Selina heaved a sigh. “It means mind your own business. He’s much smarter than you.”
Voracious said angrily, “Don’t lie to me. You actually want to go with him. I can sense your longing.”
Selina glared at it. “Didn’t we say no reading me without permission?”
Voracious said, “I sensed it earlier; that’s not a violation.”
Lost for words for a moment, Selina said, “What can I do even if I go? I can’t help him.”
Voracious rolled its dog eyes. “I can help you.”
Selina scoffed. “Save it. He already said earlier not to let you possess me so that you don’t learn everything.”
Voracious snorted disdainfully. “I’m not a human being. Why are you so scared of me learning your secrets?”
Selina mumbled inwardly, I don’t have many secrets, but a certain someone does.
Voracious continued to persuade her. “I can promise that I won’t control your body randomly. After all, I’m just an outsider, and Dollar is my official host while you’re at most a temporary one.” Selina hesitated.
“Don’t you want to know what he’s doing out there?” asked Voracious.
It was actually eager to find out what that tricky man got up to in the middle of the night.
After a long pause, Selina finally nodded. “Okay. Just this once.”
Voracious nodded. “I promise.”
As it spoke, its liquid body flowed out of Dollar’s back, and the golden dog head at the top suddenly broke away from the body underneath it and turned into a liquid ball that bounced on the bed.
Looking at the ball in surprise, Selina suddenly remarked, “Why do I feel that you look like Slime?”
Voracious didn’t know what Slime was.
Even though they had combined before, it hadn’t sensed all of Selina’s memories.
Only the more unforgettable or recent memories were more distinct.
It just bounced up and down a few times. “Can’t you be a little more proactive? It’s very difficult for me to move in this form.”
Selina looked at the cute-looking golden Slime reluctantly, before she stretched out her left hand to touch it.
The moment she made contact, the golden ball spread up over her fingers like mercury and swiftly covered her arm before spreading from her left shoulder to the rest of the body.
Selina gasped harshly and stuttered, “This… doesn’t feel very comfortable.”
Voracious didn’t reply. The golden liquid continued forward until it covered her entire body, then instantly disappeared.
Selina was gasping hard for breath. “Is that it?”
Voracious hummed and said, “Yes. Don’t forget Luke’s rules. I don’t want my food portion reduced tomorrow. So, let’s not talk, and just communicate with our minds.”
Selina nodded and examined her body for a moment, but she didn’t see any difference.
Voracious suddenly roared angrily in her mind. Apologize!
Selina: Huh?
Voracious: You called me Slime? That lowly, slug-like creature that doesn’t have a shred of intelligence? Apologize! Selina smiled awkwardly. I was just talking about your appearance, and I think Slime’s very cute.
Voracious: Really? Wait… no matter how cute they are, they’re still stupid? Apologize! Selina nodded helplessly. I’m sorry. You’re not Slime. I just don’t read a lot, so I couldn’t find a suitable way to describe you.
Voracious: Fine, seeing how sincere you are, I’ll forgive you. Now, do I need to show you the complete symbiotic form?
Selina grew curious. You have a complete form?
Voracious: It’s a secret for now. Luke said I shouldn’t let anyone see me.
Selina: Let’s try it in the house then, but you have to hide it when we go out.
Voracious: Alright, but if he reduces my food portion, I’ll eat yours.
Selina: You wish.
Voracious: What are you thinking? Damn it, he’s actually never reduced your food portion? Why not?!
Selina chuckled. Alright, enough, hurry up and show me the complete form. At that moment, she was standing in front of the full-length mirror in her room
The next instant, golden liquid surged out of her body and enveloped her in the blink of an eye.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Selina was stupefied. “This is… me?”
Voracious: No, this is… us.
In the mirror stood a humanoid form that looked like a golden statue.
It was more than two meters tall with distinct muscles all over.
However, it had very obvious feminine characteristics in its curvy figure, the long and strong legs and the waist that was relatively thinner.
The face was a little similar to Voracious’s face.
The eyes were like white jade or bone, but more narrow and pointed as they slanted upward.
But the face didn’t have a mouth, ears or a nose.
The most important thing was that… it didn’t have any hair!
Looking at that dazzling and smooth bald head, Selina suddenly remembered some nonsense Luke was always spouting: How can you be strong without going bald?
Sensing the intense fluctuations in Selina’s emotions, Voracious was dissatisfied. Hey! This is the complete form, so the head is one of the defining features. Is it strange? Also, what the hell does getting strong have to do with going bald?!
Selina: Then cancel the complete form first.
Voracious canceled the complete form angrily. It’s not like I’m lying to you.
It moved very quickly, and the golden color disappeared as swiftly as it had appeared.
Looking at her original appearance in the mirror, Selina stroked her long hair, not completely recovered from her fear. “Thank god it’s still here.”
Voracious was too lazy to make a fuss; it realized that Selina was especially obsessed when it came to her hair.
This wasn’t a lack of trust, but more of a conditioned reflex.
“If you don’t leave now, you won’t catch up with Luke,” it reminded her.
Struck with realization, Selina quickly pulled on some loose clothes and covered her face with sunglasses and a face mask before she left the house.
She frowned when she stepped outside, and asked in her heart, Which way?
Voracious: Left. I have a sharp nose.
Selina started running. Did you learn from Dollar?
Voracious was very pleased with itself. Haha, I can learn the abilities of my host. What do you think? Aren’t I awesome?
Selina was stunned. Then if you combine with a spider, will you be able to produce spider thread?
Voracious scoffed. Like I need to learn that. I can lengthen my tentacles and you can swing around on them in the city… But forget it, Luke said I can’t expose myself.
Selina nodded. That’s right, someone will definitely snap a pic if you mess about, and then there’ll be people who’ll want to catch you and study you.
Voracious knew what “study” meant. That was the reason why it was so obedient.
Compared with how it could eat and drink as it pleased here, being cut up for research was too scary. As she ran through a dark alley, Selina could sense that she was a lot stronger after combining with Voracious.
