Demon Palace, bedroom
"Daddy, where's the kitten~?"
"The kitty is missing..."
Luo Hongye lay under the bed, his bright big eyes looking back and forth, trying to find the figure of Shadow.
"Ye Ye, the kitten might have run away somewhere again."
Ning Yechen smiled lightly and cooperated with Luo Hongye, accompanying her in searching the room.
"Daddy, will the kitten run away somewhere and never come back?"
Luo Hongye got up from the ground, pouting and saying sadly.
Usually when she looks for a kitten, the kitten always appears secretly...
"Don't worry, Yeye. Nothing will happen to the kitten so easily."
Ning Yechen touched Luo Hongye’s little head and comforted him.
He doesn't even know that there is a place in this world where the shadow can never return...
But it is indeed strange that Shadow has not returned for so long...
"The kitten may have run outside, shall we go look for it outside?"
"Maybe the kitten is just hanging out outside."
Ning Yechen gently touched Luo Hongye's little head, took her hand and asked.
“Hmm~!”
"Go find the kitten~"
Luo Hongye nodded, and took the initiative to pull Ning Yechen out of the bedroom with small steps.
As soon as they left the palace, they encountered a woman who walked crookedly and with an extremely uncoordinated body walking towards them...
"Daddy..."
Luo Hongye hid behind Ning Yechen in fear, revealing half of his face.
Ning Yechen frowned slightly and looked at the approaching woman with a puzzled look.
The woman had silver hair and red eyes, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Luo Ruying, but she walked like a zombie, as if her body was not hers...
"puppet…?"
Ning Yechen asked.
He is familiar with almost everyone in the Demon Palace. If an unfamiliar person suddenly appears, his first reaction is probably that the puppet has created a new body and appeared in front of him.
Strangely, it seems that Gui is not so used to his new body this time...
“Master Demon…!”
"Yes, it's me."
The shadow raised its head and looked at Ning Yechen with anticipation, wanting to share the body it owned.
However, in Ning Yechen's eyes, there was no change in expression on Shadow's face, and even his eyes were dull and lifeless.
Ning Yechen stared deeply at the woman in front of him and tried to guess:
"shadow…?"
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that Ning Yechen had guessed its identity, Shadow quickly nodded happily.
"Master Demon, I, I have a body now!"
"How about it?"
After saying that, Shadow turned around in front of Ning Yechen, showing off its beautiful figure.
As a result, due to the lack of coordination between legs and feet, he fell to the ground again in embarrassment...
Ning Yechen: "..."
Ning Yechen looked at the shadow lying on the ground, struggling to get up like a robot, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Why did this guy suddenly get a real body...
"Shadow, this body may not be suitable for you..."
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yechen finally spoke up to persuade him.
It can be seen that Shadow's body is extremely uncoordinated and is not suitable for controlling a real flesh body.
Staying in this body would only limit its expertise and capabilities.
"Isn't it suitable..."
Not hearing Ning Yechen's praise, Shadow lowered his head, looking very lost, twisted his body and slowly turned away, leaving Ning Yechen with a lonely back...
Ning Yechen looked at the departing shadow, his expression thoughtful.
Ever since Shadow followed him, it has been following him everywhere in his daily life, like a pet, never leaving his side.
Its mind is like that of a child or a small pet.
It's rare to see it in a bad mood...
This time it seemed like it was looking forward to coming to him...
…
On the hillside behind the Demon Palace, Shadow sat on the grass with his legs curled up, staring blankly into the distance with his lifeless eyes.
Although it successfully possessed its own body with the help of the puppet, it could not fully control this body...
Not only did he not receive the praise from the Demon Lord, he also made a fool of himself in front of him...
Even if it tries hard to control this body, it can't be as flexible as a puppet...
After all, this doesn't really belong to it...
Thinking of this, Shadow couldn't help but feel even more disappointed and depressed.
"Why do you suddenly want to get a real body?"
At this moment, Ning Yechen suddenly sat next to Shadow.
Shadow turned his head and looked at Ning Yechen, lowering his head and said:
"Because I want to touch the Demon Lord like everyone else and play with the little princess..."
"What? Just because of this?"
Ning Yechen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Even without this body, can't you still touch me?"
"Even without this body, aren't you still Ye Ye's favorite little kitten?"
"But... if you have a body, you can feel touch..."
Shadow explained.
As a ball of shadow, it has no senses, so it cannot feel cold or hot, let alone the touch of others.
That's why it wants a body of its own.
"So, can you feel the touch now?"
Ning Yechen stretched out his hand and asked.
Shadow slowly placed his hand in Ning Yechen's palm and shook his head in disappointment.
"No…"
It does not integrate the soul into the body, nor does it merge with the body's nerves and meridians. It is just stuffed into the body, so naturally it cannot feel any senses.
"If there is none, then why should we be so attached to this body?"
"This body doesn't look right or like you at all."
"With this body, you can't cling to me like before, and you can't turn into Ye Ye's favorite little cat, right?"
"This is something that no one else with a body can do~"
"This is the unique you~"
Ning Yechen smiled gently, stared at Shadow with his eyes, and said softly:
"So, come back~"
Shadow had been with him for many years, always clinging to him like a pet. If he suddenly lost it, he would be hard to adapt...
"Master Demon..."
The shadow stared at Ning Yechen blankly, then without hesitation, it quickly crawled out of the body and turned into a shadow that intimately wrapped around Ning Yechen.
"That's right~"
"Let's go, she's still looking for you every night."
"Without you, she will be sad every night."
Ning Yechen touched Shadow's head and smiled.
Shadow understood what he meant, and immediately transformed into a black cat in Ning Yechen's arms, rubbing Ning Yechen's hand affectionately, and responded happily:
"Meow~"
It figured it out. It doesn't need any body. It is also the unique shadow of Lord Demon, and the favorite kitten of the little princess~!
