Chapter 376 Honesty and Adjustment
No one cared how much trouble Cang Jin was having, but Cang Ji wasn't having any trouble at all. After parting ways with Le Zhi and Ji Ying, he immediately contacted Le Chu and told him about Le Zhi's second form.
"...So it seems that Lezhi is very likely a child of the aquatic race, and the mother tree may have made a mistake in the chaos." Neither he nor Lechu knew that Lezhi could freely switch wings, and he was now happily poking at Lechu's heart.
Poor Le Chu, after a busy day, the tribe had just experienced an earthquake and then suddenly so many bird tribes moved in. They had finally managed to repel the insect swarm, and now they finally had time to settle the birds and beasts. As the tribe leader, although Le Chu did not need to do everything personally, he still had a lot to do.
His planned trip to the Endless Abyss was canceled, and before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he received a message from Cang Ji that he had suddenly gained a second form, which was no small matter.
Without getting entangled with Cang Ji, Le Chu immediately contacted Le Zhi, wanting to hear what the person involved had to say.
Therefore, not long after returning home, Lezhi received a call from the clan leader. They had just finished washing up, Leixiu was busy making dinner in the kitchen, and Lezhi was responsible for feeding Kele and Maoqiu first. They had also been hungry all day, especially Kele, who was in a rapid growth period and needed extra nutrition during her molting.
"Cola, you have to finish those, okay? You can't be picky about food."
The two little guys have gotten used to eating with them. Now they like to pick and choose their raw food. Lezhi doesn't spoil them. They can eat cooked food, but they still have to eat raw food. Birds and animals can't lose their survival skills in the wild. If they encounter an accident and Cola and Maoqiu accidentally get separated from them, at least they won't starve to death in the wild because they don't like eating raw food.
After signaling to Cola with her eyes that he must obediently finish the food he gave her, Lezhi was finally able to focus on talking to Lechu. "Clan leader, I'm sorry, we just got back. You can say what you wanted to say now."
Le Chu didn't blame Le Zhi for not concentrating. He had watched Le Zhi grow up since he was a child, so he knew Le Zhi's personality. He rarely focused on one thing completely, and his mind would often wander while he was talking. Le Chu was used to it. It was okay if his mind wandered; he could just bring it back.
“I heard from Cang Ji that you have a second form unique to the aquatic race.” The flower on her wrist flickered with Le Chu’s tone. Le Zhi curiously raised her hand to touch the petals and casually replied, “Hmm, does that mean I also have a fish tail? Yes.”
The answer was rather casual, as if he didn't consider it a big deal.
Realizing that Yuezhi had no intention of hiding anything, Yuechuxin understood. If this had happened to other members of the clan, it would naturally have been a rare and significant event, but Yuezhi was different from the very beginning.
After Lezhi suddenly grew wings during his second growth spurt, Lechu had a vague premonition that Lezhi's growth would not stop there. However, at the time, he only thought that Lezhi's talent ceiling might be relatively high. Later, the news brought back by Leshan and Lezhong also confirmed this.
Unexpectedly, Lezhi was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
The second form, indeed! Now, Lezhi truly deserves to be called the number one.
"Is having a second form a big deal?" Lezhi asked, since aquatic creatures aren't born with it.
"It's not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either. It depends on how you think about it. In my opinion, you are still you, and that's the most important thing." Le Chu's voice was a little distorted through the vine, but it was still very clear. Le Zhi could even guess Le Chu's expression from his tone of voice. It was definitely still his usual gentle and mild demeanor.
That's why Lezhi really enjoys talking to Lechu. No matter how far beyond common sense the topic is, Lechu remains as steady as a mountain in front of him, as if nothing in the world can shake his mind.
“Le Chu, I didn’t have a chance to tell you before…” Without realizing it, Le Zhi thought of the fact that he could freely transform his wings. This matter should have spread throughout the Lingquan Clan by now, but he hadn’t told Le Chu yet.
Having already planned to be honest, Lezhi simply took this opportunity to tell Lechu everything in detail.
Standing beside the mother vine, Le Chu listened quietly as Le Zhi shared about the changes in his body. When he heard that Le Zhi could conjure the wings of the Windwalker Clan, Le Chu only raised his eyebrows slightly, without any other reaction, and even the change in his eyes was very subtle.
It wasn't until Lezhi mentioned that he suddenly became a glutton after waking up that Lechu frowned slightly. "You said you always feel hungry. Can you describe that feeling in detail?"
Unexpectedly, after saying so much, Le Chu finally focused on how much he ate. Le Zhi was a little confused, but still honestly recalled, "Well, I was hungry, extremely hungry, especially when I saw or smelled food. I would get very excited, and at that time, all I could think about was how to fill my stomach."
"Chirp chirp~"
"Hey, what do you mean by saying I became scary back then, Furball?"
"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp chirp~"
After watching Kele eat obediently, Maoqiu snuggled up next to Lezhi. Hearing Lezhi mention his behavior when he was hungry, Maoqiu provided Lezhi with new clues from an observer's perspective.
"You said my eyes turned red, are they?"
"Chirp chirp~" Some of them were so red that I almost thought they were going to be eaten.
When Maoqiu mentioned this, Heidoudou's eyes flashed with lingering fear, and her body involuntarily shivered, her fear was very obvious.
"What did Maoqiu say?" Lechu's voice came. Lezhi stroked Maoqiu's fur with guilt and relayed what Maoqiu had said to him to Lechu.
"I didn't know it was like that back then. I didn't realize anything was wrong." Lezhi's answer was somewhat uncertain. He really didn't feel anything was wrong. At that time, he just felt hungry, nothing else.
As for the furry ball saying it felt like it was going to be eaten, that was impossible. He was quite certain that he hadn't lost his mind at the time; he was hungry, but not to the point of wanting to eat everything he saw.
After a long silence, Le Chu's gentle voice came from Zi Teng again, "According to your own account, you were very clear-headed at the time, and you knew what you were doing. The reason Mao Qiu was scared was simply because your behavior was so different from usual. I think it will be fine once you get used to it. It's normal to feel uncomfortable at first. When you met Mao Qiu, you were still a cub who didn't know anything. You've grown up too fast, and Mao Qiu is just a little unaccustomed to it."
Le Chu's words were like the steady sound of a piano, melodious and gentle, seemingly harmless, yet each note struck Le Zhixin's heart. Her previously somewhat dejected mood instantly lifted.
With a slight smile, Lezhi slumped onto the cushion, resting its head against the furry ball's soft belly. The furry ball, which had just said it was afraid of him, now showed no sign of flinching. Clearly, what had happened before hadn't changed Lezhi's place in its heart.
Le Chu was absolutely right. He grew up too fast, so Mao Qiu wasn't used to it. But as long as they stayed together, their feelings would only deepen, and the temporary discomfort would be eliminated by time.
"I understand. By the way, how are the birds and beasts getting along with their people? You said they decided to stay, did they have any conflicts?" Thinking about how she and Maoqiu had been together for so long, and how they still needed to adjust to each other when things changed, Lezhi thought of the birds and beasts who had fled with them.
Hearing that Lezhi was concerned about the clan, Lechu's face lit up with a smile, and even her voice became much lighter, "Don't worry, everyone gets along very well. When you come back, you'll find a completely different clan..."
