CHAPTER 256: PREPARING FOR THE BATTLE

I listened to the explanation, but couldn’t accept it. Surely, there should have been other ways other than splicing Liang Mei’s DNA with some strange humanoid space rabbit.

"Hmmm, but why?"

[The only item able to heal her heart defect was this serum—other methods existed but carried a chance of failure]

"Didn’t this one?"

[The only danger was a low chance of her becoming a Mutant, with her human DNA being changed, resulting in her having rabbit features like the girls in your doujin collection]

"I see... don’t spill someone’s secret hiding spots like that, Sister."

[The increase in Agility and her Strength are primarily in her lower body, the R-Type specialises in kicks, running, jumping and sex]

"...one of those is not like the other, Sister."

[I am just quoting the facts of the ten million males who have written a review about the R-Type Serum. Almost all five stars mentioned virtually dying after being wrung dry by their partner’s new skills in bed.]

"Well..."

My lips distorted into a smile that I couldn’t control.

It isn’t good...

I want to try it!

No, no... let’s focus on the task at hand.

It didn’t take long for Liang Mei to finish cleansing herself as the sound of water draining echoed through the large room. Click! The door opened, and she stepped into the room, wrapped in a fluffy white towel and dripping with water.

The moment she entered my view, I could only hold my breath and watch. Fluffy pink hair like cotton candy wrapped around her neck, vibrant neon green eyes darting around the room as if unfamiliar with the surroundings.

Her height was still shorter than average, but thanks to the growth of her legs, she looked different. Thick muscular thighs with smooth fair skin and tight calves, along with the new abs visible through the towel...

The soft sheep looked different, her muscles refined, and her aura much stronger.

"How do you feel?" I asked, trying to use the chance to clear my throat.

In response, Liang Mei started bouncing on the spot, her thighs bulging each time her buttocks hit her heels... the muscles both supple and strong.

"It’s strange... I haven’t felt this good in years!"

She shot up from the ground, and her breasts almost bounced free from the towel. She reached up and touched the ceiling... before landing back on the ground.

"What is going on with me?!" She screamed with enthusiasm.

Her body seemed beyond healthy, the spring in her step quite impressive.

"Well, you should probably get dressed and start using the body suit... otherwise those things might bruise you." I couldn’t help but mimic the complaints of Jiang Roulan and Mu Qinglan, who complained about their chests becoming sore after intense combat or training.

Liang Mei nodded while following my instruction, she dropped her towel, and rushed into the bathroom, the sight of her bare back and curves quite mesmerising. Her legs weren’t the only thing that became muscular, as the muscles along her spine formed a fine path leading to her round hips and thick buttocks.

She’s too sexy!

I mean... she’s changed for the better.

***

Ten minutes later, we stood in the training gym of the Jiang family, a place where only the highest-ranking members trained together. Everyone was busy because of the situation when I came inside with Liang Mei, who wore the black ECS05 bodysuit with a pink trim.

"The material stretches and shrinks based on your body’s shape and size. It’s perfect for any sort of intense movements, even if you suddenly gained in height or weight, it would remain tight and unbroken."

She looked at the mirror as she rolled her shoulders, the suit hugging her body perfectly, and enhancing her figure to the limit as she pushed out her hips, and began to squeal. "It’s so cool! I feel like a superhero!" Liang Mei laughed and started bouncing on the spot... her simple movements allow her to leave the ground with at least 20cm distance.

How far will she leap when jumping?

I could only smile wryly.

The personality change was subtle but something I expected... though the extent was beyond what I hoped for.

"Come here, let’s pick a weapon or method of combat that suits you, Mei Mei."

"A-Ah... of course."

Though sometimes she reverted to the shy and lovely sheep, the movements of her body remained refined and sensual... I considered buying a cape or clothes to wear over her bodysuit.

It’s sad, but I felt jealous letting other men see her current figure...

Not that I we were anything more than a leader and his subject for now, but those feelings weren’t something I could control... I stood on the mats and waited for her to stand opposite me.

"Mei Mei, how are you feeling?"

She looked up at me and gave a slight nod.

"Not using a weapon?"

"I wanted to see how well I could move without using a bow, since my legs feel so strong!"

"Alright, shall we?" I’d already bought her a basic martial arts skill and self-defence, which boosted her Strength, Endurance and Agility even more. I’m also buying the same for me to test the difference.

When I considered her affection that reached a strange level, I wondered if it might be a complete error because she didn’t show any signs of clinginess or obsession that the others showed once we reached that level. "Well, she is a little different from them." A faint whisper escaped my lips and vanished into thin air.

She didn’t hear it.

With a deep breath, I calmed myself down and prepared for battle. She was stronger now, much more so than before, but she lacked combat experience.

"Come at me when you are ready."

I focused on her body as she lowered her hips, the faint twitches in her muscles, and concentrated on when she might attack. Her breathing grew calm as she closed her eyes, and then her body exploded with a green glow.

A squall formed beneath her feet as she kicked the ground with all her strength... only to launch herself into the air like a rocket, soaring over my head and landing on one of the training beams above me.

Her speed...

It took her less than a second to do that!?

Barely able to follow her with my eyes, the fragrant citrus breeze followed her movements.

The System didn’t lie, nor did I believe it would... but she’s that much faster than me?

That thought filled me with anger, but also fear and joy.

Is this what you get for buying an expensive Serum?

Temptation to buy one for myself increased, maybe a W-Type or something... my thoughts drifted as she bounced between the support and ceiling beams, squealing and giggling.

"I’m like a superhero~! A superhero~! Ahahaha!"

She’s super, Mei Mei...

I can barely see your movements.

"Mei, how about we try a sparring session?"

"Huh? Ah... sorry I forgot~ it was shocking that I flew so high!"

Her cute atmosphere remained as she landed beside me with a soft thud, her chest jiggling in the latex suit.

"Let’s fight, sorry!"

"No problem..." I tried to calm my breathing, focus and prepare myself.

Woosh!

Her hips spun in a full circle and kicked out at me, her foot appearing beside my face the moment I blinked. The wind from her blow deafened my ear, and cut my cheek with the immense pressure.

"Hah!"

I grabbed her ankle with one hand and pulled on it to avoid the powerful strength she used to throw herself backwards.

She kicked her with her other leg, the back of her heel smashing against my palm and releasing another gust of wind that cut my skin. Pah! Pah! Pah! Her feet kicked at me as I parried the blows before she flung back in a somersault.

Without giving her a chance to recover, I rushed forward with a flurry of punches.

She raised her hands and blocked them with difficulty, but I wasn’t aiming to strike her with my fists. I dove through her guard the moment she lifted her leg to kick me, and I gripped her waist.

"W-Whoa!"

I wrapped around her waist and fastened my hands in place, lifting her off the ground before slamming her back into the mat with all my strength.

Thud!

A loud thud echoed through the training area and caused the whole place to shake violently.

Fortunately, this was a bunker underneath the main mansion.

The strength of the blow might have damaged the training room; her waist folded over, her legs flopped over, touching the ground with her buttocks in the air.

"Phew... be careful of sudden attac—!?"

Liang Mei’s legs shot towards me at high speed, like a vice, they locked around my neck, as she raised her torso and pulled her hips back off the mat and took my back, her body clinging to me with a strange amount of strength... a powerful sensation as she clung to my body. Her thigh crushed my neck while her breasts weighed down on the top of my head.

She was strong... too strong...

"Ugh!"

I tried to break free, but her legs were too strong and her thighs squeezed tighter. The muscles in her calves and legs wrapped around my neck while she continued to apply pressure like a snake suffocating its prey.

So I did all I could, and used my strength to shift her in front of me, both hands cupping her ass, before I slammed her down with a powerbomb.

Smack!

Her thick buttocks bounced on the mat, squishing against the soft surface.

"Ahh!"

Her cry was sweet, while her green eyes flicked to look at me. "S-So strong..."

"You too..." I grumbled while pressing my hips against hers, stopping her legs from moving with both hands... but the moment she wanted, I would crumble in seconds. "Your legs are amazing now."

"Ehehe~ really?"

The cute laugh escaped her lips as she lay back, her legs slowly cycling in the air, despite my trying to hold them in place.

After that, we fought for an hour.

Using my experience and skill, I managed to win ten times.

Mei Mei won twice.

In the end, she decided that using a shortbow and her new speed and leg strength would be the best. I agreed and also suggested she try using a rapid-fire crossbow as her secondary choice.
