Chapter 254: Liang Mei's Awakening
The room became quiet after Mei's outburst. She looked up at me in shock with her big eyes wide open, and her lips parted. "Really... you really found it?" I could feel the beat of her heart racing faster through her hands.
Ba-Dum
Ba-Dum
Her cheeks became pink as she gripped my hands tighter.
"The cure will last forever, but I don't know what kind of affect it might have on your body."
Although I trusted the System completely, the items sometimes carried strange effects or changes when used. I knew this fact best thanks to my cultivation technique. My Primordial Tyrant's Body Scripture dramatically increased my libido and bloodlust with each stage.
Though the benefits it brought overwhelmed that minor issue.
"I don't care!"
Her small voice boomed enough to fill the room as she pushed out her chest.
"I don't care, if I can fight and stay beside you, Leader. Then I will do anything!"
Her words made me feel a little guilty.
I didn't deserve her loyalty or such deep affection. My offer must have swayed the sick Liang too much and affected her feelings. But she was precious to me. I wanted to keep her close to me, out of my selfish and underhanded desires.
I planned everything to get her.
She watched me for a few seconds before climbing off the bed and unfastening her clothes... and pulling down her shorts, revealing her soft, bouncy hips, the fair skin like winter's snow.
"Mei, wait... you don't have to do that."
"B-but I thought you needed to..." Her eyes shimmered as she looked at me and tilted her head, asking with a moody tone. "I thought you were going to inject me with the medicine..."
"Oh, no. This medicine..."
My eyes lowered to the smooth and supple curves of her body, and the soft, pink flesh that peeked from between her thighs.
"... needs to be injected, elsewhere."
"Ah... I see."
She paused for a moment while looking back at me, her cheeks red and her eyes lowered in shame.
Yet why does her voice sound disappointed?
Liang Mei sat at the edge of her bed, her clothes still on the floor.
She fluttered her eyes and gazed back at me with half-lidded eyes, "check," her soft tone whispered, "please check first."
I didn't mind, so I pulled the syringe from my inventory. A small instruction booklet came with the Serum.
The Type-R Genetic Rewrite Serum seemed to be something from another world. At least it wasn't the technology of this one, various chemicals that I hadn't heard of listed in the ingredients.
"H-How is it?" She asked.
"Well, the booklet said it could be injected anywhere... but the subject needs to be naked and ideally in a place that can get dirty."
Despite the detailed instructions, it only mentioned that once injected, the subject would endure a period of immense pain... and then.
I looked up from the booklet with a bitter smile. Рubliсаtiоn соurtеsy оf М|V|LЕ-МРYR.
"So you can inject it anywhere, I see..." her voice like a mosquito as she started to unfasten her frilly top. "Then... please inject me in the usual spot... and... and carry me to the bathroom!" Her eyes closed tight, a look like a frightened squirrel facing a fox. "I don't want my sheets to be ruined..."
I could only sigh.
The Serum was clear, with a slight tint of purple and a strange shimmering glow. It looked like a liquid crystal, a beautiful substance. "Are you sure you're okay with this?" I asked while hooking her legs and armpit with my arms. Her body felt hot, and her face turned pink. "Y-yes... I am sure, Leader." Her voice was soft, and she trembled a little.
"Alright, then we're heading to the bathroom." I lifted her, her soft body and warm flesh pressed against my own.
Her changes since we first met were quite significant, even though I looked down at her, a petite but curvaceous woman, her soft, puffy nipples and faint pink skin made her look like an angel.
"Leader..."
Her soft, warm voice called out to me as she leaned her head against my shoulder. "I will be strong, so you must be strong too."
I couldn't help but smile.
"Call me John. I will help you become strong, and healthy enough you don't need to worry anymore."
Once we stepped into the bathroom, I hooked the door with my leg and closed it with a click before lowering her into the large, two-person bath. "Is it cold?" I asked, but Liang Mei shook her head. "It's fine, I'm ready."
I locked the door to avoid an awkward situation later.
"Okay... then I'm injecting it now."
She lay on her stomach, her breasts like crushed marshmallows against the cold bath, while her buttocks lifted off the ground, wobbling with a faint sway, as she pushed them towards me.
Has her ass grown bigger?
The thought passed through my mind as it jiggled more than usual.
It must have been embarrassing for Liang Mei... yet she even used her hands to part her cheeks with a sticky sound, her petals spread, and gave me a direct view of Liang Mei's everything.
"..."
My heart began to race as my breathing shortened. Focus!
"John...? Aghh!"
The long syringe pierced her soft flesh, sinking slowly, as her hips shook and body trembled. The purple liquid flowed into her body, the strange substance that seemed to glow in the dim bathroom light, the only illumination being a single candle that flickered in a glass jar.
"Oww... it hurts..." She bit her lip, and her eyes narrowed. "It's fine... I'm fine."
Her soft voice twisted and distorted as her body continued shaking, but I didn't stop; instead, I pushed harder until the liquid flowed into her body.
After it ended, I pulled the needle free, and a small bead of blood dripped onto her buttocks and trailed along the curve of her body, leaving a red line.
"John... I feel hot..."
She turned her body around and looked at me, her face red and her eyes half-lidded.
At first, I thought it would be fine, like the other medicine, but suddenly her chest thrust out, her breasts bouncing as dark, purple veins appeared one by one under their skin, pulsing and throbbing as she cried out. "Agh! Ahhhh! John! It hurts!"
The veins spread from her chest, across her neck, face, arms and thighs.
"Shit..."
I couldn't do anything, and so I held her tight, wrapping my arms around her and stroking her back, but the heat coming from her body grew and grew until I could see the steam rising from her body.
"Ahhhhh!"
Liang Mei's scream echoed through the room, and the veins pulsed, throbbing faster and faster, her body shaking and convulsing as if in pain, her eyes rolled backwards, before they turned pitch black with a flicker of purple. Her hair began to fall in clumps as her heart thumped against her ribs, loud enough to hear in the room.
"Fuck..."
I could feel her body changing, the veins on her skin pulsing and throbbing, as her muscles spasmed. She was in agony, her body was changing, and I could only hold her, unable to help in any way.
Crack!
Her hips cracked, spine twisted, and her body began to grow, her bones breaking, her skin stretching, and her flesh expanding, her body becoming larger, stronger, more defined, and more muscular.
She was no longer weak, but a powerful, beautiful woman, before she shrank... her throat bulged, her chest tightened, and her legs shrank, her body becoming more petite and delicate. Liang Mei's skin became soft and smooth, her breasts swelling and her body becoming curvier, shorter and increasingly feminine.
The most significant change came from below her waist.
Wide meaty hips, a thin waist, muscular thighs and calves, with long feet with soft padding.
Blood and vomit dripped from her chin and my arms, likely down my back... as I flipped on the cold tap to drain the sludge in the bottom of the basin.
Let's add some bath salts and a bath bomb with citrus scents...
When I first gained the System, I spent a few points buying simple hygiene products, and these bath bombs removed all germs, bacteria and dirt according to their System message.
[Galactical Lemon Bath Bomb - Eradicate all dirt, bacteria and grime!]
The water sizzled and slowly turned yellow and bubbled, while Liang Mei continued to spasm and shake, her body changing, growing and shrinking.
Each time she went through a cycle of growth and shrinkage, her muscles became tighter, firmer. The hands gripping my back, soft at first, now caused a dull ache.
"Mei... Mei, it's okay. I'm here, you'll be okay."
Her lips moved, but only hot air blew against my cheek as she leaned on me, the warm droplets of her tears flooding my shoulder.
"It hurts..." I could read her lips... she kept calling my name and asking for help.
"I'm sorry Mei... I'm so sorry." I stroked her back and held her close, my heart aching as I watched her suffer. "It will be over soon."
A small pattern formed on her buttocks, four sakura petals forming a circle.
Each time she endured a cycle of transformation, one appeared... with space for one more.
This cycle would be the last.
However, the moment I thought this...
She vomited a thick stream of black bile and a dark, viscous fluid and had a seizure.
