You are not monster girls!

Chapter 156: More Refined Than the Holy Grail (4k, Part 2 & 1)

The daily routine at home didn't change drastically just because there were two more people; everything remained the same.

After the video's theme and design were finalized, everyone except Xia Li, who was still in the hell of writing and revising the script, continued their work as usual.

Yun Yifei and Qingyi would go to work during the day and check on Lin Muran and the others' work status when they returned in the afternoon, using it as a reference for the production company to provide optimization suggestions and inspiration.

In order to come up with a better copywriting script, Xia Li locked herself in Yun Yifei's room with Yun Yifei's permission, and relied on milk chocolate for breakfast and lunch.

During the free time that Xia Li was locked in the dark room, Bai Mengqing made further improvements to the character's costume design.

When designing characters, ordinary illustrators usually find a lot of reference images, then select the ones that look good to them, place them next to the drawing software, draw a rough sketch, and see how it looks. Then they repeatedly revise and delete the images based on the character's personality and story.

However, as a traditionalist, Bai Mengqing's painting process involves an extra step compared to professional painters, in addition to being done on paper—a model fitting.

As a painting creation that inherited Bai Mengqing's abilities, Eel Wave can serve as a model to a certain extent, providing her with a more intuitive feel. It can also freely change its style, saving a lot of unnecessary operations in the painting process.

"You traitor, you've finally woken up after sleeping for two days."

Bai Mengqing dripped nearly 300 milliliters of ink into the stove, and only then did the eel inside squint its eyes and open and close its mouth, sticking out its eel head, seemingly having just woken up.

She grabbed Eel Wave's neck like a hand gripper and asked, "What happened with the tissue the day before yesterday?!"

If Yun Yifei hadn't also had her own shameful secrets, and if both sides hadn't tacitly agreed to keep quiet about it, Lin Mu would have already hung her horn on the wall as a trumpet.

cluck cluck~
"What do you mean you don't want to eat used paper balls? You used to eat leftovers."

Ling Gu Gan Gu Li Gu Li Ga Ga Gu~
After breaking free from Bai Mengqing's restraints, Eel Wave transformed into a puddle of water and reformed its body below, its newly grown bluish-gray transparent ear feathers trembling.

"Times have changed. You must eat cat food, not junk food. The life of a painter or creator is also a life."

Bai Mengqing frowned and repeated Manbo's words, but quickly realized something was wrong: "You're not Xia Li, why are you eating cat food? Never mind, I'll conjure up a Selene first, I need to draw."

She didn't have X-ray vision, and whenever she met Sally, she always felt that there was something else hidden under Sally's long, wide pajamas.

This is also why Bai Mengqing didn't look for Xia Li this time; the difference between two short people might be greater than the difference between a person and a pig.

Manbo~
"Fine, we'll strike if we don't get paid, fine."

Bai Mengqing got up and rummaged through her cabinet, pulling out a red box with a skull and crossbones logo. She opened the foil and stuffed five black cylinders into Manbo's mouth: "These are my treasured spicy strips, you can have them all."

Ga~
The eel's blue eyes narrowed into slits, and its body gradually turned red as it trembled as if it was holding back its urine. After a while, it sprayed out a large cloud of ink from below its ear feathers before finally taking shape.

It quickly turned into a green Selly, much like the Ultra Brothers who had been petrified by Yapool.

The area below its eyes is much darker, which should be a reproduction of the black smoke.

The wisp of ink transformed into several pictures that Bai Mengqing had selected beforehand, which hung beside it.

When I met Sally before, she was either hanging or sitting with her back hunched over, and her clothes were always open at the chest, so I couldn't tell her figure at all.

Now we've finally seen the true face of Mount Lu.

"It's definitely meatier than Xia Li's."

Bai Mengqing leaned closer to carefully observe the tilt angle of the pajamas' support points, and then used a small notebook to draw red circles around the parts of the original clothing design that needed to be changed.

She knelt down and lifted Sally's skirt, then looked up at her with some confusion and asked, "Why aren't you wearing any underwear?"

Gugugugu~
"How did you know you weren't wearing anything?"

Gurgle~
"I saw it while sitting on the rocking horse, and oh, the reaction was exactly the same as in the game."

Bai Mengqing was overjoyed: "As expected of my creation, such a small brain core can remember so much."

Aren't so many people dressed like this ashamed?

Or is it because it's really comfortable to wear this?
Try it when there's no one around.
Even though it was her first time there, Lin Muran found her a pair of underwear with a vent. Bai Mengqing had never seen Sally dressed like this before, and she immediately became interested.

Eel Wave: ? ? ?
Gurgle!!

Sally, who had transformed from Eel Wave, shuddered and looked down to find her master climbing the bare hill with an inquisitive gaze.

"This level of precision is even higher than the Holy Grail."

Gu~ Aww~
"Hey, can I borrow your Dragon Eel Wave?"

Just then, the door, which had been half-open, was pushed open, and Lin Muran came in while talking. Then she saw Bai Mengqing squatting in front of the fake Sally, reaching out with her claws.

"what?"

Lin Muran gave Bai Mengqing a meaningful look before silently closing the door.

"It's not what you think!!"

"So you really did it for the sake of drawing?"

"Of course! Am I that kind of dragon?"

Bai Mengqing's delicate face flushed red, but in order to appear not embarrassed, she did not immediately pull her hand back.

It's like your clothes suddenly slipping down while you're dancing. If you keep dancing and bear it, it'll pass. But if you stop, it'll be really embarrassing.

"Yes."

"certainly not!"

Bai Mengqing retorted, "I was just seeing the eel wave suddenly change, and I was specifically testing to see exactly where the change was. Look."

As she spoke, her fingertips began to move again, causing the eel to squeal and squeal.

It was supposed to be a very perverted scene, but watching Sally make those squeaking noises, Lin Muran couldn't help but feel a strange sense of amusement.

You said there were changes in Manbo's body.

He looked the fake Sally up and down and found that apart from the wrong color, the details of its appearance were basically perfectly reproduced.

Previous eel waves couldn't achieve this level of precision.

"And her language skills have also improved."

man~
The sudden attack by Bai Mengqing caused Eel Wave to make a sound like a helicopter crashing.

"Is that a parrot?" Lin Muran wiped his sweat and glanced at Eel Wave, whose eyes were already squinting.

Could it be because of consuming that aggregate of souls?
If Bai Mengqing continues to channel spiritual energy into it, or if Lao Siming's method actually works later, won't this thing evolve into Godzilla?
She said she wanted cat food, not mealworms.

"She's not Xia Li, why would she eat cat food?"

Manbo!!
The variety of calls has increased, so it seems they have indeed evolved.

Lin Muran wasn't worried that Manbo would become aggressive after evolving, since its owner was like that, and Manbo probably wouldn't be much better.

"Let's put that aside for now, can I borrow Manbo for a bit?"

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Muran said helplessly, "Of course, we should clean the toilet." With so many girls in the house, if each of them spills a little, it will cause a big problem if the bathroom drain gets clogged if it's not cleaned in time.

Just then, Yun Yifei and Qingyi returned together to prepare for a shower. He thought he should use the Eel Wave to refresh the cleanliness of the bathroom first, so that he wouldn't have to clean the bathroom again before taking a shower.

Cluck cluck cluck!

"I don't want to eat hair."

After Lin Muran finished explaining, he sighed and tapped the fake Selene's head: "Eelbo, young creations need to have a broad perspective, you know? If you don't help me eat hair, who will buy you cat food when I'm exhausted from cleaning the toilet?"

Gaa.
"What do you mean, 'Can't she take her hand out first?'"

Lin Muran lowered her gaze and realized that Bai Mengqing was still squatting there, and hadn't even changed the way she was reaching out her hand.

"Didn't you already finish the checkup?"

Bai Mengqing stammered, "Uh, I'm that... something."

"Bai Mengqing, may I borrow your conditioner for a moment?"

"what?"

Yun Yifei followed the sound of Manbo to the door, saw Bai Mengqing's outstretched hand, glanced at Lin Muran beside her, and silently retreated, closing the door behind her.

"Sis, it's not what you think!!"

"What's that like?"

Yun Yifei, who had finally been persuaded to come back, looked at Manbo and Bai Mengqing, who had already turned back into their wriggling eel forms, with some disdain.

"This is also a spirit beast, but why does it look different from the others?"

The existence of Bai Mengqing and the others was already beyond Yun Yifei's comprehension, so the appearance of another strange thing didn't bother her much.

Besides, this thing isn't a woman; it looks quite similar to a water droplet pet from a certain browser game.

"This is Eel Wave, a creation of Bai Mengqing's painting, not a spirit beast."

Lin Muran then explained the origin and function of Eel Wave to Yun Yifei again. During this time, she saw that Bai Mengqing and Eel Wave were listening intently, and she involuntarily straightened her back.

"Is painting such a creation really that intelligent?" Yun Yifei exclaimed as she looked at the constantly swaying eel wave, and even wanted to reach out and touch it.

"That's right, don't you even know who gave birth to her?"

After saying that, she secretly nudged the stove twice with her tail.

Is this dragon out of its mind?
Manbo glanced at Bai Mengqing speechlessly, then immediately put on a fierce look and breathed on Yun Yifei, who had already put her hand to her face.

ha~
Startled, Yun Yifei immediately withdrew her hand.

Bai Mengqing practically had the word "smug" written all over her face: "Even if you are Lin Muran's sister, you still have to be careful. Manbo's desire to attack mortal women is extremely strong."

Hiss~ Ha!
Eel Wave slowly drooped its ear feathers, rounded its head, and continued to breathe on Yun Yifei.

Bang!

"Alas!"

Before Eel Wave could even finish exhaling, he was squeezed into a puddle of ink, splattering everywhere. Bai Mengqing instinctively raised her foot to dodge, and even Lin Muran was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't even dare to grab the eel wave directly, but Yun Yifei just crushed it like that.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a female demon.

It's too cruel.

"Can't you even squeeze it?" Yun Yifei looked at her palm, which still had ink residue, and squeezed it.

"How dare you pinch it like that?!" Bai Mengqing questioned the other party.

"You just touched it with your hand too, and what's there to be afraid of with Lin Muran right next to me?"

"Why don't you show some fear?!" Bai Mengqing retorted.

meow~
Once Eel Wave had reformed its body, it immediately retreated back into the furnace upon seeing Yun Yifei, mimicking a cat's meow with a cybernetic tone.

Yun gently rubbed the eel's head with her fingertips. After the eel got used to it, she slowly lured it upwards before stroking its head with her entire palm: "That's right, that's what a luxury pet should be like."

"How could you give in? You are a creation of the dragon, a being of a higher rank than this annoying person!!"

Meow meow~
"Rare indeed! A beast! Traitor!" Bai Mengqing stomped her foot in anger. "I really don't know who you learned that from!!"

She didn't expect that her sister Lin Muran was also an expert on eels, and that she could tame the eel wave in no time.

Even Lin Muran, who was standing next to him, was a little confused. He had written about how to deal with tentacles in his special feature, but that was written a long time ago. How did Yun Yifei know about it?

I have a feeling there's something wrong with this.

She glanced at Bai Mengqing, continued stroking Manbo, and inadvertently let out a smug hum.

After successfully borrowing Eel Wave, Lin Muran had it transform into a floor scrubber and thoroughly clean the bathroom. Once she confirmed that it wouldn't clog, she let them decide who would shower first.

Each girl takes at least forty minutes to shower, especially since Qingyi also helps Xiali shower, which may take even longer.

Waiting to take a shower is a very frustrating process, much like taking the subway, which seems like a lot of time, but most of it is fragmented.

Moreover, you might encounter a clogged drain while washing.

After all, spirit beasts might lose more than just hair; they could also lose sideburns or scales. Qingyi is even more extreme; the probability of her losing hair after a bath is about the same as a chicken slaughter scene.

After a long argument, the spirit beasts were forced to decide that Yun Yifei, being human, would wash first, Bai Mengqing, who was second, would go back to her room to paint and wait, while Qingyi would do her own thing and wait for Xia Li to be released from the dark room.

She had just finished work and had nothing to do, so she wandered around the living room.

"Lin Muran, was that guy cleaning the bathroom just now Xiao Qinglong's creation?" Qingyi peeked out from behind Lin Muran, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked with a grin.

"Yes."

"Can it be powered?"

"Powering it on? I don't know about that. If it's just an illusion, there's no need to power it on." Lin Muran had a vague sense of foreboding. "What are you going to do?"

Qingyi rubbed her hands and laughed, "It's just that, I've been thinking about learning a musical instrument recently, and I know musical instruments are expensive, so how about I ask Manbo to conjure up a musical instrument for me to play?"

"Want to change the instrument?"

Lin Muran thought for a moment, then stood up: "How about this, come to my room with me."

"What...what do you want to do to me? Let me make this clear first, I'm not interested in dealing with a cat that does backflips." Qingyi deliberately covered her chest, pretending to be panicked.

"Do you want to see the penguin doing a backflip?"

Lin Muran was speechless. He led Qingyi to his computer and said, "I think you can study music theory on the computer now while also learning about the reformist music movement."
