"Oh, lookie here. Look who's come out of his cave to join the family," Meadow said as Gravis walked closer to her and Narcissus.

At the moment, Meadow and Narcissus were staying under the Heavenly Divine Sect. The Core Plant had allowed them to stay here for the time being, but it had also made clear that it wouldn't give up its spot. At some point, the two of them would have to leave.

Of course, Meadow and Narcissus had planned that anyway. Plants on that level didn't need to fight anymore. After all, plants didn't have Will-Auras. The only things they needed were Laws and some combat experience.

There was no reason to fight the Core Plant of the Heavenly Divine Sect over its spot. They could literally go anywhere else.

Surprisingly, Gravis didn't clap back at Meadow. Instead, he only looked at her with concern. "Is everything alright with you two? A lot of our friends have died."

"Aw, look! He's worried about us. How cute," Meadow answered with a ridiculing sneer. "What? You think that I'm some baby that can't handle some death? Death is normal. So what if some people died?"

Gravis also looked at Narcissus, who didn't answer.

When Gravis saw their Law fragments, he realized once again that plants were very different from humans and beasts.

Meadow said she didn't care about the death of so many of their friends.

Was that the truth?

Yes, it was the truth.

Plants were mostly devoid of empathy. Yes, Meadow had enjoyed being around everyone, but that joy had no added feelings of companionship or closeness.

Having someone close to Meadow die wasn't much different from just saying goodbye to a person she had met on a trip. She had enjoyed their company, and they had laughed a lot, but after the person left, she wouldn't drop into grief.

It was just normal.

Hello and goodbye.

Sure, she couldn't have more fun with the dead person anymore, but that wasn't so bad. It sucked to some degree, but it wasn't hard to accept the change.

That also wouldn't change if Narcissus died. Meadow and Narcissus simply stayed together since they were useful to each other. They would both fight together, which meant that they both were safer than if they were alone.

Having children? It was just a fun side-activity.

When they both reached the Peak Divine God Realm, they would also split up. After all, it wouldn't make much sense to stay together after that.

This cold feeling of uncaring apathy would turn away many people, but that was just how plants were.

They loved having fun, but they would never bond with anyone.

It was simply impossible for them.

Gravis knew that, but he still enjoyed being in Meadow's company. He knew that Meadow had no close connection to him from her side, but that wasn't actually important. Gravis had chosen to have her as his friend.
