Huang Rong's chameleonlike ability

[pannonian]

Has anyone else noticed this remarkable ability of hers? In wuxia, does anyone else have a prehensile tongue? From ROCH chapter 2 - A Friend's Son:

The two laughed and joked, but secretly they were on the guard as well.
They looked around, and by a pond they saw two “Soul Freezing Silver
Needles”. One of the needles was half submerged in the pond, the ponds
eighty or so gold fishes’ white bellies were facing up. It was the deed
of the poison of the needle. Huang Rong stuck out her tongue and broke
off two pieces of twig from a tree and used it to fish the needle out,
and then placed it in her gown sack. The two searched everywhere, and
then saw the two eagles and eventually met the boy.

It's like the trick question - "can you stick out your tongue and touch your nose"

What HR was doing sticking her tongue out at this precise point in time I don't know. In chinese it also sounds like she's using her tongue to pick up the twigs.... 黄蓉伸了伸舌头，拾两段断截树枝挟起银针，取出手帕重重包裹了，放入衣囊。

This action is supposed to be cute. Done my cute mischievous girls.

That's my guess.
