Chapter 285
On the other side, Betty squatted on the roadside and picked out different ingredients that were fresh enough from the stall.
She lowered her head, selecting while whispering to the little ball hidden in her pocket that had half emerged to observe the outside world: "You mean that child just now? Is there something special about her?"
Just a few minutes ago, the food system named Xiao Tiangao that she had bound to changed its previous silly and indifferent state. When she was knocked down, it jumped excitedly and wanted to run out. After she held it down silently, it kept protesting in her mind with a sweet and sticky little baby voice.
This is also the reason why Betty left in a hurry without even caring about her injuries. She was afraid that this lively and innocent little ball of light would be discovered if it came out, even though it had always said that no human being would be able to discover its existence.
The little sweet cake missed the chance to meet its master, and was now hiding in its owner's pocket in sadness. Suddenly, it heard the owner's question, and replied with an unhappy hum: "I won't tell you, you won't let me take a sneak peek at her."
It followed its master to this strange mission world, but was abandoned by the predecessor system halfway. It could only search and search for a suitable host to bind to. This binding lasted for five whole years. It stayed with the host every day and had no idea where to find the master.
The time when Xiao Tiangao was bound to Betty was a bit coincidental. At that time, Betty's mother had just passed away, and Betty's father had a new wife. The beautiful stepmother also had two children who were older than Betty, so Betty had a hard time in the reconstituted family.
Xiao Tiangao had no intention of binding Betty at first, but he was essentially a soft-hearted little ball of light. When he saw that little Betty, who was only seven or eight years old, was ordered by her stepmother to cook a delicious meal, otherwise she would be punished to go outside in the winter to wash her skirt with snow water, he rushed over on impulse and bound Betty.
From then on, he stayed with Betty for five whole years.
It is a novice system that knows nothing. Its only task is to help every bound host become a cooking god, and then earn one third of the host's halo and merit that far exceeds the original world line.
Betty was also a poor little girl who was only eight years old. She lost her mother and was treated harshly by her reconstituted family. After the two little ones got together, they didn't have much plans for the future.
So for five years, Betty relied on her increasingly sophisticated cooking skills to make her stepmother, two sisters and father all treat her a little better. Although she was still often bullied, the food she cooked was so delicious that her father opened one famous restaurant after another.
Unconsciously, her life became much better, and her longing for her mother was alleviated by the arrival of Little Sweetie. Betty always secretly comforted herself when she missed her mother, thinking that Little Sweetie might be the magical elf entrusted by her mother in heaven to accompany her.
But Betty never thought that the sweet cake that originally belonged to her and only she could see would one day produce an exciting emotional reaction to another person.
Betty felt a little uncomfortable. She put down the vegetables she had been looking at for a long time, stood up and said to the grumpy little sweet cake, "I'm sorry, if I meet that child again, I won't stop you anymore."
Little Sweet Cake had been with Betty for five years, and could immediately sense the host's low mood. It secretly poked its small body out of its pocket, rubbed Betty's not particularly slender fingers, and said softly: "Betty and I are good friends forever, don't be sad, I just want to take a sneak peek at her, I haven't seen her for five years..."
For Xiao Tiangao, her master Mianmian created her, and she is like a mother to her.
Although it and Mianmian are still ignorant children, the instinct of the soul makes it rely on and miss its owner Mianmian. It is impossible for it to ignore the existence of its owner just because Betty will be sad.
"I miss her so much, just like you miss your mother, Betty."
The little sweet cake felt a little sad when he thought about his master living in a place where he couldn't see him. He whispered, "She must have forgotten me. It will take a long time for her to remember me..."
The senior said that when the master entered the small world to perform a mission, her memory was completely blocked, so even if I ran over to meet the master, she would definitely not recognize me.
Betty didn't expect that the always innocent and lively little sweet cake would become lost because of her obstruction. When she heard it talking about its mother, Betty lowered her eyes guiltily: "I'm sorry... I will definitely take you to see the child."
She was just afraid that the child would be a more suitable host in Xiao Tiangao's heart than herself, and that Xiao Tiangao, her only dependent, would become someone else's property one day.
Betty apologized again, and only after receiving Xiao Tiangao's forgiveness and becoming happy again did she breathe a sigh of relief. She made a promise while re-selecting the ingredients to be used today.
She had thought that she would meet the little girl at least in the next few days, perhaps by chance, or she might find a way to find out her identity and address, but she never expected it to come so soon.
Almost as soon as she finished her promise, a child's tender and cheerful voice was heard not far away.
Betty looked up subconsciously, and immediately caught a glimpse of a little girl holding a feather pen and asking a lady expectantly if she wanted one among the crowd on the street.
She looked at the people over there who were obviously not of the same class as her, and slowly loosened her fingers that were covering her pockets.
Little Sweetie sneaked up again, taking advantage of the fact that humans couldn't see him, and flew to Betty's shoulder, hiding himself in her rose-gold hair, cautiously looking at his master in the distance.
Betty noticed that Xiao Tiangao had no intention of flying away from her, and her originally tense body relaxed a little. She also looked curiously at the child who had some connection with Xiao Tiangao.
It must be said that this child was so beautiful. Even though she had seen many exquisitely dressed and good-looking noble young masters and young ladies with her father and stepmother, when she first saw the little child in the distance, she couldn't help but marvel at her appearance.
The God of Creation probably biased all his advantages into the soul and body of this child. She has a pair of clear, green eyes in the sun, as transparent and clear as the most expensive gems in the world. She also has the most perfect combination of facial features, slightly round baby fat on her fair cheeks, and small sweet dimples when she smiles...
Across the crowd, Betty stared in silence at the child who seemed to have grown up with all the best qualities, and thought silently in her heart: There must be no one who hates such a cute child, right?
Maybe even a stepmother as strict and harsh as her, or two step-sisters as spoiled and willful, would not be able to help but soften their hearts and smile and be gentle to this child when they see her?
"Betty?" A familiar baby voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Betty suddenly came back to her senses, and the next moment she heard Xiao Tiangao say to her, "I've already seen it. Didn't your father ask you to go to the store as soon as possible? Let's go buy some groceries and go back, or he'll be unhappy again."
Xiao Tiangao's tone is always cheerful, lively and positive. Perhaps this is the key reason why Betty's psychology has not been distorted by her deformed family.
Betty touched the small ball of light that had returned to her pocket through the cloth, answered softly, and walked briskly towards the stall she had already chosen.
The little sweet girl hid in her pocket, secretly looking back at the senior squatting on her owner's head, feeling a little bit of envy and longing in her heart.
Maybe when I earn a lot of points and surpass my powerful predecessors, I can also fly over my master's head and squat there~
With beautiful expectations in mind, Xiao Tiangao feels that he is full of motivation for life again!
If you work hard, you will be able to get close to your master and squat on his head, hehe~
Yun Mian didn't know that she had left behind a silly little ball of light in this world. She was holding up the light grey quill pen in her hand, and asked the stall owner with wide eyes in astonishment: "Uncle, how many copper coins do you want for this pen?!"
The stall owner said: "My dear customer, this quill pen costs one hundred and twenty-five copper coins."
Yunmian, who only had 20 copper coins in his pocket, said: "..."
After receiving the confirmation that he could not bargain, the child put down his pen dejectedly, turned around, held his mother's finger, looked up and said pitifully: "Mom, I can't afford this pen..."
Yun Yejin had known what was going on for a long time. Seeing her daughter's pitiful and coquettish look, she lowered her eyes and smiled to comfort her: "It's okay. I have received Xiao Mianhua's kindness. I am very happy."
Yunmian rushed over and hugged her mother's legs with open arms, whispering sourly: "Mom, that pen is not particularly beautiful, the words it writes must not be very beautiful... I will buy you a more beautiful feather pen when I make more money in the future!"
That pen is so expensive, it's obviously not a good one!
While Yunmian was comforting herself and her mother, she secretly asked the system: "Uncle, can I go to the Silver Moon Forest and ask the birds for a beautiful feather to make a beautiful pen for my mother?"
System: "...Yes, if those birds don't fly down and peck you angrily."
Yunmian was not afraid of being pecked, and she felt that both she and the bird had wings, and the bird would definitely be kind and forgive her!
With inexplicable confidence, Yun Mian finally gave up the pen that she had chosen with great difficulty, and continued to hold her mother's and Princess Yuyu's hands on the left and right, skipping forward.
So then she fully realized what the prices in this small town were like.
A very thin book, at least three silver coins.
A pair of shabby shoes that are barely wearable enough to walk in, starting at 40 copper coins.
A jar of sour jam that doesn't have much sweetness because they don't put too much sugar in it is considered cheap at 47 copper coins.
A skinny pig that keeps grunting and producing smelly feces on the street, starting at 75 copper coins.
A white goose that keeps stretching its neck out of the cage to peck at people and make noise, 23 copper coins.
Yunmian: “…”
Holding his 20 meager copper coins, Yun Mianmian, with the strange idea of "If I can't buy a quill pen, I'll buy a goose", bargained for the first time in his life.
The elf stood in front of a stall full of poultry and livestock, enduring the ubiquitous stench of feces in the air, holding the pitiful 20 copper coins, and made the second deal of his life with the kind stall owner.
The system flew far behind the host mother, watching the scene where its host was trying hard to walk towards this side holding a big white goose. It couldn't help but think maliciously, if the Prince of Oriath who made the first deal with Mianmian saw this scene, would such an elegant gentleman still keep thinking about Mianmian's elven blood?
Hiss - thinking about it this way, it seems that I have found a magical way to make the vampires dislike me and give up hunting?
Not far away, the big white goose in Yunmian's arms stretched its neck to be almost taller than her. With the help of the stall owner, she held the goose's wings tightly behind its back. She clasped her small hands around the goose's long neck, her facial features unconsciously wrinkled, and she walked towards her mother and sister Yuyu step by step with difficulty on her short legs.
When the little boy stopped halfway and wrestled with the struggling white goose, Anriel secretly took a step back.
The elf guards also retreated in unison.
Yun Yejin, the only one standing still, said: "..."
She sighed with amusement and helplessness, smiling gently, and waited on the spot for the little guy to hug and drag the living "special gift" towards her.
Ignoring the funny scene not far away, she is still a gentle mother waiting for her own gift.
She stood among the crowd, and even the sunlight cast a warm, light golden glow on her.
The poor kid with only 20 copper coins was so poor that he only cared about the feathers of the birds in the forest.
A quill pen is not a pen that uses a feather dipped in ink to write, so it is not a product that can be sold by simply plucking a goose feather or a bird feather.
