Damn it, who on earth invented such convoluted clothing?!
Seeing the Spirit Lord struggle, Yinzhi giggled. She took a step forward, bringing with her a dizzying, youthful fragrance, and closed in with a slightly assertive air.
Under Qimeng's nearly suffocating gaze, the Wood Elf girl flashed a stunningly mischievous smile.
“That's why I said, you should let Yinzhi teach you how to wear it step-by-step, my... Big Sister?”
After a few minutes of futile struggle, Qimeng gave up resisting.
She closed her eyes peacefully and stopped thinking, letting herself become like a soulless dress-up doll, allowing Yinzhi's cool little hands to grope around her body... Ah, no, to help her get dressed properly.
She had completely given up resisting!
Or rather, she couldn't resist at all, damn it!
“There, Big Sister, you're all dressed.”
Hearing Yinzhi's cheerful voice, Qimeng finally opened her eyes cautiously.
Truth be told, this was the first time in her three lives that she was wearing a genuine women's dress.
After all, she had been a guy in her previous two lives. She had never worn such a light, breezy Wood Elf holy white short skirt that felt like it would blow away with the slightest gust of wind.
Not only that, but her feet were slipped into a pair of Wood Elf feather shoes, her wrists were adorned with green-glowing bracelets, and a string of naturally luminous glowing grass was tied around her ankle.
However, when Yinzhi took half a step back and saw the sight before her by the dim magical light, the Spirit Maiden froze on the spot, her beautiful eyes lighting up with utter amazement!
“My goodness... H-How does this look like some forest monster at all?!”
Yinzhi cupped her flushed cheeks, brimming with excitement.
“If I didn't know better, you look even more like an elf than we Wood Elves do... No, you are the Forest Goddess herself descended! You're too beautiful, Big Sister!”
Beneath the holy white short skirt was a pair of fair, slender legs accentuated by the feather shoes. The natural jewelry served as the perfect finishing touch, making her look incredibly ethereal.
If there was any flaw to be found, it was her long hair, which had been messed up by the bath and now almost completely covered her lovely face.
“Um... Big Sister, do you have a knife? Let me help you tidy up and trim your messy hair,” Yinzhi suggested thoughtfully.
“My hair is indeed too long and blocks my vision. Let's head back to the Tree Court.”
Qimeng led Yinzhi back to the Tree Court.
A moment later, sitting on her throne, the Demon Tree lady reached into her inventory and pulled out a gorgeous short blade flowing with a green, windy aura.
“Here, use this 【Gale Cleaver】, or 'Cleaver' for short.”
“...”
Upon seeing the blade clearly, Yinzhi fell into a speechless daze.
Wait a minute? Isn't that our Wood Elf clan's legendary wind-attribute weapon? You're just casually using it as hair shears?!
“Uh, um, Big Sister...”
Holding this legendary weapon that felt as heavy as a mountain, Yinzhi broke out in a cold sweat.
“This blade... it seems to be our clan's sacred relic...”
“Oh, is that so? Is it sharp?”
“I-It definitely cuts through iron like butter. It can easily slice through the defenses of even Advanced Rank magical beasts...”
“As long as it cuts. Go ahead and use it, just don't nick my skin.”
“Y-Yes, my Lord.”
Wiping the cold sweat from her brow, Yinzhi used this legendary weapon, coveted by countless adventurers, as hair shears.
The bright moonlight poured into the Tree Court.
Qimeng sat on her throne while Yinzhi used her magic to help dry Qimeng's long hair, then braided a few strands into elegant plaits. The Gale Cleaver traced a few green arcs in the air, neatly trimming away the messy split ends.
With the two stunningly beautiful girls braiding hair under the moonlight, the scene was breathtakingly picturesque.
Except for the fact that the tool used was a bit hardcore...
Enjoying the cozy salon service of another world, Qimeng squinted her eyes halfway and suddenly remembered some important business.
“By the way, after you all made the 【Leaf Vein Alliance】 with me, did you notice any specific changes in your body?”
“Ah, about that!”
Speaking of serious business, Yinzhi's eyes filled with irrepressible joy.
“Thanks to you, my Lord, my injuries have fully healed after being nourished by the Mother Tree's nutrients!”
“That was fast...”
Qimeng first marveled, but then her brow furrowed as she caught a strange term.
“Wait, what did you just say? Mother Tree?”
“Your main body, the great tree, is the Mother Tree. Isn't that obvious?”
“Huh?! I am absolutely not some motherly figure!”
“But...”
Blushing, Yinzhi explained shyly.
“After the alliance is established, our lives are bound. In the future, we will need to use your roots as a medium to jointly nurture and hatch newborn Wood Elves. So, the little ones born in the future will all call you Mother Tree.”
Crash!!
Qimeng felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her out of the blue, her inner self contorting into a shocked expression identical to the famous painting 'The Scream'.
Oh, no!!
I'm... going to be a mother?! And a mother to hundreds or thousands of lolis?!
This definitely counts as getting pregnant out of wedlock... No, that's not how it works! Calm down, Qimeng, think about the biological logic!
Wood Elves are like asexual cloning technology! It's not like they are flesh and blood falling out of the belly of my beautiful girl avatar. The principle is completely different!
Yes, exactly! As long as I think of it this way, I can continue to maintain my pure, noble, and elegant self!
After conducting a mental brainstorm and successfully hypnotizing herself, Qimeng wiped away a handful of cold sweat and calmed down.
“Cough, so besides this child-bearing setting, is there anything else?”
“Your Mother Tree form not only nourished my body, but more importantly, our species rank limit has indeed been broken!”
“A broken limit?”
“Yes!” Yinzhi clenched her small fists in excitement.
“Previously, because everyone dropped in rank, we Wood Elves could never dream of stepping into the realm of Advanced Rank magical beasts in our entire lives. But now, through the alliance, we can break through our ranks normally! However...”
“Our breakthrough limit is locked below your level. Simply put, only as you, our Spirit Lord, grow stronger will the growth ceiling of us vassals rise accordingly.”
Hearing this, Qimeng understood.
This unreasonable 【Leaf Vein Alliance】, in essence, meant that as she continuously advanced, her Wood Elf subordinates would constantly unlock their limits, growing into an overpowered army of infinite possibilities.
Originally, she just wanted to peacefully drink soda, bask in the sun, and live as a carefree immortal.
But when she opened her eyes...
Her current lineup had somehow turned into a jealous, silly bee girl, a drama queen incarnate of a personal Spirit Maiden, plus a legion of Wood Elf lolis ready to call her 'Mom' at any moment.
“Sigh...”
On the Demon Tree throne, the Forest Goddess in her brand-new skin let out a quiet sigh.
What kind of sin did I commit to end up with such a bunch of weird, dramatic characters...
