Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 551 Two Troublesome Guys

"I'll take her back."

Danheng's voice rang out.

"Danheng, you're here."

Eve, nestled in Xia Die's arms, raised the leaf above her head and waved it at Dan Heng as a greeting.

"I rushed over as soon as I heard you were back in the city, but I haven't been able to find you anywhere," Dan Heng said with a hint of helplessness.

He initially ran to the city gate but couldn't find anyone. Then he heard the guards say that Eve and the others had gone to the residential area, so he immediately rushed over there.

He searched the residential area several times but couldn't find them. Finally, after inquiring, he learned that they had returned to Yunshi Tiangong, so he rushed back.

Along the way, Danheng didn't even see Eve's taillights.

"I'm sorry, it was a last-minute decision, Your Excellency Danheng," Xia Die said somewhat apologetically.

"It's nothing," Dan Heng waved his hand.

Compared to all these things, what he really wanted to hear was that Eve would return safely.

"Then I'm going back. Remember to get some rest."

Eve leaped with all her might, jumping from Xia Die's arms onto Dan Heng's shoulder.

Xia Die suddenly felt the softness in her arms disappear, and for a moment she felt a little disappointed.

It feels really good to the touch...

"Okay, Mom." Xia Die nodded regretfully and then left.

At that moment, Eve, perched on Danheng's shoulder, appeared in Danheng's field of vision, her body turned to the side.

"Speaking of which, you probably haven't seen me in this form before, so why aren't you curious?" Eve asked, puzzled.

“Because your aura won’t change, and besides, Xing told me about how you’ll turn into a slime,” Dan Heng said.

I remember when Eve left the Star Train in Luofu, she gave Xing a slime, which was Eve's conscious alter ego.

Although Danheng was not present at the time, he later heard Xing's embellished version.

“Okay.” Eve straightened up.

Danheng walked toward the private bathhouse, Eve bouncing on his shoulder.

The fluidity of the slime's body has once again been well demonstrated.

“Speaking of which, I heard about your ordeal from Bai E… You must have had a really tough time,” Dan Heng suddenly said.

"We're used to it. What kind of pioneering journey would it be if we didn't encounter some unexpected events?"

Eve swayed gently on Danheng's shoulder.

"That's true." Dan Heng nodded slightly.

The recent expeditions have been anything but quiet, and the difficulty has increased dramatically.

I don't know what happened?

Soon, the two arrived at the private bathhouse.

Danheng placed Eve on the bed.

"Speaking of which, what were you doing while I was away?"

"I organized the logs and also asked Feng Jin for some research materials on the Tree Garden."

As Danheng spoke, he brought in the food that had been delivered to the entrance of the private bathhouse and placed it on the table.

This was something he had prepared after learning that Eve had arrived in Ohma.

"Hmm, that seems to suit you quite well."

Eve nodded, after all, Danheng had been staying in the archives room on the train.

"By the way, I've discovered something very interesting. Remember? The sky of Onpharos was sealed off by a Titan, the Sky Titan, Aegler... Its existence isolated this world from the outside world."

Danheng suddenly mentioned it.

"And Feng Jin's ancestor... seems to have been a sky priest who worshipped the Sky Titan of Aegler. Perhaps she can provide more clues to find a way back to the Star Train."

"The sky is sealed off, the Titan of the sky... it seems quite different from the Titan of the sky I imagined."

As Eve spoke, the entire slime collapsed onto the bed.

Dan Heng turned his head and glanced at it, his expression a mixture of amusement and helplessness.

He knew the danger Eve and her companions had faced.

She was probably just too tired.

"By the way, what happened to Ohmma while I was away?"

Dan Heng shook his head. "There haven't been any emergencies in the Holy City these past few days, and I haven't had to deal with anyone. Being alone isn't so bad."

"Alright, your food is ready. Eat something if you're hungry."

"Seeing you so sprawled out, you'd better get some more sleep before we leave tomorrow..."

"Also, I've heard some rumors... If you're going out for a stroll, I suggest you avoid hot baths first."

After giving his instructions, Danheng left Eve's room and closed the door behind him.

"A hot bath?" Eve felt a little confused.

She was about to ask something when she realized that Danheng had already left.

.......................

Some time ago, inside the Marble Palace.

Tibo, who was communicating with Aglaia, suddenly sensed something.

"Tian...?"

Aglaia sensed Tibo suddenly clutching her chest and immediately became worried.

"What's wrong... Is there trouble on Tree Garden's side?"

Tibo nodded. "Yes."

“A feeling flashed by, but was extremely strong... They seem to have encountered some tricky trouble.”

"Tian wanted to use the 'Gate of a Hundred Realms,' but was forcibly stopped."

"Can we see the specific images?" Aglaia asked immediately.

Tibo shook her head. "No, it's as blurry as usual. But the enemy's presence has disappeared. Maybe they've moved to a safe place...probably."

Aglaia sighed, "Hopefully it's just a false alarm. Trust Eve and Xia Die, my teacher..."

"After all, Eve is the one who can destroy the Titans of Strife."

"They will protect Tian."

Tibo was a little helpless and annoyed. "Why do you treat us like little kids, Aya?"

“One day, Tian will reach her limit, and Tibao will take over the role of ‘doorman’ from her. We all know this.”

"I'm just... a little worried about her mental state. Before we left, Tian couldn't even pronounce short sentences clearly..."

"If we forcefully use the Hundred Realms Gate again this time, then Tian will really..."

"At least let us say goodbye properly," Tibo said, then fell silent.

“I will pray with you.” Aglaia knew perfectly well what Tibo was thinking.

Tibo breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"Aya, we'll have to trouble you to come with us to the bathhouse this time to relax..."

"It feels like neither of us has laughed in a long time."

Tibo forced a smile, which Aglaia could sense.

"Let's set off on the west wind."

Hearing Tibo's cheerful tone, Aglaia sighed silently.

She accompanied Tibbo to the bathhouse.

But as soon as they entered the bath, they felt a surge of heat.

Tibo frowned slightly. "It's so hot. Is it usually this hot?"

"Did they add too much firewood today?" Aglaia felt the intense heat of the steam.

Suddenly, a cry of "Ah..." came from afar.

"Over there... are there more wounded?"

Tibo immediately became alert, and she and Aglaia rushed over.

"W-What's going on?!"

Tibo asked the guest who had fallen to the ground.

The guest struggled to extend his arm, shouting with difficulty, "Be... careful..."

"Be careful of what?" Aglaia asked impatiently.

The guest continued, "Be careful... the Suspended Man..."

After saying that, he completely fainted.

Aglaia frowned. "The Suspended Peak People? This devastation...was caused by them?"

Tibo cried out anxiously, "Aya, forget about all that, hurry and save the injured!"

Just then, Feng Jin's voice came.

"Excuse me, everyone!"

Suddenly, Feng Jin saw Aglaia and Tibo, and immediately relaxed.

"Gentlemen! I'm relieved to have you here as well."

"Why is the Dim Light Courtyard here too! What happened?" Tibo asked in confusion.

Clearly, she was unaware that Feng Jin had arrived in Ohma.

Feng Jin chuckled, "Actually, I just came here to relax... but as soon as I got nearby, I saw a lot of people lying on the ground in disarray."

"I checked them over, and they seemed fine. It just felt like... the water was too hot and they had been soaking for too long."

Feng Jin made a bold guess about the reason, but it was clear that she herself didn't quite believe it was because of that reason.

Aglaia frowned immediately, her face turning somewhat embarrassed.

It is truly unacceptable that such a thing could happen in Ohmma's largest bathhouse.

"Many people fainted simultaneously due to the high temperature of the pool water? Where is the beach management?"

Feng Jin shook her head, her expression somewhat helpless.

"He's vanished, his whereabouts unknown. Some people are muttering that it was the 'Hangerman' who did it... Does Ms. Agrea have any leads?"

Aglaia fell silent.

Mentioning the Suspended Man in Ohmma is always the most sensitive topic.

This is due to a variety of factors, after all, everyone knows what the word "Suspended Peak" represents.

Thinking of this, Aglaia could only sigh.

"Let these people rest. You two, come with me."

Tibo quietly asked, "Aya, what's on your mind?"

"Of course. Although we don't know what they're really up to, it's time to end this farce."

The three of them walked into the bathhouse and saw many guests who had fainted from the heat.

"My God, so many people...?!"

"Who did this...?"

The three were clearly shocked.

Even those guests who didn't faint from the heat kept complaining, "It's so hot..."

Aglaia's expression clearly fell a little more.

"We must find them quickly."

She already had someone in mind who caused this crisis.

Just then, two familiar voices came from afar.

"A pathetic 'savior,' nothing more than that."

"you....."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Little... little enemy?!"

"Little White! Even Little White..."

Wan Di stood atop the bathhouse, surrounded by countless fallen people, including Bai E.

Bai E slowly raised his head, using his last bit of strength to shout, "The...killer..."

"The murderer...is...Medemos..."

After saying that, he collapsed with a "uh".

Tibo panicked immediately and yelled at Wan Di, "Little Di! What have you done to everyone?!"

Wan Di snorted coldly, "Hmph... he just won in yet another gladiatorial contest."

"Gladiator... gladiator?" Feng Jin's face was full of question marks.

Aglaia sighed; she seemed to have expected this all along.

"Sure enough."

"These two, on the surface, are the most powerful warriors in the Holy City, but ultimately they cannot conceal their youthful nature..."

"Tell us, Wan Di? Tell us what foolish things you and Bai E did."

Wan Di first snorted coldly before revealing the matter.

Let's turn back time.

Wan Di encountered Bai E, who was taking a bath at the bathhouse.

He was about to go up and start a conversation, but then he felt that it wouldn't be good to say anything.

After all, Bai E had just failed the Fire Seed Trial.

Right now, the most important thing is not to agitate Bai E.

After much thought, he still felt that saying this was the safest option.

"Am I right? The amazing 'savior' is finally willing to step out into the light?"

Upon hearing Wan Di's words, Bai E was taken aback for a moment, then let out a cold "humph".

Wan Di was surprised. "Hmph... What kind of answer is that?"

He had just used such prudent words, but Bai E really doesn't know what's good for him.

Bai E turned his head coldly, "Nothing—just imitating your usual mannerisms."

"I didn't sense anything special about you... Did you pass the test of the demigod?"

"The ceremony has not yet resumed. Just in case you forget—it hasn't been long since I dragged you out of the trial."

"I haven't forgotten."

"You're welcome."

The tension between the two was running high when suddenly Bai E began reciting poetry.

"...The last light in the long night, the fortified city of Ohmma."

"Many people travel from afar, believing it to be a lush garden where figs and olives abound..."

"...But unexpectedly, he fell into the burning furnace?"

Wan Di frowned. "What trick are you playing now?"

"I just felt like reciting a few lines of poetry on a whim. Surely the prince of Xuanfeng doesn't misunderstand poetry?" Bai E's tone was full of sarcasm.

“Those who are prone to delusion do not read such weak writing, but my library, the Great Library of Gorbanipar, has no shortage of such books—”

"These lines express the author's homesickness, just as Ohmma is far from most people's hometown."

Wan Di was immediately enraged and humiliated, "—I understand poetry, you bastard!"

Bai Er laughed, "Ha...don't pretend to be profound, friend."

"Thank you for pulling me out of the crisis, but as I see it, you weren't prepared for the trial either, were you?"

“Don’t confuse our situations. I have my people behind me, and I cannot ascend to godhood alone before solving their problems.”
