Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 235 - 234: Dare you change your name to Jiang Mianmian?

Chapter 235: Chapter 234: Dare you change your name to Jiang Mianmian?

Fen Tian’s challenge caused Mianmian to blink her big innocent eyes.

Mom said that the so-called debates were more like sophistry.

Mianmian felt the same; this was like when mom took her to the Fox Demon territory in the mountains, ostensibly to drink with the male Fox Demons, but claimed it was to teach her something. They argued as if it was true when dad might get angry, just to avoid conflict.

In fact, mom didn’t actually teach her anything; she and Bai Bai played elsewhere.

So, Mianmian felt that she was quite good at sophistry herself!

The question Fen Tian asked made her think for a while before she decided not to answer directly but to glance at "Su Chaoyang" nearby and said, "Oh, is that so? But listen, listen to what he calls me!"

"Su Chaoyang" rolled his eyes, conceding to provide this off-stage assistance, and said, "Great Auntie, your grandnephew greets you."

"Did you hear what he called me?" Mianmian’s eyes looked especially innocent as she gazed at Fen Tian.

Bald head, bright eyes, and a face still chubby with baby fat; she looked pure and lovely no matter how you saw it.

Fen Tian was stumped once again.

Faced with a similar question, Su Mianmian merely had to reference her own titles to solve it completely.

Hypocritical? Where was the hypocrisy?

To family and strangers alike, upon seeing Su Mianmian, one would either call her Little Auntie or Little Auntie Grandma; strictly speaking, there was also ’Great Auntie Grandma.’

Mianmian indeed knew more than the average child. She had spent a lot of illusory time studying in the dreamlands, so strictly speaking, she really wasn’t an ordinary child.

But she had everyone calling her by her senior familial title, with even Auntie Grandma coming out; could she still be considered not old enough?

This was actually being consistent inside and out.

—Yes, I, Su Mianmian, am not just any ordinary child; I have learned many things, but I am indeed everyone’s Little Auntie Grandma, and I have never denied it!

Fen Tian regretted not having thought to ask Hu Yaoyao to call him Old Daoist just now; otherwise, he would have broken through this predicament as well!

"You haven’t answered Mianmian yet. What did he call me?"

Mianmian pursued the answer, and under the rules of the "debate" which required a response, Fen Tian said, "Great Auntie Grandma."

"Aye!" Mianmian smiled sweetly, "Good grandnephew, you’re so well-behaved."

Fen Tian fell silent again.

Now it was Mianmian’s turn to ask, and she said directly, "Since you already called me Great Auntie Grandma, you must answer the question honestly. Where is your true body right now?"

Fen Tian fell silent for a while, raised his hand to point to the sky, then to the ground, after which he pointed to the east, south, west, and north.

Answering with actions was not against the rules.

Mianmian was dumbfounded, "Your true body is omnipresent? What kind of answer is that?"

Fen Tian looked at Little Bun with her face full of confusion and the corners of his lips curled up.

He had finally regained control of the situation.

"You think your enemy is me, hence you ask where I am. Yet you do not realize that your enemy is not me; your enemy is the heavens, the earth, and all the things of the world."

"They are all obstructing you from saving your parents, your relatives from the Jiang Family. Your father was the one who married into the family, but the name you use in the world is still Su Mianmian. With your intelligence, you should know the meaning of marrying into a family, shouldn’t you? Haven’t you ever wondered why?"

Mianmian fell silent.

Her parents hadn’t kept secrets from her; they had told her everything, and so had the Demons of the mountain.

Her dad was from the Su Family below the mountain, and he and mom liked each other, their wrists tied together by a red string. Then mom went to the Su Family with a betrothal gift, and brought dad back to the Jiang Family.

By all accounts, her surname should have been Jiang, but in the family records, her parents gave her the surname Su.

This question had indeed troubled her before!

Mom merely said, "Whether your surname is Su or Jiang, you’re still our Mianmian, the heir to our Jiang Family, and you are also the Su’s Mianmian."

Since her mom answered like that, Mianmian didn’t feel comfortable asking further, and neither her nephew nor her niece-in-law questioned why she wasn’t surnamed Jiang.

Was this matter so important? So important that the villain had to specifically ask her this question?

"Of course, Mianmian asked before!" Mianmian argued, "Mom said that whether it’s Jiang Mianmian or Su Mianmian, it’s all the same Mianmian! There’s no difference."

Fen Tian laughed, "Then do you dare to bet with me? From now on, use your mom’s surname, calling yourself Jiang Mianmian, and we’ll see if there’s any difference after you change your surname."

Mianmian was conflicted as she said, "I dare to make a bet with you, but my mom also said that once I leave the mountain, I’m Su Mianmian. It’s only on the mountain that I’m Jiang Mianmian!"

Fen Tian smiled slightly, "Is that so? You’re clearly our esteemed granny, but you still can’t make decisions for yourself? If that’s the case, your title as granny is indeed unmerited."

Mianmian felt frustrated.

So, Fen Tian, the bad guy, had been waiting for her here! He was still discussing the issues of "age," "identity," and "experience" with her! He had simply set a trap, making it impossible for her to move forward or backward.

"No wonder mom said that the older the ginger, the spicier. Fen Tian, you must be centuries-old ginger by now—stinky and nasty!"

She huffed angrily.

Fen Tian smiled faintly, "And your answer?"

If Mianmian said she could decide for herself and take the bet, her status as a respected elder would be well-earned, but she would no longer be Mianmian who listens to her mom. From then on, she would have to use her mountain name to tell everyone she was Jiang Mianmian.

Little Bun was caught between a rock and a hard place, unwilling to respond to either question.

After mulling it over, she finally said, "Alright, Mianmian can’t answer you, so I guess you win this time!"

As soon as she admitted the other party had won, she felt a familiar current surge through her again.

Luckily, Mianmian didn’t have any hair to stand on end anymore, given that she was already a little baldy.

"Best two out of three." Mianmian stated plainly. "But you still lost, lol!"

Fen Tian made a motion as if stroking a beard, his aged voice tinged with mirth.

"Victory and defeat are not yet decided. You should know, your enemy is not me."

As his words ended, the final judgment for the round rang out, and Fen Tian’s phantom vanished from the spot. It wasn’t that he had run away, but rather, he used this defeat’s punishment to sever his connection to his true self and abandoned this avatar.

Mianmian was still thinking, once Fen Tian accepted his punishment and the philosophical debate was over, she’d use her Flying Sword to spar with him again, using magic or something.

However, Fen Tian didn’t care about this avatar at all and simply abandoned it outright.

This caused Mianmian, who had already been a little upset about losing once, to stomp her feet in annoyance.

She stamped on the ground several times, her small face full of defiance.

"Su Chaoyang," with his arms folded, spoke in a tone that indicated none of this was his concern: "You little brat, you can’t blame me. I didn’t know it couldn’t be taken back by me."

Yes, this "Su Chaoyang" was actually Green.

As the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron, a Divine Artifact, deciding who to take into his Space was merely a matter of intent. But Green had tried, and it didn’t work on Fen Tian’s avatar.

He did indeed want to help Mianmian once and for all, but clearly, the adversary had some trick up his sleeve and had come well-prepared to face Mianmian.

Luckily, for some reason, he didn’t directly engage in a fight with Mianmian.

Otherwise, the outcome would still be uncertain.

Mianmian stomping her feet was just an expression of her anger.

She wasn’t angry at Green for not being able to help; she was angry at herself.

"It’s not your fault, Mianmian is just too weak."

Mianmian had to admit this fact.

Then her gaze fell on Hu Yaoyao, and she chuckled slyly: "The big Snake that was lured here got away, but you, the Little Snake, can’t!"

Little Bun laughed sweetly and innocently, and with her hairless head, she resembled a pretty acolyte who, under the Bodhisattva’s command, had descended to the mortal realm to save all beings.

But Hu Yaoyao’s fur stood on end!

Danger, danger!!

Su Mianmian was obviously taking out her frustration over not gaining the upper hand with Old Daoist Fen Tian on her and had decided to use her as a scapegoat!

Regret, she felt regret right now. That old rascal Old Daoist Fen Tian had used her up and then ran off, without giving a single thought to her, his cooperative partner’s, safety!

Was it because she hadn’t been of any help during the debate that Old Daoist Fen Tian became petty and got mad?

While Hu Yaoyao was lost in her thoughts, she was not idle; she waggled her tail at Mianmian, employing a skill innate to the Fox Clan.

Her narrow fox eyes blinked softly, trying to make Mianmian feel she was especially adorable.

Mianmian, receiving the fox’s wink, said with an understanding tone, "Wow, the Fox Clan indeed knows how to cast flirtatious glances! But sending them to Mianmian is useless. In Mianmian’s heart, mom is the most beautiful!"
