Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 1001 - 59: Traitor (2)

Taoye, who was blocking her face with a fan, smiled and turned around. She waved her hand, releasing a faint, peach blossom-like fragrance, seemingly her body scent,

"No need to rush. The secret I’ve just mentioned is known only to a few Dukes within the Tree Continent. To be on the safe side, you can’t leave until we reach a consensus, to prevent the secret from leaking..."

"Ah?! What consensus... If we don’t agree, does that mean we’ll be locked in here forever?"

Stuck here with Mr. Fisher?!

Master Tao smiled at her. Although he said nothing, it was as if he was constantly insulting her as "trivial" or "stupid," never ceasing. Just his gaze was enough to make her angry.

Fisher, on the other hand, thought for a second, looked at her, and asked,

"Even if we don’t reach any consensus, she has ways to ensure the secret doesn’t get out, and she has demonstrated it many times. Your clothes and the state when she fell into the water have all reverted to their previous state. She can completely restore us to the time before we heard this secret. But since she has spoken to us, it means she needs something from us."

Master Tao slowly closed the fan in his hand, nodded, and praised,

"I like talking to smart people. You’re his student, but it seems like you’ve learned nothing. After all, intelligence is innate..."

"You!"

Tangze Asuka pursed her lips, deciding to silently curse her in her mind.

Fisher continued his train of thought, looking at the petite Master Tao before him and asked,

"So, what exactly is the ’consensus’ you’re talking about?"

Hearing this, Master Tao opened his arms and spun before Fisher, pouting,

"Isn’t it cute? This was my appearance when I was born in this life... To get back to the point, this is the consequence of my ability. Due to the [Ritual], we usually can’t interfere with affairs within the Royal Capital and, therefore, don’t know what happens here. But something this significant must be investigated. I created a barrier to recall time, hoping to see all the information about the Transferee to obtain clues about the stolen teardrop..."

"However, the chaotic aura of the Transferee disrupted the operation of rules. In fate, their shadow is very vague. The clues I obtained are few. The only thing I learned is that the Transferee suddenly appeared by Your Majesty’s side, stayed in the Royal Capital for several years, and suddenly disappeared half a year ago after stealing the World Tree Tear."

"But just like you, trivial as you are, the Transferee, apart from the chaotic aura, should just be an ordinary human. With Uni and Verse axes within Jianmu Palace, and several dozen giant tree guards, even if Your Majesty neglected due to the limits of lifespan, an ordinary human couldn’t possibly steal the World Tree Tear stored deep within Jianmu Palace..."

Fisher’s brow slightly raised, and he suddenly understood what Master Tao and these Elf Dukes suspected,

"Are you saying the Transferee had help from someone else?"

"Exactly, and it’s highly likely from one of my kin, an elf."

Master Tao jumped onto the giant peach tree behind her, yawned, and as she did the first time she met Tangze Asuka, she opened the fan to cover half her face, saying,

"All records in the Royal Capital have been sealed, and Your Majesty, for various reasons, summons the elf ministers to offer tributes, cure ailments, present treasures, and visit relatives... Half a year ago, including myself, over seventy elves entered the Royal Capital. The doctor from the Whale-man Species in your team was introduced by [Bai Hou] to the Royal Capital to treat Your Majesty half a year ago. I saw him in the past barrier."

Hooked kiss?

"He did mention to us that he had entered the Royal Capital before to treat your king."

Master Tao cast a sidelong glance at Fisher, and after one or two seconds, she folded her fan, sat up, and pointed at him and the nearby Tangze Asuka,

"Because of the chaos, the past barrier is stained with shadows I can’t see, but perhaps in the eyes of you three Transferees, there might be different scenes? You’re all a team, so it’s fine to act together; in short, I want you to help me find the traitor among us. We’ll handle everything else."

"..."

Fisher was still thinking, and Master Tao lowered her fan, looking down at them, and asked,

"As a reward, whatever you want, I will provide. Treasures, titles, beauties, I can fulfill them all..."

Looking at Master Tao on the tree, her pink eyes resembling a deep, still Abyss, Fisher remained silent for one or two seconds. Just as the nearby Tangze Asuka was secretly glancing at him, waiting for him to decide, he suddenly spoke,

"Deal, I only need the beauty of a demi-human."

"Eh eh eh?!"

Tangze Asuka looked at Fisher in shock, but realized he was subtly hinting at her with his eyes. She didn’t fully understand but, trusting in Mr. Fisher, she refrained from questioning.

Master Tao smiled and supported her fan, looking at Tangze Asuka, then continued to ask,

"Trivial one, what about you?"

"I... I... well... treasure?"

Master Tao nodded satisfactorily, then waved her hand, lying down on the branches. The peach tree that blocked their way gradually disappeared, revealing a road leading into the distance, and her childish voice followed,
