Chapter 7: Jin [ II ]
When the rodent realized it shouldn't have spoken, it began to sweat. Although its fur didn't show it, its small body could feel it.
Its paws gripped the sheet of Xiao Ling's small body. Its eyes dilated, moving its head from side to side, not knowing what to do.
Xiao Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but surprise turned to curiosity.
'A talking rodent?' Tilting her head sideways, Xiao Ling pondered in her mind.
'I can't rule out magic, cultivation, or anything like that, if I reincarnated in this world and the old woman's warm voice in the light from before, including the voice I heard when the light entered me after my birth, all that tells me... I'm in a world that has to do with any of it. Then, a talking rodent is nothing strange...'
It's as if the rodent could hear what she thinks, that when it saw her expression, it calmed down he kept talking.
"In this world, it is not uncommon to see rodents, but they are not as handsome as me, or as smart as me, worse than valiant as me, so don't compare me with all those bunches of rodents, besides, there are many things I don't understand from what you said, but of course you are not a normal baby...
You're destined to do many things, but I don't know where you will start, but anyway... I am your companion from now on. I will guide your journey from now on. You just have to follow me and everything will be fine! "Nodding in satisfaction after it finished its speech, he did not notice Xiao Ling's expression.
At first, she was in shock because the rodent could hear what she was thinking, but, after a few seconds of listening to him, she realized that this is not a handsome or intelligent rodent... He is a rodent... Chatty... Narcissistic... And shameless rodent...
Rolling her eyes, Xiao Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Should she be happy because someone could hear her thoughts? Or should she be sad because this rodent talks too much?
'If you can hear what I think, that's fine, but who are you? Where do you come from? What are you doing here? How did you get here?'
Xiao Ling decided not to worry about anything else for the moment other than the fact that it can hear her thoughts, although she feels it is strange, at the same time it is reassuring.
She will feel lonely if she doesn't talk to anyone for her first years of life...
The rodent did not know what to answer, its father sent it on an important mission because his older brothers were not near... But, as he was born last, he's not given a name, and his father told it not to tell her anything about where it comes from or what it does here, but if anything happens, he must answer...
"I have no name, I don't know where I came from, I came to see the baby that will wreak havoc in the future, I got here because the oracle opened the gate, and sent me here... That's all, you must wait until you grow up to know more... I'm sorry..."
With gleaming eyes, the rodent remembered the emphasis his father gave him. 'Remember to act cute all the time! Make a good impression in front of her...'
Wanting to give the impression of pitiful, the rodent succeeded.
Seeing the little eyes the guinea pig gave her, Xiao Ling felt sorry for him and found that the little guy has no name, so she resolved to take him under her wings, and feed him, forgetting everything else she wanted to ask, such as the oracle, how can he show up here, and about what he mentioned something about the Gate.
She moved her little hands easily and gave him a few pats on his little head. After that, she said in her sweet little voice, which doesn't sound much like a newborn baby, 'From now on, I'll call you Jin.'
'From now on, you will have the name of JIN'. She repeated once again its name.
And that name echoed in its mind and heart.
And so was born the name of the most coveted guinea pig, the most spoiled and the laziest in the entire world, Jin.
The rodent felt he was on cloud nine. 'She has given me a name!' Wanting to jump, but with no space to do so, he refrains his excitement.
But at that moment, the next question that Xiao Ling blurted out in his mind threw him a bucket of cold water.
'How can you hear what I think?' Blinking her eyes, Xiao Ling can't help but tilt her head to the side.
"That... That... That... It is because I'm using magic! I'm a magical creature!" Unable to lie, his narcissistic side came out.
'Ooh!' Xiao Ling with eyes wide open, shining like stars in the midnight sky, her mouth cracks.
Giving side glances at her and noticing her expression, the rodent knew she believed him, but... That brilliance in her eyes scared him...
Sure enough, what he feared happened...
'So, you can do magic?' Blinking her eyes adorably, Xiao Ling felt like she was imitating the rodent when it answered her questions about him from before.
Sweating profusely, Jin didn't know what to answer. Within seconds, his eyes lit up. Being the smartest rodent, he couldn't help but stand up on two legs, and with his front paws tapped his chest lightly.
"Of course, I know magic, but all my magic was used to communicate with you, so now I can only talk." Her stay broke, her eyes drop, and she cozies up to Xiao Ling's side.
This one had no heart to ask her to do magic. The knowledge that his magical powers ceased to exist, and now the only good thing the rodent has is being able to communicate with human speech. Isn't he useless?
Pity that the rodent did not notice Xiao Ling. Still, he did not want to defend himself anymore and just shaking in the middle of the blanket and the little girl.
If he knew the eyes that Xiao Ling gave him, and her understanding of it, that has no magic; leaving him useless. The only good thing is its ability to communicate with humans, that's all it is good for. The rodent would cry on the spot.
What they don't know is that, deep inside Xiao Ling's consciousness, is the light that entered her after she was born. That same light had red lines. Those lines moved and joined, forming the single ruthless red-eye.
"Mhmm, he already made the first move. That kid can't stand to be in the palace any longer... But this meatball is too small for him to have designs on it... He will have to win not only her approval; but that of the Long Clan's as well, that will be troublesome, the blood of this meatball is really pure..."
After muttering that, the eye close and then decompressed, and the red lines returned silently to their place.
