"How about it?"
Seeing that Xiu Ji stayed where he was without any response, Xia Ye asked again.
"..."
"Hey, are you still alive?" She poked the tentacle's body with her finger.
"Ji - of course I am alive. I was just... adjusting the control of the clone. Yes, after all, I will give it to you to control from now on, so I don't have time to care about you." Xiu Ji hurriedly found an excuse to cover up.
It is embarrassed to say that its nerve bubble is almost short-circuited.
"Oh, it's good to be alive." Xia Ye was not interested in the explanation. He pointed at her fair face and asked, "Am I good-looking?"
"Okay, look," Xiu Ji replied in a pronunciation tone.
"It's so perfunctory..." The girl frowned with dissatisfaction, and her slightly angry expression once again triggered the crazy recording of the nerve bubble in Xiuji's body.
"What else?" Xiu Ji said, pretending to be uninterested, "Perhaps in terms of the aesthetics of your race, it is indeed very beautiful, but our aesthetics are different from yours. Besides, for those who can mimic anything, To us, appearance means nothing."
"Well... you're right." Xia Ye finally stopped chasing Xiuji and asked if she looked good, "I'd better ask Lilian later. Oh, by the way, you have to change your appearance too."
As I said before, a beautiful and pure witch like her can't go out with a tentacle every day - it's really strange.
"No problem, whatever you want me to be." Xiu Ji didn't care about this.
"Since I am a witch...then you can become a cat! Black Cat."
"What is a cat? I've never heard of it. Can you show me what it looks like?" Xiu Ji asked.
"Haha, the great cat is a cute and smart creature. In the stories spread among our race, it is always together with the beautiful and powerful witch. Since I am a witch, it is just right for you to become a cat. As for what it looks like..." Xia Ye thought for a moment, "Why don't you let go of control of this body for the time being, and I'll make you look like a cat, and you'll know about it later."
"Okay... but you'd better squeeze it faster." Xiuji added specifically because he was afraid that Xia Ye would squeeze his body for another hour or two.
"Don't worry, it's just a cat, I'll be quick."
five minutes later……
"Done!"
Xia Ye is indeed very fast.
Although it took a full two hours to pinch his own face, it only took five minutes to pinch Xiuji's body.
"Is this the end?" Xiuji still had some unfinished thoughts.
"It's just a cat. How long do I need to hold it? Besides, didn't you ask me to hurry up?" Xia Ye said.
"Turn your head towards me, I want to see myself." Xiu Ji said.
"……oh."
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what it meant. Although the head is currently under his control, it is Xiuji's clone after all, and Xiuji can obviously see what he sees.
She picked up Xiuji, who looked like a black cat, and looked left and right.
This is a black cat that looks like a British shorthair cat. It has pure fur and an elegant body. Its ears are small triangles and its eyes are emerald green.
"How's it going? Isn't it cute?" Xia Ye asked confidently.
"...Not bad." Although Xiuji had never seen a cat, as a creature with rich experience in mimicry, his intuition told him that this was an elegant and beautiful cat.
"As long as you like it. Then from now on, you will be my pet!" Xia Ye said.
"Huh? I don't want it!" Xiuji still knew what "pet" meant. When it reacted, he immediately objected firmly: "I only have a transaction relationship with you, I am not your pet!"
"But cats are pets!" Xia Ye said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Since you want to act like my cat, of course you have to act like it, otherwise it will make people suspicious."
"I don't want it!" Xiuji vowed to die.
"That's right, because you are my pet, you have to call me 'Master' from now on. And from now on, you have to add 'Meow~' at the end of every word, such as 'Master Meow~', 'I want to eat. Meow~' In this case, you are a cat after all!"
"No matter what you say, I won't agree!"
In order to show his determination, Xiu Ji stretched out his furry paws and patted Xia Ye's chest symbolically.
Xia Ye: "..."
Xiuji: "..."
The two were in a stalemate for a while.
"Ah……"
In the end, Xia Ye was the first to break the silence. In the blink of an eye, the girl's stunningly beautiful face had an indifferent expression as if she was looking at garbage.
"Three moles in two days," she said.
"What?" Xiuji didn't react for a moment.
"Be my lady's pet, call me 'Master', and say 'meow~' at the end of every sentence. As long as you do these three things, I will increase the amount of 1 mol per day to 3 mol per day. Accept this It's a gift from the young lady - don't be ignorant." Xia Ye said coldly.
"..."
Xiu Ji struggled in his heart for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of magic.
"Okay, okay..." it reluctantly agreed, "but I can't add 'meow~' after every sentence. It's too... too... I don't know how to describe it in your language. In short, that's it. It can’t be done.”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just bring a 'meow' occasionally." Xia Ye's face suddenly had a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
"So, it's a deal?" she asked.
"...It's a deal."
Just as Xiuji said "It's a deal," Xia Ye once again felt a slight tingling sensation on her left wrist. She clicked on the witch contract and saw that the content she had just agreed with Xiuji had been updated. In the contract.
The terms of the contract actually read seriously, "The contractor must address the person making the contract as 'master,' and the contractor must [occasionally] add the onomatopoeia 'meow~' at the end of the sentence" and so on...
Phew~
"Ahem..." Xia Ye tried her best to hold back the laughter in her heart and said seriously: "Okay, the contract has come into effect. Let's test it first. Xiuji, call me."
"Master..." the black cat in his arms said reluctantly.
"Um?"
"Master, meow~" Xiuji gritted his teeth as he said the last word 'meow'.
But Xia Ye didn't seem to care at all: "Well, not bad! Although the tone is not cute enough, you have just become a cat after all. You can just practice more in the future."
Xiuji: "..."
"Go, don't you want to move around freely?" Xia Ye gently threw the black cat in her arms to the ground, and walked to the center of the room, in front of the black body bag.
Speaking of which, this was the original purpose of her coming here.
Wow——
She picked up the body bag and looked inside and out, looking for anything that might be a clue.
Although I have a head now, it is not the original head.
She must find her original head, otherwise she will become a corpse again due to breach of contract.
In this search, good luck finally came to Xia Ye.
In a corner on the inside of the body bag, she found a symbol. The symbol was printed on the bag in the form of a dark pattern. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect it at all.
The symbol looked like an "M" with a ring on the outside. Xia Ye searched the memory in the cup, but found no information related to it.
No matter what, there was finally a breakthrough. She thought as optimistically as possible.
"Let's go, Xiuji." Xia Ye threw away the body bag in his hand and waved to the black cat, "It's time for us to go home."
