HEPO - Chapter 49: Say Aah

Liu Ji never thought that he would one day have the experience of gnawing on marble.

When Myza placed a piece of pristine white marble near Liu Ji's mouth after his transformation into a burrowrat, Liu Ji's initial reaction was to reject it.

However, probably due to his new form, while Liu Ji's mind resisted, his new body acted on its own.
