Chapter 32
C32 – Vine Demon Evolved
Moreover, in the strictest sense, the heroes summoned to the territory were not native inhabitants of the Whispering Land. Qiang Nantie was the sole native of the Whispering Land.
As such, they couldn’t live in the Whispering Land through conventional means.
Yet, there was a solution.
It required him to secure a special artifact.
With this artifact, any hero summoned to the territory could make a life in the Whispering Land. Some could remain indefinitely, while others were bound only for a limited duration.
For those heroes destined to stay in the Whispering Land permanently, the Lord had to register their information, officially inducting them as members of his domain.
Qiang Nantie understood the need to establish their identities, but the specifics eluded him.
Nevertheless, Lords typically devoted most of their time to adventures on the Lord Continent, leaving them scant time in the Whispering Land.
The passage of time was consistent across both the Whispering Land and the Lord Continent. Only a handful of exceptional locales exhibited variations in time’s flow.
Records in the Whispering Land trace back 15,000 years to the annals of the Lord’s World.
Events predating these records have slipped into the realm of myth.
Qiang Nantie’s soul hailed from Earth, as did Huamo and her companions. Despite their different epochs, Qiang Nantie didn’t regard their convergence as mere chance.
The vibrant Overlord Space had likely traversed time and space alongside him, a realization that dawned upon him only upon awakening.
Now that Huamo and the others had joined him in this world, he was determined to forge a legendary empire within this magnificent Lord’s World!
Previously, as a mere mortal, he harbored no grand aspirations.
But mediocrity was never in his nature.
His past ordinariness stemmed from a lack of opportunity to alter his destiny.
Upon returning to the Spirit Vein Bamboo House, Qiang Nantie wasted no time in drawing the two women into his embrace and heading for the bed.
Bi Yu offered no resistance, willing to be with Qiang Nantie. Huamo remained bashful, a trait Qiang Nantie found endearing.
Of course, they were simply resting.
On the third day of the Newbie Trial, they rose early. After breakfast, they awaited the commencement of the Trial.
Qiang Nantie was the first to reach the spiritual field. His surprise was palpable upon seeing the crops on the brink of maturation.
“These crops are growing incredibly fast.”
Huamo shared his astonishment. They had only sown these seeds yesterday morning, and now, barely a day later, they were nearing readiness. The rate of growth was astounding.
“I had anticipated they’d be ready by tomorrow. Clearly, I’ve underestimated the power of the spiritual field.”
He had predicted that a portion of the crops would ripen prematurely by midday.
Each plant species had its own growth cycle. The fruits, for instance, wouldn’t be ready until the following day or so.
“It seems we’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor from the spiritual field this very evening.”
Qiang Nantie was elated. There was a deep sense of fulfillment in consuming the food he had cultivated.
“Lord, monsters are approaching!” Bi Yu, with her formidable mental strength, detected the distant threat even quicker than Huamo.
“Let’s get ready!”
Qiang Nantie, accompanied by Huamo, Bi Yu, and Ruan Shijia, positioned themselves outside the wall to confront the incoming monsters.
But first, Qiang Nantie glanced at the eight Vine Demons and fetched a generous amount of Spirit Spring Water.
The Vine Demons grew rapidly with the watering. The more Spirit Spring Water they absorbed, the faster their growth.
“It appears the growth rate of the Vine Demons is tied to the volume of Spirit Spring Water.”
This outcome was unexpected for Qiang Nantie, prompting him to increase the water supply.
He drenched a single Vine Demon with ten liters of Spirit Spring Water before halting.
The Vine Demon surged in growth, quickly transforming into a tree nearly seven or eight meters tall, its vines becoming impressively long and robust.
Once the Vine Demon had fully grown, it began its evolution.
The Vine Demon was then shrouded in a cascade of colorful light and morphed into the form of a woman.
Qiang Nantie was taken aback.
He had never imagined such a turn of events.
“Greetings, Lord.” The Vine Demon, clad in green garments, approached Qiang Nantie and offered a courteous bow.
“There’s no need for such formality,” Qiang Nantie responded hastily.
He had never anticipated that a simple seed could yield such a remarkable result. The surprise was genuine.
The Vine Demon’s features and aura were striking, and Qiang Nantie noted her familiar visage.
He swiftly reviewed the profile of the Vine Demon before him.

“Evilkind?”
Qiang Nantie was somewhat taken aback by the Vine Demon’s race. It seemed to be a technique for inducing demonic transformation.
Contemplating the unique aspects of the Rainbow Lord Space, he accepted it with pleasure.
“From this moment, you shall be known as Le Cili,” declared Qiang Nantie.
“Lord, I am grateful for the name you have granted me,” Le Cili responded joyfully.
Qiang Nantie chose the name Le Cili because of their striking resemblance to each other.
Seven more Vine Demons awaited nurturing.
He proceeded to water the remaining seven Vine Demons with ten liters of Spirit Spring Water.
A burst of seven colorful lights heralded their transformation into a mix of male and female forms, totaling seven individuals.
Yet, none matched Le Cili’s exceptional Grade SSS, as they were all Grade S.
“You shall be Le Yesi, you Le Chunling, you Le Zhiye, you Le Wenqi, you Le Jun, you Le Kuihao, and you Le Dunwei.”
“The eight of you are siblings; henceforth, you will heed the commands of your eldest sister, Le Cili.”
Qiang Nantie named each one in turn.
Together with Le Cili, they made up a group of eight Evilkinds, comprising five females and three males.
“Lord, we thank you for the names you’ve given us. We will follow the lead of our eldest sister, Le Cili,” the seven Vine Demons promptly responded.
Before long, a pack of monstrous creatures emerged at the forest’s edge.
They were all fifth-level wolves, a formidable assembly.
Among them were black wolves, white wolves, grey wolves, and others of their kind.
