“Beep beep beep!”
The alarm clock in Chu Mu’s bedroom rang!
This was the alarm Chu Mu had specially set to wake him up at midnight.
Chu Mu stretched and got out of bed.
Chu Mu looked through the window at the cloudless sky and the little Suijuan still curled up asleep, then put on his clothes and left the bedroom.
This was his first time collecting Qi Xi Qing Niao feathers, so Chu Mu was being extra careful!
If he were to collect feathers in the future, Chu Mu wouldn’t need to stay up all night observing with his experience. He could just go up to the treetop and collect them the next day.
However, Chu Mu lacked experience now, and there were many things he needed to learn!
Chu Mu took a ladder from the warehouse and walked towards the central large tree.
As for the Qi Xi Qing Niao and Qing Mian Niao, they would be resting now, unless something unexpected happened.
To avoid disturbing them, Chu Mu climbed up the tree next to the one they were resting on.
These two trees had overlapping crowns, which made it easy for Chu Mu to observe them!
Of course, to avoid being too far away and unable to see clearly, Chu Mu was wearing binoculars on his chest.
Chu Mu carefully climbed to the same height, found a comfortable spot to sit down, then opened the cover of the binoculars and observed the Qi Xi Qing Niao through them.
At this moment, the four Qi Xi Qing Niao were huddled together like clouds, fast asleep. Beside them were four little cotton candy clouds, those were the Qing Mian Niao.
Seeing that the Qi Xi Qing Niao weren’t moving at all, Chu Mu put down his binoculars, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky.
After all, most creatures sleep at night, so with such a beautiful starry sky, Chu Mu rarely got the chance to see it.
The cloudless starry sky was extraordinarily beautiful, with each star twinkling.
At this moment, Chu Mu even saw a Geng Gui leading many Ghost and Gastly wandering through the sky.
This was the first time Chu Mu had seen a Ghost-type Pokemon, and he also learned that there were so many Ghost-type Pokemon near his ranch!
“Dark…ness!”
This was the Darkrai suddenly sticking its head out from the top of the tree canopy, looking at Chu Mu.
Seeing the Darkrai, Chu Mu realized that it did occasionally move at night.
Darkrai rarely spent time alone with Chu Mu, so during this rare opportunity, it hopped and skipped onto the tree trunk next to Chu Mu, seemingly wanting to be closer to him!
Chu Mu whispered to the Darkrai, “Darkrai, I’m going to observe the Qi Xi Qing Niao shedding their feathers today. So, we need to be quiet and not make any noise so as not to disturb them.”
“Gaa…” Darkrai nodded and responded softly.
Darkrai stood quietly beside Chu Mu, occasionally moving to just preen its feathers.
For a while, even though Chu Mu and Darkrai seemed very close, they were a bit bored.
They were so bored that Chu Mu went from observing the Qi Xi Qing Niao to observing Darkrai.
“Darkrai, Level 39, Dark/Flying.”
Chu Mu looked at Darkrai’s current level and said, “Seems like you’ve been growing well recently. I’ll buy you a good quality Dark Stone in a while to evolve you into a Honchkrow.”
As he spoke, Chu Mu stroked Darkrai’s feathers, and Darkrai also rubbed its beak against Chu Mu’s hand!
“Gaa…Dark!”
Darkrai cried out happily.
“Oh! Shhh!”
Seeing the excited Darkrai, Chu Mu quickly reminded it to be quiet.
Darkrai, reminded again by Chu Mu, nodded sheepishly.
Then Chu Mu quickly took out his binoculars and looked towards the Qi Xi Qing Niao.
He saw that the treetop where the Qi Xi Qing Niao were resting was emitting a dazzling white light.
The four pure white clouds and four white cotton candy clouds looked exceptionally bright.
“They’ve begun!”
Chu Mu’s lips curled up in a faint smile as he watched everything unfold.
This radiance lasted for about five minutes, then the glowing feathers slowly began to fall off the Qi Xi Qing Niao, gradually gathering into a cloud-like shape.
The Qing Mian Niao feathers were like cotton.
The feathers of the two species could be easily distinguished at this time.
Since Chu Mu had already seen the entire feather shedding process of the Qi Xi Qing Niao, he no longer observed them.
Chu Mu turned his gaze back to the starry sky, ready to spend the remaining two hours.
As the sunlight gradually seeped through the leaves and fell onto Chu Mu’s face, he finally managed to stay up all night.
Even though he had taken a nap beforehand, the hour before dawn was when people were most sleepy, so Chu Mu fell asleep directly.
However, Chu Mu soon felt the warmth of the sun, a subtle burning sensation that woke him from his slumber!
Chu Mu peeked out and looked at the sky, clearing his mind, then slowly climbed down the ladder from the treetop.
“Ha…”
Chu Mu’s feet landed on the grass, and he stretched, yawning!
It was obvious that staying up all night at his age was very damaging to his body.
Chu Mu went back to the villa first, took a hot shower, and changed clothes, instantly feeling refreshed.
Now, Chu Mu needed to collect the Qi Xi Qing Niao feathers.
Chu Mu carried the ladder to directly below the tree, set it up, and started climbing towards the treetop.
At the same time, Chu Mu was carrying a bamboo basket on his back. This was to hold the feathers.
When Chu Mu climbed to the top of the tree canopy, the Qi Xi Qing Niao had already left the nest with the Qing Mian Niao.
Therefore, those things that looked like cotton candy clouds were their shed feathers.
Chu Mu sorted the two types of feathers into the bamboo basket according to their classifications, then climbed down from the tree canopy.
Chu Mu weighed the basket; he estimated that the combined weight of both types might be less than ten kilograms.
Chu Mu put the basket in the living room and left it there, then returned to the bedroom to check on Little Suijuan.
Because Little Suijuan had been asleep for too long, Chu Mu began to worry.
Therefore, Chu Mu decided to use his golden finger to check on Little Suijuan’s condition.
“Little Suijuan (Undergoing Metamorphosis): Level 58, Rock/Fairy”
“Metamorphosis?” Noticing this word, Chu Mu instantly understood. Little Suijuan was transforming into Diancie.
Essentially, Diancie belonged to a special mutant within the Little Suijuan group; there was no evolutionary relationship between them.
Therefore, it was quite suitable for the golden finger to use “metamorphosis” to describe Little Suijuan’s current state.
