CHAPTER 260 (2/2)
Xie Xi, “…” He couldn’t afford anything.
The store owner wasn’t willing to wait for him. “Then look again and call me.” Then he went to another person.
Xie Xi couldn’t do it on his own. The sketch pen was equivalent to his heart and he had to understand the things to draw them well.
Still, he couldn’t eat and become a fat person in one breath. He would look slowly and remember many things today.
On the way back, Huer’s mother was embarrassed. “There is only enough for one attempt…”
Xie Xi told her, “That’s enough.”
Huer’s mother cried out, “If you pick a good time, Little Xie will definitely succeed at once!”
Xie Xi nodded. “Yes.” He touched the little lion’s head.
Taking into account Xie Xi’s body, they went to the tea stall to rest before continuing their journey.
The weather was hot and quite a few people were resting after visiting the market. Xie Xi sat to one side and heard a lot of gossip.
“I don’t think Beast King Rose will come back.”
“He really made too many enemies while carrying out his decrees.”
“Still, he did it for the good of our people!”
“What is the use? We couldn’t protect him!”
“I don’t understand why the national teacher would betray the beast king…”
“Do you want to stop living?” The man covered the other person’s mouth. “You will be beheaded if you talk about the national teacher!”
The man snorted. “We could say whatever we wanted when the beast king was still here.”
“The beast king is gone!”
“The national teacher was the most trusted person of the king. How…”
“Shut up!”
The man didn’t dare to speak anymore. Xie Xi listened to it and was full of thoughts.
Who was the national teacher? He seemed like an important person.
Xie Xi inexplicably felt a bit uneasy. Then he glanced at the little lion and his heart was steady again. The identity of the national teacher didn’t matter. In any case, Jiang Xie was by his side.
It was already night time when they returned to the village.
Huer’s mother told Xie Xi, “Tomorrow at noon is the best time. You must be sure to cheer Little Xie up. If he is a good mood, the success rate of the transformation would be much higher.”
Xie Xi was familiar with this heart and replied, “I understand.”
“I’ll wait for your good news.”
Xie Xi nodded.
Transformation was best in a familiar environment in front of the most reassuring person. If the cub was physically and mentally relaxed after taking the materials then the success rate would be much higher.
These were the experiences gained over the years and listening to them wouldn’t be wrong.
Xie Xi didn’t sleep well and was very nervous.
Jiang Xie could attempt the transformation at most three times. If he was unsuccessful then it was very dangerous.
It was reasonable to say that the soul should be able to transform into a human but Xie Xi knew about Jiang Xie’s unlucky physique. It was really terrible.
Everything was ready. Xie Xi made sure the little lion had enough to eat and drink before asking him, “How do you feel?”
The little lion cried out loudly.
He sounded good. Xie Xi smoothed the fur on his back and said, “Come on, become a human so you can speak.”
The little lion was very excited. His golden eyes were round and bright.
Xie Xi gave a sigh of relief and followed the steps to feed him the materials.
The materials were all handled well and just needed the cub…
Bang.
Xie Xi clenched his fists. Did it succeed?
The fog disappeared. It was a little lion or…
Xie Xi frowned. The first attempt had failed.
The little lion squirmed as he looked down at his paws before looking up at Xie Xi.
Xie Xi told him, “It’s fine, I have the materials and try again.”
The little lion got up and carefully ate the materials.
There was a bang again and Xie Xi’s heart tensed.
The fog cleared and it was once again a failure.
The little lion saw his body and the brightness in his golden eyes faded.
Xie Xi cried out, “Try it once again!” Fortunately, he had drawn enough materials in advance.
The little lion wasn’t as enthusiastic as he was last time. He gazed at the materials and hesitated.
He had heard the words of Huer’s mother.
His attempt at transformation was too late. There were only three chances or he would later…
Then a thin hand reached out and touched his face. “Are you afraid?”
The little lion gazed into the pale eyes and was stunned.
Xie Xi reassured him, “Don’t be afraid. There is nothing.”
An unspeakable heat flowed through his blood and the little lion experienced an unprecedented peace of mind.
He raised his head and cried out.
The sound was clear and loud, filled with fearlessness and confidence.
Xie Xi smiled and gently kissed the lion’s eyebrows. “Come on!”
It was a kiss to the hair but the little lion felt an unspeakable touch.
It was very soft and there was a good fragrance, making people feel comfortable.
The little lion completely broke free of the shackles of his heart and ate the materials.
He didn’t believe that he couldn’t transform. He didn’t believe he would lose himself even if he lost everything!
There was another bang.
Xie Xi didn’t dare blink until the fog dispersed. He saw a small Jiang Xie standing there with beast ears.
Blonde hair and skin as white as snow.
The handsome facial features in adulthood were currently so beautiful in childhood.
What’s more, he still retained the cute beast’s paws and tail.
