Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis hadn't expected that things would turn out this way. He had just expected Narcissus and Meadow to get to know each other more. After all, they were fellow plants.

He hadn't expected that they would just directly mate and have children.

Most of the humans in the Myriad Sect were confused, but the beasts explained to the humans what had happened.

After that, the humans nodded in understanding.

So it was just sex.

Okay.

Narcissus let Meadow go again, and her roots slowly moved around in the underground.

"If you're hogging the entire seat, let me at least sit on your lap," she said in a quiet voice with a bit of annoyance.

Gravis was surprised when he heard Meadow's voice.

Was this still the Meadow he knew?

She almost sounded like an innocent maiden that talked cutely to her boyfriend.

Meadow's roots slowly curled around Narcissus' roots, and in the end, both of them shared the underground of the Myriad Sect. The territories weren't split 50/50, but the two of them shared the space.

Narcissus didn't answer Meadow, and he only kept his roots steady so that she could curl around him.

He was full-on acting like the typical, strong, stoic boyfriend.

"Give them some time for themselves," Azure said to Gravis and Manuel. "We can put the plan into motion when Meadow's settled in."

Manuel nodded with a peaceful smile. "To think that we would get our own forest full of plants that can Cultivate. In the future, these plants will help us immensely. We can lead them to our Law Comprehension Areas, and they will eventually be willing to trade for their fruits."

Gravis nodded. "This is a very good thing for everyone. Meadow and Narcissus benefit, and we benefit."

When Mortis had seen Meadow and Narcissus interact with each other, he involuntarily got reminded of his time with Joyce.

Why?

Because Meadow and Narcissus had also battled each other, but they had eventually also gotten together.
