I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 112 Waterproof Wings

"Qingping, you ate one more piece than me, why are you taking mine? Give it back to me..."

Qingze's indignant cries carried far and wide, alarming many of the forest's native inhabitants.

However, these alien races were not easy to deal with, so most of them could only choose to stay away quietly, with only a few busybodies still secretly spying on them.

A pot of boiled fish completely changed Leyou's perception of fish. Together with Qingze, who had just returned from hunting, after finishing their meal and still feeling unsatisfied, the two set their sights on the seemingly calm lake.

"Leyou, do you think it would be too much to ask Lezhi to help us catch some more fish?" Qingze seemed to be asking for Leyou's opinion, but he had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to get started at any time.

"Probably not, Lezhi probably wants to eat it too, right!"

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and stared intently at Lezhi, their eyes full of expectation. Lezhi couldn't bring herself to refuse and quickly nodded.

"Doing it is definitely no problem, but how are you two planning to grab it? Go into the water? Wouldn't that be too safe?"

Because he himself is not a good swimmer, Lezhi subconsciously worries about Leyou and the others, since he wouldn't be able to help if something really happened.

The fur ball, which had just taken a bite, seemed to have figured out Leyou and Qingze's plan. Its little black bean eyes darted around, and it suddenly chirped loudly to interrupt.

Although he was very tempted, Leyou, who was still rational, knew that Lezhi's worries were justified. He looked at Leting, who was also worried, and opened his mouth, but did not know how to answer Lezhi.

“Yes, Leyou, why don’t we just forget about it? The prey Qingze just brought back and the meat patties we prepared earlier are enough to eat. We can figure out a way to cook the fish later.” Le Ting noticed Leyou’s hesitation and quickly advised him.

Qingze, who had been waiting on the sidelines, observed the entire conversation and finally understood what the little ones were worried about.

"Hey you guys, have you forgotten I'm still here?" Qingze stepped forward, interrupting the somewhat inexplicably dejected atmosphere between Leyou and the other two. "You guys aren't good swimmers, but I am. It's just catching a fish, what's so hard about that? Leyou, you just wait on the shore, I'll take care of the rest."

"Oh, really, Qingze? But won't it be too much for you to be all alone..." Before Leyou could finish speaking, Qingping stepped forward to interrupt.

“It’s alright, I’m here. I’ll go down with Qingze, and we’ll look after each other. But if we all go into the water…” Qingping turned to look at the expressionless Lei Xiu, “the safety on the shore will be in Lei Xiu’s hands.”

Qingping felt inexplicably embarrassed after saying those words. This was originally their mission, but now this situation had arisen. Fortunately, the captain wasn't there, or he would have been severely reprimanded.

"In that case, you don't need to worry. Lei Xiu is very powerful, and besides, there's Mao Qiu with you. Don't worry." Seeing Qingping and Qingze volunteer, Lezhi couldn't refuse anymore. He could only sigh at the power of delicious food to bewitch people.

"Chirp chirp~" Catching its name from Lezhi's mouth, Maoqiu immediately chirped lively.

“Hmm.” Lei Xiu, who had been silent, immediately nodded in agreement. In fact, even without Qing Ping’s prompting, Lei Xiu would always be mindful of their safety, which was why he hadn’t bothered to answer her earlier. However, things were different when the speaker was Le Zhi.

Seeing that Maoqiu and Leixiu responded to Lezhi's call almost immediately, Leyou and Leting were already used to it. Qingze and Qingping exchanged glances, a hint of interest flashing in their eyes.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Qingping, let's go and show our Lingyu Clan friends something." Before Qingze finished speaking, he had already appeared by the lake. He quickly stretched his limbs, then took off his outer garment, took a running start, and jumped into the lake.

Seeing this, Qingping quickly followed. The two of them tumbled a few times and soon disappeared into the lake.

Before the fish were caught, in order to ensure lunch supply, Lei Xiu went to butcher the prey that Qing Ze had just brought back and gave it to Le Zhi. With Le You and Le Ting's absent-minded help, Le Zhi prepared to make a pot of stone fruit stew with meat, which would be the main dish for today, with both meat and staple food.

The rest of the meat was prepared by marinating and storing it for later use, so that if anyone was still hungry, it could be grilled or fried at any time.

Lezhi was used to doing these tasks, and seeing that Leyou and Leting looked distracted, she simply told them to leave, "You two, if you want to watch, go ahead. I can manage on my own here."

"...Really!" Having her little secret discovered, Leyou exchanged a guilty glance with Leting, then hesitantly sought confirmation from Lezhi.

"Really, really." With that, Lezhi took the large spoon from Leyou's hand and gently pushed him away. "Go quickly, Qingze and the others might need someone to meet them on the shore. Go quickly."

"Okay, let's go then."

Once he was sure Lezhi wasn't being sarcastic, Leyou excitedly dragged Leting to the lakeside, peering out. Although they couldn't see anything, they still didn't want to miss any exciting sights.

Only Lezhi and Leixiu remained by the fire pit. Lezhi looked up at Leyou and the others in the distance, then at the calm lake. Although she had confidence in Qingze and Qingping, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Lei Xiu, how long has it been since Qing Ze and Qing Ping surfaced? Are they alright?" Le Zhi's mouth seemed to have a magical power; he had just been worried that the two hadn't surfaced to breathe when the lake surface was immediately breached.

It was Qingze and Qingping. The two surfaced to get some air, then dived back in. In the sunlight, Lezhi could vaguely see the wings that had spread out behind them.

"Hey, that's..."

"Don't worry about their wings, they'll be fine." Lei Xiu calmly replied. He already knew why the Windwalker Clan was so good at swimming, and explained to Le Zhi in detail: "The Windwalker Clan's wings are special. They are light yet flexible, and most importantly, they can be used in the water. With the help of their wings, the Windwalker Clan's movements in the water are not greatly hindered."

If ranked by natural aquatic talent, the Windwalkers are undoubtedly number one among the winged races, second only to the Aquafoes. The Aquafoes sacrificed their wings and gave up soaring through the sky in exchange for the ability to live in water for extended periods, a feat that the Windwalkers simply cannot match.

However, in daily use, the Windwalkers don't even need much training; they can possess good swimming skills purely through instinct, which is something that their fellow races, who are not good swimmers, truly envy.

Lezhi felt this way at that moment. He had no wings, was not good at swimming, and had been the same in both his lives. He could only look at the water with longing and sigh. "I see. That's good. Good, good. The wings of the Windwalker Clan."

Unable to hide her envy, Yuezhi exclaimed in admiration. Thinking of her people's colorful, downy wings, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What about our Spirit Feather Clan's wings? Besides being downy, do they serve any other purpose?" Surely they weren't just for looks; that would be too useless.

This was the first time Lezhi had shown interest in wings. Seeing the curiosity in Lezhi's eyes, Lei Xiu lowered his eyelids, paused for a few seconds, and then answered, "Of course there are. The wings of the Spirit Feather Clan are one of only two races besides the Frost Spirit Clan that are naturally unafraid of the cold and can enter the extreme cold without any preparation."

Frost Spirit Clan, the Frost Spirit Clan—hearing this new term again, Lezhi opened her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity. "What is the Frost Spirit Clan? I think this is the first time I've ever heard of it."

Raising his hand to pat Lezhi's head, Lei Xiu explained, "The Frostlands are the coldest places in Jormungand. Frost never melts there, and the Frost Spirits have lived and garrisoned in that area for many years. Because they are not used to the climate, the Frost Spirits rarely leave their tribe, which is why you haven't heard of them."
