Chapter 181: Chapter 176 Shock ... When he saw the boy, Yan Xiaobao was taken aback, but he quickly adjusted his smile. Who would have guessed that Lan Feng was actually a ten-year-old boy. Although Yan Xiaobao was shocked, this world was already full of surprises, and after witnessing the recent display, he no longer felt astonished. "Idiot," Lan Feng said loudly while observing Yan Xiaobao. He was displeased, feeling that Yan Xiaobao was mocking his current form. "You have a baby’s body, and I also had to reduce my consciousness; otherwise, our bodies would have been torn apart by an explosion of my spiritual energy," he explained. Lan Feng walked straight up to Yan Xiaobao, not giving him any time to respond. He extended his hand and drew a long cut across his palm with his finger. Instead of blood, a silvery liquid oozed out slowly. Yan Xiaobao understood his intent clearly and mimicked the gesture. He reached out to clasp Lan Feng’s hands, allowing the liquid to merge. A sound much louder than it should have been echoed throughout his body, resonating in his Dantian Cave. "You hold my soul, and I hold yours. By the ancient soul contract, we are now one and the same, until death parts us or our goals are achieved." After these words, a tremendous energy surged into Yan Xiaobao’s hand, circling his entire awareness several times before retreating back into Lan Feng’s palm. As it left, Yan Xiaobao felt that parts of his consciousness had returned to him, making him feel whole again. It was a strange sensation, as he had never realized he had felt incomplete before. Once the power faded, Yan Xiaobao felt soreness throughout his body, as if he had overexerted himself physically. He was utterly exhausted. As Lan Feng sat down and leaned against the cave wall, he also appeared drained. Yan Xiaobao joined him and sat beside him. Then he closed his eyes. "So... do I have to redo eight months of grueling work?" he sighed, looking at his now-empty cave. Lan Feng, hearing the exhaustion in Yan Xiaobao’s voice, chuckled softly. "No, rest will bring it back. But you do need to continue refining every day. After all, we need you to grow stronger." Yan Xiaobao slowly nodded in agreement. If eight months of hard work had truly been erased, it would have been devastating. Lan Feng looked at Yan Xiaobao with a smile. The "soul contract" had caused some changes to Yan Xiaobao’s appearance, but Lan Feng felt there was no need to tell him just yet, as he noticed his consciousness growing faint. He watched as Yan Xiaobao drifted off to sleep. The morning came abruptly, as it usually did. Yan Xiaobao’s father was on his way to the forest when his eyes landed on his son asleep in the cradle. His eyes widened, and he froze in place until he finally snapped out of it. "What’s wrong?" Hui Lifen rubbed her eyes and asked in a groggy voice. "Our baby now has white hair!" Hui Guang said in a tone of disbelief, his gaze never straying from the cradle where their child slept. These words made Hui Lifen furrow her brows in shock, but she quickly went over to look at her baby and immediately let out a scream. The scream woke Yan Xiaobao, who opened his eyes and looked at his parents curiously, wondering why they were yelling. However, he soon got his answer. "His eyes are blue!" Hui Lifen exclaimed in a breathless, incredulous voice. Chapter 3: Unexpected Visitor The news of Hui Yue’s transformation spread quickly, stirring the entire village into action. Every person who saw him had the same impression—that they were looking at an angel. His white hair was purer than freshly fallen snow, and his dazzling blue eyes mirrored an endless sky. Villagers from far and wide visited the Hui Clan’s small house to see the beautiful infant. But even as they admired his appearance, a trace of fear lingered in their hearts. No one could explain how or why the child had changed so drastically overnight, and everyone had their own theories. Some attributed it to a terrifying nightmare that altered his appearance, while others claimed it was a curse from a powerful Magic Beast angered by the villagers’ harvesting of medicinal herbs in the forest. Still, others speculated that he had some rare disease. Whatever theories they offered, no one truly knew why this had occurred. Though Hui Yue’s transformation shocked the village, it was quickly accepted as normal since the baby did not seem to affect anyone else or bring any disaster to the village. Within a year, everyone fully accepted that Hui Yue’s changes were unexplainable, and he once again became the treasure of the village. During that year, Hui Yue managed to gain control over his own body and even learned to walk on unsteady legs. However, every movement he made required extra caution, as he was determined not to reveal his powers to anyone. That year also saw Hui Yue finally achieve balance. Lan Feng watched with patience as Hui Yue struggled to turn his baby-like babbles into actual words, but when they finally managed to utter their first coherent word, both Lan Feng and Hui Yue felt an incredible sense of relief. Speaking his first words was like unleashing a floodgate, and within a month, Hui Yue had mastered speech entirely. However, he had to conceal his linguistic abilities, just as he hid his other powers, because he saw no reason to attract unnecessary attention from the villagers again.
