"Can I really swallow it?" Meng Yao asked in surprise, because the pill in her hand was a superior grade pill.
Qiao Xiao nodded with a mischievous smile. "Go ahead. You can relax, because I won't ask you to pay for it."
Liu Ying was just watching them with great curiosity, because if Meng Yao didn't recognize the herbs, then she was certain that the pill wasn't an ordinary pill.
Despite her hesitation, Meng Yao decided to swallow Qiao Xiao's pill, and she didn't forget to use her energy to speed up the pill's effect. After a while, she still didn't feel any change, then she looked at Qiao Xiao with raised eyebrows.
"Wait a little longer, because the pill won't work until its effects have completely spread throughout the body." Qiao Xiao naturally knew when the pill's effect would take effect, because she was the concocter, and she had also used the pill herself.
And it was true what Qiao Xiao said, moments later Meng Yao's body was enveloped in a grayish white aura. Meng Yao felt her body becoming uncomfortable, and she asked Qiao Xiao frantically. "What happened to my body? Why do I feel so uncomfortable?"
"It will be over soon, and you will also know the result afterwards." Qiao Xiao laughed mischievously as she winked at her.
Soon Liu Ying, Fang Fang, and Lin Yan gawked in shock. Since Meng Yao's body had shrunk to that of a little girl like Qiao Xiao, they even rubbed their eyes to make sure they didn't see her wrongly.
"I knew it would become like this!" Xia Tian shook his head at Meng Yao's change, as he had also seen Qiao Xiao's body shrink like that in the past.
"Hahaha!" Qiao Xiao laughed with satisfaction seeing that someone else had tasted her strange pill.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeng Yao herself still hadn't noticed the changes in her body, so she asked Liu Ying. "Ying'er-" but she was taken aback when her voice changed. "Why... Why is my voice like this?"
Liu Ying didn't say anything to her, she then took a mirror, and gave it to Meng Yao so she could see for herself. Meng Yao was confused because Liu Ying gave her a mirror, and her eyes widened after seeing her reflection in the mirror. "What... what the hell! Why... why did I become a child like her?"
"Hehe. My pill's name is Body Reshaping Pill, and its effects are as you can see for yourself. Aren't you an expert alchemist? As punishment for your arrogance, I'll let you make the antidote yourself." Qiao Xiao mocked her disdainfully, then she said to Xia Tian. "I will take Little Jing and Little Ying to go see that old geezer right now, Tian. Because this matter must not be delayed for too long, or the consequences will be dire."
"En, let me know right away when you have got the answer." Xia Tian also agreed with Qiao Xiao's words, if the prophecy was true then they should prepare beforehand. "By the way, don't tell that old geezer about me, I don't want to meet him yet."
"En okay." Qiao Xiao nodded at him. "But I think it's useless, the old geezer must know that you are still alive, it's just that he doesn't know the current you."
Xia Tian said with a sigh. "That's right, the old geezer is the Oracle after all."
After that, they went to Fan Jing's room leaving Meng Yao still in shock, and Qiao Xiao rushed to take the Elf Sisters away to meet the Oracle.
Meanwhile, in the main hall Meng Yao was still mourning his shrinking body. "Who exactly is that little girl, Ying'er?"
"As you have heard, Elder Meng. Her name is Qiao Xiao, she is my master as well as Tian." Liu Ying casually replied.
"Is she from the Holy Central Continent?" Meng Yao asked in frustration.
"You could say so." Liu Ying didn't want to expose Qiao Xiao's true identity to her. "It's better if Elder Meng returns immediately and looks for the antidote, since my Master hasn't taught me about the pill yet, so I can't help you."
With a heavy heart and full of frustration, Meng Yao finally brought Fang Fang and Lin Yan back to the Vermilion Imperial Sect. Because she had to hurry to find the antidote, and immediately change her body back into an adult body again, otherwise she would become a joke among alchemists.
-------------------------------------
Somewhere in the Holy Central Continent
A young woman with waist-length brown hair was sitting dreamily on a cliff, she kept sighing as she continued to rub her stomach. "It's almost two months, but I still can't believe that I got pregnant right away after that night. Although I didn't expect this to happen to me, but I will definitely give birth and take good care of you later. As for your father, I still can't go to meet him, otherwise the three of us will be in danger."
*Tap... Tap...*
"Why are you alone in this place, Qilian?" The old man's question woke the woman from her daydream.
"I was just thinking about something, Dad." Tian Qilian softly answered his father, and his father's name was Tian Hu. "Anyway, did you just come back, Dad?"
"Yes, I just came back." Tian Hu then sat beside his daughter, and asked again. "What are you thinking, Qilian?"
"I-" Tian Qilian hesitated to tell her father, then she took a deep breath and said it anyway. "I wanted to tell you that I'm pregnant, Dad."
Then both fell silent, Tian Hu then looked at his daughter in disbelief, and said. "What did you say just now? Please repeat yourself again, Qilian."
Tian Qian brought her face close to her father's ear, and repeated her words. "I'm pregnant, Dad!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are...are you serious? Are...are you really pregnant, Qilian?" Tian Hu asked stuttering, of course he was shocked by his daughter's confession.
"That's right, Dad. And my pregnancy is almost two months old, so you're going to be a grandpa soon." However, Tian Qilian's expression turned gloomy after saying that. "It's just, I'm afraid that person will come after me again, and if he find out that I'm pregnant, then he will definitely do anything to capture me."
"Why don't you just go to that guy's place? Perhaps, you'll be safe from that guy, if you hide there." Tian Hu tried to come up with a solution, because he was also worried about his daughter who was always being chased by that person.
Tian Qilian shook her head. "He's still too weak, Dad. If I went to his place now, it would put him and his family in danger."
"So what are you going to do now, Qilian?" Tian Hu glumly asked.
"I don't know, Dad. Maybe I'll hide until my child is born." Tian Qilian said as she looked towards the south. "By the way, where is He Shiyun now? I haven't seen her in a long time."
Tian Hu smiled bitterly hearing his daughter ask about He Shiyun. "I sent her to protect Xia Tian, but she got carried away by her emotions and attacked him. And he used his technique on her, so now she's become his contract beast."
"Eh?" Tian Qilian was surprised to hear her father's words. "Shiyun made a contract with Xia Tian?"
"Shiyun didn't make a contract with him, Qilian. But she was forced to contract by him." Tian Yu replied with a shake of his head. "Looks like that guy isn't an ordinary person, because this is the first time I've heard of a technique that can forcefully contract beasts."
"Do you think a man who has a contract with the Moon Fox race is an ordinary person, Dad?" Tian Qilian said with a smile, actually one of the reasons she didn't kill Xia Tian was because of Yue.
Tian Yu raised his eyebrows, as he asked. "He has a contract with Moon Fox?"
"En, that Moon Fox isn't just an ordinary Moon Fox, Dad." Tian Qilian replied with a nod. "Judging by her fur, it's clear that she's a Royal Moon Fox, but I don't know how she ended up on this planet."
"Royal... Royal Moon Fox? Are you serious?" Tan Qilian nodded to her father, she then told Tian Yu what she knew about Xia Tian, and she also wanted to hear He Shiyun's report to her father about Xia Tian.
