Chapter 46

Although the Heavenly Spirit Pill is only a first-grade elixir, the energy it contains is quite substantial for this ordinary Husky. This energy can not only repair the Husky's physical defects but also completely transform his constitution!

When the energy of the Heavenly Spirit Pill erupted within Xia Shua's body, he let out a howl and his body began to convulse violently.

"Daddy, Xia Shua looks so painful," Qiqi, unable to bear the sight of Xia Shua's suffering, said as she buried her face in Lin Fan's chest.

Lin Fan comforted her, "This is a process he must go through. We have to believe in Xia Shua; he will surely make it through."

Hearing this, Qiqi wriggled out of Lin Fan's arms and looked at Xia Shua on the ground, waving her little fists to cheer him on:

"Xia Shua, hang in there! You're the best! You must get better!"

Lin Fan also watched the Husky, unsure if this ordinary species from Earth could withstand the energy of the Heavenly Spirit Pill. He had no absolute confidence.

The way of heaven is fair. If Xia Shua wants to recover and even transform, he must go through this painful process, which is inevitable and full of dangers.

As the song goes: "Without experiencing the storm, how can one see the rainbow? No one can succeed easily..."

Xia Shua was now enduring unimaginable pain, his body convulsing, his eyelids rolling back, and his teeth chattering. After a few seconds, all his teeth fell out, and then his fur began to fall off in clumps, revealing the pink skin underneath.

"Awooo---- Awooo----"

Xia Shua howled in pain. His bones began to make cracking sounds, like fireworks, and his body twitched with each sound.

Then, something even more astonishing happened!

Xia Shua's body began to grow continuously, like a balloon being inflated. First, the skin and flesh that were almost attached to his bones became plump, and then his skeleton began to grow.

Xia Shua was only six months old and not fully developed, but now, in just a short time, his body had grown to the size of an adult Husky and was still growing!

Qiqi watched with wide eyes, her young mind unable to comprehend what was happening.

After more than a minute, Xia Shua finally stopped growing. At this point, his body was larger than an adult Tibetan Mastiff!

Xia Shua was still lying on the ground, but if he stood up, his height on all fours would be nearly a meter. If he stood on his hind legs, he could easily put his front paws on Lin Fan's shoulders.

At this moment, Xia Shua no longer looked weak and pitiful. He was now a fierce beast! His limbs were strong and powerful, his black claws were very sharp, and his teeth were exceptionally sharp—no, perhaps calling them fangs would be more appropriate.

Xia Shua's fur also regrew, still the same color but more lustrous and abundant. The black fur was as dark as ink, and the white fur was even purer than before.

In addition to the black and white fur, a few tufts of golden fur grew on Xia Shua's chest, chin, and behind his ears, even his eyebrows turned golden.

These tufts of golden fur gave Xia Shua a noble appearance, as if he had transformed into a royal dog, a canine emperor.

Not only did his body undergo a tremendous transformation, but Xia Shua's intelligence also fully awakened. He was now the smartest dog in the world, no, more accurately, Xia Shua was no longer an ordinary dog; he could now be considered a demonic beast.

After the transformation, Xia Shua happily stood up and spun around to get a good look at his new body. However, since he had just transformed, he was not yet accustomed to his new body and fell over as soon as he stood up.

"Daddy, why did Xia Shua change like this? Qiqi is scared."

Qiqi, seeing the once weak Xia Shua now so terrifying, was pale with fear and buried her face in Lin Fan's chest, too scared to look at Xia Shua.

"Stupid dog, you've completed the transformation, so shrink back to your original size immediately!"

Lin Fan glared at Xia Shua and scolded him.

Xia Shua, who was still basking in the joy of his transformation, wanted to stand up and cheer. But hearing Lin Fan's voice, he immediately snapped to attention. Now that he had awakened his intelligence, he knew that all his changes were due to this man, so he dared not disobey his benefactor's command. He quickly lay back down, his chin touching the floor, and looked at Lin Fan with a pitiful expression.

Although Xia Shua now had intelligence, he still did not understand what Lin Fan meant by "shrink."

Seeing Xia Shua's reaction, Lin Fan knew he could not yet control his new powers. He took two steps forward and placed his right hand on Xia Shua's forehead.

Xia Shua obediently lay still, not moving.

Lin Fan was transmitting his thoughts to Xia Shua, teaching him the most basic way to control his powers.

After a few seconds, Lin Fan withdrew his right hand and said, "Do you understand now? Shrink back to your original size."

"Umm----"

Xia Shua whimpered. He felt very powerful in his new form and was somewhat reluctant to shrink. However, he followed Lin Fan's method and slowly reduced his size, quickly returning to his original size. But he was no longer the scrawny, bony dog he used to be. His body and limbs were now very plump and healthy. If described in human terms, his body was now the type that looks slim in clothes but muscular when naked, with a well-proportioned and athletic build.

"That was your true form, but it should only be used in battle. In daily life, you should remain in this form," Lin Fan said sternly. "Unless there is an enemy, you are not allowed to transform back to your true form, understand?"

Xia Shua quickly stood up, nodded, and then wagged his tail, happily running around Lin Fan and rubbing his head against Lin Fan's legs.

Lin Fan pointed to Xia Shua and said to Qiqi, "Qiqi, look, Xia Shua is back to his original size."

Qiqi looked down and saw Xia Shua's familiar figure playing around. She clapped her hands happily and said, "Xia Shua, Xia Shua, are you better now?"

"Awooo----"

Hearing Qiqi's voice, Xia Shua jumped even more enthusiastically. He clearly remembered that it was because of this little girl that he was able to leave the pet store and have such a great opportunity. So, he regarded Qiqi with the same respect as Lin Fan.

Seeing Xia Shua greet her, Qiqi was very happy and waved, saying, "Xia Shua, hello! I'm Qiqi. We will be partners from now on."

Seeing Qiqi so happy, Lin Fan was also pleased. He said to Xia Shua, "From now on, Qiqi is your little master. You must protect Qiqi's safety and not let her get hurt, understand?"

"Woof! Woof!"

Xia Shua, now very intelligent, nodded and barked twice.

Seeing Xia Shua's response, Lin Fan smiled in relief. The Heavenly Spirit Pill had not disappointed him. He was curious about Xia Shua's combat abilities and would test them when the opportunity arose.

Satisfied with Xia Shua's successful transformation, Lin Fan thoroughly cleaned Xia Shua's body, washing away all the dirt left from the transformation. With Xia Shua's new constitution, he would not develop lice or bacteria, so he could safely let him interact with Qiqi.

The rest of the time was spent with Qiqi and Xia Shua playing together. They had a great time, while Lin Fan cleaned up the fur, teeth, and other debris left from Xia Shua's transformation. Several times, when Qiqi was about to fall, Xia Shua burst into action, rushing under her to act as a cushion.

Xia Shua's performance pleased Lin Fan. He knew how to protect Qiqi, and his speed was almost as fast as Lin Fan's when he exerted himself fully. Regardless of his strength, his speed, combined with his sharp claws and fangs, made him a formidable weapon. Moreover, he was 100% loyal and would never betray. With Xia Shua by Qiqi's side, Lin Fan felt much more at ease.
