“Little Nice, pay attention to safety.”

“Little Nice, play in other places. I’m very busy.”

“Little Nice, I, your sister, bring you new toys.”

Whenever she heard these things, Nice was very sad.

Why did people all call her “Little Nice”! She was obviously not little!

In just a few days, she would be thirteen years old.

A 13-year-old girl seemed to be nearly an adult. In some relatively backward areas, many young girls of this age could even marry and have children. Even on earth, China, the country with the longest history of civilization, had always followed the rule that a 14-year-old woman is able to raise children. Ancient Chinese people used the nominal age, which was exactly 13 years old.

However, because Nice inherited more fairy blood than usual from her mother’s side, her growth rate was a bit slow. She was already 13 years old, but it seemed that she was still only about 10 years old, or even younger. In short, she looked juvenile. Because she looked so young, everyone liked to add a “little” when calling her name. Thus “Nice” became “Little Nice.”

This made Nice very upset, and she often complained to her mother and sister about it.

“Why does this matter? You are really little,” said Mrs. Teague.

“But my sister is only five years older than me!” Nice protested. “People call her ‘Miss Liv,’ and some even ‘Mrs. Liv’!”

Liv couldn’t help but smile. “Because I’m more mature. Just a few years down the line, people will start calling you Miss Nice,” she said.

Nice stared at her sister’s eyes steadfastly. After a few seconds, Liv couldn’t help but turn her face away. Nice shouted, “Sister, you’re lying!”

“I didn’t lie to you. You will grow up in a few years.”

“When you were thirteen, you were much taller than I am now!” Nice gestured. “At that time you were almost as tall as your mother!”

Liv grinned. Because she had a more human bloodline, her physical development was basically unaffected. When she was thirteen, she was a small adult.

“We are sisters! Why are we so different?” Nice said sadly. “You must have taken away my height!”

“Can this kind of thing be taken away?” Liv grimaced, turning to look at her mother and get some support.

However, Mrs. Teague just laughed and said nothing; she knew the two daughters were calmly arguing about unfounded issues.

Because she learned a lot of government affairs from her husband, she was also known as an expert in this area. Currently, in Gars City, she was in a position with a not-so-low status, and good income. A good job, of course, also inevitably made her busy. Every day back from work, watching Nice disputing with her sister about height and other issues became light entertainment.

Liv was made speechless, and ended up blurting out nonsense. “You have inherited more elves’ heritage. Although you grow up slower, you’re aging slower too! When your sister is old and dead, you will be young!”

“I don’t want my sister to die!” Nice cried.

After some trouble, Liv, was exhausted and went to take a rest. Nice was tired too, and fell asleep. She slept soundly and had a funny dream.

In the dream, she returned to the original road from Golden Tower City to Cloud Tower City. She held a pink pig in her left hand and a green jellyfish in her right hand, and smiled sweetly.

Just then, the jellyfish opened its mouth.

“Nice, do you want to grow up?”

Nice nodded, naturally. “Yeah! I want to grow up!”

“Why?”

“When I grow up, I can help my mother and my sister.”

The green jellyfish could not help but laugh. “You’re a good kid,” it said.

“I’m not a kid!” Nice protested angrily.

“Okay, okay, you’re not a kid,” The green jellyfish whispered. “The period has arrived when you’ve become rebellious.”
