Four-year-old Zhang Zili, nicknamed Lili, transmigrates into the parallel-world setting of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles and immediately demands to find her dad.
When Hei Xiazi finds this little tyke on Changbai Mountain, claiming to be “Zhang Qiling’s daughter,” he thinks he’s run into a professional scammer. Only after she accurately lists every detail about Zhang Qiling, including the mole on his butt, does Hei Xiazi believe her halfway.
“Dad,” Zhang Zili says, hugging Zhang Qiling’s leg and looking up at him. “When you walk alone, even your shadow gets lonely.”
From then on, the greatest expert in the tomb-robbing world has a little tagalong.
Wu Sansheng sends an invitation? Lili “accidentally” spills the tea. The Nine Gates try to sound her out? She launches into a Lin Daiyu-style taunt: “All you grandpas have such fake smiles. Even the plastic flowers at my house look more genuine.” The System issues a mission: split up the Iron Triangle and stop Dad from being used again.
In the Seven-Star Lu Palace, she sticks to Zhang Qiling the whole time and keeps Wu Xie at a distance. “Brother Wu asks so many questions. Are you thinking of becoming a storyteller?” In the Angry Sea Submerged Sand, she gets to the key item first, then sneers at Wu Xie: “Brother, have you been underwater so long that your brain’s filled with water too?”
From the Cloud-top Palace to the Snake Marsh Ghost City, Lili uses high-tech spatial gadgets and spoiler-filled barbs to gradually expose the Nine Gates’ century-old schemes. When the ultimate truth is revealed, she stands before everyone and passes judgment in her four-year-old voice: “Using people and then throwing them away isn’t something decent people do.”
Zhang Qiling silently steps behind her.
Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen each declare their support. The Iron Triangle exists in name only, and a new family is built upon the ruins.
At last, beneath the setting sun, Lili takes Zhang Qiling’s hand. “Dad, where are we going to scam people next?”
The book is very good; the language is warm and comforting, like watching an ice cube melt slowly from the freezer into room temperature water. So far, the characters are well-developed and there's no out-of-character (OOC) behavior. I hope the author continues to update diligently.
The gradual, warm aroma of fireworks soothed the mute man's fatigue and chill.
It's so good, I love it... The writing is very delicate, each chapter feels like reading a collection of Zhu Ziqing's essays.
The kid is real; he has a system, but the system only provides occasional assistance. Before they were recognized as family, Brother Zhang was truly cold and heartless. I want to see how Brother Zhang raises this kid.
It's really beautiful, very beautiful, and the writing is very emotional.
It's nice that Zhang Qiling has someone to keep him company now.
