Duan Changqing was going crazy.
He never thought he’d encounter such a stupid thing!
When he entered this world, the first body he got was too broken. In order to survive, he abandoned that body and escaped with his divine consciousness.
Even though he hadn’t learned how to seize a home, the world accepted him, and he was soon reborn into a baby who just starved to death.
But his soul was severely injured. He could only curl up in the depths of the baby’s mind to slowly recover, without any way to control the baby’s body.
The body is his, but because his soul was injured, it was just like an empty shell without a soul.
The little baby doesn’t cry, doesn’t make trouble, doesn’t respond to the world, and simply lives by instinct.
He was asleep most of the time, and only woke up occasionally. When he was awake, he could only rely on his tattered consciousness to learn what’s happening, but he couldn’t control his body.
That this baby starved to death means that his parents are very unreliable… Indeed, Duan Changqing has gone hungry for a long time after being reborn. Fortunately, an old lady next door will sometimes feed him some rice paste.
But that’s just a drop in the bucket.
And he doesn’t know how to cry… The parents who birthed and raised him didn’t care at all and preferred it this way, but the old lady thought he must have some problem. Because survival was difficult enough, she gradually stopped feeding him.
Without food, he nearly starved to slowly. Even worse, it rained and the house started leaking!
According to what the people around him said, there are also many terrifying beasts that will kill and eat people.
Duan Changqing already knew a little about the world he entered. It’s a slum-like place, and no one’s life is easy. For example, the parents of this body had no stable income. They weren’t even married, and are just living together.
Under such circumstances, this child is a burden to them.
Sometimes when they didn’t make any money, they scolded him and left him hungry. Sometimes they made a little money, but they would rather buy wine than food, and lived in a daze.
Many people in the neighborhood got by in such a confused way.
And with the addition of exotic beasts that eat people…
Duan Changqing wanted to do something, but he couldn’t do anything and lost consciousness again.
Don’t know how long it took, but one day, he was awakened by an anxious voice.
Although his consciousness was asleep most of the time, after several months of wakefulness, he gained a basic understanding of the language here.
At this moment, someone shouted that the exotic beasts were coming, and asked them to find a place to hide.
Reaching his wisp of consciousness out, the person who warned them was a handsome young man in his twenties, whom others called “Xie Yunnan”.
The majority followed Xie Yunnan to escape, but the parents of this body were drunk, and they only felt it was noisy.
He wanted to cry for someone to bring him away, but the body was an empty shell and he couldn’t cry at all, and… quickly lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, his ‘parents’ were running for their lives.
Just when he was thinking that the parents of this body were not particularly bad, he was thrown out to feed the exotic beasts.
When he entered this world, he was already eaten by exotic beasts once. Who wants to be eaten a second time?
Duan Changqing felt like he was thrown to the ground, and the bloody scent of an exotic beast was close to his eyes… At this moment, Xie Yunnan, who warned them to escape, rescued him.
This handsome little guy isn’t strong, but he has a good heart. Holding him with one hand, and fighting the exotic beasts with his other hand. Even when he was bitten by exotic beasts, he didn’t abandon him.
His parents were killed by exotic beasts, but he was rescued by the handsome guy and brought to a nearby evacuation point.
The handsome little guy checked the situation, and left him to an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl to take care of.
The next day… the handsome little guy dragged his injured body and brought back two bags of milk powder, saying that he was a little malnourished, and asked the little girl to feed him the milk powder.
His condition wasn’t very good to begin with, but after being rescued by this handsome young man, he had milk powder to drink and rice cereal to eat, and became much healthier.
Most of the time, his consciousness is asleep in order to heal his injuries, and only occasionally wakes up. But as long as he wakes up, he will use his eyes and consciousness to look for the handsome guy.
The handsome little guy is of average strength, but he can still kill exotic beasts. And whenever he kills them, he will bring them back as food for them.
Duan Changqing likes this handsome little guy very much, but it’s a pity that he already has a boyfriend.
The handsome little guy’s boyfriend sometimes donates things to them… But Duan Changqing can feel that he dislikes them very much, and even has some disgust towards the handsome little guy.
This handsome little guy is good at everything, but his eyesight is not good.
Then, the handsome little guy found a master.
The handsome little guy’s master with burn scars on his face doesn’t treat them poorly, and does his best for the handsome little guy. Because of this, the handsome little guy’s strength improved rapidly.
Afterwards… the master-apprentice pair rebelled, and everyone entered Hongye City, which was much safer and protected by a city wall.
He was taken to the nursery by Xiaohua, who continued taking care of him.
The children in the nursery are all orphans who have lost their parents or were abandoned. They lack education and have bad manners, so fights and scuffles are commonplace. Luckily, everyone was suppressed by Xiaohuas.
Xiaohua posted Xie Yunnan’s photo on the wall, and told them what happened, educating them to be grateful to Xie Yunnan, and use their strength not to act against their own people.
The most important thing was that the Xiaohua would beat any disobedient kids harshly.
The children in the kindergarten became more peaceful, and although there is still some minor bullying, it wasn’t too serious.
And because Xiaohua took care of him, even if he doesn’t respond to the world and everyone knows he’s a fool, he never lacked food.
Doesn’t cry, looks good, and Xiaohua doesn’t hate him either.
As he grew up, Duan Changqing learned more about the world. He also discovered that although he can’t control this body, over time, some thoughts or intentions he had could be injected into the body that was originally an empty shell.
For example, he likes the handsome little guy Xie Yunnan very much. As a result, this body would stand in Xie Yunnan’s photo for a day, and couldn’t be pulled away.
Okay, he’s a fool, there’s no shame.
Another piece of good news is that his body is finally able to take care of himself.
Growing up day by day, even though food is in short supply across Hongye City, the nursery always has food. It’s said that most of it was sent by Xie Yunnan.
Xiaohua let him see Xie Yunnan several times at a distance, and he gradually learned more about the handsome little guy.
For example, Xie Yunnan broke up with his boyfriend. For example, Xie Yunnan’s master died, and Xie Yunnan became the City Lord.
When he was six years old, he went out to play and met Xie Yunnan’s team.
He hadn’t seen Xie Yunnan for a long time, and wanted to see him very much… Perhaps it was because he had this idea and his body was unprecedentedly flexible, so he avoided other people’s obstacles and ran to Xie Yunnan’s side to see him.
Of course, other people saw him, but Xia Qing recognized him and didn’t stop his actions.
His body couldn’t speak, but he gave Xie Yunnan his most precious thing, a piece of dried sweet potato.
In exchange, Xie Yunnan gave him some pieces of jerky.
Many years later, when this body was twelve, Xie Yunnan came to Hongye City to recuperate.
At first, he didn’t know Xie Yunnan was in Hongye City, but the Xiaohua left, so he subconsciously looked for her, and found that the Xiaohua was in a heavily guarded place…
He suddenly realized that Xie Yunnan was here.
Realizing this, the body that usually does not like to move became more flexible and drilled into the yard.
In order to avoid being caught by the guards protecting Xie Yunnan, he used his spiritual sense to confuse and befuddle them… And finally met Xie Yunnan.
Xie Yunnan is in his thirties now. He’s no longer the original handsome little guy, but a mature and reliable adult man.
Duan Changqing still likes Xie Yunnan, causing his body to stare at Xie Yunnan all day, like a pervert.
Xie Yunnan didn’t dislike him, and let him stay. After spending nearly two months with Xie Yunnan, he also learned more about Xie Yunnan.
He likes Xie Yunnan more and more.
This is the first time Duan Changqing liked someone. He wants to be with Xie Yunnan.
It’s a pity that his mature soul is encased in a child’s body, and he can’t even control this body. He can only watch “himself” cry in front of Xie Yunnan whenever he sees his injuries.
The doctor checked on and treated Xie Yunnan’s injuries every day, so he knew that Xie Yunnan needed treatment from a senior priest.
In other words… he needs a cultivator to help him heal.
He wants to cultivate, but it’s difficult.
The aptitude of this body is very poor. Although there is no shortage of food in the nursery, no one will give cultivation resources to a little fool.
Fortunately, despite the difficulty, he can slowly guide this body to cultivate.
At the age of seventeen, he finally drew his qi into his body, and according to this world, he became a priest.
His soul has also been recovered a lot, so he can stay awake more and more and exert more influence on this body, and occasionally even control this body.
Finally, his body also learned to cultivate on its own.
Now you know who the “little fool” is and the reason for his actions.
