Part 3
Xiao Sun-sun transformed back into human form, first using a cleansing spell to remove the dust from his body and face.
“You’re back…” Xiao Sun-sun smiled foolishly.
“What exactly happened just now?” Wen Ying asked.
“It was… destroying the house… Grandma said… that’s what it’s called…” Xiao Sun-sun said slowly.
Hearing that term again, even though it wasn’t directed at her, Wen Ying still felt a shiver.
“Ahem, Xiao Sun-sun, perhaps you could call me Master, like Xiao Hei?” Wen Ying suggested.
“Okay…” Xiao Sun-sun agreed decisively.
Tsk, it seemed he was a repeat offender.
“Before, how did your previous master deal with him?” Wen Ying continued to ask.
“It was… just like what you did just now… throwing him off the mountaintop…” Xiao Sun-sun answered calmly.
So that’s it.
Now Wen Ying finally understood why, when she first saw Xiao Hei, when she carried him to the edge of the cliff, Xiao Hei said, “Climbing up is tiring.”
It was experience.
Heh, since he was full of energy, after Xiao Hei climbed back up the mountain, Wen Ying would let him expend his energy properly.
“Xiao Sun-sun, I didn’t have time to ask you earlier, why were you there?” Wen Ying returned primarily to ask about this.
Because Xiao Sun-sun spoke very slowly, after about an incense stick of time, Wen Ying finally learned the cause and effect of the matter.
The time when their previous master brought Xiao Sun-sun into the world was much later than Xiao Hei’s birth. Xiao Sun-sun only followed his master on journeys for a little over a year. Therefore, their previous master didn’t wait for Xiao Sun-sun to transform.
During that year, the master was always busy with one thing, transporting earth and organisms from various places to build the “ecological garden.”
Unfortunately, the master suddenly left Xiao Sun-sun in the ecological garden building one day, after it was only half-built.
The last thing the master said to Xiao Sun-sun was to tell him he could forage in the small pond built next to it, and then disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, Xiao Sun-sun had been diligently foraging and cultivating in the forbidden area, waiting for his master to return one day.
…Until Wen Ying.
Waiting for someone for hundreds of years, what kind of perseverance was that?
Wen Ying was somewhat moved.
“If I really am your master… I would be very grateful to you for waiting for me,” Wen Ying patted Xiao Sun-sun’s gray-haired head.
“I… always felt… you are… our master…” Xiao Sun-sun’s eyes were also a little red, “From now on… can I call you… master?”
“Okay,” Wen Ying nodded.
If she wasn’t their previous master… then she would be Xiao Sun-sun’s new master.
“I brought you braised pork, let’s eat together,” Wen Ying took out the sealed pork belly from her sleeve, along with two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks, and placed them on the table.
“Thank you… master…” Xiao Sun-sun sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks, and politely picked up a piece of braised pork, placing it in his mouth to slowly chew.
As he chewed, tears flowed down the corners of Xiao Sun-sun’s wrinkled eyes.
“It’s… it’s this taste… I finally… ate it again…”
…
After that, Wen Ying stayed on the mountain for three more days.
It wasn’t just idle time. Every morning and noon, she went to the Xunxian Sect to teach Wang Gou’dan how to cook.
While cooking, she would also inquire about the day’s cultivation content, thinking that if it was another interesting lesson from Elder Mo Ru, she would go and kill time.
However, because of the upcoming Trial of Immortals, all unnecessary classes were suspended and replaced with ordinary luck cultivation.
It was like the final exams were approaching, and the main teachers were trying to make the most of the time, while all the extracurricular activities were suspended.
The Trial of Immortals was a competition between various cultivation sects. Each sect would first select several disciples and then send them to compete.
The final victory or defeat determined the reputation of each cultivation sect.
Since the classes were boring, Wen Ying preferred to read those unnutritious and easily unfinished novels.
So, during these three days, besides teaching Wang Gou’dan how to fry eggs, tomato and egg stir-fry, leek and egg stir-fry, and some normal buns, Wen Ying also finished reading the second unfinished novel—
《Transmigration: The Immortal Sect’s Senior Brother Falls for Me》
This novel had the cliché plot of an early dog-blood drama, where the female lead had a childhood sweetheart fiancé, the senior brother of the Immortal Sect, but the senior brother always disliked the female lead’s crying and weakness, so he was attracted to another woman. After the transmigration, the female lead’s personality changed, attracting the senior brother’s attention, and finally, the senior brother repented and ended up with the transmigrated female lead.
This novel had even more flaws than the previous one.
So, the original female lead… deserved to die, right? The fiancé belonged to the original female lead, not the transmigrated one.
Wen Ying was already prepared for this unfinished ending, so her tolerance was much higher.
The ending was that the transmigrated female lead, while walking, suddenly tripped and fell, her soul being sent back to the modern world, separating her from the senior brother in both the modern and ancient worlds, only able to gaze at the moon together during the full moon, to comfort their longing.
Tsk, this was worse than just falling and dying.
After Wen Ying finished the novel, Xiao Hei finally returned to the mountaintop, ragged and panting.
When throwing Xiao Hei down, Wen Ying specially cast a spell on him to prevent him from using any teleportation or levitation spells, so Xiao Hei could only climb up step by step.
“You’re back,” Wen Ying glanced at Xiao Hei and said calmly, “Go change your clothes and turn back into a cat. Later, you and Xiao Sun-sun will go to the Xunxian Sect with me.”
Tomorrow, the Trial of Immortals would begin.
Tasks would come one after another.
Wen Ying was going to participate in the interesting events.
Wen Ying closed the book and stood up, only to see the familiar task bar appear in front of her.
【Task Failed】
It seemed to refer to the previous task of staying away from the cliff.
It only popped up now… meaning the system only came back to life now?
【New Task! The Female Supporting Character in True Daughter, Task Four: Always pay attention to your sign, don’t let anyone swap it!】
No.
Although it was a subtle difference, it was very wrong.
【System?】
Wen Ying tried calling out.
【Hey! Host, I’m here! What can I do for you?】
The voice was still that annoying voice, but the tone wasn’t the annoying tone.
The difference was… as if the previous one was an old social worker who had been muddling through countless social beatings, already numb to it all, while the current one was a rookie full of confidence and energy.
【Explain this task to me. I forgot.】
Wen Ying asked.
【Okay, no problem! According to the original text, the host will be the vicious second female lead who intends to kill Wen Meng, because Wen Meng is the real true daughter, so the vicious second female lead wants to eliminate her. But in fact, Wen Ying was deliberately arranged to be Wen Meng’s opponent, and someone deliberately incited them before the competition and drugged Wen Meng. Wen Ying is simple-minded and naturally fell for it, so she did it during the competition~】
It was indeed wrong.
The original system would never have explained this to Wen Ying.
Because it knew that it had done the task more than forty times, and it would never forget.
Well, let’s observe.
Wen Ying smiled.
Xu Mofeng’s matter, the system’s matter… the Trial of Immortals would surely be very exciting.
