"I'm sorry for my behavior, everybody," sobering up Dredre apologized to the only three humans in the Seed World. 

"No, don't be," Ann hurried consoled 

"Unwound Dredre was fun," said Aria, except for when she demanded more silver milk powder. 

Dredre nodded at Aria and Ann before turning to the demon merchant she was supposed to be serving. He was awfully quiet. Wyatt found it odd that Ann had rejected his offer for them to own an inter-dimensional travel technique. It was not like the Southern Royal family he knew. 

"Wyatt, I am sorry. I did it again," Dredre apologized to Wyatt separately. 

"Hey, don't worry about that. I don't mind occasional visits from unwound Dredre. She knows to be selfish and what she wants. You should be more like her," Not that Wyatt wanted to change Dredre but he wanted her to be a survivor rather than a silent sufferer or a sacrifice. 

"..." Listening to Wyatt's words Dredre contemplated, that nobody found her behavior unacceptable except for herself. It appeared that she would be forgiven by the trio regardless of her behavior as long as he didn't cross some conventional lines. 

"Dredre, why were you more unwound after consuming a small quantity of silver milk powder compared to when you consumed so many expensive foreign soul energy ingredients?" Wyatt asked based on his observation. 

When asked this question, Dredre stared blankly at Wyatt, then proceeded to say, "You're saying silver milk powder is cheaper than the other foreign soul energy ingredient? I think you guys have seriously underestimated the ability of the silver milk powder."

"Dredre, silver milk powder is of little to no help for beings in the higher realm. Besides it's homegrown, so it is cheaper," Wyatt answered still waiting for her to explain his previous question. 

"That's not what I felt when I consumed the silver milk powder it affected my body through my soul. Other soul energy ingredients can help beings with higher-realm in cultivation but only a few extremely rare ones are able to affect the body of the user through their soul. It is because the silver milk powder was able to affect my body through my soul that I was more unbound than previously and also why I prefer silver milk powder over the other foreign soul energy ingredients that you fed me so far. Which is why I was more addicted to it than other soul energy ingredients. By chance, you do happen to have more silver milk powder on you do you?" Dredre explained how silver milk powder has a rare attribute that was rarely found in other soul energy ingredients. 

But from Dredre's words, it was also clear that she was far from done when it came to experimenting with Silver Milk Powder. However, It was good to see that Dredre was taking Wyatt's advice of Dredre acting in her self-interest rather than trying to be a perfect book guide pixie every time. 

"Well, the good news is that you managed to survive in the absence of my presence for ten minutes. This shows that you've grown used to the seed world and your present company," Wyatt observed. 

Wyatt decided to ignore Dredre's shine for silver milk powder. And focused on the fact that his short-term separation from Dredre was a success. It can be seen that the best way for others to gain Dredre's trust was through their unwound Dredre. After that incident, Dredre seemed to be as comfortable in Ann and Aria's company as she was in his company. This was great news, now he could leave and handle other pressing matters. 

"You are right I totally forgot that you had left," Dredre blurted, she found it rather odd that she had grown used to the seed world so much so that her compatibility with it was high enough for her to continue to maintain a realm of Card Emperor even without the presence of Wyatt or her Forest spirit. 

This was totally new to Dredre and she was happy with it. It meant that she did not have to create forest spirits everywhere she went to increase and stabilize her strength. There were other ways for her to decrease her anxiety in new places, one of them was being in the company of friends and family. The other one being, getting so high on foreign soul energy that new surroundings did not bother her. 

However, these alternatives were not as surefire as creating a forest spirit. Besides, the more time she spends with the forest spirit and familiarizes herself with the realm, slowly her realm will climb to an invincible ceiling in that particular forest. But that was not the case with the alternatives she had found recently besides they had serious side effects to them. 

What if one of the friends she was depending on in a new surrounding suddenly gets hurt or expires? If that were to happen then she might slowly die of sadness let alone maintain the strength of a higher realm in the new surroundings. As for getting high on foreign soul energy, she would have continuously had to consume high-level soul energy ingredients, which would drive her bankrupt within a few hours. So in the end the alternatives were just temporary measures. If she planned to spend a lot of time in new surroundings she had no choice but to create a new forest spirit. 

Presently in the seed world, Dredre has already gotten used to her new surroundings enough to start building a forest in it thanks to Wyatt accompanying her. With continuous work on the forest, Dredre has come to slowly grow fond of the seed world. So much so that in the absence of Wyatt she could maintain a card lord or overlord realm of strength in the seed world.
