Beautiful Girl Transformation

The moonlight shone brightly throughout the courtyard.

Tingting floated up from Li Yu's embrace, hovering in mid-air. Brilliant silver radiance bloomed from within Tingting, casting a layer of silver light over everything in the yard.

"This is too much of a commotion."

Li Yu frowned slightly, waving his hand to cast a light screen that enveloped the entire courtyard, obscuring the brilliant moonlight.

The moonlight grew brighter and brighter. Little Tingting, floating in mid-air, was almost indistinguishable, transforming into a mass of pure moonlight, as if the moon itself had descended into the courtyard.

"Benefactor, what is this..."

Old Jiang's mouth fell open, his eyes wide with astonishment at the scene.

"Taiyin Physique, Cold Moon Physique. This is unparalleled talent!"

Li Yu looked at little Tingting, who had almost become a bright moon, and exclaimed in admiration.

"Benefactor, is Tingting in any danger?"

Old Jiang, still worried, turned to Li Yu and asked.

"Don't worry, she couldn't be better."

Li Yu turned and smiled at Old Jiang, "The Taiyin Physique is manifesting; this is a complete transformation!"

"Okay, okay, hehe."

Old Jiang chuckled dryly. Even though he understood Li Yu's words, he was still worried and paced back and forth in the courtyard, feeling a bit lost.

Fortunately, Old Jiang didn't have to wait long.

A moment later, the boundless moonlight gradually receded, and little Tingting's figure slowly descended.

When the moonlight completely vanished, little Tingting's pretty figure appeared before them.

"Grandpa? Big Brother?"

Little Tingting opened her eyes, her dark pupils faintly carrying a hint of silvery moonlight.

"Tingting, how are you?"

Old Jiang rushed forward, hugged little Tingting, and examined her from head to toe. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Taiyin Physique is indeed extraordinary!"

Li Yu looked at the transformed little Tingting, at the faint moonlight visible on her crystal-clear, jade-like skin, the spiritual energy flowing like mercury within her, and her ice-skinned, jade-boned body. Li Yu was filled with admiration.

"Big Brother, thank you."

Little Tingting walked up to Li Yu, her bright eyes wide, looking up at him. A pure smile graced her porcelain-doll-like face, making her incredibly adorable.

"I'm not a lolicon! I'm not!"

Li Yu took a deep breath, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then smiled, nodding at little Tingting, "Little Tingting, brother didn't lie to you. Your illness is cured."

"Thank you, Big Brother. Big Brother is so amazing."

Little Tingting looked up at Li Yu with adoration, then giggled, "It's just that Big Brother can't even comb his hair, he's so clumsy."

"Uh..."

Li Yu was speechless.

"Hee hee."

Little Tingting giggled and tugged at Li Yu's sleeve, "From now on, I'll comb Big Brother's hair for him."

"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Tingting."

Li Yu smiled, patted little Tingting's head, and turned to Old Jiang, "Old man, didn't you say it was time to eat? Come on, let's go eat!"

The three of them walked into the small shop ahead, chatting and laughing.

Old Jiang served the dishes, and just as the three were about to eat, they suddenly heard a sharp scream from outside the door.

"Ah..."

"I discovered Source Ore, and you're trying to silence me. Your Li Family will die a horrible death!"

The voice from outside startled the three of them.

"Someone's being killed?"

Little Tingting, frightened, shrunk back into her grandfather's arms, her little face turning pale.

"Don't be afraid. Big Brother is here."

Li Yu comforted her, then said to Old Jiang, "Old man, I'll go take a look."

With that, Li Yu got up and walked towards the door.

He reached out and pulled open the shop door. A man covered in blood lay at the entrance, barely clinging to life, as if only half his breath remained.

"How interesting."

Li Yu looked at the scene, shaking his head with a cold smile.

Silenced by the Li Family? And then coincidentally escaped to Old Jiang's doorstep? And then coincidentally had only half a breath left? And then coincidentally was still able to reveal the secret of the Source Ore?

How stupid could I be to fall for such a trap?

But… I'm bored anyway, so I'll play along!

With a flick of his finger, a spark of spiritual light scattered towards the man lying in a pool of blood. The man's wounds healed rapidly, and in a moment, the dying man was restored.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving me. Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving me."

The middle-aged man, who looked like an herb gatherer, prostrated himself before Li Yu, repeatedly kowtowing.

"Get up."

Li Yu waved his hand, sending out a gust of wind that lifted the middle-aged man. Looking up at him, Li Yu asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Reporting to the Immortal Master. This humble one is Zhang San, an herb gatherer from town. Some time ago, I discovered a 'Source Stone' in a cave."

Zhang San replied respectfully, "At the time, I thought of selling it to the Li Family to earn some money to support my household. I never expected that the Li Family would not only refuse to pay but also try to kill me to silence me. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, I fled."

"Then why did you flee here?"

Li Yu smiled at Zhang San, his tone very casual.

"I heard that an Immortal Master had arrived from the Yan State and had already dealt with people from the Li Family. I thought that as long as I ran to you, the Li Family would definitely not dare to make a move."

Zhang San looked at Li Yu with a nervous expression. "Immortal Master, you won't blame me, will you?"

"So that's how it is."

Li Yu nodded, sighing inwardly.

This Zhang San was likely innocent, just a pawn used by others.

The Li Family's move wasn't exactly brilliant; any discerning person could see the problem. But… this was a "Source Stone"! How many cultivators could resist such temptation?

Even if they knew there was a problem, they would harbor a sliver of hope, thinking that with their own skills, it wouldn't be difficult to swallow the bait and spit out the hook.

The more arrogant ones would even believe that with their own strength, they could suppress any great conspiracy with sheer force.

But Li Yu was different!

Source Ore was mainly distributed in the northern regions. What major Source Ore deposits could be found near the Yan State? How could such a small thing tempt him?

However, to keep the play going, Li Yu naturally had to cooperate.

"Source Stone? Where did you find it?"

Li Yu feigned great interest, his eyes shining as he looked at Zhang San, saying eagerly, "Quick, tell me quickly."

"Immortal Master, I found the Source Stone in a cave on a cliff about fifty miles east of Dongshan."

Zhang San answered truthfully.

"Mm. I understand."

Li Yu nodded and waved his hand at Zhang San. "Your injuries have healed. You should go back now."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"

Zhang San thanked him repeatedly, got up, and left.

"Heh heh."

Li Yu turned his head to glance in the direction of Dongshan, a slight smile on his lips. "I wonder what surprise the Li Family has prepared for me there? I'm truly looking forward to it!"
