The commendation ceremony will begin in a few days.

Even Herbert, who had followed his father to the military headquarters, returned to the squadron villa and brought back the military uniforms sponsored by the Crown Prince.

Four members of the five-person team are here, only Jing Xia is missing.

There were also two non-staff members of the team present: Pruno and ai Baixu.

After Herbert and his men experienced this war, especially after bathing in the dragon flame, they grew taller.

Several people between teenagers and young adults tried on formal attire and stood in the villa hall, looking at each other.

Herbert was the oldest of them and the first to reach adulthood.

His black hair was trimmed into a neat short bob, and his well-defined muscles were hidden under the slim-fitting dress. His dark skin was even more restrained against the black dress. Perhaps it was because he had been following his father recently, but his temperament had become much calmer. His light green eyes were smiling at his friend whom he had not seen for a few days.

Lan Huaili had also grown a lot taller. Wearing a light-colored dress, he stood next to Pruno, the tallest of the group. He was actually only slightly shorter than Pruno, with the top of his head even reaching Pruno's nose bridge!

Milje and August, the shortest people in the audience, sat on the sofa nearby, adjusting the accessories on each other's dresses, indicating that they did not want to bother with the other two.

What have these two guys been eating lately?! How did they grow so much?

Lan Huaili couldn't help laughing when she saw that the usually calm August was now pulling at the tassels on Milje's clothes in frustration.

Pruno didn't understand the thought processes of these humans. Didn't Milje ask Huaili to come back and live here before?

Why are you a little unhappy now that you're back?

Pruno lowered his head to Lan Huaili's ear and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What happened to these two people?"

Lan Huaili, who had already wanted to laugh, tried to hold back her smile even more after hearing what Pruno said.

Don’t ask, if you ask, it means you are insular about your height.

Herbert laughed out loud, and his white teeth showing shattered his calm appearance, and he returned to his previous carefree self.

Hearing the laughter, Milje's brown eyes widened immediately, like a puppy with its fur standing on end. A strand of golden hair stood up on his head. He stood up in defiance and strode to Herbert.

Herbert crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows as Milger approached.

What does this guy want to do?

The closer Milje got to Herbert, the weaker his aura became. When he reached Herbert, he found that his hair had already fallen back to his head before he even reached Herbert's chin.

Milje looked up and glanced at Herbert without saying a word.

Herbert grinned. "What's wrong?"

Herbert didn't just smile, he even raised his hand and pulled Milje's hair.

Milje felt his scalp tighten: ...

The fist is hard.

Ai Baixu, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, crossed his long legs and looked over curiously, wanting to see what this usually cheerful little guy would do to his friend.

Milje was silent and turned around.

Miljewang burst into tears and threw himself into August's arms.

"Ougst, they bullied me, woooo ...

Herbert: "Puff."

August sighed helplessly, rubbed Milje's head, and comforted him and himself: "It's okay, we are not adults yet, we can still grow."

Miljie turned to look at Lan Huaili after hearing this. There was not a tear on his face, only confusion and bewilderment: "What happened to Huaili? When he just came back, he wasn't that tall!"

How come after going to Pruno, he came back with a different head!

Lan Huaili coughed lightly and touched the tip of his nose: "For some reason, my body reached adulthood early."

Pruno also thought about the reason and the corners of his mouth curled up a little.

Milje saw this slight arc as provocative and malicious. After glaring at Pruno with courage, he asked Lan Huaili suspiciously, "Is it because of... this guy?"

Lan Huaili's fair face flushed red, and she stammered: "No... a little bit..."

August pushed Milje off him, straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and asked, "Is it because of Xiaoxia's flame?"

Lan Huaili nodded.

Pruno reached out and patted Lan Huaili's shoulder, helping him out. "That flame stimulated the bloodline in Huaili's body. Combined with the resonance of our spiritual powers earlier, his body functions directly entered adulthood."

This was something he had not expected. He didn't know if it was because of his nervousness, but Lan Huaili had no problems on the battlefield.

But once he returned to the Empire, when Lan Huaili came to his residence, she was smiling at him one second and fainted the next.

Pruno, who had just opened the door to greet Lan Huaili, only had time to catch the unconscious Lan Huaili, and his face was full of confusion.

Fortunately, he had experienced a transformation period. He held Lan Huaili and examined him. After finding that his condition was the same as his own transformation period, he felt relieved. After settling him down, he stayed with Lan Huaili until he woke up.

Fortunately, Lan Huaili woke up after only two days of sleep, and his body successfully entered adulthood.

After Lan Huaili woke up, the two of them went to the military clinic to see the previous military doctor for a check-up. Everything was normal, but the military doctor, with shining eyes, almost kept him to do experiments.

Thinking of the military doctor's inquiring gaze, Lan Huaili and Pruno shuddered at the same time.

August nodded thoughtfully.

Ai Baixu looked at Lan Huaili and Pruno standing together with great interest, and explained to August like a patient teacher, "The coming-of-age ceremony for the people of Planet Aquamarine requires baptism back on Planet Aquamarine. During the ceremony, the priest guides a stream of energy from the ocean into the body of the Aquamarine... Only after the baptism can the body functions of the Aquamarine be considered adult."
