The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands C.316: The Punishment of the System

Oh my! It's so sour.

Seeing Uncle Zhang and Han Ye didn't notice her contorted expression from eating the sour fruit, Lin Zaozao immediately turned her gaze to the small bowl Uncle Zhang had brought over.

It was a small bowl of rice ball soup, with red and green colors, looking particularly appetizing. Lin Zaozao picked up the spoon and took a bite.

The taste was amazing!

"Little girl, is it delicious?"

"Uncle Zhang, it's so delicious."

Lin Zaozao gave Uncle Zhang a thumbs up to express praise.

"If it's delicious, eat some more."

Uncle Zhang affectionately ruffled Lin Zaozao's fluffy hair, then turned and walked towards another table.

"Your Highness Han Ye, please eat first. I'll go call those two youngsters outside."

After saying that, Uncle Zhang headed towards the door. In a moment, the dejected Han Xibei and Dashan followed behind Uncle Zhang into the room.

"Why the long faces! Hurry up and eat. You two little bunnies, if you keep talking nonsense, you'll all be sent outside to fetch water."

Hearing Uncle Zhang's scolding, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but laugh at the memory of Han Xibei and Dashan's earlier argument.

"What's that aroma? It smells so good?"

Dashan sat on a chair, stretching his neck like a little puppy, sniffing around.

Until he walked up to Lin Zaozao and saw the rice ball soup in her bowl, he froze for a moment, his eyes immediately turning red.

"Uncle, uncle, this, this rice..."

"Shut up, little bunny, and come eat. You can't even control your mouth while eating."

Uncle Zhang approached Dashan, grabbed him by the back of his neck, and led him towards the other dining table.

Although Dashan's neck was held by Uncle Zhang, his eyes were fixed on the rice ball soup in Lin Zaozao's bowl.

Meeting Dashan's strange gaze, Lin Zaozao glanced at the rice ball soup in her bowl. Besides the good taste, it was just an ordinary rice ball soup!

This kind of rice ball soup should be quite suitable for a little kid like her around three or four years old. What was with Dashan's strange look earlier?

While Lin Zaozao was puzzled, Uncle Zhang and Han Xibei came out from the back with a bamboo basket and a white soup tureen, respectively.

Because there was a partition in the middle blocking the view, Lin Zaozao couldn't see what food they had in the containers, no matter how many times she looked.

Since she couldn't see it, Lin Zaozao focused on eating the rice ball soup in her bowl. When Lin Zaozao finally finished the rice ball soup, Uncle Zhang had also finished eating.

However, Lin Zaozao noticed several times when she looked up that Dashan was staring at her with a strange expression. Whenever their eyes met, Uncle Zhang would intentionally block Dashan's view. 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

After a while, Lin Zaozao's mind was filled with confusion by Dashan's odd behavior.

So when Lin Zaozao wanted to ask Dashan why he kept looking at her, Dashan was intentionally sent out by Uncle Zhang.

"Zhuzhu, did you eat enough?"

Han Ye walked over and asked softly.

"Brother Han Ye, I've eaten enough."

"Since you've eaten enough, let's go back! Remember to take the snacks Uncle Zhang made for you back to the Sacrificial Hall, so Han Xibei and Dashan won't steal them."

Han Ye affectionately pinched Lin Zaozao's chubby cheek, his face full of smiles.

After saying that, Han Ye ignored Lin Zaozao's objection, holding her in one arm while carrying the snack box Uncle Zhang gave her in the other hand, and headed outside.

"Brother Han Ye, aren't we waiting for Little Xibei?"

"No need to wait for him. He and Dashan still have to fetch water after finishing their meal, so they don't have time to play."

"Fetch water?"

Lin Zaozao repeated the words in confusion.

Han Xibei was a prince after all, so why did he need to fetch water? Could it be... he was intentionally fetching water to practice martial arts like the Shaolin monks?

On the way back, Lin Zaozao didn't encounter a single palace maid. How could such a large palace have no servants?

"Brother Han Ye, why are there no palace maids sweeping and cleaning in the palace?"

Lin Zaozao's words made Han Ye pause, his expression briefly turning unpleasant.

However, after a moment, Han Ye's expression returned to normal. He pulled Lin Zaozao closer and explained softly.

"Early, in the palace, apart from a few servants attending to Uncle Han Yunchuan and the Mingyue Priest, there are no other palace maids.

Everyone in the palace has to do their own chores, including us.

Of course, you're different, Zhuzhu. You're the future great priestess of Han Country, and you're still young. I'll arrange serving maids to attend to you later, in addition to the shadow guards."

"Brother Han Ye, let's not bother then! I'm just a child now, with nothing to do all day. I don't need any palace maids to serve me.

Besides, I don't want any special treatment that makes me different from others."

Hearing Lin Zaozao's murmurs, Han Ye smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Zhuzhu, then in the future, I'll come find you when it's time to eat. As for laundry and cleaning, I'll have Dashan come help you, how about that?"

"Okay! Brother Han Ye, when I'm a bit older, I can do those things myself. I know how to do all of them."

"Is that so? Zhuzhu is truly smart."

Hearing Han Ye's praise, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but blush. Although she was currently in the body of a little kid, her soul was that of an adult!

To be praised as smart by an eight or nine-year-old boy, how could she not blush?

When Lin Zaozao returned to the Sacrificial Hall, Gu Shan was waiting at the door. He nodded at Han Ye, then gestured for him to let Lin Zaozao down so she could walk back herself.

He was still a monster, so it was best not to touch Early or have any intimate physical contact with her.

"Zhuzhu, your shadow guard is here to receive you, so I'll go now. Oh, the Mingyue Priest has left some books for you in your Sacrificial Hall. Read them when you have time, they'll be helpful to you."

"Okay."

Lin Zaozao sweetly agreed.

Han Ye affectionately patted Lin Zaozao's head, nodded slightly at Gu Shan after standing up straight, and then left.

"Gu Shan, where did you go earlier?"

"To call my lord."

Little Gu Shan said with a stern expression on his small face.

"Go ahead, Young Master Gu Shan, where did you go just now?"

"I went out of the palace to have a meal."

"Outside the palace! Gu Shan, is it very near here?"

"Hmm!"

"Then can you take me out to take a look?"

"..."

"Can't you?" Lin Zaozao asked expectantly.

"Okay. But I can't carry you, you'll have to walk on your own."

"When I just woke up, you were able to carry me. Why can't you do it now?"

"That's because the future me was there. As long as he is present, I won't harm you when I interact with you."

"It's just a touch, is it really that serious?"

Lin Zaozao didn't believe it and tried to touch Gu Shan, but he dodged her.

"Don't touch me, it will hurt you."

"Alright then! If I can't touch you, let's just go outside the palace now."

"Okay!"

After following Gu Shan for half a day, Lin Zaozao still hadn't reached the "very near" place outside the palace that Gu Shan mentioned.

"Sister Lin Zaozao's Young Master Gu Shan, are we there yet? My legs are about to give out, they're aching terribly."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, she suddenly stumbled and fell straight ahead.

She fell so rapidly that even Gu Shan, who was walking by her side, didn't react in time before Lin Zaozao hit the ground hard.

Lin Zaozao felt pain all over her body. If she didn't have an adult's soul, she would have cried out loudly now.

It was just a fall, why did it hurt so much? It felt like her bones were shattered.

Most importantly, she fell on flat ground!

The path was so flat, and she didn't kick anything, so how did she trip and fall?

"Zaozao, are you alright?"

Gu Shan came over to Lin Zaozao's face, wanting to reach out and help her up, but it seemed like he was hesitating about something and retracted his hand.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

After grimacing for a while, Lin Zaozao crawled up from the ground at a turtle's speed. She checked her legs and wrists, there were no scratches, but the aching was excruciating.

"Zaozao, can you stand up?"

Gu Shan asked anxiously.

"I don't think so. Young Master Gu Shan, my whole body hurts so much."

Lin Zaozao said pitifully, resisting the tears welling up in her eyes.

"You stay here and wait, I'll bring someone over to carry you right away."

After saying that, Gu Shan vanished from Lin Zaozao's sight.

As soon as Gu Shan left, the voice of the damned system rang in Lin Zaozao's mind.

[Host, excruciating pain is also a form of sacrifice. Because you've endured excruciating pain, the system rewards you with the ability to rapidly grow plants. Please accept it, host.]

[Damned system, f*** you. I just said how could I possibly fall on flat ground? And it hurt so badly. Turns out it was your damn doing.]

[Host insulted the system, initiating electric shock punishment!]

As the damned system finished speaking, the familiar pain immediately spread throughout Lin Zaozao's body.

The intense agony made her feel like her very soul was trembling.

At this moment, she didn't even have the strength to sit up from the ground, and could only lie disheveled on the ground like a boneless dog.

[Damn system, just kill me if you can. If you can't kill me, I'll never do what you want and complete your damn mission.]

[Increasing electric shock punishment!]

After the damned system's cold voice, the pain became even more intense. Until Lin Zaozao was in so much agony that she lost all sensation, the pain finally subsided.

[Host, just cooperate with the system and complete the mission. After the mission ends, the system will send you back to your own world, back to your family.

If you dare insult the system again, the system will punish you more severely.

Next time, the punishment will be on your beloved younger brother Lin Luoluo. I will pull his soul into this realm to endure these pains in your place.]
