Chương 328: Sylvans Gather In Liu Shu's [Core Room].

Liu Shu was looking with an amused feeling as the four Sylvans stood at the base of her trunk, wearing gorgeous clothes and accessories. After Verdantia caught Cinderielle, she basically ripped most of what happened out of Cinderielle's mouth. Naturally, the Fire Sylvan left many details out without hiding everything. Verdantia, Tempestria, and Harmonixia were all feeling extremely bitter in their hearts after they learned some of the details.

Now, standing at the base a day later, they couldn't help but gnash their teeth when looking at the smug Cinderielle.

'This Fire Sylvan always looked like the one least eager to push for progress in the relationship with her… Tsk! She was playing the pig to eat the tiger later! Devious woman!' Even Tempestria, the usually calm and collected woman, had a faint scowl on her face.

"I am roping all of you up. Grab my branches." Hearing the ethereal voice of the World Tree, they all snapped out of it and straightened their backs. Once the branches were in front of them, they extended their arms and grabbed onto them. To make sure that they didn't fall, Liu Shu coiled around their figures with the thin but long willow branches. After lifting them up, she placed the four of them right in front of the entrance. Harmonixia looked up and gulped.

Right above, she could see the lower part of Liu Shu's breasts, which was mouthwateringly voluminous and shapely. Verdantia scolded with a rather cold voice.

"Heh, Harmonixia. Can you stop leering, you pervert? You are the only one left dangling from the branch!" The violet and blue-haired Sylvan blinked and smiled.

"Hehe~, I was mesmerized by my Lian'er's beauty~." When she landed, Verdantia snorted at her.

"Your Lian'er? Heh. Delusional as always." Harmonixia replied smugly.

"Lian'er loves my music and my wide hips. Can you compete?" Verdantia puffed her large chest.

"What did you say? Your lack of tits is making it hard to hear you!" Both of them felt their veins bulge on their foreheads, but before they could start a rather ruthless fistfight, Tempestria stopped them.

"If you want to be left behind and have a fight here, you are welcome. I wonder how your pretty dresses will fare after your fight?" They paused, and after giving a death glare, they walked behind Cinderielle and Tempestria. Tempestria's mind flashed with an essential question after feeling calmer from yesterday's agitation. With so many things happening, she forgot to ask it. She didn't hold it back and blurted it out.

"Why did you even tell us about it, Cinder? You could've acted stupid, and we would've never discovered this place. Not in a million years would we have tried to barge here without Liu Shu's invitation." Cinderielle answered with a smile.

"You'll realize after we reach the end. It's not that I don't want to keep it for myself. If it weren't for this special thing, I never would've spoken about Liu Shu's <Avatar> creation even if you beat me to death." Her smile turned slightly cold.

"While we are friends, we are also competitors. I am not stupid enough to lose my advantages." Tempestria, Verdantia, and Harmonixia looked at her with deep gazes. Of all of them, Cinderielle was the one with the most common background. She came from a pair of normal, hard-working parents, and her accomplishments until today were fully her own. In truth, the other three admired her. She never complained, she always worked hard, and she didn't resent them even when they used their backgrounds.

That's why, while all of them had a bone to pick with each other, Cinderielle was perhaps the Sylvan they respected the most collectively. Now that she was saying this, their curiosity had peaked, increasing their pace. It didn't take long before they arrived at the end of the tunnel. Cinderielle looked at the Petal Door and turned around to look at the other three. Her gaze was sharp as she observed them.

'Do the three of them see it? If one of them doesn't…' A slight hint of killing intent was born in her heart. She was ready to share Liu Shu with everyone who was predestined in this peculiar and mysterious door. However, any creature outside of it was an enemy she would kill without a hint of hesitation. Her love was too possessive and too selfish to share it with more people than necessary. However, a few moments later, she relaxed.

'It seems that they can all see it. Their eyes are scanning the petals and imagery, something impossible to replicate without knowing about it.' Of the things she had told them, she kept any information about the Petal Door to herself and any detail related to it. Verdantia spoke in a serious tone, looking at Cinderielle.

"This door with drawings is the reason? I can see that the petal related to fire is lit up, but not entirely." Cinderielle looked at the other two and then nodded, confirming their suspicions.

"Yes. If your attributes as a Sylvan hadn't shown on this door, I would have never shared what I've shared with you." The girls looked at the Fire Sylvan deeply. Harmonixia walked forward and asked, approaching the door.

"So… To mark myself here, what do I have to do?" Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"Guess." Cinderielle smiled faintly.

"If you can't even do that, what's the use of me carrying you here? I managed to do it alone. You three together should be able to decipher it quickly." Liu Shu suddenly spoke, breaking the tension.

"Cinderielle was a pervert that didn't stop even when I told her! Hmph." Cinderielle's serious expression cracked as the three Sylvans threw murderous glares her way. The Fire Sylvan coughed.

"I'll go inside in the mean-" Tempestria stopped her by placing her hand on her shoulder.

"No, you won't." Tempestria's smiling expression made Cinderielle feel a threatening presence.

"O-Okay, I'll wait here then." Knowing what to do was instinctive, and they didn't take long before they deciphered that they needed to pour their energies inside the door. Liu Shu was then tested by the energy pouring of the three Sylvans, making her entire body feel electrocuted as their pleasant energies entering one of her most sensitive parts.

"Ugh. Why does it feel like this? It's so nice but stifling. As if I am about to sneeze but unable to do so!" As they did so, three System messages appeared in her vision. [Congratulations! You've fulfilled one of the conditions to unlock a <Hidden Title>. Effects won't be displayed, but the name will be revealed. <Hidden Title: Sprouts Of Chaos>.] [Congratulations! You've fulfilled one of the conditions to unlock a <Hidden Title>. Effects won't be displayed, but the name will be revealed. <Hidden Title: Tempest Of Chaos>.] [Congratulations! You've fulfilled one of the conditions to unlock a <Hidden Title>. Effects won't be displayed, but the name will be revealed. <Hidden Title: Songs Of Chaos>.] Looking at the three messages, she was quite surprised.

'Huh? Does everyone who touches that door unlock a hidden title?' Her mind was confused since she didn't know about the existence of the Petal Door. Hence, for Liu Shu, these unlocks came from the fact that the Sylvans poured energy into her, more than pouring energy into that particular door. Meanwhile, the four Sylvans were looking at the petals with frowns on their faces. Well, Cinderielle had a smug face.

"Oho~, you three are so mediocre. Heh." Verdantia snorted.

"Hey, don't be so cocky! I am at seventy-two percent completion. Quite near you!" Tempestria sighed and muttered.

"Only sixty-five percent… I wonder what these mean?" Meanwhile, Harmonixia was blinking with a confused expression.

"Why am I the one with the lowest percentage? Sixty percent… It feels like too little, no? Regardless of what this represents, I feel that I deserve more!" Verdantia looked at Harmonixia, and when the Sound Sylvan turned to look, the Life Sylvan's face became exaggeratedly smug.

"Loser." Harmonixia barely held herself back from slapping her face. Before things escalated, the door rolled to the side and opened, revealing the <Core Room>. The three Sylvans looked inside with curious faces while Cinderielle directly jumped inside.

"Tiantian~, I am back!" The other three Sylvan froze, remembering what Cinderielle told them.

'Inside this place lays a very precious part of Liu Shu.' Taking into account the location, they understood in which part of Liu Shu the <Core Room> manifested. However, the words Cinderielle said were much too ambiguous. If she hadn't promised to carry them here, they would've probably kept Cinderielle back for another day of interrogation, at the very least! They walked inside and saw that there was someone else other than Cinderielle.

"Huh?" Cinderielle ignored the other three, and her eyes shone with love and care. In front of her, she could see a staggering Liu Shu. It was clear that during the last day, she had been trying to learn how to walk. Of course, she was far from getting the gist of it and kept losing balance. For now, she could take two steps before falling down. Still, when she saw Cinderielle, she was able to brag.

"Look, Cinderielle! I am able to stand and walk a bit! Aren't I a fast learner!?" The voice made the other three be stricken down with pure shock, freezing them where they stood. While Cinderielle was hiding the person with her frame, they could clearly decipher the voice of the being they loved the most. Cinderielle looked at Liu Shu tenderly and hugged her closely.

"I can see it, Tiantian. You are the most talented in the world." Liu Shu looked up from the hug and smiled widely.

"Hehehe. Isn't that right? I am the best, after all!"

"Y-You…" Liu Shu heard the voices of the other three Sylvans and leaned sideways. Now that Cinderielle supported her, she had no fear of falling down. With that movement, she was able to poke her head out, letting her gorgeous and shiny dark jade hair flow down like a waterfall. Her large and beautiful amethyst-like eyes radiated an innocent and sweet glow, making one have protective feelings sprout in their hearts.

Then, the gentle, mature, but also slightly childish facial features were a combination that, together with everything else, could ensnare anyone.

"Ohh!" Liu Shu smiled widely and sweetly.

"Hello~, Tempestria, Verdantia, Harmonixia!" Tempestria's face flushed as the cuteness of the little girl in front of her had reached levels she had deemed impossible in the past. Meanwhile, Verdantia had passed out with blood flowing out of her nose, KOed by Liu Shu's beauty. Finally, Harmonixia was scribbling down things as inspiration for songs praising Liu Shu's beauty flashed in her mind one after another. Cinderielle looked at them and smirked.

'The more they take to react, the more time alone I'll have with Tiantian.' So, she sat down, ignoring the three short-circuited Sylvans, and hugged Liu Shu tightly, giving her a big kiss on her face.

"How was yesterday? Did you miss me, Tiantian?" Liu Shu was still naked, so her body warmth transmitted through the clothes into Cinderielle's body. Still, she was much more able to control her arousal compared to the first time she came here. Being tightly hugged was a sensation Liu Shu was very foreign to. The closest thing was the Arobreal Winged Serpents hugging her body to cover her.

Still, the sensation of having her fleshy body hugged by Cinderielle was so intimate, and it made her heart beat slightly faster. She relished in it and leaned deeply into Cinderielle's arms, rubbing her face against her chest like a lazy cat.

"Yes~. I missed you, Cinderielle!" Cinderielle laughed gently and looked down at the petite woman in her arms.

'Sigh… She is so cute and beautiful. I feel that my love for her is just endlessly growing.'
