Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse 『Liskook』

Chapter 20

After I opened my eyes, the world seemed different from the world of the past. Surprisingly, my vision was excellent; I could see a far distance away as if it was right beside me. My sense of smell was also really sensitive. The taste of soil, the smell of grass...and at the moment, there was something fishy in the air.

I blinked. My body felt a little odd; I tried to stand up with shaking legs, but instead of the two I was used to, there were four of them. Four furry claws. I raised my "hand" up to take a closer look, and what I saw was startling. This...if I wasn't wrong, this species was called a tiger. I turned and looked at my back. There was a long body, a furry ass, and a white tail with a nice pattern.

I was startled for a moment. Then the memories began to come back. Oh! I fell into the Well of Animals and reincarnated into, surprise surprise, an animal.

Animal!

I buried my face into my claws.

Great insult, ah; this was a great insult!

A great existence such as I, a cloud fairy, was turned into this state! I bit back my bitter tears. My broken heart and sadness would not change the fact that I was turned into an animal. Still, I was totally disheartened, stupefied for days. My heart felt sour. Then I realized that Jungkook had also been turned into an animal, something with four legs, and my mood turned better.

Well, Heavenly Emperor Li, you arranged this. I thought: let's see you make an inspiring love story out of two animals that couldn't even talk. Go on, I'd wait.

I sighed, pleased against all odds. Suddenly, something bit my neck and I noticed the smell of a tigress. My "mother" had come...

Perhaps it was instinct that, though the tigress' fangs were at the back of my neck, I was not wary.

With a little more force, she would have easily bitten me to death, but I let myself dangle from her mouth. The tigress brought me back to our "home" without letting me touch a single blade of grass the entire time. There were two of my siblings playing there. Seeing that the tigress had returned, they walked circles around mother, begging to drink milk. The tigress put me down. I was lazy and lied down exactly where she put me, acting as if I needed help to eat. My siblings, on the other hand, immediately scrapped around mother. I looked at mother's hairy belly, and bitter tears felt down my eyes. I stayed at the tigress side and shivered. Suddenly, my back felt warm. A warm and strangely comfortable feeling climbed down my back. I turned and looked in dismay. The tigress extended her tongue and licked my hairy forehead .

I was startled at being licked. In the time I was shocked, she licked me from head to toe. Finally contented, she touched my head as if to say: "En, I'm done, you can go play."

So, like this I was actually...being belittled by a tigress...

Although I knew that she was just using her tongue to comb my hair, I...I...I burst into tears. When I was in the Netherworld, why didn't I drink that Soup of Oblivion?

I hobbled over to her belly with an extremely conflicted heart. Looking at my siblings suckling while my own tummy was rumbling, I closed my eyes, bent my head and leaned over the belly. Such a life was also an experience.

After living for a few days like this, I came to my senses. Though I was an animal now, that didn't prevent me from practicing. I could cultivate and become a demon! Then I could live a decent human life! The problem was that even if I practiced a great deal, cultivation would not let me become Yue Lao temple's fairy again. I would just become something parallel to that. And, when I practiced before, I would only increase my cultivation, so I didn't have a clue how to start. I hung my head and sighed.
