SFS Chapter 109 Transformation
Chapter 109 Transformation
Shen Qingyao suppressed her fear and unease, her hands trembling slightly, and tried to deal with the huge dragon in front of her with a calm and firm tone.
She knew that the slightest mistake could anger this behemoth, but in order to survive, she had to muster the courage to face it.
"I'm just an ordinary human being, unable to live in this darkness as long as you can. If I stay here, I'll get sick, and might even lose my life. So, please forgive my selfishness, I really can't stay and keep you company. I'm so sorry!"
Although saying these words could very well anger the dragon, Shen Qingyao knew that these spirits were often exceptionally persistent and valued promises above all else.
Once she agrees to stay and accompany him, she may never have the chance to leave this place again in her life.
As expected, when the dragon heard what Shen Qingyao said, its body trembled violently, clearly shocked by her words.
For a moment, the surroundings fell into dead silence. Shen Qingyao stared nervously at the dragon, not daring to breathe, fully expecting that she would be met with a storm of fury.
However, to her utter surprise, the dragon did not fly into a rage as she had expected; instead, it let out a long sigh.
Before Shen Qingyao could recover from her shock, the dragon slowly lowered its head and gently placed its massive head on the stone bridge.
At this moment, the two are only one step apart.
Accompanied by the dragon's heavy breathing, waves of warm and humid air rushed towards her like sharp wind blades, mercilessly lashing her delicate face and bringing waves of burning pain.
Looking at the dragon's utterly dejected appearance, Shen Qingyao's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
For some reason, an indescribable feeling of pity welled up within her, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the dragon's enormous nose.
However, in the next instant, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone, instantly illuminating the surrounding darkness.
The golden light arrived so suddenly that Shen Qingyao and the previously lost dragon were both stunned.
To their astonishment, something unbelievable happened.
The enormous, majestic dragon began to shrink and transform rapidly, turning into an adorable little baby who was only about one year old in the blink of an eye.
This little baby is exquisitely beautiful, with chubby, rosy cheeks that are incredibly endearing.
It was only wearing a tattered old garment that some unlucky soul had left behind. The garment was far too big for its small body, and it looked ridiculously like a long, floor-length dress on its body.
"Huh! How did I... end up like this?"
The little baby blinked his big, round eyes and muttered to himself in a childish voice.
After saying that, he tried to take a few steps forward, looking exactly like a child who had just learned to walk.
But in the next instant, the little child had a thought, and with a flash of dazzling light, it transformed back into the enormous dragon.
Immediately afterwards, the cheerful and clear laughter of a little baby came from the sky above. Then, it quickly transformed into the shape of a little baby like lightning and landed steadily in front of Shen Qingyao.
"Wow... I finally succeeded in transforming! It's all because of your blood... that I was able to transform successfully!"
The little child shouted excitedly, wobbling as he walked towards Shen Qingyao, reaching out his little hand to hold hers tightly.
Then, he carefully unfolded Shen Qingyao's finger, which she had injured while resisting the dragon's bite. He saw that fresh blood was slowly seeping from the wound, forming crystal-clear blood beads.
Shen Qingyao stared blankly at the beads of blood that kept oozing from her fingertips, completely shocked and unable to recover for a moment.
“娘亲～！”
Shen Qingyao: "??!!"
However, the little boy's words startled Shen Qingyao so much that her eyes widened and she couldn't help but wave her hands repeatedly.
"I'm not your mother, don't call me that!"
Shen Qingyao's voice was tinged with anxiety. She was still a virgin; where did she get such a big baby?
"Your blood gave me human form, so you are my mother now."
"Mommy, can you take me out? I really want to go out and see the world. I'm so lonely here."
"Mommy, don't you want my nest? I can help you fight off bad guys!"
The little girl stared longingly at Shen Qingyao, as if she would burst into tears if Shen Qingyao refused her.
The little guy was already chubby and very cute, with big eyes and long eyelashes that fluttered as if he might burst into tears at any moment.
Shen Qingyao looked at her and suddenly her heart softened, unable to say the words to refuse her.
"I can take you out, but you can't call me 'Mother,' understand?"
Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's words, the little guy thought for a moment and then shook his head in refusal.
"No! Your blood has given me human form; you are my mother."
Shen Qingyao: ...
This brat, why is he so stubborn?
Are you a boy or a girl?
Shen Qingyao didn't want to argue with her about this anymore; let her call her whatever she wanted.
"I'm your daughter! You have to call me your daughter!"
After the little guy transformed, he always spoke unclearly, and Shen Qingyao held back her laughter several times.
Do you have a name?
Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's question, the little guy shook his head blankly, looking somewhat disappointed.
"I don't have a name anymore. All those ghosts call me Silly Dragon. Mother, please give me a name, okay?"
Seeing the little guy's longing look, Shen Qingyao sighed helplessly.
Shen Qingyao: Damn it! Why did I soften my heart again?
"Alright! You're a dragon, and a girl, so how about you call yourself Long Jiaojiao? Your nickname will be Jiaojiao."
Shen Qingyao raised her hand and pinched her little cheek. The feel of it made her pinch it a couple more times before reluctantly letting go.
"Yay! I have a name now, my name is Jiaojiao."
Long Jiaojiao was so happy that he swayed and spun around twice, then hugged Shen Qingyao tightly.
"Thank you, Mother, for giving me this name."
Shen Qingyao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, her gaze softening slightly.
"Let's go, let's meet up with my teammates."
Shen Qingyao was about to get up when she spoke, but she had already exhausted herself from communicating with Long Jiaojiao through her soul aperture, and she sat down on the ground before she could get up.
Communicating with spirits through the soul aperture is not only laborious but also depletes one's own soul power, easily causing instability of the soul.
This is why she didn't use this method at first. In an ancient tomb, if one's soul becomes unstable, it's like trying to catch a bullet with bare hands, which is tantamount to suicide.
She was forced by circumstances to have no other choice; otherwise, she would never have resorted to this tactic.
