My Arms Can Turn into Blades

"Grab my hair."

Xia Panqiu held onto Chen Lusi’s wrist, her small head gently nudging his palm.

Chen Lusi instinctively clutched her short, stylish hair.

Xia Panqiu stood there obediently, her shapely legs together, slightly tilting her head back to look at Chen Lusi.

Then she took a deep breath and directly released the Authority.

The moment the Authority Ability was lifted.

The girl in front of Chen Lusi began to change rapidly, evolving from petite to tall, growing from sparse to having shapely curves that were hard to conceal, and her rounded, well-toned legs visibly elongated, revealing delicate white ankles with a hint of pink hue.

It happened quickly.

Except for the face.

The Xia Panqiu before him now shared little resemblance to her earlier self.

Not only had she become taller, but her aura had changed as well.

"I don’t know how Lin Ying did it back then."

After everything was settled.

Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi again, blinking her eyes with her exquisite, pretty face slightly flushed, and said softly, "So I could only guess and do my best to minimize the difference in appearance between Lin Ying and me. As for how she did it, I don’t know, but surely there’s something that can calm you down and reduce certain impacts.

"Don’t lie to me, there must be. I asked you just now if the palace couldn’t be because Xiaoxiao and Tang Language could help you... it’s only Lin Ying."

Chen Lusi: "..."

"So."

Xia Panqiu paused, pursed her rosy lips shyly, and said, "Do with me whatever you did with Lin Ying, anything is fine... the palace inside is certainly not simple, and you might not find Lin Ying immediately, so to find Lin Ying and Xiaoxiao smoothly, please disperse the influence of occupying the Kunlun Pantheon before going in.

"As you move closer to the palace, the more exaggerated your breathing becomes, which is really unsettling."

Chen Lusi: "..."

Xia Panqiu noticed Chen Lusi’s silence, hesitated for a moment, then looked down and quietly added, "...I don’t mind."

"..."

Chen Lusi slowly tightened his grip on her smooth, stylish short hair, and then exerted a slight force with his right hand, making her lift her head again.

"Hmm..."

Xia Panqiu was forced to raise her head, looking up at Chen Lusi.

Her beautiful eyes were moist, her red lips slightly parted, her fair face completely flushed... like a tender, fresh flower bud blooming, exuding a delicate fragrance amidst its young charm.

"I actually want to ask."

After a moment of silence, Chen Lusi helplessly said, "Are you a masochist?"

Xia Panqiu replied in a quiet voice, "Only with you..."

"Deny it! What do you mean by ’only with me’?"

Under the constant bombardment of thoughts.

Hearing Xia Panqiu’s response like that.

Chen Lusi couldn’t hold it together anymore... for the first time on Xia Panqiu’s behalf, he felt the same dilemma as with the two sisters.

Feeling both amused and exasperated, he gently ruffled her stylish short hair: "Apologizing last time in white stockings was one thing! Now you’re saying anything I do is okay? Lin Ying is my girlfriend, are you? Do you know what that means? You silly girl!"

"I said from the start."

Looking at Chen Lusi, who seemed both amused and exasperated, Xia Panqiu tightened her grip on his collar, leaning forward: "The real me is like this, very silly, unable to hide thoughts, impulsive at times."

"I know I’ve done things wrong, regretted them, yet stubbornly clung to appearances."

"Lacking emotional intelligence, sometimes presumptuous, sometimes posturing."

"Completely immature, sometimes not even as mature as a teenage girl."

"When I can’t come up with good ideas, I resort to stupid ways..."

"..."

Chen Lusi quietly listened to the end and then even more helplessly said, "Didn’t you say this before?"

"Yes."

Xia Panqiu nodded, then softly replied, "But I’ve already changed a lot, like I’m not dithering anymore, nor am I pretending..."

"Then you should revert to that."

Chen Lusi forcefully ruffled her sleek, stylish short hair again: "What you need to change is your complete immaturity."

Unexplainably.

Chen Lusi’s breathing calmed considerably.

"...Is this still not enough?"

Xia Panqiu was stunned at his words, then looked down at herself, blushing fiercely: "I’ve already tried my best, I can only compress, not expand..."

"I’m talking about your mindset! Mindset! Not your figure.

I’m not some pervert who only likes the big ones!"

Chen Lusi released her short hair, feeling both amused and exasperated, his breathing fully settling down.

After all.

The severe aftereffects of occupying the Kunlun Pantheon were because his human nature was in a tug of war with the divinity forcefully imposed by Lan.

Whether it was inner rage or extreme calmness, they were all buffs brought on by the divinity.

And with Chen Lusi’s reserved personality, in his solitude and silence... human nature simply couldn’t contend with divinity.

However, if someone gave him a push... that would change, since, at his core, he is human, and once external factors are introduced, human nature would reassume control, allowing him to completely regain his composure.

This is similar to how Si Yujie can’t maintain her ’Summoning God’ state upon hearing her daughter’s in danger.

It’s just that.

Lin Ying helped Chen Lusi mainly through affection.

While Xia Panqiu’s actions were puzzling.

Yet, she indeed managed to help Chen Lusi’s human nature regain dominance.

After all, at this moment, Chen Lusi’s mind was filled with thoughts of her once clumsy self.

He could no longer maintain absolute calmness.

Actually, there were signs of this earlier.

But because Xia Panqiu didn’t take a further step, the divinity brought on by Chen Lusi occupying the Kunlun Pantheon still dominated, though it was somewhat chaotic.

But now, hearing Xia Panqiu earnestly say she’s done her best...
