Chapter 2109: Cruise Ship and Flesh Transformation

~11 min read 2,130 words

Adapting to his body, Xia De, in Miss Lei Qianya's arms, wanted to learn from Little Mia's technique of shaking his body to shake off the water, but found himself limp and powerless. And even though he was a cat, he hadn't mastered Little Mia's technique. Fortunately, Miss Lei Qianya saw his intention and put her hand on him to steam dry his fur.

"What's wrong with this? Can't you change back?"

She couldn't care about her own situation at this time, and was still looking down at the cat in her arms with concern. The silver, small cat looked pitiful in her arms, and even if she reached out to stroke it, Xia De cat didn't have the strength to object.

"Is this the price of using power just now?"

"Yes, because of some accidents, I turned into a dragon just now. I now, now can't change back. This is not a simple transformation art; it's like my body structure has changed... I haven't learned human transformation, fortunately, I have learned cat transformation. Maintaining the dragon form consumes too much, so I temporarily fixed the posture as a cat."

The sleepy cat looked in the direction of the distant pier:

"This distance should be out of the church's surveillance range. Tonight's matter is over, let's go back."

The witch knelt on the ice board and hugged the cat in her arms with pity:

"I'll take you back now, rest assured, you will change back."

Xia De, who was about to fall into a deep sleep due to the use of the "divinity overflow" state, nodded gently in the witch's arms and squirmed, only to realize that she was still soaked all over at this moment, and her state was not very good:

"How are you now? Just now, you actually should have returned to the shore in advance."

"Then how were you going to control the out-of-control transformation in the sea?"

She pulled her bracelet off the cat's body. Now Xia De just couldn't change back, but the out-of-control flesh transformation had eased.

"And with your current state, even if I didn't come to help control the transformation, do you still have the strength to go back? Swim back in cat form, or soak in the sea water for a night?"

She asked with pursed lips. Although she knew it was inappropriate, she still wanted to laugh when she thought of the silver cat swimming.

"You're right. If it weren't for you, this time would really be terrible."

The silver cat said softly, and then shook violently in her arms. Miss Lei Qianya thought he wanted to jump out of her arms, but what she saw was a small pink bottle "flying" out of the short fur of the silver cat - flesh transformation had made new progress:

"Feed this to me, just a little bit. I'm a bit sleepy, sorry, I..."

"Don't talk anymore, let's go back now."

Hugging the cat with one arm, she picked up the strange perfume bottle from her pocket with the other hand. Even before opening the bottle cap, she could smell the beautiful scent of the pink essence in the bottle. Not getting an answer from the cat, looking down again, the silver cat had already fallen into a deep sleep in her arms.

Looking at Xia De cat's sleeping face, the witch pursed her lips and smiled suddenly, still feeling that this night was as strange as a dream. She temporarily put the bottle into her pocket, intending to feed it to him after setting off. Standing up while holding the cat, looking at the coastline that was almost invisible, she didn't expect that a sound suddenly appeared behind her:

"The church has blocked the port. Even if your divination is very powerful, it is very likely to be discovered if you go back like this."

"Who is speaking?!"

The startled witch turned around and saw a girl with blue eyes and black hair appearing on the ice board at some point, and she was right behind her. Under the moonlight, the hat worn askew had a silver anchor ornament, and the slender figure matched the white dress, making Bella Lei Qianya, the Countess who was a witch, feel like she was almost about to be compared.

Those blue eyes were glowing in the dark night, but they didn't carry hostility. She signaled the witch to look behind:

"Take my boat, I'll send you back."

The Great Witch of Fate followed her gaze to the sea surface. At some point, a luxury cruise ship that was exaggeratedly large even by the standards of this era was parked not far from the ice board, but she didn't notice it at all just now.

Holding the cat in her arms, she moved away from the strange girl quickly. It was impossible for her to trust this strange girl in this situation.

And the blue-eyed girl also understood the witch's thoughts in front of her. She looked at the cat in the witch's arms gently:

"He is really exhausted, take him back to rest. After he wakes up, don't tell him I appeared for the time being, otherwise, according to the request I promised him, I have to tell him some secrets about Moon Bay."

"Why do you want to help us?"

The Great Witch of Fate didn't care what she said.

"I am his friend... After going back, collect the ritual data of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 summoning the deep-sea evil thing - 'Player of Seven Tails', he needs this."

The floating ice moved slowly towards the cruise ship. Miss Lei Qianya raised her hand gently, and the floating ice left the water surface and flew towards the deck with them. Originally wanting to jump into the sea and leave, the witch felt the thick traces of miracle elements and finally did not choose to escape with the cat.

"I will tell him that you have appeared."

The witch said with a cold face.

"Of course you can."

The blue-eyed girl walked from the floating ice to the deck. As her black high heels touched the deck, the cruise ship set off towards the distant coastline.

"Who on earth are you?"

Bella Lei Qianya also walked down from the floating ice. The moonlight shone on the deck, but she had never heard of the girl in front of her in Moon Bay. Although she didn't know the other party's strength, the girl was definitely not weak.

Standing at the end of the deck behind the figurehead, the girl with blue eyes and black hair stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the silver moon in the sky, and did not answer this question. The cruise ship broke through the pitch-black sea surface like silk without a sound. If the Great Witch of Fate was not keeping vigilant and preoccupied at this moment, she might have discovered that the figurehead of the cruise ship was clearly the appearance of Anqi Elessetris herself.

(Little Mia is running...)

Xia De obtained the first drop of divinity at the "Blood Banquet" in the Lake View Manor in Tobesk and used the power of "divinity overflow," but he only fainted for a whole day after kicking. But as he became stronger, he gradually adapted to using the power of divinity, and the sequelae of "divinity overflow"

Standing behind the figurehead at the end of the deck, the blue-eyed, black-haired girl stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the silver moon in the sky, and did not answer the question. The cruise ship silently cut through the silk-like black sea. If the Great Witch of Fate were not currently remaining vigilant and preoccupied, she might have discovered that the ship's figurehead was clearly the likeness of Angie Eilertris herself.

(Little Mia is running...)

When Xia De first obtained his first drop of divinity at the lakeside manor in Tobesk during the "Blood Banquet" and used the power of "Divine Overflow," he had fallen into a coma for an entire day after just kicking out once. But as he himself became stronger and gradually adapted to using divine power, the aftereffects of "Divine Overflow" were also lessening.

This time he did not fall into a coma for a whole day. When he woke up, the surroundings were very bright, and he was still lying in the arms of a lady. As for why he judged it to be a lady... this was naturally felt. Memories from before the coma surfaced; he was indeed still in the form of a cat. But at least the surroundings were dry, and he could no longer hear the sound of the waves and the wind.

Feeling the cat in her arms squirming, the seated countess immediately looked down, then breathed a slight sigh of relief:

"You're finally awake."

The gas lamp was very bright. The witch was sitting on the sofa, and she had already changed her clothes and appeared to have washed up. She watched the cat in her arms squirm and climb up, the cat's eyes cautiously looking around. Although she had seen this man's alert expression more than once, seeing him display it after turning into a cat was not cold, but rather quite funny.

"What time is it now?"

"We've been back for an hour; it's ten o'clock at night. Do you want to eat something? Hmm... can you eat human food in this form?"

Xia De decided not to answer this question. He jumped out of the witch's arms and stood on the coffee table, discovering that this was indeed already Bellindell Manor. It was still snowing outside the window, which made the warm and comfortable interior seem even more attractive. Miss Matilda was also in the study. Seeing the cat look at her, she met the cat's gaze for two seconds, then took the initiative to shift her own eyes away.

Miss Bellindell knew that Xia De needed to clear up the current situation, so she did not immediately speak to disturb him, and Xia De the cat was indeed asking questions in his heart:

"What exactly is the situation now? In the past, when I devoured divinity, I didn't turn into a blood-kin, a fish-man, or a stone-man."

【Outsider, that piece of nameless dragon flesh attached with divinity has caused your life form to change.】

【Your spell: Transfiguration-Cat has sublimated into the wonder: Transfiguration-Cat, corresponding to the "Flesh" spirit rune. During the transformation, personal items can be transformed together, but once taken out, they cannot be carried in cat form again.】

【You have learned the wonder: Transfiguration-Dragon, corresponding to the "Flesh" spirit rune.】

【Because you devoured the "flesh and blood of the nameless dragon," your physical strength and power have been greatly improved.】

The silver cat flicked its tail, and even Miss Bellindell could see his current annoyance. Then Xia De saw the small pink bottle of essence placed on the edge of the coffee table, with an empty baby bottle next to it.

"Um, a baby bottle?"

【Forty-three minutes ago, Bella Bellindell had her head maid find a baby bottle, diluted two drops of essence, and held you while feeding it to you with the bottle. Do you need a more detailed description?】

Although the voice was gentle, it was clear that there were other emotions in "her" smile.

"Don't worry, it's safe now. If you can't find a way to turn back into a human for the time being, just stay here with me tonight. It's very chaotic outside right now; let's think of a way after dawn."

The witch reached out to touch the silver cat's soft back. Xia De the cat instinctively dodged immediately, then the cat on the coffee table turned to look at her, only to see that she was also looking at him. After a few seconds of eye contact, Xia De shifted his gaze away first:

"I know someone who can solve my problem, so I'm leaving now. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to return in human form tomorrow morning."

As he said this, he shook his body violently, and clatter—a crystal shoe was shaken out from the cat's short fur.

The crystal shoe landed on the coffee table, and the bright gas lamp light in the study reflected seven-colored rays on it. Because she knew the man had the "beloved crystal shoe" during the "Dice Story Collection," the countess pursed her lips but did not ask what it was:

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

The tone became somewhat cold for some reason, and those golden eyes watching Xia De the cat seemed to have a bit more resentment... Xia De hoped that he, in cat form, was not misreading someone else's emotions.
