Once they climbed onto the tree, George realized that the tree was larger than he had initially thought.
If this cave was a whole new mini-world that resided below Boneyard Range, then this tree would be a mini-world within a mini-world.
Its branches were so thick that just one George was standing on was able to hold up an entire village on its own.
And the one under his feet wasn’t even the biggest one.
“This tree is huge, and so beautiful!”
Celia got off George and stomped on the tree. Then she tried to take a few steps forward.
“What’s wrong? Now isn’t the time to admire the scenery.”
George was puzzled by Celia’s actions. Rather than the scenery, he was more concerned about the dragon egg.
George calmed himself down to focus on his connection with the egg. Everything seemed fine. The dragon egg seemed to be doing well.
“Don’t worry. I’m sure everything will go smoothly. Haven’t you noticed? There are dragon souls all around. They won’t trouble a dragon hatchling.”
Celia could tell that George was anxious and worried. This was the first time she’d seen him like this, and Celia decided that this side of him was both unfamiliar and refreshing.
“Say, in the future, if you have kids, will you be all awkward and fretful like you’re being right now?”
“I can’t say.” George blushed. He turned away and looked around.
Around them, streaks of white dragon souls flew toward the treetop.
They seemed to have noticed George was looking in their direction, and a dragon soul with a pair of shimmering blue eyes returned his gaze.
When their eyes met, apprehension filled George and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Noxkaius.
However, the other party had no intention of attacking. This made him heave a sigh of relief.
“Relax, if we were a threat, these dragon souls would have attacked us already.”
Compared to George’s nervousness, Celia was much calmer.
“There are some things I can’t tell you yet because it’ll be very troublesome,”
Celia’s voice sounded behind him.
George turned to see Celia smiling serenely. Her smile was so beautiful.
Sensing George’s attention, Celia tilted her head playfully and winked her left eye at him.
“But I can tell you some things.”
George listened quietly.
“We don’t need the fruits at the top. To be precise, they’re not suitable for us.”
Following which, Celia briefly explained the nature of the Fruit of Gifts, giving George a general understanding of the fruit.
“The Fruit of Inheritance huh?”
“Yes, I think that’s why the dragon egg is attracted to it.”
“I see.”
“Are you still planning to go up?”
“Whether it’s to witness the birth of the child or to take the Fruits of Gifts, I want both.”
Celia started, then thought of something, George’s confident smile reflecting in her beautiful eyes.
“What am I going to do with you? Are you so confident that your body can handle it?”
“This body is the body of infinite evolutions. It’s a constitution that normalizes miracles.
“So nothing is impossible for me.”
“I understand. Let’s continue then.”
Given George’s speed, they soon reached the top of the tree.
“It’s gorgeous!”
The crown of the tree was adorned by fruits that were twinkling like stars.
The fruits had a sparkling and translucent surface and were emitting radiance. There were also vague figures of various dragons under the translucent skin.
George, who possessed exceptional senses even found a Chiropteragon Fruit of Gifts.
“There are this many Fruits of Gifts!? If you eat them all and successfully evolve, I can’t even imagine how big your appetite’s going to become.”
After each evolution, George’s appetite would multiply. And Celia couldn’t help but imagine how George would be if he evolves a few more times. As she did, her expression turned peculiar.
