Chapter 109
===================
"No, sorry!" Ian apologized with a bitter face, "I really don't know!"
He even specifically asked his grandfather, since human nobles clearly had such habits, why had they changed so much?
He still messed it up.
Lian Yun looked at his tearful expression and couldn't help but laugh. He patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. You mean well. But the human race is no longer what it used to be."
"All races are progressing. Those bad customs from the past should have been discarded long ago."
It’s a pity that the mainland has missed this opportunity perfectly in recent years.
Because of the rule of the second Son of God, the main city and its subsidiary cities were undoubtedly decadent and chaotic when the Son of God was alive. The scope of enjoyment spread to all parts of the continent. Except for clearing the fields during wars, no one paid attention to the fields and monsters.
Self-preservation and instant gratification are their codes of conduct.
Under such conditions, it was unknown whether the human race at that time was capable of uniting with other races to eliminate the monsters on the continent, but they had already experienced the primary consequences of the war firsthand.
Gri mentioned that after the death of the second Son of God, the Magicians' Association and the nobles, in order to compete for power and win over the hearts of the people, simultaneously issued several decrees that had been suppressed during the Son of God's reign.
This includes all people within the jurisdiction, including nobles, who must abide by monogamy.
After hearing the brief description, Ian suddenly realized: "I was wrong."
He glanced at Lana and Luo sheepishly and said, "Then you two are just..."
"Guard." Although Lanna had calmed down a little, his voice was still cold.
This caused Lian Yun to look at him several times.
However, Lian Yun quickly suppressed his strange emotions and didn't look at him.
Well, no one would be happy if they were mistaken for a male concubine.
Lian Yun tried to dispel his further wandering thoughts: "It's okay, you go ahead and do your work, we can just move the bed ourselves."
Ian was about to say that he should solve the trouble himself, but he was frozen by Lana's cold gaze and swallowed his words back.
"Well, you have a good rest, I'm leaving first!" Ian ran down the tree house and ran away without looking back.
Lian Yun was about to take a deep breath when he realized that the smell in the room was not right. He held his breath silently and walked outside before he let out a long sigh.
Not long after, Lanna came out carrying the bed and quickly moved back to the first tree house.
Lina went into the house to pack up her things. A pile of wreaths and small gifts she had received today were still placed in the corner.
Lana nodded to Lina, walked out of the tree house, and found Lian Yun leaning on the vine handrail with his back to her, admiring the elf forest at night.
Hearing Lanna's footsteps, she tilted her head slightly.
The dark blue night sky shines through the mottled branches and leaves, falls into the girl's eyes, and adds a starry sky to her dark eyes.
Like a dream.
The atmosphere in the forest is so beautiful, even the air is sweet, and every breath is filled with the fragrance of flowers and trees.
She also wore a wreath of small yellow flowers on her head.
"Lanna." Lian Yun called his name with a smile in his eyes.
Lanna's heart seemed to skip a beat, and it took a long time for him to find his voice: "I'm here."
After receiving the response, Lian Yun leaned back into a comfortable position and talked to Lana at the same time.
Lanna also imitated her movements and leaned against the vines.
"Don't take what Ian said today to heart." Lian Yun said seriously, "You don't look like a male concubine at all."
After hearing this, Lanner looked at her without moving for a moment.
So Lian Yun nodded more seriously: "Really."
Lanna unconsciously curled the corners of her lips: "I believe it."
Lian Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you have confidence."
Lanna's lips curved even wider: "What's the life of a male favorite like?"
Lian Yun was stunned and began to try hard to think of an answer to his question.
The girl pondered for a moment. "It's probably about eating and using other people's things, and having nothing to do except stay by the master's side every day... Well, that's about it."
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with having a male favorite."
Lian Yun was stunned: "! How could you have such an idea!?"
Is there something wrong?
Lanna's eyes softened. "Because my life now is pretty much like what the adults said, right?"
The girl's face suddenly turned serious. "That's not the case! Being a male concubine is like living under someone else's roof. It's not a good job. We rely on our own hands..."
Lian Yun suddenly paused, looked away awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject: "Since you think there's nothing wrong with it, why are you so angry about what Ian said?"
Lanna thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because I'm considered useless."
Lian Yun watched the man's expression gradually become serious, his lips opening and closing, and a low, pleasant voice entered her ears.
"I want to be useful to adults."
"I want to protect you, my Lord."
"If others see it, they won't dare to have any improper thoughts."
The girl blinked.
The blond man was always serious.
But she suddenly had the urge to imprint his serious side firmly in her mind.
"You already did it." She turned her head away, trying to hide the suspicious blush on her face.
"Not enough." Lanna withdrew his gaze and looked in the same direction as her.
Lian Yun coughed dryly, "It's really beautiful."
"…Are you talking about that stone, sir?"
"Yes... do you believe it?"
The next morning, Lian Yun was awakened by the reminder sound indicating that his task was completed.
Agriculture is the Third Productive Force (Part 3) (Completed): I am pleased to inform you, Lord, that during your absence, your people and subordinates have actively completed the tasks you assigned them. In a short period of time, they have cultivated five crops and are now able to begin large-scale planting!
Lian Yun washed up while looking at the description on the panel. He waited for a while, but did not receive any notification of the task reward.
She skillfully opened the skill panel and saw the newly lit skill behind the [Farming] column - [Plant Growth].
[Plant Growth: Consumes your own stamina to quickly grow a plant. There is a chance that [Plant Dialogue] will occur. The cooldown time and success rate will change with the plant's level.]
...a skill that was unlocked at the wrong time.
If it were earlier, she would be able to squat in the fields every day to promote the growth of crops one by one, but now most crops have been planted on a large scale, and she does not have any important seeds in her hands.
But this skill was only unlocked after completing these farming tasks...
Lian Yun stared at the vase by the window, unable to figure anything out.
In theory, the tasks given by the system are a step-by-step process.
When I talked to the system in the Tree of Life yesterday, it also mentioned that the "system" that now issues tasks to Lian Yun is a fixed intelligent system. It will automatically generate tasks based on Lian Yun's personal situation and the environmental conditions around her, etc. The purpose is to ensure that she can lead her territory and people to develop towards a stronger place.
Therefore, it can be seen from the skills unlocked for her by the system that they all match the stage at that time.
If we really still follow this rule, then...
Lian Yun had some guesses in his mind, so he stood up and walked out the door.
Lina and the other three had just gotten up and it was obvious that they had put on their clothes in a hurry. They were standing together by the door with their backs to her.
There was an inexplicable weirdness in the silence.
Lian Yun's steps paused unconsciously. Luo sensitively sensed Lian Yun's voice, tilted his head at a slight angle, and coughed lightly the next moment, hinting to Lana beside him.
Lanner reacted quickly, turned around, and walked towards her with a serious look on his usually expressionless face.
Lian Yun's heart tightened. She wanted to see what was happening outside, but Lana deliberately blocked her view.
In Lian Yun's eyes, it seemed like a hundred years had passed since Lana walked from the door to her.
Finally, when Lanna came closer, Lian Yun lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
"Sir." Lanna took her a few steps into the inner room.
Seeing that the environment was slightly safer, Lana breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know who spread the news last night that you coerced and bribed the Elf Queen into moving the entire elf race out of the Elf Forest."
Lian Yun listened slowly, and almost the moment Lana explained the situation, he had guessed what had happened.
Sure enough, the next moment Lana secretly opened the rear window a crack.
Lian Yun looked from the angle he was looking at and saw that the tree house was filled with silent and serious-looking elves.
"Damn it!" Lian Yun couldn't help but complain in a low voice, but he didn't dare let the people below hear it.
She raised her head with a headache: "When did I use threats or inducements?"
She clearly explained the conditions and pros and cons, and asked the Tree of Life for an official seal to prove that her words were reliable.
The real decision-making power lies in the hands of the Elf Queen.
Lian Yun was even prepared for the mission to fail.
Besides, she is now in someone else's territory. How stupid must she be to do such a thing?
Lian Yun thought carefully about her people's words and actions, because she was always careful when visiting someone else's territory.
So there is only one possibility, someone is secretly doing this.
But who else knows about this besides them?
"...Miao An?"
Lian Yun frowned slightly and asked Lana for his opinion.
The latter's eyes were a little cold, and the meaning was self-evident.
Lian Yun always had a strange feeling in his heart.
She was about to say something when a huge discussion suddenly broke out outside.
Ian ran in from outside, his usually brisk movements now a little more hurried, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Lord, please come with me to take a look!" His voice was a little hoarse.
Lian Yun quickly poured him a glass of water and gestured for him to calm down: "Speak slowly."
Ian was anxious. He took the water and drank it all. His throat felt better, but the anxiety in his eyes was even stronger: "The Tree of Life...is beginning to wither!"
