Reiner and Lelith followed the two night elves to the night forest outside the city.

The outermost Night Shadow Trees have withered and their purple leaves have begun to turn yellow.

It had only been three or four days since Reiner had treated the dryad, yet such a terrible impact had occurred in such a short period of time.

“Can these trees recover?”

Denela glanced at Reiner and began to accuse him directly, "It's all your fault. You caused the Dryad Forest to grow nearly two meters in height. If it had grown naturally, it would have taken at least five thousand years, and it wouldn't have died so quickly."

Reiner shrugged. "My mother-in-law invited me to help, so there's no reason not to. At first, I thought she was just here to catch a thief. Who knew?"

If he knew about the night elves, he would definitely think about it for a while before helping.

After hearing what Reiner said, Daenerys said angrily: "She is not some little thief! She is the leader of our night elves, Liannas!"

Seeing how angry she was, Reiner felt a surge of rebelliousness. He pretended to be a parrot, repeating over and over again: "Who knows this? Who knows this? Who knows this..."

Daenerys' face flushed with anger. She stammered incoherently, "You...you! Humans really aren't good people! Just like the day elves, they're all bastards!"

She wanted to punch Reiner, but when she saw Lalith behind her, she decisively gave up the idea and could only glare at Reiner with anger.

"I'm here to help, not to argue. Since you say so, then I'll leave?" Reiner suddenly stopped.

Deniera kept her mouth shut, having lost her temper due to Reiner's actions.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I was wrong."

"Really? You seem so arrogant, but how can you ask for favors like this?"

"You...don't go too far!" Deniera pounced towards Reiner with her fangs bared, but Reiner dodged nimbly.

"You still want to hit me? Okay, I'm leaving. Bye." Reiner turned and flew away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Daniela hurriedly chased after him and began to loudly admit her mistakes: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I was wrong, Reiner, don't go!"

After looking at her for a while, Reiner turned his head and looked at Denela with a smile.

Although her momentum remained undiminished, she was so angry that she dared not say a word after being treated like that by Reiner.

Luminilla stood obediently aside and continued to answer Reiner's question, "As long as they can get enough moonlight, these moon shadow trees will soon recover. They can still survive in this state for a long time."

"Understood. Continue leading the way."

The four continued to fly deeper into the woods.

Luminilla took Reiner to a place where the Nightshade trees were very dense and pushed a small cart out from behind the trees.

The car was piled high with lavender leaves, which looked like they had been picked last night.

Luminilla walked up to Reiner and said respectfully, "Reiner, please help me turn these Night Shadow Leaves into Moon Fat. Thank you for your help."

Reiner glanced at Denela and saw that she was sitting on the moonstone to rest.

She continued to jeer: "Hmph, don't work yourself to death!"

If Reiner didn't have much dark power, he might get angry after hearing what she said.

But since the dark energy in Reiner's body awakened, except for the time when he was fighting with Barnett to seal the slaves with indentures, he has hardly used it. The total amount is frighteningly huge, so he is too lazy to bother with her and will just give her a good slap in the face later.

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
