Boom!
It was the roaring announcement of a qualitative change in her body's life level.
The barrier of a Lesser magical beast was shattered to pieces, and she stepped directly over the threshold of a Novice Rank magical beast. After that, her momentum was unstoppable, surging forward all the way.
Lesser Low-tier, Lesser Mid-tier, Lesser High-tier...
Low-tier Novice, Mid-tier Novice...
Until she surged all the way to High-tier Novice in one breath, Qimeng only then slowed down her leveling.
“Eh? After breaking through to High-tier Novice, my tree form actually comprehended a new ability?”
The trait feedback from her tree form surprised Qimeng.
She tested the new skill. Accompanied by two glows of green mana, two squelching sounds came from beside her feet, and two wondrous creatures popped out.
They were two little Qimengs, only knee-high, wearing mini tree skirts, and looking exactly like her.
Even with her strength as an Advanced Rank magical beast, she was momentarily dumbfounded.
“Is... Is this a chibi version of my clone?!”
These two little things inherited about the strength of a High-tier Novice magical beast.
They couldn't speak, standing silently like exquisite dolls, their large eyes shining with the light of absolute obedience.
With just a thought from Qimeng, they would unconditionally execute any command.
Qimeng propped up her chin and looked at these two chibi clones, overjoyed.
This way, Xiaomi and Yinzhi could be completely freed from tedious daily chores.
Xiaomi wouldn't have to bitterly guard the mushroom patch every day, and Yinzhi wouldn't be distracted by territorial trifles. With these two little treasures taking over, the girls could focus on raising their strength and fulfilling their respective duties.
“It's decided. You'll be called Dameng, and you'll be Xiaomeng.”
Qimeng immediately issued her lordly command.
Dameng immediately took off on her short legs, heading toward the Divine Farmer's Herb Patch and the Firefly Garden, while also tending to the cellar.
Meanwhile, Xiaomeng went to prepare iced soda and honey-glazed roast meat, while also conducting the daily inspection of the territory.
“Excellent, perfect tools!”
Now that the territory's internal affairs were taken care of, Qimeng's eyes sharpened. She turned the remaining magic stones into fuel, once again pushing her tree form's mana to skyrocket!
The barrier to Intermediate Rank was unreasonably shattered to pieces, and surging mana rushed cheerfully through her tree veins.
Low-tier Intermediate, Mid-tier Intermediate...
As the mana gradually settled, her tree form's strength came to a halt at High-tier Intermediate.
First, the magic stones were all spent, and second, to advance to an Advanced Rank magical beast, she needed a deeper comprehension of natural traits or a Wood-attribute high-grade magic stone as a core catalyst.
But it didn't matter. With Devour All Things as her trump card, she could go toe-to-toe even if she encountered an actual Advanced Rank magical beast now.
After breaking through to Intermediate Rank, her tree form comprehended the 【Everlasting Magic Fruit】 trait. As long as she had sufficient mana, her tree body would condense special magic fruits.
Among the many special magic fruits with various functions, Qimeng was particularly interested in one. That Space Fruit actually came with a 【Space Storage】 trait.
Each Space Fruit was a natural, ultra-large capacity spatial backpack!
“This is a divine skill. I'm very satisfied. I won't even have to carry luggage in the future.”
However, just as she was about to lie down and enjoy the iced soda Xiaomeng brought over, a mountain-shaking, ocean-tsunami-like roar of crying and shouting suddenly echoed from outside the Tree Court.
“Waaah! Long live the Spirit Lord!!”
“Our clan's shackles... have been broken! They've really been broken, ahhh!”
Before Qimeng could even react, dozens of high-ranking Wood Elf lolis, led by Yinzhi, the Grand Elder, and the Chief, had already knelt all over the lawn of the Tree Court, weeping like pear blossoms in the rain.
“W-Wait a minute?! What's with these lolis? They're crying as if I'm dead...”
However, the resonance from her body made her realize the truth.
It turned out that the Leaf Vein Alliance had forcibly taken effect!
The despair of the Wood Elf clan in the northern valley, which had been stuck at High-tier Novice, had been violently punctured by her single-handed effort!
Among these high-ranking Wood Elves, there were many who used to be Advanced Rank magical beasts but had dropped in rank, suffering in frustration for countless years.
Now that the restriction was lifted, they didn't even need to cultivate. Relying on their own foundations, they recovered directly, performing a collective breakthrough on the spot!
“Reporting to the Spirit Lord!”
The Grand Elder was incredibly excited.
“Thanks to you, all the clan's high-ranking members, along with core forces like Yinzhi and Eve—a total of one hundred and forty-two people—have all returned to Intermediate Rank strength!”
Yinzhi's eyes were filled with even more adoration.
“The Spirit Lord is so amazing! With this power, if those damn lizardmen dare to come, we'll absolutely turn them all into fertilizer!”
Looking at this group of fanatical loli wrecking crews, Qimeng cleared her throat.
“Ahem... seeing as you startled me just now, as punishment, the next time you see me, you must all change into loli maid dresses. As for the fabric, the silk from the hunted Spider Queen has already been arranged for you.”
“Uh, eh?! O-Okay...”
The Grand Elder and Yinzhi were stunned, blushing as they dazedly agreed.
After the celebration, the Grand Elder took a step forward and respectfully requested instructions.
“Spirit Lord, just in case, we would like to evacuate the non-combat members of the northern valley in advance. The spider cave you cleared out before would make an excellent shelter.”
“Oh, that place. It's empty anyway, so do whatever you want with it.”
Qimeng waved her small hand indifferently.
“Understood! Thank you so much for your mercy!”
To repay the Spirit Lord's kindness and also to test their surging power, Yinzhi immediately ordered that the afternoon's special training be changed to a full-member wild hunt.
And this group of lolis did not let it go to their heads.
They thoroughly implemented the kite-and-pull essence taught by Qimeng. Maintaining their 【Forest-Hidden Walk】 state, they poured out magic while moving at high speeds.
Now, the ferocious wild magical beasts in the Genesis Forest were in deep trouble.
Throughout the entire afternoon, the Wood Elf lolis turned into lawnmowers, slaughtering the Intermediate Rank magical beasts within a dozens-of-miles radius until wails echoed everywhere.
At dusk, one corpse after another of Intermediate Rank magical beasts was carried into the Tree Court.
Looking at the Intermediate Rank nutrients covering the ground, Qimeng, sitting on her throne, picked up her iced soda, took a sip, and then revealed a charming smile.
“My, my, this feeling of being fed to the brim without even stepping out of the house... really pleases this tree to the bone.”
After her daily bath routine, Yinzhi, who served her, followed her back to the Tree Court.
As Yinzhi helped dry her hair, Qimeng casually unrolled the spell scrolls she had obtained from the Wood Elves.
For her current self, these seemingly complex spells were as simple as child's play.
“Um, Big Sister...”
Yinzhi, standing aside, was about to step forward to guide her, but the next second, her jaw dropped in shock.
She watched Qimeng pick up one scroll and master it.
Then pick up another and understand it instantly!
The natural spells of the Wood Elves were simply too compatible with her.
In Qimeng's hands, they were learned in the blink of an eye, as easily as counting off.
“No way...”
Yinzhi's eyes sparkled, adoring her so much she almost wanted to kneel.
“Big Sister, are you really the reincarnation of the Forest Goddess?! You are simply a god who rules over nature!”
“Hmph, just basic operations.”
Qimeng was highly satisfied, but when she flipped to one of the scrolls, she paused.
“Oh? There's actually a spirit rune for vassals?”
Qimeng casually modified it, upgrading it into a spirit rune more suited to the traits of a Demon Tree.
She plucked a Space Fruit to use as the core and lightly tapped it against the back of Yinzhi's hand.
An emerald light flashed, and an exquisite leaf spirit rune formed instantly.
“Ah!”
Yinzhi sensed it and couldn't help but gasp. It was a massive portable space!
“Xiaomi, you come over too. Everyone gets one.”
Summoned over, Xiaomi looked at the glowing emerald leaf spirit rune on the back of her hand.
She practically jumped for joy on the spot, flying around in the air several times before landing and rubbing herself all over Qimeng's arm.
“Waaah! This is awesome! Thank you, Master! I love you the most, Master!”
“Hmph, it's alright.”
Qimeng smiled elegantly. Occasionally acting as an omnipotent, perfect master didn't feel half bad.
“By the way, depending on the magic fruit, the spirit runes can have various miraculous effects. As long as you perform well in the future, I don't mind engraving a few more for you.”
Faint light flowed from Qimeng's fingers as she cast out the bait with a mischievous grin.
Xiaomi's eyes lit up, and she waved her small fists in excitement.
“Yay! I have a one-leaf spirit rune now! It's decided, I'm going to have my entire body covered in Master's spirit runes in the future!”
“W-What kind of strange and awful things are you saying!”
After Yinzhi complained in embarrassment, the Spirit Maiden loli puffed out her chest, refusing to be outdone.
“But... I will absolutely strive to get Big Sister's future spirit runes as well!”
