Reincarnated as an Energy with a System Chapter 740: A Husk

"You're not going to teach anymore?" the princess asked with a blank look. "Are you not going to visit anymore?"

"I will have to leave this country in a week," Ning said. "But that doesn't an I won't co to visit you. It will just be… a little longer each ti."

The princess wasn't exactly sad, but she was still feeling bad about the news.

"Your teacher has his own life, Janice," the king said. "He will now go and teach other students just like you."

"Is that so?" the princess asked.

Ning nodded.

"Okay," the princess said. "But you have to fulfill your promise first."

"My promise?" Ning asked.

"You said I could et with slimy today," she said.

Ning sighed and chuckled a bit. "Okay, I will go get him. You go stay in your room."

Ning left the palace and disappeared into the night. When he reappeared, he was on the island with the beasts and saw the sli speak with the beasts.

"Oh you're back?" the sli said. He didn't think Ning would return so quickly.

"The little girl wants to see you. Do you have the ti?" Ning asked.

"Uhh… I guess so. I don't have anything particular going on," the sli said.

"Let's go then," Ning said. He touched the sli and they. Ning appeared directly in the princess's room, scaring Joann to the side.

She had been feeling a little jumpy since the princess disappeared on her own, but she cald herself quickly.

However, when she saw the floating piece of a blue blob, a pair of daggers appeared in her hands as she got ready to attack.

"Calm down," Ning said when she saw her stance. "This is the sli."

"SLIMY!" the princess shouted and grabbed onto the sli. Her hands practically sunk into the slimy, but the sli managed to manipulate itself so that her hands were now outside of it.

"Oh, hello little girl. We et again," the sli spoke in perfectly understandable words. He was a little glad that he still understood the language despite not being bonded with the princess.

"Teacher, thank you," the little girl said and started laughing as she played with him for a while.

Ning looked at the princess and smiled.

The sli, having an adult soul with relatively adult mories, didn't like playing with a little girl, but he did accept it for now as this was the only way to interact with the humans.

"Co, let show you to my parents," she said and jumped off the bed before running away out into the hall.

Ning wanted to stop her, but when he thought about it, it was perhaps better for the sli to talk to them. So, when the sli did eventually co around, here again, he would have soone to rely on.

In a way, they would have soone to rely on too.

Ning didn't want to leave them just like that without protection, and he couldn't think of better protection than a Rank 10 beast.

The princess returned not long after with the sli floating by her side. Ning looked at the blob-like sli and thought for a mont.

The sli was going to be with the princes for a while, and it didn't look like he would enter Rank 10 anyti soon, so he decided to help it a little to interact with the humans.

He talked with the system for a bit and created sothing.

As the others focused on their own things, Ning had sothing erge on his hands.

"Joann, can you take the princes out for a bit?" he asked.

Joann didn't understand why he had said that, but she did as he asked. She took the princess outside and left Ning and the sli together.

"Here, wear this," Ning said as he dropped sothing on the bed.

When the sli saw what it was, his first instinct was to vomit. Human flesh and bones lay in front of the sli on the bed like a dead body.

The lean and thin body had barely any muscles from what the sli could see, and worse of all, it was the corpse of a child.

"What is this?" he asked seriously.

"Sothing I made for you," Ning said and was surprised to see a look of disgust on the sli's face.

Only then did he realize what it must have looked like from the sli's perspective.

"Oh, don't misunderstand. It's not a corpse. It's a body I made. You can go in there and puppeteer it from the inside. I made it exactly to fit your body," he said.

"So you didn't kill anyone?" the sli asked.

"No," Ning said. "In fact, this body you see of mine is similar to this to a certain degree."

"Is that so?" the sli asked, before slowly moving towards the body in front of it.

When it saw its face, the sli hesitated a bit. This was the body of a child.

"Why a child?" the sli asked.

"Your body volu isn't big enough otherwise," Ning said. "I can't give you an adult body. You will have to rely on your Rank 10 reward for that."

The sli still hesitated, but the explanation for the body was acceptable, so he shrunk his body and went in.

The sli entered through the mouth, sliding throughout the entire body as the lifeless husk slowly started standing up straight.

Ning watched uncomfortably as the body moved unnaturally before the sli fully got in and took over it completely.

A slight blue hue perated throughout the skin like the child was sick or sothing, but other than that, it looked like a normal child.

That was until the child opened his eyes and the translucent blue sli body was visible through it.

"This… this is good. I can move like a human," the sli said as it moved around in its new body.

He turned to Ning. "Thank you."

"It's alright," Ning said. "Try not to keep your eyes open when you can though."
