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

Chapter 383 Yue Chu's Attitude

Cang Jin, who had previously eaten at Lezhi's place, was completely won over by today's delicious and visually appealing meal. Despite their best efforts, he and Lei Xiu managed to eat less than a third of the food; Lezhi finished off the rest.

Not only that, but later Lezhi even begged Lei Xiu to cook the remaining seafood in his inventory, and only then could he barely eat his fill.

Cang Jin wasn't idle either. Under the pretext of helping him digest his food, Lei Xiu insisted on making Cang Jin his assistant. As an aquatic creature, handling aquatic products was an innate instinct, so why not use it? There's no such thing as a free lunch, not even dinner.

With the delicious taste of the food still lingering in her mouth, Cang Jin made a perfunctory protest in order not to offend the chef Lei Xiu, but in the end she obediently went into the kitchen.

He was there to learn how to cook seafood properly, not because he was afraid of Lei Xiu's electric shocks. Making excuses for his actions in his mind, Cang Jin busied himself happily in the kitchen.

With a willingness to learn and a little practical skill, cooking is actually quite easy to get started with. At least when Cang Jin left, he had gained considerable confidence in his cooking skills and was determined to try making it himself for the next meal, and also to try the garlic sauce that Le Zhi had given him.

After finally seeing Cang Jin off, I turned around and went into the house. The dining table had been completely cleared away, and Lezhi, who had eaten and drunk her fill, was cleaning up the mess in the kitchen.

"Zhizhi, let me do it."

"No need, you've already done a lot of work cooking, so of course I should wash the dishes. Otherwise, I'd just sit here and wait to eat, what would that look like?" Le Zhi shoved Lei Xiu, who was trying to come over, aside with her elbow, and gestured towards the door with her chin. "If you're free, go check on Maoqiu and Kele. They were just making a fuss about wanting to eat with me from beginning to end, so they've probably eaten too much by now. Try to help them digest their food, otherwise they won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Although he knew it was just an excuse—birds and beasts wouldn't overeat, they knew their limits—Lezhi was clearly telling him to leave, meaning he really didn't need his help. Lei Xiu hesitated for a moment, then could only turn and leave the kitchen as instructed.

Just as he expected, Maoqiu and Kele were in good spirits, even though their bellies were round and full, and they seemed to be perfectly fine. They were currently tilting their heads and preening their feathers, and after Kele finished preening itself, it would preen Maoqiu's as well.

This habit was only recently formed. At first, the furball would get impatient, but no matter how much it hit, Cola would still find a way to come up and keep coming. Later, the furball got used to it and simply let it go as long as it didn't go too far.

Lei Xiu was all too familiar with this kind of interaction. Cola, though small in stature, had quite the mind.

With a pout, Lei Xiu rolled up his sleeves, deciding to take this opportunity to wash the two birds, so that Maoqiu wouldn't stick to Lezhi all day and bathe with him. He had long disliked it, but there was nothing he could say.

Now Lei Xiu has figured it out. As long as he takes the initiative to be the bird and beast's bath attendant, then Le Zhi will naturally not have to bring the fur ball with him when bathing. Why didn't he think of that before?

"Cola, Maoqiu, Lezhi is busy. He asked me to take you two to take a bath first, especially you, Maoqiu, since you went out to play with them today, you need to take a good bath." The cunning human used Lezhi as an excuse to successfully fool Maoqiu.

Maoqiu was naturally suspicious, but seeing Lei Xiu's righteous expression and the fact that he had just come out of the kitchen and Lezhi was indeed busy, Maoqiu couldn't find any flaws. So, with some doubt, Maoqiu let Lei Xiu pick them up with one hand and steadily walk into his bathroom.

After cleaning the two birds, Lei Xiu looked at his soaked robe and decided to take a bath as well.

Besides thinking about the shadowy figure, it seems I also need to find a way to trade some fabric with the aquatic creatures these past few days. Otherwise, with water everywhere, my ordinary clothes will often get wet, which is really inconvenient.

Speaking of this, we can't help but think of Lezhi's clothes. They look thin, but they keep you warm and are waterproof. They look much better than the silk fabrics produced by the aquatic tribe.

As expected, when the mother tree makes a move, nothing is ordinary.

When Lei Xiu came out again with the two fluffy little ones who had just been bathed, Le Zhi had already cleaned the kitchen spotless. She was now nestled in the large clamshell cushion in the living room, the wisteria flower on her wrist shimmering.

"...Okay, I understand, don't worry..." Lezhi lay on the high pillow, listening to Lezhong's earnest instructions from Ziteng's side, a smile always on his lips, until the light in front of him was blocked by Leixiu's shadow, and he realized that Leixiu had brought Maoqiu and the others to him.

"Clan Chief Lechu?"

Shaking his head, Lezhi silently replied, "Uncle Lezhong." Lei Xiu recognized Lezhi's lip reading, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then turned around and sat down next to Lezhi, quietly keeping him company.

Maoqiu and Kele had been waiting for a long time. Finally, when Lei Xiu sat down, Maoqiu flew out of Lei Xiu's arms first and flew straight to Lezhi's shoulder. It used its two little paws to find a suitable place, bent its legs, and nestled in the crook of Lezhi's neck without moving.

Cola, who was a step too late, tried to catch up, but was scolded back by the furry ball who had noticed in advance.

You can cuddle and snuggle with it normally, but you absolutely cannot try to take Lezhi from it. The little furball has its own set of boundaries that cannot be violated.

After being scolded, Cola returned to Lei Xiu's side, looking disheveled. She let out a pitiful whimper and successfully received an electric shock from Lei Xiu.

Eat up, eat more so you can grow up faster. Only by growing up and becoming stronger can you be worthy of being seen. Lei Xiu silently exchanged messages with Cola, then looked up at Le Zhi, feeling a pang of envy and jealousy himself.

After finally calming Le Zhong down, Le Zhi raised his hand to rub his earlobe. He had suddenly felt a little itchy in his ear. Could it be that the vine and mushroom had accidentally touched it? Le Zhi thought to himself and gave instructions in his mind to keep the vine and mushroom away from his earlobe. Only after confirming that there was no more strange sensation in his ear did Le Zhi come back to his senses.

At this moment, a different person was speaking to Zifeng, "Lezhi, are you still there?"

"Ah, yes, clan leader, what did you just say? I was distracted and didn't hear you clearly."

"I'm asking you what you plan to do next. Cang Ji contacted me today specifically to talk about your health issues. He originally wanted to keep you in the Water Clan until the Shadow problem was resolved before making other plans. Now he's not sure if that's still the best option."

"Is he afraid that if I stay here, his people will keep hoping, and someone might make an irreversible decision?" Lezhi chuckled, a hint of melancholy in his voice.

"What are you thinking? Of course not. He'd love for you to stay with the Water Tribe forever. You already have a second form." Sensing the implication in Le Zhi's words, Le Chu immediately denied it. "If he decides to disregard the consequences, whether you're there or not won't change the outcome. Perhaps in that person's heart, talent is nothing more important than getting rid of the shadow. These are personal choices, issues they have to face. You don't need to bear the fate of others."

Le Chu pointed out the problem incisively. Even though others were not here, he was the one who understood Le Zhi the most. He didn't need to be face to face. When Cang Ji told him that Le Zhi had a health problem, he could immediately guess Le Zhi's reaction.

This child is conflicted and awkward. He wants to be sincere, but he is afraid of being hurt. So when he senses that something is wrong, he will shrink into his shell and raise sharp thorns to protect himself.

Le Chu's words exposed Le Zhi's hidden thoughts; he had indeed done it on purpose, deliberately saying hurtful things first. It was like giving him a preventative shot, so that when the worst situation actually happened, the damage wouldn't be too great.

When he chose to be honest with Cang Ji and the others about his problem with his abilities, he had already mentally rehearsed countless possible outcomes, preparing for both the best and the worst.

Now that Le Chu said this, Le Zhi was somewhat skeptical, but what others thought didn't matter. Le Chu and Le Zhong, whom he regarded as his own people, had at least not disappointed him after learning about this, and that was enough.
