"Hmm! This must be the prelude to bloodline awakening!" Honda was consolidating his newly reached third level when he saw various phantoms standing below. There were armored zombies, headless knights, alluring succubi... and so on! It seems the crystallization of the Vine Queen has begun to activate, and the World Tree bloodline dormant within Li Jiayu's body has awakened.
"If only I could ride a dragon," Honda sighed, gazing at the frost dragon soaring in the sky. He really wanted to own one of these imposing creatures, but given his current circumstances, it was probably too expensive.
With a reluctant glance at the Frost Dragon, Honda sat down at the table and began to meditate. Because Honda was a high-level combatant comparable to Li Jiayu, having a private room reserved for him meant no one would disturb his rest. This also proved that Li Jiayu had fully recovered, and Honda had no intention of visiting that eccentric, chrysanthemum-obsessed maniac.
"I'll go check on Li Jiayu again tomorrow. It's so nice to have someone accompany me on this journey!" Speaking of which, Zeus should be considered a transmigrator, but slightly better off than Li Jiayu in that she didn't have to suffer watching herself slowly become female. The downside is that Zeus permanently lost her 'two brothers,' while Li Jiayu, as a seed of the World Tree, inherently has no gender. She can be male or female! Zeus is so envious... cough Scratch that, Honda, with the idea of completely turning Li Jiayu into a female character, fell into deep thought.
"I almost forgot. It's important!" Honda, who was attracted by Li Jiayu's gender transformation, suddenly remembered someone who had the same experience as Honda and Li Jiayu.
Quietly leaving his room, Honda went to another secluded spot. A place almost every Awakened One feared, and even some students who knew about it dared not come here. After all, nobody wanted to undergo gender reassignment surgery!
"Right here!" Honda sensed a solitary life in a room and walked in without hesitation!
As Honda, who was familiar with the 'jelly', reached out his devilish claws... cough cough hand, one second, two seconds, three minutes, ten minutes.
"It didn't work!" Honda glanced at his ample bosom with disappointment and shook his head. He left the room before Jelly woke up, because he had used a little magic before touching her. He had made her sleep soundly, so Honda wasn't worried at all that she would suddenly wake up and see his secret.
If this body can block the jelly's gender-changing aura, then the original essence, the cosmos, which originates from the pinnacle of Greek mythology, must also be able to block it. Therefore, Honda didn't release his original essence out indiscriminately; if Gaia discovered it, it would be a greater loss than gain.
Honda ignored the joyous cheers of his classmates (because Li Jiayu had woken up) and went straight back to his room. He channeled his grief and anger into cultivation power; after all, this body belonged to Honda, not Zeus, and the power of cultivation wouldn't return to Zeus. Zeus was now diligently honing her sword (Hondo's body) to increase her self-defense capabilities and ensure she could escape Gaia!
While Honda was training, in Li Jiayu's room, a certain tentacle began a meeting with Yi Bao and Ju Kuangmo!
"Master… just now… while you were unconscious… many high-level dark creatures… were with you…"
"I."
"You...you did it...you made them all scramble to form contracts with you...each one of them is so powerful...the octopus would only be instantly killed by them...especially the Frost Dragon...the octopus kneels before it..."
"Your master is a genius with limitless potential. Is that explanation enough?"
"Well..."
"What nonsense! I'm even more surprised than you. How were you able to stay in this world when I died? According to the rules of the Summoning Realm, you should have obediently gone back to the spacetime rift."
"Even the octopus can't understand... Octopuses only eat, drink, and have fun; they think with their butts. Master, asking them is pointless..."
"This is really weird... Ugh, whatever, my soul is a complete mess, the summoning is totally chaotic, and now my head is spinning... Why don't you go back to the spacetime rift? You'll recover faster in your lair."
"No... the octopus is here... living a good life... with pretty girls... taking care of and protecting it..."
"Alright, go ahead and go chat with your pretty girl, don't get in my way! Can't you see I want to be alone with Xiao Wanqing?"
"Oh... the octopus is going to get lost... but... Master, are you really... alright...? That has serious side effects... it's impossible to go without paying the price..."
"Get lost! My affairs are none of your business!"
"Master... around three or four in the morning... the octopus sneaked into the girls' restroom in the dark... and stole all the pretty girls' underwear... it tasted delicious..."
As it spoke, the dark octopus crawled out of the window, its tentacles sticking to the wall, looking unconventional and even smug.
"Eat my ass! You worthless bastard! Just die!"
Li Jiayu's face turned extremely ugly. He kicked the dark octopus on the head. He didn't actually use much force, but unfortunately, he touched the wound on the dark octopus's forehead. The dark octopus had once had its head pierced by a demonic vine, and its brains had spilled out. Even though it had recovered overnight, the wound there was still very painful!
The dark octopus was clinging to the wall when it suddenly felt a sharp pain and immediately fell off the thirteenth-floor window!
"Ah... Master... You've gone too far..."
"I'll make sure you don't die from this, you pervert!"
Li Jiayu rolled her eyes as she watched the dark octopus plummet. An ordinary person falling from the thirteenth floor would certainly die, but fortunately, the dark octopus's body was flexible enough that it shouldn't die from the fall; at most, it would suffer some serious injuries. Although the punishment was a bit harsh, it was good to teach it a lesson…
After closing the window and drawing the curtains, Li Jiayu gave Xiao Wanqing an awkward smile and began trying to win her favor. Once Xiao Wanqing had rested from her exhaustion, Li Jiayu looked out the window. Faintly, a hazy light appeared on the distant horizon—dawn had broken!
"Cousin, cousin...you're in Xijiang City too...Don't worry, I'll come save you! I owe you so much kindness in my past life, I'll definitely repay it tenfold in this one! Oh, and I also need to thank Sister Honda, without her I probably would have been drained of my spiritual energy by the summoned beasts and died." Thinking this, a complex expression flashed in Li Jiayu's eyes. She hadn't expected that the person she wanted to protect would actually save her life in a moment of crisis! How ironic! It seemed she still wasn't strong enough.
"In this life, I will definitely stand on high and fight alongside you. Sister Honda!" Li Jiayu silently said in her heart as she watched the sunrise.
