Chapter 333. Planning To Approach The Life Tree.
After having a chat with Lakeborn Forest, Liu Shu felt better. The nagging feeling at the back of her head didn’t really disappear. Still, she could now focus on what she needed to do. ‘Let’s inform the others.’
“Flor~! Flololor~. FlooOooOOOoooorrr!”
The Flower Fairy was in Fortuna City, speaking about some Provincial matters with Eila. They were about to start speaking about outside interference when the room was filled with Liu Shu’s playful tone. Eila raised her eyebrow in amusement. “Does she always call you like this?”
Flor chuckled and shook her head. “Not always. Just when she wants to get pampered.”
Liu Shu pouted. “Hey! I can hear you!”
Flor’s lips arched in a challenging smile. “Am I wrong? Try to tell me that I am wrong, my big darling.”
“Hmph! Even if you are right, you are wrong! You shouldn’t reveal these things! You are wrong!”
Eila laughed faintly together with Flor. After playing a bit with the World Tree, Flor asked. “So, what’s the problem, Dear?”
“I found traces of a suitable Life Tree! I don’t know how strong it is, so I wanted to ask you to gather a group of Elites to help me!”
Eila blinked, confused. “Wouldn’t it be best if you just summon those ten serpents and use them as a negotiation tool?”
“Silly Eila! Do you think I don’t know about that?”
Eila’s eyebrow twitched, but she waited for Liu Shu to continue instead of answering. ‘If I answer, it will be my loss. Be the bigger person, Eila!’
“The ten serpents I can summon are strong, but they can’t help me negotiate. I am going to the Life Tree to ask for resources, not to harvest it brutally!” Liu Shu muttered. “Not to mention, I don’t even know how strong it is. However, it’s clear that it is exceptional since it has been alive in the middle of the Wall Forest for so long!”
The two leaders couldn’t really deny her words. At this moment, Fortuna interrupted. “Liu Shu, where is it? I’ve been slowly entering the Wall Forest with my roots as well. However, I have not been able to pick trace of anything.”
Liu Shu giggled. “Fortuna’s roots are so small~. They don’t reach far at all~. Hehehehe.”
Fortuna answered with an embarrassed tone. “What’s the meaning of those words!? You are always teasing me!”
Liu Shu laughed arrogantly. “Hohoho~.”
Eila shook her head with a smile. “Okay, both of you. Stop now.”
“Okay~.”
“Sure.”
Flor and Eila looked at each other and extended their hands simultaneously, picking up the cup of warm tea and taking a long sip. Flor exhaled and smiled peacefully. “Ha... Much better.”
Eila nodded, leaning back on her chair. “To be fair, this is the best tea I’ve ever tasted. Even if it had no extra effects, I would probably take it daily.”
Flor chuckled. “I can’t deny that my darling’s leaves made for the best tea in the world. Hehehe.”
Eila rolled her eyes.
Before these two started speaking about other matters, Liu Shu’s pouty voice reached them. “... What about the Life Tree? Can you gather people, yes or no?”
“Ah.” Flor coughed and smiled soothingly. “Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. We were just impressed by you, so it's natural that we would forget!”
Fortuna commented with a curious tone, her elegant and mature voice spreading like a gentle melody. “I am surprised that you two can stay so calm after learning about the Life Tree. After all, this is what will allow Liu Shu to build another one of her ridiculous temples.”
Eila and Flor paused momentarily, their sluggish brain cogs turning until the neurons finally made the necessary synapse connections. Flor’s eyes widened, and she quickly stood up. “Ah! I completely forgot about the temple!”
Eila also stood up and shouted aloud to a secretary working outside. “Gather the first army! We are marching out tomorrow!”
Flor nodded and spoke. “I’ll also go and tell Wert to prepare. He will guide Verdantia’s and Harmonixia’s armies together with yours.”
Liu Shu chuckled. “No need to! Gather only the Level 30 and above people and make a group with them. I’ll tell Delia and Taro to come as well~.”
Eila and Flor tilted their heads but nodded nonetheless. “We’ll gather them and wait at the entrance of the Wall Forest tomorrow at the first hour.”
“Okay~.”
Liu Shu then proceeded to inform those who were going to get involved. Liu Shu even contacted Verena.
In the Liferoot mansion, Branthis was grumbling to Verena. “Love, why do I have to allow Liu Shu’s roots to enter my territory? I told you that I would only let her in after she has become stronger than me!”
The Liferoot territory was inside the Golden Sap Province. So, naturally, Liu Shu’s roots had reached them long ago. However, Branthis had his pride as a recently upgraded <Third Energy Cycle> plant.
Verena sighed and commented, her face laced with a slightly exasperated expression. “Look, darling. I understand that it hurts your pride. However, you need to also understand that Liu Shu’s roots are not only something that expands her domain, but they also carry several buffs and other benefits with them. You will benefit as well!”
Branthis harrumphed, his roots tangling in what one would take as a defiant stance. “I refuse! That World Tree took away my baby Verdantia! Now, she wants to also take away my territory!? What’s next? Will she try to take away my house!?”
Verena’s face turned black. ‘This daughter-loving father! I thought that allowing him a year to accept Liu Shu’s existence would be enough. Still, when he was about to nod, we suddenly received the news that Verdantia had entered a relationship with Liu Shu...’ Verena rubbed her forehead, but before she answered, she heard the adorable yet profound voice of the World Tree.
“Verena~!”
Verena’s annoyed expression relaxed, and a faint smile hung on her lips. “Give me a second, dear! I’ll go right away!”
