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

Chapter 457 Before Adulthood

Although the Kunling Clan's territory is underground, the fact that they still have winged members cannot be ignored. The ceiling of the territory is so high that you can't see the top. Lezhi looked up for a long time, and his neck felt tired from looking up, but he still couldn't find where the end of the ceiling was.

They didn't hollow out the entire mountain to use as their clan's territory, did they?

All I remember is that we went downhill after entering the cave, but I have no idea how deep they went.

Anyway, this territory was completely different from what he had imagined.

The trees and vines still reach for the sky. The tribespeople choose different places to live, just like the Windwalker tribe. Some like to live among the treetops and branches, while others live in the middle or inside the trunk. Still others prefer to be down-to-earth and often fence off a large open space as their own yard.

Just like Lezhi's home in the Lingyu Clan.

The road is a combination of the Spirit Feather Clan and the Windwalker Clan. The ground is marked with stone slabs, and the air is connected by vines. What they have in common is that there are Light Grasses on both sides of the road to provide lighting.

In front of each household, a special space has been set aside for the succulent.

Lezhi even spotted a special neighborhood where all the buildings had patterns made of sparse grass on their facades, just like some of the sleepless cities in his previous life.

"That is..." He was about to ask a question when he suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to speak casually at this moment, so he stopped after saying only two words.

Fortunately, Snow was good at reading people's expressions and was also very understanding. "That's a shopping street, another feature of the Kunling tribe. If you're interested, I'll take you there to explore later when I have time."

Shopping street—such a rare term! Lezhi's eyes lit up instantly, clearly showing great interest.

"I'll stay with you after we've rested," Lei Xiu immediately promised upon seeing this.

Lezhi nodded hurriedly.

They looked around, but didn't linger on the way. Si Xu led them straight to the largest building in the center of the clan's territory, where they could see people already waiting in front of the door.

It must be the patriarch of the Kunling Clan. He folded his wings, paused in the air for a second, and then landed lightly. When Lezhi looked up again, he found that there was space between him and the other person, and there was no obstruction.

"Lezhi, welcome. I am Siyi, the patriarch of the Kunling Clan."

As his name suggests, Si Yi was tall and elegant. He stood there with his back naturally straight, his long hair loosely tied in a bun behind him, and he wore no extra decorations.

He wore a long black robe, the buttons and belt on the lapels gleaming with gold and stone, and wrist guards carved from gold and stone were worn on his cuffs. He wore a pair of long boots that covered his calves. His gentle and refined manners and his decisive and efficient manners were perfectly integrated.

At first glance, Lezhi felt that this person was very similar to Lechu, but with a more outspoken edge.

He is a smart and self-aware person.

"Hello, I'm Lezhi."

The moment the ethereal voice rang out, it shattered the aura surrounding Si Yi. A moment of confusion flashed in his dark brown eyes, but he quickly regained his senses and realized what had just happened. Surprise welled up in his eyes.

Glancing at the clansmen standing beside him, Si Yi found it amusing that they were not performing as well as he was. He shook his head and said, “It seems you are about to enter adolescence. Perfect timing. Take this time to rest and recuperate in the Kunling Clan.”

Adolescence? He frowned slightly; no one had ever told him this before.

Upon hearing this, not only Le Zhi was puzzled, but Si Xu and the others were also puzzled. Only Lei Xiu's eyes flashed with sudden realization.

Zhizhi's situation seemed familiar. He hadn't thought of it before, but now that Siyi mentioned it, he realized that someone in their generation had experienced the same thing during their adolescence—voice change and occasional uncontrollable power, which almost overlapped with Zhizhi's situation.

However, that person's voice wasn't as bewitching as Zhizhi's. It's likely that Zhizhi's reaction was due to the awakening of her second form.

"I'll explain it to you in detail when I have time. It's normal that the younger generation doesn't know this because they haven't encountered this situation before." As for the person who should have known but didn't think of it, Si Yi glanced at Lei Xiu. Serves you right. You used to only care about fighting and acted like nothing concerned you. Now you can't react when you need to!

…………

Si Xu was not needed for the next occasion, and Snow was sent to rest. Si Yi only entertained Le Zhi and Lei Xiu.

The efficiency of treating patients with Lezhi is already very high, so there's no need to rush. You can take advantage of the time to gather patients and build a relationship with them.

"Here, have a taste. This is insect honey water. I don't know if you'll like it. If you don't, we have other things here."

Insect honey is a precious commodity here. It must be said that Si Yi is a very thoughtful person. He somehow learned that Le Zhi has a strong appetite and knows how to put effort into it.

With no one else around, Lezhi was finally able to speak, "Thank you, this is very good, thank you for your help."

Hearing him speak again, his power remained undiminished. Even though Si Yi had prepared in advance, he couldn't help but feel a momentary tremor in his heart.

"I haven't felt this way in a long time, especially after Myo-on came of age."

With a smile, Si Yi started the conversation, choosing a very good angle.

"........."

Noticing that Lezhi was focused, he knew that he had chosen the right topic. "Before Miaoyin came of age, there was a time when she was like you. It is said that after taking a nap, her voice would be completely different. This is the talent of the Illusionary Sound Clan. If used properly, the voice is their weapon. But in the early stages, you still have to learn to control it, otherwise you will end up like this, attacking indiscriminately."

"control?"

"Yes, I can't explain the specific method either. You have a conch shell for transmitting sound, you can ask Miaoyin for advice."

Hearing this, Yuezhi nodded, just as he had when he learned about bubble formation from Canglong and the others, he understood.

He had no doubts about awakening the abilities of the Illusionary Sound Clan. If one's body could be rebuilt after being annihilated, what else was impossible?

Anyway, it was the mother tree herself who said that as long as it is found before the clan assembly, the answer will naturally appear.

Their conversation didn't last long. Si Yi asked about what happened at Jin Yan Peak. Si Xu had already told him the general story, and Lei Xiu added some details from his perspective.

Lezhi has not told anyone about what happened underground: the shadowy figure, the devastated mother tree, and their agreement. These are still secrets for now.

In a few words, Lezhi summarized his underground journey, and vaguely mentioned the lava reshaping of his body, saying, "I don't know why I came out unharmed, but I just came out like that."

This statement is so versatile that no one else could ask any further questions after receiving such an answer.

Si Yi assumed that Le Zhi genuinely didn't know, given the many inexplicable things that had happened to Le Zhi, so he didn't press the matter.

After agreeing on the time to treat the patients the next day, Si Yi arranged for someone to take them back to their lodgings to rest.

Following behind the guide, Lezhi was so focused on the unfamiliar environment around Maoqiu Xinqi that he didn't notice Lei Xiu's gaze behind him, which held a hint of understanding but more of determination.

He didn't know that what Lei Xiu saw in his eyes was that beneath his tree spirit humanoid appearance was a transparent, irregular, unidentified object that changed shape with his mood and movements, sometimes fitting his wings, and sometimes spreading out when he relaxed.

No one else could detect it, but Lei Xiu didn't find it strange at all; he just thought it was cute. Was this Zhizhi's true form?
