Qiao Zhen hadn't anticipated that the series of missions would require her to remain in the mission until she died of old age before it could be strictly considered complete. When Qiao Zhen was in her sixties or seventies, she couldn't bear to look at her aged face and slow movements any longer, so she chose to suffocate herself in bed, only to be discovered in time by Lin Zhao.
Later, under Lin Zhao's supervision, she dared not think about it again. Fortunately, when Lin Zhao was eighty years old, he felt that he had lived enough, so he left behind an autobiography, made arrangements for his affairs, and suffocated to death in bed with Qiao Zhen in his arms.
Qiao Zhen, who witnessed the new century at the age of ninety, finally died as if liberated. Her soul looked at the world as if a shattered mirror had suddenly exploded, a truly magnificent sight. Meanwhile, a wisp of deep purple mist rose from Lin Zhao's body; Qiao Zhen knew it was a wisp of the soul of the target's original body.
When Qiao Zhen returned to the Heavenly Realm, she resolutely ran several laps around the Heavenly Palace. Her friends all thought she had gone mad. Only Qiao Zhen, who had experienced weakness in her limbs, knew how exhilarating it was to run such a long distance in one go.
"Squeak squeak squeak." [Zhenzhen, I have eight candies now! Here are three for you (＊／ω＼＊)]
Qiao Zhen grabbed Chu Chu and said fiercely, "Confiscate everything, hurry up!"
Chu Chu flailed her legs, her paws covering her small chest in a rather suspicious manner.
"Oh~~~" Qiao Zhen looked at Chu Chu with an ambiguous expression, "Let me guess, Chu Chu must have hidden the candy in her little mouth, right?" She pried open Chu Chu's mouth, "Huh? No."
So she placed Chuchu in her palm, preparing to knead and flatten it like a glutinous rice ball, and Chuchu's little legs kicked wildly.
【I...I...I was wrong! I actually embezzled my superior's assets! I'm guilty! Please, Fairy Zhenzhen, give me a chance to repent and start over as a mouse!】 Chu Chu squeaked as she used her little paws to take out the candy beans from her arms.
Qiao Zhen snorted and plucked all the candy beans out of Chu Chu's arms, then grabbed Chu Chu by the tail and flung it away.
"Smack!"
Qiao Zhencai ignored the crisp sound and said without turning her head, "Stop pretending to be dead, we need to go and report back to the God of Taibai."
"This little hamster is really pitiful."
Hearing the clear voice, Qiao Zhen turned around and saw Chu Chu lying on the right side of a handsome man's face with her limbs outstretched, and a certain part of Chu Chu's body was right on the man's lips.
"Squeak—" Chu Chu let out a heart-wrenching scream of grief and indignation, then collapsed to the ground as if frozen in place. Its innocence—was gone!
Qiao Zhen's lips twitched. She squatted down and carefully picked up Chu Chu, gently stroking its back. She looked at Chu Chu with pity, but the smile on her lips was deep. "It is pitiful. I only inflicted physical harm on it, but the Immortal Lord inflicted spiritual humiliation on it."
"You don't recognize me?" the man asked with a gentle smile.
Qiao Zhen roughly grabbed Chu Chu by the back of her neck and stood up. She looked at him with a blank expression. "Should I recognize the Immortal Lord? We lowly immortals are always busy and often miss the Heavenly Palace banquets, so we don't recognize most of the Immortal Lords or fairies. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Immortal Lord."
"Your skill in saying one thing and meaning another is truly masterful," the man said with a half-smile, before brushing past Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen looked at the man with a puzzled expression. Was he praising her or insulting her? But the clothes the man was wearing looked familiar. Wasn't this a half-finished product she had woven with the morning glow at the textile workshop? Her gaze towards the man changed from puzzled to pitying. Poor immortal lord, he could only wear the half-finished product she made.
She chanted the incantation "鄯俍媄唎叽豸壳僾瑽懳锝筱า籹噭? (Qiao Zhen, a kind, beautiful, witty, cute, and intelligent little fairy)" to summon her cool, colorful Mary Sue mount, Cloud, and broke through layers of clouds to reach the palace of Venus.
Taibai Jinxing had been waiting for Qiao Zhen's visit for a long time. He slammed his whisk hard against the alchemy furnace, saying, "Don't you want my elixir anymore?! How could you be so half-hearted about such an important task? If I hadn't destroyed half of An Jun's wisdom, how could you have done it so easily! Such a simple task, and you still had to resort to unorthodox methods!"
Qiao Zhen is the type who responds better to gentleness than force. She was already feeling wronged, risking her life to complete the mission, and yet Taibai Jinxing still spoke to her like that ╯^╰ It's simply outrageous!
Venus didn't dare to completely anger Qiao Zhen, after all, he hoped for a win-win situation with Qiao Zhen. "Sigh, this mission is quite simple, so don't go looking for trouble again."
"Oh." Qiao Zhen responded, her bright black eyes twirling as she rubbed her hands together and grinned lewdly, "Then my elixir... hehehehe."
Venus, with a displeased expression, took out a golden medicine bottle from his wide sleeve. "This is only a low-grade superior quality, four pills in one bottle. If you can complete this task successfully, I will give you a medium-grade low-grade one." He then spread out his right hand, "Five pills."
Qiao Zhen confidently assured, "I will definitely complete the mission perfectly!" She picked up Chu Chu, who had just crawled into the alchemy furnace, and said, "Farewell, little fairy."
Taibai Jinxing watched Qiao Zhen walk away with a kind expression. Only he knew how heartbroken he was when he opened the alchemy furnace after Qiao Zhen left and saw that not a single elixir was left.
After entering the Void Realm, Qiao Zhen extracted her soul and then took Chu Chu, who was still in her original form, to a new mission world.
Memories flooded Qiao Zhen's head like seawater, making her head throb and her mouth seem to open uncontrollably, "Wah—"
Qiao Zhen felt as if struck by lightning. What had that crying sounded like? She covered her mouth with her hand, and the crying stopped abruptly. Mechanically, she looked down at her short, thin arms, then at the old woman in front of her whose head was half her body size. "Ah—"
The old man held Qiao Zhen and swayed back and forth, laughing so hard that his beard trembled. "Oh my, oh my, no wonder she's my Mei family's granddaughter. She's only a few months old and yet she has such a strong voice!"
Qiao Zhen finally understood what was going on. It turned out she hadn't fallen into a giant's nest; she had turned into a baby. And judging from the old man's clothes, they were probably modern casual wear. When no one was looking, Qiao Zhen secretly wiped away her bitter tears with her little hand. She could finally watch TV, go online, and play games.
"Aaaaah!" I want to watch TV!
"Waaaaaah!" I said I want to watch TV, did you understand? qaq
The old man's smile widened. "Zhenzhen is calling me Grandpa!"
Qiao Zhen: ...Is it really okay for you to force an explanation for my screams like this?
She should calm down and sort out her memories first. The original owner, Mei Zhen, according to the normal plot, was a girl addicted to the internet (Qiao Zhen: I love this role!), and a beautiful, sweet-voiced, and skillfully controlled game character. However, as a background character, she always inexplicably gets slapped in the face by the female lead, and the female lead's slaps in the face are always inexplicable—at least that's how Qiao Zhen felt after reading the plot.
The male protagonist is like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) who likes this spirit of not being afraid of power (the character in Mei Zhen's game is a god). So the two of them start flirting in the game's dungeons and become a pair of bickering lovers.
