"Yes, that’s exactly what you’re thinking."
"..." Little Cutie meant that the original body didn’t die, but went to the modern world, taking over her body.
Xiaoxiao squatted down, lifted Little Cutie by the hand forcefully, and said in a threatening tone, "Why did this happen? Tell me, was it your doing?"
Little Cutie’s eyes flickered, and he quickly explained, "It has nothing to do with me. If you hadn’t broken the Bracelet, there never would’ve been a soul swap."
He certainly wouldn’t admit that it was his mistake; for this blunder, he had already paid a painful price, being punished to stay inside the Bracelet.
"..." Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words; indeed, it was she who had broken the Bracelet. But who could have imagined that breaking a Bracelet could lead to such a situation?
She should have never agreed to Xiaoyao to buy that broken Bracelet; just thinking about her family in the modern world made her incredibly sad. She really missed them; would the original owner treat them poorly? Could the original owner cause trouble for them in the modern world?
Tears began to well up in her eyes as she anxiously asked Little Cutie, still holding him, "Little Cutie, can you show me my family in the modern world, like when you projected the images before?"
She wanted to know how they were doing now.
"Put me down right away," Little Cutie struggled.
Xiaoxiao then carefully held Little Cutie in the palm of her hand, her face full of anticipation as she said, "Is this okay, then? Please let me see them."
"Sorry, you can’t see them; the Bracelet from the modern world is broken, and without it, it is impossible to see images or know what’s happening there," he replied.
Xiaoxiao felt an urge to strangle the annoying deity; so cute in appearance, yet so infuriating.
Xiaoxiao exploded in frustration, roaring, "Aren’t you a Fairy? Can’t you even handle this simple task?"
"..." Little Cutie felt helpless; there was nothing he could do. He was just a minor Fairy, and one being punished at that. Now, he only had one skill: to return souls to their rightful place. That’s why he was waiting here.
Xiaoxiao continued to scold him, "It’s all your fault, swapping our souls. Even that aside, you didn’t give me a Golden Finger, and not only do you not grant me a Golden Finger, I can’t even see my original family. Tell me, what can you actually do?"
"I’m sorry, I really don’t have a Golden Finger," he answered.
"Then tell me, what do you have?"
Xiaoxiao was so irritated. How could she have encountered such a weak Fairy? She was determined to find out what, if anything, he could actually do.
"..." Why was she so hot-tempered? Did she look down on him? He was still a Fairy after all, "I can return your souls to their rightful places."
He thought that must be what she most desired.
However, as soon as he spoke, Xiaoxiao was stunned. Return her soul to its rightful place? Did that mean she could go back to the modern world?
Her heart suddenly trembled. If she went back, wouldn’t it mean she’d never see her endearing husband again? The thought of never seeing him again made her heart ache, but the thought of not seeing her family hurt just as much.
She squatted there, caught in a dilemma, unsure what to do. Should she choose her husband or her family?
Suddenly, it felt like she was the protagonist of that clichéd scenario where someone’s mother and spouse are both drowning, and she has to decide whom to save.
She truly loved her affordable husband; as someone who had been single for thirty years, she had finally found true love. But her love for her family was just as strong.
Large tear drops fell on Little Cutie, creating a pitter-patter sound. He put his hands up to shield himself, wondering if this was her crying out of excitement because she knew she would return to the modern world.
All of a sudden, with a rush of sound, the sobbing Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, only to hear Little Cutie say, "She’s here."
