Inside a high-rise building in the center of the Imperial City of Country R.
With a dark expression, Taikubo Fuuya appeared in an ordinary office and angrily shouted at the unremarkable-looking young man wearing black-rimmed glasses who was sitting in front of the computer typing rapidly on the keyboard: "Satota! Help me investigate a little brat!"
Sota Igawa continued working, his face expressionless, and said, "Who have you set your sights on this time as your puppet material? Forty people have already gone missing from the Imperial City this month. Do you know how much effort I've put in to clean up the mess for you?"
The office door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a mature woman wearing a suit skirt and with her hair in a bun slowly walked in: "Feng Ya, too many people have gone missing in the Imperial City recently, which has attracted the attention of the higher-ups. Behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble for the church."
Fumio Okubo was furious and unwilling to accept it, so he said, "So I'm just going to swallow this bitter pill?"
"Is there anyone in this world who can make you, Taikubo Fuya, suffer in silence?" Following behind the woman was a handsome young man with short blond hair and deep-set features. He raised an eyebrow and smiled at Taikubo Fuya:
"That's really strange. Tell me who it is in 908, maybe I can help you get revenge~"
Within the Heavenly Cult, everyone knows that Taikubo Fuya is a bug-like existence. Not only is she a puppeteer, but the fact that she is the inheritor of the art of stealing luck means that no one in the cult dares to provoke her.
After all, no one wants to lose their luck, vitality, and merits for no reason.
Taikubo Fuya instinctively wanted to reveal Nan Yuanman's information, but the thought of letting these people know that she had been beaten back by a five-year-old kid and that the faith power she had painstakingly saved was gone made them laugh at her.
She hesitated.
Sota Igawa looked at him strangely: "You don't know who made you suffer in silence, do you?"
“How could I not know?” Taikubo Fengya said reluctantly, “I only know that she is the master who protects the Feng family, she is only five years old, her name is Yuanman, and she is from the Xia Kingdom.”
"She has a magical artifact that looks like a coffin, strange and powerful, which is very effective against my puppets."
"Five years old?" The blond boy couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Feng Ya, you don't have what the people of Xia call hysteria, do you?"
A five-year-old child defeating a renowned puppeteer? That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?
Taikubo Fuuya's face darkened, and with a slight twitch of his fingers, a tall man suddenly sprang out of the coffin in the corner of the office and charged straight at the blond boy.
The blond boy screamed in terror, his body trembling. A centipede landed and grew larger to block the puppet's attack. He was furious: "Takubo Fuuya! Are you fucking crazy?!"
"Ackerman, watch your mouth!" Taikubo Fuuya glared at him fiercely: "If I can't handle her, surely I can handle you?"
“Five years old… named Yuanman…” Sota Igawa felt that this information sounded familiar for some reason. He ignored the noisy sounds in the office and focused on clicking a few times on the computer: “Found it.”
The mature woman leaned closer for a look, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised: "Isn't this the ominous star that Master calculated five years ago, saying it would affect our plans? Wasn't she killed by Old Ghost Li?"
Sota Igawa pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Old Li was killed by her, and Xiao Zhenzi also died at her hands. My master was injured in the hand by her power of merit."
"Our backup plan in S City was also destroyed, and we almost attracted the attention of 908. Three days ago, the master contacted me and asked us to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the evil star and continue to move forward with the plan."
He turned to look at Taikubo Fuuya: "You can't seek revenge on her, lest you cause trouble for the master."
Taikubo Fuya never expected that the little brat was actually the ominous star feared by her master. She felt extremely aggrieved, but she could not disobey her master's orders, so she could only nod reluctantly: "I understand."
The mature woman glanced at Okubo Fuuya and slowly said, "We can't enter Xia Kingdom for the time being, but... we can contact the spies that Master has planted in Xia Kingdom and find some obstacles for the ominous star."
"She provoked us, we can't just sit idly by and not fight back."
Taikubo Fuuya's eyes lit up, and she cheered as she rushed towards the woman, hugging her tightly: "Yui-nee! I knew you were the best~"
"I'd prefer to have the nails kill her, and I want to turn her into the ugliest puppet!"
-
Xia Kingdom.
Nan Yuanman took two days off from kindergarten and secretly went to the back garden to perform rituals to send the puppets he brought from R country to the afterlife.
She also removed the bad luck from her three older brothers and told the Feng family the news that Yue Yaxin had told her in a dream. Only then could she return to kindergarten with peace of mind.
Even though she missed two days of class, Li Yuzhen and Lou Yuqi were still very enthusiastic about Nan Yuanman.
"Hey bro! Why haven't you been to class these past two days? Where have you been playing?" Lou Yuqi sneaked up to Nan Yuanman, his face full of longing. "Can you take me with you next time?"
He didn't want to go to class; he wanted to go out and play!
Li Yuzhen lay on the table, looking longingly at Nan Yuanman: "Boss, I want to go too."
Nan Yuanman shook her little head, speaking in a wise and mature tone: "No way! Your most important task right now is to study. I'll bear the hardship of playing games all by myself!"
Ms. Li, who had just walked into the classroom, almost burst out laughing. She coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the children who were playing around, and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, children, it's time for class! Today we're going to learn a story..."
Nan Yuanman sat up straight and listened attentively to the lesson, while also pushing Lou Yuqi, who was trying to take Li Yuzhen's seat, back to his original seat.
Li Yuzhen made a face at Lou Yuqi with a smug look, which infuriated him, but he also didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Nan Yuanman.
After all, the teacher didn't dare to hit him, and the other children couldn't beat him, but Nanmanyuan really dared to teach him a lesson.
His butt still hurts!
The children in the senior class are already preparing for primary school next year. In the morning, Nanmanyuan learns addition and subtraction from one to ten, and in the afternoon, they learn to recognize pinyin. They have a very fulfilling time.
At first, Nan Yuanman wasn't very familiar with the other children in the first grade, but later she was able to naturally get along with them.
Many of the children in the class admired Lou Yuqi greatly after learning that she had been recognized as their leader, and they all wanted to be recognized as her leader as well, which made Lou Yuqi very angry.
After a week passed uneventfully, during an extracurricular activity, Nan Yuanman, after using the restroom, keenly sensed a very faint resentment in the kindergarten.
When she tried to sense it more carefully, the resentment suddenly disappeared, as if the resentment she had sensed was just her imagination.
Nan Yuanman kept this sudden, disappearing resentment in mind, planning to investigate it thoroughly after school, when she suddenly saw Lou Yuqi running towards her in a panic: "Boss! Something bad has happened! Li Yuzhen is missing!"
