Chapter 205 - Exchange (1/2)

Hao Xuan smiled looking at the cute octopus, ”Sever!”

His palm lit up for an instant, before returning to normal. The smile on his face froze as he saw Fortis wriggle around like jelly on his hand.

”Stop!.....tickles...” an immature, slightly high-pitched voice came from the octopus.

”T-Tickles?!” Hao Xuan repeated, shocked.

Fortis briskly moved his fat head up and down.

”I-I severed away a god's clone from right under him and there was nothing he could do, but it just ”tickled” this b*stard?!” he thought inwardly. Not accepting the result, he tried again.

”Sever!”

This time his palm glowed like a bulb for almost a second. Fortis's eyes slanted in pleasure and his body jiggled around while his tentacles tightened their grip around Hao Xuan's hand.

The result was the same. Fortis seemed to be enjoying the sensation as he looked up at Hao Xuan, ”AGAINN!”

”.....get off my damn hand!” both angered and annoyed, Hao Xuan jerked his hand trying to get rid of the small white octopus but was unsuccessful. Instead, Fortis seemed to take it as a challenge and with a wriggle of his nine tentacles, he shot forward with incredible speed, planting himself onto Hao Xuan's head.

His tentacles wrapped around his forehead and neck, firmly cementing himself there.

”NO! AGAIN!” a little voice shouted again excitedly.

Hao Xuan turned black and blue when the tentacles tightened so much around his neck that they were cutting off the blood supply to his head.

He tried to force open his tentacles but they didn't budge an inch.

”O-Oi, stop, you're killing me you lunatic!” he screamed inwardly while flopping around like a fish out of water.

Fortis saw the unusual movements and quickly loosened his grasp.

Hao Xuan took the opportunity and swam back up, jumped out of the tank and took several deep breaths.

”What the hell is wrong with you! You almost killed me, you moron!”

”No! You!” Fortis retorted from above Hao Xuan's head. It seemed to be his go-to comeback.

”Whatever, get off my head,” Hao Xuan repeated resentfully.

”No!”

”What the hell you mean no? Get off my damn head at once!”

”NO! Mine now!”

”Y-Yours? How is my head now 'yours'?!”

”Is mine now. New home!” Fortis replied happily.

Hao Xuan yanked and pulled with everything he had, only managing to rip off some of his own hair.

He was on the verge of crying now. He went in expecting to get a powerful new creature to serve under him, instead got this slimy b*stard in return.

He gave up and slumped down beside the tank to regain his strength. He still hadn't completely healed from the earlier interaction in the tank when all those tendrils entered his body.

Fortis didn't say anything either, simply laying on Hao Xuan's head lazily while playing with his hair. For such a strong and unique creature, he sure seemed to be amused very easily.
