Since Bai Di and Xuan Wei were going back to Sun City personally, Mayne didn’t need to send anyone back.
Early the next morning, Huanhuan got up.
She and Shuang Yun brought Bai Di and Xuan Wei down the mountain.
Huanhuan took Bai Di’s hand and said reluctantly, “Go and come back early. Be careful on the way. Write to me when you’re free.”
Bai Di stroked her head, his blue eyes filled with tenderness. “Okay.”
“When you get to Sun City, help me greet Bai Luo and Ni Mei.”
“Okay.”
Huanhuan hugged him. “I’ll wait for you at home, so you have to come back soon.”
Bai Di bent down and kissed her hair. “Okay.”
Even though she was reluctant, Huanhuan could only let go in the end. She watched Bai Di and Xuan Wei walk away.
It was only when the two of them disappeared over the horizon and could no longer be seen that Huanhuan reluctantly looked away and sighed. “Two more people have left. Sigh!”
Shuang Yun picked her up. “Hehe, they’re all gone. From now on, you belong to me alone! We can sleep together every night!”
Huanhuan pushed his head aside. “Don’t forget about Xue Ling!”
“That old man definitely can’t satisfy you. It’s better if you sleep with me. I’m younger and have more energy. I can make you feel better.”
Huanhuan covered his mouth and blushed. “It’s broad daylight. Can you not be a hooligan? The children are still watching!”
Big Goody, Dos, Tres, and Little Monster looked at them with their four pairs of innocent green eyes, indicating that they had heard nothing and knew nothing.
Shuang Yun stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked Huanhuan’s palm.
The touch made Huanhuan shiver.
She hurriedly retracted her hand and glared at him. “If you continue to mess around, I’ll sleep with Xue Ling every night. You won’t get a chance!”
Shuang Yun snorted and restrained himself. He stopped pestering her and did not continue being a hooligan.
The weather was good today. The sun was shining, and the beasts were all out working.
Huanhuan thought of the seeds she had brought out of Divine Wood City. She could plant them now.
She found a dark spot and took out the spores of the Moonlight Mushroom.
There were more than 20 spores in total. She carefully scattered them on a dried tree trunk that had fallen to the ground, then sprinkled some water on it.
In addition, she planted two seeds of pink chrysanthemum in the field beside her.
In the end, there was only one sword tree seed left.
This was what the divine tree had given her before she left.
Huanhuan gently stroked the seed. “Little Brat, can this seed be planted?”
The system said, “It can be planted, but the growth of the sword tree is extremely slow. Even if you plant it in the ground now, it will take at least a year and a half for it to sprout.”
“How many years will it take for the sword tree to grow as tall as it had in the Divine Wood City?”
“At least a thousand years.”
Huanhuan was very surprised. “That long?!”
The system explained, “The higher the level of the plant, the slower its growth. The sword tree is the closest to a divine plant among high-level plants. Of course, its growth speed will be very slow.”
It would take more than a thousand years. When the sword tree grew up, Huanhuan’s corpse and coffin would probably have been broken down by nature!
She asked ingratiatingly, “Is there any way to make the sword tree grow faster?”
“Yes, just water it with some essence water.”
Huanhuan quickly asked, “What’s essence water?”
“A pure water condensed from the natural essence of heaven and earth. It can help plants grow quickly. It’s extremely rare.”
“Where can I find essence water?”
“You might be able to get essence water in the deep sea and the top of the glacier, but these two places are very remote and extremely dangerous. With your small body, you’ll probably be eaten by the beasts on the way before you even reach your destination.”
Huanhuan curled her lips. “You explained so much, but in the end, you’re telling me that I can’t do it.”
“Of course not. The reason I said so much is to tell you that I have essence water!”
Huanhuan jumped up in joy. “Dad! You really are my father!”
The system said, “Essence water is very precious. No matter how much my heart aches for you, I can’t give it to you for nothing. We still have to go through the procedures.”
Huanhuan understood what he meant and immediately asked, “Leave any mission to me! I promise to complete the mission!”
“Do you remember the mission—King of Growth Tribe?”
Huanhuan nodded. “Of course!”
“Currently, the Rock Wolf Tribe you’re in has already advanced to Class B. You’re still 100 experience points away from reaching Class A. When you reach Class A, I’ll be able to give you level-four access to the Crystal Mall. At that time, I’ll sell essence water in the mall. If you want it, you can exchange it with crystals.”
Huanhuan quickly agreed. “Alright, alright. I’ll do the mission now!”
“All the best, my dear! The Level-4 Crystal Mall is waiting for you!”
Huanhuan was excited for a while, but she suddenly calmed down. She asked, “How can I get 100 experience points?”
“The experience points needed to upgrade the tribe mainly come from the construction of the tribe’s infrastructure and the growth of the tribe’s population. The progress of construction is too slow. It’s not easy to gather 100 experience points. I suggest that you choose the latter option.”
“You mean you want me to pull some beasts into the tribe?”
“That’s right. Under normal circumstances, 10 adult beasts are considered one experience point,” the system said softly. “I’ll open the back door for you. One beast will be considered one experience point. You just have to bring 100 beasts into the tribe.”
Huanhuan blinked. “Why does it sound like you’re doing Amway?”
“Then are you going to buy from me or not?”
Huanhuan quickly raised her hand. “I’ll buy! I have to!”
“That’s better.”
Huanhuan touched her chin. “But then again, where can I find a hundred beasts to enter the tribe now? There’s no one around!”
After the torture of the Black River Tribe, the small tribes in the vicinity had all come to join the Rock Wolf Tribe. There were no other tribes within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
The system guided her patiently. “Who said there aren’t any beasts? Think about it carefully. There are clearly many beasts around.”
Huanhuan thought about it seriously, then she finally remembered. “Oh, I know who you’re talking about!”
“That’s right! If you pull them into the tribe, you can definitely gather 100 experience points!”
Huanhuan was in a difficult position. “That’s not good, right? They’re beast soldiers, after all. It’s not good for us to openly go to the military camp to recruit people!”
The system: “…”
He gritted his teeth and said, “I was talking about the Divine Wood clan! Not the beast soldiers!”
How dare she think of going to the military camp to pull people over? Wasn’t she afraid of being beaten to death?!
