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

Chapter 125 Different Kinds of Music

At this moment, Lezhi was no longer the soft little cub he used to be. He was originally as gentle as a breeze, but suddenly became as swift as a storm, as if he had completely changed.

Leshan, who had once been fortunate enough to witness Lezhi's "transformation," understood immediately. It seemed that his reaction to Lei Xiu was indeed not a mistake. Raising his hand to stop Qinglin, who couldn't resist moving forward after noticing the change in Lezhi's expression, Leshan whispered, "Don't go over there. Just watch from here."

Leshan did this for Qinglin's own good. When the Shadow Disease flares up, it can infect those around it. Who knows how much Lezhi might push the Shadow to when he gets excited? It's best if these people don't go up and cause trouble for Lezhi, otherwise Lezhi might not be able to hold back and turn on him.

With his animalistic intuition, Le Shan was able to secure his position as the captain of the Lingyu Clan's guard team, which was certainly no small feat. His judgment of Le Zhi was extremely accurate.

Qinglin, who knew that Leshan wouldn't speak without reason, saw the confident yet intrigued expression on Leshan's face, and his unease strangely disappeared. If he wasn't mistaken, Leshan's expression clearly showed that he was looking forward to a good show.

Qinglin glanced suspiciously at Lei Xiu, who was decorating a mural to the side. He noticed that although Lei Xiu maintained a blank expression, his entire demeanor indicated that he was very relaxed and showed no signs of tension.

Seeing that the only two members of the Lingyu Clan present were so calm, Qinglin also calmed down. Without any unease clouding his vision, Qinglin also noticed that Lezhi's every movement was unrestrained and bold, without any hesitation. The restless black shadow on Qingmu's body clearly posed no threat to Lezhi.

Once in the zone, Lezhi would automatically block out outsiders. He was indeed very excited, with a confident smile on his lips. Lezhi asked Aoki to take off his upper body clothes. The source of Aoki's shadow was also suppressed in his left chest, thanks to the sap of the mother tree.

However, the extent of the black shadow patterns was significantly greater than that of Le Zhong at the time. Following the patterns, Le Zhi's eyes flickered.

"Aoki, after you were infected by the Shadow, have you used your wings again?"

“No.” Aoki gave a wry smile. “Our clan’s innate ability is speed. If we frequently spread our wings, the shadow will spread even faster. After we discovered this, the first rule that those infected with the shadow must follow is that they can no longer use their wings.”

Nodding, Le Zhi realized that Le Zhong must have been warned about this before, but Le Zhi hadn't heard his clansmen specifically mention it. So it was probably just that the shadows had a deeper impact on the wings of the Windwalker Clan. Having roughly figured this out, Le Zhi stopped worrying about it.

"Okay, now spread your wings."

Without explaining the reason, Rakuchi directly stood by the bed and instructed Aoki, who was half-sitting on the bed.

With a slightly widened eye in surprise, Aoki glanced at Aoki without thinking. Before Aoki could speak, Aoki gritted his teeth and, without answering, spread his wings, which had not been used for a long time.

The Windwalkers are renowned in Jormungand for their speed, and these exceptional wings are a gift from the Mother Tree. But ever since he was infected by this damned shadow, Aoki has never been able to soar freely through the air again.

This action was not only Rakuchi's request, but also something Aoki had wanted to do for a long time. Although it was somewhat irrational, whatever.

Because of the shadowy figure, a carefree smile once again appeared on Aoki's sickly face. Aoki's bright eyes told everyone how radiant he had once been. Although struck by illness, deep down, Aoki was still the same Aoki.

"Aoki..." Qinglin murmured Aoki's name, his tone filled with both relief and regret. He was relieved for Aoki's undiminished will, and regretful for those wings.

Where Aoki couldn't see, most of his beautiful, transparent wings, which should have reflected dazzling light, had been invaded by shadows.

Unaware of the sighs of the onlookers, Yuezhi's eyes lit up when he saw the dark shadow on Aoki's wings. "Found it! I knew it!"

While examining the shadows on Aoki's body, Lezhi noticed something was wrong. The number of shadow patterns on Aoki's body did not match the shadow aura that Lezhi sensed. But when you add the ones on the wings, it all makes sense.

Raising his hand, Lezhi hovered lightly at the source of the shadow on Aoki's left chest, and officially began his confrontation with the shadow. The seedlings, which had been waiting for a long time, cheered and eagerly released a fresh scent of grass and trees through Lezhi's palm to lure the shadow into the trap.

Aoki, who was in a period of silence, clearly felt the shadows in his body begin to move. They started as slight, feather-like movements, but later became like a rushing river flowing into the sea. As the host, Aoki's body was impacted by the shadows, which brought him intense pain, but he also realized that his long-suppressed talent was gradually awakening.

With the energy specially supplied by Lezhi, it slowly repaired the scars left after the shadows receded.

If you were to ask Aoki how he felt right now, it would be a bittersweet feeling. He could clearly feel the dark shadow within his body being drawn away by an unknown force, and his wood-elemental energy was being replenished.

Even the wings, which had been too afraid to move, began to tremble slightly and unconsciously.

"Don't rush, be patient." Holding down Aoki's restless shoulder, Lezhi looked at the dark figure who had already sensed something was wrong and started to retreat, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes.

It's too late to escape now!

Aoki's heart skipped a beat as he was struck by Lezhi's gaze at close range. As a rising star of the Windwalker Clan's guard, this was the first time he had felt such a profound sense of oppression from his own clan.

Aoki, who had been able to endure such a huge shock, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. Although Rakuchi's gaze wasn't directed at him, Aoki felt a kind of fear of being stared at by someone too powerful.

Rakuchi, who was focused on finding traces of the dark shadows remaining in Aoki's body, also noticed the tension in Aoki's body, but he didn't take it to heart, assuming that it was just a physical reaction from pain.

Once the last shadow was removed, the seedling, having gained ample energy, quickly retracted it and curled back into Lezhi's brow to grow quietly once more.

As Lezhi sensed his talent growing again, he slowly opened his eyes, which he had just closed. His space had finally expanded again, doubling in size, and the upper limit of his talent pool had also loosened.

It seems the lack of change last time was simply due to insufficient energy. Having resolved her previous doubts, Rakuchi happily released her hand that was still supporting Aoki's shoulder.

Before leaving, he made sure to give Aoki a little more energy to help him recover as quickly as possible.

Standing up straight and turning to face Qinglin, who was looking at him expectantly, Lezhi resumed his usual demeanor. "Chief Qinglin, Captain Qingjin, I have not failed you."

After saying that, Lezhi moved aside to make it easier for Qinglin and Qingjin to check on him, while he himself went to meet the fur ball that was already running towards him.

"Tweet~"

"Zhizhi, how are you feeling?" Lei Xiu stepped forward and reached out to tidy up Lezhi's slightly messy bangs.

Lezhi shook her head, about to answer, when she was drowned out by Qinglin Qingmu's voice.

"Aoki, ...you're alright!"

Looking at the green tree that seemed to fly into the air, Qinglin's eyes were filled with disbelief and undisguised joy.

Previously, Leshan only told him that Lezhi could cure shadow disease, but he didn't say that the effect would be this good. The immediate effect caught him off guard.

"Yes, Chieftain, I'm fine." After testing his wings, which hadn't been used for a long time, Qingmu landed back on the bed, then leaped off and showed his clean and refreshed body to Qinglin and Qingjin. "In fact, I feel better than ever before, Captain. I request to participate in the assessment and rejoin the team."
