Chapter 136: New Terrifying Sprouts
Meanwhile, after thinking for a long time, Vikram finally said, “Yes, I was living alone here. But when I was out hunting for food, I saw her. A few people were about to do something bad to her. Since I am a pure and kind-hearted person, I couldn’t just watch, so I saved her and brought her here. I only made her my maid. I didn’t do anything else.”
Hearing his words, Divya’s anger started to fade. After all, she herself had heard what Kuldeep and his men had planned to do to her and Anjali if they had caught them. If Vikram hadn’t saved them, things would have been much worse.
But even after calming down, she still asked him directly, “Is she only a maid here, or did you do something with her?”
Vikram was literally shocked by her sudden reversal. Just moments ago she had been hesitating to even enter his territory, and now she was staring at him and demanding answers as if this was already her own territory.
“Well… we haven’t done much,” he said, looking a little guilty. “Except a few times, you know… I was alone here, and she’s a girl, so sometimes it just happened.”
He could have hidden it, but since he had no intention of stopping his relationship with Sophia in the future, it was better to be honest now.
Hearing this, Divya stared at him as countless thoughts flooded her mind. The idea of leaving the shelter even crossed her mind.
But if she left, where would she go? She couldn’t claim that every other place was any different from here.
Moreover, after seeing the territory and all its facilities, how could she possibly leave? Jealousy and anger were one thing, but reality was another.
She also felt that although Vikram was strong and brave, he had some qualities of a henpecked husband.
In their previous chats, whenever she showed even a little anger, he would quickly fall silent. And here, even though this shelter was clearly his, instead of explaining everything calmly, he should have just forcefully picked her up, carried her to the bed, and taken her.
But instead, he was explaining every little detail himself.
So she decided that she would stay here. A clear plan formed in her mind.
“So, since Sophia is warming your bed every day, she is your bed-warming maid,” Divya said.
“Yes,” Vikram nodded.
“Then how dare you give me the same position as her? Instead of just being a bed warmer, you will marry me. Understand?” Divya asked, staring straight at him.
“Marry you?” Vikram repeated. He noticed that Divya had calmed down and had already accepted Sophia’s role as his bed-warming maid.
He hesitated for a moment at the thought of marriage, but then accepted it. “Okay, I will marry you.”
Hearing his answer, Divya nodded in satisfaction and then turned her gaze toward Sophia. Her eyes clearly conveyed one message: “Now I am the leader here.”
Sophia, who had been listening to everything, didn’t say a word. She already knew from their previous chats that her boss Vikram liked Divya more. Still, she couldn’t help feeling a little aggrieved.

In the evening, Vikram was looking over his territory and going to see, what the things needed to update, what has updated.
While he was also going to see the New Mage Sprouts and all his Upgraded Druid, till now he has not seen, even how much he was gaining the plants Essence, he has also not seen this.
First he looked towards the newly born sprouts.
The one sprout has a calm, enchanting appearance. Its body is small and childlike, similar to other sprouts, but it carries a quiet elegance.
Its skin has a soft green tone, slightly tinted with a faint icy glow, and frost is gently layered over it.
Its large eyes shine with a cool blue hue, resembling frozen lakes, clear, deep, and emotionless.
It wears a cloak made of layered frost-leaves and crystalized petals, giving it a delicate yet regal look.
The edges of its outfit shimmer like snowflakes, and tiny ice particles constantly drift around its body, sparkling in the air.
On its head, a small sprout grows, but unlike others, it looks slightly frozen, covered in a thin layer of ice crystals.
Its hood is decorated with sharp, translucent ice formations that resemble frozen wings, giving it a magical and noble presence.
Its hands often emit a faint cold mist, and when it gathers power, a glowing snowflake or orb of frost forms above its palm. The ground beneath its feet subtly freezes wherever it stands, leaving behind a thin layer of ice.
Vikram looked at the panel.

Vikram then looked towards the next sprout. Its small, childlike body carries a vibrant green tone, but faint streaks of electric blue run across its skin like tiny lightning veins. Its eyes glow with a bright golden-yellow hue, crackling faintly with energy.
It wears a cloak made of layered storm-leaves, dark blue and violet in color, with edges that flicker like charged air.
Tiny sparks dance across the fabric, and occasional arcs of lightning jump between the leaves.
On its head, a small sprout grows, it is surrounded by a faint electric aura. It has crystal-like structures that resemble lightning-shaped horns, glowing softly with storm energy.
The ground beneath its feet occasionally crackles with static energy, and small flashes of light appear with each step.
