Wen Gu would not disappear even after billions of years…
--History of Huaxia
Before he taught her a lesson, he had to see who was behind her. It was impossible for a young girl of seven or eight years old to come out alone. However, when the Floater looked at the entrance of the shop, he didn't see anyone else. Other than the owner, there was only him and the little girl left in the shop. This time, the Floater was relieved. He reached out and pinched the little girl's face, saying,""Didn't your parents teach you the principle of first come, first served?”
For some reason, the little girl did not dodge. After her face was pinched, her eyes were filled with tears, but she still argued loudly,"I got it first. I came when the alien insects invaded. When I was about to buy it, I heard the alarm, so I went home. I'm back to take it back now. I've paid for it.”
" Uh..." The Floater was instantly embarrassed. He didn't think that this little girl would lie to him, but as a man, he still had to bear the responsibility. He immediately lowered his body and apologized to the little girl,""I'm really sorry!"
"You stole my things and even took advantage of me. Can you fool me with an apology?”The little girl immediately pulled a long face and looked at the floating monster angrily, as if she was a big bad guy.
" This…" The Floater scratched its head. It was indeed bullying him, but it didn't say that it was taking advantage of him. He was just a little kid. It just felt that he was cute, so it couldn't help but pinch him.
He rolled his eyes and thought of an idea."Look, I didn't do it on purpose. If you see anything you like later, I'll buy it for you. Take it as my apology, okay?”
"Alright, that's what you said!" The little girl's expression softened, but she was still angry.
"Yes, yes, I said it. See, what do you like?”The Floater let out a sigh of relief, but it felt a pain for its own credit points. It had just gotten some from its cheap uncle and hadn't bought anything for itself yet. With this pinch, it would probably cost a lot. It hoped that the girl wouldn't be too discerning.
"Hey, what's your name?" The little girl looked around at the shelf full of jewelry, not playing with it in her hand, looking like a very experienced person.
" Why aren't you polite at all? I'm obviously better than you. You should call me brother." The Floater was also looking at something. He hadn't forgotten about the important matter, but he didn't want to have more interactions with the girl, so he didn't ask her name. He didn't expect her to ask first, so he replied angrily,""My name is Floater. Little girl, what's your name?"
" My name is Catherine, Catherine's Kai, Catherine's Se..." The little girl answered seriously, but before she could finish, the Floater interrupted her,""Alright, I got it. Catherine's Lin, right?”
"You're so smart!" Catherine turned around and looked at the Floater. She smiled and said,"" I'm 120 years old this year…"
The Floater was instantly petrified. What kind of old witch is this? She's 120 years old and looks no different from a 7-or 8-year-old child.
Looking at the Floater's interesting facial expression and the constant changes in his expression, he knew that he was scared. However, this guy definitely didn't think of anything good. He regretted it a little and immediately explained,"I'm from Perrett."
Hearing this, the Floater immediately woke up. He wanted to slap himself. Why hadn't he changed his mind? This was the Great Universe Era. Why was he still so small-minded? The lifespan of the Perrett people was 1,200 years, and 120 years was about 10 years old for humans on Earth.
Although humans on Earth could live to 800 years old, their growth was the same as when they were 100 years old. The adulthood period was still 18 years, but the youth period lasted to 100 years, and the prime period lasted to 600 years. This was very unique in the universe. Unlike other races, their development stages were basically based on an average ratio.
" Then you should also call me big brother. I'm much older than you." The Floater laughed, trying to cover up his loss of composure. Then, he asked," Why are you running around? There were alien insects invading this place, so it's not safe. Why are you here?"”
" You can call me brother, but you have to promise me one more thing." Catherine smiled slyly at the Floater.
He knew that this little girl didn't have any good intentions, but he didn't want to get too involved. If she didn't want to call him, then so be it. Anyway, he didn't have a lot of meat. He immediately said,"Then forget it."
"Humph-stingy!" Catherine stomped her feet and continued to pick jewelry. As she picked, she said,""I'm not alone. I came with my cousin. My cousin went to the black market. I came to get the things from last time. My bodyguard is outside the shop.”
" It's actually a rich young lady…" The Floater muttered softly. He didn't expect the little girl to hear it. "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't have any ill intentions, I would have called the bodyguards in to beat you up."”
"Who are you trying to scare? If I can't beat you, can't I run away?”
"My family's bodyguards can be Pavol, how can you run away?”
The Floater was stunned again. Pavol Clan? Spiritual force was second only to the god race, and everyone knew how powerful they were. To actually be this little girl's bodyguard, it seemed that this little girl's identity was not simple. It was better not to provoke those with extraordinary identities, and they could not be involved. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome. Some might even die. They instantly lost interest in talking and quickly sent this ancestor away.
" Hey!" Catherine thought that her words had hurt the Floater's heart, so she lowered her voice and called out softly.
"What?" The Floater immediately walked over and said,""Which one do you like?"
"No, why aren't you talking?”
" I'm also looking for a gift for my auntie," the Floater laughed.
"Oh? You want to visit her? Why are you buying antiques? "Go and buy some luxury accessories," Catherine suggested to the Floater.
" This is the first time we've met, and we're going to live at her house in the future, so I wanted to buy an antique to send over." The Floater scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and smiled."I'm boarding."
"Where's your family?"
"She's already dead. This auntie was only recognized at the last minute. She was originally going to be someone else's servant.”The Floater explained with a smile. It didn't seem to be sad because of the loss of its loved ones. Instead, it was happy that someone had taken it in.
"You don't even have a family. Why aren't you sad at all? He still had to be a servant. Did he not have any other relatives or assets?”Catherine was very curious. Why was this guy so heartless and unambitious? He actually wanted to be a servant.
"My parents died a long time ago. My grandfather was killed by a strange insect a few days ago. "I'm a commoner and don't have much property. If I want to survive, I have to be a servant or a scavenger or a miner in the black market. I don't have a good family background like you. As long as I can survive, I'll be a servant." The Floater sighed. Thinking of these things, he felt a little lonely.
" Forget it. You don't have to buy me anything to compensate me. I forgive you." Catherine didn't expect this person's background to be so miserable. However, no matter how she looked at it, this person didn't seem sad at all. He seemed to be very indifferent. What a magical guy.
"No, a man of his word is a man of his word!”The Floater waved his hand heroically, completely forgetting his petty mentality of having a headache over money.
"Alright then!" Catherine tilted her head and asked curiously.
Suddenly, the two of them lost interest in talking and continued to look for things.
The Floater saw a thumb-sized black stone hanging on a white chain made of some unknown material. It looked very beautiful, but he didn't know what kind of stone it was.
He picked it up and took a closer look. There were Chinese characters on it. It was actually an ancient poem that the Floater was familiar with.
The Floater looked at the tiny but neat words and instantly had the urge to cry. He could not help but mutter,"It's hard to find water in the vast sea, and there are no clouds except for Mount Wu. I'm half destined to cultivate and half destined to be a monarch…"
Catherine heard the Floater muttering in a language she didn't understand. She came over and saw the Floater holding a black stone necklace and muttering to himself while looking at the painting on it. However, she didn't understand the language he was speaking, but it was very beautiful.
She frowned slightly and used her telekinesis to read the information in the floating monster's language. She didn't expect the meaning of this sentence to be so beautiful and sad. She was stunned.
After the shock, she became very interested in the Floater. She also saw the carving on the stone. She was sure that she did not recognize it. She thought it was a painting, but she did not expect it to be words.
She took advantage of the time when the floating monster was wandering in space to scan the words on the stone with her portable AI and quickly searched for them. However, she did not expect that similar records were found in archaeological sites of some lost civilizations. Archeologists all thought that this was a kind of painting, an abstract painting. She was a smart girl. She was sure that the Floater could read these words, so she was even more curious about the identity of this boy who claimed to be a commoner.
"You recognize the carvings on it?" Catherine asked carefully.
"No, I don't know him. I just think he looks good.”The Floater's brain didn't go crazy this time, and it immediately came back to its senses.
"Then what were you mumbling about just now? I don't understand. Even the AI can't translate what you're saying. According to the syllables you're uttering, there are as many squares as the ones carved on this stone. You must know them.”Catherine's eyes were filled with curiosity and suspicion.
"You're mistaken. I'm just giving instructions to the artificial intelligence to search for this carving and see what it means.”The Floater quickly started spouting nonsense. Why was this little girl so nosy?
"Alright, what did you find?”Catherine decided not to force the Floater anymore. She would find an opportunity to trick him again, but she had to figure out his identity first.
"No!" The Floater shook his head and took the stone to the shop owner.
"Shop owner, where did this thing come from? Are there any more?" The Floater raised the stone in his hand and asked the shop owner.
The shop owner opened his eyes and glanced at the Floater. He ignored him and said,"" 2,400 credits!" He continued to close his eyes to rest.
"Can you tell me where this thing came from? "I can buy your information with money," the Floater said anxiously.
"If you don't want to buy it, then leave. This is not an archaeological information exchange!”The shop owner didn't even open his eyes as he said indifferently.
" You..." The Floater was about to say something when he felt someone tugging at the corner of his shirt. When he returned, he saw Catherine beckoning at the Floater indifferently.
"What's wrong?" The Floater lowered its body and asked.
"If you give this necklace to me, I'll definitely be able to find out where this thing came from.”Catherine whispered.
" Hmm..." The Floater thought for a moment and felt that this little girl's background was not simple. She should be able to help, but he was not worried that others would find out that he knew this language. When the time came, he would say that his cheap grandfather had studied it and that an archaeologist who had stayed in the hotel had mentioned it. He thought that it was a kind of language, but he had not confirmed it. After thinking it through, he agreed to Catherine's request.
" Give me your AI. I'll connect with you. I'll let you know if I have any news. Put it down. I promise I'll get it for you," Catherine said, looking like she was taking care of everything.
"Alright, thank you in advance!" The Floater removed the AI from her wrist and handed it to Catherine before continuing to look for jewelry.
The other things were nothing special, except for a pair of earring that looked quite ancient. It was shaped like a water droplet, carved with roses, and inlaid with a few small gems. It looked very elegant. It was it.
When she came over with the earring, Catherine returned the AI to the Floater and asked curiously,""Are you staying at Major General Weimar's house?”
"Yeah, he saved me, and he gave me the AI. He only tied the AI to my information this morning. How did you know that I was staying at his house?”
" I accidentally saw your message when I connected. The address on it is Major General Weimar's address." Catherine had secretly checked all the information about the Floater, and it was exactly as he said. This made Catherine even more curious, but after seeing Weimar, she was sure that she would see this guy often in the future.
"Oh, I've chosen. Do you have anything else to buy?”The Floater placed the AI on his wrist and swung the earring in his hand at Catherine.
"No, you can pay the bill!" Catherine said with a smile as she hung the stone necklace around her neck.
He didn't expect the earrings to be so expensive. It cost 6,000 credits. Including the necklace for Catherine, he spent a total of 8,400 credits.
"This is for you. You need it!”When they were walking out, Catherine handed the bracelet to the Floater.
"Why?" The Floater was confused.
" Major General Weimar has a daughter." Catherine raised her eyes at the Floater.
" Holy sh * t, how could I forget about this? I'll go back and buy it again. This is what you like." The Floater patted his head. What kind of memory was this? How could he have forgotten about his sister? Weimar had even specially said that he wanted to get along well with his sister.
"It's fine. I can only give this to a girl. There's nothing else that looks good. Didn't you give me this necklace? "At most, you can just give me something the next time we meet," Catherine forced the bracelet to the Floater.
" Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony." The Floater chuckled. Indeed, there was nothing to see. It was indeed inappropriate to give other things to girls, but this bracelet was just right.
"Biao Younger Sister, why are you staying with a stranger? Aren't you afraid of danger?" A very magnetic male voice was heard. The Floater looked up and saw a young man with long golden hair, greasy hair, and a slightly evil face walking in.
