Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 995 - 57: Taoyuan (Part 2)

When Fisher saw the scene inside the tent, which seemed like an alternate space, the illusory golden letters of the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual once again appeared before his eyes,

[You have discovered Ancient Clue 1 of the Elf Species]

[Would you like to read this clue to gain social research progress on the Elf Species?]

Fisher was slightly taken aback, looking at the extremely familiar interface, he walked into the spacious sea of peach blossom trees inside the tent, and silently thought "Yes" in his mind.

[Ancient Clue 1 of the Elf Species: Xuyu’s Taoyuan]

[Clue Content: The so-called Path of Destiny, in the view of the elves, actually consists of two directions, namely "Verse" and "Uni," corresponding respectively to the ultimate concepts of "space" and "time." The higher the rank of an elf species, the clearer their perception of fate, which derives from their bloodline as descendants of the World Tree. Thus, although all elves’ abilities seem to be ever-changing, in essence, they all lead to the same destination.]

[The incredibly beautiful peach blossom forest before your eyes has already been infused with the terrifying abilities of a very high rank elf, allowing one to glimpse the subtleties of fate from here.]

[Evaluator Remark: Tsk, there’s nothing much to say, let me recite The Peach Blossom Diaries I learned in middle school for you~ During the Taiyuan period of the Jin Dynasty, Wuling people relied on fishing... Hmm, seems like I’ve forgotten the rest, it’s been too long here, my memory’s not as good, what a pity.]

Fisher, looking at the illusory text whose meaning was unclear, couldn’t quite keep up with the demi-human girl’s contributor’s thoughts for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, turned to Tangze Asuka, and asked,

"Tangze, do you know what The Peach Blossom Diaries is?"

"It’s... Oh, Taoyuan... I seem not to know, it sounds like ancient literature or something? Is it content from our world?"

"Yes."

"I... I don’t know... Sorry."

Tangze · Uneducated · Asuka lowered her head slightly, her face turning slightly red.

Though she claimed to be a traveler from another world, it seemed she hardly knew any answers to the questions Mr. Fisher asked her, not resembling an outland guest at all.

Tangze Asuka didn’t know that Fisher wasn’t surprised at all. He looked at Mikhail behind him, who also subtly shook his head, saying,

"If I had the opportunity to connect to the internet, I might be able to tell you the answer. In the place I live, few people care about such ancient literature anymore. For the people there, the past is a scar, touching it brings pain."

"I see... It’s okay."

Without receiving an answer, Fisher wasn’t particularly disappointed; he had already gleaned some tips from this ancient clue.

However, as for the progress in social research on the Elf Species... where would he find a female elf species to study? They were mythological species, incredibly powerful, like Elliog, those who let Fisher study them without moving were few and far between.

"Everyone, you are the first to arrive at the Royal Capital. The Duke might wait until everyone arrives before appearing. Before that, please wait here for a while."

"...Do we have to wait for everyone? How long will that take? The order from the Royal Capital shouldn’t have been issued long ago, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hooked kiss was the first to raise a question. After all, the Tree Continent was so vast, it might take a month just to gather everyone and bring them to the Royal Capital, right?

"Indeed, but within the Barrier set by Master Tao here, the flow of time will be completely different. You won’t be waiting too long before Master Tao shows up."

The maid, her face covered with white cloth embroidered with a branch of peach blossom, said as she led everyone to a vast peach blossom forest, where several wooden tables and grass mats were already placed, with some food laid on top. Tangze Asuka glanced over and saw they were all large, tender peaches. The moment she saw the peaches, she couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, clearly wanting to taste one.

"What about the specific time?"

"Within one day... During this time, you can walk around and rest freely here. You may also freely take the peaches as food. But please be careful not to eat too many, for us, eating too many of Master Tao’s peaches would be uncomforta..."

Before she could finish her words, the sound of someone munching heartily has already come from the table. When everyone turned their eyes to it, they saw Helair somehow already sitting cross-legged before a wooden table, holding a large, plump peach in each hand, biting on the left one and then the right one.

With peach juice staining her lips a little, she continued to eat without concern, looking rather innocently towards the maid who had paused her explanation because of her, and said,

"Do continue... do continue..."

"...I have nothing more to say, then please wait here for a bit."

Watching Helair enjoy herself so blissfully as though she was home, the maid also fell silent for a second. After a brief pause, she managed to continue her speech.

She then turned around as if to say goodbye, reached out and twisted in the air, causing the space to lift like the flap of a tent, and she exited through the gap between the flaps, leaving Fisher and the others there exchanging curious glances.

"You are really carefree. We were just led into a barrier set by an Elf Duke, yet we don’t even know how to get out..."

Fisher sat beside the voracious Helair, surveying the serene and peaceful, almost enchanted peach blossom woods, and said.
