Chapter 1853: Chapter 875: Watch My 72 Transformations_2
Alright, then!
Yan Fei remained silent, starting to ponder what he could transform into to make the girl less afraid…
Actually, the girl was already somewhat fearful, which was evident. Though her head was under the blanket, her fingers clutching it had turned a little white from holding it too tightly — just as Yan Fei had thought, even though this easygoing girl had accepted his presence from another world, she still couldn’t quite accept the idea of someone being able to transform.
Even if she said she was ready.
“No need to count to a hundred, just start counting now, count to ten!” Yan Fei gently pinched her with the hand that was still ‘clinging’ to her, reminding her. “Get ready, start counting!”
Then, with a quick motion, he removed his clothes: “I’ve transformed, you can come out and see!”
…
The girl held the blanket even tighter, like she was dragging a thousand-catty weight despite it being quite light. Carefully, very carefully, she slid the blanket open just a tiny crack, bit by bit, little by little.
Then, even more cautiously, she peered through the crack towards the outside.
Nothing?
She was about to muster the courage to widen the crack and look elsewhere when she saw a blue butterfly gracefully dancing in front of her under the dim light…
A very pretty butterfly.
The blue color on its body wasn’t consistent, but instead expanded from the center of each wing from light blue to deep blue outward. It looked beautiful and carried a dreamlike hue.
Whether it was the light blue or the deep blue of its body, both made one imagine a sky free of clouds, or an endless ocean.
It was a pure, almost enchanting blue, definitely not something humans could easily achieve. It was the breathtaking art of nature that had created such beauty.
Very beautiful, and most importantly, somewhat familiar.
Seeing just a small butterfly, the girl braved herself and asked in a small voice, “Yan Xiaofei, is this your transformation?”
The butterfly flew up and down twice vigorously, as if nodding.
“Hehe, it’s really beautiful.” The butterfly’s actions seemed amusing, making the girl’s courage grow. “Fly a figure-eight dance for me?”
The butterfly immediately began flying, twisting in a circle, and flew an ‘8’ shape.
“So fun…” The girl laughed again, this time with even more boldness, she simply stretched her hand out. “Come, land on my hand.”
The butterfly floated gracefully, gently landing on her finger, its wings trembling slightly with a kind of breathtaking beauty.
This scene seemed familiar… Watching the butterfly’s wings gently tremble, along with the extreme beauty of this blue color, that familiar feeling returned.
It seemed, long ago… Back when she first entered college, there was a time outside the classroom when many students saw a particularly beautiful and unique butterfly…
Then, Yan Xiaofei boasted. It turned out he wasn’t boasting, because early in the morning while she was still asleep, it was this very butterfly that secretly flew into her mosquito net…
“Yan Xiaofei, transform back!” the girl suddenly shouted.
The butterfly suddenly flew up, then to the side, and in the next moment an unclothed figure appeared on the bed, quickly pulling the blanket to cover critical parts.
With a confused look, Yan Fei was still asking, “What happened, what happened?”
“Nothing!” Xu Xiaoyan said coldly. “Have you been able to transform into this butterfly for a long time? Did you fly around our school back when I first arrived?”
“Yes!” Yan Fei nodded, still feeling puzzled. “It’s because you’ve seen it before that I transformed into it, aren’t you not scared?”
“Scared of you!” The girl grabbed a pillow and swung it at him. “Yan Xiaofei, you perverted rogue, did you secretly transform into a butterfly to spy on me in my bed?”
“Ah…” Yan Fei was hit, feeling a bit dizzy: shouldn’t you be amazed that I can perform the Seventy-two changes?
The next moment, he was no longer surprised, as he heard the girl continue to interrogate: “Tell me, what else can you transform into? Have you been secretly spying on me before? Have you? Have you?”
“No, I haven’t!” Yan Fei cried for innocence, clutching his head — though it didn’t hurt, he had to make a pretense to satisfy the girl’s ‘violent’ tendencies, or she might interrogate him till dawn.
It was really quite unfair, though Yan Fei had transformed to watch her, it was after they started living together. Before that, aside from transforming into a butterfly, he hadn’t done much; he felt he hadn’t done anything voyeuristic — moreover back then he hadn’t ‘grown wise’, even if it was ‘spying’, it was merely because he missed her, definitely not out of ‘wicked thoughts’.
Finding himself such reasons, he shouted more confidently: “Think about it, aside from a butterfly, have you seen anything else?”
“I’ve seen quite a lot!” The girl paused her pillow attacks and began listing what she’d seen. “Can you turn into a fly or mosquito? Can you turn into an ant or little insect? Can you turn into a bird in the trees?”
These were common sights, and now the girl’s suspicion arose, likely associating anything from her past memories with Yan Fei.
Yan Fei was truly aggrieved, racking his brain for excuses: “What I evolve into is different from the common flies, mosquitos, ants, and little insects we see. If I had transformed into something to spy on you, you’d recognize it at a glance, wouldn’t you?”
Who could recognize the differences among countless small insects? Apart from biologists, no one has that ability.
However, the girl could believe him, partly because Yan Fei proclaimed it so upfrontly, as if he were truly wronged; and partly because, besides children, few would study common small insects — back then, even in cities, moths and insects like mole crickets were frequent sights, not really uncommon.
Precisely because of their abundance, the girl rarely got worked up over insects, and would just let them fly away if they were agreeable to her, or kill them if they weren’t — a very usual reaction — letting those, like some celebrities living in a vacuum, who screamed at insects and shivered ‘in fear’, to raise a child impossible to survive.
Feeling that the girl had stopped, Yan Fei poked his head out and once more assured with confidence: “I’ve really never spied on you; back then I was still young, I didn’t even understand ‘spying’! Once I understood, we aren’t just… hehe…”
“You’re still laughing!” The girl began hitting him with the pillow again.
After a moment of chaos, the girl finally let him go and thought for a while before saying: “What do you usually transform into? Give me another change!”
This is treating Yan Xiaofei like a magician!
“Also a little blackbird!” Yan Fei replied honestly. “I transform into this when traveling.”
“Then transform!” The girl closed her eyes again. “Call me once you’ve changed.”
“Chirp chirp…” As soon as the words fell, she heard a few bird calls.
This time the girl braved herself and opened her eyes, seeing a little blackbird on its feet, jumping up and down as if to show off in front of her.
What did it look like?
Just by size, it looked somewhat like a magpie dove, and its feathers were pitch black as a crow’s, inconspicuous in the dim light at first glance, but upon closer look, its feathers seemed to reflect light. Its small beak and paws looked rather sharp and somewhat mighty.
Actually it was quite familiar, as Yan Fei had transformed into it too many times and often landed in Xu Xiaoyan’s family’s yard. Sometimes Old Xu, upon seeing it, thought it was a crow and deemed it unlucky…
“You still say you didn’t spy? I’ve seen you several times in our yard!” Upon thinking that she’d often seen it, the girl wondered if this guy secretly spied on her frequently.
“It wasn’t spying…” Yan Fei hurriedly transformed back and explained just after saying a sentence. “It wasn’t spying, I missed you and went to see you! I couldn’t bear being away from you, it’s because you weren’t by my side that I turned into this to see you.”
A sentence not really meant as a love confession instantly halted the girl’s hand that was lifting the pillow.
Then slowly lowering it, she gave him an arrogant smile: “Hmph, then you’re forgiven! What else can you transform into?”
“I can also turn into a Pterosaur, do you want me to take you flying?” Yan Fei thought for a moment and said.
Having already shown her transformation abilities, he might as well take her around to experience the feeling of flying freely!
All in all, the purpose was to gradually make the girl accustomed to him being somewhat like a monster…
