Chapter 216 Kick Out of the Small World

Chiu Chiu felt warm all over, especially on her forehead, where something fluffy seemed to be constantly brushing against her.

She felt as if she were trapped in a soft ball of cotton and couldn't wake up.

The slight gnawing sensation on her neck gave her the strength to struggle. [I can't die! My whole family is waiting for me to save them!]

She is the hope of the whole family!

Chirp struggled fiercely, finally tumbling into the bottomless pool. The icy, bone-chilling discomfort instantly snapped Chirp out of her daze. She looked around, and the overly familiar surroundings made her extremely uneasy.

"Bang!"

Chiu Chiu got a tap on the forehead and bared her teeth, scolding the other person angrily: "Ling Ling! You're so mean!"

A small fish, entirely fiery red except for a touch of gold at its tail, swam swiftly, its head half-emerging from the water: "Chirp chirp, what's wrong?"

Isn't this how they usually play?

Chiu Chiu looked at her enlarged chubby little hands and pinched her fleshy arms that resembled lotus roots. "I've grown up?"

Lingling swam over curiously, "But you're the smallest baby fish among us!"

Chiu Chiu is the smallest of the little fish, both in human form and in her true form. She's an orphan fish, and when she first appeared in her group, she was often bullied by the larger fish. It took her a very long time to be accepted by the group.

She would never admit that it was because Qiuqiu had latched onto the strongest backer in the clan that everyone reluctantly accepted her because they couldn't beat her!

Even fish have pride!

Chiu Chiu looked around and muttered to herself, "How did I get back? I haven't finished my mission yet, Lingling, I need to go find my parents."

Lingling paused, raised her fin, and before Qiuqiu could speak, she darted away like a flying fish, shouting as she swam, "Help! Qiuqiu has gone mad!"

Where do orphaned fish get their parents?

"Oh no! A fish-stealing monster is trying to steal the little fish!"

Hearing that a fishmonger was trying to abduct the small fish, the tribespeople rushed out, pots and pans in hand. Their anger flared when they saw the bewildered Chirp, shouting, "Who dares to bully Chirp right at our doorstep!"

Chiu Chiu scratched her head: "Second Uncle, no one bullied me, it's just that I miss my parents and brother!"

A day apart feels like three autumns; a day apart feels like madness!

Uncle Er stroked Qiuqiu's head tenderly, his heart aching: "You said no fish bullied you, but you're so scared you're starting to talk nonsense. You're really infuriating!"

Lingling swam over and nuzzled Qiuqiu's hand, "Silly Qiuqiu, where did you get your parents and brother from?"

Chiu Chiu shook her head and retorted in her childish voice, "Daddy is a fish with a family, you know. I have a family in the little world!"

She's not alone!

Lingling was even more puzzled, "But, but Chiu Chiu, you just took a nap here."

She knew about the small world; all the lucky fish in her clan had the opportunity to enter it to accumulate merit. After completing the task, they could choose to leap over the dragon gate and ascend to immortality, or return to the Koi Clan like most of their kind to nurture their clan's territory with merit. Each fish that entered the small world would disappear from the clan for a period of time. But Chiu Chiu clearly only took a nap and never left!

She lifted her fin and hugged Qiuqiu: "You must be scared stiff. Don't be afraid, Lingling will protect you."

Chiu Chiu turned around and hugged the chubby red koi fish tightly, rubbing against it frantically. Silly Lingling, the Chiu Chiu of today isn't the same Chiu Chiu of before! When Chiu Chiu returns from the little world, it will become the greatest Chiu Chiu God!

"Where are the clan leader and her husband?" For some reason, Chiu Chiu was still a chubby baby in the Koi Clan. She splashed around in the water a couple of times and darted far away. "I'm going to find the clan leader!"

The doll wearing a red bib disappeared in a flash. Uncle Er touched his bald head, puzzled: "Why do I feel like Qiuqiu is acting normally today?"

Lingling was shocked: "Isn't the fact that Qiuqiu is normal the biggest abnormality?!"

Second Uncle: "..."

He was speechless!

The crazy little fish was crying and screaming in her clan, looking for her parents. But where would she, an orphan fish, have any family? What's more, she was dreaming of becoming a hero fish who would save the little world. She's gone mad, truly mad!

Song Qizhao wiped the water droplets from his face, rolled up his sleeves, and scooped up the frantically splashing Chiu Chiu. "You've been kicked out of that world's rules, you can't go back!"

Those mischievous little fish are such a nuisance, thankfully they're not his own! But his dear wife is really awful, she actually abandoned him and ran away.

Stopping her death roll, Chiu Chiu clung to her godfather's hand, looking at him with teary eyes like a pitiful little dog: "Godfather, why was I kicked out? Did the laws there not like me?"

Song Qizhao sighed, "Speak properly, and don't whine."

Chiu Chiu shook her head: "Just be cute, just be cute."

"Can't we communicate properly?"

"Then tell me why I was kicked out." Qiuqiu put her hands on her hips, tilted her round face up at Song Qizhao angrily, "Godfather, you said you would protect me, right?"

Song Qizhao also couldn't figure out how this little guy died under the dual protection of the Qilin and the laws!

Chirp stared wide-eyed, not understanding how she had died.

"I'm dead? How did I die?"

Song Qizhao asked in confusion, "You mean you don't even know how you died?"

"Yes!" Chuchu nodded vigorously. "Just because I don't know means I'm not dead yet!"

The little dumpling clung pitifully to Song Qizhao's leg: "You know, I've never had any family since I was little."

The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down. Finally, Song Qizhao blinked his sore eyes and resigned himself to his fate: "Fine, I'll take you back to see him."

Logically speaking, unless Qiuqiu committed suicide due to some suicidal thought, she shouldn't have died easily in that small world, especially not so inexplicably. Let's go to the small world and check things out before making a decision.

Song Qizhao, carrying Qiuqiu, returned to the ancient world and, guided by his physical body, arrived at Hundred Flowers Village.

Looking at the little bundle of joy lying on the bed, Song Qizhao finally understood why she so wanted to spend her life with her family in this world. "They've made you so chubby!"

Although the baby in his arms hadn't changed, he could feel the soreness in his arms.

Chiu Chiu glared at her godfather and threw a punch at him, saying, "My mom says I'm just chubby!"

"Then your mother has a pretty strong bias against you." Seeing that Qiuqiu's face was about to change, Song Qizhao quickly changed the subject, "Go check if you're still breathing."

Chirp: They're dead, why are they still breathing?

No, she needs to come up with a pose that looks good when she comes back to life!

The beds in Hundred Flowers Village all had a sweet, cloying fragrance, and Qiuqiu felt as if her body had been pickled in nectar. Song Qizhao resignedly wiped her drool and told her the cruel truth: "You did not die in this world, but someone used the power of an evil god to take over your body."

Chirp: "What?!"

Song Qizhao: "Look, something is taking over your body."

Chirp: "???!!!"

Chirp: Watch the ad to revive Chirp!
