Chapter 195 I've Grown Wings!
With Qing Jin's clear instructions, the previously carefree group immediately changed their demeanor, quickly and efficiently restoring the mess they had made to its original state.
Lei Xiu, whose combat strength was higher than Qing Jin's and who had previously been subtly at the center of the team, didn't say much. Although Le Zhi had regained consciousness, the previous events still left Lei Xiu with lingering fears, and his entire attention was now focused on Le Zhi.
The group was used to sleeping in the wild. This time, Lezhi was taken into the nurturing ground for treatment by Lei Xiu, and they chose to wait outside because they were afraid that too many people would disturb the mother tree.
There was no place to stay in the birthplace, and the vines could not withstand the power of the mother tree at such close range. Therefore, the tree spirits who came here to protect the mother tree tried to build some houses nearby using stones and dry wood for rest.
The Thunder Clan member who brought them in invited them to rest over there, but Qing Jin declined. Considering various factors, Qing Jin decided to camp nearby, wanting to get news of Le Zhi as soon as possible.
While Lezhi and the others were in the Land of Conception, they didn't feel that time was passing very quickly, but in reality, Qingjin and the others had been waiting outside for a full day and night.
After packing up, everyone looked at Lezhi and then at the package in front of his chest.
Hmm, it seems they've forgotten something.
"Um, Maoqiu hasn't woken up yet. So, who should get around to getting Lezhi a ride? Let me make it clear, I can do it." It has to be said that Leman can be quite brave at times.
While spouting wild words, he secretly observed Lei Xiu's expression. Sure enough, after hearing him offer to be Le Zhi's chauffeur, a strange look appeared on Lei Xiu's face.
His gossip instincts were reignited, and he was utterly satisfied. Even if he was targeted afterward for gossiping about Lei Xiu, he was willing to accept it.
Having grown up with Le Man since childhood, Le Yun, who knew his temperament inside and out, glanced at him and immediately realized that although he meant what he said, he was actually trying to stir up trouble.
Being able to get along with Le Man means that there must be something in common between them. So, although Le Yun didn't say anything, she moved closer to Le Man to show her support through her actions.
The internal communication among the Spirit Feather Clan was baffling. Qingze thought that Le Man was genuinely considering how to get Le Zhi to travel, so he enthusiastically volunteered, "Me too, I can do it too. Besides, I've flown with Le Zhi before, so he should be able to get used to it."
Well, Lei Xiu, who was already somewhat dissatisfied with Le Man's suggestion, immediately became much more profound upon hearing Qing Ze's self-destruction. Many emotions flashed through his eyes in a short period of time, all of which were hidden by Lei Xiu's half-closed eyelids. Only when he raised his eyes at the last moment did he reveal some of his emotions.
Lei Xiu's cold glance at Qing Ze went unnoticed by the person involved, but was caught by Qing Ping, who was watching the commotion. Feeling a chill run down her spine for Qing Ze, Qing Ping shifted her body away from the impending chaos, fearing she might be caught in the crossfire.
Unaware of the unusual atmosphere, Lezhi had already guessed that everyone was worried about Maoqiu's transportation when he heard Leman worrying about him. It was only then that he remembered that he hadn't told everyone present that he had grown wings.
It wasn't that they were deliberately hiding it, but showing off their wings for no reason would be too conspicuous, something Lezhi couldn't do.
After they came out, everyone had so much to say, so it was normal that he couldn't think of anything for a moment. He pursed his lips and exchanged a knowing glance with Lei Xiu, the only one who knew the truth. Encouraged by Lei Xiu, Le Zhi cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention.
"Ahem, everyone..." Seeing that everyone's eyes had been successfully drawn to him, Lezhi forced an embarrassed smile, but didn't speak. Instead, he moved to an empty spot to the side, and amidst the questioning gazes of the crowd, with a "whoosh," dazzling wings unfurled from behind him.
Because of the downy feathers that adorn the wings of the Spirit Feather Clan, they always have a soft glow when displayed. The wings of their clan are usually colorful and come in a variety of hues, so solid-colored wings like Lezhi's are relatively rare.
So far in the clan, before Lezhi, only the clan leader Lechu had pure pearl-white wings. Hair color is closely related to wing color. Lezhi has long silver-white hair, and many people have thought that if Lezhi could grow wings, they would surely be very beautiful and pure white wings.
"It seems everyone's previous thoughts were correct..." Surprise materialized in her eyes. Le Yun thought of what everyone had been secretly discussing and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Compared to the birthplace, which is shaded by sunlight and only receives the green light of the mother tree's power, the natural light here is much more abundant. The silvery-white wings shimmer in the sunlight, flashing different colors from different angles as the wings flutter, adding a touch of brilliance to the wings.
“Lezhi, you…” Leman swallowed hard, still in a state of surprise. He needed more time to calm down because the matter of Lezhi’s disabled son had already deeply affected him. So it was Qingping who spoke first.
She cautiously took two steps forward to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then Qingping's voice suddenly rose an octave as she shouted the rest of her words, "You've grown wings!"
"Mmm~" Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Lezhi's eyes narrowed with a smile. Knowing that everyone was happy for him, he didn't hesitate at all and cheerfully approached the crowd, turning his back so that they could see him clearly.
"I suddenly grew wings after I woke up. How about that? Not bad, right?" As Lezi spoke, her wings proudly flapped, showing off her presence from every angle.
Turning his back, Lezhi's wings were displayed more clearly, which brought Leman, who was still in a state of surprise, back to his senses. He subconsciously nodded in agreement with Lezhi's words, and then realized that Lezhi might not have seen them, so he quickly added.
"Not only is it good, Lezhi, you have six wings! In our clan, six-winged people aren't something you can just grab anywhere." If you don't count the long whiskers that are considered "decorative," there are indeed three pairs of wings that can be used for flight. Lezhi counted them repeatedly to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
As for those whiskers, well, the tree spirits have countless wings, and each person's wings are different, each with its own characteristics. Perhaps these whiskers are Lezhi's unique feature. Leman didn't have time to dwell on it now, and instantly found a reasonable explanation for Lezhi in her mind.
The main point now is that Lezhi has grown wings, and what's more, a rare six wings at that. If the clan leader and the others knew, they would be overjoyed. They never expected that bringing Lezhi to the Mother Tree for treatment would also stimulate his wing regeneration; it's an unexpected delight.
"If I had known, I should have had the clan chief bring you here to pray to the Mother Tree after finding you. Maybe you would have grown wings by now..."
"Snapped……"
Seeing that Le Man's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Le Yun didn't tolerate him and slapped him on the back of the head, making him shudder.
"Ouch..." A sharp pain shot through her, and Le Man instinctively covered her head, about to erupt, "Who, ouch, Le Yun, why did you hit me..."
Originally, he wanted to get angry, but when he saw Yue Yun's cold eyes, his anger was immediately extinguished. His tone was not at all righteous, and he realized that he had just talked nonsense.
"You're so good at talking, spouting nonsense." She glared at Le Man. Normally, it would be one thing for Le Man to flirt with his own people, but today Qing Jin and the others were there, and Le Yun didn't want him to embarrass himself in front of their friends.
So they applied extra force, and the results were, of course, exceptionally good...
