Chapter 205: Dryad's Garden
[Ding]
[Daily Quest: Absorb 2,200 Qi]
[Status: Done]
[Reward: 2,200 red jewels sent to inventory]
After the notification appeared, Zhang Fei sighed inwardly and shook his head, provoking a suspicious question from Janette, who was walking by his side. "Does that imply that you want my mother to be your woman too? Otherwise, you would never offer such a thing to her, and you guys just finished making out, which was her first experience doing such a thing with a man."
"Haha." Zhang Fei laughed softly when he heard that. "Hey, your mother is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met, and no other man has ever touched her, so it's natural that I want her to be my woman, right?"
"Humph!" Janette snorted at that. "You are a perverted and lustful incubus, and you even ate your own mother, so I shouldn't be surprised if you have an interest in my mother. However, you are right that my mother is one of the most beautiful women in this realm, and Leon has long been infatuated with her, but she repeatedly rejected him.
Fortunately, he is a person who always adheres to principles and self-respect, so he never forced her to become his queen."
"Hehe! Leon may be one of the rulers in this realm, but he will never succeed in getting Lillea because she will be mine sooner or later, so he can keep dreaming of getting her." Janette facepalmed after hearing that, but she did not deny Zhang Fei's words, especially since she herself had tasted his yang qi and experienced his prowess in bed, and she was truly addicted to both.
"Anyway, I found a blood demon tree in the Sky Jade Realm, and it brought trouble to the cultivators there, so I uprooted it and kept it in my other private place. However, if I leave it there for too long, its demon miasma will cause my wives to die and transform into mindless demons.
Since this realm is a demon realm, I thought about moving it here, and the demon miasma might be useful for you guys, but we must plant it in a place that other demons can't reach."
"A blood demon tree?" Zhang Fei nodded to Janette, who immediately thought of the best place to plant the tree. "I think I know a place for that, but we have to meet Milia at the city gate first."

A few moments later, they arrived at the city gates, where the three Dryads suddenly appeared in front of them, and one of them immediately spoke to him. "Zhang Fei! You should change into your fox form, so I can carry you in my arms."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly while listening to Cassia's request, and the other two Dryads also agreed with her. However, Janette immediately stopped them. "He's still busy right now, so he doesn't have time for you guys. Anyway, I want to take him to the secret garden, so I want you to take us there, Milia."
"Eh?" Janette's request momentarily stunned Milia. "Princess, that-"
"It's okay; you don't need to think about that." Janette interrupted Milia as she hugged Zhang Fei's waist. "He's my man, so he's now part of us. My mother also likes him, so I'm sure she won't forbid him from entering that place."
"All right, I will lead you two there." Milia then turned to the other two. "You two must guard our gate well, and I will be back soon."
Cassia and Viola wore disappointed looks as they looked at Zhang Fei's back, especially since they were so eager to have fun with Zhang Fei's fox form, but he just left them behind.

'Hmm? Milia's plant generation, Cassia's forest manipulation, and Viola's knowledge replication all seem interesting.' Zhang Fei inwardly muttered as he read their status. 'What are the uses of their three abilities, Mei?'
[I will show them to you, Master.]
[Forest manipulation: The user can create, shape, and manipulate the forests (including jungles, taiga, rainforests, woodlands, etc.) and everything in them, including all the aspects of the forests.]
[Plant generation: The user can generate plants, including vines, moss, fungi, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits, and flowers, whether by drawing them from already existing plants, or by manifesting them wherever they want.]
[Knowledge replication: The user can replicate any kind of knowledge, be it knowledge of a subject, a foreign language, or mastery of a fighting style. They can duplicate information from creatures or inanimate media of data, such as books, etc.]
Zhang Fei wasn't very interested in Milia's plant generation because he wasn't a long-range fighter, and Cassia's forest manipulation was quite interesting to him, but he didn't feel like he needed it that much.
However, Viola's knowledge replication piqued his interest greatly, especially since it could help him learn new things, and it would be even better if combined with the comprehension feature in his training space. 'Hehe, I need to get close to Viola and imitate her knowledge replication as quickly as possible, so I can learn new techniques faster.'
[Viola's knowledge replication is indeed useful for you, Master. However, I think you should also mimic Milia's plant generation and Cassia's forest manipulation, and both of them might be useful to you someday. Moreover, your demon mimicry has no limits, so there's no harm in mimicking them, right?]
'Yeah, you're right about that.' Zhang Fei replied with a nod of agreement, but he also still felt amazed by the system and all the abilities contained in it, which gave him extraordinary privileges compared to other cultivators, beasts, or demons. 'Okay, I'll speak with them later; I'm certain they won't mind if I give them a kiss.'
After they walked for some time, Zhang Fei and the others arrived in front of a small waterfall, and Milia immediately led them into the waterfall before arriving in front of a dead path, confusing him.
However, Milia immediately touched the wall at the end of the road and muttered the dryad's native language, and the wall suddenly turned into many tree branches before moving away to both sides. Soon, Zhang Fei could see the beauty of the garden behind it, which was filled with various kinds of trees and flower plants.
"I didn't expect there to be a hidden garden in this kind of place, and other demons don't seem to be able to find this place."
"Haha." Janette laughed as she pulled Zhang Fei into the garden. "Honestly, this garden is a legacy of our ancestors, so only a few people know about it and can open it, and Milia is one of them. Even I, as the dryad princess, couldn't open this place, so I brought her with us."
"I see." Zhang Fei nodded in understanding before turning to Milia. "Can you help me with something?"
Hearing that, Janette immediately raised her eyebrows, assuming that Zhang Fei was also targeting Milia to become his woman. 'Tch! This lustful incubus! Sooner or later, all the dryads in this forest will fall into his arms, and he will probably become the first dryad king!'
Unfortunately, Janette misunderstood her intentions, especially since Zhang Fei wasn't interested in Milia, and she only wanted to obtain her plant generation ability.
"Since my princess recognizes you as her man, then you are part of us, and I will definitely help you." Zhang Fei smiled while listening to Milia's answer. "What kind of help do you need from me?"
"I want to kiss you."
"Huh?" Milia was stunned for a moment before turning to Janette with a look full of questions, especially since Zhang Fei was her princess, and she was her princess.
"It's okay; you can let him kiss you, and he won't do anything else to you."
Milia nodded to Janette, then looked at Zhang Fei again. "Since my princess gave her permission, you can kiss me."
Wasting no time, Zhang Fei stood in front of Milia and kissed her lips directly, but he didn't do anything else to her, and he only mimicked her ability.
[Ding]
[You succeeded in mimicking the plant generation of a Dryad named Milia.]
As soon as the notification appeared, Zhang Fei immediately moved away from Milia and used his new ability, leaving her stunned, especially when two new flower plants appeared beside him, which was the effect of her own ability.
"Haha!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed after doing so. "Milia, your ability to create new plants is really good, and I can use it to do several things."
"How can you imitate my abilities?" While wearing a confused look, Milia asked Zhang Fei.
Janette immediately patted Milia's shoulder. "You don't need to be confused about that; he is indeed a strange creature, so he can do some things beyond our understanding, and he has also mimicked my and my mother's abilities before."
Milia didn't deny that, especially since she herself had seen Zhang Fei's three forms, and there had never been another human or demon like her before.
'Open the portal to the training space, Mei.'
As soon as Mei opened the portal to the training space, Janette and Milia frowned, and Zhang Fei immediately brought the blood demon tree out from inside, making its demon miasma quickly fill the garden. However, the trees and flower plants in that place seemed unaffected by it, and instead they absorbed it greedily.
Seeing that, the two Dryads immediately tried to absorb the miasma, but they didn't feel any changes in their bodies, confusing them, so Zhang Fei spoke to them to explain. "Honestly, I myself don't know what effect this demon miasma will have on us, especially since I've absorbed quite a lot of it before, but I haven't been able to feel any significant changes in my body.
Perhaps the effect won't work immediately, and we might have to wait quite a long time to know the true effects."
Both Dryad nodded in understanding at Zhang Fei, and Milia pointed toward the garden's center. "In that case, you can plant this tree over there, so I can help you monitor it, and I will inform you if there are any changes that occur to the plants in this place."
Zhang Fei immediately rushed there and planted the blood demon tree in the center of the garden. He then took Janette to leave the garden with his teleportation, especially since he wanted to complete his daily quest as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Milia approached the blood demon tree, squatted beside it, and touched the black leaves with her fingers. After that, she informed her queen about the blood demon, and Lillea quickly arrived at the garden and checked it. "I don't know where Zhang Fei got this black tree, but I can feel a strong aura from it, even though it hasn't reached maturity yet.
That's why you have to keep watching it carefully; it might be able to help us protect ourselves from the army of the rulers."
"Yes, my Queen."
