Chapter 108 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

The woman's steps were directed towards Nan Yin, but just as she was about to approach the girl from behind, she suddenly felt as if she had been bumped by something. Puzzled, she lowered her head and realized that she had been collided with by a little boy who came out of nowhere. "Oh… Oh! My toy airplane is gone, it hurts." Before the woman could inquire, the boy immediately clutched his head, wincing in pain. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the boy's head had turned red – most likely from getting knocked by her brooch. "Little one, be careful." The woman smiled, crouching down and gently patting the boy's head. A green light flashed, and the boy felt a cool sensation on his head, the pain vanishing in an instant. A healing ability! The boy's pupils constricted. Such a rare ability… It seemed that the organization was even more complex than he had imagined! However, he was already stuck to the woman's skirt, and he had to… Just as the boy pondered how to free himself, the woman before him gazed at him tenderly. With a gentle touch on his head, the woman's hand exerted a slight force, rendering the boy momentarily immobile. "What's the little brother's name? Let me introduce myself first. I'm Baek Hee." Baek Hee smiled, ruffling the boy's hair. Then, with a light flick of her hand, a sesame-sized rock appeared in her palm, followed by a "crack" as it shattered. Seeing this, the boy paled. He had been found out! He could already imagine the woman quietly killing him and then leaving. After all, he understood that healers were the most knowledgeable about the human body. If they could save lives, they could also take them with ease! But what puzzled him was that the woman simply mussed his hair into a bird's nest and then handed him over to Xiao Lan, who came belatedly. "Is this your child? Be sure to watch over him. He accidentally broke my brooch earlier." Baek Hee smiled, opening her hands to reveal the crushed rock. The boy, seeing this scene, broke out in a cold sweat, and Xiao Lan promptly apologized, bowing: "I'm terribly sorry! I will compensate for it." Baek Hee smiled faintly, leaving Xiao Lan astonished: "No need to compensate." She then glanced behind Xiao Lan and noticed that the girl who bore a striking resemblance to her was nowhere to be seen. Baek Hee's face betrayed a hint of disappointment before she disregarded Xiao Lan and the boy and left. The boy gazed at the woman's departing figure thoughtfully, his large spectacles glinting. No one knew what he was thinking. Nan Yin and Su Xiao Yu forced themselves to chat for a full half-hour until the system finally issued a prompt indicating the completion of psychic absorption. Nan Yin immediately sought an excuse to leave, preparing to find a place to decide which mission reward to select. However, at that moment, Nan Xi, who was beside Su Xiao Yu, caught up with her. Looking at Nan Yin with hope in her eyes, she asked cautiously, "Sister, how did you find the cake from last time?" Arching her eyebrows, Nan Yin didn't understand why Nan Xi was asking this question, but she still stopped and replied, "It was good. Why?" Upon hearing her sister's words, Nan Xi couldn't help but smile and said eagerly, "Then… I've improved several cake recipes since then, not just cherry flavor. Can I make them for you, Sister?" Nan Xi finished speaking with expectant eyes fixed on Nan Yin. Seeing the hopeful look in the girl's eyes, Nan Yin couldn't bring herself to refuse and finally nodded gently, agreeing, "Sure, bring them next time." Nan Xi left happily, and Nan Yin couldn't help but smile and shake her head as she watched the girl's departing figure. This little one seemed to have completely overcome her sulky temperament, hadn't she? Turning around, Nan Yin directly found a maid in the mansion and asked her to find a guest room for herself. Once in the room, Nan Yin immediately locked the door and sat on the bed, opening her system rewards. After completing the psychic absorption task, she needed to select one out of three blessings: Cat Spirit Blessing, Turtle Spirit Blessing, and Wood Spirit Blessing. However, that annoying Can Yin didn't even let her examine the effects of each blessing! Honestly, Nan Yin detested multiple-choice questions the most. But this didn't faze her, so she immediately summoned the versatile Can Yin, who seemed to be sleeping. She was summoned directly into Nan Yin's palm and even stumbled upon arrival, looking as if she hadn't fully woken up. "Hey, wake up! Do you have a recommendation among these three blessings?" Nan Yin arched her brow, looking at the half-awake Can Yin and unceremoniously poking her with a finger. [.!] Can Yin, roused from her daze, then tilted her head in confusion, no doubt awakened in the dead of night due to her fear of making choices. Our little Can Yin had a temper of her own. After eyeing Nan Yin, she pointed directly at the Cat Spirit Blessing. Nan Yin didn't doubt her, choosing the Cat Spirit Blessing that Can Yin recommended. After Can Yin sported a pleased smirk, she promptly vanished. Having selected the Cat Spirit Blessing, a crystal medal with a black cat pattern appeared in Nan Yin's hand. After lingering for just a few seconds, it gradually turned transparent and eventually dissolved into a stream of light that entered Nan Yin's brow. Following this, Nan Yin's mind flashed with information about this Cat Spirit Blessing: [Cat Spirit Blessing: This is a blessing from the Cat Spirit deity, representing the deity's most sincere blessings. Acquiring this blessing grants the ability to transform into a cat spirit. However, due to the gradual closure of the deity's latitude, this effect can only last for 24 hours, requiring 12 hours to recharge after this period.] Nan Yin: ?? What's the deal? After spending so much effort, the reward she obtained allows her to transform into a cat for a limited duration? For a moment, Nan Yin couldn't help but question life. If that was the case, the other two blessings probably weren't any better, right? Was the Wood Spirit Blessing going to turn her into a flower, and the Turtle Spirit Blessing into an old turtle? Persistently doubting life, Nan Yin had already made her choice and couldn't change it, so she quickly adjusted her mindset. Becoming a cat wasn't all that bad. At least she could use this form to infiltrate certain places without attracting attention…? Alright, Nan Yin couldn't even convince herself of the usefulness of transforming into a cat spirit. She had no choice but to first see what this Cat Spirit Blessing entailed. Regaining her senses, Nan Yin immediately used the cat spirit transformation. As soon as she did, she felt her vision darken and then realized that her perspective had lowered significantly. Nan Yin tried to walk, only to stumble and fall. It was clear that she didn't adapt to walking on all fours… Unable to do much, Nan Yin had to adapt in place. After a full ten minutes, she finally managed to awkwardly coordinate her four legs to walk. At this point, she clumsily leaped onto the room's dressing table. Looking at herself in the mirror, Nan Yin couldn't help but tilt her head. It had to be said that this cat spirit form was quite cute. The entire cat was black and white, with four black paws, and paired with her teenage cat eyes, she indeed looked adorable. However, appearance wasn't Nan Yin's concern. After trying for a while in the room, she had to admit that this cat spirit was just an ordinary cat, revealing no special abilities despite its name... But there was one benefit – Nan Yin discovered that there were no clothes left behind when she transformed. This meant that her transformation encompassed external items as well. After considering it, Nan Yin transformed back into her human form, the entire process taking less than a second, and as she had expected, all the items on her remained. Excellent! A hint of satisfaction appeared in the girl's burgundy eyes. From now on, she had an additional means of infiltration and escape.
