Chapter 806: Chapter 89: New Intelligence and the Champion Level Trial
The morning sunlight streamed through the branches of the Moon Crown Tree, casting dappled shadows. The bright environment filled Su Li with joy, prompting a leisurely stretch and a contented sigh.
Hela, as expected of a Snake Woman, had skin as smooth and cool as water, perfectly complementing the sun at the end of spring and the start of summer.
Su Li couldn’t help but nuzzle against it, feeling the skin as silky as water.
This action finally awoke Hela, who groggily wiped her eyes and felt a fiery warmth lingering on her abdomen. A human’s facial temperature was quite a bit higher than that of a Snake Woman, and her master, a Knight with a Fire Attribute, exuded even more heat.
Two crimson clouds appeared on her cheeks instantly, and she whispered, "Lord, are you awake?"
"Mm, how did you sleep last night?" Su Li looked up at her. This classic Eastern beauty was flawless, even from this so-called angle of death, her chin was exquisitely perfect, truly a flawless Snake Woman face.
"Very...comfortable, very peaceful," Hela replied softly, perhaps feeling that such words might lead to other thoughts, she quickly changed the subject to her favorite and most skilled area. "After you fell asleep last night, I researched the Moon Crown Tree flower, and its results are incredible. Let me report them to you..."
"No rush on the report," Su Li interrupted her with a wave of his hand, then rolled over to pin her down. "Let’s finish our morning exercise first. This is an important cultivation task; we can’t afford to slack off."
Then Su Li kissed her cherry lips. Hela’s eyes widened, letting out a muffled hum, her entire body quickly turned a shade of red.
This was entirely different from what she had in mind last night.
Last night, she had made up her mind not to accompany the Lord in such frivolity under the broad daylight again.
But now she realized that she had no control over her own body, unable to resist the Lord’s dominance.
She was like a fragile boat in a storm, rising and falling amidst clouds and tempest.
But this feeling overwhelmed her, especially the Lord’s dominance and mastery, giving her an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and happiness.
She felt filled with this man’s aura, from body to soul.
Once the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Hela lay on the fragrant grass like a pool of spring water, the air still carrying the fresh scent of flowers. She blocked the sun with her fair hand, no longer caring about her pale body exposed to the spring light. At this moment, her mind was blank, her beautiful eyes filled with flowing spring waves, breath quickened, watching the clouds above with no thoughts, only engulfed in a rich happiness.
At this moment, she finally understood why so many women valued cultivation more than life, even more than anything in life.
It was truly an overwhelmingly pleasant experience, making her entire mood relaxed and blissful.
Su Li also felt invigorated, resting his head on her slender waist, preparing to open the Daily Intelligence system, then recalled the topic she mentioned earlier.
"By the way, what was it you were going to report again?"
Hela used her snake tail to retrieve the Perfumer’s Incense Burner from the disordered flowers, then said to Su Li, "Lord, yesterday I used the Moon Crown Tree flower to concoct aromatic dew, producing three Rings of Blazing Flame and a handful of Embers."
"Hmm?" Su Li’s brows immediately raised, surprised, and asked, "How could this be the outcome? The Moon Crown Tree’s flower should be Heaven Magic attribute, right? Even if not, at least related to Light Magic, how could it be Akasha Magic attributed."
The Akasha Magic, associated with Fire Wind, the Moon Crown Tree’s effects didn’t seem related to fire at all.
Hela was also very puzzled, asking, "Could it be related to the Witch Moon? Its blooming under the moonlit night destined it to be mysterious and extraordinary."
"But even the influence of the Witch Moon should at most provide a witchcraft effect to the Moon Crown Tree flower, not grant it Fire Attribute magic."
Selanweir, also panting beside them, tidied her sweat-dampened bangs and said, "Lord, I think the Moon Crown Tree flower being bestowed with Akasha Magic might be because this tree, like our territory, thrives as does a flame? If it symbolizes our territory, then its fiery connection does make sense. Fire is the symbol of humanity and civilization."
Fire is the symbol of humanity and civilization?
This explanation actually made a lot of sense. No wonder the Moonflower could enhance human forging capabilities while also countering Demons.
Su Li said at ease, "Then let’s store the treasure in the treasury later. Send the Embers to the Black Forest Armory to forge stronger equipment."
Su Li hadn’t visited his treasury for a long time, since Philis left, and there was no one who enthusiastically tallied the treasury’s wealth increase daily, reporting happily to him, on the splendid collection within.
In fact, his treasury was now immensely large, with each cycle gathering a plethora of armor, weapons, talismans, and a variety of ores, gemstones, tools, and treasures contributed to him.
