It was a sweet fragrance, like both fruit and flowers, a scent that held their hearts captive like a hook.
Four or five males ran very fast, afraid that the one who was late would miss out.
However, they only felt a shadow fly by in the sky, and before they could see who it was, they fainted from a pain in the back of their necks.
Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim.
When Lan found Xiao by the waterfall, she was knocked unconscious before she could even call out to him.
The alluring fragrance dissipated here, and Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this little guy wasn't too stupid after all.
He originally intended to stay on the shore, but his body moved uncontrollably and he jumped into the pool.
The deeper you go, the lower the water temperature becomes, and there's also a culvert from which icy water seeps out.
The air conditioning cleared his mind somewhat. Xiao subtly reassured himself that he was only confirming her safety before taking her back, and that he had no ulterior motives.
However, these righteous thoughts vanished instantly upon entering the underwater culvert and seeing the little creature curled up in the underground cavern.
Xia Yixin felt alternating chills and fever, and could only press herself against the cold cave surface to cool down.
My consciousness is hazy.
The temperature inside the cave was extremely low, and the owl's breath turned into water vapor.
Having not seen each other for more than ten days, he now felt more deeply that his longing for her was no longer able to be suppressed.
The recurring nightmares, those strange and peculiar places, those memories that didn't belong to him—though unclear, they gave him a strong intuition that she belonged to him.
He wanted to form a bond with her and become her true partner, but she was currently unconscious, and the two were unable to merge their spiritual energy.
Of course, there are other methods...
But after taking that first step, the owl changed his mind.
He couldn't force her.
The thought of her looking at him with fear and anger when she regained consciousness felt like a knife to his heart.
However, she was the one he loved.
At this moment, he was absolutely certain of this.
There must be another way!
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already right in front of him.
He suddenly thought of a method, and this idea made his handsome face flush red. He knew there was no time to hesitate; this was the best choice.
...
Much later.
The feather-like scales on his collarbone suddenly became red and painful.
He changed; his azure eyes turned cobalt blue, his body grew taller, and all traces of his beast form were gone. He had been transformed and officially became an adult.
Even the usually composed Xiao was shocked. Such a chance was extremely rare. He had been transformed by her through mere contact, without any contract or anything like that. It meant that his love for her surpassed everything, and he would follow her for life even without a contract.
This is a covenant of the soul.
Something that only exists in the legends of the Beast Spirit Clan.
Perhaps because of his previous actions, the blush on Xia Yixin's body was fading, and she was no longer squirming uncomfortably.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the beast spirit power within his body surge violently.
This special way of being transformed also improved his spiritual power level. He must suppress the riot and absorb more spiritual power as soon as possible, otherwise he will go crazy.
Despite the pain of being crushed and pricked by spiritual energy all over his body, he erased those marks one by one. After doing so, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
After placing her on another clean platform, he gazed intently at the sleeping little one.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but she seemed to have grown up a bit, with more delicate features, but she was still cute and soft, making him want to hold her all the time.
After giving her a lingering kiss on the forehead, he jumped into the pool, turning back every few steps.
He planned to find a place to fully absorb the beast spirit power first, raise his level to a higher level, and then come back to find her.
As soon as Xiaoli flew up, his eagle instincts led him to a high place. He eventually reached a cave on the top of the highest ice mountain in the distance. There, the snow was perpetual and the temperature was even lower than inside the culvert, but the surrounding spiritual energy was abundant, which allowed him to suppress the raging beast spiritual energy more quickly.
On the other side.
Xia Yixin slept in the culvert for several more hours before being woken up by the cold.
She sat up groggily, rubbing her sore neck, and was wondering why she had such a strange dream when she suddenly heard a system notification.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The male supporting character's happiness level has increased by 30, currently at 50!"
Why??
How happy is the male supporting character?
She had almost forgotten about the main quest.
But why did Xiao's happiness level increase? She sat up, and the faint, cool fragrance in the air confused her even more, but she was soon attracted by her own transformation.
The forearms and legs seemed to have grown longer, and the hands were more slender and shapely.
She was surprised to find that she had grown up.
The system excitedly said, "That's right, host. Theoretically speaking, you are now a fully grown female beast spirit and can reproduce."
"I understand that, but what about the male supporting character's happiness level?"
"Well... I'm bound to the host. Even when you're unconscious, I'm on standby. I just received this information, and anyway, growth is a good thing."
This garbage system is definitely not reliable.
Ignoring everything else, she swam out in one breath.
Lan, who had just regained consciousness on the shore, rushed to hug Xia Yixin as soon as she saw her, asking, "Sister Xia, are you alright!"
She immediately noticed the lingering panic on Lan's face.
"Lan, what exactly happened?"
Lan had just woken up and hadn't seen Xiao when she was knocked unconscious, but she was shocked to find several other unconscious adult males nearby after waking up. Lan immediately became alert.
