After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 344 - 124: Partner, You Can Actually Transform into Human Form!_3

"It’s a fact," Yemengade corrected, and then her pretty face took on a cautious expression, "Ahtal, you don’t have any schemes against me, do you?"

"Hahaha... We’ve only just met," Ahtal chuckled lightly, then shook his head, "Schemes need to be based on understanding, and I certainly don’t have any thoughts of targeting my partners."

Yemengade: "..."

The man beside her was a conspirator from the Church of Death, the most troublesome existence for her, as she wasn’t good at manipulating conspiracies and had previously crushed all plots and schemes with brute force.

"You’re trying to revive the Monster Witch, and I’m here to help the Witch of Death," Xi Mu said with a gentle smile, "Essentially, we’re the same. It’s just that you’re for the Monster Witch, and I’m for the Witch of Death, so you needn’t be so wary of me."

"Hmph, who knows if what you say is true or false?" Yemengade snorted lightly, looking at Ahtal’s gentle smile, and her expression of vigilance relaxed slightly.

This wasn’t her letting her guard down, but Ahtal’s gentle and sincere smile, combined with a face she found quite handsome, didn’t allow much hostility to rise.

Monsters sometimes do care about appearances.

"I would be quite sad to be doubted like this," Xi Mu said with a wry smile as Yemengade showed an apologetic expression.

He generously shook his head.

"You will understand me better over time."

"Perhaps there won’t be a next time," Yemengade murmured. She was to become the vessel for the Monster Witch’s revival. The next time she met Ahtal, the person there wouldn’t really be herself, but the Monster Witch Tifeng, who created countless monsters.

Xi Mu pretended not to hear and turned to say:

"The Church of Death has already cleared out a country, enough for you to carry out the Monster Witch’s revival ritual."

"Will your horse participate too?" Yemengade asked, obviously aware that Ahtal had a mount that was a monster, the legendary steed Sleipnir, who was also a contender for being a vessel for the Monster Witch’s revival.

"My partner will not participate," Xi Mu shook his head and replied, "She’s not interested in being a vessel for the Monster Witch’s revival."

"It’s not surprising that Sleipnir would make that choice," Yemengade nodded slightly, and then seemed to think of something, "By the way, what is your relationship with Sleipnir, and why does she agree to follow you, a human?"

Xi Mu answered immediately: "Of course, we are partners."

"Nothing deeper?" Yemengade asked incredulously, her beautiful eyes wide, "Sleipnir is a beauty, don’t you have any interest in her?"

"A beauty?" Xi Mu paused for a moment, and met Yemengade’s eyes, "Partner, you can transform into a human form?"

"As one of the top-tier monsters, how could she not transform into a human form," Yemengade answered matter-of-factly. Xi Mu fell silent for a moment, then directly summoned the little mare, and stood up to touch the mare’s neck.

"Partner, do you know Yemengade?"

"..." The little mare glanced at Yemengade and lightly nodded her head; she certainly knew Yemengade. They had fought to a draw in the past and knew each other very well.

"Partner, she says you can transform into a human form." Xi Mu feigned confusion and asked the little mare, "Is that... true?"

Little mare: "..."

"Hmm?" Yemengade became interested, covering her mouth with her hand, "Sleipnir, are you saying that you’ve become so useless you can’t even transform into a human anymore?"

Her eyes curved into crescents.

"After so many years, you’ve become more and more useless."

"..." The little mare, annoyed, scraped the ground with her hoof, then turned to look at the questioning Xi Mu beside her, feeling an urge to kick this troublemaking snake to death.

"Sleipnir, why don’t you speak?" Yemengade rose to her feet and approached the little mare, "Could it be that you can’t even speak anymore?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She wiped away nonexistent tears.

"Ahtal, I’m telling you..."

"Shut up!" The little mare could no longer bear it and lashed out with a hoof but was dodged by the alert Yemengade. She immediately realized something was amiss.

She turned sharply to look at Ahtal and saw that he was looking at her with a shocked expression.

"Partner, you can talk!" Xi Mu asked in surprise, "Why didn’t you say anything when I asked you before?"

"Probably because she feared a love story between a human and a monster," Yemengade said with a beaming smile, "Sleipnir unexpectedly..."

"Yemengade!" The little mare charged at her, but was dodged by the wary Yemengade. The two top-tier monsters began chasing and escaping across the boundless sea, although the little mare was genuinely trying to give Yemengade a beating.

There was no need for Yemengade, an outsider, to reveal whether she could talk or transform into a human.

Seeing this, Xi Mu smiled and sat back down, watching Yemengade and the little mare tussle. In fact, he had known all along that the little mare could transform into a human and could speak. However, watching her persistently keep the secret was amusing.

So he had always not exposed it on purpose, and only now did he bring it up, elicting an amusing reaction as expected.

A few hours later.

"Ahtal, your house’s horse kicked me," Yemengade said, putting down her hand from her pretty face, revealing an obvious hoof print, "As Sleipnir’s owner, shouldn’t you give me some compensation?"

"If what you say is true, I’ll treat you to a good meal," Xi Mu maintained his smile, watching the reluctant little mare walk over, and asked:

"Partner, may I see your human form for a moment?"
