Chapter 228 (1/2)

In the next second, Nan Xun understood why this little beggar was hiding in the pig pen to grab food for pigs. Her stomach was dry and shriveled, and if she didn’t eat anything, she would soon starve to death.

Seeing that the food in the stone trough was about to be eaten by a few fat pigs, Little Eight hurriedly reminded, “If you don’t grab it now it will all be eaten by pigs! The body this grandpa just found for you is about to die from starvation!”

Nan Xun, “Dear Little Eight, could you please… roll away?”

Little Eight didn’t roll away. He continued to persuade, “A body that can hold your soul without having any rejection isn’t easy to find ah, don’t waste this body.”

Nan Xun curved her brows and smilingly said, “Isn’t this a simple thing? I remember that you have a Bigu Pill ah. I won’t be hungry anymore once I eat one, give me one immediately.” [T/N: Bigu Pill is a pill in cultivation world where you can eat one to rid yourself from getting hungry]

Little Eight: !

“How unexpected, this grandpa can’t help but look at you with admiration when you have such a good memory. However, grandpa very much regrets to tell you that the Bigu Pill is a low level medicinal pill. This grandpa is already out of them because of giving you one in Daddy Li Chen’s world.”

Nan Xun was a bit doubtful. “How come you only have one pill?”

Little Eight was annoyed. “Why is it impossible for this grandpa to only have one? If this grandpa had a lot, when you were trapped in the Demon King’s bedroom and dying from starvation, this grandpa would have been able to reward you one at will. Also, in Fuyu’s world, you wouldn’t need to carry small and big bags to the ghost’ house. If you hadn’t almost completed your mission when you were imprisoned in daddy Li Chen’s world, this grandpa wouldn’t be willing to part with it for you.”

Nan Xun: …

Alright, she believed him.

Bigu Pill was a low level pill in the high plane world. Little Eight was always bragging about how he was such an awesome mythological beast this and that, he indeed belittled these kinds of things. [T/N: basically, Little Eight thought highly of himself that he looked down on ‘low level’ pills, so he didn’t get much of those.]

Little Eight, “So, do you still want to eat pig feed?”

Nan Xun rolled her eyes to the sky, touching her empty belly. She crawled out of the pig pen with difficulty, and then seriously knocked on the farmhouse’s front door.

The farmer that opened the door was dressed in coarse cloth. When he saw that a little beggar was the one knocking, he immediately closed the door, but Nan Xun clung to it in a death grip. “Uncle, please help me ah, I haven’t eaten for a few days already and I’ll die if I don’t eat a little bit. If I starve to death at your door, then it wouldn’t be good for the child in your wife’s stomach ah.”

The farmer had an absurd expression. This little beggar dared to inquire about his home before begging, and even knew his wife was about to give birth?

The farmer hurriedly threw two roasted sweet potatoes to Nan Xun, and sent her away like the beggar she was. Oh, right, this time Nan Xun was indeed a beggar originally, and she was even dirtier than ordinary beggars. Her small face was all black with mud, it was impossible to see her true appearance.

Had Little Eight not repeatedly ensured that the little beggar would be a little beauty after being cleaned, Nan Xun planned to just starve to death then and there.

After Nan Xun got the roasted sweet potatoes, she didn’t rush to eat them. She peeled the skins and chewed them slowly.

After the two sweet potatoes arrived in her small tummy, that previous feeling of being starved to death’s door was gone, and Nan Xun slowly recovered her strength.

The original owner of this body was called Li Yunduo. Her name was really common, but Nan Xun felt that her name was already elegant if compared with those dark village girls. [T/N: Yunduo 云朵 means mass of clouds]

When Li Yunduo was very young, her hometown in the Beiwu Kingdom suffered a drought. No grain could be harvested, so her parents took her to the Nanyun Kingdom, but they met a group of bandits and were killed instead. She hid in a bush, staring wide-eyed as her parents’ necks were severed from their bodies, while the only food left on her body was also taken away.

The little Li Yunduo gnawed on tree roots and grass along the way and finally arrived at the ‘flourishing kingdom’ that her parents talked about obsessively—Nanyun Kingdom.
