Chapter 1291: Chapter 773: Transformation
“Ye’er, you… what’s wrong with you?” As the door opened, Wen Xin greeted her joyfully, then immediately grew anxious.
Her precious daughter, her face all covered in soot and dirt. If she was five or six, she wouldn’t be surprised, but her daughter was almost twenty, and with her skills, who could bully her?
“Ye’er… went to put out a fire?” Wen Xin suspiciously eyed Luo Ye up and down, but if she did go to put out a fire, how could her clothes be so clean?
“Mom, I’ll talk to you after I shower.” Luo Ye smiled wearily and walked unsteadily towards her bedroom, which had an en-suite bathroom.
Luo Ye hurriedly stepped forward to hold her daughter: “Alright, go shower. I’ll find you some clothes to change into.”
“Mom, no need. I’ll do it myself. You go sleep, and I’ll tell you what happened in the morning…” Luo Ye smiled weakly, “Where’s Dad? He hasn’t come back yet?”
“Mm, your dad has a meeting tonight, so who knows when he’ll be back. I…, alright then, Ye’er, after your shower, go straight to bed. Talk to me in the morning about what happened.”
Luo Ye acknowledged, opened the bedroom door, and smiled back at Wen Xin: “Good night, Mom.”
“Good night.” Wen Xin hesitated for a moment, then left.
“Uh…” Closing the door, entering the bathroom, she turned on the shower, and her forced strength crumbled. Luo Ye stood under the spray, still dressed, biting her fist hard, sobbing uncontrollably.
Mom was right; she had indeed put out a fire.
However, that fire was ignited by her. After running the Ye Family’s Heart Method thrice, her pain had eased considerably, but the heat at her forehead increased ever higher.
Without a mirror, she couldn’t see herself but could guess she must have been flushed, terrifyingly red.
Without warning, the little tree in front of her began to blaze.
She wanted to extinguish it but couldn’t take care of herself, let alone make those fierce flames disappear. She wanted to call for help, but her throat felt as if it were being choked dry.
The wind-fed flames grew fiercer; she wanted to leave but was immobile. Without reason, her body automatically moved through the Ye Family’s Heart Method, unstoppable even if she tried.
Despite being in a sea of flames, her whole being felt as if floating, devoid of even the slightest heat.
Not knowing how long had passed, she found herself lying in the woods, two meters away where everything was fiercely burnt to the ground.
Dou Dou was long gone.
She circled the woods several times, but couldn’t find any trace of Dou Dou.
Given the fire’s situation then, Dou Dou could have sacrificed itself in the fire just to save her; not impossible.
Moreover, she remembered the flames bizarrely rushing toward her, making it possible Dou Dou’s body was consumed without a trace…
It’s said animals have a stronger sense than humans; maybe Dou Dou foresaw her impending disaster and went early searching for terrain, taking her to that place…
This kind of speculation, despite many unexplained aspects like when she returned that night, was entirely of her volition, without outside interference, then how Dou Dou responded…
But, since her return, many things had become inexplicable…
From what she knew of Dou Dou, not unless in exceptional circumstances, Dou Dou would never abandon her in such a situation!
She was the one who harmed it.
Initially, she saved it, yet over the years she’d ignored it. Even this time, though realizing its anomaly, she thought nothing more, just assuming it was in heat.
Even later when Feng Tianzhi mentioned it, she paid no real attention.
So, everything was her responsibility!
Her wrist bled from biting, but she felt no pain, and the salty taste spread in her mouth, bringing back her withdrawn senses.
Slowly removing her clothes, scrubbing the grime off, she walked to the mirror…
Her skin, tender as an infant’s, features more defined than before, the red mark at her brow deeper in color, her figure seemingly more… alluring.
Her clear beauty now had a faint color, her original clarity like magnolia, now charmingly vibrant like purple magnolia — she transformed from a little girl into a clear, enchanting young woman!
Her fingertips gently brushed across her skin… she could hardly believe this was her body, once delicate as porcelain, now adult yet exquisite.
