Divine Tree (3) - Edited

Lila was so delighted as she swam because her body feels light and she can easily flow the spirit essence inside her body. It works faster than she was outside and after several minutes swimming, she stopped at the shallow part of the islet and continued consolidating her cultivation.

She tried to drive her spirit essence and she's satisfied with how stable her cultivation is right now. If earlier, her spirit energy gets easily drained and still shaky but right now after she dipped her body onto the water for a few hours. Her spirit energy was calm and she can easily utilize it more without draining it faster.

Mikael just sat down beside the tree not too far away from Lila as she consolidated her cultivation. He was not impatient and allowed her to consolidate it up until it was stable. He also absorb the spirit essence around him since under the Divine tree, it was more thick and rich

After Lila finished and verified that it's already stable, she stopped and followed Mikael to where he was sitting. Looking closely, the tree has red fiery leaves that look like burning. It looks so healthy and it has two dark red fruits hanging on one on its small branches.

"It has two fruits? As what I read and you said, it's supposed to be only one?" Lila was puzzled.

"It's the centennial Red Pear Divine tree. Legends say that once every century, a Divine tree will grow and bear two fruits. Unlike the regular Red Pear Divine tree that will grow a couple of trees in different locations but this one will only grow one tree every century. It is one of a kind."

"We are so lucky then!" Lila's eyes twinkled when she heard Mikael's explanation. Mikael stood up and stood beside Lila.

"Yeah, we are so lucky because the fruit of the Centennial Red Pear Divine tree will not only advance your spirit power and magic. It will also help your soul to be a lot stronger so you can fight witches who wield black magic. As you know, black magic wielders attack more on souls." Mikael added.

"Black magic wielder." Lila said under her breath. As she can remember in her favorite book she read, the villain who is the Prime Minister had a helper who used black magic and the one who cursed the strange prince.

If this fruit can help me enhance my soul cultivation, it will do me good, so in the future I can help my strange Prince kill that witch and stop her curse!

I believe this time around, the strange Prince was on its way to a dangerous place where he was almost killed by an assassin and was saved by his butler. I remember, he had to recuperate for several days before he got the magical sword that he always used in every battle after he got it, it helped him slay stronger opponents.

I wonder where that magical place is?

If only Lila knew that the strange Prince that she's been thinking of was with her all the time talking to her and bugging her sometimes. With her being transported in this current realm, it changes a lot of the story contents.

The Prince was supposed to be healing at this moment because of the ambush that was done a couple of days ago. He was not supposed to meet and fight the One-Horned Demon Bear beast and find the Centennial Red Pear Divine tree.

As the story goes, after he was healed, the One-Horned Demon Bear beast already harvested the fruits and left the place before Mikael arrived and got the magical sword that he's looking for.

That's why the fight with the One-Horned Demon Bear beast and the Centennial Red Pear Divine fruit was not included in the story when Lila was still in her previous world.

-------------------------------------------------

Two days ago before Lila and Mikael encountered the beast, at the Imperial Palace of Highland.

A black cloaked man was standing in front of a Lady who's sitting at the highest seat in the hall.

She's sitting at her gold throne with lots of shining gems and crystals. She wore a sexy dress, complementing her curvy curves, her big breast was like going to burst outside of her dress. Jade-like skin, so radiant and smooth.

Though her age was already more than a thousand years old, she maintained her youthful face and body.

Her outer appearance looks so friendly, good natured lady and always smiling but inside she had the venomous heart who kills without hesitation.

"You said that she's back?" she lazily said, uninterested.

"You're right. My crystal ball who always keeps track of her aura suddenly lightened up after a thousand years. It only lightened up quickly before it vanished, that's why I was not able to locate her whereabouts."

"What about him?"

Feeling her gaze, he answered, "I've been looking into it since 16 years ago when I felt his aura. However, after sometime, I was still not able to pinpoint his location as it felt like something was stopping me to find him. I believe I already told you about it."

"Gabur, you know how important it is for me to find him. He is the only man who can fulfill the position of an Emperor. Together with me, we can make Highland prosper and as I promised, once we catch her and get her magic power. You will be relieved of your restraint and I will help you conquer the Middleland and Lowerland and let you be the only Lord on those lands."
