After Janette returned to her dryad form, the tree roots stopped attacking them and disappeared into the ground again. Soon, three young female dryads appeared from behind the trees, and their eyes lit up after seeing her.
All three of them are in their dryad form, so their bodies are no different from the plants around them, and their bodies come from different types of plants; only they can move and talk like humans.
One of them had waist-length blonde hair with amber eyes, but her body was too petite, like a teenage girl around fifteen years old, and she was also flat-chested. Even so, she had an attractive face, and her body gave off a calming aura.
The second dryad had as short red hair as a rose, and her appearance was that of a girl in her early twenties, but her expression was sadistic, with many spikes circling her body. Her eyes were red, and her fingers were more like claws. Her face is not very attractive, but her body is quite attractive, with medium breasts around the C-Cup, and her buttocks are quite large and stand out.
Zhang Fei was deemed the third dryad woman to be the most attractive, with her long white hair resembling a tulip, bangs adorning her forehead, and tulip branches and flowers covering her entire body. Her expression seemed calm but shy, but her eyes were a little unusual because they were red in contrast to her hair.
She was also no different from a girl in her early twenties, but her breasts were a little disappointing as they were quite small at A-Cup.
"Princess!" The three of them exclaimed with joy as they ran over to Janette before hugging her with feelings of longing, especially since they hadn't seen each other for quite a while. "Princess! You're finally back! We missed you so much!"
'Princess? She's a princess of the dryads, huh?' Zhang Fei inwardly muttered in surprise; he really didn't expect that Janette's status among the dryads was so high.
Janette herself looked so happy after seeing them, so she immediately hugged them tightly to vent the longing that had been buried deep in her heart for the past two years. "I'm glad the three of you are still alive! I also miss the three of you, Milia, Cassia, and Viola."
"Whoa! I'm glad you're safe, Princess." As she sobbed, Viola spoke.
Milia added. "I thought I would never see you again, Princess."
"We missed you and always worried about you, Princess." Cassia said it quietly and hugged Janette tighter.
Janette let out a soft sigh before releasing them from her embrace, looking at the three with a smile. "I'm sorry, I'm only back now, but I'll be staying here for quite a while."
"That's good! You have to tell us about your life in the human world, Princess." However, they were shocked as soon as they looked at Zhang Fei, especially since he was still in his human form.
Viola then inquired. "Who is he, Princess? Why did you bring a human into our forest?"
"If the Queen knew of the human presence in our forest, she would be very angry, Princess." Millia added.
Unlike them, Cassia continued to observe Zhang Fei with a curious gaze before speaking. "It's my first time seeing a human, but he doesn't look bad, unlike in the stories of the ancestors, Princess."
"Zhang Fei is the little brother of my human friend, and it was his big sister who helped me when I was seriously injured two years ago." Janette smiled as she explained, then introduced them to Zhang Fei, pointing at each one individually. "The blonde one is Viola, the white-haired one is Cassia, and the last one is Milia."
Zhang Fei nodded to them while saying this to Janette. "It seems there are a lot of things that you're still hiding from us, and I really didn't expect you to be a Princess of the Dryads."
Janette smiled bitterly at that, as she was indeed still hiding many things from them. "I'm sorry, Fei. I-"
"Sigh, you don't need to explain anything; I myself still keep many secrets from them." Zhang Fei said it with a shake of his head.
Cassia, Viola, and Milia looked at Zhang Fei curiously but also suspiciously. According to their ancestors' stories, humans were always rude and arrogant, and they often killed their kin. However, in their eyes, Zhang Fei appeared kind and friendly.
"Thank you." Janette was grateful for his understanding, and she told the three dryads about Zhang Fei's other identity. "Anyway, he isn't just a human; he's also a demon like us."
"Huh!?" Viola, Cassia, and Milia were shocked to hear that, especially since he was clearly a human, and they also didn't smell the demon scent from his body. "Are you kidding us, Princess? How can he be a demon?"
After hearing them, Zhang Fei smiled at them, and he immediately transformed himself into an Incubus, which made the three dryads even more shocked.
"Incubus!" The three of them shouted loudly, and many tree roots shot towards Zhang Fei from the ground, but Janette stopped them once again.
"All right, you guys can stop attacking Zhang Fei because he is not part of them, and he is really a human that I brought from the outside world, but he is also an incubus, as you guys have seen for yourself."
"Is that true, Princess?"
"Hey! I'm really a human, but I'm also an Incubus." Zhang Fei then turned himself into a white fox. "See? I'm a fox-beast, too."

[Ding]
[Quest: Go to a nearby city.]
[Quest rank: starter.]
[Status: Done.]
[Reward: A starter pack sent to inventory.]
As soon as Zhang Fei stepped inside Forest City, two notifications instantly appeared in his mind. 'Open the starter pack, Mei.'
[Okay!] Mei immediately opened the starter pack.
[You obtained the Demon Extermination Sword X1.]
[You obtained the Light Guardian Armor X1.]
[You obtained the Winged Shoes X1.]
"Cough... Cough..." After reading the name of the sword and armor, Zhang Fei instantly choked. 'What the heck! I am a demon myself, but I was given the Demon Extermination Sword and also the Light Guardian Armor.'
[Hehe!] Mei chuckled at that. [Even though you are a demon, you can still use that sword, Master. Furthermore, the sword will be useful against the other demons, and the armor will provide extra protection for you from them. [As for those shoes, they will significantly increase your speed.]
'Sigh, what grade are those three pieces of equipment, Mei?'
[The Demon Extermination Sword is a soul weapon, but I don't know its grade because it's incomplete, Master. The Light Guardian Armor and Gale Wind Shoes, on the other hand, are Spirit Rank items.]
Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. 'All right, I'll check on those three later.'
