Chapter 247 I am a little fish (2)
They stayed in the spring for some time, trying to find things they had overlooked in the timeline while absorbing spiritual energy. Finally, at sunrise, with a "splash," Jingli sat down wet in the spring, gaining the body of a "human" in this world.
6058 stood to the side, his mouth opening and closing, and after a long while, he finally spoke in the system: "Idiot... try to conjure up some clothes."

In Koizumi's reflection, Keiri could barely make out her current appearance.
Just like in the previous worlds, he had long, silvery-white hair, but just like the color of his little fish, his hair gradually turned bright red from the middle down, as if it had been dusted with gold powder, making it sparkle.
Jingli touched her face in a daze. Near her temples, there was a scale-like pattern that adhered to her skin like a tattoo.
On each side of his neck were three shallow marks, which were his gills from being a fish.
After transforming, he could breathe through his nose. The three marks were temporarily closed, like a healed wound, or like pink willow leaves.
He was naked at the time, but fortunately there was no one around, so he didn't lose too much of his composure.
After listening to 6058's words, he first sensed the power within his body. Just like in the previous world, under the cover of the domineering energy, there was another faint power fluctuating, similar to the spiritual power in the previous world, but not exactly the same.
Based on her experience from the previous world, Jingli extracted some energy and mixed it with this power to create a garment based on the clothing of the ancient world.
With a "whoosh," he conjured up only a long inner garment, barely covering his body. Then, he was left with only a golden outer garment woven from energy. Unfortunately, to outsiders, this energy garment was like the emperor's new clothes, completely useless.
"?"
Jingli frowned slightly. It seemed that the way energy was converted into this kind of power was not quite the same as that of spiritual power.
He didn't notice that the scales on his temples had materialized from the pattern, and that veil-like fins had sprouted from his arms.
"Little one, you've just taken human form, it's best not to mess around like this."
A woman's voice came from the sky. Jingli looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the woman who had captured him earlier had appeared on the treetop by the spring. She was lying listlessly on her side with an indescribably seductive expression.
With a slight flex, she gracefully landed in front of the scenery, using the elasticity of the slight bend in the branch.
Jingli quickly shrank into the spring water, her cheeks opening and closing slightly, leaving only her eyes outside, blinking warily as she looked at her.
The woman wasn't annoyed. She squatted down, completely unconcerned that the spring water had wet her clothes, and simply reached out to lift Jingli's chin, as if admiring a work of art.
Then, she clicked her tongue twice: "Sigh, I'm starting to regret it."
Her fingers were even colder than Jingli's face, which had just been soaked in the spring water, as she gently brushed against Jingli's cheek and landed on the scales at his temples.
“This little face is much more pleasing to the eye than those heartless men.” She gently flicked Jingli’s cheek. “How could I have been so kind back then? Oh dear.”
She laughed as she spoke, without a trace of regret in her tone, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Little Fish, will you come with me from now on?"
She stood up again, looking down at Jingli: "The world outside is in complete chaos. You're just a little fish that has just transformed, and a..."
She looked at 6058 with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "A little black fish that can't even transform is quite dangerous."
6058 angrily retorted in the system: "This isn't my true form! If it were, I could take on ten of you by myself!"
Unfortunately, the woman couldn't hear. She pulled out a piece of clothing from somewhere, tossed it into the air, and the clothing was neatly put on Jingli's body.
It was then soaked by the spring water.
She didn't care about such a trivial matter, staring blankly at Jingli, then fell into a state of talking to herself again: "Xiaoyu's brain is smaller than a person's, right? You wouldn't betray me, would you?"
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes curved into a smile, and she laughed again: "As long as you don't betray me, as long as I don't die, I'll keep you alive, okay?"
Jingli didn't respond, nor did she need to.
“But if you betray me—” She casually tossed the object aside, causing steam to rise and a purplish-black mist to fill the air, making Jingli feel somewhat uncomfortable.
In an instant, the woman's face was right in front of Jingli's. Her eyes widened, and she grinned from ear to ear: "I'll make you wish you were dead, little fish!"
Jingli's heart clenched violently, and she retreated in a disheveled state, instinctively forming a protective shield with energy and throwing out a small blade formed from energy.
Clearly, the energy couldn't harm the woman who wasn't the shadow, but she seemed to sense something and recovered from her previous frenzied state.
She raised an eyebrow and touched her neck, looking thoughtfully at Jingli, where the energy blade had just slashed.
She didn't think for long, shook her head and scoffed lightly: "You're still too weak, Little Fish. Stay here with your friends and focus on your training."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeve and was about to leave, but then, as if remembering something, she added, "You can turn back into a little fish and live in the spring, or you can go to the house in front and find a room to live in. However, don't go to the big house at the back of the courtyard, or I'm afraid it will scare you."
Her voice regained its previous alluring quality, and she vanished like a ghost near Koizumi.
Once she was sure she had left, Jingli finally let out a sigh of relief.
The woman gave him a very strange feeling, and he dared not speak, for fear of revealing something.
6058 came to his side, popped two bubbles, and spoke to him in the system: [This woman has an evil aura; she's not a righteous cultivator… However, according to the system analysis, she seems… to be Meng Li indeed.]
Jingli frowned.
If that's the case, then the world has clearly changed beyond recognition.
Meng Li, as a key figure connecting the human world and the cultivation world, has gone from being a savior to a heretical cultivator... Just how corrupted has this world become?
6058 and Jingli both fell silent.
After a long pause, Jingli finally said, "At least Meng Li has been found, so it's not entirely bad news."
6058 blew out two bubbles, indicating its approval.
The pollution level in this world, in percentage terms, is only slightly higher than that of the previous world.
But because the world level is higher, this little bit has extraordinary significance.
In the last world, Sefosi was able to almost control the awakening of Sentinels and Guides of the entire world through external means. What about this world? A world where existence transcends the power of mortals?
Has the world already been plunged into chaos and death?
