Chapter 312: Chapter 311: The Three Lives Stone of Intelligent AI

Hearing Cui Yu’s assurance, Mianmian was put at ease until her head was suddenly tousled again.

The hand was so rough that it hurt Mianmian’s unguarded head.

"Ouch." Mianmian turned to look at Zhong Kui, who had his hands behind his back and was gazing into the distance at the Wangchuan River, pretending as if he had done nothing.

"Hmph." Mianmian’s little nose twitched upward, "Uncle Zhong Kui, don’t pretend, you’re the only one standing behind Mianmian. It must have been you who touched Mianmian’s bald head!"

Zhong Kui: "No evidence, child, don’t talk nonsense."

Seeing Zhong Kui refusing to own up, Mianmian lifted her little hand to touch her head again.

Zhong Kui had trained in martial arts for years, his hands were rough and calloused, and the touch just now had been a bit too heavy; it really hurt.

She said angrily, "It was definitely you, you bullied Mianmian."

Cui Yu noticed that Mianmian’s little head was somewhat red and looked at Zhong Kui reproachfully: "You did use too much force."

Zhong Kui, seeing the redness on Mianmian’s head, showed an embarrassed face.

At this moment, the image on the Three-Life Stone quietly changed, coincidentally showing the scene of Zhong Kui secretly touching Mianmian’s head. Lu Zhidao was the first to notice and, astonished, pointed at Zhong Kui with his beard: "Look, look, the Three-Life Stone has revealed the evidence, I think you should stop denying it and just admit your guilt."

Zhong Kui turned his head and, lo and behold, there it was!

The Three-Life Stone looped the scene of him touching Mianmian’s head, first playing it normally, and then, as if noticing that he was watching, it intentionally slowed down the playback.

Ding Song quietly stepped forward, saw the Three-Life Stone showing the scene like a slow-motion movie, frame by frame of Zhong Kui’s hand rubbing Mianmian’s head, and was also amazed!

According to what the several judges had said before, the Three-Life Stone didn’t seem to be a stone at all, but rather, it seemed alive, specially supporting Mianmian!

With irrefutable evidence, Zhong Kui could no longer deny it and stood before Mianmian with his head lowered, apologizing with his pride at stake: "I’m sorry, Uncle Zhong shouldn’t have rubbed your head so hard."

The other two judges, who were not as familiar with Mianmian, exclaimed in astonishment, "You old fellow apologizing is really a first. The Three-Life Stone should record it to continuously play it back to you later, hahaha."

Teased, Zhong Kui stiffened his neck: "Let it play, I’m happy to apologize, so what? If it were you guys, I wouldn’t apologize."

Cui Yu shook his head repeatedly at this remark.

After all these years of working together, Zhong Kui’s character was still the same. It couldn’t be helped; he was someone who, back in the day, furious at being spurned for his ugliness, had died by striking himself against the court.

This apology was genuine affection for the little girl Mianmian; otherwise, he wouldn’t have conceded.

He probably really did regret it.

Cui Yu looked at Mianmian, knowing the apology would only count if she forgave Zhong Kui.

Having heard the apology, Mianmian didn’t immediately say it was alright. Instead, she raised her little hand, acting tough: "Even if you apologize, Mianmian doesn’t want to forgive you yet. Mianmian already felt pain, unless you let Mianmian return it to you!"

The little one stood her ground fiercely, even standing on her tiptoes, all serious.

Zhong Kui had no choice but to squat down, bringing his head closer: "Alright, alright, I’ll give it back to you, your turn, come on."

Mianmian snickered, but instead of using the same method to return the favor, she forcefully plucked at Zhong Kui’s beard.

She actually yanked out a handful, leaving a patch missing in Zhong Kui’s beard.

Zhong Kui gasped in pain; he truly hadn’t expected the little girl to have such strength. He rubbed his beard, grimacing, nearly in tears.

Having vented her frustration, Mianmian finally felt relieved.

"Uncle Zhong Kui, remember it hurts like this, you can’t be that rough next time," Mianmian lectured Zhong Kui in all seriousness, "You can feel pain and so can Mianmian, got it?"

Zhong Kui nodded while covering his chin: "Mhmm."

In his mind, he was already pondering what to do about his missing beard.

Mianmian saw that Zhong Kui’s eyes were a bit red, and a little bit of guilt began to swell in her heart.

Did she use too much force?

So Little Bun reached out her small hand, trying to touch her little backpack, to find something to compensate Zhong Kui. She reached into nothingness before remembering, right now she was in spirit form, and her little backpack hadn’t come with her.

"I’ll bring you some medicinal ointment in a few days," Mianmian had to say, "Uncle Zhong Kui’s hands are too rough, Uncle Cui’s hands wouldn’t scrape Mianmian’s head and hurt it."

Zhong Kui, hearing that Mianmian would still bring him ointment and seeing her reddened head, felt increasingly guilty. But he still pretended to be tough, saying, "Old Cui is a civil servant, he just holds a writing brush, of course his hands aren’t as rough as ours who wield swords and spears. Once you get that ointment done, will my hands get better? Then when I rub your head, you can’t act like this."

Mianmian nodded vigorously: "Of course, it’s a special ointment made by my mom, really effective."

Her words reminded all the judges of Mianmian’s mother. Cui Yu even thought of Sun Wukong; after all, Mianmian’s mother had nearly caused a huge stir in the Underworld, just like Sun Wukong.

Seeing the odd expressions on several uncles’ faces, Mianmian asked, "Why are you making such faces? What’s wrong? Are you worried my mom’s ointment won’t work?"

Lu Zhidao was the first to reply to Little Bun: "No, they were probably thinking of Sun Wukong."

When Mianmian heard the name Sun Wukong, without paying any mind to why her mother’s mention would bring Sun Wukong to Cui Yu’s mind, her large eyes instantly lit up: "Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Qi Tian who made a commotion in the heavenly palace, Sun Wukong!"

Seeing Mianmian’s expression, the judges tensed up.

Zhong Kui was very direct: "What? Does Mianmian really like Sun Wukong?"

Mianmian showed her little white teeth and giggled: "Yes, I really do, it has the longest story, and it’s the most fun."

They had the book "Journey to the West" up on the mountain. Compared to the other four famous classics, Little Bun still preferred "Journey to the West." After all, stories of fairies and demons were more comprehensible to her.

Because she thought of "Journey to the West," Mianmian couldn’t help but say, "It would be great if the Great Sage were here. Just one stand before the Three Lives Stone, and Mianmian could witness a live-action scene of the havoc in the heavenly palace."

No sooner had Mianmian finished speaking than the Three Lives Stone, which originally showed Cui Yu’s past life, suddenly changed, indeed transforming into a seaside scene with the "stubborn stone."

Upon seeing the change in the scene, Mianmian was extremely surprised: "How strange, the Great Sage isn’t here, so why did the scene change by itself?"

The judges also did not anticipate that the Three Lives Stone had this function and were equally astonished.

Ding Song couldn’t help but say, "This Three Lives Stone, how does it resemble an intelligent AI, being capable of playing scenes automatically based on voice commands?"

He thought that although fairies had magic, their lives were not as convenient as those of mortals; otherwise, they wouldn’t need his help to modernize the new Underworld.

The judges all looked at Ding Song: "What’s an intelligent AI?"

So Ding Song explained, then added, "But according to what several honorable judges have said, this Three Lives Stone seems to be an AI that recognizes its master. The kind I’m talking about can be placed at home, and the whole family can command it together."

The judges pondered this idea, while not far away at the lower part of the Judgment Hall, a piece of a robe was revealed.

This person was King Qin Guang, who, having heard from the Yin Soldiers that the judges were all accompanying a little child, came to see what was happening.

He had just arrived when he overheard the conversation about someone else becoming the master of the Three Lives Stone.

The Three Lives Stone in the Underworld, having taken another as its master—to speak of such a thing would be a laughingstock to all ten Kings of Hell.

He immediately put on a stern face, walked out, and coughed loudly, signaling to those around the Three Lives Stone to notice him.
