"System, are you sure you want me, an eight-year-old child, to do that kind of task?"
On Yue Fuguang's still slightly chubby face was an expression that said, "You're bullying a child again."
[Host, you're almost thirty years old in total across both your lives; you're already a mature adult!]
In the system space, a snow-white ball of fluff couldn't help but roll its eyes. Modern humans just love to pretend to be children; even people in their forties can claim to be babies under 500 months old.
The moment the age was mentioned, Yue Fuguang couldn't help but have a good argument with the system.
"I only lived to be twenty in my past life! Although this body is only eight years old, those first five years weren't mine!"
She stretched out her soft, white hand and said, "I've only actually lived here for three years, I'm still a baby!"
With her chubby little hands and a height of just over a meter, who would dare say she isn't?
This body suffered too much in the past few years, damaging its foundation. If it weren't for the medicine from the system store, she probably would have died as well after taking over.
Now he's eight years old and still hasn't reached the average height. Because he's too weak, we don't dare use strong medicine or give him excessive supplements.
Yue Fuguang touched her fair and tender little arms. Was it easy for her? It had taken her three years to slowly gain some weight after taking over the body.
[Host, I am the Merit System. How can we earn points if we don't do good deeds? How can we level up if we don't earn points? How can we save enough money to rebuild our physical body if we don't level up or do tasks?]
With just one sentence from Yue Fuguang, System 07 had several sentences to shut her down, and she had plenty of other things to say in rebuttal.
However, when it came to reshaping her physical body, she also demanded from the system that it be an excellent physical body, which made Yue Fuguang feel a bit breathless.
Seeing her silence, the system continued to help her recall, "[You need white jade for bones, autumn water for spirit, stardust for eyes, a hundred flowers for face, and also the most outstanding cultivation aptitude and...]"
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I'll do it. I'll do the task, alright?"
Honestly, she didn't want to just lie around doing nothing; she just felt the task was difficult and couldn't afford to slack off even for a moment!
Thinking about her suggestions for reshaping her new body... she also felt that her demands were a bit excessive!
But if you could do it all over again, who wouldn't want the best?
It's just about earning points, right? Spend them on yourself, you won't lose out!
But when she thought about the tasks involved, she felt a little discouraged!
Although she lacked conviction, she couldn't help but retort, "But I'm not a saint. I simply can't keep doing good deeds all the time!"
She tugged at the petals in her hand. "System, you know me. I'm not the kind of person who's overly kind."
She was used to living alone in her previous life, so she's not a kind-hearted person at all, and she's also a bit of a loner.
"Host, you're a good person, have you forgotten how you died?"
System 07 firmly believes that its host is a good person, and bad people are not worthy of its merit system.
Speaking of this, Yue Fuguang feels a pang of sadness.
She thought that having parents was like having no parents at all. At the prime of her life, she was twenty years old and no one cared for her, but she had the inheritance left to her by her parents, which was enough for her to enjoy for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, because of a moment of weakness and a lack of clear understanding of her own abilities, she came here in order to save a child who had fallen into the water.
To die young before you've spent all your money—who could bear that?
However, the ever-optimistic Yue Fuguang quickly accepted reality.
As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Besides, she still has a carrot dangling in front of her: the carrot of reshaping her into the most perfect body.
We won't allow her to completely give up and become a couch potato.
She quickly accepted reality and cheered herself up, wanting to live well in this strange world. Little did she know that someone wanted her dead!
When she arrived, the original owner's aura had already dissipated. She looked like a three-year-old when she was five. Her 'parents' made such a young child do chores without feeding her and would beat and scold her at the drop of a hat.
The original owner was covered in new wounds upon old ones; the tiny person was literally starved to death and died from the pain!
If she hadn't been clever, quick-witted, and managed to get into the Taoist temple and find a master, securing a livelihood for herself, she might have ended up with those heartless parents.
Oh, no, it was the adoptive parents who killed him!
Yes, the couple who abused the original owner to death were not the original owner's biological parents.
She has another identity: the real heiress in the story of the real and fake heiresses!
The matter was simple. The original owner's father, Yu Qinchun, was an official. After his term of office expired, he was transferred back to the capital. The original owner's mother, Sun Shuya, who was more than seven months pregnant with the original owner, followed him back to the capital.
When the Yu family passed through Liuping County, which was under the jurisdiction of Qingning Prefecture, Sun Shuya went into labor, so they stayed at the local Jimin Medical Clinic.
At that time, a farmer's wife from a nearby village, surnamed Zhou, who was more than nine months pregnant, fell and bled profusely because she was being mistreated by her mother-in-law.
The husband, Zhou Dazhuang, took his wife to Jimin Medical Clinic for a consultation.
Sun Shuya went into premature labor due to miscarriage, and Zhou also went into premature labor due to severe bleeding. Both women gave birth to unhealthy girls.
Fearing that her daughter would not survive due to premature birth, and knowing that her mother-in-law did not like girls, Zhou conspired with Zhou Dazhuang to switch the two children while the Yu family was in a flurry of activity.
The reason they chose the Yu family was simple: at that time, the Jimin Medical Clinic only had two pregnant women, and they had no other choice.
Another reason is that the Yu family is obviously a wealthy family, with a lot of servants and maids serving them. Later, I heard the maids and servants gossiping that their master is an official.
The Zhou couple, who had initially wavered due to fear, suddenly became resolute.
They could switch their daughter with the Yu family to live a life of luxury as an official's daughter, and when the child grew up, they could look for her and she could help support the family.
Their two sons will also have their younger sister, who will be a housekeeper, to rely on in the future.
