Chương 70: Ms. Tree: I'm back with another chapter!

Tree: I'm back with another chapter!

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Salia clapped her hands, stood up, and bid farewell to Roland.

Although she also wanted to stay here and spend some more time with Roland.

But Pink Harbor really has a ton of work documents waiting for her approval and signature.

With the hope of reviving the succubus's feminine charm within reach, she had no choice but to temporarily put aside her romantic feelings.

"So soon? Won't you stay for dinner?"

Roland asked a question commonly used by Chinese people.

"No, my dear Miss Roland."

Salia smiled happily and looked at Roland with gratitude.

"Thanks to your extensive knowledge of pinks, and the 'Cat Saintess Photobook'."

"Business is booming now, and the succubus employees no longer need to work so hard to cultivate their magic."

"Our Pink Harbor is thriving!"

"I need to go back and handle the work documents and arrange the construction."

When Roland heard the words "thriving," she immediately felt a jolt.

After carefully examining the loli succubus and confirming that Salia wasn't playing Three-in-a-Row, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Salia, should we transfer my succubus employees back here?"

You look really tired.

Salia waved her hand.

"No need, your job isn't easy either. I've seen that the slums around the hot water factory have expanded a lot."

"If we transfer them back as well, your job will be very difficult."

Roland looked at the little succubus with emotion.

Although she spoke casually, her complexion didn't lie.

Not only does she have to take on Caryl's work, but she also has to implement Roland's development plan. It must have exhausted her.

Roland thought for a moment and walked to her side.

Then he took out a "Photobook of Evening Gowns" from his spatial bag.

This was taken yesterday with Lywind, and she bound it into a book. It's a bit simple, but the content is very insightful.

Giving this to a cool, repressed loli succubus would be a great gift.

As for the steel brand on his back.

According to the books she saw in Kalil's study, the branding magic is diverse.

Unless there is direct contact to stimulate it, there is no way to determine this.

Therefore, it's perfectly fine to give it to a loli succubus.

"Miss Roland, what is this?"

Salia held the picture book and opened it with a puzzled look.

The first thing you see is Roland, her fair back exposed, holding a wine glass, her head slightly turned, revealing a seductive gaze.

The magical patterns on its back emitted a silvery light, making it appear mysterious and alluring.

"Wow, it's so hot... I mean, it looks amazing."

"Miss Roland, when did you take this picture? Are you going to give it to me?"

Roland nodded.

"I just took this yesterday, here you go."

"But don't give it to anyone else, this is the only one left."

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. This is my thank-you gift."

Salia looked at the edge of the picture book, which was clearly custom-bound by Roland herself. Although it was simple, it was full of heartfelt sentiment.

Overjoyed, she hugged him tightly, his succubus tail swaying wildly behind him.

"Thank you, Miss Roland~ This evening makes me feel much less lonely!"

"Um... haha, I'm glad you like it."

It's indeed quite dazzling and oppressive.

……

After Salia left, Roland crouched down and began to tease the "Sapling of Life".

The saplings, barely tall enough to reach calves, looked pitiful, with only a few leaves growing out.

"Sigh, looking like he's half-dead, let's try a regular potion first."

Roland thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of [Healing Potion].

This thing is an upgraded version of the [Disease-Curing Potion], and it has a certain amount of life force.

She poured the potion at the bottom of the sapling of life, but nothing happened.

Roland sighed.

"That's true. Other people are given high-level magic potions as soon as they grow, but I was only given them when I was almost withered to death."

"They're still using cheap stuff... wait, who's talking?"

Roland suddenly heard a faint murmur and abruptly looked up.

"thirsty……"

"So thirsty..."

The message seemed to travel directly to my mind, like a spiritual resonance.

Roland couldn't help but look at the sapling of life in front of her.

Is this the thing?

After hesitating for a moment, Roland decisively took out another bottle of [Healing Potion] and watered the roots of the sapling.

"thirsty……"

"Holy crap, it really is this thing! Has it come to life?"

Roland tilted her head back in surprise.

"Isn't it said that a tree of life only develops sentience after at least five hundred years? How come this seedling also has sentience?"

"Oh no, could it be a deluxe, high-end specimen from the Tree of Life?"

Roland's heart tightened.

One characteristic of the magical world is that no matter what magical material it is, there are always high-grade or special variants.

This life might even be a seed from the Mother Tree of Life.

Given Khalil's status back then, this possibility is extremely high!

"No, for Kalil's sake, we must revive this thing by any means necessary, and preferably let it thrive!"

Roland made up her mind and began taking out bottles of potions one by one from her spatial ring.

[Healing Potion] [Life-Blossoming Potion] [Rejuvenating Potion]...

Various restorative potions were poured out, but the sapling of life still sent a message of "thirst".

Roland even took the [Enhancement Agent] and [Vitalizing Potion].

"Still no use... wait until it works!"

Roland looked at the sapling of life with delight.

The moment she fell and used the [Mighty Potion], the sapling suddenly stood up.

Just like a succubus's tail that has drunk a magic potion, even the leaves seem to slowly return to green.

"This is good..."

The joyful sound of the sapling of life echoed in my mind.

Roland perked up, took out the remaining bottles, and poured them all down.

The sapling of life indeed became more and more active, and its leaves gradually returned to their green color.

Roland suddenly had a bold idea.

If she can nurture the sapling of life...

According to Salia, the Tree of Life not only provides restoration but also promotes plant growth.

Most importantly, the Tree of Life, possessing sentience, can transform into a humanoid tree spirit, making it a first-rate expert in governance.

Nothing can escape their reach, no matter where their roots extend.

The sapling of life before her had already developed sentience; she only needed to nurture it in less than five hundred years.

You can directly obtain a tree spirit.

Even setting aside helping with paperwork, simply monitoring the territory and relaying messages would greatly reduce Roland's burden.

"Gurgle."

Roland swallowed hard, looking at the sapling as if it were gold.

Since the [Vigorous Potion] works, why not try using [Roland's Milk] directly?

After all, the most unique ingredient is Roland brand milk.

After thinking for a moment, Roland took out a bottle and tried pouring it at the base of the sapling.

"Delicious!!!"

The saplings exuded a high spirit.

Then, after a tremor, several leaves slowly sprouted.

"Nice, it really worked."

"As expected of a high-level Tree of Life seed, its growth rate is incredibly fast!"

Roland kept pouring, bottle after bottle.

Then... there weren't enough.

After all, she's not some super-sized dairy cow; her production is limited, and she has a fixed daily consumption.

Not only should one bottle be left for Renee and one for Alice, but two should also be left for Elizabeth.

If Karil hadn't been away on a business trip, she wouldn't have been able to save up so much.

"I don't know why this sapling only reacts to this."

Roland pinched her chin and began to think.

It can't possibly be related to my bodily fluids, right?

Roland thought for a moment, looked around to make sure no one was there.

She bent down, tucked her hair behind her ear, and spat at the base of her hair.

Sure enough, the Tree of Life sent a joyful message.

"It tastes good, but the portion is a bit small."

"Is the portion a bit small?"

Roland frowned, then subconsciously shifted her gaze to her stomach.

Um... this should be fine.

Liquid farmyard manure is also fertilizer.

A sapling of life is also a tree.

Roland made sure again that no one was around.

Then he squatted down in front of the sapling.

……

Hysen Harbor, Wayne Company Glass Garden.

Ms. Tree sat under the tree, looking lost and muttering to herself.

"I was so stupid, really."

"If I had known that Miss Roland's butt didn't have any defensive magic or branding, I should have attacked there immediately."

"Now that the parasitic seed has taken root and sprouted, it only has a little bit of instinct left, and it probably won't live much longer."

"Waaaaah, why am I so miserable... Wait!"

Ms. Shu jolted awake and sat up straight.

The Parasitic Seed's spiritual link is back online!

How is that possible!

"What... what's going on? Is there still hope?"

"No, I need to project it over there right now!"
