Chapter 56 Blue Hair and Red Eyes
She swallowed nervously, staring at the monster unblinking, waiting for its answer.
After hearing this, the monster paused noticeably, its huge head shook slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in its eyes, like two burning flames flickering a few times.
"Ugly, not good, look!"
It spoke in a muffled voice, which echoed in the silent space with a sense of inferiority.
Hearing this, Xia Yueke immediately understood what this monster meant.
She tilted her head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It seemed that her guess was correct. This monster could transform, but it was unwilling to do so because it thought the human form was ugly.
"You mean your human form is ugly? So you don't like transforming into a human form?"
She asked cautiously, her voice clear and pleasant.
The monster nodded, its huge head shaking up and down like a heavy stone hammer. "No, look, no, don't."
Its tone was still harsh, but with a touch of determination.
Xia Yueke's mind was working rapidly, her eyes turned, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Although she was terrified, she still tried to make her voice sound seductive:
"Uncle, you know what? In our world, everyone thinks that being unique is the most beautiful."
"You haven't shown your human form to anyone, so how do you know they'll think you're ugly? Maybe they'll think you're the most unique and handsome!"
As he spoke, Xia Yueke pretended to walk around the monster, observing it and praising it:
"Look at your massive body and those mysterious lines. If you were to transform into a human form, you'd be incredibly majestic. If those lines were to become clothing decorations, it would be incredibly cool. Everyone would envy you."
The monster seemed a little shaken. A hint of doubt flashed in its scarlet eyes. It tilted its head and looked at Xia Yueke, and a low gurgling sound came from its throat.
Seeing this, Xia Yue struck while the iron was hot. She skipped closer to the monster, reached out and gently touched the monster's skin, and exclaimed as if she was admiring a work of art:
"Wow, your skin is so smooth. If you were to transform into a human form, you would definitely be the kind of handsome man that people would want to get close to!"
The monster trembled slightly, as if it was a little uncomfortable with Xia Yueke's touch, but did not dodge.
Xia Yueke continued:
"Besides, if you were to transform into a human form, we could communicate better. It's hard for you to talk now since you're so big. If you were to transform into a human form, we could talk about a lot of interesting things, like how many fun places and delicious foods there are in this world."
The hesitation in the monster's eyes grew even stronger. It lowered its huge head and looked at the tiny human, seemingly considering her words.
Xia Yueke's heart was beating like thunder. She stared at the monster nervously, her hands clenched tightly behind her back, her palms full of sweat.
She prayed silently in her heart: "Change quickly, you big guy."
After a long time, the monster said slowly: "Really?"
Xia Yueke nodded vigorously:
"Really? More real than pearls! If you don't believe me, try changing it first. If you don't like it, just change it back."
The monster was silent for a while, and its huge body began to emit a strange light. Its body gradually shrank, and its bones made a crackling sound. The light became brighter and brighter, and Xia Yueke couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.

Its body gradually shrank, its bones made crackling sounds, and the light became brighter and brighter. Xia Yueke couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.
The monster's shape changed, and the light enveloped it again.
Xia Yueke stared nervously. After the light gradually faded, a handsome man with blue hair and red eyes appeared in front of her.
His figure was as straight as a pine tree, and his long green hair fell to his waist like a waterfall. In the darkness, there seemed to be a faint light flowing.
He is at least 1.9 meters tall.
Those red eyes were like the finest rubies, deep and charming.
Under the high nose bridge is a pair of lips with beautiful lines, slightly pursed, as if there are thousands of words that she wants to say but cannot.
His face looked like it was carefully carved by the most skilled craftsman, with every line being just right and breathtakingly perfect.
Xia Yueke was stunned for a moment, as if a thousand deer were running around in her heart, and her mind was blank.
It took him a while to find his voice again, "Is this what you call ugly?"
She roared madly in her heart:
It's not this monster. What's going on? His human form is so beautiful, yet he calls it ugly! If this is ugly, then what else is beautiful in the world?
Does this guy have some strange misunderstanding of beauty and ugliness? Or is his aesthetic sense so different from ours?
The monster still nodded, "No, beautiful, ugly, our clan, all, don't, like, humanoid..."
His voice was still a little stiff, but there was a barely perceptible trace of sadness in his eyes.
"We are cursed to be born in human form."
He spoke slowly, looking at his hands as if they were the source of sin.
At this time, his heart was in deep conflict. On the one hand, the ideas passed down from generation to generation by his tribe made him full of disgust towards human form.
On the other hand, Xia Yueke's innocent and surprised eyes made him waver in the idea he had always believed in. Could it be that the human form is really as absolutely evil and ominous as the legend says?
Xia Yueke blinked in disbelief.
"A curse? How can it be a curse? You know, where we are, everyone desires to have such a beautiful appearance. Why do you think so?"
She took a few steps forward, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
She thought to herself, if it was a curse, since she looked so beautiful, then this curse would be too "sweet", there must be some hidden secret.
He frowned slightly, as if recalling something. "The legacy says that humanoids will bring disaster. We will lose our power."
His words were intermittent, but Xia Yueke roughly understood.
In their tribe's ancient cognition, the human form is an ominous symbol that will be accompanied by disaster and loss of power. That is why they hate their own human form so much, even though it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Xia Yueke bit her lip lightly and thought for a while.
"Perhaps it's just a legend? Look, nothing bad has happened to you now that you've become a human. Besides, you possess such a unique beauty. Perhaps this is a new beginning?"
She silently hoped in her heart that this monster would accept her advice, so that maybe the relationship between them could change. At least she would feel more comfortable watching it!
She never wanted to see his beast form again, it was too eye-catching!
