"So, Master, who are we waiting for?" Scy inquired, her curious gaze scanning the surroundings as they stood near the teleportation station, the hum of energy buzzing around them.


    "Well, she mentioned she would be arriving any time soon," Eli replied nonchntly, his fingers lightly brushing over his slightly reddened lips, a faint smile ying on his features.


    "What happened to your lips?" Scy probed, noticing the subtle change.


    Eli chuckled softly, "Just a yful encounter with a snake earlier."


    Scy arched an eyebrow and frowned with scepticism crossing her face as she processed Eli''s response.


    Before she could delve further into the topic,


    "Sorry!!"


    Scarlett''s voice rang out with an apology as she hurried toward them, her expression slightly flustered.


    "Why the dy?" Eli inquired, his tone filled with yful curiosity as Scarlett ushered them into the teleportation tform.


    After a few minutes, in the same ce where Eli stood,


    "That bitch!!" Mia''s voice cut through the air like a de, filled with frustration and anger. Her breaths came out in heavy bursts as she tried to control her emotions.


    "S-She slipped away!" Zera''s voice joined in, thick with disdain and a burning desire to catch up to their elusive target. They had been tailing Scarlett, hoping to uncover her secrets alone trip with Eli, only to be outmanoeuvred by her cunning.


    "BIG SISTER!!!" Mia''s cry rang out, filled with pain and anguish. The thought of her brother being with others while she felt neglected pierced her heart deeply, leaving her wondering if Eli had forgotten about her.


    Zera shared simr sentiments, wondering if Eli had forsaken her just because he was fucking with her mother.


    While they seethed with resentment and jealousy, Asher Eli, Scy, and Scarlett arrived in Flora Continent, unaware of the turmoil their presence had stirred in Mia and Zera''s hearts.


    Flora Continent


    "Whoosshh~" Eli whistled in awe as he took in the breathtaking scenery, the lush greenery stretching out as far as the eye could see. Though he had visited for training purposes before, this time he truly appreciated the beauty of the surroundings.


    "Come here," the silver-haired elf, Alysia, beckoned him over with a graceful wave of her hand.


    "Hello, Alysia," Eli greeted her with a warm smile as he approached.


    Despite the murmurs and disapproving looks from the surrounding crowd, the Queen of the Flora Continent weed the human with open arms.


    Ignoring other''s murmurs, Eli stood before Alysia and said, "It''s been a while, isn''t it?"


    "Oh,e on, it''s just been a few days," Alysia replied with a smile that masked her inner excitement.She was ecstatic to see Eli after such a long time. ''Ah~ I want to show him how much I''ve aplished,'' she thought.


    As the other elves began to gather around, their curiosity piqued by the unusual sight, Alysia gestured gracefully towards the waiting carriage, inviting Eli and hispanions to join her.


    "So, what''s the problem here?" Scarlett inquired, noticing the odd looks and the throwing of old fruits at the carriage, indicating some level of rebellion.


    "It seems they still didn''t like a ruler who bowed her head to a monster, wouldn''t you say?" Eli spected, observing the tensions in the air.


    "Yes, if not for your help, I fear I would have already been ousted from my position. s, I have only two Elders on my side, while the opposition boasts a few more, making it challenging to maintain stability," Alysia exined wearily. She had tirelessly sought to garner support from the other elders, but their demands remained steep, often revolving around matrimonial alliances.


    Asking her to marry into their home... Truly Replusive!! Especially... After seeing Asher Eli, Alysia couldn''t think of anyone.


    "I understand," Eli nodded empathetically, recognizing the delicate bnce of power at y.


    "Tsk, that''s why I detest dealing with such fickle and maniptive individuals," Scarlett remarked, her tone tinged with disdain towards the political machinations of the elven council.


    Alysia offered a gentle smile, acknowledging Scarlett''s frustration and theplexities of governance.


    "Shall we proceed to the strait?" Alysia suggested, eager to address the pressing issues at hand.


    "I''m all for it. The sooner we resolve these matters, the sooner we can enjoy a long chat" Eli agreed, his expression hinting something else.


    At Eli''s words, a faint blush coloured the cheeks of thedies present, their hearts fluttering at the prospect of an unknown long chat.


    Alysia guided them to the home of one of the elders, where they were met by a figure with white hair, dressed in a loose robe.


    "So, he is the one, Your Majesty?" the Elder inquired as he settled into a chair.


    "Yes," Alysia confirmed.


    "Follow me, Lord" the Elder beckoned, leading them to a vast cultivatingnd behind his tree house.


    ''Lord?'' Both Scarlett and Scy raised their eyebrows.Eli smiled even more as Alysia''s face turned red.


    "Wow!" Scarlett and Scy eximed in unison as they beheld the breathtaking sight of five hectares ofnd adorned with a myriad of flowers, their ethereal glow suffusing the entire space with a heavenly aura.


    "I am surprised at how quickly these flowers have grown from just a seed," the Elder remarked, his astonishment evident.


    "It''s quite remarkable," Alysia agreed, sharing in the sense of wonder.


    "Hmm... It''s not as much as it could be," Eli interjected, his tone measured.


    "Not much?" Scy questioned, puzzled by Eli''s assessment.


    "Yes, many seeds failed to germinate, as you can see from the density of the flowers. It''s far less than the number of seeds nted," Eli exined, his gaze scanning the vast expanse of flora.


    "In any case, let''s begin the process," Eli continued, addressing the Elder directly, "Pay close attention to what I''m about to do, and remember, this method is not to be shared with others," he emphasized, ncing at Alysia to ensure their confidentiality.


    "Have you already established a contract with him?" Eli inquired, seeking confirmation from Alysia.


    "Yes, he is under our control" Alysia confirmed.


    "Good," Eli nodded, handing Scarlett and Scy bottles containing minute frozen worms and instructing them to disperse the contents around the flowers.


    After the worms were scattered, Eli gave them bottles filled with his own blood, directing them to draw intricate boundaries around the flourishing flowers


    "Finished," Scarlett announced, stepping back afterpleting the intricate markings.


    "Very well," Eli acknowledged, signalling for everyone to retreat to a safe distance.


    Eli raised his hand as he,


    Mana breathing


    Deep Inhale


    "Blood Arts: 1st Form"


    As he did so, the area around the flowers began to glow, and the frozen worms, previously inert, suddenly sprang to life, wriggling with newfound vigour.


    ''ttrrr''''


    The once vibrant flowers now became the target of the voracious worms, which rapidly consumed them, turning the once colourfulnd into a breeding ground for these creatures.


    "What!!" The Elder was shocked and dismayed at the sight of his hard work being devoured so swiftly.


    "Not enough," Eli murmured, noting theck of nourishment in the soil.


    "Where is the other Elder?" Eli inquired, seeking more resources to bolster thend.


    Alysia, though surprised by the turn of events, pointed to a nearby area. "It''s not far from here," she replied.


    "Good," Eli acknowledged, understanding his next course of action.


    Without hesitation, he moved to the other Elder''s location and repeated the process, every bit of flowers and transferring it to the worm-fillednd, ensuring it was rich with nutrients.


    "Let''s return in a little while," Eli suggested.
