9. The Aunt and the Monster Have Arrived
The body of this
monster is perfect, not a single excess of flesh. The pale legs are straight
and slender, the skin tender as if it could be pinched and water would come
out.
Except for the chest
being a bit small… but it's still developing, it will grow eventually.
To have such a body is
truly the ultimate enjoyment in the world.
Don't misunderstand,
here 'to have' means to be able to hold this body in one's arms, not to become
the master of this body.
That would only let
others enjoy the ultimate.
No, what ultimate
enjoyment, I'm still underage.
…What am I thinking
about, all this nonsense?
I'm clearly a
26-year-old on the verge of middle age.
…
After bathing, I
cleaned the cloak covered with weeds and dirt. This cloak doesn't get wet, just
shake it a few times after washing and it can be worn, no need to hang it up,
I'm more and more curious about what it's made of.
In the following time,
I plan to study the use of the two forces within my body. Although I don't like
fighting, I dislike being manipulated by others even more.
Thinking of the
arrogant force when the bearded swordsman questioned me makes me angry, I
secretly swear in my heart if I see him again, I will make him kneel and call
me daddy.
A pale blue mist
lights up in my hand, I close my eyes, carefully feeling the connection with
this power.
I first condense a
small ice spike on my palm, then try to move it, attempting to make it float in
the air.
There are two ways to
use the power of frost that I've discovered so far, an extremely low
temperature mist that can freeze people stiff, and sharp ice. Previously, when
using it, I always released all my power at once. Although it looks quite
intimidating, it's only obvious when dealing with groups. Once it's one-on-one,
such a method is very foolish, and it's easy to feel tired.
When I was escaping
before, the black smoke and frost were used in succession, both bursting out,
so I quickly became exhausted.
This tiredness is not
physical fatigue, nor mental exhaustion, but a third kind of energy between the
two. This energy also comes from this body, whether it's frost or black smoke,
it consumes it.
I don't know how
strong that bearded swordsman is, but without a doubt, he must be among the top
in humanity. If every human was as strong as him, there would be no need to
fear the Abyss.
Similarly, he said I
am a monster from the Abyss, a being that can bring disaster to the world.
Humans make such a big deal to fight me, so I have no reason to be so weak. My
physical condition and senses are definitely not weaker than his, and if I could
turn into a monster again, my physical strength would be far superior to his.
Compared to him, I just lack practical skills and experience.
Let's not talk about
practical experience for now, what I need to train next is the skill of using
these two powers.
I need a more diverse
range of attack methods, as well as the exquisite movement abilities like the
swordsman.
I'm not like those
transmigrators in stories, I don't have such good luck, nor do I have a good
teacher to teach me, I can only rely on myself.
Fortunately, I'm
already used to such solitary efforts.
Casting aside the
miscellaneous thoughts in my heart, I begin to try various methods.
On the first day, I
successfully made the ice spikes float in the air.
By the second night, I
could already control three ice spikes flying rapidly in the air.
By the fourth day, I
could make ice spikes appear anywhere within twenty meters and learned to use
the frost mist to turn a considerable area around me into a world of ice and
snow.
During these days, my
progress in using frost has been rapid, and the connection with that cold
breath has become tighter and tighter.
The only thing that
troubles me is the issue of food. After eating fruits for four or five days in
a row, now I feel nauseous just looking at them.
I also thought about
hunting some game, but my ability is ice, not fire, I can't always eat raw
meat, that's too horrible. The black smoke can condense into black flames, but
that has no temperature… It's better to just think about making fire by friction.
Moreover, for some
reason, as time goes by, my appetite is getting bigger and bigger. On the first
day, eating two or three fruits was enough, but by the fourth day, eating ten
didn't feel quite enough.
I've also eaten
mushrooms and other plants, but that taste…
Better not to mention
it.
Am I awakening a
foodie attribute?
To be honest, I've
already had the idea of leaving this forest…
I really want to eat
something salty.
…
Then on the sixth day,
my period came.
That day, the sun
itself seemed to shy away behind the clouds.
Intermittent cramps
radiated from my lower abdomen, and I sat listlessly in the middle of the
stream, submerging my lower half in the water, staring blankly at the bright
red that slowly diffused from my body.
It seems to be a heavy
flow.
I, Chen Yuxuan, am
capable of pregnancy.
Lifting my head, my
face showed a solemnity that not even a thousand men's siege could evoke.
…
I'm not a monster that
crawled out of the Abyss, am I? Not a being that brings destruction to the
world!
Where's my dignity?!!!
What do I do now? I'm
completely at a loss.
Does this world even
have sanitary pads? Even if it does, where would I get them now…
But I can't just soak
in the water forever, the cramps in my lower abdomen seem to be getting worse.
The wound on my waist
has mostly healed… maybe I should just use that piece of cloth for now?
Standing up, I
unwrapped the cloak tied around my waist, washed it clean, and then wrapped it
around my lower body.
It looked a bit
unsightly, like a loose diaper… but whatever, there's no need to care about
looks for this thing.
Stepping out of the
stream, I first hopped a couple of times to make sure it wouldn't fall off,
then walked a few steps.
Then I felt a warm
flow trickle down the inside of my thigh.
…This damn cloth
doesn't absorb water at all!!!
Aaahhh!!!
In frustration, I tore
off the useless fabric and threw it to the ground, then silently stepped back
into the stream.
I'm falling apart.
"Thud—"
Huh? What's that
sound?
The dull noise pulled
me out of my despair, and I furrowed my brow.
"Thud—"
Another thud, and
ripples spread across the stream with the sound.
What's happening? An
earthquake?
"Swish," I
stood up again, quickly grabbed the cloak from the shore, and put it on.
From the west, a flock
of birds flew into the sky in panic, and the sound of trees being snapped
reached my ears.
What is that thing?!
Sensing something was
wrong, I quickly hid behind a tree. Then, after a thought, I picked up the
piece of cloth from the ground and hid again.
I watched warily in
the direction of the noise, as if some colossal creature was approaching.
Soon, a white beast,
as large as a mountain, broke through the forest.
The beast, easily over
ten meters tall, bore a massive dragon's head but was covered in white fur and
walked upright. Its chest had blood-red exoskeletons, and numerous thick,
curved horns grew behind its head. Its claws were as sharp as blades, giving it
a fierce and terrifying appearance.
What is this!? A white
dragon-like beast? Is this the white dragon mentioned by those knights?
Aside from its head,
where does it resemble a dragon!?
It's more like a white-furred
Godzilla!!
The giant Godzilla…
no, the white dragon, with heavy steps, reached the stream, lay down, and began
to drink. Its thick, long tongue caused huge splashes with each lap.
I watched in horror as
the beast, less than ten meters from me, raised my anxiety. I swallowed hard.
This is terrifying; if
it discovers me, I'll be dead instantly, right?
I should sneak away
quietly…
With that decision, I
began to retreat, but accidentally stepped on a twig, making a faint
"crack" sound.
The beast lifted its
head alertly and looked in my direction.
My heart leaped to my
throat, and I dared not move a muscle.
A warm sensation crept
down my leg.
It was itchy, but I
didn't dare to scratch.
Wow smart mc, one that actually knows about her period
