What is Mingyue doing? Mingyue has been terribly harmed by the little sparrow baby and is trapped in the space, unable to escape.
Seeing everyone at the base happily busy, Mingyue also wanted to do something.
However, the entire base was meticulously organized by Ji Shiyou, and everyone was doing their own tasks according to plan.
She couldn't find anything to do for a while and was bored. She then remembered that ever since Qingying's space merged with her own.
She hadn't had time to go in and take a good look. Wasn't this a good opportunity?
So, she informed Ji Shiyou and flashed into the space, appearing directly in front of the palace on the mountaintop.
Last time she came and went in a hurry, but this time she had ample time and wanted to examine it thoroughly.
Pushing open the palace doors, the rooms on the first floor had various attribute magic treasures displayed on shelves.
There were finished and semi-finished products, as well as a lot of materials, and a few empty slots.
The items originally placed there were the ones given to Ji Shiyou and the others, and they were also the most powerful ones.
Mingyue wasn't interested in the others and quickly browsed through them before entering the second-floor hall.
She saw a tall alchemy furnace standing in the center, which should be an alchemy room.
On the left wall was a medicine cabinet with thousands of small drawers, emitting a medicinal fragrance, presumably containing alchemy materials.
On the right wall, there was a rosewood shelf displaying bottles, jars, gourds, and jade boxes, which should all be refined pills.
The Witch clan was not skilled in alchemy or artifact refining, and Mingyue was not interested in these. Seeing another door at the back of the hall, she wanted to leave and see what else was inside.
As a result, she stepped on something and bent down to pick it up. It was a crystal bottle the size of a thumb.
It had a label with three characters written in cinnabar: Huaxing Dan.
The bottle cap was already open, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, but there were no pills inside.
Mingyue thought it was something Qingying had dropped on the ground before and didn't pay much attention to it, placing the bottle back on the wooden shelf.
Just as she was about to enter the room behind, she heard voices coming from inside.
Dr. You Hen and the others had already moved out, and there were no outsiders in the space.
Mingyue immediately became alert. After listening carefully, her expression changed.
She recognized the voice as Le Bu Sixu, the little sparrow baby who had insisted on staying in the space.
But the baby's voice was now shrill, crying for help, as if undergoing painful torture.
Mingyue immediately pushed open the door and stepped out, wanting to see what had happened to the baby.
Behind the door was not a room at all, but a vast space, with no sky above and no ground below.
There was nothing, only dense white mist all around, and its size was unknown.
The baby's body was floating in mid-air, engulfed in a ball of flames, crying out in agony.
"Mingyue, save me, I'm going to die.
It hurts so much! If you can't do anything, just kill me!"
The baby's small body was curled up. Seeing Mingyue, it weakly lifted its little head, begging Mingyue to kill it.
It seemed to be enduring extreme pain, otherwise, it wouldn't have given up on life and sought death.
"Tell me, what happened? Only then can I help you."
Mingyue would not kill the baby, but the current situation left her helpless, so she first needed to understand why the baby had become like this.
"It's all because of my gluttony."
The baby spoke weakly and intermittently, telling Mingyue why it had become so miserable.
Ever since it entered the space, it had fallen in love with it. The space had green mountains and clear waters, full of life, just like the place in its memory.
Therefore, it refused to leave. Mingyue didn't bother with it and let it roam freely in the space.
After all, it was just a sparrow, what harm could it do? But the baby was a troublemaker.
In the space, it would roast shrimp and crabs, or chase the fat chickens all over the mountains. Later, it got tired of its own antics.
It wandered around and finally discovered the palace on the mountaintop. It was like discovering a new continent.
Excited, it quietly sneaked in. However, the first floor of the hall was filled with cold weapons.
It was not interested and directly entered the next floor. Immediately, it smelled a strange fragrance, which smelled very delicious. The baby immediately drooled.
The fragrance came from a crystal bottle on the wooden shelf. It had a label, but it couldn't read, so it didn't know what was written.
It only felt that the fragrance made its heart itch unbearably, so it used its wings to push the bottle off the wooden shelf. Because it couldn't open the cap.
The impact of the crystal bottle hitting the ground caused the cap to detach from the bottle, and a green pill rolled out.
The entire alchemy room was filled with a strong fragrance. The baby didn't hesitate and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
Then it came to the third floor. Just as it was feeling surprised, it suddenly felt intense pain all over its body.
It felt as if the bones in its body were being pulled and kneaded, and its flesh felt like it was being pricked by needles.
The intensity of the pain was increasing. At first, it could still bear it.
But as flames appeared on its body, the level of pain made it wish for death, and it kept crying out in agony. Then Mingyue appeared.
"You gluttonous little thing, do you know what you ate? That's Huaxing Dan!"
Mingyue finally understood why the crystal bottle containing Huaxing Dan was on the ground.
She didn't know what to say to the baby. A little sparrow dared to eat Huaxing Dan. If it didn't have special abilities, it would have died countless times.
Mingyue didn't know about Huaxing Dan, but she understood transformation. By extension.
Literally, Huaxing Dan should be a pill to help birds, beasts, fish, and insects with sentience transform into human bodies.
Back then, before the war between the Witches and Demons, the demons managed the skies, and the Witches ruled the land.
The Witch and Demon clans had also coexisted peacefully for a long time, and Mingyue knew quite a bit about demon clan common knowledge.
When Pangu the Great God died, his primordial spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and his bloodline became the Witch clan.
The Yin and Yang energies gave birth to the demon beasts and hundred clans, led by the Ten Great Demon Sages. The demon clan classified its ranks by the purity of its bloodline.
Demon Sages were born with both human and demon forms and did not need to transform.
Great demons with pure bloodlines could naturally transform when they reached a certain age.
For the remaining demon beasts, transforming was not so easy, requiring thousands of years of continuous cultivation.
However, even then, success was not guaranteed. Only about eight or nine out of ten, or even fewer, could transform into humans.
Whether successful or not, it was all based on having demon blood, and they had to be of the demon race.
Although the baby had special abilities, it was just a common bird, an ordinary sparrow, not of the demon race at all.
The demon race had strong physiques, and their bones and flesh contained Pangu's innate power, allowing them to withstand the reshaping of their roots and bones during the transformation into humans.
But the baby lacked the basic conditions for transformation. Its bones and flesh did not contain innate power, which was why it was in so much pain.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have been so greedy. Since that's the case, kill me to save me from suffering!"
After hearing Mingyue's explanation, the baby gave up. It vowed that if there was a next life, it would remember two things.
First, not to be greedy, and second, to learn culture. If it could read, it wouldn't have eaten Huaxing Dan today.
If it had even a primary school education, it wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.
"Don't worry, you don't have to die. I have a way."
Looking at the baby, who was enduring the pain of reshaping its roots and bones and hanging its head dejectedly, Mingyue said.
