Chapter 294 (Catching Bugs)
"Mianmian, let's take a look at our current mission progress."
In the night, in the palace, the system expanded the task panel so that the children could clearly see the progress bar of each task on it.
"The Little Mermaid" - 100%.
"Rapunzel" — 31%.
"Sleeping Beauty" - 22%.
"Cinderella" — 85%.
"The Frog Prince" - 99%.
Thumbelina – 99%.
"Snow White" — 54%.
"It's hard to reverse the plot, and it's even harder to reverse the predetermined fate. Although we have made a lot of efforts and changes, before everything is settled... the lives of the protagonists are likely to return to their original predetermined tracks."
If Mianmian had not appeared in this world to take on these tasks, the mermaid princess Anriel and the mermaid clan would have been the first to suffer and would never have the chance to have wings that could fly into the vast sky again.
The mermaids in the sea became elves in the sky, and the butterflies on the coastline of Hitanya finally smelled the rich fragrance of flowers blooming in the Silver Moon Forest.
Of the seven fairy tales, only The Little Mermaid has been completely changed.
It may take Yunmian more than ten years to complete the remaining six.
"We have to find a way to lift the curse on Sleeping Beauty." Yun Mian sat in the soft quilt, holding a piece of white silk in her hand.
She thought again of little Irene's eyes, which were exactly like her own.
The child spread out his little hands in the moonlight coming in from the window. His white and tender palms still bore marks from various curses by the dark wizards.
But unlike the curse that little Ailin received, those wizards had no way to pierce her skin and obtain her blood to inflict the most irreversible blood curse, and other curses could not have much effect on the elves, so she was able to escape safely.
But little Ailin's blood curse is strange and irreversible. Yunmian snatched the magic crystal ball from the wizard tower in order to let the Silvermoon Forest hand over the crystal ball to King Eric, so that he could use the precious crystal ball to negotiate and exchange with the wizard tower, hoping to find a way to lift the curse.
But looking at the progress of the mission now, the Wizard Tower has probably not compromised and given a specific plan yet.
Or maybe there is really no way to change this curse...
"There must be a way!" Yun Mian clenched the silk cloth to refute the system uncle's hypothesis. She puffed her face and said distressedly: "Uncle, my mother said that the wizards must have a way!"
At first, her mother agreed with her proposal to stop the vampires. Later, when she returned home, her mother told her that although the people in the wizard tower were crazy, they would never casually create a curse that they themselves were unable to lift.
Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos long ago. The wizard tower could cast a curse by taking anyone's blood at random, and the immortal species would not pose any threat to them. All creatures in the world would become prey raised by wizards.
The dark wizards dare not and cannot go that far, so even though everyone spreads the rumor that the blood curse of the wizard tower is extremely vicious and there is no way to break it, the wizards have never used this curse easily, which means that there must be some other secrets hidden behind it.
Yunmian didn't quite understand, but she completely trusted every word her mother said.
If mom says yes, then it must be there!
Yunmian likes little Ailin very much. Although little Ailin has a genetic disease that makes her always sleepy and unable to wake up, her eyes, which look just like her own, are so clean and beautiful. Yunmian hopes that little Ailin can grow up happily and safely, instead of carrying the curse of early death from a young age.
She had died once, on a hospital bed, in her mother's arms, so she didn't want other children or mothers to experience that kind of pain.
It can even be said that apart from Princess Yu Yu, little Ailin is actually the little protagonist that Yun Mian cares about the most. Even the little Lola next door is the result of Yun Mian's daily interactions with her. But for Yun Mian, little Ailin is more like trying to save a child who is very similar to herself in her previous life.
It was like seeing another self, so I tried even harder to help her avoid a similar ending.
The system touched the child's forehead as a comfort, then flew out of the bedroom, lay down among the soft flowers, and fell into a deep sleep with the child in the bedroom.
It doesn’t matter. The elves have a very long life. Mianmian can spend a dozen years or even decades to accompany the protagonists of these fairy tales to grow up little by little and escape from their original destiny.
What the system is more worried about is how the little guy will grow up well in the thousands of years after the mission is completed, and how he will face the departure of familiar humans one by one.
I hope Mianmian can make more friends with immortals in the future, so that when she has to face the aging and death of humans with her young mind, she will have friends around to accompany her and comfort her.
From this point of view, Princess Mermaid and little Winnie from the fairy tribe are great, and Sleeping Beauty little Eileen, who will definitely drink the sap of the Mother Tree of Life and the magic potion in the future, will definitely be able to accompany Yunmian for a long enough life after she is freed from the curse.
Thinking of this, the system flew out of the flower, turned around to look at the closed bedroom door, and rolled back into the flowerpot to sleep with peace of mind.
On the second day of the wedding, Yun Mian refused the invitation of the king and queen, and under Snow White's curious gaze, put a leaf that fell from the mother tree in her hand.
"If one day your life is in danger, you can take this leaf to the Silver Moon Forest, or find an elf or fairy. They will do their best to help you."
Yun Mian tilted her head and smiled adorably at the seven-year-old Snow White. While she was confused, she stretched out her little hand and secretly poked her soft cheek. Then, while Snow White was stunned and caught off guard, she spread her translucent green wings and flew from in front of her eyes to the blue sky outside the castle.
"Uncle, I won't get involved in their lives." On the way home, Yun Mian said cheerfully, "Mom said that every child can make many choices of their own. I gave Snow White leaves, helped Princess Anna escape from her kingdom, brought back little Winnie who had no ability to choose, and gave little Irene two drops of the sap of the Mother Tree of Life..."
“I gave them the opportunity to choose.”
"If they still want to become princesses who live happily with the prince in fairy tales in the future, I will not change their decision, just like my mother will not let me leave Silver Moon Forest just because it is dangerous for me outside."
The system probably didn't expect that its little Dun Dun host could come up with such profound insights. After squatting on the child's head for two seconds, it actually abandoned the mission rules and said happily: "Mianmian is great! You made the right decision. They have the right to decide their own lives. We must also get out of the mission and live our own lives!"
What if the task is not completed?
Well... there is an old Eastern saying that goes, "Good words cannot persuade a damned soul, and great compassion cannot save those who have already died."
Mianmian has already messed up the line of fate, but if someone still insists on walking towards the worst line, even if this line is messed up by Mianmian, she will eventually reach that end.
When Yunmian returned home, she brought gifts for everyone. After the carriage stopped outside the door, the child who had been away for many days was warmly welcomed by both families.
Specifically, little Lola called Yunmian "sister" while smearing her saliva on her face with kisses.
Yunmian: “…”
It looks like a puppy.
So Yunmian turned around and pinched Laura's little face to teach her how to bark like a dog.
The witch stood outside the door and watched this scene, her clear eyes filled with a helpless smile.
Holding little Lola who kept barking, Yun Mian prepared to fulfill the promise she had made before leaving.
First, you need to make big wings with leaves to take little Laura to the sky.
Then I would take little Laura, who had never been out of the house, to the town to play, buy her toys and eat lots of delicious food.
"I have a lot of money this time~" Little Yun Mianmian secretly showed off in Laura's ear.
Little Laura, who had never seen coins and had no idea what they were used for, looked at her sister blankly. Then, when her sister spread out her hands to show off, she grabbed a silver coin and stuffed it into her mouth.
Yunmian's pupils trembled: "Lola, shut up! There are so many bacteria on this money!!"
Little Lola: ( * ^ ▽ ^ * )Everything can be eaten!!
There are still one or two chapters left before the complete ending of Small World. I originally thought of a lot of ways to change the story, but I deleted them all when I was writing. In this world, Mianmian never got along well with her mother, and was always running around intervening in other people's lives. She was just a silly child who loved her mother, not a savior who could change her fate, so let it be.
