Lin Daiyu's misty, ethereal eyes twitched slightly, and as she gazed at the person, it seemed as if she were carrying a thousand sorrows, as she uttered a single sentence:
"If the Goddess of Wealth is willing to speak, I would naturally be more than happy to do so; if she is unwilling, it would be better for me to ask, as it would only damage my relationship with her."
Every word was sharp and eloquent, and the young girl, the Goddess of Wealth, smiled knowingly, not trying to pique anyone's interest or being evasive and annoying.
"You were originally a celestial herb from the Milky Way, the Crimson Pearl Herb. Nourished by the Milky Way and gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you cultivated for countless years before transforming into a minor fairy, and thus people called you the Crimson Pearl Fairy."
Ling Xiao briefly revealed Lin Daiyu's past life in detail.
The Crimson Pearl Fairy! So that's why the Goddess of Wealth always called herself Crimson Pearl.
Their daughter/cousin was truly a fairy. With everything settled, the two men present had mixed feelings, but most of them were happy.
Hahahaha, let's talk about something more realistic. If your own family member is a fairy, you don't even need to think about how many benefits you can get.
The phrase "even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" perfectly encapsulates this event.
Their joy was naturally the most moving for Lin Daiyu, but when she turned around and saw that the Goddess of Wealth's smile seemed to carry a hint of mockery, her heart pounded.
Sure enough, I heard:
"The Crimson Pearl Fairy's true form originated from a drop of blood from an ancient god, inheriting a few strands of that god's fortune. It can be said that her origins are extraordinary."
If things go smoothly, Fairy Crimson Pearl will be quite a figure in the future.
At this point, the young girl, the Goddess of Wealth, deliberately feigned envy, but her eyes betrayed undisguised malicious mockery.
The three listened carefully, each with a sense of foreboding.
Now that Fairy Crimson Pearl has become a young lady from the Lin family with congenital deficiencies, there are huge problems involved.
"Has something gone wrong?" Lin Ruhai struggled to lean out halfway, his brows furrowed in thought.
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Is someone coveting the Crimson Pearl Fairy?"
He muttered to himself:
"The Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb—isn't an immortal herb meant for immortals? Besides, with such a prestigious origin, eating it will surely bring even more benefits."
Jia Lian shuddered in fright: "Eat people!"
"No way, they're all immortals, living on dew and wind, how could they eat...eat immortal herbs that can transform into human form? Cousin Lin is an immortal too!"
Lin Daiyu gently bit her lower lip, already believing most of it. Immortal, immortal, doesn't it also have the character "person" in it?
A round of applause rang out, and Ling Xiao chuckled:
"As expected of Lin Tanhua, his mind is truly sharp. He could at least sell for fifty taels of silver. If you die young, you can do business with me before you die; I'll definitely be honest and fair to everyone."
Ling Xiao said in a seemingly serious but actually feigned manner, sounding like she was just trying to solidify her persona, but in reality, she would gladly accept if Lin Ruhai really sold himself.
—But what we want is its soul.
Lin Ruhai gave a bitter smile:
"Goddess of Wealth, you jest. How could my wretched appearance possibly catch your eye?"
It felt strangely that the host was forcibly taking a woman from the countryside, and the woman was crying and complaining that she was too ugly to be worthy of him.
"That's not necessarily true," the God of Wealth replied lightly, then continued:
"When Jiangzhu first took human form, before she had even paid homage to the Queen Mother of the West and been registered in the celestial register, someone saw an opening and set their sights on her, wanting to forcibly seize all the spiritual energy of the immortal herbs and all her fortune."
The God of Wealth, who outwardly appeared to be a wealthy young lady, sighed softly:
"Their methods were quite ingenious. First, they used the pretext of Shenying, the attendant of Nuwa Palace, descending to the mortal realm to overcome her love tribulation, and then forcibly dragged Jiangzhu down to the mortal realm as well, claiming that she had the grace of watering Jiangzhu. It's truly laughable."
Lin Ruhai took the initiative to explain to the bewildered Jia Lian:
"Yu'er was born on the banks of the Milky Way, where water is never lacking."
"Hmph, but Fairy Crimson Pearl actually believed it!"
Now that you're on the mortal realm, your life and death are entirely in the hands of others. Your father wasn't destined to die young; he too was set up with a calamity, all so that you could be manipulated even more easily!
Lin Daiyu was initially annoyed, but after hearing this, she also felt that "Crimson Pearl Fairy" was naive.
Then he turned his gaze to the God of Wealth and thought to himself, "Luckily, I still have the Goddess of Wealth to save me."
I don't know if she and I are close friends, or if we have some other relationship.
The system can tell her that it depends on what kind of relationship the host's next script requires.
Lin Daiyu smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said affectionately to Ling Xiao:
"With the Goddess of Wealth's help, those demons and monsters can't do anything."
Ling Xiao's gaze sculpted Lin Daiyu inch by inch, like a carving knife, a mixture of disdain and awkward protectiveness.
"That old hag, Jinghuan, while I was in Heaven learning how to become the God of Wealth, she went crazy and dared to attack you."
Her eyes were cold and chilling.
"If you want to eat the immortal herb, you'll have to ask me, the one who's been guarding it for hundreds of years, first!"
I haven't even had a bite!
This is completely unexpected! The truth is quite different from what everyone expected. The relationship between the Goddess of Wealth and the Crimson Pearl Flower is a little unusual.
What is this? A customer and ingredients that got there first?
Lin Daiyu's smile froze on her face, her heart clenched with nervousness, and just as she was about to say something, she saw the God of Wealth glance at her and casually explain:
“Rare and precious treasures are always guarded by spirit beasts. Before you took human form, I was already a powerful overlord in the Milky Way, cultivating under the protection of the spiritual energy you emitted. I originally planned to devour you when the time was right.”
She clicked her tongue in slight regret:
"Alas, who knew that fate could bring unexpected events? The past is too painful to recall. Just know that I studied so hard, even with my head tied to the rafters and an awl pricking my thigh, that I passed the exam and became a candidate for the God of Wealth in Heaven."
I can't touch Jiangzhu either. Perhaps only after I've survived this ordeal will Jiangzhu be able to successfully transform into human form.
Ling Xiao opened her mouth and sighed softly, a glimpse of her fine white teeth flashing across her face:
"It's such a pity. I fought countless battles to prevent the Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb from being devoured by other creatures."
Lin Ruhai let out a soft sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing a little.
She began to silently pray that this Goddess of Wealth would become the official Goddess of Wealth, otherwise her own Yu'er might not escape her clutches.
Knowing this relationship, a picture involuntarily appeared in Lin Daiyu's mind:
On the vast Milky Way, waves surged and churned. A magical herb grew on the bank, swaying gently. Ferocious beasts guarded its side, gazing at the herb with longing from time to time.
Lin Daiyu clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and a sense of security suddenly rose in her heart.
"Daiyu thanked the Goddess of Wealth for her past protection and for saving her life now. Such kindness needs no words of thanks; if she were ever asked to serve, Daiyu would gladly die for her."
Lin Ruhai also hurriedly expressed his opinion, and Jia Lian followed suit, patting his chest.
Meanwhile, the three were extremely wary of Fairy Jinghuan, the mastermind behind everything.
"It's done!" Ling Xiao thought to himself. All that painstaking effort in fabricating the relationship was for this sentence.
With this impression, it would be perfectly logical for the "God of Wealth" to devour Fairy Jinghuan and other such figures in the future.
"The system is quite good. As soon as my injuries healed a bit, it remembered to put me in a world with plenty of food," Ling Xiao said to the system in his mind.
I'm emotionally exhausted and don't want to talk...
Here, the Goddess of Wealth accepted the thanks, flicked her finger on the rattle bracelet, and said calmly:
"I'm not helping you for nothing. Once you get through this ordeal and return to heaven, you'll have to work for me for at least three hundred years!"
