Hearing it was left for her to eat, Moli’s eyes slightly lit up, and her face turned a faint red as she put the money away.
She looked at Fisher with considerable gratitude, making him wonder if she was about to pray to him the next second,
"Thank you for giving me food..."
"...No worries. By the way, may I take a look at your tail? I’ve been interested for a while."
Moli’s action of preparing to eat the cake paused slightly, and she turned her head to see Fisher had already brought over a small tub of water, anticipating that he’d need her to revert to her original form for studying her biological traits, so he had prepared the water beforehand.
Moli, dazzled by the cake, felt conflicted only when Fisher wanted to study her tail.
But after hesitating for a long time, she couldn’t refuse the food in front of her, and besides... Mr. Fischer wouldn’t do anything strange to her right?
Thus, Moli blushed and nodded her head, making a curious prayer gesture with her hands as it was necessary first to thank the source of life, Lord Ramasitia, before starting to eat. Then she eagerly began tasting the cake.
She savored the creamy sweetness, unconsciously a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.
By the time her body slowly transformed into that of a Whale-man, Fischer discovered her teeth were sharp, quite resembling that of a saber-tooth.
Moli mentioned that this was her teeth in their reduced form. If she needed to eat bones or other meat, she would need to fully extend her teeth to eat properly.
Since she had come to human society, where all food was cooked, she no longer needed to use all her teeth to eat, so it had been a long time since she last extended them.
Fischer asked her to demonstrate, only to find there was no significant change; it was just that the teeth became slightly longer, like slightly longer saber-teeth, without a ferocious feeling, but instead, they made Moli look even cuter, with a sort of ferocious yet adorable illusion.
She sat in front of the couch, her tail about two-thirds as long as the sofa. When standing normally, her whale tail would drag on the ground. In the sea, it served as her main organ for moving, so it was very strong.
Fischer tried touching it and found her tail muscles were well-developed and highly efficient. From the outside, it didn’t look bloated at all but actually complemented her beautiful appearance rather well.
Fischer briefly imagined her swimming freely on the sea floor and felt that would be her most beautiful moment.
Feeling Fischer’s fingers on her tail, Moli’s ears fluttered slightly, and she turned her blushing face to look at the focused Fisher; even her cake chewing slowed.
"By the way, I heard from Lingna that you, the royal family, have something called the ’Companion Sea Beast,’ right?"
After hearing this, Moli nodded, biting the fork that came with the cake box, and said unclearly as she recalled,
"Lord Ramasitia said that we Whale-people are very special creatures, always born with nature’s ’Blessing’..."
"Yes, the effects of the Blessing are numerous and very useful for our daily lives. This blessing also possesses completely opposite properties, like how I... I can grant life energy to others..."
As she spoke, Moli stretched out her hand, and the water in her eyes seemed activated, radiating a pale blue light as though some invisible energy was flowing from her hand,
"But at the same time, I can also strip life energy from other things..."
After these words, her gaze shifted from blue to black, and her expression gradually became dangerous. The softness in front of her chest gradually shrank, and in Fisher’s hands, her tail gradually turned from soft to as hard as steel.
On her hand, the originally granted vitality suddenly reversed, turning into an extremely dangerous corrupt power, as if something was stripping everything in this world,
But this state lasted only for a second before it disappeared, and she took a long breath, as if that force had brought her a severe burden.
But because it lasted for a very short time, she quickly reverted to her former appearance, and smilingly turned back to say,
"The opposite blessings cannot be used at will; they disrupt the balance of life and lead us toward destruction, so we must maintain the balance of life at all times."
"The most important quality of life is balance, but the curses within us are far heavier than the blessings. Therefore, whenever a Whale-man is born, the Sea Trench produces a ’Companion Sea Beast,’ each corresponding to the dark side of each Whale-man. The stronger the curse, the stronger the ’Companion Sea Beast’ needed to balance it."
Her eyes, that hint of subtle black slowly receded back into her eyes, as if it had never existed in this world. In Fisher’s hands, her tail gradually became soft again, carrying a faint floral scent.
"So that’s how it is..."
Fisher was deep in thought, while Moli took the opportunity to turn back, abandoning the spoon and stealthily swallowed an entire piece of cake, then delightfully rubbed her chin with her hand, a look of enjoyment on her face.
Ahh, human food, so delicious...
