Chapter 1353 - 1403: Metamorphosis
Na Yi pulled Li Yifei, walking among the flowers, surrounded by butterflies, but he hadn’t seen a single dead butterfly.
The butterfly named Xiaowu by Na Yi fluttered ahead, seemingly very attuned to humans. When it flew too fast, it even seemed to know to wait for the two of them.
They walked in the flower cluster for a long time, and finally arrived at a piece of jade-green stone, about the size of a millstone, with an unusually smooth surface, looking like a whole piece of jade. On the stone, there were lines etched like runes, though Li Yifei hadn’t studied runes much and wasn’t very clear about them.
Xiaowu hovered in front of them, slowly descending, and landed precisely among the runes on the jade stone.
Na Yi showed a trace of confusion in her eyes, turned to look at Li Yifei, but he was even more puzzled, spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, just about to speak when suddenly a brilliance erupted, making the entire jade platform seem to suddenly burst into light.
The rune lines above were activated, emitting ink-green light, forming the character for "witch" in mid-air, but in traditional script, which Li Yifei happened to have seen before.
Na Yi exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.
The little butterfly within the runes slowly floated up, wings spread, controlled by the runes yet seemingly not in pain.
Just then, Li Yifei suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, not emanating from Xiaowu but from beyond the flowers.
Turning around, Li Yifei gently shielded Na Yi, looking around with a serious expression. This dangerous feeling came from his keen perception as an Innate Expert, not entirely accurate but indicating that if real danger arose, it would be difficult to handle.
Na Yi didn’t understand, but seeing Li Yifei so solemn, she remained still, her eyes fixed on Xiaowu, held weightless by the rune’s power.
