Tempestria, Harmonixia, and Verdantia were sitting on a plot of land near their Tree House Daughters. The three of them were chatting with each other with their children nearby. In the middle of the table, Harmonixia’s flower daughter was gently swaying in the gentle breeze. Her petals have already blood into a gorgeous purple and neon blue. At nightti, the illumination would change, emitting a peaceful, purple glow.
Verdantia looked at the 30-centiter-tall flower with so fascination. “Harmonixia, I know I’ve said it often, but this child is truly beautiful. Look at how perfect the edges of her petals are. If she could transform into a humanoid form, she would be a beauty no worse than that of a Poppy species.”
“Hey!” Harmonixia frowned. “Can you not compare my baby daughter with those dangerous flowers? A Poppy is beautiful, but one might get their soul stolen if they are not careful.”
Tempestria chuckled after she took a sip of tea. “Isn’t that high praise? Not many can say they have a beauty similar to a Sylvan with Poppy Flower lineage.”
“Right.” Harmonixia rolled her eyes. “And not many can co close to the number of people that fall prey to the addiction their bodies can cause. Around eighty percent of the people dying during intercourse are related to Poppy Lineage Sylvans!”
Verdantia smiled a bit. “It’s not their fault. Information about them is available everywhere, and even they themselves warn about the risks. Only, so people are just too greedy for beauty and end up falling under their skirts with smiles on their faces. This is quite traumatic for so of the Poppy Sylvans.”
Tempestria added. “Thankfully, it seems that after Liu Shu’s auras increased everyone’s attributes, the number of deaths due to them has plumted. Now, it only happens when soone with a low level interacts with a high-level Poppy Sylvan.”
Harmonixia sighed. “The fact that so people throw themselves into their arms even knowing the consequences is quite… befuddling.”
Poppy Sylvans produced addictive substances through their bodily fluids and scent. Usually, they wore long dresses specially tailored for them so that they could live among other people. It was not rare for innately venomous, poisonous, or narcotic Sylvans to appear since plants were the kings of those substances. Poppy flowers were among the strongest ones, and it was known that having intercourse even just once with a Poppy Flower Sylvan could make whoever did it have addiction problems for life. aning, unless it was with them, they would feel nothing.
There was a ti when such Sylvans were almost hunted down, until everyone got to know that their personalities were actually quite opposite to their innate nature. It was as if nature was balancing their innate characteristics in order to allow them to survive.
Poppy Flowers were not only beautiful and dangerously addictive, but they were also extrely gentle and sweet personality-wise. An evil Poppy Flower Sylvan was as rare as a flying one like Tempestria.
In the entirety of the Golden Sap Country, there were around 1,000 Poppy Sylvans, with 800 of them living in Golden Sap City. Tempestria asked Verdantia. “Speaking of them, how do we deal when an accident like that happens?”
Verdantia shrugs. “What can we do? We punish them lightly but don’t record it in their resu. I an, they don’t do it on purpose. So, we can only punish them lightly. All of them always accept it with smiles on their faces or while crying and swearing to compensate the family of whoever they killed.”
Harmonixia sighed. “Beauty is truly a fatal attraction that pushes all of us to do unreasonable things.”
Cinderielle’s voice ca from a distance. “Tell about it.”
Verdantia blinked and smiled. “Oh, you are…” Her voice beca confused. “Back…?”
Tempestria and Harmonixia noticed the little darling in Cinderielle’s arms, and both of them smiled widely. Harmonixia comnted. “Oh? That’s the youngest baby? She looks so big already!”
Tempestria spoke softly. “She is adorable.” Then she joked. “Not less beautiful compared to a young Poppy Sylvan. Your child will be a true beauty when she grows, Cinderielle.”
Cinderielle saw Verdantia’s eyes shaking as she pointed at the child and sat down with a wry smile. “Yes, you are guessing correctly, Verdantia. She is of that species.”
“NO WAY!”
Her loud exclamation startled everyone around. Verena, lody, and other elders ca from a distance, looking sowhat worried since Verdantia’s voice carried so traces of fear.
“Love, what’s wrong?” Verena asked from a distance, but as she ca running and saw the child in Cinderielle’s arms, she tripped and fell face first.
Bang!
Not caring about that, she raised her face and pointed at Cinderielle’s arms. “C-Cinderielle! Where have you found that!? Throw it away, child! It is too dangerous!”
Cinderielle smiled awkwardly. “Um, Auntie Verena, she is my and Tiantian’s child.”
Verena’s face twisted, going through a myriad of emotions. ‘Is Liu Shu going to give birth to all dangerous variants of Alraunes!?’
When she saw that an Alraune had beco Verdantia’s child, she was sowhat worried, but she beca resolute in loving the child, regardless of her nature, and in teaching Dewna well.
Then ca a Farlune, which was bordering what was acceptable, but she persevered with the sa ntality. In the end, these were her grandchildren, so she was determined to take care of Eluan.
After that, almost scaring her to death, the Sylphaith appeared. Still, she forced herself to look at things optimistically. So, after a bit of ti, she could co to love Sylvia either way.
Now, the fourth child ca, and it was, to her horror, a Sanguine Blaze! She was about to have a nervous breakdown. ‘Even if she is my grandchild, there are limits!’
However, when Verena looked at that pair of big, red eyes looking at her curiously, her heart was hit hard. ‘Ah! Why is she so adorable!? I want to pamper and hug her regardless of the danger signals going off in my head!’
lody was quite experienced, so she knew a great deal about plant species. She looked at Pyara with fascination and muttered. “A Sanguine Blaze. This is my first ti seeing one in the flesh.”
Seeing the exaggerated reactions of everyone around them, Harmonixia turned to her mother and asked. “What’s wrong with this baby? She looks so cute and special. Look at her flaming hair! It’s such a fascinating trait…”
Verena stood up from the ground and patted her body to clear the dirt that stuck to her green dress. Then, she sighed and looked at Pyara with a complicated expression. “Well, a Sanguine Blaze is…” And she proceeded to explain to the other two.
When she was done, Tempestria and Harmonixia were looking at Pyara with horror and fascination. Tempestria muttered. “Her traits make Sylvia look like a little holy flower.”
Hearing her na, the mouthless, dark-haired little girl looked up with her unnaturally but adorably large eyes at her mother. Tempestria had co to find Sylvia’s eyes super expressive and lovely, so she hugged the child and kissed her face. “Is my pretty Sylvia having fun?”
The large eyes curved in happiness as the mouth in the middle of her stomach opened and licked Tempestria’s belly. “Hahaha~, my baby is so cute~.”
Verena looked at Tempestria with a complex expression, a mix of pride and confusion. “A mother’s love is truly strong.” She was glad that Tempestria could love her child regardless of her peculiarities, but she couldn’t help but find it strange that Tempestria found the strange and uncanny traits of Sylvia genuinely cute.
‘I an, if you don’t take those two things into account, she is truly adorable. Still, once they are revealed, they can truly take soone aback.’
Verena was not one to judge, since she married a vine plant. All these thoughts were taking into account normal human aesthetics.
lody spoke to Cinderielle at this ti. Her tone was sowhat concerned as she took a wooden chair and sat down with the four girls. “So… Is little Liu Shu okay? Giving birth to a Sanguine Blaze is not easy.”
The other three paid attention, and Cinderielle smiled. “Yes. She is perfectly fine. It wasn’t easy, of course. She even told that the birth almost…” She paused when she noticed Dewna, Eluan, and Sylvia looking at her. Then, she changed her wording. “Well, almost dealt a big blow to her Avatar. Now, she is stronger than ever and healthy.”
“You took a while to return, though,” Tempestria comnted with a pointy gaze. The Fire Sylvan scratched her cheek and coughed. “It has been a while since we saw each other, so we took our ti.”
Harmonixia snorted. “So you…” Looking at the children, she also changed her wording. “Mixed with her.”
At this ti, Dewna, at the side, bounced over with her lower body half and pulled Harmonixia’s sleeve. “Aunt Harmonixia, what is mixing around? Is it fun?”
Dewna was approaching six years of age, so she had gained enough intelligence to recognize and learn basic speech. Even if, as an Alraune, her intelligence was more limited than that of Intelligent Species, she was not too far behind.
“Um.” Harmonixia showed a complicated expression, and she picked up the young child. She was already quite big, so she completely filled Harmonixia’s arms, even when the Sylvan was quite tall. “Do you want so honey tea? It is your favorite, right, Dewna?”
Dewna’s pretty face lit up and she smiled like a flower. “Yes! Honey tea is so yummy!”
Having dodged a bullet and Verdantia’s death gaze, Harmonixia gave the child one cup of it. After Dewna grabbed the tea, she used one of her hands to raise the yellow pretty skirt, which hid her lower half, and poured the cup into her flower.
The dense, honey-like substance around her legs easily absorbed the tea, and Dewna showed a look of enjoynt. “So sweet~.”
The others smiled faintly, and the conversation finally regained a much calr rhythm. Looking at Pyara again, the others sighed and looked at Cinderielle. “What’s your future plans for her? You know that it will be impossible for her to grow normally.”
Cinderielle shrugged. “What’s wrong with that? I’ll slowly teach her to control her urges and make sure that, if in the future she finds soone, we have made enough preparations and warned that person.”
Harmonixia was a bit indifferent in this aspect and comnted. “I an, if soone wants to fall prey to Pyara, what’s wrong with that? It is them who weren’t clever enough to avoid her. Of course, we will have to judge the other side’s sincerity. But if it is a woman or a man trying to have so fun… Heh.” Harmonixia showed a cold smile. “It’s their fault for trying to ss with the wrong plant.”
Their children were not too bright due to the limitations of their species. Therefore, they knew that they would be easy to flirt with or even deceive. Therefore, they expected a lot from their future sons-in-law or daughters-in-law.
