Chapter 273 (Catching Bugs)
"Mom, I saw what you looked like when I was in heaven."
In the early morning, Yunmian flew to her mother's neck, rubbed her golden hair, and whispered about her strange dream: "Everyone wants to snatch my mother from me, but they can't beat me. I beat them until they cry, and then no one snatches from me."
There was another child who said that he and she had the same mother. In the world under the white clouds, the two children were called twins, but that child was beaten the worst by Yunmian.
She doesn't want twins at all. She absolutely doesn't want to share her mother with anyone!
Thinking of the scene in the dream, Yun Mian couldn't help but lean over and kiss her mother's cheek, saying softly: "Mom, you can't have another child, no one can, and I won't have another mother either."
In the children’s own logical chain, this is a particularly fair and just promise.
Yun Yejin was much more interested and curious about her daughter's story of choosing her mother in her dream than the so-called fairy tale she had told her before. She raised her hand and took the little one who was nestling on her shoulder to express her possessiveness into her palm, and then asked her what the world in her dream was like.
Yunmian got stuck all of a sudden.
The system, which had originally not taken it seriously, was also dumbfounded.
The two kids "looked at each other" in a sense, and then both tried frantically to find excuses to change the subject.
After Yun Mian flapped her wings and fled out of the window, the system chased after her, and it didn't seem much calmer than her.
"Mianmian, never talk about the modern world in front of your mother again. She is too perceptive and can often tell something is wrong right away. Then we can easily be discovered and kicked out by the laws of this small world, and we will never be able to come back."
The light ball had to warn its host again and again with great caution.
Yunmian squatted in front of a red mushroom, slowly folding the light green wings behind her. She nodded seriously when she heard the words: "I understand, uncle!"
When her consciousness just revived in this world from the hospital, Yun Mian heard the system uncle emphasize the mission rules many times. This time she knew that she had accidentally exposed herself a little bit. She touched her pounding heart and felt a fear in her heart.
She didn't want to leave this world so soon, and she didn't want to leave her mother so soon.
If she left her mother alone again, Yun Mian felt that she would be so sad that she would die again.
After a brief moment of fear and silence, the system pulled out its own task panel for the host to see.
There are a total of seven task progress bars, one of which has been fully filled up. Of the remaining six, only one has just reached 3%; the remaining five have not moved at all.
The system originally thought that the task should be done slowly, but it saw that the host would always accidentally reveal some seemingly subtle things in the daily life with the host mother, and then the host mother would keenly catch them and investigate them in depth.
It thought about it again and again, and was still a little afraid that something unexpected would happen during the mission and they would be kicked out of this world before they could complete it. Therefore, when Yunmian and Anlil spread their wings and flew towards the garden where the witch was, it secretly made some adjustments to the mission progress bar.
In the witch's garden.
Yunmian is busy searching for the so-called "lettuce".
Anriel also accompanied her in the search, but in fact, Anriel, who had never even set foot on land, did not recognize the vegetables that were edible by humans.
"When Demi was pregnant with Lola, she wanted to eat delicious lettuce every day. Sister, do you want to eat it? If you want, we can use the money to buy some from this witch sister." Yunmian said as he flew down from the top of the wall and turned into a human cub outside the wall.
Anriel also folded her wings and landed in the wooden bowl in her hand, disguising herself as an ordinary fish.
But the voice could still be heard: "Perhaps she doesn't want to sell it. This garden is well maintained. The witch must like the plants she planted herself."
It only took Yunmian one second to go from being in deep thought to not wanting to think anymore.
The child didn't have as delicate and sensitive thoughts as Anriel, nor did he worry so much. After she finished speaking, he ran to the door with the bowl in his arms and knocked on it.
While knocking on the door and waiting for the person inside to open it, I whispered to her: "Ask this sister first. If she doesn't want to sell it, we can buy it from somewhere else. We can also grow it ourselves in the future."
There are many ways to get Lettuce, but Yunmian likes to play it straight and is not afraid of being rejected, because being rejected won't cause her any loss anyway.
Anriel fell silent upon hearing this, and at the same time, the door in front of her was opened from the inside.
A woman in a long black robe stood behind the door, looking down at Yunmian.
The person was wrapped tightly, with a wide hood on her head that covered most of her face, making it impossible to see what she looked like, let alone the expression on her face.
Just looking at this eerie outfit will make people subconsciously feel a mysterious and scary feeling that is difficult to get along with.
When they were close, Yun Mian could even smell a rotten, bitter smell of potion from the other person.
The witch's eyes fell on Yunmian. After a while, she spoke in a sinister and hoarse voice: "Reckless little devil, you'd better come to me if you really have something to ask. Otherwise, I don't mind imprisoning your soul and turning your body into an ugly puppet..."
Yunmian: “……???”
Seeing the little girl in front of her looking up at her blankly, Lilith moved her fingers slightly which were completely hidden under the black robe, and thought with a little smugness in her heart: This little girl must have been scared by what I said, otherwise she wouldn't look so stupid.
She thought with pleasure that the little guy must have been so frightened by her that he couldn't even speak.
You know, she had used this trick to scare away countless people, not just children, but also adults who always liked to come close to her house and try to spy on something.
Naturally, this little girl in front of me, whom I have never seen before, must have never heard of my "reputation", but from this moment on, from now on, she should never dare to come to my house and disturb me again.
"Sister, I'm not a brat."
The clear and tender voice of a child interrupted her joyful reverie.
Lilith's expression under her black robe suddenly froze. She subconsciously gripped the door frame, then lowered her eyes to carefully look at the little guy who had rashly knocked on her door.
Contrary to what she initially thought, the other person's eyes were pure, without any fear or timidity at all.
Lilith: “…”
Before she could respond, the little guy outside the door asked with bright eyes: "Sister, do you have any fresh lettuce at home? I want to buy some to eat with my mother. Can you sell some to me?"
After saying that, Yunmian tried to argue a little more: "Or sister, do you have lettuce seeds? Can I buy some too? I want to go back and plant them, so I can have lots of lettuce to eat in the future."
The system feels that Mianmian interprets the Chinese words "advance one's advantage" to the fullest.
Lilith had probably never encountered such a difficult situation before. She hadn't communicated with people nearby for a long, long time. The only time was when she forcefully reached a deal with the farmer Gar above, and she was the one who led the whole process.
But this time, I feel like I don’t have the final say.
The little guy in front of him had eyes that sparkled like expensive, crystal-clear gems. He was not afraid of his attire or those horrible words at all, and he opened his mouth to buy lettuce and lettuce seeds.
Before Gal climbed over the wall to steal lettuce, Lilith never thought that the lettuce she grew would be so popular.
I wouldn’t have planted it if I had known.
Many complicated thoughts flashed through her mind briefly, and Lilith came back to her senses. Her hoarse and low voice was actually a little awkward and stiff: "I don't sell lettuce. Leave here quickly, otherwise I will never let you go."
The intimidation has escalated. Will this time we be able to scare this daring kid away?
Lilith inexplicably began to doubt her ability to scare people.
Yunmian was rejected.
But she was not too depressed. She just nodded obediently after hearing this: "Okay, sorry to bother my sister..."
Before he could finish his words, the slightly sharp cry of a baby was heard in the room.
Yun Mian stopped talking midway, and the witch froze all over.
The big and the small looked at each other through the black robes. The witch wanted to close the door, but Yun Mian reacted faster than her.
"Sister! I know what to feed the kid so he won't cry!!"
The witch stopped closing the door abruptly. Yun Mian breathed a sigh of relief and bravely took two steps towards the door.
The witch didn't stop him, but just watched grimly.
So Yunmian became even bolder, and sprinted in from under her hand, then turned around and said to her with a bright smile: "Sister, my mother said that many newborn babies can only drink milk, and can't be fed anything else, otherwise the baby will get sick easily."
She had just seen this witch sister yesterday, not wearing a black robe and with long chestnut hair, mumbling and looking flustered. How could she be easily frightened today?
Yunmian and the stiff witch sister walked into the house, lay down beside the crib, and looked at the crying baby with pouty mouth in amazement.
"Sister, she's hungry~" Yun Mian reached out and touched the baby's belly, and she understood what the crying meant.
Lilith: “…”
I'm not stupid, of course I know she was crying because she was hungry.
But the key now is, where to find enough milk to feed the little one who keeps crying?
"Sister, is this okay?"
Yunmian took out the surprise floral dew that she still received every day from her pocket. It was a small tube, but drinking it could fill her stomach for the whole day.
"This flower dew is sweet and delicious, but the baby is so small, he can't drink too much." She tiptoed to stuff her own ration into the witch's hand, urging her to feed the baby quickly.
The witch didn't care much at first, but when she smelled the scent of the flower dew, her expression froze in an instant.
She held the crystal clear flower dew in her hand, lowered her eyes to observe the wreath on Yunmian's head and the tender green leaves on her head, and then, when the child was completely unprepared, she frowned and exposed her concealed identity: "Are you the cub of the forest elf?"
Yunmian looked up in confusion.
Anriel secretly sank herself to the bottom of the bowl.
The system just feels that today is an unlucky day. Why does it seem like the host is falling into traps wherever he goes today?
Under the witch's cold gaze, Yun Mian finally felt a little uneasy. He subconsciously took two steps back, staring at the witch vigilantly, and the wings behind him trembled slightly, ready to unfold.
I've seen some feedback from my kids that the fairy tale series is a bit long, but I will try my best to keep each princess' story between 10-15 chapters. If you really don't like the fairy tale series, you can let it grow for a while and then just skip this small world. Bobo~
