Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 958 - 45: The Question of Death

"Mr. Fisher, that tree!"

Fisher swiftly burst out of the room with the Fluid Sword, but before coming to a complete stop, Tangze Asuka, with eyes squinted against the sweeping winds, quickly noticed the massive tree behind Uncle Chun’s Palace that seemed to be shaken and snapped by a violent earthquake. Under the vast moonlight, the gigantic tree, hundreds of meters tall, was toppling over towards the city, frightening Tangze Asuka into quickly reminding Fisher.

"What’s going on? Why is there an earthquake?!"

Just as Fisher stood in the courtyard staring at the giant tree about to fall, Hooked kiss hurriedly ran out after dressing, first glancing at the tree above, then with a peculiar look, glanced at Tangze Asuka nestled in Fisher’s arms and asked,

"You two... were sleeping together just now?"

"No! No! It’s just that Mr. Fisher had something to discuss in my room!"

Tangze Asuka shouted with a flushed face, struggling to jump out of Fisher’s arms, but this pale explanation didn’t convince Hooked kiss in the slightest. He glanced at Fisher’s physique as if seeing something and muttered,

"Kidney water fluctuating, essence energy restlessly thriving, heart moving first followed by kidney gate fire moving... His essence energy is like gunpowder, suppressed for a while without release, now on the verge of explosion at any moment. Aren’t you afraid of being devoured? Young people are quite daring."

"?"

Tangze Asuka didn’t hear clearly what Hooked kiss said. Now with everything shaken by the earthquake, she confusedly glanced at Hooked kiss, only to see him gesture with his mouth as if reminding her of something.

But in the current crisis, there’s no time to consider Fisher’s reproduction issues. Mikhail came out of another room, looking serious, and asked them,

"What’s happening?"

"I don’t know either, it seems like a sudden earthquake... It’s strange, the Tree Continent is filled with Mythical Species, yet there’s an earthquake. Could it be that something went wrong?"

Fisher looked at the increasingly cracked giant tree and reminded,

"That tree is about to collapse. If it falls, the entire capital might be razed to the ground."

"Ah, no need to worry about that. After all, there are three Mythical Species here, so even if we exclude Helair, Uncle Chun and Count Hyou will handle it well. We just need to take care of those around us with lower ranks. Qiong is too old, and his adopted daughters are only a bit stronger than humans, but... ouch!"

As Hooked kiss spoke, he was suddenly hit by a warm dawn light at the back of his head, and his Fourteenth Rank body didn’t react at all.

He took a sharp breath, looked back, and saw Helair sitting on the still shaking beam, chewing a round fruit,

"What do you mean by ’slacker’, that’s so rude... It’s called letting you fully exercise your subjective initiative. Having me as your Angel leader is your blessing, you know."

"Where did you get that fruit?"

"Picked it up by the roadside, it’s really bad."

Helair turned her head and spat out the core like a fire dragon breathing flames; the warm dawn light spewed from her delicate lips, completely incinerating the core, seemingly verifying her claim of its poor taste. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

She clapped her hands and continued,

"But Hooked kiss was right. Chun and Heng will deal with that big tree. This earthquake is not simple; the Tree Continent is merely floating soil growing on the World Tree Root, and everything here is its feedback, including the earthquake... Like other elves, after the Elf King dies, he will reincarnate through a tree, but the tree he borrows is his Mother, the World Tree."

Fisher quickly understood the crux of the matter and followed Helair’s words,

"So, is it possible that the Elf King has passed away?"

"Who knows? The Elf King is a Nineteenth Rank existence, the first-born elf, and the closest of all elves to the World Tree. Though his lifespan is nearing an end, he is highly sensitive to Death, so extending his life for a period is very likely."

During their conversation, numerous dense purple spots suddenly sprouted from the giant tree above, making Tangze Asuka, an ordinary human without trypophobia, feel somewhat nauseous. But soon, purple flowers burst forth from those purple spots.

Uncle Chun finally intervened.

From the giant tree emerged the flower buds, each with four leaves. After blooming, they didn’t stay on the giant tree for a moment but quickly detached from the rough bark and fell down, swirling like tiny parachutes, gently descending like a rain of flowers, both beautiful and dreamlike.

Endless purple spots continued to appear on the falling tree, until the tree, hundreds of meters tall and tens of meters wide, transformed completely into the previously seen flowers, wafting towards the capital.

"..."

For the first time, Fisher saw the elves’ methods, and like Uncle Chun’s gentle temperament, even their actions were like a mild wind and rain, both romantic and elegant.

"So beautiful... By the way, that Helair Angel, I kept hearing you mention ’being chased by Death,’ is there something wrong with the translation?" Tangze Asuka, staring in awe at the flowers raining down everywhere, couldn’t help but praise, but suddenly thought of something and asked Helair.
