"Gaga, Master has it! Master has a delicious treat in his hand! Master is so stingy! Baozi is so pitiful!" Baozi is definitely not stupid. As soon as he heard what Shi Tou said, he knew that his trick had worked, so he immediately threw a tantrum even more enthusiastically.
Stone looked at her hand with a puzzled expression. There really was something in her hand—a book that Elder Chishi had casually pulled from the nearby bookshelf when he left. The book wasn't large, about the size of an adult's palm, or roughly half the size of an A4 sheet of paper in her previous life. It wasn't thick either, only about fifty or sixty pages, but it exuded a sense of history. Opening the book, she saw tiny, tadpole-like characters densely covering the entire page.
Stone, who had always been afraid of physical books, felt a throbbing headache after just one glance. She quickly closed the book and looked at the still-rolling dumpling in confusion: "I don't have any treats in my hands! Look! I didn't bring any food in my pockets, not even a bottle." Although Stone is already three years old this year, as the youngest child in the family, she still receives quite a few perks. One of these perks is—a constant supply of pure, natural breast milk.
Stone was quite resentful about this.
"Giggle! It's so delicious, so delicious! Baozi wants to eat the delicious food in Master's hand!" Hearing Shi Tou's words, Baozi instinctively stopped what it was doing, glanced at Shi Tou, and said, "It's the delicious food in Master's hand!"
Shi Tou paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Baozi seemed to have a habit of swallowing garbage. She glanced down at the book in her hand; it looked quite old. Thinking about what Elder Chi Shi had said before leaving, Shi Tou hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the little Baozi about to go berserk, she immediately stopped hesitating.
"Here!" She decisively tossed the book in her hand to the big steamed bun, but this time Shi Tou's eyes were fixed on the steamed bun. She was very curious about how the steamed bun ate.
Resting his chin on his hand, Stone looked at Baozi with a conflicted expression. Baozi first stopped crying, then unfolded all the pleats, turning the entire dumpling skin into a round pancake. The pancake slowly grew bigger and thinner, eventually wrapping up everything on the ground in one go.
Shi Tou was completely convinced. OTZ
After making a fuss for ages, Baozi finally got to eat the delicious food she wanted, and she was so happy! Moreover, she firmly believed one thing: crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide were the most effective methods!
Although it's just a steamed bun, there's no way it could hang itself.
"Giggle, so delicious! Master, I want more buns!" The big bun shook its pleats, indicating its unsatisfied desire.
Stone frowned, looking quite helpless: "You still want to eat? But, these books..."
"Giggle! Baozi is still hungry! There's so much delicious food in the house! Waa ...
Stone was immediately exasperated. What kind of lousy bun was this?! "Alright, alright, eat it if you want!" Stone was completely at a loss with this bun. She simply couldn't explain the issue of ownership to it! Helpless, she turned and walked towards the towering bookshelf next to her.
He casually picked up a few books from the bookshelf, and even tidied them up a bit, thinking to himself, "There are so many books, losing a few probably won't make much of a difference, right? Besides, Baozi eats and poops! At worst, I'll just put them back after it's done!"
The idea was really good, but unfortunately, Stone overestimated Baozi's digestive capacity. By the time Elder Chishi returned, Baozi still didn't feel the urge to poop.
Stone, looking guilty, followed Steel Hammer home. Elder Red Stone had only called her out from the doorway; he hadn't entered the library, so naturally he hadn't noticed the missing books. Stone sincerely prayed: "I hope he's senile, I hope he's senile..."
Before going to sleep that night, Shi Tou, as usual, took out Baozi: "You little rascal, you pooped pretty quickly last time, why are you so slow this time? Are you doing it on purpose?"
"Giggle, Master! The bun hasn't digested yet!" The big bun looked aggrieved and squirmed uncomfortably. "The bun will definitely poop later!"
What's the point of scrolling down?!
Shi Tou counted on her fingers for a while. She realized that Baozi had eaten a total of thirty-three books in the library. She was afraid of being discovered by Elder Chi Shi, so she chose relatively thin books. Even so, the total volume wasn't small. At least she couldn't return them openly.
"Baozi, don't poop tonight. I reckon Daddy will take me to see Elder Shit-Eating again tomorrow. You can poop secretly when we get to the library!" Stone was very thoughtful, but fearing that Baozi might disagree, she threatened, "Remember, you can only poop tomorrow if I tell you to, otherwise, I'll make you eat poop tomorrow!"
Baozi visibly shivered, then obediently bounced up and down, saying, "Giggle, Baozi will be good! Baozi will poop again tomorrow!"
Shi Tou patted Baozi approvingly, then suddenly remembered something very important: "Baozi, you said that eating food can devour memories? So, do those books from earlier have memories?"
"Hehe, of course! Everything has memories! The older something is, the richer and more colorful its memories are!" Baozi said proudly, mentioning its special skill: "The more interesting the memory, the tastier it is!"
You glutton!
Stone rolled her eyes at Baozi with disdain. She had figured it out; if Baozi were human, he would definitely be a world-renowned glutton.
No! Memory devouring! Since the steamed bun can devour memories and even distinguish whether a memory is interesting, does that mean it can understand the text in a book?!
"Baozi, let me ask you, can you understand the words in those books?"

Chapter 43 A Life Full of Misfortunes
Shi Tou looked at Bao Zi with anticipation, thinking that perhaps Bao Zi's role was to be a living dictionary!
"Giggle, I don't recognize it!" But Baozi immediately disappointed her: "A baozi is a baozi, how could it know words?"
"Crash!" Stone's heart shattered into pieces. Did that mean that Baozi could do nothing but eat, poop, and talk? Waaah, he was still a useless piece of trash! Stone was extremely depressed, even worse than a purely ornamental pet.
Baozi shook its pleats, completely bewildered as to why its owner's mood had suddenly soured: "Hehe, owner! Why are you unhappy? Did you break up with someone again?"
Heartbroken...
Stone is depressed again. In her past life, she was an extremely single woman; blind dates and heartbreak were both taboo subjects for her.
"Hehe, it's not heartbreak!" Baozi was even more confused when it saw Shi Tou shake his head. The pleats opened and closed repeatedly: "Then, Master, did you fail to flirt with a handsome man again?"
Stone:"……"
"Giggle, is that not it? Oh, Baozi knows! Master must have successfully flirted with the handsome man, but the handsome man told you about it, right?" Baozi's whole body was in a knot. If it wasn't, then it really couldn't think of any other reason.
Stone was practically spitting blood with rage. Gritting his teeth, he viciously extended his claws and used all his strength to flatten the steamed bun: "When have I ever flirted with a handsome man? And when have I ever had a man? This princess is still a virgin!" He pressed harder, determined to flatten the bun into a pancake. But halfway through, Stone suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a curse skill: "You damned steamed bun, this princess curses you to become a scallion pancake!"
Then, something horrifying happened. The large pleats of the bun opened up again, and tiny green, unidentified objects flew out, clinging tightly to the bun's skin as if they were coated with superglue. Finally, an invisible force compressed the round bun into a thin pancake.
Stone rubbed his eyes in disbelief, confirming that what was clinging to the outside of the bun was actually finely chopped scallions...
"Baozi, you even brought your own scallions?" Stone was completely speechless. She had no idea that this curse was elligent.
"Gaga, Master! Baozi was wrong!" At this moment, Baozi seemed like Sun Wukong, who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Despite his great abilities, he was forced to be suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain. It seems that Baozi is even more miserable. At least Sun Wukong had Tang Sanzang to save him, but Baozi could only hope that the stone would take pity on him.
Stone grinned gleefully, "Hehe, serves you right for bullying me every day! This princess will show you who's the master!"
"Gaga, you're the master! You're Baozi's only master!" Baozi pleaded pitifully, "Master! Baozi has remembered something very, very important that I want to tell you!"
Could that dead bun have something important to say?
Stone was quite skeptical, but then he thought, "Big Bun might have a sharp tongue, but it hasn't done anything truly heinous! (What could a little bun like it possibly do?!) Besides, Stone now has quite the air of a master; if all else fails, he can just come back and suppress it again!"
After releasing Baozi, Shi Tou watched as Baozi visibly regained its previous plump and white figure. He sighed inwardly once again, thinking that if Baozi were a human, it would definitely be a spherical body with a height smaller than its waist.
"Giggle, Master! Baozi loves you so much! Pat pat pat~~~" Now that it was free, Baozi dared not upset the stone again. It finally understood that there are some people who, even if they were reincarnated a hundred times and forgot all their past lives, would never change their wicked nature.
Stone glanced at Baozi sideways: "Didn't you say you had something important to tell me? Tell me first, and if I don't think it's that important, you can keep suppressing it!"
Big Bun shivered violently and hurriedly said, "Hehe, Bun just wants to tell Master that Master forgot to extract memories from Bun!"
Retrieve memories?!
Suddenly, a mosquito coil appeared in Stone's eyes: "What is memory extraction? Wait a minute, didn't you say you'd forgotten everything from before? Hmph!" Stone snorted coldly. This damned little dumpling, it seems there are still many things she's hiding from him!
Hearing the stone's cold snort and feeling its almost tangible gaze, Big Bun broke out in a cold sweat: "Hehe, Master, it's not something from before! It's a memory that Bun devoured!"
What?! Stone was horrified again: "You're saying I can actually extract the memories you just absorbed?" No way, does that mean she'll never have to learn to read or memorize again? (Is that all you're capable of...)
The big steamed bun nodded quickly: "Giggle, yes, yes! If Master is willing, he can extract all of the bun's memories! However, he can only extract the memories that the bun has already devoured, not the ones that are still being devoured!"
Stone was taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What about those memories you absorbed in the Academy of Wise Men? It's been over a year. They should all be gone by now, right?"
Baozi bounced around smugly: "Hehe, of course! Even today's memories, Baozi has already absorbed almost all of them!"
"Alright, tell me, how can I extract your memories!" Stone was excited. So the steamed bun wasn't so useless after all! At least it was somewhat useful!
Stone waited expectantly for Baozi's answer, but Baozi suddenly fell completely silent, like an electric toy without batteries. Stone waited and waited, but Baozi remained silent.
"Baozi?" Stone poked Baozi with a finger, feeling a little guilty. "Say something! Why aren't you saying anything?" Instinctively, Stone felt that this was all wrong. Could it be that only Baozi's true owner could extract its memories?
After a long while, Baozi finally spoke weakly: "Gaga, Master, Baozi has forgotten... Baozi has forgotten how Master used to extract Baozi's memories!" After saying that, Baozi didn't dare to look at the stone anymore. With a "whoosh," it turned into a black diamond and lay silently next to the stone's pillow.
Stone stared blankly at the ceiling, suddenly realizing that her tumultuous life was truly like a coffee table, covered with tragedies and disheveled objects...
"You damned steamed bun! I know now, as long as I eat you, I can extract your memories!!!"
Chapter 44: I Am Not Your Master
The big steamed bun shivered, but stubbornly refused to turn back into a steamed bun, acting like a dead pig, or rather, a dead steamed bun that wasn't afraid of boiling water!
"You damn bun!" Stone gritted her teeth, grabbed a pillow, and hurled it at Black Diamond, cursing as she did so: "You utterly useless piece of trash! What good are you to me? All you do is talk, eat, and poop! You good-for-nothing! I'll smash you to death, smash you to death!" After smashing it for a while, Black Diamond remained motionless on the bed, completely unharmed, while Stone was nearly exhausted.
Rolling her eyes, Stone put her pillow down, grabbed the black diamond, and dartd it around in her big eyes a few times. "Hehe, Baozi, if I can't kill you with this, I'll disgust you to death!" Leaning out from under the bed, Stone pulled out a pair of her little shoes and stuffed the black diamond inside. At that moment, she felt incredibly regretful—why didn't she have sweaty feet?
After doing all this, Shi Tou finally felt a little more at ease, but lying in bed, he couldn't fall asleep. He pursed his lips, then decided not to sleep at all. He sat up and leaned against the wall, silently reflecting on the events of the past few years.
She'd been in this other world for three years now. At first, she believed she really was the biological daughter of Steel Hammer Daddy and Fat Mommy, the little princess of the Dwarf Kingdom. Although she was a little bothered by her identity in this life, she accepted it. But later, Elder Red Stone's words shattered her peaceful life.
"The Dwarf Kingdom does not welcome any humans!"
For some reason, this sentence seemed deeply etched into her mind, constantly popping up from time to time. But what puzzled her most was that if she was human, why was she in the land of dwarves? Where were her biological parents now? And why were Steel Hammer Daddy and Fat Mommy so kind to her?
Having transmigrated to another world, although she already possessed the soul of an adult and wasn't particularly concerned about her origins, these questions still troubled her. She was already three years old this year, and it seemed her true identity wouldn't be revealed for much longer. What would she do then?
Besides this worrying matter, the big steamed bun issue is also quite troublesome.
Baozi always called her "master," but she knew perfectly well that she was just an imposter. However, Baozi's various actions suggested that perhaps her true master was indeed related to her. For example, Baozi once said that if it were separated from the stone, it would fall into a deep sleep until the stone reappeared.
After pondering for a while, Stone realized that it was very likely the body she was possessing was a descendant of its original owner. If that were the case, then she wouldn't have completely deceived Baozi. However, then again, why would she bother deceiving Baozi in the first place?
That damn good-for-nothing!
