Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Girl in White Gauze

“What is this? Thumbelina?” Lin Shen looked at the objects that had rolled out from the two eggs, and he was somewhat stunned.

Base Variant Creatures in human form were not unfamiliar to Lin Shen; the Supersonic Gunman he had won before was also a human-shaped Base Variant Creature.

But Base Variant Creatures should have the appearance of Base Variant Creatures, and these two that had tumbled from the eggs had faces that were both pale and tender, like shelled eggs.

Their hair was jet-black and glossy, smoother than if they had used Pantene shampoo, not at all the icy hardness one would expect from a Base Variant Creature.

What had rolled out of the two eggs were two tiny beings, not even the size of a palm, with features as delicate as carved jade, wearing what seemed like white bridal gowns, adorned with headdresses and veils, one holding a slender-necked porcelain vase and the other a gourd-shaped porcelain vase.

They were like two exquisite figurines, yet they were clearly made of flesh and blood, and the life in their eyes was incredibly animated, not at all like the cold, lifeless Base Variant Creatures, but more like living, breathing humans.

While Lin Shen was still caught in his surprise, something even more astonishing happened; with a light wave of their hands, clad in white gloves, the broken eggshells on the ground flew towards them, and mid-air they broke down into tiny fragments, flying directly into the mouths of the small figures.

Lin Shen immediately reacted, reaching to catch the flying eggshells, but it was too late. The eggshells, as if sentient, evaded Lin Shen’s palm and flew into the mouths of the tiny figures.

As the eggshells were swallowed, something even more inconceivable occurred.

After eating the eggshells, the tiny beings who were only the size of a palm started to rapidly enlarge.

Yes, enlarge, not grow, it was a proportional enlargement, even the clothes on their hands and the porcelain vases they held expanded at the same ratio.

In the blink of an eye, the two palm-sized little figures had transformed into two young girls in white bridal-like dresses, and they looked exactly alike.

Their beauty need not be mentioned, but what was key was their skin, which was truly white and tender. Lin Shen’s mind spontaneously generated a term he had never heard before, “milk-skinned girls.”

Lin Shen felt that they indeed deserved a new term coined just for them. Every beauty had her own allure, but their skin was probably the most tender and pale than anyone else’s.

The white dresses the two were wearing were slightly different, and one could tell them apart by the designs on the dresses. However, there was an even more obvious characteristic.

The girl on the left had a red cinnabar mole-like mark on her forehead, and the girl on the right had a heart-shaped mark; they were identical to the marks previously on the eggs.

Looking at the two beautiful girls in front of him, holding porcelain vases as if they were brides, Lin Shen’s mind drifted to a DVD he had once seen when his fourth brother took him to watch something of the sort.

Lin Shen remembered that the TV show on the DVD was called “Journey to the West.” It told the story of Sun Wukong and his three disciples going to the Western Heaven to retrieve scriptures, fighting demons along the way.

In one episode, they encountered two demons, one named King Gold-Horn and the other King Silver-Horn.

Each of them possessed a magical object similar to what the two girls held, one being The Purifying Vase and the other the Purple Gold Gourd.

Of course, only the styles were similar, as the objects the two girls held were porcelain, a different material.

But watching them holding two of these things, and thinking about the dead powder on his own body that resembled a rope, why did he feel like it matched an episode from that mythological drama?

“You two…” Lin Shen looked at the two girls, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He didn’t even know how to address these two girls. If you called them Base Variant Creatures, would anyone believe it with their soft and tender appearance?

If you said they weren’t Base Variant Creatures, having seen what happened with Fei Zai, Lin Shen knew that looks can be deceiving, and besides, he had watched them come out of the eggs with his own eyes.

But then again, the eggshells had been eaten by them, so using the eggshells to tame them seemed impossible now.

Moreover, with the experience from Fei Zai, Lin Shen felt that even if he did get hold of the eggshells, it would probably be difficult to tame them.

And he didn’t even know if they had any Pet Keys. Lin Shen had been with Fei Zai for so long, using all kinds of schemes, threats, and inducements, yet Fei Zai never handed over the key. Maybe there wasn’t a key at all, since they were made of flesh and blood, where could they hide a key?

Looking at the two girls with their rosy lips and white teeth, dressed in white gauzy dresses, skin so delicate it seemed it might drip water if pinched, their clear and distinct beautiful eyes staring at him, Lin Shen cleared his throat and said, “Ladies, could you hand over the key first? You know life isn’t easy, it’s hard to earn money. If you give me the key now, I will take care of you in the future. No matter how hard, tiring, or difficult it is, I guarantee you’ll get whatever you want to eat or drink. Stay with me, and you’ll live the high life without a doubt.”

While speaking, Lin Shen observed the expressions of the two girls, trying to discern what they were really thinking.

After hearing Lin Shen’s words, the two girls looked at each other, expressionless, one hand holding a porcelain vase, the other hand each reaching towards their foreheads.

Under Lin Shen’s gaze, the two girls pulled out a small red key from the red marks on their foreheads.

“That’s right, that’s the one, from now on you’ll follow me, I assure you a princess-like treatment,” Lin Shen said, ecstatic inside, but keeping a stern look on his face, he walked over and slowly took the keys from their hands.

“I wonder if beautiful Pet Creatures can have children?” With the key in hand, Lin Shen felt a great sense of relief, but he immediately glared at his backpack.

“Isn’t this the key? That bastard Fei Zai, always refusing to hand it over after I’ve been raising him like a son, dealing with every crap and pee as he grew, just you wait…”

Fei Zai, who was sleeping inside the backpack, suddenly shivered, turned over, and continued to sleep.

“Let’s take a little break, beautiful ladies,” Lin Shen said as he used the keys to turn them back into their Pet Capsule state.

Lin Shen’s eyes were wide open, staring without blinking, wanting to see how two living and breathing beautiful girls transformed into Pet Capsules.

Under Lin Shen’s watch, something like wedding dresses, the white gowns of the two girls, began to move, enveloping their bodies and starting to spin.

The white gowns wrapped them up like cocoons, spinning and shrinking smaller and smaller, until they turned into two delicate, cocoon-shaped Pet Capsules, falling into Lin Shen’s hands.

These two Pet Capsules were clearly different from ordinary ones, soft and elastic to the touch, feeling slightly warm in his hands, and he could even smell a faint scent, not sure if it was the girls’ body fragrance.

Having received the Pet Capsules, Lin Shen immediately checked their attributes, and upon looking, his head was instantly filled with question marks.
