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

Chapter 147 The Extraordinary Rakuchi

"You mean, Lezhi isn't experiencing any overexertion right now?" Lechu quickly grasped the key point and asked to confirm.

“Yes.” Lei Xiu nodded affirmatively. He was almost inseparable from Le Zhi every day, and no one knew Le Zhi’s condition better than him. A while ago, Le Zhi was obviously a bit listless. Lei Xiu thought it was because he was too tired from setting up the stall and treating the illness every day. He was even planning to adjust Le Zhi’s schedule if Le Zhi did not improve in the next two days.

When I saw Lezhi from Leixiu this morning, I found that Lezhi was full of energy and vitality. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were bright. She was completely different from her previous gloomy self.

“He’s not only not listless, but he’s in great spirits.” Lei Xiu quickly went through the details in his mind and explained to confirm, “We got up before dawn today and started working. Before I left, Zhizhi was still full of energy, so I’m sure he’s fine.”

But compared to what happened to Lezhi, the biggest problem is that he has no problems.

The skill of spawning has many uses for the tree spirits, and all members of the tribe must learn it. Therefore, the tree spirits consider themselves to be quite proficient in its development.

Whether applied in all aspects of life or adapted to local conditions on the battlefield, forcing plants to grow rapidly in a short period of time against their natural instincts is not an easy task. Therefore, the tree spirits must pay a corresponding price for this, such as energy and physical strength.

Now that such an unusual situation as Lezhi has suddenly arisen, even people like Lechu Qinglin and Yuyan, who have been clan leaders for a long time and have seen all kinds of events, can't help but feel a little bewildered.

“We’ve never heard of Lezhizai’s situation before.” Swallowing hard, Lechu looked to Yuyan and Qinglin for help, trying to get some support from them.

“Yes, but let’s look at it from another angle…” After a moment of surprise, Yu Yan, who hadn’t spoken until now, seemed to have thought of something. “What happened to Lezhi was never ordinary. Everything he experienced was not something an ordinary clansman would go through, so it’s normal that there are some abnormalities.”

“I agree.” Although Yu Yan was just stating the facts, which was tantamount to stating nonsense, they had no better explanation at this time. Qing Lin raised his hand before Lei Xiu could get angry, “Lei Xiu, don’t be too anxious. In my opinion, everything Le Zhi Zai is doing is actually moving in the right direction. Although he was born without wings, he can overcome the shadow, which means that his talent is definitely not low.”

Having failed to obtain any useful information from the three clan leaders, Lei Xiu was drawn to Qing Lin's words and turned his gaze to him. A hint of seriousness appeared in Lei Xiu's eyes. "Continue."

With a slight twitch of his lips, Qinglin wondered whether he should feel flattered. This cold-faced man only gave him a second glance when it came to Lezhi.

“What I mean is, maybe we can’t apply conventional thinking to Lezhi. A typical tree spirit can be born in a year, but Lezhi stayed in its shell for three years. If it weren’t for that accident that forced the mother tree to take emergency measures, Lezhi might have stayed in its shell even longer.”

Although it was just a guess, Qinglin's words were reasonable and well-founded, so Le Chu and Yu Yan, who were listening in, couldn't help but take it seriously.

"So, you suspect that Lezhi's hatching was actually out of necessity, and that the truth is that he hasn't fully developed yet, which is why he shows such high talent but is physically disabled, is that right?" Yu Yan continued, her tone full of disbelief.

Qinglin, who hadn't really figured out how to write the story, nodded in satisfaction when he saw Yu Yan come up with the following lines herself. He said that imagination needs a little stimulation, and Yu Yan did a good job.

"Is it possible that it isn't?" With a mysterious smile, Qinglin continued without batting an eye. Anyway, they were all just guessing, and he didn't care whether Lei Xiu believed it or not. He had no way to communicate with the Mother Tree to verify it anyway. "As for the Heavenly Crush Shadow, I suspect that this was something the Mother Tree had planned all along."

"you mean……"

"Think about it yourselves," Qinglin said righteously, "we were all born from the Mother Tree. She gave us long-lived bodies and maxed-out talents, which is enough to express the Mother Tree's favoritism towards our race. She even couldn't bear to see us suffer from injuries and illnesses, and bestowed sap upon us every year to protect us." He was like a child who knew he was being favored.

“We, who are so protected by the Mother Tree, were suddenly attacked by a dark shadowy creature of unknown origin, which has caused great suffering to our people. If you were the Mother Tree, what would you think?”

"Uh, of course..." Le Chu rubbed her nose sheepishly, somewhat swayed by Qing Lin's words.

"Of course we should find a way to deal with it," Qinglin said, getting a little carried away and revealing a bit of his true nature. "The Mother Tree must also have a lot of grievances against the Shadow. The way the Mother Tree dealt with it was by giving birth to Lezhi. The all-knowing Mother Tree must have thought of a way to deal with the Shadow, and after much deliberation, it chose to specially give birth to someone who is a natural counter to the Shadow."

The more Qinglin talked, the more likely it seemed. Le Chu, as if struck by a sudden realization, muttered to herself, "If it's like before, where medicine is given away, the mobility is limited, and the shadowy figure might find a way to counter it. But if it's a person..."

Especially since he was someone who could absorb the shadow and enhance his own talent, Le Chu thought of what Le Zhi had said about how his talent would increase after absorbing the shadow, and a surge of heat rose in his chest.

"If it's a person, then as long as he grows up, will the shadowy figure's tricks still be a threat?" Yu Yan concluded with a confident smile.

Thus, Qinglin's speech not only persuaded Lei Xiu, but also dragged Le Chu and Yu Yan into the same trap. If they could connect with the Mother Tree they spoke of at this moment, Qinglin would probably receive a full-fledged welcome from the Mother Tree.

Qinglin has completely exposed all of its little schemes.

However, they could not communicate with the mother tree, and could only find a little comfort in the sudden breeze.

"In the end, we still haven't mentioned what to do about Zhizhi's current situation." Although Lei Xiu didn't want to get angry anymore, he was still a little anxious, after all, Lezhi's physical condition was still a cause for concern.

"It's alright. If Qinglin's guess is true, I think Lezhi is still in the developmental stage. In the past, our tree spirits were usually fully developed after hatching, so we've never encountered such a situation before..." Lechu comforted her. "But the principle remains the same: if development is not good, just supplement with more nutrition!"

Amused by Le Chu's "What's so difficult about raising a child?" expression, her jade-like face rang out with laughter as melodious as silver bells, dispelling the somewhat serious atmosphere.

“Le Chu is right, there’s no need to be too anxious. On the contrary, I think we shouldn’t underestimate Le Zhi’s potential.” Yu Yan winked playfully. “You know, he’s someone who can go head-to-head with the shadowy figure, and it’s said that he’s been invincible so far, hasn’t he?”

“As the person who has been entangled with the shadow the longest, Lei Xiu should know best how difficult the shadow is. Le Zhi can easily deal with that kind of thing. I believe that with this perseverance and means, nothing can defeat him.”

Yu Yan was more perceptive. Although she had only met Le Chu a few times, through the descriptions of Le Zhi by others over the past few days, Yu Yan had already formed an image of a promising young man in her mind.

“I always feel that even if we do nothing, the little one can grow up very well on his own.” Qinglin pursed his lips upon hearing this. He also belonged to the category of those who felt powerless. “Lezhi has been here for so long, and we have hardly helped him with anything. Even without wings, it doesn’t stop him from gathering, setting up a stall, treating illnesses, and doing all sorts of other things.”
