CHAPTER 21 HUMAN OR GHOST?!
“Still say it’s not a ghost?!”
When this scene unfolded before her eyes, it was even more shocking than seeing a ghost!
With a thud, Ye Zhibai fell backward, landing on the ground. She extended her slender, beautifully shaped legs and used her feet to push herself away from the light orb.
But she barely moved a meter before her back hit the bookshelf behind her, leaving her no room to retreat.
In her previous life, when Ye Zhibai encountered the light orb after being hit by a car and killed, she had been fearless and bold because she was already dead.
But now she was alive!
Living people, when faced with the unknown, always have one emotion.
—Confusion.
Feeling powerless, she could only stare wide-eyed at the figure within the twisting, forming light orb.
It spoke.
“Really… It’s fine if you just stay there, but don’t scream, okay? I’m running on fumes here… If you scream, I can’t shut you up.”
“……”
Then stop scaring me!
Wait… the light orb spoke again!!
It’s…! Uh…
Ye Zhibai’s chaotic thoughts came to a halt.
Because… the scene before her could only be described as “dreamlike.”
It defied further rational thought.
Light particles scattered around the light orb like fireworks, disappearing without a trace as they touched the ground.
The main part of the light orb rotated like a vortex, growing smaller.
And from within the light orb, a leg stepped out…
—It was a small, glowing leg.
Then came the second leg.
The two legs led a small body forward.
With long, silky, brown hair that scattered star-like particles.
Finally, delicate arms and fingers, as if stepping out of a shower, touched down lightly.
The entire figure had emerged.
As Ye Zhibai, in shock, tried to verify what she was seeing with her wide eyes,
Her usually expressionless face grew even more rigid.
The way this figure appeared was indeed grand and dreamlike…
But the person who walked out…
Was not intimidating at all!
In fact, she was very cute!
Yes… from the light orb emerged a little loli!!
With bright eyes and white teeth, long brown hair, a cute face, and a petite frame.
Her starry blue eyes were full of spirit, and when she slightly opened her mouth to breathe, a cute little fang was visible.
She looked to be about 150 centimeters tall…
But none of that was the most important thing.
The most important thing was… this loli wasn’t wearing any clothes!
Uh… it can’t be said that she’s completely unclothed. Apart from her head, her entire body was surrounded by faint light particles, like a thin veil, covering her.
But this kind of faint, almost translucent appearance made it even more suggestive!
Ye Zhibai hurriedly covered her eyes in a symbolic gesture.
—The gaps between her fingers were very large.
It wouldn’t work any other way!
Ye Zhibai even freed one delicate hand to point at the shameless and audacious little loli!
Her voice was calm, not sounding panicked at all.
“Who… who are you…?”
“Oh? Have you already forgotten about me after such a short separation?” The little loli smiled sweetly, her hands behind her back as she stepped forward, swaying her head, “Why are you covering your eyes? Are they uncomfortable?”
“You… you’re not wearing any clothes,” Ye Zhibai stated bluntly.
“Clothes?” The little loli stopped, looked down at her body, and then laughed, “Oh, clothes, those pieces of cloth you humans use to cover yourselves? This is my first time taking a human form, so I’m not very practiced. Forgive me! Oh, don’t cover your eyes! I’m using divine power to cover myself, see? Divine power… uh, seems like it’s all gone.”
Clink…!
As soon as the loli finished speaking, Ye Zhibai heard a sound like glass shattering.
It was the sound of the light particles surrounding the little loli breaking and scattering!
And then, Ye Zhibai was once again forced to witness a beautiful sight.
An innocent, pure white body, suddenly displayed before Ye Zhibai in its entirety.
So flat…
Cough! No, no! Do not gaze upon what should not be seen!
But she also thought… once you’ve seen something the first time, it doesn’t make a difference how many times you look afterward, right?
So… her fingers didn’t quite close all the way.
Through the gaps in her fingers, she could see the little brown-haired loli shaking her arms, brushing off the remaining light particles…
So, this stuff can be brushed off!
Now, her snow-white, tender skin was fully revealed.
She had lost some of her ethereal aura but gained 100% realism, except… for the big, movable ears on her head and the fluffy tail swaying behind her.
Ears… tail?!
Ye Zhibai quickly removed her hands from her face!
She was excited!!
“Fox girl!!” Ye Zhibai said this while pointing at the fox loli with a cold expression.
“Huh?!” Even the brown-haired loli was startled by the sudden intensity, “What are you doing, getting all worked up! Haven’t you seen a deity before?”
“I… I’m sorry…”
Really sorry, I got excited just now.
But… if I’m not mistaken, as the light particles fell away from this loli, she seemed to suddenly grow big fluffy ears and a tail?
Just like—a fox’s ears and tail.
As a devoted researcher of the second dimension, how could Ye Zhibai not care about this rare hobby!
—The cat I picked up really changed, but she didn’t turn into a cat girl; she turned into a fox girl.
“What’s with all the plot holes here, geez!”
The fox loli spread her arms and complained in her incredibly sweet yet childish voice.
“Sigh… I knew my divine power wouldn’t hold, thought it would last a bit longer. Didn’t expect to reveal my true form right away! Haha, why are you so surprised? This is my true form. It’s kind of new to me too, so this is what my human form looks like. In your human terms, it’s… like I can’t hide my fox tail!”
Why are you roasting yourself?!
To be honest, at this point, Ye Zhibai was no longer that nervous.
One reason was that the loli’s manner of speaking was too goofy, and she was too cute to be scary.
Another reason was that Ye Zhibai wasn’t interested in her childlike figure!
Cough… okay, maybe just a tiny bit…
As Ye Zhibai’s thoughts raced, the fox loli’s toes brushed against her thigh.
Ye Zhibai felt a mix of nervousness and helplessness.
Because of the earlier scare… her body was weak, making it hard to move.
From the corner of her eye, she could feel the fox loli’s gaze appraising her from head to toe.
Suddenly, Ye Zhibai’s perspective changed!
Because this mere fox loli had actually grabbed her chin with her tiny fingers, forcing her to raise her head!
Their eyes met, Ye Zhibai’s cold gaze clashing with the fox loli’s starry eyes that revealed no emotion.
Neither of them could look away.
The shame of it! Ye Zhibai wanted to punch her hard right now!
But she couldn’t hit, couldn’t resist, which made it all the more humiliating.
The fox loli stared intently at Ye Zhibai’s indifferent face.
She laughed to herself.
“So that’s it… Mother Goddess’s concept of perfection has indeed created something absurdly beautiful. Ridiculously beautiful. She herself is the most beautiful, yet she created something even more beautiful than herself. How ironic…”
Her voice had a teasing tone.
It didn’t sound like something a mere child would say.
Instead, it felt like… the words of a sage who had lived for ages.
“Ye Zhibai… hmm? No, you should be called Ye Zhibai now. You’re quite honest, aren’t you? Were you just sneaking a look at my body? Hahaha, how funny. You have a body yourself, and it’s even more beautiful and mature than mine, so why not look at your own?”
You’re full of crap! I already looked at myself for ages!
“You…! Huh?!”
Ye Zhibai no longer cared about anything else.
Because just now, the fox loli’s tone made her completely recall that annoying light orb!
Along with this passive, inexplicable shame…
Her anger flared up.
Her strength returned.
Ye Zhibai suddenly stood up, grabbing the fox loli’s shoulders forcefully, using her height advantage to loom over her.
Her voice was cold, but she was clearly anxious.
“Was it you… who turned me into a girl?”
“Yes~ it was me, it was me! Feel free to thank me! But…”
The fox loli’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
She tilted her head and glanced at Ye Zhibai’s hand gripping her shoulder.
“Could you please not squeeze so hard? I am a deity, after all, deserving of some respect.”
The pressure!
Ye Zhibai suddenly had a bad feeling!
She felt this little loli was very dangerous!
However…
Nothing happened.
The fox loli just kept glaring.
Ye Zhibai’s hand still gripped her shoulder firmly.
“……” “……”
The atmosphere was incredibly awkward for a moment.
“Hmm?” The fox loli tried glaring again.
Still, nothing happened.
Then, she had a look of sudden realization!
Ye Zhibai remembered too…
This inexplicable, perverted, naked loli had mentioned earlier that her powers were exhausted, hadn’t she?
The fox loli sheepishly retracted her previously cold gaze.
Instead, a sudden soft and cute smile appeared on her face.
This cute fox loli, with a bitter smile, rubbed the back of her head and gently pointed at Ye Zhibai’s hand on her shoulder, clearly indicating.
—Dear friend, could you please let go a bit?
But there was no way Ye Zhibai was going to let her off!
Not only did she not let go, but she also tightened her grip.
“Ah…!! It hurts, it hurts!! You… kind human! You should… let go yourself! Don’t make me do it, do you know what it costs to exhaust and injure a deity?”
“……”
Ye Zhibai instinctively felt she didn’t actually have the ability to resist…
If this loli really was a deity…
She was somewhat underwhelming.
When she glared just now, she had looked so cool and fierce.
But it had only been a few seconds…
The fox loli, unwilling to give up, kept pleading with Ye Zhibai while desperately trying to glare at her hand again!
Her face turned bright red from the effort, but still, nothing happened.
Before long, Ye Zhibai let go.
Not because she pitied her.
Not for any other reason, either, but purely because… holding onto a loli’s smooth, bare shoulder felt a bit embarrassing.
Freed, the fox loli plopped down onto the ground, her fluffy brown tail spreading out underneath her like a cushion.
Ye Zhibai glanced down and quickly averted her gaze.
Heh… she really is like a child. Her tail is fluffy, and in some places, it’s not fluffy at all.
The fox loli, looking like she had just run a thousand meters, was blushing and panting heavily.
Her small back was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
Ye Zhibai, standing over her, observed the fox loli sitting on the ground from a top-down perspective.
She was thinking.
What’s going on… why does such a creature exist in this world?!
Never mind…
I turned into a girl; that’s even more amazing than this creature.
However…
Ye Zhibai’s gaze kept straying to one particular feature.
The fox loli’s ears.
They move… her ears move.
As she panted slightly, those ears really were twitching back and forth!
Ye Zhibai, being an avid fan of the second dimension, was fascinated.
Even though she was still in a state of shock and confusion, all she could see were those twitching fox ears!
Is this real… or fake?
Ye Zhibai swallowed.
Confirming this… could help her gain the upper hand in understanding the current situation, right?
The fox loli was still sitting on the ground, resting and catching her breath.
“Phew… human… it’s just that my power is sealed by 99.999%, otherwise, if you dared touch me like that, you’d be nine parts dead and… meow?!!”
Why is a fox meowing?!
Never mind what she’s saying.
Ye Zhibai had already reached out and pinched her fox ear between her fingers.
Pinch~~
