"That's right," nodded the owl.
"Oh, where's my magic wand?"
"It'll appear when you transform. Do you want to transform here?"
"No, I'll do it later. Can you go away now?"
"What do you mean 'can I go away'? I am your Contracted Beast, I'm sticking with you."
"Is that so?"
"What else?"
"Fine..." said She Neian, sighing with a slump as she hugged the owl in her arms, "You're so big and so fat, how am I going to take you home?"
"Kobe can become invisible."
"Oh, go invisible. Let me see."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the owl's body became a transparent mass, yet its touch still lingered in her arms.
"Impressive," said Shi Neian, "I'll take you home, but before I let you speak, don't say anything."
The owl didn't speak.
Soon, Shi Neian, holding the owl, arrived at the vacation resort on Wine Reflecting Coast, walked through the resort, and came to a seaside villa.
"Is this your home?" the owl thought to itself it had latched onto a rich lady.
"That's right."
