Chapter 266
266 Two Stories
[Then, let me tell you about Baby Yu overcoming adversity! In the past, there was a Baby Yu who lived in a warm home…]
Meatball used a fairytale language that children could understand better to simplify the story and told her a life that Little Ah Yu should have lived.
The original Little Ah Yu was born in the Xie Manor. As her identity was unknown, she was treated as a bastard child at first.
But soon, when she was two years old, the cute Ah Yu was noticed by Old Master Xie and he felt that she was obedient and cute.
In addition, she was a girl. Even if she was not his biological daughter, she was actually not a threat to his family. Moreover, the woman he married had a given generous dowry.
Of course, Little Ah Yu’s greatest suffering only came from her eldest sister. According to the System World, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Dongzhu, was the biggest villain in the early stages.
At that time, the aunt of the Xie family did not die early. Instead, she died of illness when Little Ah Yu was 15 years old.
However, Little Ah Yu still relied on her optimism and the care of the others in the Xie Manor to grow to 15 years old.
When she was 15 years old, she met someone from the West Wind Nation and unlocked a new identity. She looked very similar to a noble from the West Wind Nation.
Later on, Ah Yu went to the West Wind Nation as a noble and began her life as a noble.
After hearing this story, Little Ah Yu blinked and sighed.
[What’s wrong? Don’t you like this story?]
Little Ah Yu said, “I think Baby Yu is so pitiful!”
[She can eat her fill every day. Not only are there steamed buns, but there are also all kinds of delicacies. When she went to rabbit country, the rabbits there were especially good to her. She was free from illnesses and disasters for the rest of her life. How is this pitiful?]
The rabbit country was the West Wind country. Meatball had specially switched the names.
Little Ah Yu said, “But Baby Yu’s mother is gone! She doesn’t have her Mother, and she left her Father, Brothers, and Sisters and went to a very unfamiliar rabbit country herself. Isn’t she very pitiful?”
[That makes sense.]
“Elf, do you know? I remember now. I still have another mother! But that mother is gone. Fortunately, I still have another mother. But I don’t want to forget my previous mother. If I forget, that mother will be so sad.” Little Ah Yu’s eyes were filled with confusion. “The other children only have one mother. If she’s gone, they can’t find another mother. I saw many people without mothers living so pitifully.”
“In the story you told, Baby Yu also had two mothers. Her original mother was gone, and she couldn’t find her other mother after that. Isn’t she even more pitiful than ordinary people? Because she needs to remember her two mothers, she has to be sad twice!”
[…] Child, I can’t refute your words.
It did not expect the story to be interpreted like this.
[Then, let me tell you another story.]
“Is it also Baby Yu?”
[Yes, but it’s another Baby Yu.]
Little Ah Yu said listlessly, “Mn, alright.”
For some reason, Little Ah Yu felt that the story told by the elf today made her a little unhappy.
However, Little Ah Yu still politely expressed that she was willing to listen.
[The second story. Baby Yu is just a background character.]
“What’s a background character?”
[…It’s like the buns made by your Third Aunt and the flowers at the side of the road. It doesn’t matter if they exist or not.]
Little Ah Yu was very serious. “There must be flowers at the side of the road! It’s beautiful and Third Aunt’s buns are delicious!”
[…I mean… Forget it, it’s not important. I’ll tell you the story. The second story is called “Ice Emperor please take my move: The little farm girl is very beautiful”.]
“Wow, is it another story about Xiao Long’nu? Is it in the sea?”
[…It’s Nong as in farm.] In order to prevent Little Ah Yu from thinking that it was another word, Meatball used its claws to scratch the word “farm” on the ground.
Little Ah Yu: “Oh.”
The second story that Meatball told was actually a fantasy in the mind of the reborn Xu Linglong.
In her previous life, Xu Linglong married an old man as a concubine. Later on, that old man died suddenly and she obtained a huge fortune.
After that, she was deceived by a down-and-out noble who ended up doting on his concubines and destroying his wife. She lived a miserable life and her mentality gradually became distorted. In the end, she single-handedly harmed dozens of people in his family and was beheaded.
It just so happened that at that time, a traitor appeared in the System World. When the System self-destructed in the core management area, it triggered the turmoil of billions of space-time.
At that time, Meatball sensed Little Ah Yu and was about to rush over to protect her.
At that moment, space and time was in chaos. Xu Linglong, who had died with great hatred and resentment, was chosen as a reincarnator. Her malice was chosen by the self-exploding system fragments and it absorbed Meatball’s energy for her.
Therefore, Xu Linglong had been reborn and even had an ownerless spatial pocket.
After Xu Linglong was reborn, she imagined that with the help of her spatial pocket, she was a Heaven’s Chosen. She had quickly gone from an ordinary peasant girl to a local rich lady. Even the local ladies were jealous and envious of her.
Among them was Little Ah Yu, who was loved by everyone. She was especially jealous of Xu Linglong and played all kinds of brainless tricks. In the end, she went for wool and came home shorn.
Xu Linglong even imagined that Little Ah Yu’s noble identity was fake. The real noble was actually her. Little Ah Yu was just an imposter. Not long after she became a noble, she was beaten up and died tragically on the streets with a reputation of a vicious and stupid girl.
Of course, this was just Xu Linglong’s imagination.
However, this thought was coincidentally captured by Xie Changsheng, who had been struck to death by lightning not far away. In Xie Changsheng’s understanding, this was the original novel she had seen.
It could be said that the System had caused chaos, causing Xu Linglong’s rebirth and Xie Changsheng’s transmigration.
These were too complicated. Meatball naturally did not tell Little Ah Yu, but it only told Little Ah Yu what Xu Linglong had imagined in the form of a fairy tale.
Little Ah Yu’s eyes widened.
“Aiya, how is this Baby Yu a bad person? Why is she angry when she sees that others are beautiful?”
Little Ah Yu could not understand. She was usually very happy to see beautiful young ladies and men on the streets.
Looking at beautiful people, she was in a good mood. She could even eat half a bun!
[Kid, then do you want to be the Baby Yu in the previous story or the one in the later story?]
Little Ah Yu shook her head like a rattle drum and patted her chest with her little hands. “I don’t want to be either one of them. It’s not good. I like me, this Baby Yu!”
[Alright, then you can be the current Baby Yu.] Meatball revealed a gentle smile.
In any case, no matter what decision Ah Yu made, even if she wanted to cause trouble for the System World, it would definitely support her.
This was its protective target. It could not let others bully her.
Let’s wait a few more years. When the child grows up a little, I’ll tell her that this is her story.
However, the Xu Linglong in the story was not as good as she imagined.
