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

Chapter 158 The Changes in Lezhi

Lezhi didn't listen carefully to Qinglin's explanation. From the moment he stepped into the room, all his attention was on Qingjin, or rather, on the shadowy figure moving around Qingjin.

The furball, which had already gone through countless battles with Lezhi, was now filled with panic. The familiar scent stirred up some unpleasant memories in its heart. If Lezhi hadn't been holding it, the furball would have already followed its instincts and screamed away from this place of trouble.

The little seedling between Lezhi's eyebrows also woke up instantly after sensing the active aura of the dark shadow. It jumped happily between Lezhi's eyebrows, as if urging Lezhi to hurry up and "start eating".

Because the shadow on Qingjin's body had not yet been restrained by the sap of the mother tree, it was contagious. So, apart from Qinglin, who stopped at the door, the only person closest to her was the fearless Lezhi.

Letting go of the furball and letting it fly up on its own, Lezhi tilted her head slightly and whispered, "Furball, you and Chief Qinglin should leave this room, lest the shadowy figure, when cornered, panic and indiscriminately invade you."

"Chirp~" The furry ball, which can communicate with Lezhi without any problems, immediately chirped in response to the instruction and then turned and flew towards the green forest at the door.

Seeing that Qinglin was still hesitating about whether it would be appropriate to leave Lezhi to deal with Qingjin's serious situation, Maoqiu swung its wing directly, but the originally confident attack missed.

Even though Qinglin had something on his mind, he easily dodged Maoqiu's half-hearted attack based on instinct alone. The two of them looked at each other and their eyes showed a hint of seriousness towards each other.

After a second of consideration, Qinglin decided to trust Lezhi. After all, even such a powerful bird beast would subconsciously obey Lezhi's orders, which meant that Lezhi could definitely handle this situation.

You should know that Qinglin wasn't blind during the month that Yuezhi came. When it came to protecting Yuezhi, this bird-beast that Yuezhi called Maoqiu was no less protective of her than Leixiu.

Birds and beasts mostly act on instinct, and since Maoqiu could leave so decisively, Qinglin felt there was nothing to worry about.

"Lezhi, I'll head out now. Just call if you need anything, we'll be waiting outside."

Having been instructed, Lezhi had no time to answer Qinglin. He had already approached Qingjin, who was groaning in pain on the bed. The closer he got, the stronger the shadowy aura became.

A soft "click" was the sound of Qinglin closing the door as she left.

As if sensing that there were no more people in the room, Xiao Miao stopped shrinking back and began to stretch out her much-grown body. Abundant energy surged from Lezhi's body, climbing up along with the aura of the shadow until it completely surrounded Qingjin's body.

Having fought the shadowy figure for a long time, Qingjin's consciousness was extremely exhausted. Especially after Lezhi appeared, the shadowy figure, which had been dormant for a long time, became active again, tormenting her greatly.

If she could force herself to open her eyes and look at Lezhi now, she would find that Lezhi's appearance, which originally had white hair and silver eyes, had undergone a strange change.

His hair grew in sync with the seedling as it stretched out, but the newly grown ends didn't seem to be hair at all, but rather a collection of emerald green energy. The ends seemed to have a life of their own, freely winding and coiling downwards. Combined with Lezhi's eyes, which were also dyed green, this caused a qualitative change in Lezhi's entire demeanor.

The energy surging from Lezhi's body was so concentrated that it could be easily seen with the naked eye. After surrounding Qingjin, who was being invaded by the shadow, the energy, which materialized as green light, began to further devour the shadow.

When treating patients with the Shadow Disease, Lezhi would first activate the Shadow, and then use a small amount of energy as bait to lure and capture the Shadow.

But this time, facing Qing Jin, Le Zhi adopted a different approach, which was also the source of his confidence given by Xiao Miao. Because from the moment he entered, Le Zhi had a clear understanding that the shadow on Qing Jin was no match for even a single finger of his own power.

Since that's the case, there's no need for him to slowly lure and capture Qingjin, only to make her suffer more. With his own forces overwhelming her, Lezhi decided to go all out.

Thus, the current situation arose. The shadowy figure, whose living space was further compressed by the green light, also sensed that the visitor was hostile. However, the surrounding area was already completely surrounded by the green light, and the shadowy figure had nowhere to retreat. It could only cower inside Qingjin's body in an attempt to escape this calamity.

However, Lezhi would not let it go. In some ways, Lezhi is a perfectionist. For example, when removing the shadows from the tribe, if he was going to do it, he would do it to the best of his ability. Lezhi would often remove the shadows while also giving the tribe some energy to help them recover. This is one of the reasons why people who have been treated by Lezhi have a good recovery.

This time was no exception. Sensing the movement of the shadowy figure, Lezhi and the little seedling between their eyebrows became excited in unison, causing the green light to become more active and to devour the shadowy figure at an even faster pace.

Before long, the green light directly contacted Qingjin's body, and the war had finally reached its main battlefield. As the provider of the battlefield, Qingjin felt relieved for the first time after being infected by the shadowy figure, upon welcoming the arrival of his allies.

The green light was a deadly weapon for the shadowy figure, but a life-saving remedy for Qingjin. Within her unseen body, the areas Qingjin had been invaded by the shadowy figure were gradually repaired by the passing green light.

The pain persisted, but with the aid of the green light, it became less unbearable. Qingjin, whose brow had been furrowed ever since Lezhi entered, relaxed considerably as the green light expanded further, and her groans of pain ceased at some point.

The room was completely silent. Only Qingjin and Lezhi, the two people involved, knew that the battle between the green light and the black shadow was in full swing.

Because the energy ratio was so disparate, even before his talent was awakened, Lezhi could easily defeat the shadowy creatures that invaded the furball. Now that he has evolved so much, he naturally has no difficulty facing these shadowy creatures.

Qinglin paced anxiously at the door, feeling as if each day was an eternity. Meanwhile, the guards who had escorted Qingjin back were also outside, surrounding Qingze who had brought Lezhi, trying to ask him some questions.

They had all witnessed the horrific scene when Qingjin returned. Qingjin wouldn't allow her people to touch her, so the team members had to continuously encourage the growth of vines along the way, and the four of them worked together to hoist Qingjin back.

The vines were also attacked by the shadows, so while they were traveling, they also had to focus on growing the vines, which was a great test of their abilities and much more difficult than going to the battlefield.

Despite their best efforts, Qingjin's condition was visibly deteriorating, and even with Lezhi around, no one felt particularly optimistic.

"The shadowy figure we encountered this time is more powerful than any we've faced before. The captain reacted quickly and shielded us from all the damage by himself. Even after consuming all the sap from the mother tree we brought, it didn't help much. I wonder if that cub can handle this shadowy figure..."

Swallowing the words he couldn't say, the speaker didn't want to evoke a sorrowful atmosphere, but as a survivor, he needed to vent his anxiety through words.

Qingze understood his teammates' feelings. Qingjin was the captain of their Windwalker Clan's guard team and the goal they all strived for. Everyone hoped that Qingjin would be safe and sound. "Don't worry, Lezhi has been here for so long. He has always been more than capable of curing the Shadow Disease. I believe in him."

"That's right. Didn't the clan leader say that this cub is a natural nemesis of the shadows? If he can't do it, then who can? We must have confidence..."

Before the group could finish encouraging each other, a commotion came from inside the room. The crowd waiting outside rushed to the door and saw Qing Jin stride out of the inner treatment room as if nothing had happened.
