Chapter 6: The God of Slaughter Tells a Story
Su Su, who had never heard a story before, was naturally excited. She nodded obediently, then worried that the system might not hear her, and quickly spoke in her mind.
"I'm ready, Lele!"
During the day, the system had already told Su Su that they could communicate directly in her mind and that she shouldn't let others discover their secret.
"No matter what happens, you must never let anyone know about Lele!" Su Su had solemnly nodded in agreement.
However, children were forgetful and often lacked awareness, so it was easy for them to inadvertently reveal secrets.
Just now, if Feng Xuanrui hadn't turned away to secretly wipe his tears, he might have seen Su Su's nod and become curious enough to ask questions.
The system, of course, didn't want to scold Su Su, but it needed to remind her.
"From now on, just talk to Lele in your mind and don't nod your head, or someone might see you."
If someone were to find out, both she and Lele would be in grave danger!
Su Su kept this warning in mind.
After realizing what she was doing, she wanted to nod again but quickly stopped herself. Instead, she instinctively pressed her lips together and remained silent.
There were two pieces of candied fruit. Su Su had only taken a small bite earlier. Seeing that Feng Xuanrui was quietly crying, she scooted a little closer to him.
Feng Xuanrui had been grumbling to himself: "Why aren't those servants here yet?"
Then, he felt someone approaching.
It was a small presence, but it carried a hint of warmth.
Feng Xuanrui turned his head and found himself face-to-face with Su Su's dirty little face, shining eyes, and...
A piece of candied fruit offered to him.
Su Su looked at him expectantly and said in a soft, timid voice, "Brother, you eat too."
Her gentle voice seemed to have a magical healing power.
Feng Xuanrui felt the bitterness in his heart fade slightly. He rubbed his face hastily and pretended to be fierce as he said, "I'm fine. I don't need to eat anything. You eat it quickly."
Su Su wasn't upset by his words and remained obedient, keeping her hand outstretched as she looked at him with those expectant eyes.
Feng Xuanrui wasn't really that full. However, he wanted to take care of his little sister.
In the past, candied fruit had been a mere treat for him to enjoy after taking his medicine.
But now, it was their dinner.
The bitterness in his heart intensified, and Feng Xuanrui felt his eyes stinging with unshed tears once more.
Boo hoo!
He was going to cry again!
Feng Xuanrui felt his control slipping. In Su Su's curious and concerned gaze, he grabbed the candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
As the sweetness of the candied fruit exploded in his mouth, Feng Xuanrui managed to hold back his tears.
Seeing that Feng Xuanrui had eaten the treat, Su Su smiled happily. "Brother, this is delicious."
Hearing her words, Feng Xuanrui proudly lifted his head. Even his disheveled eyebrows seemed to shine with a brilliant light. "Of course! This is food from the palace!"
After speaking, Feng Xuanrui lowered his head and looked at his pitiful appearance, then at Su Su's small face, which resembled a little flower cat. He hastily swallowed the candied fruit and added, "Wait until your brother takes you home. Then you can have whatever you want to eat!"
Home.
What a longing word!
But Su Su no longer had a home.
Her aunt and uncle had rejected her.
Moreover, there weren't any delicious treats like this in that home.
Even if there were, they wouldn't give her any.
She was a burden, a fatherless child, a...
An unwanted existence.
Thinking of this, Su Su bowed her head dejectedly, hugging her knees tightly and pulling her clothes closer to her body.
However, it didn't matter.
Su Su comforted herself, having grown accustomed to it. She was fortunate to have met such a kind older brother, and even if it was just for a day, it was enough.
Feng Xuanrui, who had never raised a little sister before, didn't understand a child's emotions. Seeing Su Su lower her head, he simply thought she was tired, so he gently stroked her head and said, "Go to sleep, and we'll be home after you wake up."
Feng Xuanrui's comfort calmed Su Su down.
She quietly spoke to the system, "Lele, let's listen to the story together."
The system had been waiting for a long time, and now that little brat Feng Xuanrui had stolen the show, it was feeling rather annoyed.
When it heard Su Su's words, it quickly and lovingly responded.
"Okay, here it comes~"
The system randomly selected a user, and after three seconds, an image of a person appeared in Su Su's consciousness.
When the system saw the person's information, it felt like the world had gone dark.
Wu Anjun - Bai Qi (White Initiator).
Was this a children's channel?
Had Bai Qi turned on a children's channel? Was this a ghost story?
Su Su didn't know who Bai Qi was, but she felt that the suddenly appearing uncle was exceptionally tall and mighty, even more so than her third granduncle, who was the tallest man in the village.
He looked a bit fierce, and his gaze carried an intimidating aura.
Su Su was a little scared and hugged herself tighter.
Seeing this, the system instantly felt heartbroken.
"Su Su, don't be afraid. He won't hurt you. He is... Little Qi, your story uncle for today."
The system thought to itself, "Thankfully, we have a protection mechanism in place. Even if the summoned bigshot is unwilling, they still can't say anything harsh."
After all, the system really did have an appropriate screening mechanism in place!
However, the God of Slaughter didn't seem to be in a good mood.
The system had no choice but to remind him of the system's guidelines once again.
The rewards for bigshots coming to tell stories were quite attractive. They could accumulate merit for themselves, their friends, family, and descendants.
In short, there were numerous benefits, and while the merit for each story was relatively small, it could still accumulate over time.
But, the God of Slaughter seemed a little unhappy.
The system had to reiterate the system guidelines to him once again.
"Little Qi, be gentle. He won't harm you, and he is... today's story uncle."
Su Su liked this kind uncle. Even though he looked a little scary, he had taken the initiative to greet her with a smile.
Lele had taught her during the day to be a well-mannered child.
Su Su thought carefully and then quietly said in her heart, "Hello, Uncle Little Qi. I'm Su Su."
After saying that, as if she had thought of something, she quickly added, "Thank you for coming to tell me a story."
This little kid was quite polite, but she looked dirty, with bloodstains on her face, making her seem a little scary.
However, to the God of Slaughter, these were mere trivial matters.
He cleared his throat and slowly began to tell the story.
"Su Su, hello. I'm... Uncle Little Qi. Today, I'll be telling you a story about how to fit forty thousand children into a single pit."
System: ???
Little Qi uncle was very gentle.
