Chapter 230
230 Meatball and the Origin Space
When Old man Wang and the others returned to Hu Family Village, the sky was already dark, but they learned that Old Liu had already left.
Old man Wang was filled with frustration. “I didn’t know that it would take so long. I’m afraid the in-laws would think that we have something against him!”
It was too rude.
They had come over to help for the entire day. But not only did they not thank him properly, but they did not even manage to chat with him .
This was the first time the other party had come knocking on their door.
Moreover, when they came, they had brought two baskets of things. Although they were all mountain goods, their intentions were extremely well.
Old Madam Wang: “So what if I have something against him? Who was the one who married off his daughter without sending someone from his family over? If I were really an old wretched woman, would his daughter be ok?”
Old Madam Wang did not have a good impression of Old Liu.
Everyone said that she was an evil mother-in-law, but she did not think much of it. She had no power or influence. It was very easy for others to step on her.
When the Wang Family became more well to do, there was no need for Old Madam Wang to clarify.
But Old Liu’s daughter had been married off for a few years and they had never cared to ask if she’s doing well. Was this what a proper family-in-law should do?
Old man Wang: “...Isn’t that because you had a bad reputation in the past? You’re clearly not an evil person but you wanted to pretend to be an evil person all day long. Old woman, don’t you feel tired every day?”
“Is it good to be a nice person?” Old Madam Wang pursed her lips and said sarcastically, “In this world, there’s no lack of good people. The kind of people who don’t have much ability, but can’t bear to see others live badly. In the end, they will be the ones who lead the worst life. Good people will be rewarded? That’s the biggest joke!”
“Sigh, isn’t our daughter already back? Why are you still harping on this matter?” Old man Wang’s heart ached when he saw his wife deliberately portray a mean appearance.
The children might have forgotten, but Old man Wang would not forget how gentle and pleasant his wife used to be.
She was the gentlest woman in the world.
Even though Old Madam Wang was no longer the same as before, Old man Wang knew that she was still the same person.
“Don’t look at me with that disgusting gaze. Go and look in the mirror yourself. You’ll vomit two bowls of rice if you see your face!” Old Madam Wang looked at Old man Wang with disdain written all over her face.
Old man Wang: “...” I’ll just praise you in my heart!
That night, Little Ah Yu lay on the bed and thought of the elf.
She burrowed her consciousness into the spatial pocket and started digging again.
Without the companionship of the elf, Little Ah Yu would feel a little depressed every time she entered the spatial pocket. She ignored the increasingly beautiful scenery in the spatial pocket.
Those hanging fruits could not attract her.
The beautiful Merit Pool was still glowing, and a vortex appeared above it.
It had been there since the day the elf left.
Now, the vortex seemed to have become bigger and the color was a little darker.
Little Ah Yu looked at the vortex. “Elf, will you come out from here? I miss you so much. Will you still come? Elf, elf...”
Little Ah Yu was squatting by the merit pool. She had unknowingly fallen asleep, but she was still muttering about the elf.
At this moment, billions of light-years away, Meatball, who was packing up, suddenly sensed something.
All kinds of light spots entered Meatball’s body, causing obvious facial features to finally appear on its originally featureless face.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I say, you’re getting worse and worse. Why are you like this? How disgraceful!”
A three-dimensional ball of light floated in the air. The ball flickered with all kinds of light, even more dazzling than the light on Meatball’s body.
Meatball ignored it.
“Why are you back so quickly? Could it be that the person you’re protecting has died? I knew it. You’re still a brat yourself, so why did you follow others to be a guardian? Aren’t you making a fool of yourself? Your ward is finished in this life. Who knows how long it will take for you to find another ward? Why don’t you use this time to think about how to become a qualified guardian?”
Meatball originally intended to ignore it entirely, until the other party mentioned Little Ah Yu.
Meatball rushed over and sent the ball of light flying far away.
The light on the ball of light dissipated a lot.
“Are you serious? I only said a few words to you, but you’re so petty! You’re even angry from embarrassment!” Back then, when its ward died, it did not vent its anger like this.
Meatball: “If you spout nonsense again, believe it or not, I’ll send you into the Origin Space!”
The ball of light paused and then said angrily, “You’re too petty!”
In their galaxy, all life was eternal. If one was sent into the Origin Space, they would have to spend a lot of effort to come out.
There was really nothing in the Origin Space. There was not even any origin energy, and it would even consume their origin power.
All of them were born in the Origin Space. The Origin Space was what gave them their basic abilities.
After that, they had to accumulate energy themselves. This was a very long process.
For example, Meatball had an ability that looked very useless. It could enter and leave the Origin Space at will and even kick others into it.
There would be some life forms among them who could sense an existence related to their lives in the universe.
It would affect them to a certain extent, but not very much.
In order to survive for a long time, most of the capable life forms here would choose to become guardians.
They would have to travel through time and space to search for their ward. They would look in countless parallel worlds, distorted space, and black holes to find the ward that was the most compatible with them.
Then, they would protect them.
Meatball was the guardian of Little Ah Yu, and she was its only ward.
Meatball did not have the time to argue with the ball of light. It still had to rush back to accompany Ah Yu.
If not for the fact that it had returned, it would not have known that Ah Yu had almost been tricked badly!
...
No wonder it sensed that Ah Yu was in danger. It did not expect that there was a problem with the low-latitude system world that affected Ah Yu.
When the matter with Ah Yu was resolved, it would definitely settle scores with them. Don’t think that its ward was easy to bully!
It would take a lot of time to travel through time and space and stabilize the anchor point. It also had to be careful not to transmit itself to the wrong time and space. Meatball had no choice but to be completely prepared.
Before preparing to set off, Meatball took the initiative to go to the Origin Space and said to the endless Origin Space.
“Don’t give out those missions that put Ah Yu in danger anymore! Otherwise, I’ll chase all your children out and seal all your exits. Let’s see if you’re in a hurry!”
Origin Space: “...”
“That’s the child I’m protecting! I’ll take care of her myself. Don’t be a busybody!”
“Make up for everything that needs to be done! Otherwise, I’ll raise Ah Yu into a big antagonist. See if I have the ability!” At most, it would refine itself and abandon its body, using its origin energy to protect her. As long as the Origin Space was not destroyed, the entire universe could forget about finding Ah Yu!
Origin Space: “...”
Meatball snorted. “You’d better keep your word!”
After saying that, Meatball said, “Give me a coordinate anchor. Ah Yu misses me. I have to go back quickly.”
...
“I know you’re jealous. None of your children will miss you. Tsk, only I remember to look back at you...”
Origin Space: [...!]
An energy suddenly surged out and instantly squeezed Meatball out of the Origin Space.
