Chapter 165 Becoming a Little Beast
Xia Yueke's attention was successfully diverted. She tilted her head slightly, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes, and walked towards the hot spring that had not yet taken shape with great interest.
A gentle breeze blew by, her soft hair fluttered in the wind, and her pace unconsciously quickened a bit.
Duzi, Juanjuan and the others immediately gathered over as if attracted by a magnet.
Duzai's tail swayed happily from side to side, making a slight "rustling" sound as it swept across the ground, and from time to time a low "woooo" sound came out of his mouth, as if expressing his inner excitement.
Juanjuan stared with his big round eyes, his ears erect, full of curiosity.
"Hot spring? What's that?"
Juanjuan was the first to ask the question. His voice was between that of a teenager and a young adult, with a bit of magnetism, and rising slightly due to curiosity, with a playful vibrato at the end.
His eyes were full of confusion, his little head tilted slightly to one side, and his ears twitched unconsciously.
Xia Yueke cleared her throat and began to explain, "This is, of course, a heated pool. In cold weather, people can soak in it, letting the warm water wrap around their bodies. It's so comfortable to soak in it."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to indicate the size and shape of the hot spring, an intoxicated expression on her face.
However, Xia Yueke lost interest after looking at it for a while. After all, there was only a construction site with a shallow pit dug in front of him, which made it difficult for him to have more imagination.
She cast a bored look at Rongqiujuanjuan and the others. Looking at those tall guys who had grown to be over 180 meters tall, her heart was filled with envy.
"Why haven't I turned into a young beast yet? This is so annoying!"
Xia Yueke was filled with regret and kicked a small stone at his feet away fiercely.
The stone drew an arc in the air and landed next to Qing Yan with a clang.
At this time, Qing Yan was handing tools to Qian Jingyao. Hearing Xia Yueke's series of annoyed words, a rare trace of contemplation flashed across his red eyes, as if an electric current passed through his mind. Suddenly, he seemed to be hit by inspiration, and his eyes lit up.
He excitedly trotted over to Xia Yueke, waving his hands in the air excitedly, "Yue, I got it, I got it! Use the spirit pearl I gave you last time! That one will definitely work, hehe."
When Xia Yuke heard this, she was stunned. Spirit Pearl?
She frowned slightly, with doubt and confusion in her eyes, trying hard to search in the long river of memory.
After thinking for a long time, finally, a vague scene of their first meeting emerged in my mind. Qing Yan seemed to have really given me a bead, and seemed to have said that it had some magical effects, as if it could be used to upgrade or something.
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up, as if she saw the light of hope. She immediately turned around and ran back to the stone house like a gust of wind.
It was a little dark in the stone house, but she didn't care about that and rushed straight to the stone cabinet in the corner.
Her hands frantically rummaged through the stone cabinet, leaving clothes and miscellaneous items in a mess.
Finally, she found the spirit pearl in a hide package at the bottom of the cabinet. Holding the spirit pearl tightly, Xia Yueke's heart was full of anticipation.
As soon as she walked out of the stone house, Rongqiu and the others immediately surrounded her.
Rongqiu had sharp eyes and recognized at a glance that it was the spirit bead that Xia Yueke had wanted to give them before. He immediately grinned with joy, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Oh right, there's also this. Now Coco, you can definitely become like us!"
When Xia Yueke heard this, a light flashed in her eyes, and the slightly tired look was immediately replaced by energy.
She couldn't wait to grab the spirit bead, and without caring about anything around her, she hurriedly found a quiet corner filled with spiritual energy and began to practice with all her heart.
A faint halo gradually appeared around her, which was a sign that the spiritual power of the spirit pearl was blending with her own aura. Her expression was sometimes solemn and sometimes relaxed, and it was obvious that she was immersed in the world of cultivation.
After leaving behind a group of orcs, Qian Jingyao and Rongqiu Duzi looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes.
"Come in and have something to eat before you leave!"
Qian Jingyao looked at the few people, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
Duzi shook his head and said, "Let's go back. We came here just to tell Coco that we have become second-level orcs."
Qian Jingyao nodded and sent them out.
Qing Yan looked in the direction where Xia Yuke left, his eyes narrowed into slits, the corners of his mouth widened, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and he smiled happily:
"By becoming a young beast, Yue has grown up, right? Is she the same size as Qiu and the others?"
Qian Jingyaoan began to feel a little restless.
From time to time, he glanced at the stone house where Xia Yueke was, muttering:
"Keke, why aren't you feeling better yet? Is this spirit bead useless?"
There was a hint of worry and anxiety in his words.
When Qing Yan heard this, he immediately became anxious. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, his cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and he said loudly:
"Impossible, it works. I ate it before and even leveled up twice!"
Qian Jingyao thought for a moment and suggested:
"Why don't we go and take a look!"
Here, Xia Yueke became more and more absorbed in her practice in the stone house. A layer of soft light surrounded her body, and the light rhythmically moved with her breathing.
The spirit bead in her hand was slowly releasing energy, becoming smaller and smaller visibly, as if an invisible force was pulling the spiritual power in the spirit bead, allowing it to continuously flow into Xia Yueke's body.
Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan were waiting quietly beside the window of the stone house that was covered with mottled marks.
Time passed slowly, one hour... two hours... a long time passed quietly.
The stone house was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. Just when Qing Yan couldn't help but frown slightly and felt a little doubtful about his things, a white light suddenly flashed from Xia Yueke's side, like a swift lightning that broke the long silence.
Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan's gazes were instantly drawn to the spot, as if drawn by a magnet. They immediately looked over and saw that Xia Yueke, who had originally been as tiny as a young animal, had transformed into a graceful and beautiful young lady.
Her long hair, like black satin, fell softly to her waist, emitting a charming luster in the dim light.
The deep blue eyes are like a clear lake, lively and smart, and there seem to be stars twinkling when they look around.
Looking at her clothes again, the animal skin skirt that was originally wrapped around her body and looked a little rough suddenly turned into an exquisite and fashionable miniskirt under the reflection of the white light.
The hem of her skirt swayed slightly, revealing Xia Yueke's slender and straight legs just right.
