The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 249 Transformation
"It's for you, but not entirely for you."
Chen Xiao paused for effect, then continued, "This pill is called the Transformation Pill… By the way, where's Xiao Hei?"
"Oh, I'll go bring him over!"
Li Qin went out, and after a while, Xiao Hei hopped in.
"Brother Chen, you said this pill is called the Transformation Pill? Could it be that it can allow Xiao Hei to transform?"
Chen Xiao had a smug smile on his face as he handed the Transformation Pill to Li Qin, "Try it and you'll find out!"
Li Qin carefully took the pill and handed it to Xiao Hei's mouth, "Here, Xiao Hei, eat it!"
Xiao Hei completely trusted Li Qin. He bit into it with a snap and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then, nothing happened.
Xiao Hei licked his lips, looking at Li Qin with a blank stare.
Li Qin looked at Chen Xiao, "Brother Chen, there's no reaction?"
Chen Xiao squatted down and stretched out his hand to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, come here!"
Xiao Hei tilted his head and looked at Li Qin. Li Qin said, "Go ahead, your Uncle Chen is calling you!"
Chen Xiao was speechless. Where did this "Uncle Chen" come from?
However, seeing Xiao Hei already walking towards him, Chen Xiao reached out and touched Xiao Hei's head.
At the same time, a stream of spiritual energy flowed from Chen Xiao's fingertips into Xiao Hei's head.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"
Xiao Hei suddenly screamed and began to twitch on the ground.
"Brother Chen, what did you do to Xiao Hei?"
Li Qin couldn't help but feel nervous. If it wasn't Chen Xiao who had done this to Xiao Hei, she would have already gotten angry.
Chen Xiao said calmly, "Transformation is always accompanied by pain…"
The pain was rapid and short-lived. After a moment, the Xiao Hei lying on the ground disappeared, replaced by a toddler who looked only two or three years old.
The toddler had a head of dark black hair that was soft and thick, a pair of large, bright eyes, and skin that was flawless and delicate.
Li Qin covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The toddler looked at her with his big, watery eyes.
"Y-you, you, are you Xiao Hei?"
Li Qin asked tremblingly.
The toddler actually spoke, "Mama?"
"Uh…"
Li Qin suddenly didn't know what to say. Although she usually referred to herself as Xiao Hei's mother, when Xiao Hei called her "Mama" with his own mouth, she was instantly stunned.
Then Xiao Hei looked at Chen Xiao with his big eyes. He blinked, "Papa?"
Chen Xiao: "…"
Chen Xiao wasn't ready to be a father either, especially since this Xiao Hei was messing with the matchmaking.
He didn't notice that Li Qin's face was already flushed red, and she was secretly looking at him.
To cover up her embarrassment, Li Qin turned and walked out.
"I'll go find him some clothes to wear."
Although the toddler was only two or three years old, he was still a little boy, and Li Qin, as an 'unmarried mother,' was a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "No need. You underestimate your child too much."
Then, as if the toddler understood their conversation, he spun around three times on the ground, and suddenly a pure black bib appeared on his body, covering his sensitive areas.
Li Qin was once again dumbfounded, "This works too?"
"Mama…"
The toddler hugged Li Qin's leg, calling out in a childish voice.
"Eh… hey…"
Li Qin responded reluctantly, very unskillfully.
Chen Xiao curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with you? Xiao Hei has been by your side for so many years, but you still seem like you're not very familiar with him."
Li Qin had a stiff smile on her face, "This child came too suddenly. I wasn't prepared…"
"Mm."
Chen Xiao nodded, agreeing with her. "After Xiao Hei transforms, he only has the intelligence of a two or three-year-old child. But compared to his original form, his intelligence will grow faster. As long as he can reach the intelligence level of an eighteen-year-old adult, he can fully unleash his Golden Core stage strength. Right now, he can only unleash about 50%!"
"Golden Core stage… 50%…"
Li Qin was stunned. Although she spent every day with Xiao Hei, she didn't know that Xiao Hei actually had the cultivation of a Golden Core stage.
Moreover, 50% of the strength of the Golden Core stage meant that Xiao Hei's real strength was already above hers?
Thinking of this, Li Qin's mood was complicated. She didn't know whether she should be unable to accept it or feel gratified.
Chen Xiao's thoughts were much simpler. After Xiao Hei transformed, he would be a genuine fox spirit, and he would be quite beautiful and cute.
Luckily, he was a boy. If he was a girl, what would happen when he grew up? She would definitely be a femme fatale!
"Alright, from now on, he's your child. You have to nurture him well. I believe in you. You can definitely be a good mother!"
Chen Xiao said very irresponsibly. He, the 'father,' was obviously going to be a hands-off manager.
Li Qin curled her lips, "I can't even beat him now. I'm afraid I can't control this child!"
Chen Xiao smiled and took out two Spirit Gathering Pills from his pocket, "Then you have to cultivate hard in the future. It's already a foregone conclusion that you'll be surpassed by your child, so just try not to let him leave you behind too much!"
"Wow, thank you, Brother Chen!"
Seeing these good things, Li Qin didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Xiao and snatched them away.
This time, she learned her lesson and didn't eat them directly. Instead, she planned to use them later at a critical moment for a breakthrough.
But if she knew that Chen Xiao had more than a hundred of these awesome pills in his pocket, who knows what her reaction would be.
Li Qin put away the pills, hugged Xiao Hei, and happily left. Chen Xiao had worked hard to refine pills for two days, but she became the biggest beneficiary.
Of course, Chen Xiao would also share some of the pills with Gu Zhendong and Gongsun Yi. They were all his own people, and their increased strength would also help Chen Xiao.
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Chen Xiao led his group and set off for the pier to meet He Xinyi.
