Chapter 1007: Chapter 60 Dance (Extra for Alliance Leader Mo Mo Wu Wen!)

“Dammit!”

Big Face Cat bared his teeth and, with a swing of his paw, aimed for Lin Xian’s head:

“Do not be rude to the Chief!”

He was truly fed up with this little brother…

Is his EQ in the negatives?

Or does he naively believe his skull is tough enough to withstand the Chief’s fists?

Who just assumes they’re someone else’s father?

Look at your age, will you?

Chief Yan is several years older than you, Where do you get the face to naturally assume you are someone’s father?

Thud.

A muffled sound.

Big Face Cat’s fat hand was intercepted midway.

Looking up, it was the Chief who had stopped his slap with her hand. Big Face Cat only felt a rebound, as if striking a steel plate, his palm aching and starting to swell.

“Let him continue, Big Face Cat.”

The blue-eyed Chief instructed without looking aside, her azure gaze still fixed on Lin Xian:

“So you mean… you’re also not sure if you’re really my daughter or not.”

Her mind was sharp, her thinking quick.

She immediately caught the uncertainty in Lin Xian’s words and analyzed:

“You know the origin of this photo and who the little girl in the picture is but, in your eyes, I may not be the same person as the girl in the photo.”

“I’ve got your point… The girl in the photo is indeed Yan Qiaoqiao, but I may not be the real Yan Qiaoqiao, perhaps a cuckoo in the nest.”

The doubts Lin Xian mentioned were what she had pondered over many years.

Countless nights.

She had stared at this family photo, thinking…

Is this little girl really me?

Not resembling even the slightest, from face shape to body, to facial features, they were completely two different people.

If it wasn’t for her having awoken from the Hibernation Pod labeled Yan Qiaoqiao and having this photo in her locker… she wouldn’t believe she was Yan Qiaoqiao either.

“No!”

Big Face Cat’s CPU was about to overheat, unable to cope, he looked back and forth between Lin Xian and the Chief:

“The ages between the two of you don’t match up! Is there any need for further analysis?”

“It’s not just your ages that don’t match up… Little brother, look at this photo, do the ages of you and this little girl make a normal father-daughter relationship?”

“Even I, with my straightforward mind, can get this straight. You both are intelligent people, how can you not understand?”

However…

The blue-eyed woman, the Chief, shook her head:

“Big Face, you’re thinking too narrowly. With the miraculous device like the Hibernation Pod… age is no longer the standard to judge familial relations. As long as the parents have spent more time in the Hibernation Pods than the child, it’s not impossible for the child to be older than the parents.”

“The issue now is not the age gap between us two, but that… the little girl’s appearance in the photo is completely unlike mine, thus it’s impossible to be sure whether I am the same person as the little girl in the photo.”

She turned her head to look at Lin Xian:

“How should I address you?”

“Just call me Lin Xian.”

Lin Xian smiled:

“I didn’t come to force recognizing my kin. This matter is hard to accept, and with the current level of technology, DNA testing is not possible. Naturally… there is no evidence to prove what I say.”

“What I’m more curious about is whether you are satisfied with your current life, are you happy?”

The blue-eyed Chief nodded:

“Since awakening from the Hibernation Pod, my life has been very fulfilling and happy.”

“The former Chief Chen taught me a lot of knowledge, allowing me to integrate into the village, into this era. Despite my numerous abnormal traits, these abilities are rare treasures in this era, which is why I have been accepted by everyone and became the Chief of Lian Village.”

“Over the years, I’ve done my utmost to fulfil my duties as a Chief, to solve the villagers’ problems, to protect the village, to lead the development of industry, to build new houses and so on… I believe this is the meaning of my life, my life’s value.”

“So… To put it simply, today it’s only because you resemble the man in the photo that I became curious. What really matters to the current me is that the past memories are no longer important, just like many people in the village, like Smith, who don’t have too many memories about the past, but this doesn’t prevent them from being happy.”

“Likewise, I’m satisfied with my current state. Since you said there’s no way to verify whether I’m the little girl in the photo, whether I’m the real Yan Qiaoqiao. But… What impact does that have?”

The blue-eyed Chief smiled with relief and turned her head to look at the houses brightly lit around her, her expression full of contentment:

“Yan Qiaoqiao is just a name, whether I am the little girl in the photo or not doesn’t affect what I’ve been doing these years, nor does it stop me from being the Chief of Lian Village, from achieving my life’s value, from protecting my people.”

Seeing the blue-eyed Chief so at peace,

Lin Xian also felt it wasn’t a bad thing.

In the world of The Seventh Dreamland, many people live a new life, partially or completely detached from their past memories.

Like the foreigner Smith, who has become a master of various Chinese dialects.

And like the blue-eyed Chief, if her past memories are filled with hatred and slaughter, she might as well be better off now, serving the village and the people, being responsible and accountable.

If the blue-eyed Chief insists on knowing the past, wanting to know the truth, Lin Xian certainly doesn’t mind telling her.

After all, this is The Seventh Dreamland, a realm of daily cycles, no irreparable malignant events could occur.
