After all the events disappeared, Liu Shu's mind ca back to itself. During that process, she had been in sothing similar to a trance, unable to comprehend what was happening. Yet, after finishing the summoning, the World Tree's mind understood what had happened, stupefying her. 'What was that giant eye?'
While Liu Shu looked upward to the limits of her , she felt a pleasant, rugged surface rubbing on her trunk. Her gaze focused on that area, and saw the newly summoned serpent rubbing against her in a spoiled manner.
Being around 20 ters long and with a wingspan reaching a trendous 15 ters, it created an imposing monster. Unlike typical snakes, the width of its body was huge, giving it a bulky and nacing appearance.
Liu Shu noticed the leaves in its wings fluttering with clear happiness as it climbed around her body, making her giggle. "He is so cute! Hahaha~."
Flor looked down at the thing that was summoned by the unimaginably strong being with a doubtful and wary look. While she had received plenty of benefits, she couldn't just let her guard down. "Are you sure it is under your control?"
Liu Shu's connection with the was solid, giving Liu Shu a reassuring feeling. So, she answered confidently. "Yes! That big friend's child is very obedient!"
"Big friend…" Flor's face twitched several tis. "I think only you can call that thing that way."
The Arboreal Winged Serpent noticed Flor, and in an instant, his black pupils inside the green reptilian eyes thinned to lines. Swiftly, he attacked and pounced on her, opening his mouth.
Flor's face changed, and she prepared to defend herself when Liu Shu's voice softly spread around.
"Stop."
The serpent froze in front of Flor, his mouth wide open. The creature's hot breath hit Flor's body, forcing the Rose Fairy Queen to realize how fast his pounce was just now. 'Isn't it E Rank!? So fast!'
"Hehehe~, Don't worry, little friend! Flor is not a bad guy! Thanks for protecting ~."
The serpent closed his mouth and observed the tiny fairy. One creature being 45 centiters tall and the other being 20 ters long made the difference between them large enough that a single bite was more than enough to swallow the Rose Fairy.
Of course, while Flor was weakened, now at Level 18 and the E Rank, she was no pushover, so other than being montarily startled, if the serpent had followed through with its attack, it would've ended in a bad situation.
While nothing happened, Flor focused on the Serpent's body during the attack and noticed that his scales, while woodlike, had an extraordinary sheen. They didn't look fragile or brittle; instead, they looked incredibly sturdy yet flexible, an incredibly resilient combination.
Flor rembered his speed, and full of intrigue, she asked Liu Shu. "What are its stats? It was really quick for a Level 11 E Rank creature."
The World Tree, who had incredibly high stats, could react quickly, but hearing Flor say that, she also beca curious. "Let's see~."
[Analyzing Summon. Natural Protection is bypassed by the extra authority as its summoner. The Summon has a natural accessory equipped. Do you want to see its stats?]
"Sure, let's see the accessory as well!"
Flor blinked. 'Accessory? It cos with an accessory?'

Note: As a pure descendent of an incredibly strong creature, the has an innate scale Accessory covering it that evolves with their Level and Tier. It also adapts depending on the innate qualities of the creature.
After Liu Shu read it aloud, Flor's mouth fell open. "What kind of skill is that? Negating 30% of damage? Also, the attributes it gives are insane!"
Liu Shu looked at her branch attributes and realized that the were actually better. "Wow~ Strong!"
The heard Liu Shu's praise and smiled smugly, his tail tip wagging back and forth as his wings fluttered.
Flor looked at the serpent and felt bubbling laughter. 'Even though it has a snake face, it is quite expressive. Cute.'
Liu Shu felt excited and looked at the Stat page while feeding him the refinent berries. After all, since he was her summon, she needed to feed him with nice things. The effects were instantaneous, increasing his Physique Refinent and the rest by 5 points.
The , who was not expecting much when he ca down, went wide eyed as he looked at his own stats increasing by a good chunk.
Flor's eyebrow twitched as she saw the serpent's attitude change. He started acting cute and coiling around Liu Shu with glittering green eyes, clearly communicating his loyalty.
She smirked, laughing softly. 'Tsk, tsk. Greedy thing. You were bought so easily.'

Flor listened in silence as Liu Shu seemingly spoke in another language, saying so barbarities that she didn't believe were true.
Looking down at the large creature, Flor's face beca serious. "Liu Shu, how much Anima is it consuming? Like, can you maintain it?"
The World Tree, who was playing with the Arboreal Winged Serpent using her branches, paused and looked at her Anima energy. "Hm… One summon consus… Ah. Hmph, why are you so expensive to maintain?"
When the happy winged serpent was smacked on the head, he looked around confused, not understanding why their happy bond was suddenly ostracized. 'What did I do!?'
Liu Shu scolded. "Eat a bit less! You are consuming 1500 Anima Energy Per Hour!"
Liu Shu's current regeneration was 3,308 per hour, so consuming half of that was very costly. By stopping her berry production, she would be able to maintain just two of them.
The Winged Serpent was speechless, thinking to himself. 'I am pretty strong, and I am not even asking for much! I think you are actually getting a bargain!'
Flor was stunned. After all, if she were the summoner, forget about maintaining more than one; she would be dry in just a few hours with just the one before her eyes. Rember that Flor had around 35,000 Anima Energy Shards, and her regeneration didn't even reach 200 shards per hour.
Knowing that he consud so much energy, Liu Shu decided to send him back. There weren't any threats around, so besides consuming Anima Energy, the did nothing.
The serpent looked at Liu Shu one last ti as his body dematerialized in green particles. Flor could clearly see that there was a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
"Liu Shu," Flor comnted. "Its Experience Points were just 1 point away, right? Why do you think that is?"
The World Tree realized as well and pondered. "I don't know…"
"Do you think that the powerful entity sent that child to make a contract because of the Level limits?" Flor asked, feeling that her thoughts were correct. "Then, after the contract is fulfilled, the serpent can Level up as he pleases. As long as it isn't far from your current level, it won't beco a burden to maintain it."
Liu Shu exclaid. "Ohh! That's very possible!"
Flor laughed. "So, ti to Level up now? You have just enough to reach Level 12, right?"
The World Tree agreed. "Yes! Also, Flor, try to start gathering these materials as well. I will need them for my mission!"
After noting them down, the World Tree's energy began surging as her Experience Points flowed toward her level.
Ignatia would arrive only a few days later, completely changed.
The day she arrived, Flor welcod her with a smile that froze after a while. She blinked twice, not believing what she was seeing and feeling. "Ignatia?"
The seductive and mature Ant Queen smirked and approached the Rose Fairy Queen, hugging her into her ample bosom. "I am back, Flor~."
Flor, who was going to brag about her Tier-up, couldn't close her mouth. "You… How?"
Ignatia laughed. "Well, thanks to Liu Shu, my Quest Rewards were boosted~. I am quite lucky. Hahaha. Do you want to see the completion ssage?"
Flor nodded. She needed to know what Ignatia had gained.
The ssages were as such:

Flor blinked several tis, feeling that lately, her heart was doing too many jumps. 'I'll die early at this pace.'
