Second Metamorphosis | Bai Lu: Aren't You Going to Take Responsibility?

"Ready...!"

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

"It all comes down to this. I have to handle it!"

The young girl clenched her teeth, a resolute light flashing in her eyes.

The Palm Bone was only one step away from its Second Metamorphosis.

Having reached this crucial point, there was no way she could retreat!

"Bear with it. Here I come!"

Bai Lu nodded slightly and once again controlled his right hand, igniting it with blazing fire.

Under the scorching heat, the impurities in the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber's black outer layer were burned away.

The gradually softening golden substance gave off an enticing sheen and waves of unique fragrance.

"Open your mouth!"

Bai Lu no longer hesitated and fed the softened Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth.

"Ah~"

Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head back, opened her mouth, and swallowed the Whale Rubber in one gulp.

"Gulp—!"

The sound of swallowing was especially clear in the silent bathroom.

The next second...

"Boom—!!!"

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted. She felt as though a sun had exploded inside her body!

The Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber's energy erupted within her like a volcanic explosion. The scorching current swept through every inch of flesh and blood, every bone, every meridian like molten lava!

The energy of Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber was ten times greater than that of Thousand Year Whale Rubber, and a hundred times more violent!

"Urgh... ah—!"

The young girl could not stop herself from throwing back her head and crying out.

Her moans held cries of pain, yet were also filled with an indescribable comfort.

"Crackle, crackle~"

Dense sounds rang out from the bones throughout her body, while strange blood-red sweat continuously seeped out...

The most astonishing change was in her left hand.

The Palm Bone was like a Taotie that had starved for a thousand years, madly devouring the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber's energy.

Then, it burst out with an unprecedented dark gold radiance!

"Crack, crack..."

Fine sounds of bone cracks sounded. The bone density in her left hand rose madly, its internal structure reorganizing and becoming even harder and stronger!

In a daze, Zhu Zhuqing could feel the strength in her left hand soaring at a terrifying speed.

After activating the Palm Bone, even without using a Soul Skill, the strength of her left hand was at least twice that of her right!

About half an hour later, the Great Strength Diamond Palm, having completed its metamorphosis, gradually dimmed.

"It worked..."

Zhu Zhuqing's taut body relaxed slightly.

But the vast remaining Whale Rubber energy was like energy like a runaway wild horse, rampaging through her meridians and striking every cell.

"...Hot... so hot..."

Zhu Zhuqing's consciousness began to blur. Her purple black cat eyes grew unfocused, mist gathering within them.

She felt as though thousands of ants were crawling and gnawing inside her body.

The searing flames ignited every inch of her nerves.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone operated frantically, rapidly repairing her body and accelerating the strengthening process.

However, healing was the Right Leg Bone's specialty.

Dispelling the flames and calming the heat was not.

"Eek~ ah~"

Gradually, the young girl's eyes became seductive, and she let out unconscious whimpers.

Her entire delicate body was rosy beneath its pale skin, like a ripe peach.

She no longer covered her delicate body with her hands. Instead, she instinctively twisted and rubbed herself against the cold edge of the bathtub.

Trying to ease the flames that seemed about to devour her.

Fortunately, she was taking a bath, and the cold water could ease a little of the heat.

Otherwise, no matter how much clothing she wore, she would have ruthlessly torn it apart herself...

Then, she saw Bai Lu.

A trace of longing and a trace of... wildness flashed through her unfocused cat eyes.

"Mm..."

She struggled to stand from the bathtub, splashing water everywhere.

Her perfect curves were laid bare under the moonlight. Every inch of skin glowed with an enticing pink hue, hung with crystal clear droplets of water.

Swaying and stumbling, she threw herself at Bai Lu.

"Little Kitten, don't blame me~ You brought this on yourself!"

Bai Lu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who had completely lost her reason and was pressing herself against him with seductive eyes, then took a deep breath.

"Wah~ ngh~"

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, merely rubbing against Bai Lu with a dazed expression.

"Looks like I'll have to help you let off some more heat!"

He flexed his wrist and slowly raised his pair of fair, slender fingers.

This greedy little kitten had to be punished right here!

Bai Lu's fingers were cool, and his technique was exquisite. He had perfectly mastered the art of helping others relieve stress.

"Ou ou ah ah, yeah~ duang~! duang~! duang~!"

In the bathroom, the noisy sound of water rose and fell without end.

Who knew how much time passed.

Puff—!

"Urgh! Ha!"

Who knew how much time passed before the White Tiger Girl's body trembled. As though all her strength had been drained away, she collapsed limply in the bathtub.

Her eyes rolled white, her breathing faint and delicate. Only her violently rising and falling chest proved that she was still alive.

"Damn~ You really enjoyed that again."

Bai Lu looked at the young girl, completely drained in the bathtub, and shook his head.

He could not even be bothered to get dressed. After simply pulling the young girl from the bathtub and drying her off, he carried her out of the bathroom and placed her on the bed in the bedroom.

The moment she touched the bed, the young girl curled into a ball and fell into a deep sleep like an exhausted little kitten.

"Good girl. Sleep well, Little Kitten."

Bai Lu lay beside her, looking at her peaceful sleeping face as he gently stroked her cheek.

The long, chaotic night finally grew quiet.

--

The following morning.

Sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains and fell across Zhu Zhuqing's face.

Before she even opened her eyes, she felt incomparably comfortable all over, as though a professional masseuse had given her a full-body massage.

"Ah, mm~"

She smacked her lips and hazily enjoyed the embrace of the blankets.

But... why did that familiar, soft Brainwave sensation press against the back of her head again?

The young girl's body stiffened, and her mind abruptly cleared.

Without opening her eyes, she cautiously fumbled around for a while like a cat that had stolen something.

Under the blanket, there was nothing at all~

I can't open my eyes. I hope it's just my imagination!

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing truly wished she could sleep herself to death and never wake up again.

It's a pity... she could not sleep!

"What? Is my embrace so comfortable that you can't bear to wake up?"

A familiar voice came from above her head.

Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to face reality and slowly open her eyes.

Then, she saw "herself" once again.

"Ah!"

The young girl instantly woke up. She sat bolt upright and grabbed the blanket, wrapping it around herself.

But despite this... she did not feel the slightest bit safe...

Because...

"Why aren't you wearing clothes? Have you no shame!"

The young girl looked at the White Tiger Girl possessed by Bai Lu with shame and anger.

Two patches of red gradually appeared on her usually cold pretty face.

It turned out that it was not only her side that was completely bare.

Bai Lu's side was bare as well!

"What's the big deal? We're one of us. Isn't it better to be honest with each other?"

Bai Lu curled his lips and looked at the young girl with interest.

"You... I..."

Zhu Zhuqing stammered, her cheeks flushed bright red.

For the first time, she felt that the phrase "one of us" could be so embarrassing!

"What do you mean, 'I'? You were the one who threw yourself at me yesterday!"

Bai Lu sat up, stretched lazily, and puffed out his chest.

"What, you devoured me completely and now you refuse to take responsibility?"

"Aren't you going to take responsibility for me?"
