Xiu tilted his head and blinked in confusion:
"Of course I will..."
"Speak human words, meow~~~"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiu himself realized something was wrong.
"Hey, why..."
"I can speak..."
"Bring a 'meow'?"
"It's not just a matter of ending the sentence with 'meow'..." Xia Ye said with a smile, "Cat ears grew on your head, a cat tail grew on your back, and the color of your eyes became the same as Xiu Ji's. It’s emerald green.”
Xiu turned around in disbelief and looked behind him. At the end of his soft waist, a fluffy black cat tail was swinging playfully.
"ah……"
Xiu was greatly shocked.
At this moment, the first mate had already directed the crew, brought a floor-length mirror from the cabin, and placed it in front of Xiu.
"Wow, the first mate is still considerate!"
"Although it's a pity that I didn't turn into a tentacle monster, cats are not bad either." The first mate said with a smile.
Ever since everyone discovered that Slim had cat ears and a tail, there was a happy atmosphere in the cab - probably because everyone was relieved to find that the chief engineer was safe and sound. It's not like I like cat girls or anything...
Just as Xiu was looking at her new body in the mirror, Tang Li came to her with a pile of new clothes.
"Here, I've prepared a new set of clothes. You can no longer wear the previous set."
"Ah, thank you, meow~"
Tang Li handed the clothes to Xiu Hou, but still stood there, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"That, that..."
"Meow?"
"C-can I touch your ears? I don't have any weird ideas, I'm just a little curious..."
Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded:
"Okay, but..."
"Ears, sensitive..."
"Be gentle, meow~~"
Tang Li stretched out his hand to the top of Xiu's head and touched it carefully: "It's so soft, so warm, it's really a real ear!"
By the time Tang Li reluctantly took back his palm, the first mate was already standing in front of Xiu.
"Well... chief engineer, since the second officer can touch it, as the first officer, I should be able to touch it too, right?"
Xiu nodded helplessly.
After the first mate finally finished touching it, Yaha actually came over.
"Since they all touched you, as the captain, I also... Well, I just want to understand your situation, and I have no other intention..."
Even though Yaha spoke seriously, he spent longer than the first mate and the second mate in rubbing his ears. After doing so, he sighed:
"Cat ears taste really good..."
build:"……"
Just when Xiu was made to doubt his life, Xia Ye stood in front of her again. When he saw her, Xiu was so nervous that his tail straightened:
"You touched it..."
"No more touching..."
"Who said I still want to touch you." Xia Ye said preparedly, "I'm here to help you get dressed. You just came out of the egg, your body must not have much strength, right? I will personally help you get dressed. Don’t worry about your clothes, I will never - touch you..."
…
After being masturbated countless times, Xiu finally got dressed.
In order to make it easier for her tail to stick out, Xia Ye specially made a hole in her pleated skirt. Since they still had their own responsibilities, everyone else had dispersed. Tang Li returned to the observation deck, Yaha continued to command, and the first mate went to the stern of the ship to check the damage to the beluga carcass caused by the whale's breath.
Only Xia Ye and Xiu Ji were left beside Xiu. Their current task was to work with Xiu to find out what other changes had happened to Xiu.
Although Shuji rarely mentions information about his species, even from what is known, it is clear that Shoggoths are very powerful creatures. As for Xiu who ate one of the pupil of a Shoggoth, his physical changes were obviously not just as simple as growing cat ears and tail.
...It would be better to say that it is strange that it has grown out. After all, Xiuji is just mimicking a cat, and he is not a real cat.
However, Xia Ye put this matter to the last thought. Her first question was:
"Xiu, have you noticed that your speaking frequency has become faster?"
In the past, Xiu could only speak four words at most every 10 seconds, but now, Xiu seems to be able to speak four words every 5 seconds. As long as he is patient during the conversation, there is almost no communication barrier.
Xiu nodded: "I found out..."
"I just...checked the contract...and found that the content...has changed, meow~~"
After about dozens of 5 seconds, Xiu finally expressed the full story clearly:
Just as Xia Ye guessed, Xiu has excellent adaptability to the "Paimon" pillar system contract, and "Structural Strengthening", as one of the contracts of the "Paimon" pillar system, Xiu has indeed gained more benefits than others after signing it. Better results for people.
But at the same time, there is a strange clause in the contract: when the contract owner uses any method to express, he can only output [4] units of text every [10] seconds.
According to Xiu, when she saw this clause, she thought that she didn't like talking anyway, so she signed it without hesitation...
But now, the [10] seconds in this clause has become [5] seconds.
"So... maybe becoming a cat witch can suppress the negative effects of the signed contract?" Xia Ye guessed.
By the way, Xiu's state has been named "Cat Witch" by Xia Ye. This name defeated the "tentacle witch" proposed by the first mate and won everyone's unanimous approval.
While making the above guess, Xia Ye thought of the harsh unfavorable terms in his "soul recovery" contract.
If I also take a bite of Xiuji, I wonder if the period for repaying my head can be extended to two years?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xiuji immediately became alert when he noticed Xia Ye's malicious gaze.
"Nothing, nothing...I just wanted to ask, uh, do you think my guess is reasonable?"
"It's possible that it meows, but there are so few cases that this cat can't be sure about meowing~"
According to Xiu, this is the only contract with negative terms for her... In other words, she is not rich, so she can only get the "Structural Strengthening" contract, and the rest are extremely ordinary. Level 1 life contract.
"Actually, this cat cares more about another thing than the contract..." Xiuji said to Xiu: "Have you tried 'dismantling mimicry'?"
"Release, mimicry?"
"You really don't know, let me tell you..."
Xiuji began to teach Xiu how to mimic and eliminate mimicry, which contained a lot of strange syllables that were neither common language nor witch language, but Xiuji seemed to understand. She nodded while listening, and the cat ears on her head also Follow with a gentle shake.
"So, now follow the method this cat said and try to see if you can remove the mimicry of your ears?"
Xiu started to try, but after a few minutes, there was still no change in her cat ears.
"The ears...are not responding."
"Meow? Then try the tail?" Xiuji was not as confident as he was at first.
But this time, it only took less than a minute for Xiu's tail to change.
It became bald.
The soft and fine hair disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the tail turned into a liquid-like irregular shape in mid-air.
Before Xia Ye could react, she heard Xiuji cheer: "Successful, meow!"
"Meow hahahaha!! As expected by this cat, your tail can be mimicked. Now, follow the method taught by this cat and make it mimic the things you want to mimic! For example, tentacles, cats, or even weapons ……whatever."
Xiuji kept gesticulating with his furry little paws, looking like he wanted to go into battle in person.
"Let me try……"
Xiu thought for a while and then started to try. This trial lasted nearly ten minutes.
Finally, she used her tail to imitate a cylindrical shape with a shiny metallic surface.
"Meow? What is this?" Xiuji asked curiously.
"The model of the ether stamping... thruster..." Xiu replied, "Look... as long as I... inject magic power... the turbofan can... rotate..."
Following Xiu's answer, the mini thruster turned into a tail started to work really "buzzingly".
