Chapter 9. Rose Fairies’ Decision.

When all the fairies approached, Liu Shu heard many notifications about her <Charm of the Seedling> skill, and the proficiency increased by around 250 points, increasing the level of the skill by one.

One of the messages was especially eye-catching, which made Liu Shu exclaim in her head.

[<Charm of the Seedling> has attracted a <Rose Fairy Level 10>. Proficiency increased by 100.]

Liu Shu looked at the tallest fairy in the group with interest. 'Level 10! The highest-level little friend yet!'

She also realized that the proficiency points gained were ten times as much, making her feel happy inside. 'Will I gain extra every time a level 10 comes? Or is this friend special?"

The fairies flew around her, and a few of them approached the carcass of the beaver she just killed. Liu Shu heard them speak.

"Look at this!"

"What's wrong?... Wow! Even the bones are broken. How strong is she?"

"I would hate to be on the other side of her attacks."

A relatively low-level fairy commented. "But she can only attack from a close distance, no? Any of us should be strong enough to defeat her."

However, a few seniors looked at her with frowns. "Little girl, have you seen her bark and trunk thickness?"

The low-level fairy looked over and saw that Liu Shu was relatively thicker than other trees of her height. "Huh?"

The low-level fairy looked closer and asked. "Say, do you feel like her trunk has a strange womanly shape?"

A few fairies who heard them looked over, closely examining her, and laughed.

"It's true! Hahaha."

"So strange~."

"Such coincidences are rare."

However, Flor looked at that shape with a deeper expression, her mind spinning with many thoughts.

After a few moments of hesitation, Flor took the initiative and approached with a smile, floating very close to Liu Shu. Of course, as she approached, she was very alert. She was confident in defending herself, but if she took one of the attacks she had just witnessed with her bare body, she might get an injury.

"Hello, little one. It is the first time I've seen a little tree as beautiful as you in my 38 years of life."

When she heard her speaking, Liu Shu felt joyous, and her branches swayed happily at her compliment.

The fairies around giggled when they saw her reacting to Flor's words.

"She is really cute."

"So, it was true that she could understand."

Clavel snorted at the side. "Why would I lie about these things?"

The second in command of the fairy group, a fairy called Amapola, commented. "We have to protect this little one." The fairies nodded, and then Amapola added wistfully. "Maybe she can become our forever home."

Flor and the rest of the fairies became a bit silent. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

They constantly moved around because strong creatures or natural events sometimes toppled the trees they lived in, and they could do nothing to prevent it most of the time. While Flor was strong, she was only strong relative to the creatures living in the nearby forest area.

When mass migrations, beast tides, powerful hurricanes, and other natural events occurred, her power was nothing but a raindrop against the wind.

Flor looked around the area where Liu Shu was and realized that there were a few tall trees nearby.

'Hm. This should be enough for our race to live until she matures.'

Flor commented to the others. "I'll stay here with the little one. Go and fetch the rest of our kind. We are moving here."

Clavel's eyes shone with delight. "Really?"

Flor nodded with a smile. "Yes."

Then, Flor caught the corpse of the River Beaver in her periphery and got thoughtful. 'What should we do about those who covet her? Hm...'

After giving a thoughtful look at Liu Shu, Flor told the fairies with a stern tone. "Explain to all the other fairies that we won't protect her as we usually do. Unless she is at risk of dying, let her face against the beings that come to attack her." Flor's eyes shone murderously as she finished her sentence. "They will become good fertilizers for the little one to grow."

The eyes of the rest of the fairies landed on the dead River Beaver with indifference and nodded. Regardless of their motives, anyone who hurt Trees and Flowers was nothing but trash in their eyes.

Liu Shu didn't understand the more complicated parts of the conversation that ensued afterward, but she understood these little friends wanted to live by her side. Thinking of how much more fun it would be in the future, Liu Shu was delighted.

To show her appreciation, large amounts of Aether Mana and Anima Energy began gathering around her branches.

The fairies who were about to move out realized and looked at her curiously. They couldn't sense a shred of hostility, so they weren't worried. On the contrary, a spark of excitement flashed in their eyes.

First, they saw the energy flow from the bottom of the tree's roots across the beautiful trunk and into the branches.

It didn't take long to envelop all of Liu Shu's branches, giving her an enchanting azure and amethyst glow.

After that, from between the leaves, small flowers of four different colors started appearing one by one and growing at a visible rate.

The fairies were mesmerized by the extraordinarily beautiful spectacle.

The large amounts of Aether Mana and Anima Energy focusing on creating the flowers was something sacred for the Rose fairies. If hurting nature was something they loathed, the action of creation and life was something they adored.

Seeing the little one use such a large part of her Aether Mana and Anima Energy made them all feel touched.

Clavel wanted to say that it wasn't necessary, feeling a bit of heartache at the enormous amounts of Aether Mana and Anima Energy being used, but Flor stopped her. "Let the little one do as she pleases. We are not going to pamper her but guide her. If she wants to give us something, we should accept it with a smile and use it to the best of our abilities. In the future, we will repay with our lives if necessary. Nature is about giving and taking, an exchange, a cycle. Regardless of what she gives us, we will return in kind."

Clavel and the rest of the fairies nodded. "I understand."

After about half an hour, the Aether Mana and Anima Energy she had gathered were completely consumed, making Liu Shu a bit tired. After all, she had used almost all of her entire Aether Mana and Anima Energy pools.

Four messages appeared in her eyes.
