Chapter 82: Heavenly Anomalies… Not Going to Do It!

Old Bai had a bad premonition.

“Old Bai, Old Bai.”

Ah Bao’s bottom was almost in, but she turned her head and poked her head out.

Old Bai was already disheveled by the wind, not expecting fate to come so quickly.

“Master, what’s wrong now?”

Ah Bao pouted and turned her eyes around, “I forgot to take my lollipop. It’s buried under the fifth brick from the north side of the herb garden.”

“A lollipop, really!”

“No, I want my lollipop. If I don’t eat candy, I’ll suffer in my next life.”

Old Bai: “… Let’s go. We’ll try again next time.”

“Okay, next time then.” Ah Bao was all smiles.

The third year.

“Old Bai, Old Bai.”

Bai Wuchang stood there, no longer wanting to speak.

“I’m hungry.”

“There’s food in the human world, and milk too. Please go quickly, time is almost up.”

“No, I’m too hungry and too weak to reincarnate. Maybe next time?”

Bai Wuchang: “……”

Master, please… spare me!

The Fourth Year.

“Old Bai, don’t forget I still have gold chunks planted in the corner of the wall. Have they sprouted yet? Have they grown little gold pieces?”

“Oh no, missed the time again. We’ll come back next year…”

The Fifth Year…

Until the Tenth Year…

Ah Bao finally succeeded in reincarnating.

The little girl’s head no longer appeared in the Path of Reincarnation.

Bai Wuchang wept tears of joy!

Master, ten times, a whole ten times! Finally, you’re gone.

At this moment, the anomalies in the Human Path had ceased.

Ten times, a whole ten times.

This time, there would be no more anomalies.

Who is this, trying to reincarnate ten times without success?

Just making a lot of noise and scaring people.

He couldn’t handle it, absolutely couldn’t handle it.

But in the tenth year, Ah Bao was born, and… there was no anomaly.

However, a family looked at the anomaly and was incredibly excited.

Every year on this day, Concubine Han would hold Di Hongluan in her arms and kneel to pray.

“Thank you, Heaven, for blessing the Di family with a person of great wealth and nobility… Hmm, why is there no anomaly for Luan’er at ten years old? Oh well, maybe next year.”

In the middle of the night, Ah Bao woke up and turned over.

Muttering two words in her sleep: “Silly fool!”

And then she fell back into a deep sleep.

……

……

The Palace.

In the dead of night.

A dark figure sneaked into the royal kitchen, lifted the lid of a pot, and saw a large chicken drumstick inside. The eyes lit up with excitement, “Sister, you’ve got a chicken drumstick to eat, hahaha.”

The boy removed his face towel—it was the Seventh Prince, Di Zian.

He carefully placed the chicken drumstick into a small food box.

This was his sister’s food for tonight.

Tonight, Di Zian had visited Ah Bao, who had tearfully complained to him.

Back and forth, ten sentences.

And ten sentences all about the big chicken drumstick.

His heart ached for his sister. So what if it’s just a chicken drumstick? If mother won’t let her have it, he, as her brother, would.

Steal it!

No matter what, his sister must have a bite of the chicken drumstick tonight.

Just as Di Zian had stolen the chicken drumstick and was about to head back, he noticed another dark figure sneaking in.

Di Zian: ?

Wait.

Someone else was also stealing chicken drumsticks for his sister?

Di Zian hid and saw the second person sneakily approach a steaming rack and take a few small buns, stuffing them into a bag.

Di Zian: ???

Who is this person?

With patrols outside, the black-clad figure quickly hid.

Di Zian felt a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the person walked toward him, hiding in his spot.

In the darkness, the two stared at each other.

“You…” Di Zian was just starting to speak when the other person covered his mouth and nose with one hand, drove a knee into his abdomen, and then began to beat him up.

If the patrols hadn’t just passed, Di Zian wouldn’t have been able to endure without making a sound.

He grabbed the attacker’s wrist, “Who are you…”

The attacker’s pale face was illuminated by the Han moonlight, revealing only clear, large eyes— a little eunuch?

The attacker was dressed as a eunuch but was masked.

The attacker stepped directly on Di Zian’s instep. Di Zian bent down in pain, and the attacker quickly escaped.

Though the attacker was small, they were agile, quick, and accurate, darting away like a slippery little fish.

Di Zian: ?

This beating was completely baffling.

Di Zian quietly returned to Yihe Palace with the chicken drumstick. Concubine De wasn’t there; she had been summoned by the Queen Mother with several other Concubines.

Among them was Concubine De.

Concubine De had instructed Zhilan to watch Ah Bao.

Ah Bao had already slept for a long time and was now awake.

Di Zian sent Zhilan out and took out the prepared chicken drumstick. “Sister, sister, look…”

Ah Bao was sitting on the floor, bored, playing with a cooked egg.

When she caught the smell of meat in the air, her saliva immediately started to flow. “Meat… meat…”

[It’s a chicken drumstick! A big chicken drumstick!]

[Wow, the big chicken drumstick my brother brought is so delicious.]

Di Zian tore the meat from the chicken drumstick into small pieces and placed them in a small plate. Ah Bao eagerly grabbed a handful, and Di Zian quickly whispered, “Sister, eat slowly, just a little bit. If you eat too much and get a stomach ache, I’ll be scolded.”

Ah Bao grinned, swinging her little legs on the chair, “Mm-mm…”

Ah Bao ate several pieces until she couldn’t fit more in her mouth, but with only two small milk teeth, she couldn’t chew the meat properly. After a few attempts, Di Zian had to let her spit it out.

Ah Bao: “…”

I ate in vain!

I ate in vain!

I couldn’t eat the meat that was almost in my mouth, ahhh.

But even with just a little meat flavor, Ah Bao was quite satisfied. Then she noticed the bruises on Di Zian’s face.

“Brother… your head is hurt…” Ah Bao pointed at Di Zian’s forehead.

Di Zian winced in pain but smiled warmly.

Ah Bao blinked her round eyes.

[Is my brother having a hard time since he came to the palace?]

[Who beat him up, and why is he smiling like that?]

“Sister, it’s not broken, and it doesn’t hurt.”

[It’s all bruised, and it doesn’t hurt?]

[First time seeing someone so happy after being beaten up.]

Di Zian smiled, looking at Feng Zhuo who was standing aside. Feng Zhuo had been guarding Ah Bao during the day and now was on the roof at night.

“Anyway, wherever my sister is, that’s where I’ll be.

As long as my sister isn’t in danger, Feng Zhuo won’t make an appearance.

“Sister, do you remember when I told you I also wanted to find a little eunuch as a bodyguard?”

Ah Bao sucked on her little fingers, which had the taste of meat. She was very happy and nodded.

“That’s right, my sister’s memory is really good. Ahem, today I finally found a promising little eunuch.”

“Who… is it?”

[Are there any little eunuchs in the palace as capable as Feng Zhuo?]

[I wonder who brother found.]

Di Zian wore a mysterious expression, “By the way, I don’t even know the name of this person yet, or which palace they work in.”
