Xie Ziyuan was ashamed and horrified. H-how could someone have control over his body like that?!
First, it was his inner space, and now they could even trigger his polymorph ability.
In contrast to Xie Ziyuan’s indignation and anger, Su Yining was confused. She scratched her head when she saw the text bubble above Xie Ziyuan’s head.
Yuanyuan is angry? Do all game main characters have free will like that now?
She couldn’t help but poke his hand, signaling to the goat. She wanted him to take it and bring it home. The forest seemed to be dangerous, so he should hurry.
Xie Ziyuan could feel someone poking his hand, as soft as the breeze passing by. The person seemed to be dragging him toward the dead goat.
His heart was still conflicted, but he still followed what the person wanted and took the headless goat. His heart was still rather unconciled. The person didn’t even bother to answer him!
He crouched down and inspected the goat first. If the pollution level was above fifty percent, he couldn’t eat it. Although his current body was like an empty shell now, lacking a power, it didn’t hinder his eyes’ ability.
Unlike other beastmen, he didn’t need to use a device to check a dead being’s pollution level.
"Are you still here?" Xie Ziyuan’s eyes flickered.
Then, he heard rustling leaves. Something was moving on the grass. His eyes shot toward it. As if frightened because of the intimidation, a little thing jumped out.
It looked at him in hesitation.
Xie Ziyuan narrowed his eyes. Was it the person who had followed him...? He instantly discarded the thought. The small black cat on the ground was trembling in fright.
Such a cowardly nature. That person even ignored him so blatantly. Instead of answering his question, they wanted him to go get the goat. It couldn’t be this small black cat.
[Recruit two people. Reward: 50 gold coins. Yes/No]
Su Yining’s eyes sparkled when she saw the word reward. Her finger instantly clicked yes. Fifty gold coins was a lot! When she bought the 99% discounted silver wolf avatar, it had cost her 10 gold coins.
She didn’t know what had happened to Yuanyuan for him to end up in the prison. It was better for him to have the current silver wolf appearance. Lest the wicked people like that ugly wolf found him again!
Once the pop-up message was gone, and she could see the scene happening on the screen again. Yuanyuan was staring at a small black cat!
Her heart was instantly captured by the cute little thing. Does the game want her to help Yuanyuan get followers for his base?
She poked his cheek and tugged at his hand, signalling him to go to the black cat and took it home!
"What do you want?" Xie Ziyuan’s eyes flashed dangerously at the little black cat. He didn’t trust anyone, even a cute little beast. Anyone could backstab him.
The small black cat transformed into a young boy, approximately aged fifteen. He had a pair of animal ears and a long fluffy black tail, staring at Xie Ziyuan cautiously.
"Big brother, I saw you killing that goat..." he fidgeted, fiddling with his fingers. He bit his lip and gathered his courage. "Can I ask you to give me a little bit?"
"Even the tail is enough." He hurriedly added when he saw Xie Ziyuan’s increasingly darkened face.
"Why should I give it to you?" Xie Ziyuan could feel someone was pulling his hand. He ignored it and continued to question the cat beastman.
The boy didn’t know how to answer him.
Meanwhile, Su Yining was astonished when she saw the little black cat transforming into a teenage boy. If Yuanyuan could recruit him, she just needed one more to complete the mission!
She pulled at Xie Ziyuan’s hand again, urging him.
Xie Ziyuan’s mouth twitched when he felt the tugging on his wrist grow stronger. It made him somewhat restless.
He pulled his longsword, making the cat boy step back in fright. In one slash, the tail was severed from the goat’s body. He threw it to to him.
"Take it," he muttered coldly before turning around. The goat disappeared into his inner space.
The cat beastman grabbed the tail and hurriedly expressed his thanks.
Su Yining was a little anxious when she saw Xie Ziyuan walking away. Unfortunately, it wasn’t like other games which directly gave the players power to control the main character.
The main character in this game was so disobedient!
But... Su Yining had to admit that it made her a little excited. This game really gave her some interesting challenges!
Since Yuanyuan was so stubborn, let’s see who would win in terms of stubbornness then. She had seen his hand move when she swiped at it. Although she couldn’t control him directly, it meant she still had influence on him somehow.
An evil grin spread on her face.
Xie Ziyuan was inspecting his current appearance, feeling a little strange in his heart. When he tried to shift into his snake beastman form again, he failed. His face darkened.
He tried again. It still didn’t work. Even when he tried to change into another form, like a lion. His energy was insufficient, he concluded. Or... it could be the person’s influence.
The person seemed to have disappeared not long after he left the cat beastman. They had been tugging his hand on the way back, as if they wanted to drag him to return to him.
Now, the tugging sensation was gone. Did they give up? Had he angered them?
However, when he had arrived in front of the castle, he suddenly felt the familiar sensation again. No matter what he did and where he was, the person kept on bothering him relentlessly for the next hour.
Su Yining giggled when she saw that Yuanyuan was annoyed. She had filled her stomach first before she launched the attack.
Xie Ziyuan’s patience was indeed getting thin. He tried to shake off the person, but they stuck to him like a maggot to a bone!
"Do you want me to go back and take him here?" He asked, already figured out what they wanted.
Since they were so stubborn he should bring the cat beastman back, why didn’t they just tell him directly what to do?
