Of course, their positions are randomized too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are we going to look for them now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De replied offhandedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the trees within the labyrinth—dry, grotesque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their lifeless state, as a forest warden, it annoyed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he no longer needed to manually apply nutrient solution—a crude method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply switching the [Child of Nature]’s natural phase to “Sprout State” would nourish the trees, even yielding better results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley didn’t know why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the surrounding trees felt gentler to her—no longer so cold and malevolent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued: “Though each relic’s location presents some challenge, overall they’re quite simple—I could easily retrieve any one alone.

All clean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley didn’t rise immediately. She lifted her gaze, gazing at Luo De with a hint of seduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her lovely features bloomed into a warm, gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this? Do we need to say that between us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley feigned indifference, playfully patting his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rose slowly, expression calm, not even glancing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even offer to hold his hand again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chin lifted slightly, radiating smugness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Won!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at how he stared at my chest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at how he stumbled over his words!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who says you can't learn real tricks from shoujo romance manga!?
