After failing his tribulation, a broke money tree spirit binds himself to the “Child-Rearing System.”
The System tells him that if he raises the children of “virtuous people across many lifetimes” to adulthood, he can be reborn, come back to life, and ascend to immortality.
Zong Li looks at the pathetic little thing in front of him, filthy from head to toe yet surrounded by golden light, and ponders: “Raising a child... should be easier than cultivating, right?”
【Now updating Volume Five: Interstellar Arc】
This time, he finally lands in the right place. Zong Li opens his eyes and sees his ward... along with a group of homeless little ones.
Zong Li: I'll only pick up one... I'll only pick up two... I'll only pick up three... I'll...
Oh, well. It's not like he can't afford to raise them. He can call it finding playmates for the child. At least the little one will have a home after he's gone.
So Zong Li opens a nursery on a barren planet and takes in every child abandoned by other planets.
You see how well he's raising them and want to steal them?
Get lost!
【Volume Four: Western Fantasy Arc】
This time, Zong Li makes an unusually dramatic entrance. His nearly six-foot-four frame suddenly goes whoosh! and turns into a tiny toddler, and he can't turn back...
The damn System only translates the language of child-sized species. Surrounded by elves who are all six feet tall, chattering away among themselves, he can only play the part of a quiet, well-behaved little mute.
He struggles to learn about elf culture, wanting only to find out who made him this small. How is he supposed to find his target and raise them like this?
He doesn't find the culprit.
He doesn't find his mission target, either.
The Elven Forest is too far from the human kingdom. There's no telling how long it'll take a child like him to get there, so he decides to hitch a ride.
Elias: Thanks, but I don't want you hitching a ride.
Zong Li: Your daughter is so cute~ Give her more fruit; she'll get better faster.
Elias: I'll go wherever my guest wants.
Zong Li: The royal capital.
Elias: I take that back.
He has no choice but to go. His daughter needs more and better medicine to regain her health, and he needs treatment for his old injuries.
Mermaids, human-elf hybrids, humans...
Elias looks at the ever-growing group of little ones around him and falls into deep thought.
Aren't you supposed to raise the children you find? Why am I raising all of them?
Hands-off Zong Li: Hee hee~
【Coming soon: Did the Little One Survive Today?】
Who is the little one?
A child hatched from an egg in another world, with snow-white hair, a pair of fluffy ears, and eyes of two different colors, gold and silver.
Where does the little one come from?
The little one comes from a world that's about to disappear, and will soon disappear along with it.
What can we do to help the little one?
“Please remember me. Don't forget me...”
【Coming soon: A Cat Cub's Day-to-Day Life Working in the Human World】
Cat Jinfu worked diligently in the underworld for twenty years to earn one chance to choose the family he'd be reborn into. He drank Meng Po's Soup and entered his mother's womb, only to find himself back in the underworld the very next moment.
The familiar sight scared Cat Jinfu so much that it snapped him out of the effects of Meng Po's Soup. Before he could forget everything, he hurried to the Hall of the King of Hell and yowled.
The King of Hell didn't know what was going on until he investigated, and then he was shocked.
An outside force had invaded the mortal realm and thrown people's fate-lines into chaos, shifting the destinies of many people, including the parents Cat Jinfu was supposed to be born to. They were meant to live happy lives surrounded by descendants.
With the underworld short-staffed, the King of Hell sends Cat Jinfu to the mortal realm to set right the destinies that the outside force has altered.
His first stop: fixing the fate of his own older brother, who's been forced into the role of a lovesick, unrequited-love cash cow!Theme: Respect the old and cherish the young
