The Almighty Diva: Reborn to be Worshipped

Chapter 4: The Beast Within the Master



Let's turn to Jichuxing's story.

After leaving the Wen household, she didn't really have any specific place to go. However, she had no desire to stay in a place like the Wen household. At the same time, she felt sorry for the original body.

The original Jichuxing, in her past life, had jumped off a building in despair at the age of twenty-something, never having experienced a shred of warmth from her mother. But this time, her soul had possessed the original body when she was seventeen, just half a year after coming to the Wen household, after she had fallen into a swimming pool, developed a high fever, and lost consciousness.

None of those tragic accidents had happened yet.

In her past life, the original body had been too preoccupied with the lack of maternal love that spanned her entire childhood, which led her to endure all the humiliations in the Wen household. She cared so much about Zhou Ru, even though it wasn't her fault, and had to bear the dissatisfaction of her birth mother. She had to endure the bullying from Wen Lihyang without a word.

In her past life, she had been misled by Wen Xinyue, committed a grave mistake, and was eventually sent away, resulting in the paralysis of her legs, and ultimately, she could only end her life by jumping off a building in despair.

Abandoned by her birth mother at the age of four, she yearned for maternal love more than anything else, even her own life. That's why she was so afraid of being sent away and endured everything silently. But what good did it do, no matter how well she did?

She had won international dance awards, but always wore a mask. All those so-called awards and honors were attributed to Wen Xinyue, the socialite of Nan City. She was merely a pawn in Wen Xinyue's game to win people's hearts. No one knew her real name.

Now, Zhou Ru's real daughter was dead, and the one living in her place was a perfect human created in a laboratory from another world—another Jichuxing. This genetically engineered creation had no parents, with the old professor being the only person she was close to, who was said to be the founder of the laboratory in the other world.

She grew up in the laboratory, with no time to experience the outside world. Her high intelligence rendered her almost robotic in her emotions. People feared her as a monster and dared not approach her, but they had to obey her due to her unparalleled power.

Reflecting on it now, that so-called laboratory explosion might not have been an accident.

Reborn in a place where technology was still at a rudimentary level compared to her lab, she wasn't the real Jichuxing, but in a short time, she had experienced the joys and sorrows of the original body. This was new to her, but since she was using this body, she would make sure to live a good life for both the original Jichuxing and herself, and not repeat the same mistakes. Of course, her arrival had already rewritten the original body's fate, and those tragedies would not happen.

She wondered if the old professor would find someone else to play with after she left.

However, Jichuxing quickly gleaned from the original body's memories an important realization about the new world—a crucial premise: money. The original body's problems, in the end, were because of a lack of money.

"Hmm..." Jichuxing rubbed her chin. "I need to make some money first."

Away from the Wen household, the lingering resentment in her dissipated. Those negative feelings were just remnants of the original body's last emotions. Jichuxing rummaged through her backpack and was hit with a bolt from the blue!

Her backpack contained only two dollars!

Jichuxing's little cowlick stood on end!

But then again, the original body had never had much money. Six months ago, when her grandfather fell seriously ill and passed away, she was brought back to the Wen household. The medical expenses for her grandfather had depleted almost all their savings, leaving her with only a few thousand dollars. In the past six months, she hadn't used a single penny from the Wen household and had saved every bit, leaving her with just two dollars.

Oops... not quite.

There was also five hundred dollars, earned from distributing flyers, which she had left in a drawer in her bedroom at the Wen household. She had forgotten to take it with her when she left.

This was truly a terrible situation.

Jichuxing decided to go back and retrieve the five hundred dollars.

The Wen household's villa was on a mountain, and although she had walked a distance, it wasn't too far. Bo Yanchen's car soon caught up with her.

"Sir... it's that young lady," Fang He couldn't help but say.

Despite spending over twenty years in the Bo household and witnessing their internal conflicts, Fang He still felt pity for Jichuxing. He had heard about Mrs. Wen bringing back her daughter from her ex-husband. While others praised her for her kindness, he knew that Miss Ji hadn't had an easy life, as evidenced by today's events.

"To bully a young girl like that, the Wen household is absolutely shameless!" Fang He said indignantly.

Bo Yanchen smiled. "A girl with no support, abused by her own mother. If Old Ji were aware of this, he would be turning in his grave."

Fang He: "…"

Sir, while you make sense, something feels off about that statement.

Jichuxing was squatting on the ground, counting her coins, planning to return to the Ji household to get her money, and then use the five hundred dollars as capital to make a billion. After that, she would retire, enjoy her old age, and travel the world.

Hmm! She wanted to travel the whole world!

Everywhere she went, she would buy a big villa and live a carefree life!

While she was making plans in her head, Bo Yanchen saw a girl who had been badly bullied, sitting there in dejection.

He felt a pang of sympathy and stopped the car beside Jichuxing.

Interrupted from her thoughts, Jichuxing was a bit annoyed. She turned around and saw a handsome man through the car window.

She blinked, instantly adopting a more docile look.

Hey! A walking ATM!

Though her face was pale and had a bruise on her forehead, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and her small, delicate face gave off a pitiful vibe.

Bo Yanchen sighed softly. "Kid, get in."

Jichuxing puffed out her cheeks and didn't move.

How dare you call me a kid! You may be good-looking, but I can still punch you!

Bo Yanchen continued, "This is on a mountain. If you don't get in, you'll be walking until dark."

Jichuxen: "Hmph."

Bo Yanchen found it amusing and glanced at the handful of coins in her hand. "You can't get a taxi here."

Fang He, hearing his master's coaxing tone, felt as if struck by lightning.

Jichuxen tilted her head and thought for a moment. "If I take a taxi, how much would it cost?"

Bo Yanchen, who had never taken a taxi, looked at Fang He, who answered, "Probably two or three hundred dollars."

The previously hesitant Jichuxen immediately jumped into Bo Yanchen's car, her actions swift.

Fang He was stunned.

"You asked me to get in for a ride; it's not like I got in on my own," Jichuxen said, sitting properly with her hands folded on her knees, reminding him politely.

So, don't count it as a taxi fare, okay.

Bo Yanchen was also taken aback, then, seeing Jichuxen's obedient demeanor, he couldn't help but laugh. "Kid, are you also a tightwad?"

Jichuxen didn't respond.

Fang He was surprised that his master didn't object to Jichuxen sitting in the back. But since his master didn't say anything, he wouldn't either.

Jichuxen was just hitching a ride, and she didn't speak.

Bo Yanchen turned to look at the girl, who was sitting upright, staring straight ahead, with a little cowlick sticking up on her head.

He thought she had nowhere to go and was wondering what to do. Just as he was about to speak, Fang He asked, "Miss Ji, where are you going?"

On the console next to Fang He was a can of milk tablets.

Because of her genetic makeup, Jichuxen had an insatiable sweet tooth in her past life, and this trait carried over even after her rebirth. Since she spotted the can of milk tablets, she couldn't stop salivating.

She was about to lose control!

Fang He's question snapped her back to reality.

She couldn't help but slurp. "Ah..."

Her attention was entirely on the milk tablets, not the two men in the car. "Take me to the city first."

For some reason, she felt relaxed around Bo Yanchen, knowing he wouldn't harm her.

Strange.

Bo Yanchen realized that the girl wasn't worried about where to go; she was just fixated on the milk tablets on the dashboard.

He found it amusing.

Ah, she's still just a child.

"If you want them, take them."

Before Fang He could react, Jichuxen's little hand had already grabbed the can of milk tablets.

In the blink of an eye, she opened the can and stuffed several tablets into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a chipmunk's.

Quite cute, actually.

Fang He: "..." How did I find that adorable?

Bo Yanchen sighed inwardly. "Kid, are you that desperate?"

Being so greedy for a few milk tablets, what kind of life had she been living?

Jichuxen, savoring her favorite yogurt-flavored milk tablets, was in a great mood. She closed her eyes, swaying her head, and her little cowlick bobbed along. She didn't mind Bo Yanchen calling her a kid anymore.

Kid? Fine, as long as she got the milk tablets, she didn't care. In the lab, anyone who called her that would have been beaten up. But this man was too good-looking to hit.

"Hmm, you like these a lot?" Bo Yanchen, seeing her enjoyment, felt better himself.

The girl looked much prettier when she smiled, like a little rabbit, with her cowlick bouncing, incredibly cute.

Jichuxen slurped. "They're sweet. I like them."

Bo Yanchen paused.

Children who had suffered much tended to crave sweetness.

It seemed the girl had had a tough life for the past few years.

Of course, Bo Yanchen didn't realize he was mistaken. Jichuxen's love for sweets was purely genetic, beyond her control.

She didn't know what Bo Yanchen was thinking, but she was in a great mood. Bo Yanchen then asked, "What else do you like to eat?"

Jichuxen thought for a moment and said, "Jelly."

"We don't have any in the car, but we can buy some later."

Jichuxen replied unceremoniously, "I want the fruit-flavored ones."

"Alright, your wish is my command." Seeing her eyes light up at the mention of jelly, Bo Yanchen couldn't help but fulfill her every request.

Fang He, driving, felt like he was seeing a ghost.

What was wrong with his master today?

Was he trying to woo the girl?

Goodness! That's too inappropriate!

Rumors had it that the girl was only seventeen and not yet of age.

As he was mentally criticizing his master, he heard Bo Yanchen ask, "Little girl, you don't remember me, and yet you're willing to come with me. Aren't you afraid of being tricked?"
