Tiny One

"Wow, Chuanchuan, you've become so tiny."

"Really, Ye Chuan has shrunk..."

"Big brother has turned into a little brother..."

"So amazing..."

In the afternoon, everyone naturally noticed Ye Chuan, who had now shrunk considerably. His appearance, like that of a little boy, also left Luo Xi and the others stunned.

"It's only temporary. I'll be back to normal after a while," Ye Chuan said. He hadn't expected Lilith to have accumulated so much; that terrifying amount of magical energy had even overstuffed his Primordial Indestructible Body.

And for some reason, ever since he shrank, Ye Chuan kept feeling like the way everyone looked at him was a bit strange.

"Ye Chuan, call me big sister~" Lan Xiaoke hugged Ye Chuan tightly at that moment, giggling foolishly. She held him so close that Ye Chuan felt his entire back sink into a sofa-like softness.

"Tch..." Ye Chuan said, "Why should I?"

"Aww, Ye Chuan answering back like that is so cute too." Lan Xiaoke rubbed her cheek against Ye Chuan. "So cute~"

"Don't actually treat me like a kid, you idiot!" Ye Chuan reached out and pushed Lan Xiaoke's face away.

"Seeing Chuanchuan like this, it's exactly the same as when he was little." Luo Xi rested her hands on her knees, her beautiful eyes curiously observing Ye Chuan's current appearance.

"Chuanchuan, did every part of you turn into a child's?"

"Huh?"

Luo Xi placed a finger before her lips, wearing a teasing smile. "So cute indeed."

"Let me hold him too." Bai Qianshuang, who had been standing nearby, suddenly reached out towards Lan Xiaoke with an expressionless face. "Give him to me, junior sister."

"I haven't held him enough yet," Lan Xiaoke said, clinging to Ye Chuan.

"I want to," Bai Qianshuang said.

"Here, little Ye Chuan, time for milkies~" The white-haired girl grinned with a lewd expression, making Ye Chuan's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

"Do you have some obsession with drinking milk?"

"Say 'mommy'~." Lan Xiaoke pressed Ye Chuan's head against her chest.

"Wait a second!"

"Let me hold him too~"

"I also want to hold big brother." Ye Yue grabbed onto Ye Chuan as well.

Ye Chuan was pulled and tugged, pressed into Luo Xi's embrace one moment, then into Ye Yue and Bai Qianshuang's the next. After taking turns receiving a 'face wash', he finally raised his voice.

"Alright! Stop it!!"

Ye Chuan stood on the sofa, hands on hips, pointing at the girls in front of him. "I'm not a child! Can't you all calm down a bit?"

Seeing them all brimming with maternal instincts, Ye Chuan's angry appearance only seemed exceptionally cute in their eyes.

"I don't care anymore!" Lan Xiaoke directly hugged Ye Chuan. "Sleep with me tonight, Ye Chuan."

"No, Chuanchuan should be with me."

"With me is right. I have experience taking care of children."

Filled with magical energy, Ye Chuan couldn't even use teleportation. He simply gave up and let himself be bumped and pulled around by their... assets.

Why does this feel both good and annoying at the same time?

...

Evening, dinner time.

Ye Chuan sat on a chair ready to eat, but when he looked up, he noticed Luo Xi and the others were all smiling at him. Even Bai Qianshuang, with her usual cool demeanor, was silently watching him.

"What is it?" Ye Chuan held his chopsticks, but having so many eyes on him ruined his appetite.

"Chuanchuan, why don't you call us big sisters?" Luo Xi said with a smile. "I'd really like to hear it once."

"Agreed," Bai Qianshuang nodded.

"Mommy is fine too," Lan Xiaoke's eyes sparkled even brighter.

"I'd also like to hear big brother call me sister once," Ye Yue said.

Ye Chuan: "..."

Is this never going to end?

Am I really that cute?

Ye Chuan looked at his own small hands and feet. Although he looked like a little boy, perhaps due to his cultivation, his skin was fair and clean.

"Big sisters, eat your meals properly, okay?" Ye Chuan spoke up.

Being called 'big sisters' didn't seem to fully satisfy Luo Xi and the others, but seeing the resentment in Ye Chuan's eyes, they finally obediently started eating.

This couldn't go on. After dinner, Ye Chuan went straight to Ke Ning's room door.

He reached out and knocked. Soon, there was movement inside.

Ke Ning hadn't come out at all during the earlier commotion. When she opened the door and saw the little boy, she pushed up her glasses.

"You are... Ye Chuan's younger brother?"

"I am Ye Chuan."

Hearing the little boy call himself Ye Chuan, Ke Ning's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she bent down slightly, thinking very seriously.

The Rubik's Cube V2 floating beside Ke Ning shot out a scanning ray, sweeping over Ye Chuan before confirming his identity.

"It really is you. Ke Ning, do you have a way to restore me to my original form?" Ye Chuan pointed at himself.

"..." Ke Ning looked at the Ye Chuan before her, then turned around. "Come in with me."

Entering Ke Ning's room, the arrangement was as messy as ever, but there were many devices Ye Chuan hadn't seen before.

Ye Chuan sat on the edge of the bed, propping his hands up as he watched Ke Ning walk back and forth.

"Take off your clothes," Ke Ning said.

Ye Chuan was taken aback.

"To measure body data. It's necessary," Ke Ning explained.

Ye Chuan: "..."

"If it's just height and weight, you don't need to take off clothes, right?" Ye Chuan asked.

"Indeed, it's not necessary."

"Then the point of doing that is..."

"Just wanted to measure."

Ke Ning stood in front of Ye Chuan. She thought for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and patted Ye Chuan's head.

"Patting my head?"

"Mm."

"And the point of doing that is..."

"No particular point. Just felt it was quite cute," Ke Ning said.

Ye Chuan: "..."

Seeing that Ke Ning also seemed completely unreliable, Ye Chuan stood up. "I'm going back."

"Wait."

Ye Chuan turned around to find Ke Ning holding out a small acrylic box. Inside lay a single pill.

"This can make you grow up."

"Huh?" Ye Chuan was stunned. "You really have something, Ke Ning."

"Science. Amazing, right?" Ke Ning merely pushed up her glasses.

"Eat it directly?"

"Mm."

Ye Chuan glanced at the pill's information—

[Item: Ke Ning's Miraculous Pill

Seems to have a certain effect. Non-toxic.]

Ye Chuan swallowed it directly. Soon, he felt a warm current begin to fill his entire body. The sound of fabric tearing came from his clothes, and a stinging pain arose from his bones.

Quickly, Ye Chuan's field of vision grew higher. He said joyfully, "It really works!"

But soon, the height far exceeded Ye Chuan's expectations. He realized he seemed to have grown extremely tall, and his perspective was very different.

Ke Ning's height now only reached somewhere below his chest.

Ye Chuan looked down and finally realized he had grown proportionally to a height of three meters!

Huh? ↗

Proportional scaling, is it?

The current Ye Chuan still had the appearance of a little boy, but his entire size had become three meters tall!

"So it really doesn't work?" Seeing this scene, Ke Ning didn't seem surprised.

"..." Ye Chuan said with a deadpan expression, "Were you using me to test the medicine?"

"No. After all, I couldn't confirm the effect either."

"Isn't that just being a human guinea pig?!"
