Chapter 552: Chapter 454: Ten-Year-Old Body, Miniature Zhao Yi
How did I turn into this?
After his body stopped changing, Zhao Yi examined himself up and down, his eyes revealing a look of amazent.
His body was now only about a ter high, almost like a child around ten years old.
The whole person was like a miniature version of himself.
At the sa ti, when he spoke, his voice was also still naive.
"Is this still ?"
"The River of Ti actually returned
to my appearance from ten years ago, not just the age, everything changed, thankfully the mories in my mind are still there, otherwise it would be troubleso."
"But where is this place? It seems sowhat familiar, I used to look down from the sky, I must have been here before."
"Moreover, what about the River of Ti? It brought
here and then disappeared?"
"The Nine Dragon Jade Seal finally said I must find the entrance to the River of Ti in this world, but given the current situation, how am I supposed to find it?"
...
Zhao Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly, then looked at the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, sowhat relieved it was still there.
Though it had beco miniaturized, about the size of a thumb, it allowed Zhao Yi to easily carry it, so there was no worry about soone stealing it.
However.
Zhao Yi glanced at himself again, feeling like crying but having no tears.
The person had shrunk into a child’s form, but his clothes hadn’t!
He had to tear his clothes and tie them everywhere just to barely put them on.
As for his shoes, he threw them away directly, and barefoot, he looked around.
It was a barren plain, with yellow sand everywhere and no trace of green.
In the distance, there stood a city; Zhao Yi lifted his foot to walk there, thinking he had to find a populated place first to figure out where he was.
About half an hour later.
Zhao Yi arrived at the bottom of the city, where two guards stood at the city gate. Seeing their attire, a bad feeling surged in his heart.
This looked like the Magic World he had recently arrived at?
Recalling those he had offended before, Zhao Yi sighed inwardly, hoping not to encounter any old acquaintances!
He didn’t know how many people had seen him when he appeared at the Divine Mountain, or how many had witnessed him.
The Great Mage had perished completely, but there were still many minions below.
What’s more,
this world still had the existence of the Heavenly Dao Will, without the Nine Dragon Jade Seal’s protection; if discovered by the Heavenly Dao Will, there would truly be no escape.
The two guards saw Zhao Yi standing there in ridiculous attire—wearing an adult male’s clothing. Although the clothes seed extraordinary, such a big child with a face full of dust and a tired look probably had been abandoned.
This was common in the Magic World.
If a child showed no magic talent, so cruel-hearted parents would abandon them.
Thinking of this,
one of the guards stepped forward and said, "Do you have nowhere to go? This is Earth City; we can take you in. If you’re willing, I can take you to the orphanage inside."
Zhao Yi was about to refuse; he was here to find the entrance to the River of Ti, what would he do in an orphanage?
However, the na Earth City confird his guess that this must be the Magic World.
He had heard about this city when he ca before; it was mostly earth-elent mages, primarily focused on defense, with few attack thods.
Seeing him silent, another guard smiled and stepped forward, "Ha, poor little fellow!"
"Maybe he’s too tired and doesn’t know how long he’s been walking to get here. You propose sending him to an orphanage right away; haven’t you considered it might hurt the child’s feelings? Cover my shift, and I’ll take him ho for so hot food; perhaps it’ll cheer him up."
"Hans, are you sure about this, does your family have any food left?"
The guard nad Hans waved his hand, "Even if the rice jar runs dry, can we let a child go hungry?"
Zhao Yi was about to shake his head but was taken away by Hans without further ado.
When they reached Hans’s ho, it was a simple wooden hut, and inside sat a girl about ten years old. When she saw Hans, she bounced over excitedly.
"Father, aren’t you supposed to be working now? Why are you back suddenly?"
"Oh, and who is this boy?"
Hans patted the girl’s head, replying, "Alice, he’s a holess child. Seeing his pitiful state, I brought him back. I think he hasn’t had a al in a long ti. You chat with him while I steam so coarse grain pancakes for him."
Hearing the ntion of coarse grain pancakes, Alice’s eyes lit up with desire.
Then, she looked at Zhao Yi, hiding the eagerness in her eyes.
She stepped forward, smiling cheerfully, and said to Zhao Yi, "Hi, I’m Alice, and I’m ten years old."
Zhao Yi: "..."
He didn’t know how to start talking, as inside this ten-year-old body resided a soul of decades old.
He honestly had no experience in communicating with small girls.
Seeing him silent, Alice pouted, "Why don’t you talk? Do you want to be friends with Alice?"
"The nearby kids have suddenly stopped playing with ; Alice is so bored at ho every day. If you’re willing, whenever there are coarse grain pancakes again, I’ll share them with you."
"And the toys made by my father, and many interesting things, Alice will share them all with you."
The little girl was very pretty, with short golden hair draped over her shoulders, well-defined features, and skin fairer than snow. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with joy, clearly delighted by Zhao Yi’s arrival.
Zhao Yi finally couldn’t help it and lightly replied, "Okay!"
"Really?"
"I finally have a friend!"
Alice was very happy and hurried off into the kitchen to share her joy with Hans.
Before long, Hans handed Zhao Yi a pancake the size of a frying pan: "Eat up and fill your stomach first."
Now,
besides his formidable body, Zhao Yi had no cultivation. Without the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, he naturally felt hunger and fatigue.
Though the coarse grain pancake wasn’t particularly tasty, it was enough for the mont.
After eating, Zhao Yi quietly contemplated what to do next.
He had no clue whatsoever now, who knew where the entrance to the River of Ti was hidden. Moreover, even if he found it, what then? Recalling the terror of the Ancient Nether Spring at the Litian Sword Sect, it was likely beyond what he could handle.
Furthermore,
in this child’s body, he needed to eat, drink, and take care of other necessities daily, and he needed self-preservation power.
Beside him,
Alice, after playing for a while, began to sit and perceive the magic power of the world.
She had an earth attribute, and it was evident that her cultivation talent was good. Countless earth elents rushed toward her body joyfully.
Zhao Yi watched with interest, realizing the earth elents were a murky yellow, much like the earth outside.
As he pondered this, suddenly, he was startled.
Then, incredulously, he pointed at those earth elents.
"I can actually see them?"
