You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter 44: The Angelic Face and Demonic Body
Just as Tang Zisu was lost in thought, the little rabbit's red eyes suddenly took on a strange blood-like hue. It opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp, pointed teeth that sank into Tang Zisu's throat. Shu Que Wu Pan.
Underwater, Kong Xuan felt a sudden tightness in his chest, his dark brows furrowing together; this was the scent of the Crimson Blood Rabbit!
"Roar!" A wild howl echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth. Ning Che's mirror-like lake surface erupted like a fountain, and Tang Zisu trembled in fear, instinctively throwing the little rabbit away.
The snow-white furball traced a beautiful arc in the air before being swallowed by the roaring beast.
This creature was truly extraordinary; if it had the body of a tiger, that would be one thing, but it also had a human face. The problem was that with such delicate features and soft skin, it could swallow a rabbit whole—its body and face were completely mismatched. This angelic face with a demonic body was enough to scare anyone to death!
"I'm going crazy; I must be going crazy. Someone tell me this isn't real."
The only response was a roar that resembled a tiger's growl.
Tang Zisu felt as if she had entered a broken world where nothing made sense; everything happening here was more surreal than anything she could imagine. Looking at the face before her, Tang Zisu stammered, "Hi, buddy, heh heh."
The monster's light-colored pupils were as transparent as glass. It gazed at Tang Zisu and slowly spoke, "Master, I will grant you three wishes. Please command me."
"Master? Three wishes? Wait, you can talk? Are you Aladdin's Lamp or the Sphinx?"
The monster furrowed its delicate brows, a spot of vermilion red appearing at its brow. "Horse Abdomen, I am Horse Abdomen."
"Horse Abdomen? The Horse Abdomen from the Classic of Mountains and Seas? One hundred and fifty miles west, there is Mount Manqu, rich in gold and jade, with bamboo arrows below. The Yi River flows out from there, flowing east into the Luo. There is a beast there, named Horse Abdomen, resembling a Human-Faced Tiger, its sound like that of an infant; it eats people."
Tang Zisu was almost impressed with herself; under such circumstances, she managed to quote the Classic of Mountains and Seas without collapsing. It was simply remarkable!
"You offering me blood from a creature with fur makes you my master. Speak your wish, and I will fulfill it."
At this moment, Tang Zisu felt as if she were in a fog. She stared blankly at the noodle-like young monster—no, Strange Beast Mafu—and thought to herself how she had truly broadened her horizons. A day of crossing over had given her more insight than three years of university. Was this good luck or bad luck? Wait, it said it could grant me three wishes; actually, one would be enough. Just send me home! No, three wishes—let's first have it spit out the souls of those people. But who could tell me if souls could really be casually spat out and swallowed?
Taking a deep breath, Tang Zisu said, "Horse Abdomen, did you swallow several people's souls?"
Horse Abdomen's voice was dry and flat, reminding Tang Zisu of a machine's prompt: "Just say what you want to do; saying one sentence wastes a wish."
Damn, are you monopolizing this industry? What a tyrannical clause!
"Then return those people's souls." She had already used up two wishes with just one sentence.
Horse Abdomen did not respond but opened its mouth to expel six white light spots. The light spots hovered and collided in the air, making Tang Zisu feel that Zhang Ermao was truly foolish to the core.
"Go." Horse Abdomen opened its mouth again and released a torrent of energy; in an instant, those small light spots vanished.
Tang Zisu wanted to ask if they had returned, but now she only had one wish left. She suppressed her curiosity and stated her final wish.
"I want to return to the world I came from."
