The so-called discomfort for a few days every month... He eventually got the answer from his mother. Of course, while answering, his mother vigorously slapped her sexy little bottom with her enormous broadsword...
Alas, the past is too painful to recall!
"Oh. I see. Are you feeling unwell again?" Huoqian, thinking himself clever, chimed in, "Yeah, it's nothing. I won't treat you to cold drinks this time."
"Not feeling well?" Stone's head was a little fuzzy. What was all this about?
"Isn't that right? It's not like that, there are always a few days every month when I feel unwell. But, I really can't do anything about it!" Huoqian said very naturally, without feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable.
It's really not his fault. The key point is that although his mother beat him back then, she forgot to tell him that there are some things he shouldn't say carelessly.
And so, the stone was magnificently disheveled in the wind.
You feel unwell for a few days every month? Could you be any more shameless?!
The stone was enraged. It raised its fist and kicked...
"Awooo~~~" Huoqian screamed in agony. Stone's punch landed squarely on Huoqian's head, which wasn't so bad, since Stone wasn't particularly strong. The real problem was the kick. If Huoqian were standing, he'd at most have his toes broken. But, Huoqian was sitting on the ground, so Stone's foot landed squarely on his knee.
Huoqian hugged his knees and cried bitterly, "Waaah, I've already suffered enough. I was reincarnated as a real dwarf, and not only have I not grown taller in ages, but you also have to step on my knees! What if I end up disabled?"
Imagine a dwarf in a wheelchair...
This scene is truly, absolutely terrifying!
(╯﹏╰)
But Shi Tou was even more furious! She was still a young girl, barely eight years old! How could she be harassed like this! And the one who harassed her was none other than her seventh brother! How could she not be angry?!
"Gaga, Kagaral, you really are the number one loser in the capital! The most unlucky in history, no one dares to compete with you in terms of misfortune, the number one god of misfortune in the Fallen Empire~~~"
Big Baozi was very happy. It preferred Kagaral to its owner's real husband, Secamoro. The reason was simple: where there was Kagaral, there was bad luck, and where there was bad luck, there was bound to be laughter.
Therefore, in Baozi's mind, Kagalal equals a joke.
Huoqian knew exactly what Dabaozi meant by "bad luck," but he really couldn't refute it! At this moment, he hated his memory, which was comparable to a memory magic ball.
Waaaaah, people with such good memories are just too much to handle!
"You damn steamed bun, don't be so smug! Hurry up and turn into a steamed bun and eat all that gold!" Stone shouted at the steamed bun, which was still a black diamond, with his hands on his hips.
Baozi was completely dumbfounded. It couldn't believe its ears (although it really didn't have ears -_-|||). It thought its owner must have recently become obsessed with this pathetic game of pushing the boundaries: "Giggle...eat gold...eat...Baozi can't eat it all!"
"Can't eat it? Don't kid me. Didn't you claim you can eat anything? Why can't you eat gold?" Stone didn't believe Baozi's words at all. There was nothing he could do; Baozi's buns were just too bad. Stone simply didn't trust its bun quality at all.
Baozi trembled and cried out, "Gah! I can't eat it! Baozi won't eat stones!"
"Stone?" Ever since he was forced to change his name to Stone eight years ago, Stone has been particularly sensitive to the word "stone": "What stone? Gold is stone? You idiot! That's gold! Gold!"
"Hehe, gold, silver, even the most precious magic crystal, it's still just a stone!" Baozi declared. Although it was just a tiny steamed bun, it still had its pride and its bottom line. It would absolutely never do something as foolish as eating a stone!
Damn! Everything is made of stone. So my name is really something special!
Stone felt no pride in her name; on the contrary, she felt tormented!
"You damn steamed bun, you've even eaten your own poop, and you still say you won't eat stones? Humph, do you think stones are tastier than your poop?" Stone said angrily. But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
What?! Is she deliberately comparing herself to Baozi's dad?! -_-!
"Gaga, woo-la-woo-ah-ao-wa~~~" Baozi wailed loudly, but because it was now in the form of a black diamond, it didn't look as miserable as before.
Stone mischievously reminded him, "Your crying doesn't sound good. And there are no animation effects. Quickly turn into a steamed bun and cry again!"
Baozi was deeply shocked by the stone's shameless words. It finally understood: there are heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people, and shamelessness knows no bounds!
The stone clearly belongs to the latter category.
"Ahem. Um. Stone!" Huoqian finally couldn't hold back anymore. If this continued, even if Stone had a year, it wouldn't be enough time for her to cause trouble, let alone a day.
"What?!" Stone glared fiercely at Huoqian, thinking, "Even though my body has shrunk, I'm still confident I can make you unable to take care of yourself!"
Huoqian was quite embarrassed. He couldn't figure out what he had done to offend Shitou, but the anger on Shitou's face didn't seem fake. Helpless, he could only soften his tone as much as possible: "I'm just reminding you. You'd better hurry, it's almost dawn."
Shi Tou was immediately discouraged. Yes, dawn was approaching, and how much gold could he possibly carry?
Come to think of it, it's all that damn fire tongs' fault! If only he had given me a big bag of gold! I would have been so grateful to him. But he had to drag me into this gold warehouse instead (are you sure you didn't ask to come here?). Now look what happened, no matter how much I took this time, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable about it for the rest of my life.
There was once a mountain of gold before me, and although I wanted to cherish it, I couldn't... lift it! And so, I regretted it, I truly regretted it. If God gave me another chance, I would definitely say, "I want it all!" And if I had to add a time limit, I hope it would be: "Forever!"
"Stone, oh stone! I'll give you ten more minutes! Take it or leave it!" Huo Qian was really annoyed. This was too much! He was the number one loser in the Luo Ming Empire, that was true, but he wasn't the number one coward!
That's ridiculous! Even a loser like me has pride! o(>﹏<)o
Stone stared intently at the fire tongs with a look more mournful than if his own mother had died, and remained silent for a long time.
The fire tongs got goosebumps from the adorably bewildered look in the stone's eyes, and they all started doing the mining dance unique to the dwarf kingdom. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be angry, furious, or just plain crazy!
"Seventh Brother, I really, really want to move everything here away! What should I do?" Stone said quietly.
Huoqian was about to lose it. He felt he had seriously underestimated Shitou's shamelessness. Did this girl have any integrity at all?!
Girl! Your integrity has shattered completely!
"I said, you can't take it all! You can't!" Huoqian jumped up from the ground. His back ached, his knees ached, but nothing hurt as much as his balls!
"I know I can't take it all! But I want to, can't I even think about it?" Stone was deeply saddened. This is so fascist, can't I even imagine it?
Huoqian really wanted to grab Shitou's shoulders and shake him wildly while yelling, "No, no, no!"
"Why?" Although Huotongs didn't actually make a move, Shi Tou saw a familiar figure in his eyes. It was the figure of the legendary Roaring Cult Master!
Alright, Roaring Cult Leader, you are mighty and mighty, you have unified this other world!
Seeing that Shi Tou finally lowered his head guiltily, Huo Qian thought that at least this girl still had a little bit of shame! So, Huo Qian felt relieved and patiently lectured, "Because you're the kind of person who, once you start thinking about something, you can't help but do it, so just don't even think about it. Remember, don't even think about it!"
Stone's humble and receptive attitude made Huoqian feel much better: "Although these dwarves don't keep count, they're not stupid. If you really use your artifact ring to empty this warehouse, they'll definitely find out."
A magical ring?! A warehouse emptied?!
Stone's eyes lit up instantly, a light that sent a chill down one's spine.
Damn, fire tongs are so incredibly tempting! Why does she suddenly have this urge to empty this place outright?!

First update!
Friends, let's give a round of applause for the pan-fried buns!
\(^o^)/
☆, Chapter 89: The Bun Shows Its Power
"Stone? Stone!" Huo Tongs stumbled back several steps, almost falling to the ground. Oh my god, Stone's hot, burning eyes were so scary!
~~o(>_<)o ~~
Huoqian felt that ever since he regained his memory, his worldview had been in a constant cycle of collapse and reconstruction. Although in his memory, Shitou had always been somewhat unreliable, at least back then she could at least be considered a normal girl. Why now…?
"Seventh Brother~~~ Little Brother~~~ You're Stone's real brother~~~" Stone's eyes shone brightly as he pounced on Huoqian, mimicking Baozi's mannerisms, twisting his body and pouting as he said to Huoqian, "Stone loves you so much, mmm! (╯3╰)"
Suddenly receiving a passionate kiss, Huoqian was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. A sense of foreboding washed over him: "Stone, what are you trying to do?!"
"Seventh Brother, how could you say that? I'm your good sister!" A faint sadness appeared on Stone's face, and a worried look in his eyes made Huoqian break out in a cold sweat.
"What exactly do you want? Can't you just say it straight?" Huoqian was really, really depressed. Although he had never gotten away with anything from Shitou in his past life, shouldn't Shitou still be recovering his memories? Why did he feel that Shitou was even more ferocious than before?
Could it be that the stone was actually fake?
Feeling that he had figured out the truth, Huoqian immediately lost his composure. He first resolutely pushed away the stone in his arms, and then asked righteously, "Stone, have you regained your memories?!"
Memory? What memory?
Stone looked at Fire Pliers with a blank expression, but in Fire Pliers' eyes, who considered himself the truth-teller, Stone was clearly feigning ignorance. Immediately, he felt his teeth itch: "Stone!"
Well, other people are sharpening their knives to kill pigs and sheep, but he's sharpening his teeth to kill a stone!
Do stones get scared? Do they?!
"Hmph! Baozi, come here! Tell this princess how to use this thing!" Stone, always one to back down from a fight, decisively changed targets when faced with Huotong's questioning. What else could she do but change targets? Did she really want her to explain again? That she wasn't the person he imagined at all?!
Baozi glanced sadly at Shitou, only to realize that Shitou was pointing at the ring in her palm. She was immediately and deeply shocked: "Gaga, Master! You actually asked Baozi how to use Kagaral's Pursuit?! Oh my god! Master's gone mad!"
Stone immediately turned around, charged angrily at Jinshan, bent down and picked up a piece of gold. He turned around and slammed it heavily onto Baozi: "I'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed! I'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed! Are you going to tell me how to use this thing or not?!"
Hmph, we don't have the guts to mess with Huo Tong, do you think we'll let you off the hook?
"Gah! Gah! Help! Baozi doesn't know anything!" Baozi screamed repeatedly. Huoqian, who was standing nearby, finally couldn't help but say, "Shitou, it really doesn't know anything."
"You know nothing?! Who would believe that?!" Stone continued pounding on the black diamond-like bun, getting more and more enthusiastic with each blow. Hmph, so what if the bun really doesn't know anything? I'll abuse it right in front of you, let's see if you feel any pity then.
The stone, with its peculiar way of thinking, never considered that Baozi was her pet, so why should someone else pamper her? o(╯□╰)o
"Alright, alright. Stop hitting it, okay? I'll tell you, alright? I've never heard of a pet that uses spatial items for its life support..." Huoqian was embarrassed. Although he wasn't familiar with Baozi, he couldn't just stand by and watch the guy get to his death by his owner.
“Speak!” Stone put down the gold nugget and asked directly.
"It's very simple. You just need to use your mental power to pierce into the ring and then put what you want into it." Huoqian was filled with regret. It was obvious that Stone didn't know how to use a spatial ring at all. In fact, he had a feeling that Stone didn't even know that Kagaral's pursuit was a spatial ring.
Stone held the ring up to her eyes and examined it closely. Well, no matter how she looked at it, the ring was truly ugly. Was this thing really a spatial ring? Stone had serious doubts, but what she doubted even more was whether she possessed mental power.
What is mental energy? Can you eat it?
"What is mental strength?" The teacher said, "To know is to know, and to not know is to not know," so if you have a question, ask the teacher promptly. Well, if you don't have a teacher, just ask anyone.
Fire tongs were defeated by stone once again. What is mental power? You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? If he knew what mental power was, would he still be staying at the Dou Qi Academy?
"I don't know," Huoqian replied honestly, but unfortunately, Shitou didn't believe him.
Not only did he not believe him, but Stone also looked him up and down with a suspicious and disdainful gaze, which made Huoqian feel uneasy. An ominous premonition surged up again: "What do you want to do?"
"Damn it, you even asked her what she wanted to do?" Stone was furious. "Fine, don't tell me then! What's so great about that! Humph! Aren't you just afraid I'll use my spatial ring to empty this place? I'm so angry! If you won't let me move anything, then what's the point of keeping all this gold and silver here? Are you just trying to make me jealous?!"
Before today, if someone had told Huoqian that there are people in the world who can make burglary seem like a matter of course, and even blame other people for having so much money, he certainly wouldn't have believed it.
But now, he believes it.
Stone, oh stone, even if you've lost your memories of your past life, even if you're not a real dwarf princess, you still grew up in this simple and honest dwarf kingdom! How could you take shamelessness to such an extreme?!
"Why don't you help me pack it up!" Stone's big eyes rolled, and he decisively stuffed the ring into Huotong's hand: "Hurry up, I don't need much, just take away 80 or 90 percent of the things here."
