Chapter 407: Yellow-haired Woman |
"I'm actually telling the truth," Jake said, his expression shifting slightly. "Even though I trust Edgar Frost's tech, I still can't shake the feeling that something might go wrong."
Misty smiled and walked over to him. Seeing her approach, Blair quickly scrambled to her feet and slipped on her dress, clearly embarrassed—she hadn't expected Misty to come any closer. Misty then sat down beside Jake on the bed.
"I know you are worried. That's why I didn't bother you all this time," she said gently. "But the truth is—Amber has been dying to try out her new body."
She added, "I will hand over to her now," and without warning, her body went stiff. Her pupils dilated, and the energy around her shifted. Though it was still Misty's body, it was clear she was no longer in control.
Jake and Blair exchanged glances. That eerie grin spreading across Misty's face didn't belong to her. Amber was in charge now.
"Amber?" they both said at once.
They knew her well. Amber was the creepiest and most fearsome of Misty's personality—if given the chance. But since Misty rarely allowed her to take over, most people had no idea just how wild she could be.
"Yes?" Amber replied with a sly smirk. "Did you miss me? Misty has kept me locked away for so long... I feel like—eating you right now," she purred in a sultry tone.
Jake and Blair glanced at each other again, and Jake chuckled.
Amber froze mid-motion, her lips just inches from Jake's cock. Her face turned bright red.
She quickly stood up, trying to regain her composure, though her embarrassment was obvious.
"Y-You idiot! Why would you have to humiliate me in front of her?" she huffed, shooting quick glances at Blair.
"I'm going to make you pay for ignoring me all week—and for not giving me my body like you promised! Prepare for punishment!" she declared, suddenly wiggling her fingers ominously in the air as she moved toward Jake.
Jake's face went pale.
"Wait, no—Amber, don't—!"
But it was too late. Amber launched a tickle attack, expertly targeting his weak spots. Jake writhed and burst into uncontrollable laughter, thrashing around on the bed.
"Hahaha—stop! That's so ticklish!"
"Give me my body—body—body~!" Amber sang as she tickled him mercilessly.
Unable to take it anymore, Jake jumped to his feet and bolted out of the room. Amber cackled and chased after him without hesitation.
Blair blinked in surprise as she watched them disappear.
'I've never seen honey act like that before…' she thought. 'No matter how hard I try, I don't think I can ever pull that kind of reaction out of him. That woman is amazing.'
Little did she know—Amber had been using fine strands of Ki to enhance her tickling the entire time.
----
After Jake couldn't handle the tickling anymore, he finally agreed to transfer Amber into the body as promised. Though skeptical and unsure whether to trust him, Amber's yearning for a body outweighed her doubts. As an ancient being who had been sealed away for ages before ending up inside Misty, she had little understanding of how advanced modern technology had become—or what it was even capable of.
Amber laid down on a massage bed, and Jake secured her in place with straps, just in case something went wrong.
"Are you nervous?" Jake asked, tightening the last strap.
"Of course I'm fucking nervous. Not because I'm afraid of losing a piece of my fragile soul or even dying," Amber replied. "But because if something goes wrong, my selfishness might end up hurting Misty."
"I get it. I'm skeptical too," Jake admitted. "But I trust Edgar's tech. We have to stay positive, Amber."
He then pulled out a sleek black cylindrical device from his inventory. One side of it had a faint ring engraved on its surface, and the other was equipped with a small screen.
'Edgar Frost said to place the circled part on Misty's skin… but what if it sucks Misty's soul instead of Amber's?' Jake thought, a lump forming in his throat. 'I'll never forgive myself if that happens.
Just as he was about to activate the device, the door swung open and in came all his women, their faces full of worry and curiosity—especially Jill, who stepped forward first.
"We heard you were about to give Amber a body," she said. "We rushed here as soon as we found out. We want to witness everything."
Her concern as a mother was visible unlike the others. She only knew Amber as one of Misty's personalities. Transferring her into a separate body sounded more like fantasy than science.
Jake nodded quietly and turned back to Amber. He powered on the device and pressed the circled part gently against her forehead. He could have chosen any part of her body, but something about the head made it feel more precise—more hopeful.
The device whirred to life. On the small screen, a red "0" lit up.
Then came "1."
"5."
"10… 15…"
The numbers climbed slowly, or maybe it just felt slow because of the tension gripping the room. Jake held steady, keeping the device firmly in place. As the number reached 60, it shifted from red to green… then cyan… and finally blue.
[98]
[99]
[100]
The moment it hit one hundred, a loud click echoed through the room. Amber's body went limp.
She lost consciousness on the spot.
Everyone's hearts skipped. The device didn't glow or vibrate or pulse—nothing. Just silence.
Jake looked down at the device, his hands trembling. "Is it broken?" he muttered. He turned to glance at the others, but they were all staring back at him, their eyes sharp with concern.
Suddenly, without warning—just like the warper balls had done before—the device jolted out of Jake's hands and began spinning violently mid-air. Sparks of electricity danced around it as it hovered.
Then, slowly, a figure began to materialize. From the toes to the legs… and upwards.
Right before their eyes, within mere seconds, a woman with long golden-yellow hair took form—completely naked and floating mid-air.
Just as her body began to fall, Jake instinctively stepped forward and caught her.
