Chapter 122: A Lucky Strike

More than a dozen corpse-ghosts were locked in separate transparent glass rooms, including men, women, the old, and the young.

Xiao Mi walked up to a glass room where a small corpse-ghost was imprisoned, and without caring whether the other party could understand her, she greeted them very enthusiastically and politely, "Hello there, little one~"

"..." Su Xi looked at the small corpse-ghost, who was about three or four years old and had gruesome bite marks on its wrists, and could not help but feel pity, "Xiao Mi, it cannot respond to you."

"Oh. What experiment is Big Sister going to do?" Xiao Mi took a large baby bottle out of her Small Storage Bag and drank two gulps, *gurgle gurgle*.

Su Xi took a piece of dried meat out of the System Space, "Give this to the corpse-ghost to eat and see what reaction it has."

Xiao Mi's eyes lit up; she handed the baby bottle to Su Xi to hold and took the dried meat, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Su Xi nodded, "Be careful not to get scared."

Although Xiao Mi looked very small, her true strength was such that even ordinary gods could not hurt a single strand of her hair, so Su Xi was not worried about her safety; she was more concerned with protecting her young heart.

This was also the reason why her many older brothers and sisters were helpless against her. Perhaps only her biological parents dared to strictly discipline and correct her.

Su Xi held Xiao Mi's hand, used a barrier to isolate the aura of herself and Xiao Mi, and used Teleportation to enter the glass room.

The small corpse-ghost remained in a daze, not moving at all.

Xiao Mi broke off a small piece of the dried meat and fed it to the small corpse-ghost.

The small corpse-ghost finally had a reaction; its mouth moved, and it swallowed it directly.

Xiao Mi stared at the small corpse-ghost and even asked, "Is it delicious? Do you want another piece?"

The small corpse-ghost's eyeballs suddenly moved, and Xiao Mi was startled.

Su Xi hurriedly pulled her behind her.

Xiao Mi said, "Big Sister, I'm fine."

As the voice fell, the small corpse-ghost collapsed to the ground with a 'Boom—', and then its whole body began to twitch violently!

Su Xi picked up Xiao Mi, stepped back two paces, and observed the small corpse-ghost.

Er Miao said to Su Xi: 【Host! The small corpse-ghost's already-rotting heart is bursting with new life.】

Xiao Mi squatted down and looked at the gruesome bite marks on the small corpse-ghost's arm, which were healing, "Big Sister, she seems to have come back to life."

Su Xi said, "It seems that Pseudo-Spiritual Energy is indeed useful against corpse-ghosts."

Hearing Su Xi's words, Xiao Mi took a Top-Grade Spirit Stone out of her Small Storage Bag, tapped it with her little finger, and the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone drifted out.

The small corpse-ghost was enveloped by the spiritual energy, and its young body gradually stopped twitching.

"Big Sister, have you been to see the World Tree of this world?" Xiao Mi asked Su Xi.

Su Xi said, "This world has no World Tree. I asked your silly brother, and he said that a world without a World Tree is also called an Order-Broken World, meaning its existence or destruction is optional. That is why it became a Box Mission."

"Then what is Big Sister going to do?" Xiao Mi asked.

Su Xi replied, "Actually, I have sensed the Master of Luck of this world; to restart this world, I need to find her first."

As soon as Xiao Mi heard that they needed to find someone, she immediately became interested, "Is it hide-and-seek?"

Su Xi knew she liked playing hide-and-seek and could not help but smile, "Something like that, only this time we are going to find her, not be the ones being found."

"It's all the same." Xiao Mi stretched out her little hand, "Show me her portrait, I will definitely find her for Big Sister the fastest."

Su Xi had Er Miao scan the appearance of the Master of Luck into an image and print it out as a picture for Xiao Mi to see.

Xiao Mi held the picture, then turned her head to look at the small corpse-ghost, "Found her, Big Sister."

Su Xi was stunned, "What?"

Following her gaze, the small corpse-ghost, which had originally been ashen-faced and gray-eyed like a ghost, had now turned fair-skinned with round, youthful eyes; the hair that had originally fallen out was now growing in as fine, soft, curly hair, which was brownish-tan.

"Big Sister, she has a red cross birthmark on her left shoulder, and the person in the picture has one too." Xiao Mi pointed to the faint red cross on the picture.

Su Xi looked at the small corpse-ghost, then looked at the picture, "Really? Is it her?"

【Host, it really is this child.】 Er Miao said to Su Xi.

Su Xi: 【... A lucky strike.】

"Our Xiao Mi is truly a master of hide-and-seek; you found her in an instant."

"Mm! Whatever other people Big Sister needs to find, Xiao Mi will handle it all." Xiao Mi patted her little chest, looking proud.

Su Xi patted her head, "When there is a need, I will look for Xiao Mi first."

"Okay." Xiao Mi looked at the little girl who had reversed from a corpse-ghost back into a human, "What is your name?"

The little girl looked blank, staring at Xiao Mi in a daze.

"She is still too young, she might not have any memories." Su Xi squatted down and said to the little girl, "Do you still have any impression of your mother?"

"Mother..." The little girl lowered her head and touched her own wrist.

Footsteps came from outside.

Su Xi said to Xiao Mi, "Let's leave here first."

She immediately took one child in each hand and used Teleportation to leave while holding them both.

The laboratory staff entered, took a perfunctory look, and then left again, completely failing to notice that the small corpse-ghost had gone missing from the glass room.

Su Xi took the two children and returned to the hotel suite.

Seeing the pastries on the coffee table, the little girl immediately pounced on them and ate them in big mouthfuls.

"It seems she has fully recovered." Corpse-ghosts do not eat this kind of food. If there is no fresh flesh and blood, they will stay hungry.

Su Xi took a bowl of hot meat porridge out of the System Space, "Here, eat this."

The little girl grabbed the pastry with one hand and picked up the meat porridge with the other to drink it, not needing a spoon at all.

Xiao Mi watched her eat and felt hungry too, licking her lips.

Su Xi returned her baby bottle to her, "Here~"

Xiao Mi took two sips and her eyes flashed, "Big Sister, the celebration shouldn't be over yet, right? Shall we go eat at the banquet?"

"That works too." Su Xi stroked the little girl's hair, "You need a name. Your hair is curly, so let's call you Xiao Juan."

"Xiao... Juan?" The little girl stared at Su Xi.

"Right, your name is Xiao Juan," Su Xi nodded. "From now on, if anyone asks your name, just say—my name is Xiao Juan, surname... Su, I suppose. Su Xiao Juan. Do you understand?"

"Un... derstand." Xiao Juan's thin, small face was stained with pastry crumbs.

"Xiao Juan, what a lovely name." Xiao Mi pulled a small floral hat out of her Small Storage Bag and placed it on Xiao Juan's head, covering her fuzzy curly hair, and wiped away the pastry crumbs while she was at it. "Let's go, big sister will take you to eat at the banquet."

Su Xi hurriedly said, "Wait."

Xiao Juan had changed into a new green ceremonial dress, symbolizing new life, which, paired with Xiao Mi's floral hat, looked very cute.

"Let's go." Su Xi took Xiao Juan's hand; this was the Master of Luck, after all.

Xiao Mi eyed Su Xi's hand, pouted, stepped forward to pull Xiao Juan's hand away, replaced it with her own, and then she pulled Xiao Juan along. "There!"

Su Xi: "..."

By the time they arrived at the location, the hall that had originally been filled with clinking glasses and golden splendor had now turned into a hellish scene.

Everywhere were newly transformed corpse ghosts, and among them, one familiar figure was none other than Lady Gao!

And beside Lady Gao, there was also a little boy crying.

Although Lady Gao had already turned into a corpse ghost, her remaining humanity made her use all her strength to protect her son.

Seeing Su Xi emerge from the elevator with two little girls.

Lady Gao's last remaining bit of reason pushed Gao Xing in Su Xi's direction. "I beg Miss Su to save my son! I am willing to gift all the wealth of the Yao and Gao families!"

But at a time like this, in the face of human life, who would still care about wealth.
