Chương 5: 003: Pearl House, Return to Seventeen_1
Before the voice had completely faded away, Mu Qingli immediately spoke up, "Yes, I agree to bind."
Although Mu Qingli didn't know where the voice came from, she knew that if she said she was unwilling now, she would miss a chance at rebirth.
Her great vengeance unavenged! She... couldn't die!
[Congratulations on a successful binding! You have become the 8888th master of Pearl House, and I am the guardian spirit, Little Baba, pleased to serve you.]
"Am I dead?" Mu Qingli looked at her nearly transparent hands.
[Yes, you are dead.] The blue pearl transformed into a wisp of virtual form and spoke with a smiling face.
Mu Qingli looked at the wisp of virtual form and spoke indifferently, "I'm dead, and you seem happy?"
The tone was faint, but it was tinged with an inexplicable sense of bloodlust, sending chills down one's spine.
Happy! Of course happy, if Mu Qingli didn't die, Little Baba wouldn't have had the chance to become a guardian spirit at all. Without becoming a guardian spirit, it wouldn't have had the chance at rebirth either.
But upon hearing such a response, Little Baba's fragile little heart quivered, and it promptly removed the smile from its face, demonstrating a strong will to live: [No! I am very sad! How could you die so young? You are truly pitiful!]
To prove its sadness, Little Baba even squeezed out two tears.
Little Baba had originally thought about showing the new master who's boss, but it hadn't expected the new master's aura to be overwhelming, at two meters eight! Instantly obliterating it!
Society! Society! Can't afford to provoke them!
Sure enough, having been dug out for her heart to cause death, such malice! Such hatred! Could make someone die hundreds of times in a minute!
It might as well act a little more cowardly... and be an adorable spirit.
Mu Qingli rubbed her temples gently and then asked, "Can you really help me be reborn?"
Upon hearing this, Little Baba immediately perked up to its utmost, [For real for real, Master, the Yin Family never deceives! You have to try your best, and crush that fake female protagonist next door...]
"Fake female protagonist?" Mu Qingli slightly frowned.
Little Baba rested its chin on its hands and explained, [It's that Mu Lanke! No, she should be called Gu Lanke now! No, you can prevent her from becoming Gu Lanke!]
A glimmer of light flashed in Mu Qingli's eyes as she slightly squinted, capturing the important information in the middle of the sentence, "Are you saying, Mu Lanke also has a guardian spirit?"
Just?
Are you sure you want to use 'just' to describe it?
[Master...] Little Baba looked at Mu Qingli with particular grievance, [Are you sure you want to use 'just' to describe such an adorable member of the Yin Family?]
If Little Baba knew that, in her heart, Mu Qingli was thinking of it as an 'it' under a bridal veil to describe how adorable it was, it would surely cry to death in a corner!
Mu Qingli glanced down at it, "How about... lump?"
Little Baba's body shook, and it said sheepishly, "...You should use just."
Hmm, according to the information it knew, 'lump' was supposed to describe... poop.
Humph!
Was there such an adorable poop?
Mu Qingli withdrew her gaze and continued, "Does Mu Lanke also have a guardian spirit?"
Now that she thought about it, the reason Mu Lanke was able to deceive everyone so smoothly and take her place as the young lady of the Gu Family was not only due to her own efforts. There was another force cheating for her. Otherwise, Mu Lanke alone could not have had it so easy!
Little Baba nodded.
[Yes, Mu Lanke also has a spirit as wise and adorable as the Yin Family's, only hers is a villainous spirit, the kind that walks the crooked path. The Yin Family is different though; our spirits are born from a righteous lineage, soft, cute, and reliable, Master. You are really lucky to have met the Yin Family, from now on, dominating the universe will no longer be a dream.]
Saying that, Little Baba arrogantly raised its cute little head.
It was indeed from a noble line!
Good and evil are not the same!
"And the cost?" Mu Qingli asked again.
[What cost?] Little Baba looked at Mu Qingli with a face full of question marks.
"The cost of rebirth." What is lost must be gained, Mu Qingli still understood this principle. Little Baba had been beating around the bush for so long, probably trying to steer the conversation to this topic.
This Mu Qingli, indeed a clever person.
Little Baba's face lit up with a smile; it really did not choose the wrong master!
[First, you need to find a way to bring down that fake female lead next door. In the process, you must earn lots and lots and lots of morally righteous money to provide nourishment for Pearl House. In the end, you will achieve true rebirth!]
"Is it that simple?" Mu Qingli raised her eyebrows slightly.
[Simple... is it?] Little Baba frowned slightly.
Keep in mind that not only does Mu Qingli have an opponent who's hacked life, but she also has to earn lots and lots of money!
Is earning money easy?
Is tormenting the reborn fake female lead easy?
Does this host wish to defy the heavens?
Mu Qingli didn't continue the conversation but instead said, "When can I be reborn?"
Feeling the host's eagerness for revenge, Little Baba pinched its fingers and then squinted its eyes: [Let cute Little Baba calculate the best opportunity for your rebirth.]
After calculating for a while, Little Baba put down its fingers and said to Mu Qingli: [Master, I've worked out the timing for you. Now, close your eyes.]
"Mmm." Mu Qingli nodded her head and slowly closed her eyes. She felt her body gradually begin to float.
In the end, she was pulled by a powerful vortex, tearing through...
It hurt, it hurt so much. It was even more unbearable than the pain of a heart being gouged out.
Mu Qingli hadn't recovered yet when a violent knocking sound rang in her ears.
"Knock knock knock..."
A rough female voice, accompanied by the knocking, penetrated the air, "Xiaoyu! Ah no... Qingli! Mu Qingli! Wake up quickly!"
Then, a young girl's voice followed, delicate and whiny, with a hint of discontent and envy, "Mom, stop calling her. She doesn't appreciate her luck in birth. Why don't you let me go to the Mu family instead? Please, Mom? I love you most, Mom..."
Next came an angry female voice, "What nonsense are you talking? Qingli is the Mu family's own flesh and blood. What would you be going there for? To be their maid? Even as a maid, they might not even want someone like you!"
"I..." The young girl's voice fell silent, her hands twisted together, seemingly wronged.
Indeed!
How could she not feel wronged?
She and Su Xiaoyu had grown up together—Su Xiaoyu was a city child, about to be taken back by her urban parents to enjoy a life of comfort.
As for her.
She could only stay in Hua Mountain, the child of ordinary peasant parents.
She felt not only wronged but also unwilling!
Ever since childhood, Su Xiaoyu was like her servant, doing this and that for her. Now, in the blink of an eye, Su Xiaoyu had climbed above her!
The country bumpkin Su Xiaoyu had become Mu Qingli, the wealthy daughter. Su Zhenzhu was indeed burning with jealousy! She wished she could stab Mu Qingli to death and take her place to enjoy the benefits of the Mu family's fortune.
"Qingli! Mu Qingli! Did you die in there?" Seeing no response from inside, the peasant woman knocked even harder at the door, her voice already very impatient.
