Juliette exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, such beautiful dresses!"
Nif chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, I’ve never worn such beautiful clothes before!"
The Tree Spirit Clan was a race that lived in the jungle.
For them, the best clothes were the leaves of the Holy Tree.
When Cao Xing first encountered these Tree Spirits, the clothes they wore were also woven from leaves.
But women have a natural love for beauty.
And it was the same for these guardians.
So upon seeing these beautiful dresses, the two sisters couldn’t take their eyes off them.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "For you, I think these two dresses suit you perfectly."
The two women listened, and delightful smiles appeared on their faces.
Then, with a little uncertainty, they asked, "Is this really for us, Lord?"
"We’ve never worn such beautiful dresses; would we not do them justice?"
But Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, with your beauty, how could you not be worthy of wearing these dresses?"
Hearing Cao Xing’s praise and encouragement, the lack of confidence on their faces faded, replaced by a slight blush.
Cao Xing continued, "Come, take them."
At that moment, they gathered their courage and walked to Cao Xing’s side.
Nif took the light yellow dress, while Juliette took the silver-white one.
They stretched out their fair hands to gingerly caress the dresses, reluctant to let go.
Little Nifu said joyfully, "I saw that pretty witch sister wear it before, it looked so good, I never thought I could wear such beautiful clothes."
Cao Xing smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
At this moment, Juliette and Nif exchanged a glance.
Then they walked over together and hugged Cao Xing’s waist.
Cao Xing felt the two warm bodies in his arms, with a faint fragrance entering his nostrils.
Because the Tree Spirit Clan dealt with plants all year round, their bodies carried a unique plant fragrance...
The two women, full of shyness, said, "This... this is also our way of showing gratitude to family..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing also smiled, allowing them to hold him.
His hands stroked their smooth, silky hair.
A moment later, Juliette whispered.
"Lord... we will get back to work, the Ice Thorns Heliotrope seeds you brought back last time haven’t been fully planted yet..."
"Next time when we have time... we’ll wear them for you to see..."
That last sentence, Juliette said particularly quietly.
But Cao Xing still heard it, and he nodded, "Alright, you go on."
After saying that, the two women reluctantly let go of Cao Xing’s waist.
Then Cao Xing also left the place.
After leaving the rear garden, Cao Xing was in a good mood.
After all, possessing such magical plants all of a sudden, it was hard not to be happy!
He walked leisurely within the territory.
Meanwhile, he prepared to open the chat channel to see the conversations among the survivors.
After all, today, there was a system announcement when they went out.
The army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom had arrived and called upon the survivors to participate in the upcoming siege battle.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "I wonder how the battle at Dorun Lake City went after a day, whether the two sides have clashed."
"Or have they already finished fighting?"
Cao Xing suddenly saw the territory gate open, and a tall figure with a feline head returned in haste.
It was none other than the Black Smoke Shaman: Blot Sulfur Stone.
Cao Xing quickly approached and asked, "Blot, did you just return?"
Blot respectfully said, "Yes, esteemed Lord, as you instructed, I went to explore that ancient battlefield."
"However, the situation is somewhat different from what we anticipated."
Blot nodded and said, "There are indeed traces of an ancient battlefield there, with many broken weapons, and occasionally some third and fourth-tier Corrupted Corpse Monsters and undead appear."
"But these monsters’ levels aren’t high, and I handled them easily, preparing to explore the center of the ancient battlefield."
"Then, I saw a passage leading underground in the central area."
Cao Xing became even more puzzled, "An underground passage? Do you mean the real ancient battlefield is underground?"
"Yes, I followed this passage down and found an extremely vast underground space below."
"Besides the traces of war, there were an overwhelming number of undead, marching in great numbers!"
"Some of the undead even gave me a strong sense of crisis!"
Hearing this, Cao Xing furrowed his brow.
Blot was now a fourth-order leader, and with his powerful status, even a fifth-order leader couldn’t pose a threat to him.
But if he felt a sense of crisis, it meant there might be undead of sixth tier and above in that ancient battlefield?
Even Duke Baladin had only reached the fifth-order commander level.
How strong would a sixth-tier undead be?
Blot continued, "Later, I was worried these undead might threaten our territory, so I observed for a long time and found that this group of undead, for some reason, seemed unable to reach the surface."
"Then I quickly returned to report this news to you, Lord."
Cao Xing nodded, "Well done, Blot, next time when gathering intelligence, try to consider your safety."
"Thank you for your concern, Lord."
Blot slightly bowed, his face still showing a worried expression.
