Deep in the mountains, Yunqi found a secluded valley and set up arrays and restrictions around it to prevent anyone from accidentally entering.
"Xiao Qi, are you ready?"
"Um!"
After Xiao Qi swallowed the Transformation Pill, golden light emanated from her, enveloping her completely... The surrounding spiritual energy continuously surged towards Xiao Qi...
Why does it feel like there's not enough spiritual energy? Yun Qi quickly set up several spirit-gathering arrays, attracting all the surrounding spiritual energy...
It seems that things aren't going well for Xiao Qi in the golden light...
Yunqi was getting anxious, sensing that the spiritual energy around her was becoming increasingly thin...
Does transformation require so much spiritual energy?! I should have let Xiao Qi return to the God Realm to transform...
It's too late to regret it now!
Yunqi began to release her divine power, allowing Xiaoqi to absorb it and help it take human form...
Until the golden light slowly receded, enveloping Xiao Qi within it...
Yunqi stood by quietly, waiting...
A phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and golden light shot into the heavens!
As the golden light faded, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old threw herself into Yun Qi's arms: "Qi Qi, I've finally taken human form!"
"Okay." Yunqi gestured for Xiaoqi to calm down. "Congratulations on your successful transformation! The spiritual rain is about to fall, go and get ready!"
"Um!"
Xiao Qi sat cross-legged, and the auspicious clouds above her head grew thicker and thicker. Soon, spiritual rain began to fall, and the surrounding spiritual energy became increasingly dense.
As Yunqi sensed the abundant spiritual energy around her, the Spirit Gathering Array began to operate even faster.
Xiao Qi controlled the spiritual rain to continuously cleanse herself, and her cultivation level continued to improve!
After the rain stopped, a large patch of colorful clouds appeared in the sky...
Xiao Qi excitedly rushed into Yun Qi's arms again, and only then did Yun Qi have time to take a good look at Xiao Qi's appearance. After transforming, Xiao Qi was dressed in a fiery red dress, and her appearance was surprisingly three or four parts similar to her own.
"Qiqi, do I look pretty now?" Xiaoqi happily spun around in front of Yunqi.
"It looks good! It even looks a bit like me... If we walked together, people would definitely think we were family."
"Hehe, we're family after all!"
Xiaoqi is still very curious about her human body, running and jumping around, picking flowers and plants...
The auspicious signs from the sky can help cultivators in the human realm determine their approximate location, but she has set up many restrictions around this place, so they really can't find it for a while.
Yunqi didn't urge her, simply letting Xiaoqi play a little longer...
After a short while, Xiao Qi lost interest: "Qiqi, human appearances aren't fun! They can't fly!"
“Who says you can’t fly? Cultivators can fly on swords, but I can fly directly without a sword.”
“That’s different! Now that you’re a god, of course you can fly directly. Human cultivators can’t fly directly; they need tools.” Xiao Qi pouted. “It’s better to be the Vermilion Bird; you can fly directly.”
As she spoke, Xiao Qi transformed back into the Vermilion Bird, then slowly shrank back to land on Yun Qi's shoulder: "It's more comfortable this way."
"...I'm glad you like it." Yun Qi reached out and patted Xiao Qi's head before leading Xiao Qi away from the valley.
The border between the human realm and the demon realm is in the far north. The far north is extremely cold and covered in ice and snow all year round. Few humans live here. The demon realm lies below the abyss at the very edge. It is very difficult for low-level demons to climb out of the abyss. In addition, the abyss exit is protected by a barrier, so low-level demons cannot come up at all.
Yunqi came to the far north to check if the seal on the Demon Realm had been broken, and also to see if any demons had infiltrated the human world.
Although Yunqi was not afraid of the cold of the far north, having Xiaoqi as a natural hand warmer still made her feel quite warm and comfortable.
Yunqi carefully reviewed the plot again. There were still a hundred years until the war between gods and demons. Of course, it could not be ruled out that the butterfly effect caused by Yunqi's arrival might bring it forward or postpone it.
It's always good to check beforehand.
The sealing barrier was intact, and there were no signs of damage to the entrance.
Before leaving, Yun Qi scanned the barrier with her divine sense one last time... confirming once again that the sealing barrier was intact, Yun Qi prepared to depart.
"Qiqi, I can feel a faint breath over there."
"Let's go take a look."
Yunqi rushed forward and saw a small, thin figure lying in the snow. The little person looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, but was frozen stiff and was now on the verge of death.
Yunqi's hands moved faster than her mind, and she directly used a spell to warm his body.
Considering that Bai Ziyu, whom she had previously brought back to the God Realm, was an ungrateful fox, Yun Qi didn't want to adopt anyone else. If this person turned out to be another ungrateful wretch, she would truly be a terrible victim. Once is enough; there's no need to do it again.
However, it wasn't in her nature to just watch the child fend for himself...
"Qiqi, what should we do with this child?"
Yunqi decided to settle down in a human town first and wait for him to wake up before making any further plans.
"Let's settle down in the nearest town first, and when the child wakes up, we'll ask him if his family is still there."
Yunqi wrapped the child in a warm cloak, picked him up, and used her teleportation abilities to reach the vicinity of the town. She then found an inn to settle the child in.
The innkeeper, quite perceptive, booked a superior room for Yunqi: "Fairy, our inn has prepared some food; please enjoy it."
Looking at the table full of food, Yunqi wasn't in a hurry to eat. The child, who had slept enough in bed, sniffed the aroma of the food.
The child sat up, looked at himself, and then looked around...
"Awake?" Yunqi poured herself a cup of tea. "Come and have something to eat."
The child didn't stand on ceremony, plopped down opposite Yunqi, said "Thank you, sister," and started eating heartily...
The child finished eating, put down his chopsticks, patted his belly, and let out a satisfied burp.
This is like someone who doesn't consider themselves an outsider at all!
"Are you full?"
"I'm full, thank you, sister."
"Go to the inner room to wash up first. There are clean clothes to change into. Come out and see me when you're done. I have something to ask you."
"Okay, sister."
While the child was washing up, Yunqi asked Xiaoqi: Xiaoqi, do you know who this child is?
Xiaoqi: What kind of identity could I have? Aren't I just a human child?
Yunqi: Why does he seem familiar? I'm sure I've never seen him in this world before. Xiaoqi, you should still look him up.
Xiaoqi: ...Let me check...Huh? Strange...I can't find his identity?! His identity is showing up as "???" (three question marks) on my end.
Yunqi: How could this be?!
Xiaoqi: If I can't find out, it's very likely because his level is higher than mine, or he's not from this world. Either way, it's not good news…
Yunqi seemed lost in thought...
"Sister, I'm done washing." The little boy stood awkwardly in front of Yunqi.
Yunqi snapped out of her reverie and met the boy's eyes, feeling an even stronger sense of familiarity. Those eyebrows and eyes... they resembled Xiao Mo, yet they weren't quite Xiao Mo...
If it were Xiao Mo, he couldn't possibly not recognize him.
