Chapter 73: I found a way that might work for me!

"Mirror!" Nagina shouted out loud, as fast as she could.

A mirror, more like the usual screen with a reflective surface appeared right in front of her. Without even wasting  a second, she stared in to the mirror, her nerves tensing in an anxious bunch.

A young girl, of around age 10 or 12 with hair as white as snow that shimmered and shone like a spider thread  looking as if it was made up of finest silk, sat on the stone staring back at her with eyes as red as the fireball.

The long silky strands of the white hair hung loosely from the side of her face and covered her bare chest, acting like a natural shield that protected her body from the outer gazes.

Nagina's eye travelled to her slim waist which widen as it went below. While the body above the waist  part remained human, the variation appeared from there.

Instead of split limbs like of human, her bottom half emailed the same, a snake tail that was covered in shiny and smooth scales which perfectly reflected the lights that fell on it.  The only difference was that, it was only wider and flexible than before to support her new found body.

She blinked twice, her eyes had suspicion as she was unwilling to believe what she saw in the reflection.

Nagina reached out her hand to touch the fragile looking yet extremely adorable creature in the reflection. In response, the figure in the reflection copied what she did and reached out to Nagina in the same way.

When her hands touched the mirror, so did the reflection do.

Both paused and stared back at each other in silence as if they were measuring something.

"This…This is me?" She looked at her reflection flabbergasted, finally accepting the truth that she had indeed evolved in to a higher being from her past self.

Her current form at the moment was that of  half snake girl, in other words a Lamia.

'This form…." Nagina raised her eyebrows in an arc in a questioning manner while observing herself, this time to rate herself.

"It's not that bad. Me Likey." She let out a soft sneer and heaved out a sigh of relief. She finally understood why her defense was -1 according to the evolution-cultivation system.

"Is it because I am way too cute?" She finally felt like smiling again.

.

"Host, I have evolved in to a Lamia." Nagina composed herself and informed to Le Fang ling who was staring at her with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"Hmm, I can see that." Le Fang Ling tried her best to stop herself from bursting in to flames as she was blushing hard looking at the cutie in front of her.

"And I can also see something.. cough.." Le Fang Ling averted her eyes from the pure flower that was just starting to grow and bud.

"Umm.. cough. I think we need to get you something to wear." She took in deep breathes until she felt her nerves calm down.

She let out a relieved sigh when she was finally able to calm herself down.

"Oh, clothes?" Nagina looked at her naked upper half body and nodded her head. 

"But I think I am okay walking around like this." She stood up from where she was seated and started to gather the hairs in a cluster and was about to throw them back when she was stopped by Le Fang ling.

"No, don't do it." Le Fang Ling stared at her with a stern gaze.

"But it's itchy and feels uncomfortable." Nagina complained in a childish voice. She was not used to having fur touching her skin so it felt pretty uncomfortable to her even though the hairs were practically smooth and silky to touch.

"…." Poor girl. Le Fang Ling could sympathize with her as she too was not accustomed dot having longer hair but with perseverance she was finally able to accept hair as a part of her body and not just complicated tangle of telephone wires.

But, although she could sympathize with Nagina, Nagina could not sympathize with Le Fang Ling and understand her current state.

"You are trying to set off a time bomb that even you are not aware of." She warned Nagina with a knitted brow. A few lines of wrinkles could be seen on her forehead, indicating her protest against this idea of Nagina.

"Uhh.." Nagina quickly scanned her body and found that her host was indeed  having abnormal reaction to her new form.

"It's not abnormal reaction silly girl. It's absolutely normal. Oof.." Le Fang Ling sighed in her heart.

"If you are uncomfortable then…" Nagina did not want to lengthen this matter further so, she decided to simply take the easiest solution to this problem.

She used a few codes to make herself a new clothes that could cover her body from top to bottom.

A set of binary codes and digits appeared all round her body and within a few seconds, a layer of fabric appeared on her, clothing her sensitive and private parts.

[You have used the remaining stored energy for converting data in to fabric.]

[Stored energy not enough for the amount of fabric ordered.]

[The dress would be made according to the fabric that was available.]

The voice went beep beep and Nagina started to glow in a bluish green color.

"It was only able to cover this much huh?' She looked at her flat chest that was wrapped around by a beautiful white silk, matching with her hair color.

To top  it off, the silk was able to highlight her smooth baby skin, making her look like a pure snake goddess.

"Well, nothing is better than something." Nagina was happy with the result she got and looked up at Nagina.

"Hmm, much better." Le Fang Ling nodded her head in approval at the dress she was wearing. It was neither too revealing nor too suffocating.

By this moment, Le Fang Ling had calmed herself down from all the shock, surprise and excitement she had from seeing the Lamia form of Nagina.

"Since, we are all done here, there is an important piece of information that I need to share with you."  Le Fang Ling sat crossed leg on the grassy ground and looked at Nagina.

Hearing the seriousness in her voice, Nagina did not waste any moment and went to sit right in front of Nagina.

Like a cautious hunter, Le fang ling scoured the perimeter to check if they were alone or not.

"Activate a barrier so that no one can eavesdrop on what we are saying." Le Fang Ling requested Nagina when she still had a feeling that they could be heard by someone else.

If the luck was shit, even the trees and rivers could hear their secret and spread the rumor all around and, Le Fang  Ling knew that her luck points sucked.

"Request has been accepted." Nagina nodded her head and in a protective shield in the form of a hemisphere appeared around them and covered them.

"It's a transparent barrier. Even if someone was to see us like this, they will not hear the content of the conversations." Nagina assured Le Fang Ling about the durability and flexibility of the barrier.

"Good." Le fang Ling nodded her head in approval of it. She looked at the barrier once again and after making sure that they were indeed good, she turned back to look at Nagina.

"Nagina." She leaned forward until she reached Nagina's ear. Placing her lips on her ear, she whispered in a mysterious tone.

"I found my mother."

After saying what she wanted to say, she returned back to her normal position and smiled.

"Yes, I met her and I came back after having a long chat with her." Le fang Ling smiled looking at the surprised expression on Nagina's face.

"What? But, wasn't she supposed to have disappeared right after giving birth to you?" Nagina clearly remembered the conversation between the old lady and her host inside the memoryscape.

"Yes, there is that too but…" Le fang ling chewed her lips while thinking about the possible reasoning and outcomes while she tried to make sense of things.

"But, that was her part of the story." She pointed out.

"While no one knew where she had been, some thought she ran away and some even thought she was as good as dead, but all this time she had been hiding in one of my spiritual dimension." Le fang Ling shook her head at this discovery that even left her surprised.

Nagina was understanding the things a little but most of the facts were still like a riddle to her.

"I find it hard to believe you." Nagina showed her doubts as this was simply way too big piece of information.

"I knew  you would say that." Le fang ling curled up her lips in a smile as if it was the thing she was waiting for.

All of sudden, her body started to glow in a purplish aura just like the time when she faced against An Cheng.

"This will help me to continue my cultivation without any problem." She raised her palm and looked at the dancing vapor of the purple aura and smiled, "All thanks to the mom."
