I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Becoming Round, Rolling, Ultrasonic

 

By working at the café and with the help of Ouyang Xue, I’ve read a bunch of books related to raising cats and learned a lot of cat-related knowledge. I know that “cat paws” are actually homologous to “human hands.”

 

Tracing back several species, human feet and cat paws are actually of the same origin. The human foot, with its five toes, can be curled up, and the small part from the toes to the sole becomes cat paws, while humans lie the entire thing down.

 

If cat feet were the same as human feet, they would actually be in a “kneeling” position. Yueyue’s tool has changed my walking habits to tiptoeing like a cat, and the most amazing thing is that wearing it, I don’t feel any discomfort at all.

 

“This… is also some kind of magic, right?”

 

As Xiao Mo controls the magic “flying bed” toward our destination, I curiously walk around in place on the bed. The bed is very large, extremely large, as it was transformed from a magic circle with a diameter of about three meters.

 

After Xiao Mo added a bunch of illusion runes to it, the length and width of the bed should also be about three meters. Not to mention me, even an adult can easily walk around in circles on it.

 

“I don’t feel tired at all.”

 

After walking around for a while, I squat down and examine the shape of my feet now. Even when squatting, I maintain the tiptoeing posture. It’s similar to the Lyn in the game “Blade & Soul.”

 

The magical tool is still worn on my right foot, and perhaps because of the activation of the magic, its coil disappeared, leaving only a small cat paw pattern attached to my right ankle. The texture has also changed from the previous hard crystal to a soft appearance like skin, as if it has merged with my body.

 

If I were to take it out… I suppose it’s also about injecting magic energy into this cat paw, right?

 

I tried to lay my sole flat, but soon felt uncomfortable. It’s so strange, these two feelings are actually contradictory…

 

I sat on the small bed, examining my feet. Even though I’m not standing now, my feet naturally arch, with the toes area slightly relaxed, but you can still tell it’s ready to support the body at any moment.

 

As Xiao Mo said, girls… uh, or I should say my feet are dainty, really resembling a cat’s paw. The skin is fair and tender, almost like jelly, giving a slightly elastic sensation when touched.

 

Due to my height, in daily life, I often have to tiptoe to reach things, like in Ai Luodi’s kitchen, where the shelves are particularly high. Even with a stool, I still need to tiptoe to reach things. It’s the same in the café, with some cat climbing frames and shelves being very high.

 

Not only do I have to tiptoe, but occasionally I need to jump to get the products on top. So, I’m very familiar with the feeling of tiptoeing.

 

Human body structure definitely isn’t suited for this way of walking, but after wearing this cat paw anklet, I find it uncomfortable to walk with my feet flat.

 

Was this the legendary magic of “cognitive change”? Then… it just changes cognition, and the body structure isn’t actually altered? Will walking like this for a day damage my feet?

 

“Don’t worry, it also changes the blood vessels, tendons, and bone structure of your feet. It’s not just as simple as changing cognition,” Xiao Mo reassured me with a smile at my concern.

 

“In the Beast people and Cat people tribes, this is basically how they train themselves. This thing is considered one of their tribe’s exclusive items, kind of like a little toy.”

 

“Why would the Cat people create such magic?”

 

I became even more curious. “Isn’t it said that creating a kind of magic is very difficult? Like that person from Mobius who created the flying magic… and was chased or something. And is this thing necessary for the Cat people over there?”

 

“It is necessary. I’ve mentioned it to you before, right? The world over there revolves around ‘people’, or more precisely, ‘elves’, because the original image of intelligent life was elves. Humans are a variant of elves, but because elves are elemental life forms and hard to imitate, coupled with the fact that humans reproduce quickly, gradually, everyone became more keen on imitating humans first, such as the Catkin transforming into human form or dragons becoming human, which makes communication easier.”

 

Xiao Mo explained, “And the transformation magic was originally developed by the foxes. When it was passed to the cats, most of them didn’t improve the magic. They just copied the magic runes, resulting in extreme discomfort after transformation, especially in the legs.”

“Human feet are like forcing them to walk on their knees for cats. So, some cats with high magic skills began to research adaptive magic. After thousands of years, this thing was created. It allows cats to adapt to human bodies and experience the structure of Catkin footsteps. It’s two-way.”

 

The crystal bed carried Xiao Mo and me rapidly thousands of meters into the sky towards the place on the map we had targeted with our flying dart.

 

Tonight’s moon was still fairly bright, with many stars drifting in the sky. Some unknown cranes and geese were frightened by the shiny object that suddenly appeared beneath us and scattered, leaving behind a few feathers.

 

From this height, we could see the city below, and there were still people who hadn’t slept at this time, wandering around outside.

 

“Such a magical magical tool…”

 

I was stunned by the novel-like scene. “Then… since there’s a tool that can change the structure of the feet, there should also be… other tools, right?”

 

“Like?”

 

Xiao Mo looked at me with a knowing expression. “Turning a man into a girl?”

 

I paused. “Is there not?”

 

“Nuo’er, you look like a little kitten who is curious about everything right now.” Xiao Mo said, sitting down on the edge of the bed. “Do you know what you look like to me?”

 

I instinctively asked, “What?”

 

“Like a little kitten who’s begging its owner to play with a toy, then happily playing with it,” Xiao Mo teased.

 

“Clearly, a toy like a cat teaser is just an ordinary item for us, and nothing special for humans, but you guys just love playing with it.”

 

“I know magic isn’t anything special for Xiao Mo,” I retorted.

“But I’m just curious! Come on, since there are cats who invented this tool because they’re not used to something, there should also be boys who want to become girls or girls who want to become boys, and through persistent efforts, they create such tools, right?”

 

“Ordinary magic has a principle, which is not to create something out of nothing, to conjure material from thin air.”

 

Seeing me pressing on, Xiao Mo had to explain seriously, “Especially when it comes to the material of the human body.”

 

“The modification of your feet by magic is because your feet still retain some bones and tendons from the evolutionary process. Just adjust these bones slightly, ensure smooth blood circulation, and adapt to this way of walking. But the physiological structures of men and women are different. Magic cannot remove so many organs from a man and then create female organs, that would violate the basic rules of magic.”

 

“Then what about this?” I pointed to the large bed beneath us. “Isn’t this a tool?”

 

“This is a magical tool.”

 

“A magical tool isn’t material?”

 

“Magical tools can only be controlled by me. Once the magical supply is lost, they will disappear. They are not suitable for stable material existence in the world.”

 

“What about me?” I pointed to myself. “Didn’t you say this body… was created?”

 

“Nuo’er itself is not a product of magic, it’s a forbidden spell.”

 

“Can forbidden spells create material out of thin air?”

 

“Forbidden spells… This thing is very complicated, and it’s not easy to explain it all at once.”

 

Perhaps annoyed by the questions, Xiao Mo stepped forward and grabbed my cheeks with her hand.

 

“Little kitty, don’t always think about such weird things. Just be cute honestly!”

 

“I… um… I already said…”

 

I felt my entire face being molded like dough as she pinched it. “Face-pinching… is prohibited.”

 

“Then how about some food?”

 

Xiao Mo let go of my face.

 

“Speaking of which, I ordered a big bag of cat treats online yesterday. You might like them, Nuo’er.”

 

“I don’t like them!”

 

I sat on the big bed with my arms crossed, resembling a sulking duck.

 

“I hate biscuits the most. They’re dry, and you need to drink a lot of water after eating them. Plus, they’re full of sugar and starch, like energy bombs. Eating too many will make you fat…”

 

“What about biscuits with catnip added?”

 

Xiao Mo rummaged through the nearby suitcase for a hundred years and said, “I deliberately chose this brand. Catnip itself is a type of mint that humans can eat. This store’s biscuits are infused with catnip. According to reviews, they taste good.”

 

“How can there be catnip biscuits for people to eat!” My worldview felt refreshed. “Can they really taste good?”

 

Xiao Mo had already taken a box of biscuits out of the bag. “Try them and you’ll know.”

 

I turned my head away. “I won’t try. I already said I don’t like biscuits.”

 

If it were Crispy Sharks, that would be another matter, but Crispy Sharks are not biscuits, they’re a special type of wafer.

 

But then again, Xiao Mo’s Mobius Circle flying spell was indeed fast. We were already out of Shenzhen City by now.

 

I gazed at the scenery below.

 

Moreover, this bed really achieved full wind resistance. At this speed, sitting inside, I didn’t feel any hurricanes…

 

“Here, Nuo’er, open your mouth.”

 

Suddenly, I heard Xiao Mo’s voice behind me.

 

“I’m throwing the biscuit to you.”

 

“What kind of strange feeding behavior is this!” I turned my head. “I won’t…”

 

The next second, a small biscuit with a cat paw pattern flew towards me, and I instinctively opened my mouth and bit down.

 

“Umm?”

 

“The taste is alright, isn’t it?”

 

Over there, Xiao Mo also put a biscuit into her mouth, then picked up another one and threw it towards me.

 

“Catch it!”

 

I had just finished eating the first biscuit, and seeing this scene, I instinctively opened my mouth and bit down on this one.

 

Wait.

 

“Stop!”

 

Then, I realized what was happening and walked over to Xiao Mo.

 

“I have hands to eat with on my own… Umm!”

 

And then I was suddenly embraced by someone.

 

“Look, what I just caught! It was easier than catching a cat in a café.”

 

With a cunning expression, Xiao Mo held me in her arms.

 

“We’re still about an hour away from our destination. How about we practice the surfing spell you just learned in the sky?”

 

I cautiously said, “You… didn’t you say surfing is better used where there’s more water element?”

 

“There might not be much water element right now, but…”

 

Xiao Mo leaned in, reaching out her hand, her delicate fingers circling around my chest.

 

“Maybe there will be more later, you know?”

 

“……”
