Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 267: What is happening?

"Another one is gone? What is going on here?"

"How are so many of my vines disappearing? Just what is going on here?"

"No, this can’t keep happening. I’m losing more and more of my nutrients. If this keeps happening, I’ll have no way of evolving."

"Roar."

(Your majesty, I am here.)

"Go and check what is happening. There are puppets that are disappearing, I want to know what the cause is!"

Their voice couldn’t help peaking a bit at the end of their words as they just completely lost control of their emotions.

But soon after...

"What’s going on? Why did that one disappear as well?!"

"No, no, no, if this keeps happening, then I won’t be able to survive. There’s no doubt that I’ll be destroyed soon...what about my plan to take over this world then? What will happen to my plan if I’m destroyed?"

"Ah! How could there be such a thing happening in this lower realm? Wasn’t this supposed to be an easy place to take over?"

The one who was saying this was...a small flower.

It was a small flower that was poking out of the ground in the middle of the forest.

It didn’t seem like a terrifying thing at all with how it looked like a harmless little flower with yellow petals, but underneath the ground...there were roots that ran all over the forest. These roots were what was controlling the vines that were poking out of the ground.

This small flower was the true identity of the one causing the chaos in this Myriad Beast Valley.

But right now, it was panicking.

"Come here!" The small flower suddenly shouted out.

When it did, there were four spirit beasts that suddenly appeared around it.

These four had been standing guard before this, but they immediately came over when the small flower summoned them.

These four were the Four Kings.

If one looked closely, they would be able to see the vine that was running up their legs to show that they were being controlled just like the other spirit beasts.

Once the four of them appeared in front of the small flower, they bowed their heads to the small flower before giving their own roars.

(Your majesty, we are here.)

"What is going on in my territory? Just what are you idiots doing?!" The small flower didn’t hold back at all as it started tearing into the Four Kings.

One might think that spirit beasts as powerful as the Four Kings would have their own pride and wouldn’t take this from the small flower, but...

They just bowed their heads and said, "Roar."

(Your majesty, we do not know. We’ve been sending the soldiers after the humans that have invaded our territory, we do not have any clues as to what is happening out there.)

"You, you, you idiots! Why do you think that I made you in charge if you can’t even do something as simple as this! I want you to find the reason why this is happening or else!"

The Four Kings didn’t seem angry that the small flower was talking to them like this.

They just returned to their positions before summoning some spirit beasts to their side.

These spirit beasts were the same race as the Four Kings, meaning that they were from the same tribe as the Four Kings. They were the few followers that the Four Kings had and there was a reason for that.

Their strength was only second to the Four Kings...if one only counted their race.

There were other spirit beasts that were stronger than these, but they were the only ones that the Four Kings trusted since they were from the same race as them.

These spirit beasts soon spread out and went to find the cause of the disappearance.

"What is happening?!" It didn’t take long for the small flower to suddenly make this outburst again.

That was because the signal from the spirit beasts that the Four Kings sent had also disappeared.

It wasn’t just the signal from them that disappeared, but also a bunch of other spirit beasts.

It was like all of them had suddenly disappeared into thin air.

"No, no, this can’t be allowed! This can’t be allowed to happen! I refuse to go down like this!" The small flower was in a complete panic at this point.

"Come here!" It shouted once more, summoning the Four Kings in front of it again.

Once they appeared, it looked at the lynx and said, "Go and find what the cause of this disappearance is! I want to know what is causing these disappearances right away!"

The lynx was surprised before saying, "Roar."

(Your majesty, it isn’t safe if we don’t protect you.)

The small flower slapped its little leaf hand down and said, "Shut up! I am in charge here, listen to my orders!"

The way that the small flower spoke, it was clear that it didn’t have any respect for the Four Kings. The way that the small flower talked to them, it was like it saw them as nothing more than indispensable tools.

That was even though the Four Kings cared so much for the small flower.

However, it didn’t seem like the Four Kings were offended to hear the small flower talking to them like this. It seemed like the Four Kings just accepted this and chose to follow its orders.

The lynx said to the others, "Roar."

(Keep his majesty safe. I’ll deal with this right away.)

The other three nodded in agreement before moving back to their position, but they were now in a formation where the three of them covered the space that the four of them had covered before.

All during this, the small flower roared, "You idiots better do your jobs properly! Don’t make me regret choosing you as my servants!"

The lynx didn’t seem to mind this as it said to itself, "Roar."

(I’m going to kill those idiots who are slacking off.)

It seemed that there was a deep loyalty instilled in these Four Kings.
