Chapter 29 Little Blue Transforms
"Understood, Master!"
Xiao Lan responded, and immediately, an invisible yet vast wave of will spread out silently from her center, like ripples on water, sweeping over countless roots, transmitting to every corner of the forest, and entering every Blue Silver Grass, whether strong or weak.
At this moment, all the blue silver grass in the entire Sunset Forest became Little Blue's extended senses.
Their subtle perceptions and the environmental information they receive converge like a massive data stream along an invisible network.
This process did not last long.
"Master, we've found it!"
"The place you mentioned does exist! Moreover, it's not far from our current core Blue Silver Forest, located about two hundred miles to the northeast, deep in the mountains."
"Oh?"
A glint flashed in Lin Qiyue's eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"That's even better! It saves us a lot of travel time. Little Blue, come with me."
"Yes, Master!"
As Xiao Lan's cheerful response faded, Lin Qiyue felt the giant tree beneath her feet tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly rich blue light emanated from every inch of the giant tree's bark and every leaf, illuminating the surrounding area with a clear and transparent glow.
The light rapidly contracted and condensed, converging towards a certain point in the tree canopy.
The towering tree trunk, reaching a height of 150 meters, became hazy and ethereal in the light, as if it had merged into an ocean of light.
The next moment, the brilliant blue light suddenly receded inward and disappeared completely.
The towering tree was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, a pretty woman in a blue dress stood there.
The woman appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure. She wore a long dress woven from the purest blue silver grass leaves, with faint, flowing golden veins adorning the hem and cuffs, mirroring the patterns on the bark of her own tree body.
Her skin was as white as jade, with a healthy and radiant glow, and her cheeks had a natural, faint blush.
Her waist-length hair was as smooth and lustrous as the finest blue silk, with tiny, blue crystal-like leaf decorations faintly visible between her strands.
What is most striking is her face; it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Her features were so exquisite that they seemed to have been carefully sculpted by heaven and earth. Her large eyes were like sapphires soaking in a clear spring, clear and bright, with a lively and spirited look, full of vigor and curiosity.
With a charming smile and radiant eyes, her pure and lively temperament possessed a stunning quality that was both completely different from Lin Qiyue's exquisite and ethereal beauty, yet equally captivating.
Lin Qiyue was momentarily stunned when she saw the blue-clad girl who had suddenly appeared before her.
Although he knew that soul beasts could transform into human form when they reached a certain level of cultivation, seeing Xiao Lan, who had always accompanied him in the form of a tree, suddenly transform into such a vibrant and beautiful young girl was still quite a shock.
"Owner!"
The blue-clad girl, Xiao Lan, immediately brightened her sapphire-like eyes, which were filled with undisguised joy and dependence.
She let out a joyful cry, and before Lin Qiyue could react, she was like a bird returning to its nest, spreading her arms wide and carrying a fresh scent of grass and trees as she rushed over and hugged the still somewhat dazed Lin Qiyue tightly.
"Wow! Finally, I can snuggle up to my owner! Owner smells so good, so warm!"
Xiao Lan buried her face in Lin Qiyue's shoulder, nuzzling him, her voice muffled but full of satisfaction and joy, her arms wrapped tightly around him.
Lin Qiyue's body stiffened slightly as she felt the soft, warm touch in her arms and the pure, joyful emotions within, leaving her mind somewhat dazed.
"Little...Little Blue?"
He spoke hesitantly.
"Yes! It's me, Master!"
Xiao Lan looked up, her eyes crinkling with laughter. She loosened her arms but remained very close, looking up at him. Lin Qiyue could clearly see her long, curled eyelashes.
"This is what I look like in human form! What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"
She asked with a hint of pride and anticipation.
"Is this what you look like in human form? Not a real human?"
Lin Qiyue composed herself and asked.
"That's right, Master!"
Xiao Lan nodded vigorously and explained.
"Once I reach the level of a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast, I can condense energy and transform into a stable human form. However, this isn't a true transformation into a human; it's merely a change in form. My essence remains the Blue Silver Ancient Tree! Moreover, in this form, some of my original power needs to be used to maintain stability, so my combat strength will be much weaker than my original body. But moving and performing delicate tasks will be much easier!"
The two separated by a small distance, and Lin Qiyue nodded to indicate that she understood.
His gaze fell once again on Xiao Lan's smiling face, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
I never expected that the human form that Xiao Lan transformed into would be so beautiful. Her looks... in the human world, she would definitely be considered stunningly beautiful.
"Master, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
Xiao Lan tilted her head, blinked in confusion, and then her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.
"Is my human appearance strange? Or ugly?"
Lin Qiyue immediately realized that her reaction might have caused her to misunderstand, so she quickly coughed lightly, touched her nose to cover up her embarrassment, and looked away, but her ears were slightly hot: "No... nothing. It's just... Xiao Lan, your human form is so beautiful, it's a bit unexpected."
"whee!"
Xiao Lan immediately beamed with joy, her bright and radiant smile seemingly making the surrounding sunlight even warmer.
She happily twirled around on the spot, her skirt swaying in a graceful arc.
"My owner said I look good! I'm so happy! From now on, I can stay with my owner looking like this forever!"
Seeing Xiao Lan's genuine joy, Lin Qiyue's unease dissipated, replaced by a warmth and a faint smile.
He composed himself and brought his attention back to the matter at hand.
"Alright, now that we've found the place, let's not delay."
Lin Qiyue looked towards the northeast.
"Little Blue, lead the way. Let's go check out the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
"Yes! Master, come with me!"
Xiao Lan nodded vigorously, took the initiative to reach out, and naturally took Lin Qiyue's wrist.
"I know the best route right now! This way!"
As she spoke, she took Lin Qiyue's hand and walked lightly toward the northeastern edge of the Blue Silver Forest.
The surrounding blue silver grass automatically dispersed.
Those enormous, 100,000-year-old blue-silver trees looked on with envy as Lin Qiyue and her companion left.
They also want to stay by their master's side, but they haven't reached the age of 200,000 years and can't directly transform into human form.
Moreover, they will not move around unless instructed by their owner.
A moment later.
Lin Qiyue was gently led by Xiao Lan as they traversed the dense and complex vegetation of the Sunset Forest.
Little Blue seemed to be a natural part of this forest, moving at an extremely fast speed as if walking on flat ground.
