Volume 1, Chapter 16

Shapeshifting?!

“Really, for real?!”

Upon hearing Saibok’s words, Yumo seemed to momentarily freeze due to excessive excitement.

For over five hundred years,

She had always yearned to have a body of her own. Without a body, there were many things she couldn’t do! Although she could use her perception to give herself vision and hearing, she still lacked the senses of smell and taste, as well as other sensory touches…

Without a body, she couldn’t converse normally with people, couldn’t feel the comfort of a gentle breeze against her face, couldn’t enjoy the unique delicacies of this otherworld (though she hadn’t seen anything particularly tasty yet…). More importantly, without a body, she was forever confined to the depths of the eastern part of Deepwinter Forest,

And after staying there for hundreds of years, Yumo had long grown tired of it!

“What the hell is the difference between this and being in prison? I want to get out!!”

Yumo often roared like this in her heart, but in the end, it was just futile rage.

Her true form was a palace, unable to move on its own.

But,

If she could use shapeshifting magic to create a body for herself, then perhaps she could end this awkward ‘prison’ life and personally see the outside world. After all, since she had come to this otherworld, she should at least take a good look around, right? Always just listening to others describe the outside world undoubtedly lacked a sense of reality.

Unfortunately, the shapeshifting magic used by Li Mo and Li Yu seemed ineffective on her. Therefore, while having the children investigate information about the ‘Main Character Group’, Yumo also had them look into other shapeshifting magic.

What a wonderful day today is!!

Yumo couldn’t help but marvel in her heart.

Not only did she obtain information about the ‘Main Character Group’, but she also got information about shapeshifting magic? Although it was still uncertain whether it would work on her, Yumo was quite hopeful inside! After all, this set of shapeshifting magic seemed different from the previous ‘biological-use’ ones!

After calming her joyful mood,

The Blood Butterfly under Yumo’s control flew in front of Saibok,

“Good, good, this is truly good news. Well done, little Sai!!”

As she spoke, Yumo habitually used Shadow Essence to create an energy arm, gently patting Saibok’s head, causing the latter’s old face to blush slightly, filled with embarrassment,

“Um, Lady Yumo… I’m not a child anymore…”

However,

Saibok’s ‘protest’ clearly had no effect, as Yumo continued to pat his head on her own. To Yumo, although Saibok was old, he was still that crybaby from back then…

A moment later,

Yumo finally stopped under the extremely envious and jealous gazes of Li Mo and Li Yu,

“So, you’ve already obtained that magic, right?”

“Yes.”

Saibok nodded with a smile,

Then, surrounded by a faint blue light, Saibok activated the spatial ring on his index finger.

After a ripple in space,

An exquisite parchment scroll suddenly appeared in Saibok’s hands. He then held up the scroll with both hands and presented it to the Blood Butterfly,

“Lady Yumo, this is the Secret Transformation Technique created by the Elven Race.”

“Oh ho, as expected of those long-eared ones, this scroll is made quite exquisitely. It even has gems embedded? How extravagant…”

After taking the scroll with her energy hand, Yumo couldn’t help but marvel repeatedly.

After examining it for a while,

Yumo stored the scroll in the storage space of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, and said to Saibok in a slightly apologetic tone,

“Sorry, little Sai, I won’t keep you company for now. I’m going to study this magic first. Let Li Mo and Li Yu, those two girls, play with you.”

Although there were many things Yumo wanted to ask Saibok after not seeing him for so long,

Such as whether he had started a family and career, how many children he had, and the like…

But compared to asking about these trivial family matters, Yumo’s thoughts were now almost entirely captivated by the Elven Race’s shapeshifting magic, leaving her with little energy to focus on other issues for the time being.

Regarding this,

Saibok expressed understanding,

“It’s fine, Lady Yumo. Please go ahead and attend to your matters.”

“Yes, Mother, please go ahead and attend to your matters.”

Li Yu, standing nearby, also slowly spoke up, while her emerald-green eyes thoughtfully glanced at Saibok, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground.

“Coincidentally, my sister and I haven’t seen Saibok for a long time either. There are many things we want to talk to him about.”

“Alright, then little Sai will be left in your care.”

“Mm, leave it to me and my sister, Mother.”

Li Yu smiled and patted her chest in assurance.

“Mm, thank you for your trouble.”

After speaking,

The dozens of crimson butterflies floating around the three gradually disintegrated into specks of scarlet light particles, dissipating into the sky. The moment Yumo’s avatar vanished, the smile on Li Yu’s face instantly disappeared.

A dazzling emerald-green light suddenly burst from her eyes, and emerald-green Shadow Essence surged wildly around the girl.

A pair of gray wings suddenly unfolded behind her.

“Come with me!”

As she spoke, Li Yu unceremoniously grabbed Saibok by the collar, transforming into an emerald-green meteor that shot out of the barrier. Li Mo also mobilized her power, turning into a white light closely following behind…

A moment later,

On a snowy mountain far from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, beyond Yumo’s perception, Li Yu slowly came to a stop, the gray wings behind her gradually retracting into her body. Li Mo, who had caught up from behind, stood quietly beside Li Yu.

Saibok, who had been dragged along and nearly lost half his life, was awkwardly thrown onto the snowy ground.

After straightening his hair, which had become disheveled from the high-speed movement, Saibok admired the beautiful and magnificent snowy mountain scenery around him before looking helplessly at the two sisters, Li Yu and Li Mo, in front of him.

While elegantly wiping the remaining snowflakes from his face with a handkerchief, Saibok let out a bitter laugh.

“Lady Li Yu, if you wanted to bring me to see the scenery, you could have just said so. Why suddenly drag me here? My old bones can’t withstand such intense tossing around.”

Saibok’s words were as amiable as ever,

But Li Yu’s current state was completely different from her image inside the barrier earlier. She was no longer the obedient daughter from before; the smile on her face was gone, replaced by an overwhelming sense of solemnity and killing intent. Her emerald-green eyes were filled with an icy, piercing cold light.

The turbulent emerald-green Shadow Essence around her caused the surrounding snowy mountains to begin collapsing, and space gradually twisted and cracked. Faced with this sudden, immense pressure, countless magical beasts and Abyssal Demons inhabiting the snowy mountains couldn’t help but tremble in fear.

Even with the Talisman given by the duke, Saibok still felt difficulty breathing and his soul trembling.

The girl before him seemed to be on the verge of a volcanic eruption.

But even so,

He still maintained the elegant demeanor befitting a qualified butler.

“Lady Li Yu, what’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?”

Li Yu snorted coldly,

Then raised her small hand and, with lightning speed, suddenly grabbed Saibok by the neck, slamming him against the giant rock behind him! She questioned fiercely:

“Little Sai! Oh, no! Saibok! How dare you ask me what’s wrong?! I want to ask you! Thirteen years ago, didn’t you say you had already killed the ‘male lead’?! Why has he appeared again now?!”
