Chapter 256 Her Talent Was Stolen, She Conquered the Stars

Good deeds never go out of doors, but evil deeds spread a thousand miles. Qiao Xi’s genius did not offset Qiao Ci’s uselessness. These noblewomen knew where to hit to cause pain, never mentioning their younger daughter Qiao Xi.

Mother Qiao had no advantage in terms of status in front of them and could only endure humiliation, losing both money and face. She was extremely angry.

She could only wait for Qiao Ci to return to vent her anger on her.

“You still know to come back? You’re always hanging out with those boys from the mecha class. You’ve disgraced the Qiao family’s name.”

Before Qiao Ci even entered the house, Mother Qiao’s voice reached her ears.

Qiao Ci glanced at her with a faint expression, only replying faintly, "Oh."

Mother Qiao had expected that Qiao Ci would at least show some shame after hearing her words, but instead, she replied with a nonchalant "Oh!" Was she going to be subjected to anger after being angered outside? Mother Qiao’s nose was so crooked with rage.

“Oh, what ‘oh’? Hurry up and quit the mecha class. What good can you learn as a girl mixing with those boys? Since you have no spiritual power, then focus on academics. Relying on our Qiao family, you can still get a decent position. Don’t embarrass yourself outside.” Mother Qiao knew her words were a bit harsh, but she was also provoked by the sarcastic remarks of those noblewomen.

“Oh,” Qiao Ci responded and went back to her room.

Mother Qiao, her biological mother, had been very indifferent to her before the original host underwent the spiritual power test. Qiao Xi, who had a second chance at life, would often whisper in Mother Qiao’s ear, causing Mother Qiao to dislike the original host even more.

Upon learning that the original host’s spiritual power was 0, she became increasingly disappointed in her. She heard that Qiao Ci had destroyed the intelligent brain during her second test, and the school had also demanded compensation from the Qiao family, so Mother Qiao’s words became more and more sharp and sarcastic.

After all, she was her biological mother, and she couldn’t let her daughter die. So she thought of letting her do some logistical work and then marrying her off when she reached a suitable age.

However, Qiao Ci did not appreciate this remaining maternal love and was unwilling to communicate with her further. Kuaishuge.

“Host, you’re so miserable, woo woo woo, don’t feel lost or lonely, Little Spoon loves you.” Little Spoon came out again to make its presence felt.

Qiao Ci glanced at it with a blank expression and said in a faint voice, “If you’re bored, go see what the male and female leads are doing. How do one person and one bug… get along? Preferably record it.”

“Got it!” Little Spoon accepted the order and stealthily went to Qiao Xi’s residence.

Qiao Xi looked at the golden little bug, about the size of a long loaf of bread. Its large, dark, and bright eyes bulged outwards, making it appear very cute.

“You must still be a bug larva, right? I brought you back because you look harmless enough. You’d better pray you don’t grow up and don’t become ugly, otherwise, you’ll die!”

The little yellow bug also had two small antennae on its head. It twisted its body and turned its backside towards Qiao Xi, which amused her.

She poked the little yellow bug with her hand, “Are you angry? If you keep showing me your rear, I’ll kill you right now~”

The little yellow bug remained still, seemingly looking down on her.

It must have hit some of Qiao Xi’s soft spots, as she picked up the little grasshopper and kissed it.

The yellow bug’s body turned red at a visible speed, which Qiao Xi found quite amusing.

Then, Qiao Xi placed the little yellow bug on the small bed specially prepared for it by the bedside.

When Qiao Xi fell sound asleep, the golden bug transformed into a handsome man with antennae on his head. He blew a pale yellow, turbid gas towards Qiao Xi, making her sleep even more soundly.

“You woman are quite interesting, actually picking me up. What, do you want to raise me? Do you know the serious consequences of capturing me?”

He reached out and touched Qiao Xi’s face, a devilishly charming smile curling the corners of his lips. He slowly opened his mouth and said, “Woman, how about I trade you?”

Saying that, he leaned in and kissed Qiao Xi’s temple.

He muttered to himself, “Raising a human little pet doesn’t seem too bad.”

Little Spoon watched with relish and, by the way, recorded the scene between them.

Then, he heard the golden bug chuckle and say, “I heard you detest your sister Qiao Ci the most. Shall I go teach her a lesson for you?”

Little Spoon dared not watch any longer and quickly told Qiao Ci that a bug was coming to teach her a lesson!

Qiao Ci was resting with her eyes closed, not even bothering to lift her eyelids, “Mm, I know.”

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a golden bug hopped into Qiao Ci’s room. Seeing that she was asleep, a flash of inspiration struck it, and it thought of a good way to deal with her.

Human women valued their chastity the most. Today, he would find someone to ruin her reputation, making it even harder for her to face Qiao Xi in the future.

In the original plot, Long Mieshi had placed a sturdy bodyguard from the Qiao family in the original host’s room. Although nothing substantial happened, everyone looked at Qiao Ci with mockery and ridicule, making her feel so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide.

This time again?

The golden bug entered the room, intending to knock Qiao Ci out first so that it could bring a large man into her room without her knowledge.

As soon as it approached Qiao Ci, a hand wearing a white glove directly grasped its lifeline, rendering it unable to move.

Then, a clear and faint voice entered the golden bug’s ears,

“What an ugly thing, its color is like poop.”

The golden bug was displeased at being called ugly and, struggling, sprayed out the pale yellow, turbid gas…

“Is this diarrhea?”

The woman’s voice sounded again.

Then the golden bug found itself thrown with a ‘splat’ onto the cold wooden floor. Immediately after, a scorching heat began to roast it. The golden bug’s eyes were so irritated it couldn’t open them, and it was periodically flipped over and roasted.

Golden bug: …

What happened? Who am I? Where am I?

Little Spoon in the system space was almost splitting its sides laughing. Wasn’t this jumpy poop bug just clamoring to teach Host a lesson, but now it’s being taught a lesson?

Looking at it being almost roasted to a crisp, it would probably be renamed Black Scorched Bug soon!

The golden bug was so burned it was dazed. It didn’t know how long passed. Just as it could no longer bear it, someone kicked it out of the window.

Fearing exposure, the little black bug didn’t even think of revenge… actually, it didn’t dare to. It shamefully crawled back to Qiao Xi’s room.

Little Spoon saw its comical and miserable appearance, covered its mouth, and giggled, “Host is still awesome. It’s so burned that its own mother probably wouldn’t recognize it, hehe~”

“What mother? Long Mieshi’s mother?” Qiao Ci felt that Little Spoon was implying something and asked curiously.

“No, Little Spoon means Qiao Xi. It’s said that a woman who marries a dog follows the dog, and a chicken follows the chicken. If she marries the little black bug, won’t she be the little black bug’s mother? Hehe, now, she definitely won’t recognize it and might throw away the ugly little black bug, and then they won’t have a future.”

Qiao Ci raised her eyebrows and denied, “She won’t bear to throw it away.”
