My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Hui turned her head and glanced once more at the pitch-black world behind her, then silently murmured in her heart: 'Return.'

Kanae Kobayami's body began to disintegrate and disappear into the air, while a cloud of black particles carrying the body's life essence passed through the void that no one could see.

Wave--,

Hui felt as if she had fallen into a deep pool of water, and could even feel the ripples of the water. After a moment of dizziness, Hui opened her eyes and saw a clear sky. The sounds of cicadas and birds could be heard all around her.

"I'm back!"

Hui paused for a moment at that moment.

Because the quality of his soul suddenly increased from 500 million strings to 9600 million strings.

With 9200 million strings from the demi-human world plus the 400 million strings left in the original body, the superpower "mind manipulation" silently reached level 5.

In an instant, the mental fluctuations that Hui hadn't had time to control spread throughout the entire Sanchuan Mountain, encompassing the foot of the mountain.

However, Hui realized what was happening and managed to stop this unconscious AIM field in time, but the damage had already been done.

At that moment, the first-year students and teachers of Misaki High School on the mountain, the staff and guests of the hot spring inn, and the residents at the foot of the mountain all looked up at the sky at the same time, because they suddenly felt a very oppressive feeling, as if thick cumulonimbus clouds were pressing down on their hearts before a heavy rain.

Fortunately, this feeling came quietly but also went quickly; otherwise, if I had stayed in this feeling for a long time, I would have been driven to neurasthenia or madness sooner or later.

Area 5 is another group located a few dozen meters away from Hui and the others.

Yuuki Masakazu said, "What's wrong? I suddenly feel so depressed!"

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Makoto and Shimazu Shoko, who was standing next to him, exclaimed, "Huh!? You're like that too?"

“Hey, you guys too! I heard there was a murder on this mountain during the chaos after the war. The killer buried the body on the mountain and it hasn’t been found yet. Do you think it’s possible that…” Kubo Takashi recalled the ghost story told by the hotel staff.

"Ah—, please stop talking." Shimazu, a wealthy young lady, couldn't bear this. She leaned against Yuki in fear, terrified.

Although Kubo Takashi's story was full of loopholes, Shimazu Shoko realized that the feeling she had just experienced was indeed like something passing through her body, and she was powerless to resist. Wasn't that just like something like a ghost?

"Tch, nonsense. It's just that the trees here are so lush that the leaves and other herbaceous fibers don't decompose completely, releasing methane. There are no ghosts or monsters here." Kamikawa Akira put down his vocabulary book. Although he had also felt the mental oppression he had just experienced, he had always believed in science and didn't believe in ghosts or monsters. As for souls, that was utter nonsense.

······

For a moment, the first-year students of Misaki High School were all discussing it with their respective group members.

Of course, Hui was unaware of this.

Hui was stunned for a moment, unable to recall where she was, having spent nearly three months in another world.

"Oh right, I'm camping now." Hui stood up and saw the stream in front of her, remembering where she was.

Not far away, she saw Kouta intently staring at a weed, holding a series of sketchbooks. In Hui's eyes, any weed she didn't recognize was a weed.

Just as Hui was about to speak, an unbearable tingling sensation swept through her entire body, and Hui felt that she wanted to take a bath.

And there just happened to be a stream in front of us. Thanks to the natural conservation efforts following Japan's economic recovery, the water in these streams is very clean and natural, and there's no problem drinking it directly.

"Kouta!" Hui called out to Kota.

Kouta had also felt that oppressive feeling just now, and unconsciously stopped writing. However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, and since there was no one around to compare with, he thought it was just his imagination.

Kouta snapped out of his daze and saw that Kei was already awake. He gently asked, "What's wrong?"

"Um, that..."

Hui was too embarrassed to speak.

"Hmm? Which one?... Oh, you must be hungry!" Kouta said, getting up to get the bento from his backpack.

"No, um... I suddenly feel like taking a shower, could you..." Hui blushed. Although they had kissed, it didn't mean she could say such a thing to her boyfriend so easily, after all, a girl's sense of modesty was at play.

'Oh no, what if Kouta thinks I'm a shameless, promiscuous girl?'

As for whether Kouta would peek while she was taking a bath, Hui said that although she would feel shy if Kouta peeked at her, she didn't seem to dislike it.

As for whether outsiders would see her body, Hui wasn't worried. She summoned ten black phantoms to stand guard around the area.

Hui had previously discovered that the black particles brought back from the other world merged into her body without any hindrance, meaning that her original form had also become a demi-human, and the black ghost could naturally be summoned and used.

"Take a...bath?! Oh, okay, I understand."

To be honest, Kouta was a little surprised when he heard this, but it wasn't strange, because it's normal for girls to not be able to stand the feeling of sweating after walking.

Then he started having some wild thoughts. After all, although he was mentally a 30-year-old man, he was currently in the body of a 17-year-old boy. Puberty hormones are no joke, and it's impossible for Kouta not to be interested in the body of such a beautiful girl as Hui.

However, when it came to reason versus desire, Kouta's rationality prevailed, and he took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"Hui, I'll go outside and keep watch for you. You can take your time washing."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Kōta went out from the tall grass to keep watch, while Hui took off all her clothes, leaving her completely naked. She carefully placed her clothes and shoes on the shore to avoid getting them wet, since Hui had only brought a blanket and towel, and no change of clothes.

Chapter 107 Metamorphosis

Walking barefoot to the center of the stream, where the water was deepest, the surface of which could submerge Dao Hui's navel, Hui squatted down and the stream covered her entire body.

A unique property of black particles is that higher-dimensional energy can easily dissolve within them. These higher-dimensional energies include, for example, the soul and the life energy of the human body.

In particular, the life energy of the human body, because it is completely integrated with the physical body, cannot be absorbed even by the ethereal soul of Hui if the life energy is not separated from the organism.

Life energy is vitality, a higher-dimensional energy than biomass energy. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is explained as Qi and blood.

When Qi and blood are abundant, the body is strong; when Qi and blood are deficient, the body is weak.

Aside from the fact that the life energy of Kobayami Kanae's body was completely devoured by Hui due to possession, when Hui devoured the black particles of the demi-human, these particles brought out the life energy of the demi-human's body to varying degrees. After a small amount accumulated, this life energy was quite considerable. It not only completely repaired the internal and external damage of Hui's body, but also thoroughly cleansed and purified her body.

Now that this life energy has merged into the body, it has quickly begun to repair the damage in Hui's body and clear toxins from the body.

"These... are impurities and toxins in my body!"

Hui saw her body begin to expel some butter-like substances. This was because Hui's original body was naturally blessed with exceptional qualities and few toxins. If it were an ordinary person, what they would expel would be black grime.

Hui couldn't stand having these things on her body, so she started to scrub herself. But Hui didn't notice that a large amount of dirty blood was expelled from her private parts, which then quickly dissolved into a trickle of fluid.

It turns out that these were dead cells and some impurities expelled after Hui's uterus was completely renewed, and Hui has now regained her fertility.

Hui feels itchy all over her body, inside and out, but after the itching stops, she feels much lighter. If before she felt like she was carrying a burden, now she feels completely free.

After washing for almost an hour, Hui stood up from the water and looked at her snow-white skin, which looked as if she had just been born. Her skin was clean and flawless inside and out. All the damage inside her body and the injuries to her uterus had disappeared. Her whole body felt like it had been reborn.

"This...this is! And the internal damage has all healed."

Hui was truly shocked when she looked at the flawless skin on her arm.

"And what's with this physical fitness?"

Not only that, Hui also felt that her physical fitness had improved.

If we take the life energy of an ordinary person as a standard, we set it at 1.

Hui's life energy was estimated to be only 0.7 before, but after absorbing the life energy brought back from the demi-human world, Hui's life energy became 50.7. This overflowing life energy began to repair the damage inside and outside the body and cleanse the marrow. Now Hui's life energy is about 10. The huge life energy has brought about an exaggerated improvement in physical fitness.

This body can now easily live to the lifespan limit of human genes: 150 years.

Furthermore, Hui's physical abilities have become three times that of an average person. To put that into perspective, if an average girl can jump 2 meters in a standing long jump, then Hui can jump 6 meters.

The world record for the standing long jump is 3.475 meters. Hui can easily jump 6 meters now, and can jump more than 7 meters if she tries her best.

It's important to understand that even the world's top athletes who can participate in the Olympics train relentlessly, and their physical fitness is at most 1.5 times that of the average person.

Captain America in the Marvel universe has physical abilities that are only four times that of an average person, so the data is multiplied by 4.

"Am I almost as good as Captain America now? But it's true. Like that 7-meter-tall tree before, I can climb it in no time now."

Just then, Kouta's voice came from outside the stream and grass: "Um... Hui, are you done washing up?"

"Huh? Oh! Wait a minute, I'll be done soon."

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Hui checked her body again to make sure she was completely clean before getting ashore, drying herself with a towel, and then putting on her clothes.

"I'm ready, you can come over now," Hui called out.

Kouta walked through the bushes and saw Hui. He was surprised. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he thought Hui was even more beautiful now. Her delicate and fair skin was like curdled goat milk, and her skin was as transparent as a Xinjiang mare's milk grape. It was so clear and translucent that he couldn't bear to look at it for too long.

Of course, she was absolutely stunning before, but now she's almost beyond human comprehension.

Hui felt a little embarrassed by the stares, and, whether it was because her body was feeling better or because of the hormones of a teenage girl, she felt more sensitive and her whole body inexplicably hot.

What Hui didn't know was that she had been threatened with death in the demi-human world before.

This triggered Huiming's innate reproductive drive.

Simply put, Hui had an instinctive urge to leave behind several children before she died, since she might die herself.

The most obvious outward manifestation of this is the current psychological desire to mate.

Kouta noticed that a few strands of Hui's wet hair were stuck to her face. He stepped forward and brushed the hair back of her head, but the girl's unique fragrance stirred up Kouta's instincts ingrained in his genes.

His breathing quickened, and he wanted to hold the person in front of him in his arms, but after all, he was mentally an older man, so he quickly suppressed the thought.

Hui smelled the boy's scent up close. Well, it wasn't a pleasant fragrance, but it had a unique allure.

The temptation made Hui reluctant to leave, and he stayed put, seeking what he had.

The boy's masculine aura was more effective than any aphrodisiac, especially after his body recovered. His previously suppressed adolescent desires were released, and Hui felt that she wanted it.

However, it's usually the boys who take the initiative in these kinds of things; there's no reason why girls would take the initiative.

Hui glanced up at Kouta, and as if by instinct, while Kouta was smoothing her hair, she deliberately leaned forward and pressed her body against his chest, whispering, "Kouta, what time is it?"

Smelling the fresh scent of Hui's body after her bath, Kōta swallowed hard. He could even feel Hui's breath on his chest as she spoke.

Although they had been intimate before, even kissing, it was nothing unusual for them to simply get close like this. But Kouta felt that something was different today!

Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Kouta swallowed hard and said, "Um... around 3 pm, we have to go to the meeting place in two hours."

"Mmm," Hui replied softly, then looked up at Kouta with timid yet pleading eyes.

Chapter 108 Heartfelt Intentions

Hui's expression was incredibly alluring, especially for a beauty like her. It made one want to ravage this exquisite woman, so pure yet alluring, and to hear her plead in agony…
