"What happened, Xi Qi?" Lu Yin asked.
Everyone crowded around Xi Qi.
Meanwhile, deep inside the Forbidden Land, Trash Fish was still transforming. Its body grew larger and larger as it entered a process of metamorphosis.
At first, Xi Qi couldn't make out Lu Yin. She only saw blurry figures surrounding her. With a startled cry, she tried to run, but no matter what she did, she couldn't break free.
"Xi Qi, it's me." Lu Yin spoke in a low voice.
Xi Qi's body trembled. Only then did her vision clear, and she recognized Lu Yin. She covered her mouth in surprise. "Lord Lu?"
Lu Yin looked at her. "What happened? Why did you faint here?"
"Faint?" Xi Qi blinked and looked around. Her mouth fell open. Mr. Mu? Master Cao? Ancient God? Why were so many important figures gathered here? And why were they staring at her?
Wait. She suddenly looked toward the Forbidden Land, and her face paled. This was bad. They'd found out. It had to be because the place smelled so bad it was affecting the environment. It had even alarmed Lord Lu.
She hurriedly apologized. "I'm sorry, Lord Lu. I'm sorry. I'll clean it up right away. It was all that Trash Fish's fault. I'm sorry, Lord Lu. I'll make sure this place is spotless. I'm sorry."
Lu Yin's gaze shifted toward the Forbidden Land. "That couldn't be Trash Fish, could it?"
Old Ancestor Lu Yuan and the others froze, then slowly turned to look toward the Forbidden Land. No way.

Following Lu Yin's gaze, Xi Qi looked deep into the Forbidden Land and saw Trash Fish in the middle of its transformation. Her mouth fell open. "What is that?"
The transformation inside the Forbidden Land lasted a full half-month before
