Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Hero Who Covets the Demon King’s Body Is Trash (Seeking First Subscription)

The white-haired hero lusting after the demon king’s body is just scum.

With a hero like that, when they’re fighting the demon king, they’ll definitely end up fighting all the way into the bedroom, won’t they!

After learning what the real pact with the white-haired one was, Shami, besides being shocked, actually let down his guard regarding the rival factions to the point of thinking about meeting the hero as the demon king, and maybe the hero would even suggest watching a movie together.

After all, the most crucial pact that led the white-haired to the path of a hero was right there. If the white-haired insisted on killing him, she’d only get his body still slightly warm.

But that wouldn’t align with the pact’s terms of "helping each other," or "three days and nights," now would it! It’ll all be cold!

So, Shami was certain that once white hair knew his identity, at most she’d have a mental breakdown, but no real harm would come to him.

Given that he still intended to bring the white-haired one into his backyard to be a Swordsman Demon Envoy, and the white-haired one didn’t have the steely nerves like that flat-chested, blond one.

Thus, how to reveal his identity to the white-haired one without causing too much shock, allowing her to easily transition from a hero hunting the demon king to a rebellious hero protecting him, became Shami’s primary concern.

Shami pondered for a long time, and a reliable plan naturally came to mind.

The day after the young lady’s lunch, the white-haired received a commission and left the village, leaving Shami without the right opportunity to come clean, so he put that aside and began focusing on another important matter.

Looking for the Tree Spirit.

In the Demons Atlas, the Tree Spirit is also just an ordinary creature among many others, currently not extinct and one of the most numerous ordinary creatures.

[Name: Tree Spirit]

[Species: Demon Tribe·Ordinary Creature]

[Characteristic: Tree Spirits are trees that have naturally developed a tree soul under the nurturing forces of nature. As long as there are forests, Tree Spirits may exist.]

[Ability: The Language of Nature.]

[Tree Spirits possess an extensive range of language abilities and can understand the sounds of nature, whether it’s a sea bird, a rabbit from the meadow, or the wind blowing down from the mountains and falling leaves; Tree Spirits can listen to them all through their own language.]

[Caution 1: Because the trees that become Tree Spirits possess extraordinary vitality, lush with branches and foliage, many nobles will hire mercenary groups at high prices to capture Tree Spirits and transplant them into their gardens to make them more vibrant.]

[Caution 2: Additionally, furniture made from Tree Spirit wood sells for a high price on the market. It is rumored that lying on a bed made of Tree Spirit wood, you can hear the Tree Soul whisper gently at night, providing an excellent sleep aid for those with insomnia.]

[Protecting Trees is Everyone’s Duty!]

"What kind of sleep aid is this? If someone kept talking under my bed, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at all! Throwing in some slogan in the atlas doesn’t help, and those so-called warnings only fuel the ambition of those who want to poach the trees. I’m a demon king, not some wood thief!"

Shami frowned, continuing to absorb the Tree Spirit’s information.

As Slime numbers increased and the activity range expanded, Shami found himself in a predicament.

He lacked the ability to gather information about the outside world, and everything beyond his immediate area was like a fog of war to him.

If he had communications with the Tree Spirit, he could stay in Yili Village and still know the situation with the Slimes he dispatched.

Then, when the white-haired one approached the nest, he could know instantly.

In short, he urgently needed a Tree Spirit.

But since Tree Spirits have the ability to relocate themselves, the atlas didn’t provide a specific location for any of them, and the nearest marked location was over 500 kilometers away from Yili Village.

Meanwhile.

While Shami mulled over a plan to find a Tree Spirit, another project was slowly being pushed forward by Lureya, the Demon Envoy.

Mainly because they spent most of their time in the Maple Forest Clearing, and besides the clearing it was just trees all around, with nowhere decent to rest; it wasn’t fitting for the demon king and their envoy.

So, at Lureya’s suggestion, with the blond-haired girl taking charge, everyone embarked on a simple renovation of the small area in the Maple Forest Clearing.

The main contents were: crafting a comfortable bench for the demon king, under a tree providing shade; making a swing for the demon envoy; making a hammock for the demon envoy; and building a small wooden house for the demon envoy.

"Don’t just add all these things for yourself, why build a small wooden house? It’s too eye-catching!"

The blond-haired girl turned around while instructing the Slimes to transport the wood.

"What can we do? If you suddenly want to research a magic array, do you want the girl to lift her clothes in public? Surely having a place to hide from view is more suitable!"

"No one but me is interested in your belly here."

"Humph! If you think my belly is cute, just say so, why beat around the bush!"

The blond-haired girl pouted, turned away, ignoring Shami.

At that moment, a skeleton approached Shami, holding tools, having just installed Lureya’s hammock.

"My lord, I’ve been working day and night, and now there’s something that’s really bothering me..."

"Lureya, see, you’ve stirred up public outrage!"

"Don’t blame me!"

The blond-haired girl quickly came over, protesting to the skeleton.

"You’re just a bone that can’t get tired, so keep working! Reporting over my head is just too much!"

Shami comforted the skeleton, "What do you want to say?"

The skeleton laid down the tools, its empty gaze slowly turning to Shami.

"The elven lady has always been unwilling to include a biological lab within the small wooden house, but I just feel, a house befitting the demon king should have a biological lab; there’s nowhere suitable to display the bones."

"Not having a biological lab in the house is actually more reasonable! Don’t get swayed by the previous demon king’s ideas. Go patrol and properly use the residual heat of a skeleton."

The blond-haired elf naturally sat down beside Shami, leaned over to look at the atlas, and drew out her complaint.

"Aren’t you setting out to find the Tree Spirit, Shami? It’s so boring here~"

"Is the demon king intending to look for a Tree Spirit?"

The skeleton, who was just about to leave, slowly turned back.

"Yes. Why?"

"I do know where some Tree Spirits are."

"Really?"

"Yes."

The skeleton nodded.

"But there’s a high chance of being expelled. The Tree Spirits broke off with the demon king ages ago."

Shami furrowed his brows.

"Why?"
