Out of All Transmigrations Why a Weasel

'Wet rodents'

Feeling a little embarrassed for a reason he didn't know, Tai Yang shook his head to try and clear his vision.

After he was able to see, he saw a clearly worried Long Ling above him. This made him even more embarrassed them before somehow. Not only was this boy pure as a angel but he was also now his savior. This was confusing in a way that could not be explained even though it was easy to understand.

"Taiyang!" Long Ling said in a worried but urgent tone. "Are you okay?! Is all the water out?! Can you breath?!"
Seeing the boy so worried, Tai Yang instantly felt guilty. He nodded his head hurriedly to calm the boy down. It wasn't like he was lying either. He could indeed breath. having gotten all the water out.

Though his lungs still had ghost pain from the stress they just went through. Making it so it felt like he was still drowning.

Long Ling lifted Tai Yang up and looked around before hiding him in his robes. A little stunned, it took Tai Yang a moment to poke his head back out.

From what he could see it looked like the canal had tossed him into a fountain. The fountain was the same lion fountain from before. It was a male lion with its cub. They had had the water was flowing out of the male lion's mouth as it was roaring.

The fangs of the lion had dulled due erosion. Though it did not make the lion look any less impressive and fearsome.

Admire the lion fountain Tai Yang did not notice that Long Ling was currently knelling in the exact fountain he was admiring. He was on kneeling on both knees holding and holding onto the lion cubs head. Making his light brown, dirty robes a dark brown and soaked through.

Seeing this Tai Yang started squealing at the boy. Trying to get him to stand up and get out of the fountain.
He shouldn't be kneeling in the fountain anymore. Tai Yang was clearly fine. He was even warm from being in the boys' robes.

A second realization hit Tai Yang released he was also soaked to the bone. Because he was currently soaked to the bone he was making the little boys robes even wetter.

It was bad enough that the boy was from the knees down getting wet because of him but getting him wet because he was soaked just felt so wrong. The pure child had done so much for him and all he had done was running away and accidentally case him trouble.

Long Ling was confused at why Tai Yang was squealing at him but none the less he get out of the fountain. Only then did Tai Yang stop Squealing at the boy and hoped out of his robes. Not waning to get them more wet.

He would have done so sooner but he would have just landed in the fountain again and that would be backtracking and completely useless. Tai Yang started to shake himself like a dog to get dry - feeling vary stupid while doing it - when he was suddenly picked up again.
"You ran away once already. I'm not letting you out of my sight again." The boy stated before shoving Tai Yang back into his robes.

This made the gilt grow inside of Tai Yang. It shouldn't have been a big deal that he ran away. He had planed to return to the boy but there was the issue of Cai Huang being able to turn into a small rodent also. Which in the end stopped him from returning sooner. Even before the Cai Huang issue the two men did also drag there feet. Making him stay there longer then intended.

One question arose though. Why was Long Ling on the rich side of town just where he happened to be. The boy was supposed to be collecting strawberries for his and his sister's oatmeal.

Not wanting to diminish his view of the pure boy, Tai Yang tossed the thought away. Not wanting to even know why the boy was just in the right spot to save him from drowning.

Being put back in the boys robes, Tai Yang heard Long Ling mumbling about how weasels and other animals like him are supposed to be good swimmers. Still, the boys eyes shown relief.
