Bengtie: Is your pure and beautiful destiny serious?

That night, Cheng An was warmly received by Grey and Nick's family. It felt so reassuring to know that everyone was a nice person.

It was also on this night that she and Danheng met the little girl that Potio picked up.

Cheng An lay beside the cradle with great curiosity, looking at the baby wrapped in a small quilt.

This was a very novel experience for her and Dan Heng. Cheng An was the only child in her family. She had paid little attention to her relatives' children since they were young because she didn't know how to coax children. She was afraid that the human cub would be unhappy and cry because of her. That would be as terrible as the sky falling.

Not to mention Dan Heng, who had been in the Youprison for so long and was thrown into another prison just after he got out. He had no chance to see such a young child.

One of them was on the left side of the cradle, and the other on the right side, just watching the little child flapping around.

The little baby might also be able to feel the pure and beautiful power of Cheng An, so he kept reaching out his hands towards her, as if he wanted to play with her.

But she didn't dare to reach out to respond. They came from far away and didn't know if they could touch such a young child. She seemed to have heard that such a young baby's resistance was not that strong.

The child looked less than a year old, maybe seven months? She could only make some babbling sounds. Her speech was not clear, but she was obviously talkative because she was babbling all the time.

"Well, Teacher Danheng, you have read so many books, do you know what it means when a child keeps babbling here?" She raised her head and looked at Danheng opposite her in a daze.

Teacher Danheng, who was even more confused than her, shook his head.

Seeing the two people doing stupid things beside the cradle like two idiots, Potio was speechless. It seemed that his worries were really unnecessary. How could such people be criminals? The standard of being a criminal was too low.

The two of them didn't even dare to say a word to the children! It was obvious that they liked them very much and just wanted to play with them.

The cowboy sighed and thought, forget it, as long as there is no threat.

"Okay, okay, if you don't know how to take care of a child, don't embarrass yourself here. How about we just live in these two rooms?" he said.

"Oh, sure, it's all right." Cheng An didn't even need to look. She wasn't worried about her accommodation at all. After all, a good place to live is one with a roof to shelter from the wind and rain. She had no problem living in a tent in the desert.

"You're not worried at all." Portio laughed.

"worry about what?"

"Are you worried that I'll attack you first?"

"Why worry about that? Nothing's going to happen to me."

"...You little girl, your words are really irritating."

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it good enough to trust you? I am not afraid of anyone attacking me, just because I am upright." Cheng An looked at the man with a slightly provocative look. Why is he as suspicious as Latio? He is also an academic? Is her trust so worthless?

The main thing is that she knows them all. How could she not know who they are? She knows the stories of the past and the future, so there is really nothing to doubt.

"What on earth are you trusting? We just met today. Do you know my name?"

"I——" Of course I know, no, damn, I really don't know!

Her eyes suddenly opened wide.

Yes, Poteo is not his current name.

"Uh... what's your name, big brother?" She asked awkwardly, completely losing her previous confidence.

"How dare you ask? Considering that you are an outsider, I would like to kindly remind you that people in our tribe will not easily tell others their real names."

"If you ask someone directly like that, you might get beaten up." There was no joking in his tone, it was actually the truth.

"Ah? Then how do you call each other?" Cheng An really didn't know this.

The handsome cowboy raised a confident smile, "Of course it's a title or alias, either given by colleagues or enemies, or by yourself."

"You can call me Lloyd, which means a loaded gun."

This is truly a moment worth remembering.

Cheng An quietly repeated this title in his mind, which he had never heard of in the game. Yes, it was a title, not his real name.

Perhaps only his closest family members know his real name?

However, I have heard that a cowboy may have countless titles and names in his life, and perhaps this can be considered a tradition.

If she continued to ask, it would seem that she was a little ungrateful, so she stopped there and nodded to show that she understood.

"So that's how it is. Lloydide is a good name." Dan Heng also expressed his attitude when he heard this.

They had no intention of prying into anyone's secrets.

His only thought on this trip was to follow Cheng An and see what the outside world looked like. Now that Cheng An was willing to entrust him with such trust, he naturally had no objection.

What's more, since this family was willing to take them in, it proved that her judgment was as correct as ever.

The cowboy was very proud of Dan Heng's compliment. His slightly hoarse laughter showed the calmness nurtured by the wind and sand and grassland: "Of course, this is also based on my real name. Maybe when we get to know each other well enough, you will know my real name."

The two groups of people who had been confronting each other for almost the entire day finally showed signs of easing up. Cheng An patted Dan Heng's shoulder and smiled with relief.

Teacher Danheng is so reliable. People who are simple, sincere and not abstract have high credibility in what they say, and they are naturally good at easing the atmosphere.

------------

Time comes to night.

Cheng An lay in the unfamiliar bed, not feeling sleepy at all.

Because it was late at night and there was no one around her, the music box began its performance again.

It has hardly stopped talking since Cheng An pulled out the spring, but because Dan Heng has always been by her side, the music box didn't dare to be angry openly in public, and just made a few sarcastic remarks in her mind.

"Do you know what you have done? You activated the space-time energy without authorization. How much of your own energy do you have to dare to use it like this?" Taking into account that there were people sleeping in the nearby rooms, the music box spoke to her in her mind.

"You even brought people who were not destined to be pure and beautiful across time and space!"

Cheng An didn't like listening to the box in the first place, and now that it was blaming her, she hated it even more, "Why not? Didn't I rescue Dan Heng? You also said that I can handle this incident 100%. Shouldn't the space-time energy be accumulated in the first place?"

"Then what does it matter if I start it directly?"

"Besides, taking Teacher Dan Heng with me is also part of practicing purity and beauty. While I am practicing purity and beauty to accumulate space-time energy, I am also taking one more person with me to consume space-time energy. There is no loss at all when rounded off!"

She retorted confidently.

"Unless your space-time energy is not pure and beautiful at all, you would not say that I have saved too little after I have achieved a rare and truly good ending." Cheng An turned the tables.

"How, how could it not be! Haven't you ever thought about spending more than you earn?" The music box was suppressed by someone who was even more arrogant than it, and its momentum weakened.

"Who cares? I'm the one who saved the money, right? I used more this time, so I'll make up for it myself later, right? I didn't just throw you away and default on your debt, so why are you so anxious?"

She is used to doing her own thing and hates being told what to do the most. She has her own choices in her mind, so she particularly hates this music box that has been trying to control her behavior.

"You'd better not be so annoying. Even if you blame me, will I change?"

"Even if I could do it all over again, would I still leave Teacher Dan Heng alone in the deep water of Luofu knowing his situation?"

"Don't you really know that every choice I made was made out of my heart's desire for everyone to have a better ending?"

Cheng An asked three questions in a row, each word was insightful.

She never cared about her fate, power or exploitation.

Coming to this world was originally against her will, but now she was forced to accept it and began to find joy in suffering, thinking that her hope of going back was slim, so since she was already here, she might as well make up for her original regrets and not have suffered in vain.

On this basis, she has never even broken her deal with the music box: she tries her best to fulfill her mission of pure beauty, which gives her strength and a possibility of returning home, which is this random journey.

Cheng An does not believe in any star gods, but she thinks that all her heartfelt decisions on this journey to another world have lived up to the word "pure beauty".

"Do you really want me to complete the mission to protect purity and beauty, or to be your puppet?" She finally opened her eyes, stared at the dark night, and asked her final question softly.
