Chapter 213 Mission 1: The World Sealed by the Goddess 1

Wen Wan felt dazed for a moment, and before she could come to her senses, she heard a woman's inner voice: "Stop loving him, and protect my family so they can live safely and with dignity."

Xiao Hua explained, "Master, if we leave without accepting the mission, we will be hunted down by the people of the Fast Travel Hall. You have unleashed the system without permission. This has never happened before in the history of the Fast Travel Hall."

Wen Wan asked, "What mission did you grab?"

"Ranked first on the mission announcement list, with the highest points reward."

"The mission has high points, is difficult, and has the highest failure rate. It's very likely that several previous quick travellers have already completed this mission."

Xiaohua is the incarnation of her spirit. She has always believed that she is a spirit born from a supercomputer, and that her master has been helping her advance. Of course, this is just the setting Wen Wan gave her. In reality, it is her spiritual will that controls Xiaohua. She knows everything about Xiaohua, but if she doesn't want Xiaohua to know, Xiaohua will not know.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm not a qualified quick-travel artifact."

"Xiaohua, you kicked out the previous system, that's amazing. From now on, we'll team up to do the missions quickly. Come on, Xiaohua! Come on, Wenwan!"

Xiao Hua immediately became more energetic. "Master, our points have arrived. Wow, there are so many! Let me see. On the 17th interstellar space, civilization successfully advanced + points, hidden mission to eliminate the dark fast traveler +, borrowing the body of interstellar resident Nie Wan - 1000 points, deserved points. Our points balance:."

Wen Wan was in a good mood. "Xiao Hua, set aside some points for your personal account. You can use them to buy skins and elf bodies in the system trading mall. With these, when you can enter a world, you can go out and explore."

"Thank you, Master. You are the most generous, beautiful, and lovely Master. Xiaohua loves you the most."

"Well, we have to work hard to find a way back home. It's really not easy for the two of us, stranded in a foreign world together. You can't see the father who created you, but I can see my family..."

The memory she gave Xiaohua was that Xiaohua was a computer created by Wenwan's teacher in her original world, who gave it to her. Later, Wenwan died and traveled through time with the supercomputer.

Xiao Hua shouted, "Among the countless worlds, there is always one that is our home planet. Master, come on, we will definitely be able to return home. I want to save my father, and you can save your family and friends. Let's work together!"

"You transferred points to the binding system, and your personal account still has points left."

Wen Wan said: "Send the original owner's memories to me."

Xiao Hua responded: "Memory transfer begins!"

The original owner, Ling Wan, was the eldest legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Duke of Pingguo during the Great Zhou Dynasty. Duke Pingguo Ling Zhenye had one wife and four concubines, and fathered six sons and seven daughters. Ling Wan's father, Ling Chengjia, was the nominal eldest legitimate son, having been preceded by his eldest brother, Ling Chengzu, a illegitimate son, and later by Ling Chengsi, the third son, born to his wife, Cui. Ling Chengjia's biological mother, a daughter of a well-off family, the younger sister of a scholar, died after giving birth to Ling Chengjia. By then, Cui had already given birth to three legitimate daughters. Because her eldest aunt had given birth to a illegitimate son, also born to a noble concubine, she placed the orphaned Ling Chengjia under her name, making her the nominal eldest legitimate son.

Before Ling Chengjia was three years old, Cui Shi truly loved him. But when he was three, Cui Shi gave birth to her long-awaited son, Cui Chengsi. This was her biological son, so naturally, she poured her whole heart into him. Ling Chengjia was not loved by his father, and his stepmother disliked him, so he was looked down upon and ignored.

The one Ling Zhenye loved the most and had high hopes for was his eldest son Ling Chengzu, followed by his legitimate son Ling Chengsi. One inherited the ancestors' expectations, and the other inherited the family lineage, which can be seen from their names. The name Ling Cheng's family only had the word "Jia" in it, and it was originally named after Cui because she had no sons, which shows how close they were.

When he reached marriageable age, everyone knew he was a bastard son, registered under his mother's name, and disliked by his parents. The beloved daughter of an official refused to marry into the Ling Cheng family, while the concubine's daughter, Cui Shi, looked down on as her son, was still registered under her name. Neither high nor low was the ideal, and it wasn't until he was twenty-one that Cui Shi arranged for him to marry Bai Shi, the legitimate daughter of Luocheng's richest man.

What Cui was after was the Bai family, which had five sons and one daughter. Bai was Mrs. Bai's daughter who was born in her old age. She was pampered like a jewel and knew nothing about the world. It would be easy to control her if she was married, and she could get a large and generous dowry.

The Duke Ping's Mansion seemed prosperous on the surface, but in fact, after the Cui family took over, life became worse and worse.

After Bai married, the maids and servants she brought with her included those who were proficient in accounting and finance. Cui had suggested this several times, both openly and covertly, but Bai had feigned ignorance and refused to touch her dowry. Cui had previously learned that Bai was unaware of the ways of the world, but she was actually quite shrewd, as slippery as a loach.

Cui wanted Bai to manage the household, but Bai said, "Mother-in-law, we already had the eldest sister-in-law before. Even if she was in charge of the household, it should be the eldest sister-in-law who managed the household. It is not my turn to be the head of the household this time."

After Ling Chengsi married, Cui knew the entire mansion was a huge money pit. She was reluctant to let her own son and daughter-in-law use her dowry to fill it, and she was also reluctant to hand over the management of the household to Ling Chengzong's wife. She wanted Bai to be the head of the household, but Bai said, "With my eldest sister-in-law in front and the Crown Prince's wife behind, you think I, who am inferior to others, can manage the household. You should just follow the rules."

The rule is that whoever is the Crown Prince's wife will be the head of the family.

Cui couldn't control Bai, so she had to let the prince's wife Xie take charge of the family.

Although Xie was a noble lady, her dowry was less than half of Bai's. Just as she was in charge of the household, Ling Chengjia passed the imperial examination and became the 27th Jinshi. Bai was willing to spend money and used her own money to smooth things over and secure a sixth-rank position as the Tongzhi of Ningzhou for Ling Chengjia. He then went to the post with his family of five in great splendor.

Although Ling Chengjia was a bastard and had been looked down upon before marrying, he deeply respected his wife. Apart from two concubines brought in by the Cui family, there were no other people in the backyard. Before taking office, he betrothed these two concubines with generous dowries to good families and made them good citizens. After the family of five arrived in Ningzhou, Bai gave birth to a little daughter. Ling Chengjia now had two sons and two daughters, all of whom were born to Bai.

Ling Wan also spent her carefree youth and girlhood in Ningzhou. With two ambitious and hardworking brothers in front of her and a sister two years younger than her, the family of six lived as comfortably as they could.

However, all the changes began when Ling Wan and her sister Ling E accompanied their mother to burn incense. She met a student from Jiangnan Academy, a young man who used the pseudonym Huang Sanlang, but was actually the third prince of the dynasty. She fell in love with the third prince at first sight and secretly fell in love with him.

The third prince was born to the queen, but the queen never won the emperor's favor throughout his life. The emperor loved the imperial concubine and her son the most, forcing the third prince to have almost no place to stand in the capital and the court.

At that time, Ling Wan looked very similar to her grandmother. Mrs. Bai Shi from Luocheng was once one of the two most famous beauties in the capital. However, because she was born out of wedlock, she married into the Bai family, the richest family in Luocheng. The other one, who was both talented and beautiful, was the empress dowager of the time.
