'Man, this feels weird.'
Glancing to my left I saw a small child happily walking as she held onto my arm. Long chestnut colored hair flowed down her back, ever so subtly gliding through the air in small wave like motions.
She kept swinging my arm back and forth and from that every once in a while I caught a glimpse of her dazzling amethyst colored eyes. An eye color which less than 1% of my original world's population possesses.
Seeing her current child-like act and disposition it would be hard for me to think of her as that purple creature-devouring mimic slime, but those purple eyes are the proof enough for me. It should be quite difficult to find another possesses such an eye color.
What really stands out about her is something she shouldn't have in the first place. Mounds, which could easily put many adult woman to shame, hung off her chest. They held onto their shape quite easily somehow and bounced up and down way too much, especially when extra energetic.
Peering onto my right a woman walks next to me a gentle smile seemingly almost always on her face. Her ink black hair had an alluring luster to them as every step she took a ray of light shone across her waist length hair.
Every once in a while she would affectionately gaze at me with a full turn of her head. Her smile would turn a few notches warmer before it returned to how it was previously looking ahead.
During that time I saw majestic jade colored eyes which for the most part peered back at me. Her eye color although rarest in the common four colors pales in comparison to the girl on my left.
Her elegant and wholesome disposition is quite amazing especially after all the death and destruction we've gone through to get here. It's quite frankly amazing and while thinking that I found myself smiling. She seemed to notice and returned one as well. Becoming a bit embarrassed I looked toward the path we were taking.
They were Zheng Da and Yao Ya respectively.
A well maintained cobblestone road was laid ahead and in the far distance I could see a massive city.
'I guess that's our destination.'
Thinking about our appearance I wonder if others would think of us as a small family if they saw us. A man, a woman, and a child being towed along, what else could we look like besides a family? Thinking so made me think of a bright future with Yao Ya, though I wouldn't know if Zheng Da could fit into it.
Now that I think about it Li Lian was left behind! I had a mini panic attack as I thought about that giant woman, but on another note a smidgen glad I was so far away. I wouldn't have to worry about that minute possibility of her wanting to kill me, but still I was disheartened at losing a friend/kidnapper? Had Stockholm syndrome really taken hold? Well she's a friend, now at least, and that's all that matters.
I wonder what wholesome moments we'll experience in this city? Now that I have Zheng Da I feel like those moments might occur more often.

(Yao Ya POV)
This scenic walk with Darling is quite a stress reliever. I'm sure I'm slowly gaining his affection my gazes and smiles.
"Hehe" I covered my mouth as he turned while blushing. His shy demeanor doesn't seem to be easily changed, for a bit I thought he had indeed changed when he said those confident comeback words in the cave. I wouldn't have minded though if he did become such a flirty man.
As he looked forward my eyes met with Zheng Da's and for a moment I felt an extreme tension. But the next moment I realized she was smiling at me and waved her little hand in my direction. I returned the wave before realizing my eyes began to wonder to the little hand she used to hold onto Darling.
'I want to hold him too.'
But I kept that thought back as I didn't want him to think of me as too clingy. Instead I thought about another possibility, one where we would pretend to be a family. Pretending to be a mother wouldn't be too bad especially since I would have my "Husband" alongside with me.
If Zheng Da truly acts like a child there should be plenty of opportunities for me and my "Husband" to respond together. And of course being "Husband and Wife" means that we'll be have to be doing "that" act. Being lovers already certainly should help along with the fact we've done it before.
If anything this should be the perfect time for us to to even further our love for each other! Li Lian, my dear sister, I'm afraid I'll be taking him all for myself! Hehehe!!! In the end I win, but I suppose I don't "have" to keep him for myself.
That city in the distance will be everything I need for this objective.
Now would Zheng Da be much of a problem? It doesn't seemed to be easily harmed by physical attacks, would Qi based attacks work on it? Although I don't plan on killing it, having a protection method for myself is quite necessary in case that nightmare of being replaced by it would come true.

(Zheng Da POV)
Ever since devouring the that human female my thoughts and priorities have changed drastically. When I was still a wolf I was only concerned about protecting my Master, but now it's different.
I gained so many new thoughts and ways to express my emotions through that woman. The woman's thoughts were filled with schemes and such, most of which if not all were directed towards the male gender. Seductions were the main form, but there were other ways too. With the looks that body the woman had I could still captivate Master, but with that other woman here I would have to compete for affection.
Luckily she gave me the perfect opportunity to change forms. My current body is mostly still that of the other woman, but younger. I had to reach an age where she probably wouldn't feel threatened anymore, but I still needed something to attract the attention of Master. Keeping the breast size the same as how the adult had it would definitely attract Master's attention as a man.
It seems I can't change and manipulate this body however I wish though as it seems it's still bound to the limit of the original's sizes. I originally thought to match that woman's bust if not even become bigger than her but that currently seems impossible.
Becoming a child with the original's breasts certainly did attract their attention though. I couldn't just change my look and act like how I did before though, I had to change my behavior as well. Acting like a child has it's perks though.
There are many things I can get away with simply by saying that I didn't know better or such.
From what I can tell he truly believes my mindset is that of child, though that woman might have seen through me it matters not. It even seems like she'll play along as we could get a win win situation. As long as master believes it I can get away with quite a lot. As a child I could even go to places where only Master would be able to go since he had to "take care of his child."
That woman is quite scary though, she seems to be able understand what I'm doing and why.
From master's emotions I can felt how important this woman is to him. Though part of me wants for that position to switch over to me and only me. Maybe I could devour this woman and become her to take her place, but I know that would greatly sadden him if he ever found out. But then what about my current body's disappearance.
Such a risk is something I'm willing to take, but I need more planning. Maybe I could think of a better situation where she doesn't have to die.
'Oh! Perhaps if I can find out how to split myself into two and be both her and me at the same time! No that involves her death, perhaps I can find a way to transform into them without devouring her entirely. Yes, that seems like a good plan!'
Glancing over my eyes met hers, I smiled and waved before continuing to swing Master's hand around. It's so warm!
Thinking of a great memory which this body's previous owner had I released my little hand's grip on Master's finger and quickly moved in front of him. Raising my arms toward his neck I felt this was self-explanatory as to what I wanted.
Before Master could answer that woman came towards me with obvious intentions to lift me up. I backed up a few steps before throwing a little tantrum.
"No! No! Zheng Da wants daddy! Zheng Da wants daddy!"
The woman immediately froze and I saw as her eye twitch a few times.
"U-uh! Zheng Da! What did I tell you about calling me that!"
Hearing his words I took it as the cue for my next part.
"A-ah da-d Papa papa, I'm Sorry!! *Sniff* *Sniff*" I slowly lowered my arms for dramatic effect as I made my eyes teary and pouted.
"Ah! No, no Zheng Da stop crying. I didn't mean it like that! Uh, I'll cheer you up! Look, look I'll lift you up just like you wanted!"
His warm hand caught under my armpits and lifted me up onto his chest. I wrapped my little arms around his neck and hugged tightly, making sure my breasts would take up most of his attention for the time.
"Yay! Daddy! Uh, Zheng Da means Papa! Don't yell at Zheng Da, pwease Papa! Papa!"
"O-ok ok, you're so strong Zheng Da! Come on let go of me or at least don't hug me so tightly. Please?"
"Hehe, I'm strong! Hrrr!" Like that I hugged him even tighter.
"Ah, please please, Zheng Da let go."
"Hmm, Okie." When I released him I heard a sigh of relief escape his mouth and knew my plan worked.
Looking at the woman nearby she still looked over at us gently, but I knew underneath she probably fuming. I shouldn't antagonize her too much though, after all we're gonna be a "Family" for a little while.
"Mama! Papa! Huggies!"
I gestured for her to come over and she gracefully did so. With that group hug I seemed to gain a little forgiveness from her. From there we went onwards to that city in the distance. Such a big place would surely have many opportunities to be a little mischievous as their "Daughter."
