After hearing Chamo’s request for help, Xu Sili naturally took it seriously.
Not only did he have a previous relationship with Asheng, but without her reminder, Xenos and his older brother would’ve been taken away by the Bewatt lizardmen before.
No matter what, this kindness could never be forgotten.
“What is the specific situation of Asheng now?” Xu Sili asked.
Chamo’s face looked a bit haggard.
Previously in the elf tribe, in order to protect Asheng and the Tree of Life, he forcibly cut through space to deal with interstellar beasts. This caused a recurrence of old injuries.
For more than a month, he had been worrying about the unconscious Asheng. He didn’t have enough time to rest well and his situation wasn’t optimistic either.
It was just that Chamo didn’t say much. He simply explained the problems that Asheng faced.
“In order to save itself, the Tree of Life purified Asheng’s bloodline and handed her the position of elf queen. Then it connected its fate to Asheng’s.”
Chamo explained, “According to the ideal situation, the seed of the Tree of Life will grow with Asheng. This is actually a good thing for Asheng.”
The Tree of Life was a very powerful tree species, and Asheng had the blood of the elf royal family.
The two of them complemented each other, which was good for Asheng. He could also gain a glimmer of hope for the continuation of the forest elves. It was a win-win situation.
“It is a pity that Asheng is too young,” Chamo said regretfully.
“Her strength is weak so she is more affected by the Tree of Life…”
“So, when the seed of the Tree of Life enters a deep sleep and Asheng can’t provide the energy for it to sprout and grow, she falls asleep along with the seed, right?”
Xu Sili answered.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Chamo nodded. “That’s roughly the case.”
As for why he asked for help… Xu Sili understood it after thinking about it for a while.
“Are you here for Sprouting?” He asked.
“Yes.”
Chamo didn’t deny that he had come here for Sprouting. He said, “Maybe Your Majesty doesn’t understand—”
“The song Sprouting was actually composed by an elf. Later, a human musician wrote the lyrics. It was slowly spread and sung, eventually evolving into a folk song.”
“I happened to hear it and taught Asheng this song when she was very young.”
He just hadn’t expected that this song, or rather, this piece of music would play such a big role in the hands of this little emperor.
Xu Sili couldn’t help being slightly stunned when he heard this. He really hadn’t known the origin.
The note for the Sprouting song was that it was a folk song from Escher, so it didn’t necessarily belong to the Roland Empire. It was also unknown if it came from some other ancient kingdom that had been destroyed.
If it was as Chamo said, it could explain his previous doubts.
After he made Sprouting popular, he listened to many people singing it. However, only Asheng made people feel a vigorous vitality when she sang it.
It was because this was originally a song that belonged to the elves.
“I see.”
Xu Sili nodded and said, “Where is Asheng? Let’s go together and give it a try.”
It was impossible to ignore her. Right now, there was no reason to refuse.
“Asheng is in His Majesty Joan’s palace. Your Majesty, Marshal, please go ahead. I will arrive shortly.”
Chamo bowed down slightly and said respectfully.
Xu Sili glanced at him doubtfully and used the Insight technique on him. Then Xu Sili realized that Chamo’s injury was actually serious again.
It was obviously almost healed before…
He shook his head. He threw two bottles of health medicine to Chamo and let Si Sheng take him away.
Chamo looked at the health medicine thrown by the little emperor to him and slowly exhaled.
He didn’t try to be brave any longer. He opened the bottle and took one pill silently. He felt better and raised his feet to leave.
As a result, he suddenly saw a gap open in the air. A pure black figure jumped out of the space.
The shadow leopard stood there and glanced at him. Then he turned around reluctantly and said, “Come up. The master asked me to take you there.”
Chamo looked at him and laughed softly.
“Then I will trouble you, little September.” He unceremoniously climbed onto the shadow leopard’s back, clamped his legs together and sat firmly.
Listening to the pleasure in his voice, September couldn’t help gritting his teeth and feeling a bit aggrieved. However, he ran very steadily. He didn’t jump up and down to intentionally tease Chamo.
Chamo also noticed this and couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. Then he sensed something and said with a smile, “Little September’s strength seems to have improved recently.”
“Hmph.”
September snorted awkwardly and ignored him.
Chamo wasn’t surprised and kept teasing him in a good mood. This made the shadow leopard almost explode.
Fortunately, His Highness Joan’s palace wasn’t far away. With his speed, he could get there in less than two minutes.
“Go down,” September said coldly at the entrance of the palace.
Chamo still had a smile on his face but he knew his priorities. Now wasn’t the time to tease the kitten. Asheng’s matter was more important.
As a result, he had just taken two steps when he heard the shadow leopard stop him.
Chamo turned around. He saw the black panther crouching on the ground before saying in a vicious voice, “Stretch out your hand.”
Chamo blinked and held out a hand to him.
The blank panther’s flexible, long tail stretched out. Once the tip of the tail stretched out, a few sparkling crystals fell on Chamo’s white palm.
“What is this?” Chamo asked while playing with the crystals.
“The star core of the interstellar beasts. Absorb it. It will be good for you.”
September suppressed his voice and said awkwardly.
These star cores were all one or two stars. His master previously massacred tens of thousands of interstellar beasts in Orchid Moon City and collected all the star cores.
As a result, he felt that these star cores were too small. He threw them into the contract space and asked September to pick out the big ones. The remaining small ones would be left for September.
At first, he thought these star cores took up space and affected his sleep, but he didn’t dare to throw them away. However, he absorbed one by chance and discovered that these star cores contained very pure energy.
This was also the reason why his strength, which had recently reached a bottleneck, suddenly increased.
He wasn’t sure if this energy would be useful for Chamo’s injuries, but it would be known after giving it a try.
After September explained it, he saw Chamo look at him with a smile and say softly, “Okay, I’ll try it tonight. Thank you, September.”
September saw his smile and stiffened slightly.
“You…”
“Momo! You’re back~”
At this time, a clear and childish voice was heard. A little boy with blue hair and blue eyes ran out of the palace on his short legs.
Little Shadow first ran to Chamo happily. The moment he saw the shadow leopard, he immediately hugged Chamo’s thigh, hid behind him and cautiously poked his head out.
It had been a few months since he came to the human world. He had learned the language quickly and could now speak a lot.
At this moment, the little merman opened his round blue eyes and looked at the shadow leopard curiously.
He had never seen September in his beast form, but the familiar aura of the black leopard made the child feel at ease. Therefore, he didn’t cry.
September glanced at him a few times before curling his lips. He jumped to the top of the palace and crouched on top to keep watch, not intending to follow them into the palace.
Chamo looked up at his figure. After a moment, he lowered his head and picked up Sea Song, saying with a smile, “Let’s go in.”
“Okay~”
The little boy nodded obediently.
Inside, Xu Sili and Si Sheng had arrived at Asheng’s room.
The little girl was lying on her side in the bed. Her body was still curled up and she held a fist-sized seed tightly in her arms. She seemed to have maintained this position the whole time.
Her little face was slightly pale.
When they came in, Joan’s white cat lying on the bedside table looked at them. He meowed when he heard the movement and hid under the bed.
Joan had left the cat behind when he followed Val. Even after arriving at the alien planet, he often sent messages back to ask about Asheng’s situation.
“I greet Your Majesty, I greet the Marshal!”
The maid standing guard quickly saluted them. Then she was dismissed by Xu Sili with a wave of his hand.
He came to the bedside and first tested her forehead. He wanted to hold the little girl’s hand but found she was holding the seed tightly. She never relaxed her hand at all.
Xu Sili didn’t dare to use too much force. He had to give up when he saw this.
Seeing Asheng like this, it was no wonder that Chamo was so worried. He was very patient to wait until after the beast wave was over before coming to Xu Sili for help.
Then Xu Sili used Insight on the little girl.
[Asheng]
[Identity: Special talent NPC, elf queen.
Bloodline: Forest Elf.
Personal level: Lv 10.
Health: 4,500/95,000
Magic: 808/9,000
Elemental Affinity: Wood
Special talents: elemental attraction (No matter where you are, the elemental concentration within 10 meters is 100% while the wood element concentration is +150%).
Special state: symbiosis (shares life with the Tree of Life. Can actively remove this state). Sleeping, weak.]
Compared with the last time, there were two more states, ‘Sleeping’ and ‘weak.’ If Xu Sili remembered correctly, her upper health limit had also become smaller.
Before, she had obviously returned to full health. Now it fell again and was even worse.
According to his experience, the upper health limit should be related to the lifespan of an NPC. This meant that in the process of nourishing the Tree of Life, Asheng had been slowly reducing her lifespan.
Her situation truly wasn’t optimistic.
Without further delay, Xu Sili took out the flute of the God of Music from the storage capsule and started playing it gently.
The vitality-filled melody of Sprouting sounded. Xu Sili didn’t distract himself by controlling the range of the skill. He instead devoted all his attention to this piece of music.
In his mind, the scene where he heard Asheng singing this song for the first time reappeared in his mind.
The little girl was like a real elf, traveling through the fields in a carefree manner. Her singing was full of vitality. He was deeply attracted the moment he heard it.
Now, he repaid it to her.
The sound elements came alive.
there was no need for his control at all. They transformed into little elves and surrounded the little girl. A faint purple fluorescence enveloped the little girl’s body.
Her health slowly recovered and her face gradually became rosy.
Chamo walked in quickly from outside the room. He couldn’t help sighing with relief when he saw this scene.
He didn’t interrupt. He just silently stepped aside with Sea Song in his arms.
On the other hand, the little merman was gifted with music and couldn’t help humming along when he heard this piece of music.
As he joined, the sound elements in the room actually became more active. A few originally bare flower pots on the windowsill actually sprouted green seedlings in the blink of an eye.
The seedlings were still growing vigorously. Soon, they became lush and green. They even attracted birds to stand on the windowsill and listen to the music.
Even though Asheng’s condition improved, the seed of the Tree of Life showed no signs of recovery.
As long as the seed of the Tree of Life didn’t sprout, Asheng wouldn’t be able to wake up.
Xu Sili wasn’t discouraged. At the end of the song, he continued to play.
He played it over and over again.
Until the sun gradually set in the west, the seed of the Tree of Life didn’t move at all.
