Chapter 859: Not Feeling It
"How rude of them. I knew they'd never have anything good to say about me... I swear I need to teach them a lesson—"
Before Xiaoyun could finish ranting, Houqin suddenly reached out her hand, firmly grasping his crotch as she stared right into his eyes.
"You got erected at my zombie body, didn't you?"
"I, um..."
The sudden exposure caught Xiaoyun off guard. In his mind, Houqin's zombie body was disgusting in every sense.
From looks to touch to the smell of the zombie flesh, any of it alone would be enough to make any normal person feel repulsed.
But for Xiaoyun, it was different, not just because she was Houqin, who happened to be someone he loved.
It was more than that.
The sheer thought of what a zombie pussy would feel like wrapping around his cock. Curiosity that cannot be satisfied until he tests it for 'science.'
"Don't you feel disgusted at me?" Houqin asked as she moved even closer, sitting directly on top of his lap.
"I-I mean, of course I do feel a little weirded out... But..."
"But what?"
"I uh... Okay fine, I'm just curious. I mean, how am I supposed to tell myself to calm down when something so exotic is in front of me?'
"Exotic?"
Houqin stared down from above, her face looking both confused and puzzled at the same time by his answer.
"Yeah, exotic. I had never seen or even heard of a human and a zombie getting together. And you being so... different."
Xiaoyun finally muttered the last words out of his mouth, unable to hold back his lips from speaking his mind.
"You seriously think like that?"
The moment Xiaoyun answered with a nod, Houqin's face suddenly started blushing again as she shyly looked to the side.
"Y-You really are a p-pervert."
"Only a pervert like me can get hard at you. No men out there can remain so calm and get turned on after seeing their beautiful girlfriend turn into a rotten zombie.
All of them would have instantly cowed away. But I'm the brave captain who's not afraid of going the distance—"
"S-Stop acting so proud, that wasn't a compliment."
"Okay, fine... Wait, Houqin, how did you even turn back into a zombie like that? I mean, like how did you change your appearance?"
"I don't know... I was just thinking about how I could test if you really love me. And then it reappeared on my body."
"Just from thinking about it?"
Houqin nodded her head as the broken skin appeared on her arm for a second before it instantly vanished.
"Huh... That's almost like my ability."
"I can't make anything thought." Houqin quickly added as she tried to create a bottle of water in her hand.
"Key word is almost... Oh well, at least you can change it back to normal. Tianci probably can figure it out later."
Just as Xiaoyun threw it into the back of his mind, he suddenly noticed Houqin's body constantly twitching back and forth a little.
"Ahem, so what do you want to do now?"
As the two of them stared into each other's eyes, both of their body could feel each other's heart rate racing faster and faster.
"What do you think, dummy——Ah!"
Before Houqin could finish, Xiaoyun suddenly rushed forward, pinning her down onto the bed as their faces became an inch apart.
"Houqin, I love you."
"I love you too——Mhm!"
Their lips touched once again as Xiaoyun stuck his tongue out. It was drastically different from earlier as the foul smell disappeared.
There was no more foul odor. In its place was a weirdly alluring smell. One that made him want to keep sniffing her body.
Her smooth, silk-like skin as his hand reached behind her back. A single pull was enough to free her well-endowed melons from the red dress fully.
"Houqin, you're so beautiful..." Xiaoyun complimented as their lips slowly separated from each other.
"Do you like the zombie me or the human me?" Houqin questioned.
"I like them both."
"Pick one—Hm!"
Xiaoyun kissed her on the lips once again. One of his hands reached for her chest, while the other reached down towards her thighs.
A gentle squeeze immediately made her moan out slightly as his other hand went beneath the red dress.
With nothing inside, his finger easily made contact with the destination. A soft, shaped bun with a bump at the top prevented his fingertip from going inside.
Yet, there was something that surprised him.
It was completely dry.
"Did I not give her enough foreplay?"
The thought eluded Xiaoyun's mind as he shifted both of his hands back up, targeting her boobs as he teased around the tip.
"Ah—"
Hearing the moan, Xiaoyun didn't rush to check as he continued kissing her on the lips, while giving her breast a gentle massage.
The more he squeezed it with his hand, the more he suddenly noticed something was off—a lump inside her boobs that didn't feel a little hard.
Reaching down, he felt a similar touch below the abdomen. He was certain it wasn't the fat, the pubic bone, or a flexible muscle.
"Xiaoyun..."
Houqin suddenly pushed him away, looking down at herself without saying another word. It became clear to Xiaoyun that there was something wrong.
Something that goes much deeper than what it appears up front.
"What's wrong, Houqin?"
"Xiaoyun, I-I can't..."
Seeing her continuing to stare towards herself, Xiaoyun immediately realized the seriousness of the problem as he pressed her to answer back.
"You can't what? Tell me, and maybe we can work something out... Did I make you uncomfortable?"
"No, it's not that... I'm the problem."
"You're not the problem, okay?"
Xiaoyun gave Houqin a warm hug as a low, quiet sob rang in his ears. He could feel tears dropping onto his back as she leaned onto his shoulder.
"Xiaoyun, I-I can't!"
"It's okay, it's okay."
The gentle pat on the head slowly calmed Houqin back down as the sobbing stopped. She looked back at him with a tearful face.
"Xiaoyun I—"
"You don't have to say it if you don't want to... We can do this another day if that makes you more comfortable."
To his surprise, she shook her head and rejected his offer. Her eyes seemed determined to tell him the truth.
"Xiaoyun, I can't feel anything."
"I know. And it's okay... We can do this another time. What matters is figuring out what went wrong and how to fix it."
As Xiaoyun casually started helping her put on the red dress again with no complaint, a question eluded her mind.
"Xiaoyun... How do you know I can't feel anything?"
"Because I can hear with my ear. Your fake moans almost fooled me, though... Just a little quieter and I would have been bamboozled."
The answer was made up on the spot, as Xiaoyun didn't want to tell her the real reasoning behind it was the lack of wetness.
"Y-You aren't mad?"
"Mad over what?"
"We were having such a romantic moment, about to have sex for the first time, and then I ruined it..."
"Sex is not everything, you silly. I care more about your wellbeing than your body... Do you know what's causing you to feel nothing?"
"I don't know. It's been like this since I turned into a zombie."
Houqin fell into silence, her face looking guilty as if she had done something wrong behind his back.
"Probably something to do with the nervous system. Did you tell this to Tianci when you went to the lab with her today?"
"I... I did. She told me she wasn't sure either. Sorry Xiaoyun, I really should have told you this before we—"
"It's okay."
As Xiaoyun repeated his reassurance for who knows how many times, Houqin seemed to finally take his words seriously.
"Thank you..."
"No problem. Ahem, I think I might know the reasoning why you can't feel anything." Xiaoyun murmured as he awkwardly scratched his head.
"Hm?"
Houqin looked back at Xiaoyun with confused eyes. She could see his face looking oddly guilty, as if he had done something wrong behind her back instead.
"You know, um... I, um... You remember how I magically reverted your body into a normal human, right?"
She nodded her head, waiting for Xiaoyun to continue as he continued to scratch his head in sheer awkwardness.
"Well, I... I might have forgotten some stuff."
"Forgotten some stuff?"
"I um..."
"Can you just say it?" Houqin impatiently questioned as she grew tired of his stalling and stuttering.
"You have to not get mad at me if I say it."
After a short standstill with signs of backing down by Xiaoyun, she eventually folded to his demand.
"I won't be mad at you no matter what. You happy?"
"Okay... I, um. Let's just say I was too busy fixing your skin, and then I forgot about the rest of your body when I saw your naked body."
"You what?"
