Shui Wa: "None of these three are normal. They're all shamelessly brazen."
Jun Jiu Li: "Hiss, hiss~ All trash."
"Heh heh, ●v●" (holding back laughter jpg)
"The original host's wish was to protect her parents and herself."
"Going by your usual habits, why didn't I transmigrate into the original host's body and fight that so-and-so Si."
"You're a little early. Right now, the two of them are fiercely vying for control of the body. If you jump in, this body won't be able to handle it. So, I can only ask the little snake... no, ask the host to bear with it for a bit."
"Let's go."
"Go where? To the hospital?"
"Idiot, do I need to ask?"
"You've gotten bad, how can you call me an idiot? How are you going to get there? Crawling would take until tomorrow."
"..."
Jun Jiu Li coiled herself on the sofa in the hospital room. The person on the bed writhed restlessly.
Zhao Jin Si sensed the foreign presence, but at this moment, she couldn't afford to be distracted by anything else.
A red ball of fluff jumped onto the hospital bed. In its hand, it carried a small box containing a recently deceased mouse.
It muttered a spell, and a black substance emerged from the forehead of the person on the bed, directly entering the mouse's body.
Zhao Jin Si was bound all over, unable to break free. Panic surged within her; her Jun Yi was about to be snatched away.
How could she possibly stop this in her current state? Helpless against everything happening, she could only passively accept it.
This mouse was picked up by the Puppet on the road when it brought Jun Jiu Li over. Its neck had been bitten off by a stray cat.
Shui Wa had traded ham for the stray cat. This mouse was dark and plump, its fur matted with grease and slop, emitting a foul odor.
Ever since Zhao Jin Si entered the new body, she had been struggling incessantly, feeling her life draining away.
She only had this one life to live, so she cherished it exceedingly. She had been extremely selective when choosing a physical body, only to end up in a mouse.
Her heart crumbled, yet her body repeatedly slammed against the side of the box. She needed to escape this place to find a way to live; a powerful enemy was here.
Having gone through so many reincarnations, she couldn't recall how many people she had killed or how many she had offended.
No matter who it was, the debt owed today would be repaid a hundredfold.
Protected by the box, Shui Wa couldn't smell the stench. It curiously brought its face closer, causing Zhao Jin Si to collapse in terror.
Acting on instinct as an animal, Zhao Jin Si repeatedly told herself not to fear Shui Wa, that she was an immortal, yet her body couldn't stop trembling.
Shui Wa was larger than her, covered in fur, with two small ears. It looked very much like a cat.
"Who exactly are you? Stop playing these tricks. When did I ever offend you? Why are you humiliating me like this?"
"Squeak squeak... squeak squeak."
"System, I disdain listening to your rodent babble. You're dirty and smelly, and I'm afraid of catching some contagious disease. I'm going to take you to a nice place, and you'll be ecstatic."
"Let me go, let me go!"
The unknown was more terrifying. Shui Wa dropped a healing pill into the box. Zhao Jin Si sniffed it cautiously before eating it, and the bleeding stopped, saving her life.
A while later, Shui Wa rode it and flew to Gu Jun Yi's large villa. Opening the box, it roughly tossed the mouse onto the floor.
"Little mouse, hide well! Don't get forked out by the Gu family's servants on your first day."
After saying that, Shui Wa left. The noise immediately alerted the servants to investigate.
"Did you hear that sound too?"
"Yes, let's go check it out together."
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Zhao Jin Si endured the pain and scrambled to find a hiding place.
The room was too large and empty, with no good places to conceal herself. After a long search, she finally reached another room. With all her might, she leaped.
She jumped onto a low stool, and from there, onto the table. Hiding behind a pile of books, she tucked her tail away and dared not move.
The servants turned on the light and discovered the dirt on the floor.
"The boss is a neat freak. Who cleaned this? So careless. Even though the boss doesn't come to this room often, you can't be this perfunctory."
"That's impossible, it was spotless when I checked earlier."
"Whatever, let's just mop the floor first."
"Do you think something dirty got in here? There's also a foul smell in this room."
"Don't talk nonsense at night. We'll do a thorough cleaning tomorrow."
"You're right."
As they spoke, the two went to fetch supplies. Zhao Jin Si immediately darted out and ran into the bathroom. It was too late to clean herself.
She could only wipe her four paws on a mat, leaving no dirt visible on the outside, and then shrunk herself and hid in the toilet bowl.
Zhao Jin Si vowed that she had never been so humble. She had to reunite with Gu Jun Yi quickly and see if there was any way to possess another body.
The two servants followed the tracks all the way to the bathroom. They flushed away the water Zhao Jin Si had soiled and even washed their hands with disgust.
"I bet a dirty mouse got in, and it's quite clever."
"We'll need to call more people tomorrow to catch it. Such a big thing, who knows where it's hiding. This villa is so big, it'll take a long time to find."
"We cleaned so thoroughly, how could a mouse still get in? If Mr. Gu sees this, he'll definitely be furious."
"Being angry is the least of it. If he gets unhappy and fires us, it'll be dire. Be thorough and spray more disinfectant. Why is this dead mouse so vile, always going to places it shouldn't?"
Zhao Jin Si was infuriated. These two lowly humans dared to discuss her like this. Once she reunited with Jun Yi, she would make them pay dearly.
"Hey, say, the mouse disappeared after coming into this bathroom. Could it have gone into the toilet drain? Mice love those dark, damp, and disgusting places."
"You know what, that's very possible."
As they spoke, their gazes simultaneously turned to the toilet bowl. Zhao Jin Si, having remained in the jade pendant, cared about nothing other than Gu Jun Yi's affairs.
Therefore, she had no idea what a toilet was. The two men were already approaching the toilet.
"If I open it, will the mouse suddenly dart out? If it makes too much noise and disturbs Mr. Gu, that would be bad."
"I have an idea."
Zhao Jin Si heard their conversation and knew she had been discovered. Her heart leaped to her throat.
She forced herself to calm down, adjusted her breathing, and tensed her limbs, ready to break free.
Having suffered from a lack of education, all her focus was directed upwards, waiting for the two to open the lid so she could escape.
Unexpectedly, a powerful suction force came from below. Her four paws gripped the smooth inner wall of the toilet bowl tightly.
Yet, she was still sucked in, her entire body enveloped in filth. She couldn't breathe, and couldn't see anything.
