[Deep Tooth Branch]

Principal Daislin was waiting in the rest area with Nash, who was in the form of a parasite,

while the Nash entity, the size of a fingertip, squirmed back and forth on the seat, seemingly uncomfortable with his body shape, though he was, in fact, a parasite.

Daislin also perceived his discomfort and suggested, "William asked you to maintain the form of a parasite, didn’t he? Doesn’t he want you to reveal your original human form? Then why don’t you transform into another human form?"

"That makes sense!"

With that, Nash’s body began to swell, and not wanting his identity revealed, he even changed his gender.

Messy brown hair spread out, with some falling onto his back while some covered part of his face.

A skinny and even malnourished frame, yet with a pair of bright, sparkling big eyes.

He looked like a poor girl aged 15 or 16, even his voice changed.

This humanized form even slightly piqued the principal’s interest. Without stargazing, it was impossible to discern that this was a disguise, and the girl Nash had transformed into even elicited a sense of pitiable vulnerability that made one want to cherish her.

She reached out to pinch Nash’s chin and studied his face.

"Quite nice~ Completely feminized. Do you often adopt this form when you are with William? Or does he ask you to accompany him in this form?"

"The boss doesn’t have that kind of hobby, and I’m not very fond of a feminized body. Although it’s light, it always feels like it lacks balance without that tail-like thing," Nash replied.

Daislin used the opportunity to start a personal conversation about William, "By the way, how is William’s status in your circus? He must be a newcomer. Rapidly advancing to become one of the chiefs must have drawn a lot of discontent, right?"

"No, no, no! You’re underestimating our boss. Although William is a newcomer, his appointment as a chief was universally acknowledged by the whole circus.

Moreover, the other members get along very well with the boss and often invite him to hang out at their places.

In all my years at the circus, I’ve never seen anyone as popular as the boss."

"That’s quite impressive."

"Of course, our boss is one of the successors to the owner!" Nash said, brimming with confidence.

Just as Daislin was about to ask more in-depth questions, tap tap—a sequence of footsteps approached, belonging to two people. Besides William, there was also an unfamiliar entity following him.

Snap~ As she closely discerned that unfamiliar aura,

the principal and Nash both felt a toothache feedback, even feeling their teeth suddenly twitch.

"Hmm? This is... an Old World dentist!"

Both of their gazes turned toward the corridor,

where a dentist with a shoulder-length white hair and a mask was walking out beside William.

The dentist’s white specked pupils also immediately noticed William’s ’friends’ who were waiting here, and like a scanner, swiftly deduced the identities of the stargazer and the parasite, his interest increasing even more.

William quickly introduced him, "This is Jessica the dentist, from the Teeth Hall~ For some reason, she will be crossing the sea with us."

"What reason?" The principal asked, arms folded across her chest and glancing sideways.

"Due to the special nature of my body, regular physical examinations cannot be performed and would take a week to complete. Jessica will complete this process during the sea crossing."

"Oh~" Daislin did not pursue further, "Then let’s go. Having this dentist accompany us will indeed make the crossing much more convenient."

As Daislin stood up and walked towards the door,

Nash moved in the opposite direction, stepping up beside the dentist and sniffing around her with flared nostrils.

"She really is a dentist, facing fewer restrictions on world crossing than I do~ Impressive! No wonder the boss managed to have such a dentist accompany us, it’s getting more interesting."

Nash then reverted to his parasite form in front of them, crawling into William’s brain through his ear.

This scene startled Jessica, who was not fond of speaking, but a voice emanated from under her mask, "You dare allow such an amoeba that devours brains to parasitize in the brain area."

"Nash is a good person, he won’t mess around. Let’s go, Doctor Jessica, we still need to find a ship for the sea voyage."

"I’ll have people arrange that;

we can just go directly to the ferry terminal."

"Thank you."

The Deputy Chief Dentist in such human colonies had absolute dominion, with a single order the entire city would mobilize.

Upon hearing that she would be joining the sea voyage, the port city immediately provided the best vessel available,

based on the human ship frame, combined with a special gum infection and an arc bacterial smear to finally form the infected cruise ship—Big Gums.

The bottom of the ship was completely transformed into gum tissue, wafting with numerous dental nerves,

As long as the captain connected the nerves to the control room, all the dental nerves could be manipulated to swim through the water, or whirl rapidly like a propeller, boasting far more flexibility than normal vessels.

Moreover, the cruise ship did not require any fuel;

in the center of the ship’s bottom, there was a large mouth that periodically swallowed marine life to obtain biological energy.

Additionally, the ship’s hull was covered with barnacles, and in public areas like the deck and cabins, water overflowed above the ankles, with fish and shrimp swimming within,

Such deep sea components were effectively recognized by the ocean, not only avoiding engulfment but also receiving occasional boosts from the waves.

Moreover, Big Gums was staffed with twenty experienced crew members, who would accompany everyone on this sea voyage, currently all standing on deck welcoming the arrival of the three individuals.

All crew members were Tooth Fairies, though their bodies were more or less infected with arc bacteria, their bodies were damp and even housed several species of eels moving beneath their skin.

William went directly to the captain to ask a crucial question,

"Has this ship ever reached other continents?"

"Distinguished guest, rest assured, we have been to all the continents.

Although we may encounter unavoidable deep sea effects along the way, with you few Silver Circle Patients on board, there won’t be any major issues.

May I know the destination of your sea voyage, which continent?"

William did not answer directly but walked to the very front of the deck, facing the ocean. As a strand of hair turned completely silver, he slowly raised his arm and pointed in a direction.

"This sea voyage does not have a specific destination for now, just proceed in this direction. If there is any change in direction, I will notify you immediately."

"Okay, then please proceed to the cabins to rest. Today’s voyage is solely for the three of you;

you can call our crew at any time if you need anything."

Under the guidance of the crew, they arrived in the cabin area, which included various luxurious suites, albeit water-soaked, yet meticulously cleaned, with electricity also being supplied normally.

"Principal, for safety, should we stay together?"

Facing William’s suggestion, Desline shook her head,

"No need, my Stargazing Skill can foresee any danger in advance. You have a time-consuming medical examination, right? If we live together, might I interfere with your examination work?

I will stay alone next door, and if I detect any danger, I will notify you."

Before William could respond, the Principal had already entered the opposite suite, locking the door and setting up a Star Barrier.

William could only shake his head slightly, turning towards his own suite, "Doctor Jessica, shall we stay here?"

Jessica was unmoved, and slowly uttered from behind her mask, "I have a high standard for medical examinations. The Amoeba parasite in your body is a very unique neurotic parasite, which could potentially affect the examination results, even causing significant deviations. I suggest separating it first, and then continuing to maintain your parasitic state after the examination."

Click~ the door locks.

A disheveled Nash was left in the water-soaked corridor,

Grinding his teeth, full of unwillingness.

But the boss’s order could not be defied, and he could only bow his head and enter the adjacent suite.

Fearing that his boss might be used as a chew toy by the Old World Dentist, he spent nearly 60% of his time each day with his ears pressed against the wall, attempting to overhear any sounds from the next room.
