Chapter 421 - Separate Dimension? (2/2)

“You are the emperor and I am only a tiny official who has just stepped into office. In your hands, I don’t even have the chance to struggle so I can only accept my fate and die.” Yu Xiaocao felt her heart quiver with anxiety. She wasn’t sure how this old transmigrator friend would act and how he would treat her.

“Accept your fate and die? Why would I want to kill you? Did you do anything that is worthy of death? Or were you an evil bastard in your past life and murdered dozens of people?” Zhu Junfan ridiculed her as he replied.

“You are the evil…” The word ‘bastard’ didn’t leave her lips as she raised her head to look at the shining dragon robe on the other person. She immediately shut her mouth and shrank back like a frightened quail.

Zhu Junfan laughed noiselessly for a moment before he finally relieved her worries, “Don’t worry ah! As long as you don’t commit any heinous crimes, we will not kill you! We are quite delighted to encounter another transmigrator after so long, so why would we kill you for no reason?”

Yu Xiaocao let out a long, relieved sigh and felt her body relax completely. Zhu Junfan looked at her and then asked, “Old friend, what did you do in your past life? What happened to make you transmigrate over to here? What year and month did you transmigrate over on?”

When she saw that Zhu Junfan’s attitude seemed quite gentle, not at all like those transmigrators who were afraid of fellow transmigrators stealing their thunder and wanted to kill them as rivals, she felt her fears melt away. She paused for a second and then obediently replied, “In my past life, I was a very ordinary commoner. I didn’t even graduate from middle school when I had to go out to work. Later on, I opened up a braised food store and the business went quite well.”

At this point, she paused and thought of her younger brother’s exciting and dignified wedding. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, “That day, it was my younger brother’s wedding. I was so happy that I drank an extra two glasses of alcohol. When I was going down the stairs, I wasn’t careful and fell. Once I woke up, I found out that I had transmigrated into the body of a poor little fisherman’s daughter.”

“You also drank alcohol before you transmigrated over? Aish, I was out with my roommates celebrating at a restaurant on the night of our graduation. I didn’t even finish a bottle of beer when my head became dizzy. When I woke up, I was being born in the turmoil and chaos of war. Looks like you replaced a soul while I was reborn into an infant. But we were both put into this situation by alcohol ah!” Zhu Junfan let out a sudden sigh.

He had just graduated from a prestigious university and was about to go out into the world to do something big. However, he never expected that his soul would be sent into a different world and that he’d become a tiny infant that only knew how to cry. It was truly such a letdown! Even more annoying was that the previous dynasty’s emperor was still making his last struggle to keep his throne. He, who had just been born, had to flee with his new mother under the protection of some soldiers like a bunch of homeless vagrants. He almost died from this struggle! Luckily, his new grandfather very quickly managed to overthrow the dynasty and established the new Great Ming Dynasty. Only then did his life stabilize a bit…

“Old friend, when did you transmigrate over?” Zhu Junfan asked out of curiosity.

“Around October 18th 2017, likely right as the 19th started.” Yu Xiaocao had originally been planning on going home that night to go online and listen to her leader’s lecture. However, tragedy happened instead. Sigh, her younger brother must have also been upset. His wedding day was now the anniversary of his older sister’s death.

Zhu Junfan nodded and then casually said, “You were later than me by about three months. I transmigrated over in July...old friend, tell me the truth, when you transmigrated over...did the god of transmigration give you a big golden finger?”

Yu Xiaocao’s pupils suddenly narrowed and both of her hands tightened. How could such a small movement escape the discerning eyes of Zhu Junfan, who had been an emperor for seven to eight years? A flicker of joy flashed in him and he urgently followed up to ask, “What sort of golden finger is it? Is it a separate dimension with a spiritual spring where you can plant vegetation?”

Originally, Yu Xiaocao was quite nervous and on edge. When she heard this, she opened her eyes in disbelief and couldn’t help but say, “Your Imperial Majesty, is the hole in your head a bit too big ah?”

Not a single change in expression escaped Zhu Junfan’s gaze. When he saw this, he felt a bit disappointed. If it wasn’t a separate dimension, then what was it?

“Old friend, don’t worry ah. I’m not one of those shameless people who’s going to steal your treasure. Just obediently tell me what it is and stop hiding it! If you don’t have a separate dimension with a mystical spring, then how are you able to grow crops so well? It doesn’t seem to matter what type of plant it is either. In your hands, even the most common wheat doubles its output at harvest. Also, there’s the watermelons. They are sweeter than the ones sent for tribute and are even more delicious than the ones I ate in my previous life! If you don't have a mystical spring, then how can you, someone who had worked and was a small business owner, possibly come up with methods to craft medicinal pills and tinctures that are so effective? Tell the truth and stop trying to resist!”

Yu Xiaocao glanced at the multi-colored stone that was strung on her wrist with colorful string. She reluctantly said, “What separate dimension, that stuff doesn’t exist! I’m willing to vow an oath to the God of Transmigration. If I have a separate dimension and I’m not telling, then let me fall into an endless circle of reincarnation with all of my memories!”

‘Reincarnate with all of your memories? Are you sure that’s not a reward instead of a punishment?’ Zhu Junfan gave her a pointed look. However, judging by the little lass’s attitude, he was pretty sure that she didn’t have a separate dimension. Then just what sort of golden finger did she have?

Zhu Junfan looked in the direction that the girl had gazed at earlier. On her pale wrist, there was a colorful stone the size of a marble strung on some braided colored string——the little lass loved money but didn’t like to wear gold, silver or jade. Was her special item somehow related to this small stone?
