Chapter 164 Three Teenagers
Xia Yueke practiced in seclusion in the stone house. Time passed like a flash and a week went by in a blink of an eye.
During this week, she practiced hard day and night, but the improvement of her beast power was as slow as a snail.
"This is too difficult. I'm only a first-level orc now. How can I possibly level up so quickly?"
Xia Yueke finally couldn't bear the frustration in her heart, she shouted and ran out of the stone house like a bird out of a cage.
While stretching her body which had been stiff from sitting for so long, she looked up. Before she could see what Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan were busy with, she heard excited shouts that were almost breaking from outside the yard.
"Coco, we're becoming little beasts!"
The voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy. Before the words were finished, Duzi, Juanjuan and Rongqiu rushed in like a whirlwind.
What’s different from before is that Duzi, who was originally about the same height as Xia Yuke, has now grown like bamboo shoots to nearly 1.8 meters.
He stood tall and straight, radiating a new kind of confidence and heroism.
His originally childish face now had a bit more determination and maturity. His eyes were bright and lively, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and he was looking at Xia Yueke with a smile on his face.
Juanjuan was standing aside, her curly hair rising and falling like waves with her movements. Every strand of hair seemed to be kissed by the sun, shining with charming luster. Her fair and tender face was filled with a bright smile, and her lively big eyes were blinking, like crystal clear lake water, embedded in that exquisite face.
With her small and delicate nose and cherry lips, she looks like a cute elf walking out of a fairy tale world.
The ball of fluff has also changed from its original chubby appearance to its current thin and tall appearance, about 1.8 meters tall.
But the chubby tail behind him has not changed. It swings back and forth behind him like a playful little follower, adding a unique naivety and intimacy to him.
The three of them stood side by side, their postures straight and dignified. Their outstanding temperament and outstanding appearance made them like models walking out of a fashion magazine, emitting an eye-catching radiance that almost blinded Xia Yueke's fox eyes.
"You...how did you become young beastmen so quickly? And you grew so tall? I remember that the beastmen in their young beast class weren't this tall!"
Xia Yueke blinked in disbelief, her gaze darting back and forth between the three of them.
The appearance of the orcs in the young orc class that she had seen in Luo Cihe's class before clearly emerged in her mind. Those orcs looked like boys and girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, with immature bodies that had not yet fully grown.
At that time, the tallest was only 1.8 meters tall, most orcs were around 1.7 meters tall, and female orcs were generally around 1.6 meters tall. But Duzai, Juanjuan and Rongqiu in front of them seemed to be cast under a spell, breaking through the previous height limits in one fell swoop.
The ball of fluff now transformed into a tall man, slightly bent down, and looked down at Xia Yueke from a completely new perspective, with a sly smile on his face, which was full of mischief and complacency.
He reached out his hand, and with a bit of mischief and intimacy, he rubbed Xia Yueke's head, his fingers moving through her soft hair until Xia Yueke's carefully groomed hairstyle was messy like a bird's nest, and then he stopped with satisfaction.
"Haha, Keke, we don't know either. We've been practicing according to the method Luo Cihe taught us these days! We didn't expect that he would suddenly become like this this morning!"
The ball grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes that he himself had not noticed.
Juanjuan looked at Xia Yueke's surprised expression, and her heart warmed. She took a step forward, opened her arms, picked up Xia Yueke, and turned around happily twice.
His cloud-like curly hair naturally touched Xia Yueke's cheek, and the hair brushed against her gently. The itchy touch made Xia Yueke couldn't help but giggle.
"That's right. It scared us, but we got used to it after a while. I didn't expect growing up to be so good. Looking at you is like looking at a little kid!"
Juanjuan gently put Xia Yueke down, with his hands still on her shoulders. His bright eyes curved into crescents, and he teased with a smile.
Xia Yueke opened her mouth slightly, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
"No? Why didn't I become a young beast? I've been practicing for a long time!"
Xia Yue was so angry, this was too difficult. Before, Duzi and the others were faster in transforming, and now even turning into a young beast was difficult!
Xia Yueke looked at the three little guys in front of her with an unhappy face. No, now she should call them little boys!
Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan heard the noise outside, put down the tools they were using to build the hot spring pool, and hurried over.
Qian Jingyao couldn't help but smile when he saw Xia Yueke's angry look. He walked forward, patted Xia Yueke's shoulder gently, and said softly:
"Keke, cultivation can't be rushed. They might just be one step ahead by chance. You have your own pace, so there's no need to be too upset."
Qing Yan nodded in agreement, but his eyes showed a hint of curiosity at the changes in Duzi and the others. He scratched his head and said in a muffled voice:
"They've really changed a lot, but Yue, I'm sure you'll be soon too."
As he spoke, he did not forget to glare at Duzai and the other two who were surrounding Xia Yuke and laughing, as if blaming them for making Xia Yuke unhappy.
When Rongqiu saw Qian Jingyao and Qingyan, he restrained his playfulness a little.
His big furry tail no longer swung wildly, and his ears drooped slightly, but his eyes were still staring at the two of them with bright eyes.
"Okay, Coco, you'll definitely become like us soon!"
As Rongqiu spoke, he exaggeratedly gestured the height difference between Qian Jingyao and Qing Yan, as if he was measuring Xia Yueke's future height.
Xia Yue was so angry at Duzi's behavior that her face turned red and her cheeks puffed up.
She ran to Qian Jingyao, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes, "Yaoyao, do you think I'm too stupid?"
But she was secretly wondering in her heart, could it be that her human soul and orc body were incompatible?
Is that why she's always one step behind the others? This thought hung over her mind like a dark cloud.
Qian Jingyao couldn't help laughing when he saw Xia Yueke's expression. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a row of white teeth. "Keke, stop imagining things. You're so smart, how could you be stupid?"
He patted Xia Yueke's shoulder gently, trying to comfort her.
"By the way, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Look at what Qingyan and I are doing."
Qian Jingyao took Xia Yueke's hand and walked to a corner of the yard.
I saw that a shallow pit had been dug on the ground, with some stones of different sizes and several bundles of bamboo tubes for drainage piled next to it.
"We found that our yard is just big enough for a hot spring. It's so cold now, and Coco can even soak in it! How comfortable!"
Qian Jingyao's eyes were shining with excitement, as if he had already seen the steaming scene after the hot spring was built.
