There was no need to say more about what happened afterward. Those who understood, understood.
So what exactly had the National Teacher discussed with all those possibilities?
How had the conversation ended up on something so bizarre?
"I was serious too. My tree really can make people grow taller. Though my fox can indeed do backflips." Chen Luo looked utterly innocent.
There was an area beneath the World Tree where bone meal had been scattered. That area really could make people grow taller.
"This is... the National Teacher, correct? Lady Stargazer is still a child." Rita smiled as she issued a warning.
Clearly, Rita did not believe Chen Luo either.
"...It's finally over." Chen Luo sighed as he looked at the underwater altar before him.
"National Teacher, don't change the subject. I want a way to grow taller." Stargazer pounded Chen Luo's chest with her tiny fist.
"I told you, but you didn't believe me. How is that my fault?"
"...Then how about summoning that Grem again and having him grant me Longevity Power once I become an adult?" Stargazer said hesitantly.
"Obviously not. He'll only grant one wish to one fated person." Chen Luo shook his head.
"Then can you remove this immortality, National Teacher?"
"No problem. But are you sure?"
"..." After receiving Chen Luo's confirmation, Stargazer became reluctant instead.
That was human nature. Once people learned of an ability's side effects, they wanted to throw the ability away along with them. But when they heard that it really could be discarded, they instead began weighing whether it was worth it.
Should I hold a meeting to discuss it?
The next moment, Stargazer covered her head, though no pain showed on her face.
"What's wrong, Lady Stargazer?" Rita hurried forward and asked.
"Nothing. It's just a little noisy."
