Chapter 332 Maple Flame - Afternoon Tea - Love and Responsibility

In less than a year, Maple Syrup, who was already in the top three of the rankings, dragged all three of her daughters into the top 100 of the rankings. Their combat abilities are also remarkable. Even the "weakest" Maple Burn is now first-rate in terms of survival and dodging skills.

Those oak owls who had previously left Maple Sugar wanted to come back, and many people wanted to join Maple Sugar's team. Coincidentally, Maple Sugar obtained a Legion Order, so she simply created another Legion, which she named "Afternoon Tea".

She immediately added the three sisters to the legion, and Maple Syrup accepted all of Oak Owl's applications, even those of her own kind who had previously insulted her, she accepted their return.

However, every time an Oak Owl joins the legion, Maple Syrup will notify the other party that Maple Flame's resurrection skill will not be used on any Oak Owl other than Maple Syrup.

Nevertheless, the allure of maple syrup continues to attract oak hawks.

When the family of four sat down for dinner that evening, Feng Cang asked curiously, "Aren't you angry with them? They ruined your reputation outside, saying you were heartless, cold-blooded, and unfit to be a leader."

Maple Leaf ate her meal with a normal expression, while Yu Xunge immediately adjusted her expression, looking at Maple Syrup with a bewildered yet curious expression.

Maple Syrup patiently taught her daughter: "No one would want to get close to an oak owl who is vindictive, petty, and narrow-minded. Sometimes, the more unwilling you are to suffer losses, the more you end up losing. I can't do nothing and give nothing and expect other oak owls to trust me just because of my strength. That would be too arrogant and would only make them wary of me."

She smiled and put a piece of green chili pepper, which she hated the most, on Feng Cang's plate: "Right now I need them, so I can only give them sweet food. But when I have all the power, I will give them spicy food, and even if they don't like it, they will have to swallow it with a smile."

After saying that, she turned her chopsticks and put the green chili pepper into Feng Ran's bowl. Little Oak Owl loved to eat this: "Did you understand?"

Yu Xunge understood, of course. That's what she did on Blue Star, but her purpose was more for self-preservation. She nodded: "Understood! If you want to reap the harvest, you have to water and fertilize it first. Once it grows and bears the fruit we want, then we can prune the branches we don't like."

Maple Syrup smiled and patted Feng Ran's head: "I knew Feng Ran was smart, he just likes to keep a low profile."

Feng Mu, sitting opposite Feng Ran, rolled her eyes.

Yu Xunge immediately pointed at Feng Mu and complained, "Mother! She rolled her eyes at me!"

Maple Syrup said, "Then you should flip her over too."

Yu Xunge wanted to, but Feng Cang once said in the book: "Feng Mu always makes Feng Ran angry, but Feng Ran doesn't dare to fight back. When I was little, I thought Feng Mu didn't like her sister, but when I grew up, I realized that Feng Mu just liked Feng Ran too much. She must also like to see Feng Ran sulking because it's really cute."

Feng Mu smiled, looking at Feng Ran expectantly, waiting for her to roll her eyes.

Between anger and frustration, Yu Xunge ultimately chose to maintain her persona—she was frustrated.

Alright, you're impressive! As the eldest son of the family, you'll never be inferior to other owls, your name is destined to enter the Hall of Owls, and your name will have its own page in the Owl Register!!

She took a deep breath, ignored Feng Mu, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.

Maple Syrup and Maple Green both burst out laughing.

After the legion was established, Maple Sugar's power grew bigger and bigger. Compared with other legion leaders, although Maple Sugar's management was very strict, she was very generous. She was not the kind of leader who would eat the meat herself and not let others drink the soup.

Maple Syrup's "Afternoon Tea" quickly rivaled Pine Rose's "Rose Grove" and Peach Crown's "Crown," and the three legions combined gathered 50% of Senhai's resources and talent.

Maple Leaf has also risen rapidly, and its reputation in Afternoon Tea is second only to Maple Syrup.

Maple Clover isn't invincible like Maple Syrup, but her combat talent is indeed as outstanding as described in the book.

Yu Xunge secretly compared them and concluded that Feng Mu was now roughly 40% of her and 60% of her.

This is not Yu Xunge boasting. This comparison is precisely to marvel at Feng Mu's talent. You must know that Yu Xunge has been in the tower for almost three hundred years. Even if you deduct the time she spent on cooking and alchemy, she has spent at least seventy years training on the battlefield!

But what about Maple Clover—if the other party really is Maple Clover—how old is she this year? How long has she been fighting?

Moreover, she is a qualified leader in every aspect.

No matter the instance or the battle, she fights to the last moment, and in times of crisis, she is always the last to retreat.

She may not be as dazzling and outstanding as Maple Syrup, like the brightest star in the forest, but she is like Maple Syrup in every way, and her every word and action is a reflection of Maple Syrup.

Yu Xunge, who eats with Fengmu every day, discovers that Fengmu's life goal doesn't seem to be to achieve great things, but rather to not embarrass Fengtang. The following and admiration of Xiangxiao is not as good as a word of praise from Fengtang.

Maple Syrup's ideal is her ideal; whatever Maple Syrup wants, she will change all plans and get it for Maple Syrup as soon as possible; if Maple Syrup wants to kill Oak Owl, even if Maple Clover was fighting alongside him yesterday, she will not hesitate to eliminate him.

At the Hazelnut Festival in Ruincole 7196, Maple Syrup and her friends nestled in their cabin.

After finishing her meal, she took out nine dominoes that Yu Xunge was extremely familiar with, including the "circle" dominoes. However, unlike the dominoes in her hand, the "circle" dominoes now had fish tails on them instead of acorns.

Maple Syrup not only told her three daughters what these dominoes were, what their function and characteristics were, but also said that she would soon be going to the world battlefield, but she was not sure if she would be able to return.

She took out three 30-slot game backpacks made of maple clover and began to take out equipment, items, and coins one by one, explaining each item as she took them out, and then putting them into the backpacks one by one.

"These are the accumulations of my years of love for you as a mother. I share them equally with you, regardless of whether you are exceptionally talented, whether you are brave, gentle, or only loyal to your family, and whether your personalities are like mine. I love you all."

After saying that, she pushed the three backpacks in front of Feng Mu, Feng Cang, and Feng Ran respectively, and then she continued:

"As for the 'Afternoon Tea,' it is my responsibility as the leader of the Maple lineage. I can only entrust it to my daughter, Feng Cang, and Feng Ran, who are most suitable to be the leader. Can you understand my good intentions? I promise that this is the first and last time I will show favoritism."

"If I don't come back, the afternoon tea will be left to Maple."

Feng Cang and Yu Xunge had no objections. The former was gentle by nature and had little interest in power. Of course, this did not mean she was not smart. In the "Afternoon Tea" event, she was more like a strategist and a research talent. As long as Maple Sugar could find the materials, she could make jewelry according to Maple Sugar's needs.

As for Yu Xunge, she spent most of her time as a support, following Feng Mu around to farm dungeons and go to the battlefield. Moreover, she naturally disliked intrigue and management.
