Chapter 2

Three and Half Year Old Villainess (2)

The system looked at the panel that showed less than ten points and fell into a weird silence.

Not to mention that it was a villain system whose job was to urge Jiang Xiaoman through the plot, even if it really wanted to save, there weren’t even ten points... save with what1?

For the first time, the system experienced for itself the sorrow of humans and experienced what is called the pain of ‘a penny stumps a hero’2.

“Mr. System can’t do anything either.” The system answered truthfully.

The timing when it’s bound with the host was not right. It should have been after Jiang Xiaoman was reunited with her wealthy family, but there was an error with the program and the timing was messed up. The system was bound when Jiang Xiaoman was still a toddler. Facing the villainess in a child’s body, the system was also very depressed.

What could a three or four years old child do?

“Grandma...” Jiang Xiaoman put her arms around Jiang Xiumei’s neck and rubbed it in her arms, her milky voice sounding weak.

Seeing that she was okay, Jiang Xiumei breathed a sigh of relief. She picked her up and brought her to the bathroom, gave her a small toothbrush, and said, “Quickly wash up and brush your teeth, then come with Grandma to school. We’re going to be late if we don’t leave soon.”

Jiang Xiumei was an old lady with no particular skills. Her son was disobedient and rarely went home. She had no choice but to work to support her family. She cooked and served meals for students in the canteen of the small town’s elementary school. She didn’t feel relaxed leaving her alone at home, so she would take Jiang Xiaoman with her every time she went to work.

Jiang Xiaoman replied unhappily, and obediently washed her face and brushed her teeth.

After hanging up the small toothbrush and towel, Jiang Xiaoman started daydreaming. She wanted to cry again when she thought of last night’s dream, but she closed her mouth and held back.

Even if she told Grandma, she wouldn’t believe it. Only Jiang Xiaoman could hear Mr. System’s voice and communicate with it. If she told her, Grandma would say that she was talking nonsense and find a shaman to cure her.

Jiang Xiaoman tried talking about it once, but Grandma thought she was talking nonsense and asked the town’s shaman to exorcise the evil spirits. Saying that it could drive away the evil spirits, the shaman brought a burning red iron pot and chased Jiang Xiaoman all over the yard, scaring her silly.
