Chapter 6: The smile gradually changes

Seeing the other party return to their original form, Feng Xue immediately wanted to lock his own lifespan again, but upon seeing it, he realized something was off.

His own lifespan was actually locked!

Feng Xue had tested this before; when he tried to lock someone else's lifespan, his own locked lifespan would immediately unlock, and vice versa. After Transmigration, he also tried to simultaneously lock his own 【great fortune】 and 【Lifespan】, but the result was the same. This led him to naturally believe that his Golden Finger could only lock one concept at a time.

But now, it seemed that it wasn't that it could only lock one item, but rather, "for a single target, only one item can be locked, and the locked items between multiple targets cannot be the same."

"This way, the Golden Finger's operability is much better; at least I don't have to worry about being ambushed when switching locked items."

Thinking this, Feng Xue tentatively poked the White Snake. It seemed to have finally recovered from the blow of being "reverted to its original form." When the White Snake saw Feng Xue teasing it with his finger, it opened its mouth and bit.

Unfortunately, Feng Xue had long been prepared, and the White Snake was currently clinging to Feng Xue's body. With a slight retraction, he easily avoided the powerless bite.

The White Snake slid down from Feng Xue's clothes, raised its head, and angrily asked, "What exactly are you? I've never heard of a mouth seal being revocable after it's been completed!"

Feng Xue was slightly surprised by this, and then remembered that the characteristic of 【Receiving a Mouth Seal】 only caused cultivation loss when "maliciously disparaged." Conversely, as long as there was no malice, even if reverted to its original form, the enhancements like 【Refining Horizontal Bones】, 【Speaking Human Words】, and 【Aptitude Improvement】 would not disappear.

Although he couldn't understand why a snake's body structure could speak Chinese, considering that there were even Monsters in this world, there was no need to be so materialistic.

However, upon realizing this, Feng Xue's last shred of guilt towards the White Snake immediately vanished, and a rather malicious smile appeared on his face as he said:

"I think you look like a jade pendant!"

"Bang!"

The white smoke dispersed, and the White Snake, coiled into the shape of a jade pendant, had not yet had a chance to speak when Feng Xue continued:

"Oh, a dead object can actually work? Then... you look like a cup!"

"Bang!"

"Whose cup is soft? And how do you drink water with such a narrow opening?" the White Snake complained, feeling the changes happening to it and looking utterly resigned. But Feng Xue remained unmoved, merely nodding to himself:

"It seems the result of the mouth seal is based on the thoughts of the person bestowing the seal, rather than a change generated by the sensing of Heavenly Dao rules. Otherwise, it wouldn't turn into this kind of cup..."

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly arose in Feng Xue's mind, and he immediately said:

"I think you look like a handgun!"

"Bang!"

"It actually works?" Feng Xue picked up the cool white revolver, but unfortunately, there were no bullets in the cylinder.

"Hmm, a weapon is fine, but there's no part that can turn into a bullet? Then... I think you look like a laser gun?"

"..."

This time, however, no smoke appeared. What remained in front of him was still the white revolver.

"A laser gun can't be changed? No energy? Hmm... I think you look like a motorcycle?"

"Bang!"

"Good heavens, is it this cool?" Feng Xue's eyes lit up as he looked at the motorcycle in front of him, which seemed to be pieced together from white Dragon scales. Ignoring the White Snake's protests, he inspected it thoroughly and found that although there was no fuel tank or battery, it could indeed start.

"Interesting, then... I think you look like a stun baton?"

"Bang!"

"I think you look like a taser!"

"Bang!"

"I think you look like a Taser gun!"

"Bang!"

"I think you look like a Kamen Rider transformation device!"

"Bang!"

...

"Alright, at least I have self-defense weapons and escape tools."

Feng Xue looked at the experimental results and frowned slightly: "Both the motorcycle and the stun gun work, which means it's not an energy problem. Is it because I don't know the principle? Or because this world doesn't have it? But this world shouldn't have a Taser gun either, right? Not to mention the Kamen Rider transformation device also works, even if it can't make me transform..."

Thinking of this, his mind turned, and he uttered something whose principle he definitely didn't know:

"I think you look like a ghost!"

"Hey, are you done yet..."

"Bang!"

Before the White Snake could finish its sentence, another burst of white smoke rose. Seeing the other party completely disappear, Feng Xue's heart tightened—

"It can indeed change! So this world has Taser guns, or are both at play simultaneously? As long as one condition is met?"

Feng Xue pondered, but he wouldn't let the White Snake disappear because of this. He was about to speak another seal, but before the words left his mouth, he noticed that he could still see the White Snake, which was no longer visible to the naked eye, through his over-the-shoulder perspective. After a slight surprise, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My over-the-shoulder perspective can actually see spiritual bodies? That's truly reassuring!"

Thinking this, he said again:

"You look like a human!"

"Bang!"

Another puff of white smoke, and a figure identical to the one Feng Xue had sealed before reappeared. Seeing this girl, who perfectly matched his XP System, slump to the ground in a duck-sitting posture, Feng Xue raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"This time I didn't add any adjectives, will it still turn out like this?"

Saying that, he then changed the subject:

"You look like a blonde twin-tailed tsundere beast-eared loli!"

"Bang!"

After the white smoke, the White Snake indeed changed its appearance. However, Feng Xue clearly had no intention of listening to her feedback and immediately gave a simple, direct description:

"You look like a snake!"

"Bang!"

"You look like a human!"

"Are you sick?! I've been cultivating for so long not for you to play with!" Bursting out of the smoke again, the White Snake no longer cared about its goal of achieving enlightenment. Its only thought now was to make this bastard miserable, utterly miserable, indescribably miserable!

And then...

"You look like a ring!"

Seeing the scene he wanted to see, Feng Xue calmly uttered four words. The black-haired, beautiful girl, whose fingertips were already about to touch Feng Xue's throat, instantly transformed into a white, snake-eating-its-tail-shaped ring.

Feng Xue bent down, picked up the ring, and put it on his right index finger, nodding with satisfaction:

"It seems the first mouth seal transformation is finalized. Subsequent changes can be forced, but the default main form is the result of the first transformation... Eh? This ring is actually a bit soft? The previous cup and jade pendant... Well, the jade pendant said 'jade,' and the cup itself has requirements for material hardness? While rings can be made of all sorts of materials, and I didn't specify the material with words, so it just set a shape?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Feeling Feng Xue rubbing its scales, the White Snake stiffened its body and asked with a mix of displeasure and apprehension.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue immediately smiled:

"I want you to help me cultivate."

"Dream on!" The White Snake squeezed out two words through clenched teeth, its resentment almost materializing.

But this was understandable. If it wasn't angry now, it wouldn't need to cultivate; it could just become an Incarnation and achieve Buddhahood on the spot.
