That was a cold indifference that had completely lost its humanity.

Chen Jing closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then said, "I feel a little better."

"Hmm." Li Si remained noncommittal and instructed the others, "Search the rooms of the two cocoon people. You rest a little longer."

Chen Jing watched them search the room in silence, the effects of what had happened still lingering in his mind, leaving him feeling somewhat dazed. He chose to close his eyes and continue meditating to rest.

"What if he really becomes an angel?" Zhang Taoying asked worriedly as she searched for things.

“Or some kind of monster or something,” He Lili said. “Do you really believe they’ve turned into winged people? Look at what we’ve defeated before…”

"I hope not..." Li Ai glanced at Chen Jing, who was meditating with his eyes closed.

When Chen Jing opened his eyes and ended his meditation, confirming that the feeling had basically disappeared, the others had also finished searching the room, and the bloodstains on the ground had almost disappeared.

Afterwards, Chen Jing and the others went to the room where Mei Moke had been earlier, remaining vigilant as well.

The kind old man had already put on a robe he had found somewhere and was smiling at Chen Jing and the others.

If you ignore the oil-stained feathers and thin white tubes on his back, he looks quite like a kind-looking monk.

Chen Jing didn't speak, but Zhang Taoying whispered first, "It looks so strange."

He Lili smiled and said, "It seems that things are developing well, or at least it doesn't seem to be going in a bad direction."

Judging from her relaxed demeanor, she probably didn't sense any malice.

Dao Nan clicked his tongue, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Your Excellency, please apologize for your previous offense. How do you feel now?" Li Si said.

Mei Moke laughed and said, "It's alright. As for my current appearance..."

More and more thin white tubes grew on his back, waving like tentacles.

“You may call me ‘The Fire-Toucher,’ although this is indeed different from the winged people recorded in the classics, but I have embarked on the right path.”

"I am no longer an ordinary person, but have transcended the form of an ordinary person. Heaven has favored me, Heaven has favored me!"

As he spoke, he knelt down and worshipped the sky.
