"Are you guys beatboxing?"

Tang You, holding a barbecue grill and roasting chicken wings, looked oddly at the bizarre interaction between a fox, a toddler, and a girl in the corner. The fox went "whimper," the toddler went "wah," and the girl puffed up her cheeks and went "ooh ooh ooh" with them.

"Come over and eat chicken wings..."

Tang You opened the grill, taking out all the wings that were cooked inside.

However, Tang You didn't notice that as he called out for the kids to eat chicken wings, it drew some people to cast glances at him.

Ah Qing, Momo, Lin Ying, and Unos, who were eavesdropping, along with Wang Qiqi, who was trying hard to translate despite not quite understanding, all looked at Tang You with a resigned expression.

Although Treasure Tree appears to be a brute force type of Spirit Beast, its evolutionary degree is extremely perfect, capable of transforming autonomously.

But in a way, Treasure Tree should be considered a healer-type Spirit Beast, uniquely rare across Blue Star.

After all...

Some Spirit Beasts in the Qinling Mountain Range evolved into Spirit Beasts only after consuming seeds from Treasure Tree's fruit.

Treasure Tree's core Spirit Beasts are all Guardian Level.

Treasure Tree, who usually didn't speak, was just explaining its core traits to Master Fuli.

Unos, who understood the languages of three beings, was evidently the most gossipy octopus in the group.

"Ah Qing, I want honey chicken wings, Orleans and garlic aren't my favorites!"

Ansheng spun around in Ah Qing's arms, raising a paw to point at a dozen chicken wings on the grill, specifically pointing at those coated with honey, asking Ah Qing to help him get some.

"No problem, it's your birthday today. You can have your fill of cola and chicken wings. But save some room!"

"Later, there's a big chicken leg waiting!"

Ah Qing glanced at the grill behind him, thinking about roasting ostrich and lamb legs. Though they can be barbecued, due to thickness, Momo didn't grill them but instructed Lingren and Tang You to toss them into the grill on the rooftop for slow roasting, to be eaten as a midnight snack.

Momo is trustworthy when it comes to cooking.

But don't trust her too much, as she occasionally posts videos of "exploding" kitchens on social media, maintaining her persona as a cooking idiot.

"Ah Qing, come with me for a bit..."

Once they'd eaten enough, Ansheng nudged Ah Qing's side with his snout, and extended his tail to prod Wang Qiqi, who was eating and drinking while bragging.

"What's up?"

Ah Qing looked at the little fox, lifting a milk tea cup, climbing onto his shoulder, and gazing towards the stairway.

Ah Qing and Wang Qiqi left the rooftop, led by Ansheng, returning to Momo's house.

"Of course, we're going to find a way to turn you into a Fox Lady!"

Ansheng set the cup on the table, showing a pleased expression as he spoke:

"Old Wang, you try it first. I've just tasted it and it won't poison the foxes, but I worry Ah Qing might not handle it after drinking, so try it for potency first..."

"Of course, if you're afraid, you can treat it like a skincare essence and do a patch test or something."

Ansheng nudged the milk tea cup forward, signaling Wang Qiqi to help test for poison.

The Spirit Particle Potion from Treasure Tree is very potent, and Ansheng was worried Ah Qing couldn't handle it and might lose control in a daze.

"...Forget the skincare essence. I haven't convinced the cats to come home yet, don't disfigure me." Wang Qiqi looked pensively at the milk tea cup and asked, "Treasure Tree Spirit Liquid... can I take some samples to the research institute for testing?"

"Of course, no problem," Ansheng nodded in agreement.

"Alright then..."

Wang Qiqi pressed down on the end of the straw, drawing about a unit of Spirit Liquid onto his hand for testing to check for adverse reactions.

But.

As soon as the Treasure Tree Spirit Liquid made contact with his skin, it dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving Wang Qiqi stunned.

"What the...!"

Without injecting the Spirit Particle Potion, Wang Qiqi's body began to self-spiritualize, and unlike his previous Golden Leopard spiritualization, his form grew taller, soaring from one meter seventy something to two meters twenty-three, his body expanded several sizes, looking quite powerful.

Wang Qiqi stared in disbelief at his new spiritualized form.

He took off his down jacket and tossed it aside, instinctively raised his arm, bending it to show off his biceps.

Driven by instinct, Wang Qiqi's left arm muscles swelled, while his thick back muscles thinned rapidly, as if his muscles were shifting.

The Golden Leopard is a massive creature, nearly half a ton in weight.

But it possesses the ability to manipulate muscle and bone density.

If the Golden Leopard wished, it could focus its energy on one point and punch with earth-shattering force.

However, this ability cannot be inherited through spiritualization in Wang Qiqi's physical form.

The current human physique is too weak, unable to forcefully supercharge abilities that might involve the Life Blueprint without harm.

Yet Wang Qiqi, after absorbing the high-purity Spirit Particle Potion freshly squeezed from Treasure Tree, seemed to unlock some genes at the base level.

"This power..."

Wang Qiqi looked amazed, raising both arms, recalling in her mind what the Golden Leopard had said, as her towering form quickly shrank, her snowy-white skin turning fair with a hint of red, her heart pumping powerfully.

"Go!"

Wang Qiqi exerted strength into her legs, her entire being traversing over thirty meters across the hall, transforming into a gust of wind, flying out the balcony towards the greenery in the east of Phoenix City District, nearly crashing into the building next door.

"Crazy cat! Don't wreck the house!"

Ansheng leapt up, rolling his eyes, righting and securing what Wang Qiqi had just knocked over.

"Ah, this..."

Ah Qing widened her eyes, quickly running to the balcony, looking towards Wang Qiqi who had fallen from the thirteenth floor.

"Senior, do you... need an ambulance?"

Ah Qing had seen Momo's spiritualization, but she'd never witnessed the Spirit People's power, especially such a super Spirit Person.

"OK!"

Within the greenery, having tapped into the force of her fall from above, Wang Qiqi looked at her exploded shoes and the tips of her toes poking out of her stockings, appearing baffled, turned around giving Ah Qing an OK hand gesture. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But.

After making the OK gesture, she was stunned for a moment. Ah Qing was on the thirteenth floor, with strong winds blowing, and even Ah Qing's soft voice wasn't particularly loud...

How was she able to hear that clearly?

Goodness gracious! No wonder the Golden Leopard kicks me right away whenever I secretly fart under the covers.

Turns out its hearing is this sharp!

"As long as you're alright, that's what matters..." Ah Qing's frightened expression on her face eased a bit.

She turned back, together with the little fox, both staring at the milk tea cup on the table.

"Xiaolan..."

"After I drink, I won't fly too, right? I actually have a bit of a fear of heights..."

Ah Qing swallowed a bit nervously, looking at the little fox, timidly raising her hand to report to the fox mentor.

"Do I look like I have wings? I don't have wings, so how would you fly?" Ansheng rolled his eyes and said.
