The days when I wanted to be a human being

"My goodness... your condition today... seems... hiss... huh... not quite right... how about... first..."

The first thing Shanks thought of was to stop Zhou Ling with words, but his tired body and the knife that stabbed him while he was talking made it impossible for him to finish a complete sentence.

Zhou Ling certainly knew why her condition was not right today, but this did not prevent her from "teaching" the future Four Emperors.

After all, there are always a few days every month when emotions fluctuate.

Even in the form of a mature woman, she cannot control this emotion well.

But she didn't suppress it too much.

Releasing emotions can just happen to trigger her first talent, so she won't deliberately suppress these emotions that have more benefits than disadvantages.

Although she didn't know how many free attribute points she had now, she didn't hate having more and more of them.

Zhou Ling was thinking about something, and her hands' movements slowed down unconsciously.

"good chance!"

The tired Shanks seized this rare opportunity, blocked Zhou Ling's sword, and swung an extremely tricky sword.

Its knife slashed across Zhou Ling's belly.

"His!"

There was a sound of clothes tearing, and then a shallow wound appeared on the stomach. Bright red blood flowed out of it, forming a sharp contrast with the fair skin.

"laugh!"

The knife slipped from Shanks's hand and slid into the sandy ground.

Shanks stared at the scene in a daze. He suddenly panicked and hurried towards Zhou Ling.

The sudden pain in her stomach brought Zhou Ling back to reality.

She looked down and saw a huge tear in her clothes at her stomach.

And the shallow wound on the stomach.

"Myo, I'm sorry, I..."

Looking at Shanks who was at a loss and stammering, Zhou Ling suddenly laughed.

"Shanks, are you... worried? Don't worry, isn't it okay?"

As Zhou Ling spoke, she brushed her hand across the wound and wiped the blood clean.

"How can it be okay? It's... bleeding." Shanks said, rubbing his eyes.

He stared at Zhou Ling's white belly with eyes wide open in disbelief. The wound had disappeared, leaving only the white belly.

"How could this be? This..." He muttered as he reached out his hand towards Zhou Ling's belly.

He wanted to confirm whether he was hallucinating.

Just as his hand touched Zhou Ling's skin, Zhou Ling grabbed his hand.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, don't worry."

"Really...really, if that's the case, can we stop fighting for now?" Shanks stammered, his face red.

Zhou Ling just thought that he was blushing because of the high-intensity confrontation and didn't have any other thoughts.

"No more fighting, Xiao Kai is coming back, let's prepare to eat first."

Zhou Ling grabbed Shanks' hand in front of him and put the green knife in his hand.

"As a reward for cutting me for the first time, this knife is given to you."

Seeing Shanks still standing there in a daze, she thought he was still worried about her injury, so she comforted him: "Don't worry about my injury, it's okay."

Shanks, who was stunned, heard Zhou Ling's comfort and said in panic: "I... I'm not worried."

Shanks knew exactly what he was thinking and quickly shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind.

"You kid..." Zhou Ling said, stretched out his hand to grab the clothes, and repaired them with his life energy.

When he let go of his hands again, the clothes were back to normal.

"Don't get too carried away. Continue in the afternoon."

"Huh? Isn't it?!"

……

When the sun was about to reach overhead, the auxiliary system for fishing in the sea finally came back.

The Flame Dragon Armor flew out of the sea, dragging a huge sea beast in its hand.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Ling, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, said to the auxiliary system in his mind:

"Xiao Kai, it's still so late today."

"Yes, Master. There are no suitable sea beasts in the waters near O'Hara. This system can only search for them in places farther away."

"boom!"

The huge sea monster was thrown onto the beach, splashing up countless sand.

Shanks, who saw this scene, complained:

"Hey, hey! I've told you so many times not to throw the fish directly into the sand. It will get stuck with sand and you won't be able to sell it for a good price!"

"Okay, this system has received Shanks's suggestion, but it's up to the owner whether to make changes."

"Okay, okay. From now on, I'll leave it to you, Xiao Kai."

After Zhou Ling handed over the task of handling the fish to the auxiliary system, he continued to lie down.

The reason why I don’t want to move is because of the mature lady form.

After these few years, Zhou Ling finally understood the real purpose of "hiding" mentioned when this form first appeared.

Under normal circumstances, this form has regressed from the legendary level to the mortal level. To use the words of the martial arts world, it is the state of returning to nature.

But she can unleash legendary power at any time if she wants to.

Yes, the lower limit has been lowered and the upper limit has been raised. This is the biggest change.

Of course, there were some insignificant changes, such as she would feel hungry automatically as soon as it was time for dinner, and she no longer had to force herself to eat.

But one disadvantage is that my period becomes more regular.

And it will be accompanied by various negative emotions, but fortunately this form itself is rational enough.

But there will still be some minor impacts.

For example, today Shanks is dressed up as a beggar.

Zhou Ling felt a little regretful that the auxiliary system didn't come back earlier, otherwise she could have taken a photo as a souvenir.

But she doesn't need this one anymore. She will take it out when Shanks becomes one of the Four Emperors...

Zhou Ling couldn't help but imagine what kind of expressions would appear on the faces of the future Four Emperors when they saw their ugly childhood photos.

She began to chuckle in her heart.

"Great! Uncle Kai and I are going to sell fish. Be careful."

"I know, I know. I don't need you to worry about me anymore. You should worry about yourself."

After watching Shanks and the auxiliary system pull away the dealt with huge sea beast on a cart, Zhou Ling began to rest with his eyes closed at the entrance of the cave.

But after a while, she opened her eyes again.

"Boom! Boom!"

She heard faint thunder.

She cast her gaze toward the distant sea horizon.

A huge dark cloud appeared in the blue sky, which was originally filled with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

What is striking is that a giant shining with golden light in the clouds is fighting with a green dragon in the clouds.

And behind the huge cloud, there were three naval warships following closely.

"Tsk, the storm is coming."

A gust of sea breeze blew from afar, across the beach, up the cliff, and ruffled Zhou Ling's hair.
