I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 193 Habit

Satisfied with Lei Xiu's straightforward praise, Le Zhi spun around in front of Lei Xiu, showing him the existence of her wings from all angles, and was overjoyed.

"By the way, where are we now? What happened? You look really tired~"

After waking from her coma, Lezhi expressed her emotions much more directly. Her increased sense of self-identity also made her more accepting of the world.

This manifests as a greater sense of openness in terms of maintaining a safe distance from the environment and people. Lezhi is no longer as cautious as before when facing everything around her.

The current Lezhi is more like a newborn cub of the tree spirit clan, naturally possessing the fearless spirit of a newborn calf.

“You were caught in a whirlwind and fell into a coma. We had no choice but to bring you to your birthplace to seek help from the Mother Tree.”

He briefly explained the current situation to Lezhi and also informed her that Qingjin and the others were accompanying them and were waiting for them outside.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry to have troubled everyone with my situation." Lezhi pursed her lips apologetically. Although she had seen everything that had happened before in the cocoon of light, she hadn't seen the part where she was swept up by the wind, so she only realized what had happened to her now.

Thinking of this, Lezhi frowned, feeling that something was amiss. He could already recall all the memories of the past, so why had he missed that particular part? Was there something he couldn't yet know?

The green light hiding in the branches seemed to sense Lezhi's confusion, flickering slightly, a movement so subtle that it went unnoticed by Lei Xiu and Lezhi.

Forget it, he's sober now anyway. We can think about these things later. In any case, he'll find out everything at the right time. There's no need to rush.

Although Lezhi, who isn't particularly persistent, had his doubts, he didn't dwell on them. To put it nicely, he's Buddhist-like; to put it bluntly, he's lazy.

As long as it doesn't affect what's happening now, Lezhi is too lazy to get to the bottom of it. Besides, even if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, he has no clue at the moment, so he simply keeps quiet about it.

Seeing the wide range of expressions on Lezhi's face, Lei Xiu finally realized that Lezhi was truly awake. He tried to hold back, but couldn't resist. Lei Xiu raised his hand and stroked Lezhi's head twice. When he withdrew his hand, he casually tidied Lezhi's slightly messy bangs and gently brushed his fingers across Lezhi's cheek.

"It's alright. We're all from the same tribe. They're just concerned about you. Any member of our tribe would do the same if they needed to, so don't take it to heart."

Lei Xiu's actions wouldn't have been out of place when Le Zhi was still a cub, but now that Le Zhi has entered pre-adolescent stage and is about to become an adult, doing so would be somewhat ambiguous.

However, no one has specifically reminded Lezhi of this point yet, and Lei Xiu, being an adult, also didn't remind Lezhi because of his own secret thoughts.

Since there was no feedback from the external environment, Lezhi could only rely on his own senses. He did not feel uncomfortable about Lei Xiu's approach, so he did not react to Lei Xiu's actions.

Seeing this, Lei Xiu's lips curled up slightly. Having lived for so long, he naturally understood that sometimes, no reaction was the best reaction.

"Okay, let's go out quickly, everyone must be getting impatient."

Let Lei Xiu fix her hair. All Le Zhi wanted to do was get out of there as soon as possible. The thought of her clansmen and friends waiting outside made her feel uncomfortable, as she felt she had caused them a lot of trouble.

"Good~"

He agreed verbally, but Lei Xiu didn't move. Instead, he looked at Le Zhi as if he was waiting for something.

Lezhi, puzzled by the stare, raised an eyebrow and looked down at herself. Her clothes were intact, and there was nothing particularly rude about them. What was Lei Xiu waiting for?

"What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"

"Hehe~" Lei Xiu couldn't help but chuckle when he found Lezhi's reaction adorable. Then he raised his hand and gestured behind him, "Aren't you going to put your wings away? It might be inconvenient to go on the way like this."

After all, the area is covered with branches and vines from the mother tree, and the area that Yuezhi's wings spread out is quite large, so walking around like this would be too conspicuous.

"Ah..." Only after Lei Xiu pointed it out so bluntly did Le Zhi realize that his wings were still spread out wide open, something he hadn't even noticed himself.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice..."

After a lighthearted apology, Lezhi began trying to retract her wings. However, her usually understanding wings seemed to have no connection with her now; despite her efforts, they only flickered and showed no sign of retracting.

"..."

This is awkward!

With her eyes wide open, Le Zhi looked at Lei Xiu and slowly forced a bitter smile.

"Um, what should I do, Lei Xiu? It seems he doesn't know how to fold his wings~"

"...?!"

Even if Lezhi didn't ask for help, Lei Xiu had already guessed some of the situation. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his expression remained calm.

Although this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, Lei Xiu remained much calmer in the face of the somewhat flustered Le Zhi.

Lezhi has already overcome the most difficult step and has experienced successfully growing wings. He just doesn't know how to use them, which is a small matter.

“It’s okay, we’ll take it slowly. First, imagine in your mind that you need to fold your wings, and then try to feel your wings with your heart…” Lei Xiu racked his brains to find the trick from the actions he had done countless times, and then chose the right words to convey it to Le Zhi.

As members of the tree spirit race, they are born with wings and can fly naturally, though their skill levels vary. However, to be honest, this is the first time Lei Xiu has encountered someone who can't fold their wings, just like how Le Zhi could fly but couldn't land.

Those were things Lei Xiu was born with, and he didn't know why Le Zhi couldn't. He attributed it all to the fact that Le Zhi's wings grew after hatching, without giving it much thought.

Even within his own clan, Lei Xiu's personality wasn't suited to raising cubs, so this was the first time he had taught someone how to familiarize themselves with their own wings. Fortunately, he was experienced, articulate, and quick-witted.

Furthermore, since it was facing Lezhi, although the process was a bit tortuous, Lezhi still successfully understood Lei Xiu's meaning and successfully folded his wings under his guidance.

"Very good. Remember this feeling, practice it repeatedly until it becomes an unconscious reaction. That's when you've truly mastered it." No matter what technique it is, as long as you keep practicing, you'll become familiar with it. You can't go wrong with this one.

Lezhi nodded in understanding. He was good at learning and summarizing experience. He just hadn't quite grasped the concept of his newly grown wings yet, but once he got the hang of it, he learned very quickly.

After the wings behind him opened and closed several times, Lei Xiu finally nodded in agreement that Le Zhi had completely mastered the technique.

"How about it? I'm not stupid, am I? I was just not very familiar with it before~" Lezhi said to Lei Xiu with a big smile, her voice sweet and coquettish, like a child eager to find recognition.

"Yes, Lezhi is very smart. Her wings have already grown, so she can learn slowly from now on. I will teach her everything I know, so don't rush." ​​Following Lezhi's words, Lei Xiu promised. He didn't realize that his eyes were so gentle at that moment that they seemed to be dripping with water.

Despite being looked at like that by Lei Xiu, Le Zhi was oblivious to anything unusual. He was already overjoyed when he heard Lei Xiu praise him for being smart.

"Okay, hehe, let's hurry up and go out now, Qingjin and the others must be getting impatient..." With that, Lezhi lifted her foot to leave.

"Oh, right."

Before he had even stepped out of the entrance to the place of gestation, Lezhi seemed to remember something and turned back. He already knew that the branches here were all branches of the mother tree, so he reached out and touched a leaf nearby, his eyelids slightly closed as he murmured a soft farewell.

"Goodbye, Mother Tree, and thank you~ I'll come to see you again when I have the chance."
