Is this also the ability given to me by the "Return to Soul" contract? Maybe, now in the supplementary terms, there are new terms that can be read.
——This was Xia Ye’s first reaction.
But now is not the time to confirm these things. The matter with Xiu Ji is not over yet, and it has been going on for so long. The next step is the most important part.
"Can you feel it?" Xia Ye asked.
"What?"
"You should be able to feel the contract taking effect." She said with a tone that she had everything under control: "Just now, based on our agreement, I signed a witch contract. Now it has taken effect. Any party that violates the agreed terms will be punished by the contract.”
"Okay, I understand, I will not break the agreement." Xiuji replied without raising any questions.
In its view, a being as powerful as Xia Ye would naturally have a way to ensure that both parties abide by the agreement. If it were just a verbal agreement, it would be questionable behavior.
As for why Xia Ye is a "powerful existence", of course it's because he can't defeat it - of course he is very powerful. If he can't defeat the opponent, there is only one reason:
The opponent is really too strong~~~
"Very good." Xia Ye nodded her neck with satisfaction, "Then, climb on top of me."
"What?" Every line on the tentacles seemed to have turned into a question mark.
"Come on my neck." Xia Ye's tone revealed excitement that could not be concealed, "I'm going to start pinching my face!"
"……okay."
Although Xiuji couldn't understand what the other party was excited about, since this was the work content agreed upon by both parties, it would naturally not object.
The body of the tentacle suddenly began to expand, and in just a few seconds, it turned into a round, semi-fluid gel-like substance.
——A bit like black slime, Xia Ye commented silently in her heart.
At the same time, the "Black Slime" has split into two, one large and one small. The larger one has returned to its tentacle appearance, looking no different from just now, while the smaller one has transformed into two. Holding Xia Ye's calves, she slowly climbed up.
It's icy, slippery, and a little itchy...
"Can you hurry up? It makes me so itchy." Xia Ye couldn't help but ask.
"It's crawling, it's crawling... If you're in a hurry, why don't you put me on your neck yourself?" Xiuji complained while reluctantly speeding up the rhythm of his movements.
Seeing that it had finally climbed to the chest, the little black slime lost its footing and slid down... Fortunately, Xia Ye had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed it in his hand.
"With such a dull look, can you really be my leader?" she asked worriedly.
The reason why she asked the other party to climb up her neck was to see how flexible the clone was. After all, the head was not just a decoration, it also needed to have a series of functions such as speaking, eating, and making expressions.
"That's because I'm very hungry right now, and I really can't spare much energy to control this clone." Xiu Ji said angrily, "Besides, who knew you didn't have any slope to work on, and I accidentally... ...Ji!! It hurts, it hurts! Why are you pinching me all of a sudden?!"
"It's nothing, I just feel it's good to pinch, and I suddenly want to pinch it." Xia Ye said without emotion, and then placed the small slime in his hand directly on the broken part of his neck.
"In other words, if I control it through magic power, I will be much more flexible?" she asked.
"Hmph, hum...you'll know after you try it." After Xiuji finished speaking, he completely let go of control over the clone.
Xia Ye concentrated her thoughts and quickly sensed the magic power remaining in the clone. Then she used magic power as a medium to try to manipulate this strange substance that could be deformed at will.
After about a minute, she couldn't help but sigh: "This is really... not bad!"
This method was unexpectedly perfect. Through the connection of magic, this little slime seemed to be a natural part of her body. As long as she was familiar with it, she could do it like an arm.
This also means that she can finally start pinching her face.
Face pinching.
——Xia Ye still remembers that before time travel, this was one of her favorite things to do when playing games.
She can spend an hour, two hours... or even longer on this link, just to make a face that satisfies her for her game character.
For some games that are not very fun, the time spent in the game is not even as long as the time spent making fun of them.
Xia Ye once thought about why she was so keen on doing this, and finally came to the conclusion:
Pinch your face, you can feel a kind of pleasure similar to that of the Creator.
Because not only are humans unable to determine the appearance of others, it is even difficult to change their own natural appearance. But the pursuit of beauty is the nature of a living thing, so this desire can only be partially satisfied through virtual methods.
But now, it's completely different from the virtual face pinching on the computer.
She can actually pinch her face to make herself look exactly like her ideal face. And her goal is of course - super invincible beauty.
Half an hour has passed...
One hour……
An hour and a half...
Xiuji was very bored and walked around at Xia Ye's feet. Ever since his clone was installed on the other person's neck, the man stood straight and motionless.
No... Strictly speaking, her body was motionless, but her head was constantly changing. At the beginning, there were a lot of changes. The faces kept switching rapidly, and the hair grew longer and shorter. But gradually, the frequency of changes becomes slower and slower, until finally, the general shape no longer changes, and only the details are still being adjusted.
"Gu...it's so slow. It's just a simulated face. I really don't know why it takes so long. If it were me, I could finish it in one second."
Just when Xiu Ji was waiting impatiently, Xia Ye's voice finally came from above his head.
"alright!"
Finally finished? ! Xiu Ji raised his head in surprise, and saw the other person half-bent down, with his head leaning towards it.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Xia Ye poked her cheek with her white fingers and asked with a smile.
"!"
Even though the other party didn't do anything, Xiu Ji felt a burning sensation inside his body for no apparent reason.
That was the burning caused by all the nerve vesicles being activated at once.
As a creature that can mimic any appearance, its nerve bubbles record the appearances of countless races, only a very small part of which comes from its own memory, while the vast majority come from the entire Shoggoth race in the past few years. Precipitation over billions of years.
Not only that, they will also classify and filter the appearance of different individuals in the race based on each race's own aesthetics. Generally speaking, they will choose the most beautiful individuals of the race to imitate, because beauty can give an individual a greater advantage - a similar situation exists in the societies of most races.
However, they never subjectively evaluate the appearance of those individuals, because for them, which can mimic any appearance, this kind of thing is completely meaningless. To the Shoggoths, no matter how beautiful their appearance is, they are just groups of data recorded in nerve bubbles.
But now——
All the nerve bubbles in the body were activated spontaneously, and they couldn't wait to record the appearance in front of them.
If, for Shoggoth, this is the reaction to seeing beauty.
Then Xia Ye's "super invincible beauty" beauty has broken through the racial barrier, hitting Xiuji like an electric current, causing his body to burn like a short circuit.
