids were heavy. Her breath was steady and calm as she went into a peaceful sleep, accompanied by the twin moonlights.
