Chapter 425: Law of Love
“Oak Sprite?”
Upon hearing Jia Na’s words, Lawrence-Emma pondered for a moment before leading Jia Na in one direction.
“Miss Jia Na, please watch your step.”
As Lawrence-Emma led Jia Na deeper into the plant area, she didn’t forget to remind Jia Na to be careful of the roots of various active plants underfoot.
Jia Na, having received the reminder, carefully avoided the roots while looking at the various Plant-based magical creatures around her.
“There are even Thorn Flower Fairies here—!”
Looking at the Thorn Flower Fairy not far away, still in its bud form, Jia Na couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
Besides being amazed by the rich “collection” of the Deformation Museum, she was also surprised that the Thorn Flower Fairy was in a “living state.”
“Most of the Plant-based magical beasts in the Deformation Museum are active and have not been made into specimens.”
Perhaps sensing Jia Na’s doubt, Lawrence-Emma explained at the opportune moment.
“Is it because Plant-based creatures have a lower inclination to actively attack?”
“Not at all. It’s because Plant-based creatures have sufficiently long lifespans and abundant Life force. However, other creatures, due to their short lifespans, experience bodily aging that affects their entire physical function, which is not conducive to Deformation research.”
Hearing this, Jia Na couldn’t help but purse her lips.
To put it bluntly, it was simply because non-Plant-based creatures had too short lifespans, and their physical functions couldn’t maintain a peak state for long periods.
Therefore, to maximize cost savings, the Deformation Museum’s approach was to turn these creatures into specimens when their physical functions reached their peak state.
Although cruel, it indeed aligned with the principle of maximizing profit. As the two delved deeper, after about fifteen minutes, led by Lawrence-Emma, Jia Na finally found her objective for this trip—the Oak Sprite.
Fairies are Plant-based extraordinary creatures, mostly found in environments rich in plant elements, such as the Elf Forest.
Fairy types can be categorized into Tree Fairies, Flower Fairies, Elemental Fairies, Moon Fairies, etc.
The target Jia Na was looking for this time was the relatively well-known Oak Sprite among the Tree Fairies.
The reason the Oak Sprite is famous is not because of their powerful strength, but because their reputation after completing their Life evolution, as Oak Fairy, is truly “too notorious.”
The most famous among these stories is about the Oak Fairy using Extraordinary Charm to bewitch adult human males and then devour their souls.
Of course, this also owes to the elaborate arrangements of bards and wandering poets, who attributed various “love-struck” deeds to the Oak Fairy, a beautiful yet dangerous extraordinary creature.
“Is this the Oak Sprite?”
Looking at an Oak Sprite not far away, only the size of a fist, curled up and “sleeping” in a flower bud, Jia Na, seeing this creature for the first time, couldn’t help but show a look of surprise in her eyes.
Behind her were a pair of slender, light-green translucent wings, and her fair, delicate face had exquisite features like a doll, while her body was adorned with a mini dress tailored from oak leaves. Just from her appearance, the Oak Sprite, who also possessed extremely high Charm, would absolutely not evoke any ill will.
However, Jia Na, who had a detailed understanding of the Oak Sprite beforehand, knew very well that, like the Oak Fairy, the Oak Sprite’s temperament was also equally malicious.
Although it wouldn’t go as far as sucking human souls, various “fatal” pranks were endless.
Coupled with the Oak Sprite’s ghostly speed, comparable to that of a wind elemental creature, it was even more headache-inducing.
The reason Jia Na chose the Oak Sprite as the subject for her Transformation Trial this time was precisely because she valued the Oak Sprite’s flying speed, as well as its characteristic of being a Plant-based elemental creature, just like Jia Na.
In this Transformation Trial, Jia Na could clearly feel that one of her shortcomings was that after transforming into a butterfly-winged form, her flying speed was significantly slower than that of other participants.
Therefore, to solve this problem, upon Lilith-Meg’s personal suggestion, Jia Na set her sights on the only Plant-based Fairy creature in the Deformation Museum, which was the Oak Sprite.
“Miss Jia Na, do you need me to retrieve detailed information about the Oak Sprite for you?”
“Yes, please. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
After speaking, Lawrence-Emma spoke a few words into her wristband.
“You might have to wait about ten minutes first. In the meantime, I can open the isolation barrier around the Oak Sprite for you.”
“Alright.”
After stepping back a few paces, Jia Na watched Lawrence-Emma make a few virtual taps around the Oak Sprite.
“It’s done. You can research the Oak Sprite anytime until 8 AM tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Hearing Lawrence-Emma’s words, and knowing that the barrier around the Oak Sprite was now open, Jia Na wasted no more time and walked directly to the Oak Sprite.
“Hahahahaha—”
As Jia Na approached, a clear laugh, like silver bells, suddenly rang in Jia Na’s ears.
Upon hearing this sudden laughter, Jia Na’s first reaction was a feeling of irritation.
“Is this the power of a Law?”
After quickly calming her emotions, Jia Na, who was extremely familiar with the Law of Beauty, soon detected the very familiar Law fluctuation emanating from the Oak Sprite.
However, what made Jia Na feel strange was that the fluctuation of this Law’s power seemed different from the Law of Beauty that Jia Na was familiar with; it was more from the depths of the soul, carrying various negative emotions.
“Could it be the Law of emotions?”
Her brows furrowed slightly. Jia Na still couldn’t be certain about this conjecture.
After all, although the Law of emotions was one of the subordinate Laws of the Law of Beauty, at times, the Law of emotions also had intricate connections with another Main Law, namely the Law of Love.
“It couldn’t really be the Law of Love, could it?”
After a brief period of thought, Jia Na, who still hadn’t found an answer, ultimately chose to put the matter aside for now.
Once Lawrence-Emma brought over the relevant information about the Oak Sprite, Jia Na would be able to roughly know where these strange negative emotions were coming from. “Phew—” She let out a long breath. Looking at the Oak Sprite close by, Jia Na skillfully cast the Mental Perception sorcery.
Immediately after, magic flowed, and a emerald green light appeared in Jia Na’s hands.
