The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands

After seeing the baby's gender in his arms, the old priest's body trembled uncontrollably.

The High Priests of Han Country through the generations were all male infants. When they were nearing death, they would use the guidance of the Moonlight Flower Tree to discern the location of Han Country's next High Priest.

By the time the old High Priest raised the next High Priest to adulthood, it would also be time for the old High Priest to peacefully pass away.

Although each generation of High Priests could not marry for life, they were bestowed with a status more noble than the King's, and a life of splendor and riches.

For this, no High Priest had any complaints. After all, what they received far exceeded what they sacrificed.

However, every High Priest learned from the texts left behind in the Sacrificial Hall that if the infant destined by the Moonlight Flower Tree was a girl, her fate would be vastly different from the male High Priests.

Although a female High Priestess would possess even greater wisdom than her male counterparts, capable of bringing immense blessings to Han Country, the fate of a female High Priestess could never be described as "peacefully passing away."

Moreover, the lifespan of each female infant nurtured by the Moonlight Flower Tree rarely exceeded thirty years.

Han Country was now in the midst of a drought unlike any seen in a century. Incredibly, the next High Priest destined by the Moonlight Flower Tree was a girl, personally nurtured by the Tree itself.

According to the records in the Sacrificial Hall, the fate of each female High Priestess nurtured by the Moonlight Flower Tree was to gradually offer her own body as a sacrifice.

So the infant girl in his arms would eventually suffer such a tragic fate!

The old priest held the baby girl, his eyes filled with pain. When she grew up, her only fate would be to sacrifice her life for all of Han Country.

The old King, seeing the pain in the High Priest's eyes, could only stand by in silence.

In Han Country, the status of the High Priest surpassed even that of the King.

And above both the High Priest and King, the Moonlight Flower Tree reigned supreme as their true sovereign.

Since this infant girl was the successor nurtured by the Moonlight Flower Tree itself, what could they do to change her fate?

After all, their lives, and the end of the century-long drought plaguing Han Country, were only salvaged by this girl's birth.

At that moment, within the Sacrificial Hall of Han Country, Lin Zaozao opened her eyes, gazing up at the white canopy above her bed.

Countless curses raced through her mind, desperate to be unleashed.

Damn it, how many wrongful deeds had she committed to deserve such an unjust and useless system as her fate?

That wretched system informed her that her current identity was the sacred Moonlight Flower Tree of Han Country - the next High Priestess birthed by the tree once every thousand years.

After becoming the High Priestess, she would possess celestial talents, ambitions as vast as the rivers and mountains, mastery of astronomy and geography, knowledge spanning past and present. She would become a transcendent being dedicated to the salvation of all.

In summary, the pathetic waste of a person that was the good-for-nothing Lin Zaozao would transform into a revered High Priestess commanding universal respect.

As the so-called High Priestess, she would wield powers to summon wind and rain, divine the future, cure illnesses, decree life and death, and perform countless other extraordinary feats.

At first, when she heard this, Lin Zaozao's heart swelled with joy.

Finally, she, the ultimate underachiever, would become a person of value.

For someone who had spent over a decade as an ordinary nobody, this was indeed an enticing prospect.

But her elation barely lasted a few seconds before that wretched system dropped another bombshell - as the High Priestess, she would be forbidden from marrying for life!

A husband! Her destined life partner!

If she could never experience this in her lifetime, then she might as well live as a nun.

Well, that was still bearable. After all, she was currently just a helpless infant reliant on others.

She hadn't even grown a full head of hair yet! Marriage was light years away from her reality.

As for this so-called husband, that person remained a faint, distant possibility.

Moreover, in her current infantile body, even if a husband fell into her lap, she would be utterly incapable.

These tiny arms and legs... best not to dwell on that...

What truly infuriated Lin Zaozao was the system's declaration that as the High Priestess, she would have to use those transcendent abilities to save all living beings.

To obtain such supernatural powers, she would have to sacrifice parts of her own body.

If she refused to exchange her flesh for the ability to command wind and rain to save others, the system would severely punish her.

And the system's punishments ranged from minor illnesses to outright death.

Before the system departed, Lin Zaozao had asked what parts of her body would need to be sacrificed.

The system responded: minor sacrifices like blood, hair and skin; major sacrifices like limbs, organs and even her life.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zaozao felt like biting her tongue off to commit suicide right then and there. Damn it, this wasn't sacrifice - this was vivisection!

Unfortunately, as a newborn without teeth, she had no way to bite her tongue and end her life.

Since she couldn't commit suicide by biting her tongue, hanging, or smashing her head, Lin Zaozao made a decision.

From that moment on, she would go on a hunger strike to protest the system granting her these so-called abilities to save all living beings.

Damn it, she wasn't some true immortal with a sense of responsibility to save the world.

For the system to demand sacrificing her own body to gain unnatural abilities just to save others...

Damn it, the system must be dreaming!

Lin Zaozao may have been an unaccomplished slacker, but she was no complete idiot!

Embracing the principle of 'the sooner you die, the sooner you're reborn', ever since the old High Priest brought her back to the Sacrificial Hall, no matter how hungry she felt, Lin Zaozao refused to open her mouth for milk.

Even when others tried to force-feed her, she would find a way to vomit out the milk.

It had been two days since the old High Priest brought her back...

As an infant, she knew clearly that if she persisted for just one or two more days, she would starve herself to death.

Death is good! Death is wonderful! She's dead now, crying!

Now that she's dead, she can return to her own home. From an adult, she has now become a helpless little brat.

It's as if she had longed to grow up, but after a simple nap, she has become a little brat again.

Becoming a brat is one thing, but she also has an useless system attached to her body.

Who can understand that feeling?

Just when Lin Zaozao's consciousness was about to fade from hunger, the celestial-like old priest named Ming Yue came with a bowl again.

Ming Yue looked at the drowsy infant girl, his eyes full of pity.

He was a priest, and since he personally received this infant girl from the Moonlight Flower Tree, he knew that her eventual fate would be extremely tragic.

He looked at the bowl filled with milk in his hands, then down at the infant girl who was too weak from hunger to even cry.

Rather than letting her die in such a tragic way in the future, it would be better for her to starve to death now!

That way, she would be spared from those tragic experiences after growing up.

Since he had made up his mind, he should follow the infant girl's will and let her leave this world peacefully now! fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

With this thought, the old priest Ming Yue put down the bowl of milk and silently left.

And Lin Zaozao fell into a slumber from hunger.

After Lin Zaozao fell asleep, a human-shaped figure condensed from black mist silently appeared beside her infant bed.

He first looked at the sleeping Lin Zaozao, then turned to the milk on the table. He reached out his hand, wanting to pick up the milk from the table.

But his body was ethereal, unable to touch the milk on the table.

Seeing Lin Zaozao on the verge of starvation, the black shadow reached out and touched her face.

Just like before, his hand could not touch Lin Zaozao's face.

"Zaozao, wake up! Zaozao..."

The black shadow stood beside Lin Zaozao's infant bed, anxiously calling out.

This little girl Zaozao, just like her previous life, sought death as soon as she realized her abilities after coming into this world.

But what did he do back then?

That damned sacrificial ritual had sealed half of his memories, leaving his memories of his previous life fragmented. Now in this urgent situation, he couldn't remember.

He needed to find his previous self quickly...

Only his previous self could better protect his Zaozao.

As the black shadow anxiously watched the sleeping Lin Zaozao, the slumbering Lin Zaozao was suddenly awoken by her cursed system.

[Host, you have been starving for over two days, bringing your life to the brink of death.

Hunger can harm the body, and it is a form of sacrifice. Now the system will reward you by allowing your infant body to speak. Host, please accept this reward.]

[No need, I don't want it. Keep your so-called reward for someone else! Once I die and return home, I won't need your crappy reward.

You want to dissect me? Dissect your uncle! Damn system, human trafficker, useless piece of crap.

I hope you choke on water, die from diarrhea, trip and die while walking, and even fart yourself to death while sleeping.]

[Host, how dare you defy the system's will, ignore the system's reward, and insult the system repeatedly.

Now, the system will impose some minor punishments on you, to teach you a lesson, you fool.]

Just as Lin Zaozao expected the dead system to physically harm her, the milk in the bowl left on the table by the priest suddenly floated up and poured straight into her belly.

The small bowl seemed to have an endless supply of milk, madly gushing into Lin Zaozao's mouth.

Even if Lin Zaozao wanted to close her mouth and refuse, her body seemed out of her control, forced to accept the dog system's milk.

After the milk was poured in and Lin Zaozao vomited it out from her bloated stomach, the dog system immediately forced more milk down her throat.

So in the time that followed, whenever Lin Zaozao dared to vomit the milk she drank, the dog system would immediately pour the bowl of milk into her.

The system's incessant torment made Lin Zaozao, with an adult mind in an infant's body, no longer dare to defy the system.
