章 9: I like you 3
Author: Read the auxiliary chapter in volume 0 first
----------
Inside the Li household's weapon stash. Doing her thing, a young noble was having the time of her life.
That young noble was little lady Shaolan. She was having fun, and was perhaps going a bit overboard.
Spears, swords, knives, bows... Shaolan slowly removed items she deemed useful from the crates and lockers. Then, with an amazingly fast devouring gesture, she sucked them into her body.
One way or another, everything she absorbed became part of her. A part with a purpose or a multipurpose.
Shaolan accomplished all that with a queasy smile not departing her lips. The same smile she had ever since the guard closed the door behind her.
She was rejoicing. Disgustingly so.
She had power in her second life. Purchasing power. She'd been hopeless on the road of strength...
But now, through her fusion skill, she was officially opening that road.
... The road to a safeguarding, warriorlike strength.

Minutes later.
Feeling her new body, Shaolan marvelled. She had taken on several new properties and abilities.
Heaviness, iron, steel, sharpness, were a few. The power to pierce, thrust like a spear were others. She could do that with most parts of her body.
Shaolan could now transform part of or her whole body into the items she'd absorbed just now. Doing that wasn't necessary to use the skills. It was mostly variety or utility in the hands of others.
Shaolan didn't intend to get used as a weapon or an armor yet.
She was an armored, weaponized missus without doing this. Harming her was already difficult. It would be more so after she trains.
Though she obtained odd abilities just now, they could get better when her own strength improves. Or when better items of the same type are devoured.
It wasn't a cultivation world, still. So the chances of her finding 999 different types of steel or ginseng was impossible.
Cultivation worlds were their own weird thing. With her ability there, Shaolan could get a godlike body before cultivating, probably. She wasn't disappointed or envious, though. With her fusion skill, she could make talking and running ginseng wherever she was.
Earlier, when she absorbed the bow and the arrows, another curious thing happened. Shaolan was a projectile too. Meaning that she could use her body as a bow to shoot arrows. Those arrows would come out her body and could be made of any, all materials inside her.
The base shooting power and velocity was the item's. The upper limit was influenced by Shaolan's training here as well.
Strength spoke for everything.
Her evolved fusion skill was actually unbalanced like that. It was not very fair. The way she used her skills was limited by her talent and intelligence.
Leaving the room to conduct tests and train later, she was greatly satisfied with her new skills. The ones she could think of, at least... But she headed towards the kitchens first. She needed to make a quick and furtive stop there.
Shaolan couldn't get her hands on heavy artillery yet. She recalled fire nation military ships using explosives.
For now, she would do with an ancient, pizza-like oven to totally transform the body's previously fragile heart.
There was no size limit to what Shaolan could devour or fuse.
With an oven-like heart, and oven like blood vessels, she was sure no accident would happen during harsh exercise. It would also bring her some more fire resistance, though she probably already had a good basis right now with all the steel she stole from her father now.
"Wait, isn't that gold?" On the way out of the storage room, Shaolan delayed. Her eyes moved to the handle of a spear she'd randomly thrown.
Furrowing her brows, she raised her hand. Looking at it turning gold, she shook her head and sighed.
Her fusion skill's shortcoming was her brain. It looked like she needed to devour someone smarter than her one of these days.
Shaolan had never killed anyone in her two past lives, but she'd seen people around her kill. Often for her in her second one.
She wasn't too soft, so she was ready to dirty her hands when needed.

Minutes later.
When Mai found Shaolan to tell her that her mom and the doctor were waiting for her, Shaolan's face turned a bit blue.
She was so happy with her newfound body skills that she had forgotten about something important.
----------------
"What's wrong?" When they walked back together from the kitchens, Mai asked her sister. Shaolan was naturally scared of her doctor. To her, he was the constant reminder of her vicious disease.
Mai just didn't think that now that Shaolan was healed, she would still make such a face.
Staring at her sister suspiciously, she waited for her to answer.
The next thing she heard, shocked her.
Shaolan looked at her seriously and said, "Mai, can you kill for me? I'd absolutely kill for you."
