Chapter 14: Gifts and Vinegar

"Hiss~hiss."

Lucy, who had been knocked to the ground, quickly jumped up again, only to see it hunched down, its back hunched, its hair standing on end, and its sharp nails and fangs exposed. It screamed with rage, then hissed with a threatening sound.

Seeing Lucy staring at him with hatred in her eyes, Fuyao stopped her mental coercion, sighed lightly and said, "Alas~." Never mind. If you don't want to, then I won't force it. ”

Fuyao: "Don't blame me. I just gave it a try. If it's a low-level monster that can't withstand even a little mental coercion, that's what's best for you and for it. I don't mean that it is lowly, but the path of cultivation is the most lonely and cruel. If you can't keep up with the other party, it's better to part ways in the first place. ”

Lucy: "Hmph. Rory rambles, and says something useless. ”

Fuyao: "Alas~." You'll understand later. Do you know how many demon clans are arrogant, because they are obsessed with weak humans, and finally become sad and die alone?

Do you know how many strong people end up alone because their peers can't keep up with them? You're still too young to experience the pain of life and death. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Zheng Ming, who was paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud, and said to it: "Judging from the fact that you can communicate, have wisdom, and withstand the spiritual coercion just now, you should not be a simple low-level monster. Are you in control of the things that are all around and beyond?

I saw that they could not only devour all things, but also divide their clones. For the sake of the little guy, I would like to advise you, accept it when you see it, and it is too much. There are so many creatures that are more powerful than you can imagine, and you make them unrecognizable at your doorstep, so watch out for them to settle accounts with you. ”

Fuyao: "Little guy, since you don't want to go with me, I won't force you." I don't have anything to give you, here are my three tail hairs for you to put away. If you shout my name when you're in danger, it will sacrifice itself to slay your enemies for you. ”

Seeing Fuyao's sincere and concerned look, Lucy was also a little ashamed of her attack on the other party just now.

It whispered an apologetic, "Yes...... I'm sorry. You've been nice to me, and I attacked you just now. ”

Fuyao: "Hee-hee, little thing, do you know I'm good to you?" Don't worry about that, you're still too young and weak, and it's normal to have a little bit of bestiality and instinct left in you. With your current attack, it won't hurt me at all. Oh yes. These are some basic common sense about this world, and as for the cultivation method, I won't be ugly. Your bloodline is much better than what I know you can give away. ”

Fuyao stretched out his right palm and put it to his mouth as he spoke, and blew softly. As she moved, a ball of soft white light, like a dandelion, slowly drifted towards Lucy, seeping into it and disappearing as if it had touched its forehead.

Fuyao looked at Lucy, who closed her eyes and accepted the message she sent, and nodded in satisfaction. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head to look at Zheng Ming.

"I can't tell if you're a demon or a monster, and I don't know if you're an ancestor who became a god, and if you can transform into a shape. But for the sake of the little guy, I give you a chance to form a good fate, hoping to help you purify your bloodline and transform as soon as possible. ”

After Fuyao finished speaking, he also blew on Zheng Ming, only to see a colorful point of light floating in front of Zheng Ming and integrating into its body.

Fuyao: "Alright. Since you don't want to come with me, there's no point in me being here. I hope you can grow up smoothly. If you want to come and see me in the future, just find a small or larger demon clan and report my name. We hope to see each other again in the future. ”

After saying goodbye to Lucy, Fuyao turned around neatly and flew away as a long rainbow.

On the other side, Zheng Ming absorbed the light point given by Fuyao, and the voice in his heart sounded again.

[Obtained, the gift of the dog demon Fuyao.] The energy intensity is increased, and the mana is transformed into the demon qi. One step closer to the Yuan Qi, which constitutes the most original source of the world. 】

[Mental power is improved. 】

[Awakening Talent Transformation. Can transform into a human form, but talents and skills will be weakened or enhanced by the changed race, just like a mimic. 】

"Hey, system. I don't know if it's a delusion, but how do I feel like you're talking too much? Can you communicate at all? ”

No response! was obviously mentally prepared, but Zheng Ming still had a feeling of unhappiness being ignored.

"No matter. Just think you're a brainless mute. ”

After deliberately saying some annoying words, Zheng Ming shook his head and shouted while imagining what he looked like in his previous life.

"Transfiguration."

One second, two seconds, five seconds, ten seconds. Time passed quietly, but Zheng Ming, who thought he could finally transform back into human form, did not change in any way.

"What? What's going on? System, you explain it to me clearly. Why can't the skill be activated? Why am I still a lump? What about my handsome human form? If you don't explain it clearly today, I'm not done with you. ”

Disappointed, Zheng Ming collapsed and rolled on the ground. It seems that the system also sensed Zheng Mingshan's unrelenting firmness, and explained it in his heart.

[To activate the transformation for the first time, you need to devour a creature in human form.] 】

"I rub? You're really good at communicating with me, aren't you? Why did you ignore my question before? Am I your host anyway? You keep looking at me laughing? Let me talk to myself alone? ”

What made Zheng Ming almost collapse again was that it was ignored again...

"What kind of high cold? Do you ignore me again? Believe it or not, I'm going to find a piece of tofu and hit it headfirst right now? I see what you're going to do when my host dies? ……。 ”

[Please don't force each other to die. Your death will not have any effect on me. Don't be presumptuous, it's useless. 】

“??? I*, you***, ***, believe it or not, let you *****....... ”

Zheng Ming, who was suddenly hit by a critical blow, finally lost his mind, and the indescribable words in his mouth spat out wildly.

Lucy, who had been closing her eyes to receive the information after receiving the gift, opened her eyes and happened to see Zheng Ming's extremely abstract side at this time.

Lucy: "Hey, what are you doing?" Who do you scold? ”

Lucy's crisp and melodious voice pulled Zheng Ming's sanity back. I saw that after coming back to its senses, its rare old face turned red, and Gu left and right said to him: "Huh? No, nothing. I'm practicing my mouth cannon skills. If you encounter danger next time, try to spray the enemy to death. ”

Lucy didn't think much about Zheng Ming's unreliable answer, looked around and asked, "Oh, understood." What about Fuyao? ”

“。。。 What do you know? If you don't complain about me, it will make me feel like a retarded person! ”

"Ahh All right. She's gone? ”

"Alas~ Forget it. Tired. Yes, she left early. ”

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief when she received Zheng Ming's confirmation. This made Zheng Ming extremely curious, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "She saved you, and she was so good to you, why didn't you follow her instead?"

Lucy: "I don't know. It made me feel uncomfortable with her. It's very comfortable to be with you. ”

After receiving Lucy's answer, Zheng Ming's heart warmed, and his eyes became softer and softer as he watched Lucy.

However, it was ashamed to reveal its inner emotions, but it changed the topic with a smile on its lips.

"Hehe, but then again, when I was attacked just now, you attacked her on my side without saying a word, but it moved me badly."

Lucy: "Of course. You're my companion. You must know that until now, there are only two companions who have been recognized by me. One of them is you. Of course I'm going to help you. ”

Zheng Ming: "Wow." Am I so important? Who's that other companion? Was it the master of your past life? ”

Lucy: "Huh? How can it be? The master is the master, how can it be a companion? The other companion is a husky with a dumb face. ”

Zheng Ming: "!! ”

The words that were unintentionally said were the most heart-wrenching, and Zheng Ming felt this way at this time. But he still didn't give up and continued to ask: "Then you told me that you like me the most, do you mean that I am more important than the master in your previous life?" ”

Lucy: "Huh? How can it be? What are you thinking? How can you be more important than the master? You are my favorite person in "this" world. ”

Zheng Ming: "... ”

Zheng Ming only felt that the vinegar in his heart was churning at this time, and he didn't even know what it was...
