CHAPTER 22 MAKING YOU SKIN!
As soon as Ye Zhibai’s fingers touched that fluffy texture, she confirmed it.
—These are real fox ears.
She had never touched fox ears before, but she had touched cat ears! They weren’t the same species, but the genuine feedback from her fingertips couldn’t be wrong!
Ye Zhibai had plenty of experience petting cats in her past life, her fingers adeptly transitioning between various motions on the fox ears, sometimes pinching, sometimes gently rubbing—these were the skills that could make a cat expose its belly!
Immersed in the healing and satisfying feeling, Ye Zhibai didn’t notice…
The fox loli, whose ears she was fondling, was already trembling uncontrollably.
“Ugh… Human! You… insolent! Insolent!! The ears of a deity must not be… touched! Let go of me!! You will incur divine punishment…! You will be judged! Stop…! I won’t punish you… please… let go… ugh…!”
Huh?!
Her final whimper was like a heavy blow, striking Ye Zhibai’s heart and snapping her out of her daze.
Oh no.
She had gotten carried away!
Ye Zhibai hurriedly released her slender hand.
The fox loli, now freed, collapsed like a puddle of water, her legs going soft, unable to maintain even the duck-sitting position. The whole fox… no, the whole girl… slowly slumped forward, lying flat on the ground.
She was panting heavily, as if to relieve something…
Even her little tongue was involuntarily touching her lips, quivering slightly.
Ye Zhibai looked at her hand, curling her fingers.
Did I just do something terrible?!
I was just pinching some ears, weren’t I! Is it that serious?!
Completely confused, Ye Zhibai glanced around, her eyes quickly locking onto the thin bed sheet on her bed.
Alright… let’s not worry about anything else for now, let’s cover this strange creature with some fabric!
After all, the fox-eared loli had been completely naked since earlier, making it hard for Ye Zhibai to know where to direct her gaze.
With as much speed as she could muster, she grabbed the bed sheet and ran back to the fox loli lying on the ground.
Ye Zhibai lifted the sheet, intending to cover her small, flat body.
But before the sheet could fall… Ye Zhibai’s gaze was once again captured.
Right…
She… she has a fluffy tail too!!
Swaying back and forth, ridiculously fluffy.
Sob sob, I want to pet the tail!
“Human… Human! How dare you?! Try that again, and I’ll fight you!!”
“Sorry…”
Ye Zhibai’s uncontrollable right hand, about to touch the fluffy tail, was forcibly stopped by the fox loli’s scolding.
No choice… though it was a pity, she had to spread the sheet over her and withdraw her hand.
And then, she stepped back!
Ye Zhibai retreated to the door frame, ready to rush out and call for help if needed.
She might have angered this loli!
But this fox loli… didn’t seem very dangerous, rather quite cute.
From Ye Zhibai’s current perspective, leaning against the door frame, the fox loli was nestled in the sheet, her long brown hair scattered around her, moving slightly before settling down.
She slowly wrapped herself in the blanket… and stood up.
“……”
The fox loli held the blanket tightly, using her hands to clutch the corners in front of her, wrapping her body while glaring at Ye Zhibai with a look of shame and anger.
Finally, she spoke.
“Ye… how dare you… you actually dared to grab my ears?! Don’t you know that ears are the source of the world’s truth! They’re very sensitive!”
“Ridiculous…”
“What did you say?!”
“Nothing…”
Ugh, why does everything I say now sound like I’m trying to conserve energy and keep it brief!
At first, the fox loli seemed really angry, but… her expression soon softened.
And she let go of the sheet.
This time, Ye Zhibai didn’t need to cover her eyes.
Because… the fox loli’s body slowly manifested clothes identical to Ye Zhibai’s nightgown, just a size smaller, with her tail naturally hanging out from it.
It was like magic, leaving Ye Zhibai stunned.
The fox loli looked at her new clothes and sighed, “Well… now I’ve used up the last bit of my divine power just to put on some meaningless clothes… truly pitiful for me.”
But at least, now she had clothes.
After grumbling a bit, the fox loli straightened her expression, touched her own ears, blushed slightly, then crossed her arms over her flat chest and looked at Ye Zhibai.
“Well, whatever. As I said, your soul and body are still not fully integrated. It will take some time for them to merge completely. During this period, it’s normal for your speech to be a bit awkward. I won’t blame you for it.”
“Can you even blame me…”
“Do you want me to punch you?!”
“!”
Just a moment ago, you said it was normal for my speech to be awkward!
And now you’re threatening to punch me!
Wait…
Ye Zhibai shook her head, organizing her thoughts in her mind to ensure her words would be more coherent.
Because… this was important.
“So your claim is true… you’re the one who turned me into this… aren’t you?”
“Of course.” The fox loli first spread her arms, then proudly put her hands on her hips! “How is it! Are you satisfied with your new body? No need to thank me!”
“!”
The fox loli then adjusted the wrinkles on her nightgown.
Humans are such a hassle. Shapeshifting is nice, but there are so many rules.
Now that it was clear that the fox loli was the true form of that troublesome light orb, Ye Zhibai wasn’t as afraid anymore…
Her face cold, she advanced step by step, standing right in front of the fox loli.
Staring…
At 1.62 meters tall, Ye Zhibai towered over the approximately 1.50 meters tall loli, exuding a palpable sense of pressure!
The fox loli immediately took a defensive stance as if ready for a fight!
“What are you doing? Just… just so you know! Hitting a deity will bring retribution! I’m not joking! If you want to fight… you better think it through first!”
“You…”
“Don’t hit me!”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t…! Huh?!”
The fox loli was shocked.
She originally thought she was going to be bullied by Ye Zhibai without her former powers. Even if she was played with like before, she wouldn’t have the strength to fight back.
But instead of seeking revenge, Ye Zhibai didn’t harm her.
Instead, she slowly raised her hands and helped tie the bow on the fox loli’s nightgown to keep it from slipping off.
After tying it, Ye Zhibai obediently stepped back two steps.
Tilting her head, she spoke softly.
“At first… I really disliked you, suddenly turning into a girl. I wanted to kill you… but my family is nice… so, thank you.”
“Oh… oh?”
Standing for so long, Ye Zhibai felt a bit tired in this new body.
Under the fox loli’s puzzled gaze, she slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
What she said just now was all from the heart.
Turning her into a girl without her permission was indeed a maddeningly annoying thing.
But thinking about it, did Ye Zhibai have that many choices?
Leaving aside the poverty of her previous life, which had almost reached the point where she might never recover in her lifetime.
To put it bluntly, she was killed in a car accident… demanding this and that would be somewhat unreasonable.
So, being given a new life by the deity and having a family was already something to be grateful for, wasn’t it?
Yes… poor Ye Zhibai had always been someone who was easily satisfied.
The fox loli’s tail poked out from the back of her nightgown again, swishing rapidly from side to side.
A relaxed smile gradually appeared on her cute face. She lightly stepped on the floor with her bare feet, running nimbly to Ye Zhibai’s side, looking left and right, clicking her tongue in wonder.
“Who thought, you… you seemed so fierce in the celestial realm today, always cursing me as a damn light orb, but you’re actually a good person?”
“……”
“Hehe! Should have said so earlier! If I had known, why would I have been so polite with you!”
Getting angry…
Blood pressure rising…
However, the fox loli was getting more and more carried away, unstoppable.
She even patted Ye Zhibai’s shoulder, baring her little fangs as she laughed.
“That’s right! Hahaha! So what if you turned into a girl? It’s a blessing for you! Good, good! Being content means you’re a good human! I like you! You… meow?!”
Ye Zhibai couldn’t take it anymore.
Seizing the opportunity, she firmly grabbed the fox loli’s tail, which was shaking like a fan…
A cold gleam flashed in Ye Zhibai’s eyes.
“You… if your ears are sensitive, your tail isn’t, right?”
“The tail is also… eek!! Don’t squeeze!! I admit I was wrong!! I’m sorry!!”
…………………
Watching the annoying fox loli finally collapse to the ground, twitching and speechless,
Ye Zhibai finally felt a sense of satisfaction.
Grateful for her current situation was true, but the resentment for being turned into a girl was also true!
“Serves you right!”
