Lu Xingyuan's expression changed several times.

I rely on.

This change is too drastic!

He wasn't referring to Alice's body, but rather to her name.

How did he suddenly go from being a father to an older brother?

"Alice has grown up."

The girl in his arms exuded a faint fragrance.

The voice carried a mixture of sweetness and joy.

"So? Do you like Alice the way she is now?"

"I will love Alice no matter what she becomes."

Lu Xingyuan spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Whether she's a loli, a young girl, or even a mature woman, he can still accept her.

"whee."

Alice smiled happily.

But then she winked playfully.

Even if it becomes like this... do you still like it?

The moment the words left her lips, the girl's body suddenly froze.

Black scales began to spread from the lines on both sides of her cheekbones, like ink spreading into water, instantly covering her entire face, and then swallowing her slender neck, delicate collarbone, the full curves supported by her bodice, her waist tightly wrapped by her corset, and sweeping down to her long legs and toes.

Each scale is jet black, yet its edges are inlaid with a thin line of silver light, layered upon each other, like a magnificent suit of armor forged in the depths of the night.

The gothic gown shattered the moment it was covered in scales, and black fragments fluttered down like raven feathers.

She rapidly expanded and stretched amidst the fragments—her waist transformed into a scale-covered spine, her limbs into robust dragon feet, and a pair of enormous dragon wings tore out from her shoulder blades, their membranes like giant sails woven from the night, their edges flowing with silver light; her long tail grew rapidly, its tip forming a triangular cone, tempered with a cold, moonlit gleam.

The dragon's head was lowered, and its golden vertical pupils were dozens of times larger than before, yet it still calmly looked down at everyone, like two molten gold suns hanging in the center of the dark hall.

The entire carriage suddenly sank, the steel groaned, and the air was distorted by the intense heat.

Alice's figure almost filled most of the carriage, her body covered in silver lines and black scales that glowed eerily; she was elegant, noble, and incredibly dangerous.

Teemo and Rumble exchanged a glance, and both of them uncontrollably let out a shrill scream!

"ah--!"

Lu Xingyuan's expression froze for a moment.

0.0

Is this...right?

However... after sensing the tenderness in those golden pupils, he immediately calmed down and began to carefully examine the dragon-shaped creature in front of him, the light in his eyes becoming even brighter and more dazzling!

"handsome!"

"He's really handsome!"

Who wouldn't be confused by the black dragon's appearance? Far from finding it frightening, he actually liked it more!

Alice also sensed Lu Xingyuan's feelings, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

She was genuinely afraid that her appearance would disgust Lu Xingyuan.

"Come up."

A deep voice sounded.

Lu Xingyuan's emotions immediately became agitated.

Riding... a dragon?

Which boy hasn't had a dream like this when he was little?

Unexpectedly, one day his dream actually came true.

Without hesitation, Lu Xingyuan flipped over and leaped onto Alice's back.

Teemo and Rumble, standing to the side, were itching to join in, but were too shy to speak up.

Fortunately, Alice was understanding enough to gesture for them to come up as well.

"Alas!"

The two little ones excitedly jumped onto the dragon's back.

Whoosh!

As her dragon wings unfurled, Alice burst out of the carriage, transforming into a black lightning bolt with incredible speed and agility.

The wind was howling, and the thick fog was constantly retreating.

Lu Xingyuan wanted to fly higher.

Alice understood, and with a flap of its wings, the dragon soared into the sky.

Gradually, the train below turned into a long, thin black line in the field of vision, with the boundless track stretching endlessly forward.

All around were endless wilderness.

There were no other trains or buildings in sight.

They are like solitary travelers in the world.

"This is what flying feels like, it's amazing!"

After the flight stabilized, Teemo opened his arms and fully enjoyed the experience.

Rambo, on the other hand, looked excited.

"This flight experience has given me a lot of inspiration! I'll consider adding flight functionality to Tristan in future versions!"

After the flight experience ended, everyone returned to the train, and Alice returned to human form.

However, she was no longer in the form of a young girl, but had become a loli with a bit of baby fat.

"dad!"

Alice clung tightly to Lu Xingyuan's leg.

It turns out that neither the girl form nor the dragon form can be maintained for long.

In most cases, she still has to appear in the form of a loli.

Lu Xingyuan gently stroked Alice's head.

"It seems that the Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit has brought you a significant boost."

"What if I upgrade these purple jade berries..."

He thought it was worth a try.

Upgrade to Star Level!

The three purple jade berries merged, but what appeared was not the Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit, but a level 7 fruit called "Purple Shadow Spirit Fruit".

【Purple Shadow Spirit Fruit】

[Category: Extraordinary Creations]

[Level: 7]

[Description: A rare spiritual fruit nurtured in the darkest depths of the abyss, even more precious than the Purple Jade Berry. The fruit is small, a deep, dark purple, its skin shimmering like smoke, sometimes tinged with silvery-purple light, like a serpent slithering through the night. Its juice is viscous like honey; a bite releases a refreshing sweetness that instantly permeates the body. For creatures of the abyss, this not only soothes the erosion of miasma and suppresses the frenzy of the soul, but also tempers the bloodline and awakens ancient potential dormant within.]

Lu Xingyuan was not surprised by this.

After all, the level of the Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit is an exaggerated three question marks.

A mere few level 6 Purple Jade Berries are not enough to easily replicate the Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit.

However, one thing is certain: this path is indeed feasible.

As long as there are enough Purple Jade Berries, he can produce not only a second Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit, but also a third or fourth one.

Gu Wanqing also replied:

"The Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit seems to be an accident."

"There's no way a second one can grow."

This result was also within Lu Xingyuan's expectations.

But Gu Wanqing's next words made his eyelids twitch violently.

"However... with enough train coins and enough fertilizer, it's not impossible to restore it to its former peak."

The ecological circular planting cabin, a golden transformation, is no joke.

That's how amazing it is, that's how awesome it is!

Once it grows into the legendary Abyss Shadow Sacred Tree, the Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit will naturally be no problem.

"In that case, there are two ways to obtain the Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruit."

Lu Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Although his star-level advancement is stable and reliable, who knows how many purple jade berries it will require?

Having more paths and more choices is always a good thing.

After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

"Does the Purple Shadow Spirit Fruit need to be upgraded further?"

The purple jade berries in his hand were clearly not enough to be upgraded to Abyss Shadow Sacred Fruits in one go, so Lu Xingyuan stopped for the time being.

"Let's not use it for now."

Alice shook her head.

Her priority now is to be full, not to eat well.

"Let's wait until Sister Gu Wanqing's Purple Shadow Spirit Tree can produce fruit steadily before considering whether to continue."

"become."
