Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 140 A Girl's Eightfold Transformation as She Grows Up

I never expected that I was still alive. This is such a happy thing! But even though I'm not dead, what about Dafu?

Why isn't Dafu with me? So I hurriedly asked, "Where did Dafu, the DVD-buying princess, go?"

"A female fly?" the DVD seller asked.

"Yes, yes," I said hastily.

"The mother fly said she was afraid you'd be hungry when you woke up, so she went to find you some food and told me to keep a close eye on you," the DVD seller explained.

After hearing what the girl selling CDs said, I suddenly felt like laughing and crying at the same time. How big is Dafu's heart? He just handed me over to a stranger, someone whose friend or foe he didn't even know, and he wasn't afraid that something might happen.

But hearing that Dafu went to find food, at least I'm safe as long as he's still alive. At least that spider keeps his word.

"Well, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I'd be a corpse by now," I said gratefully. I felt really bad for only thanking him now after we'd chatted for so long.

"It's nothing, it was just a small favor," the saleswoman said casually.

"Oh, by the way, who exactly are you? Did we really know each other before?" I asked, quite puzzled.

I'm the kind of person who can't let things go on my mind. If there's something I can't figure out, it's like having a needle stuck in my teeth, making me feel really uncomfortable.

That's why I wanted to find out how the lady who sells DVDs and I met.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Those were probably just some things you said when you were young and ignorant. They don't matter now," the DVD seller said casually.

"What exactly happened? Just tell me," I said, quite curiously. It really piqued my curiosity.

"Do you remember when you taught that rooster how to pick up girls?" the DVD seller asked with amusement.

"I know. Ah... could you be that little caterpillar?" I exclaimed in surprise, hardly believing it.

Did that caterpillar really turn into a goddess-like butterfly? It's true what they say, girls really do change a lot as they grow up! I can hardly believe it, the change is so dramatic.

"Yes, that's me, the little caterpillar in my eyes back then," the DVD seller said with a gentle smile.

"It really is you! I was wondering why you looked so familiar, but I couldn't quite place you. I never imagined it would be you! You've transformed into a butterfly! You're still so beautiful, and you've achieved such remarkable success. It's unbelievable!" I exclaimed in astonishment, completely unable to believe that this was the shy caterpillar I had encountered before.

"Yes, I've changed, and haven't you changed too? Haven't you also become a fly? And you even won first place in the flying competition," Miss Disc Buyer said happily.

"That first place was just pure luck, nothing more. By the way, why didn't you participate?" I asked curiously.

“I attended a very important ball during that time, so I missed it. But when they said the first prize was 12 cents, I could hardly believe it. I never expected it to really be you,” Miss Disc Buyer said with a soft smile.

"Haha, luck really is just luck," I said modestly. But to be honest, there really was a huge element of luck involved, and thinking about it now still makes me shudder.

"By the way, have you been practicing dancing all this time?" I asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm mostly rehearsing dances. I rarely come out. I didn't expect to run into you this time," said the DVD seller.

"Since it was you, why didn't you tell me before? Why were you keeping me in suspense?" I said, quite annoyed.

"I thought you had completely forgotten me. Even if I told you, I was afraid you wouldn't remember, which would be so embarrassing. So I'd rather not say anything," Miss Ya said.

"How could that be? How could you not remember? You're overthinking it."

"I'm just worried that it would be embarrassing if you couldn't remember. Actually, if you still couldn't remember just now, I wouldn't have said anything more," Miss Ya said.

"How could I not remember? You know that rooster almost ate me. If I hadn't been smart, I would have been eaten by that rooster." I still feel lingering fear when I think about what happened back then.

Having escaped death, we even ran into an acquaintance, who turned out to be a goddess. Inevitably, we started talking a lot, and before we knew it, we were reminiscing about how we escaped from the rooster's beak.

Then, I participated in the competition, and eventually ended up here. I described it as vivid and colorful, and I spoke eloquently. The lady who sold the DVDs listened quietly on the side, laughing from time to time, and sometimes discussing things with me.

If there was anything I didn't understand, I could ask him. We chatted like that, and it was an exceptionally pleasant conversation. I never imagined that my goddess and I would have so many topics to talk about.

The DVD seller mostly listened to me talk. It was rare for me to have such an audience member. I managed to make her laugh as if I were doing a stand-up comedy routine.

Even the guards around me were amused by me. I suddenly realized that I had the potential to be a comedian.

Time passed by unnoticed. By the end, my mouth was dry and my stomach was growling. That's when I realized that Dafu still hadn't come back.

"Hey, why hasn't Dafu come back yet?" I looked around curiously. It's been so long, shouldn't he be back by now?

Had I gotten lost? Or encountered some danger? A sense of unease began to creep into my heart.

"Yes, judging from the time they left, they should be back by now. Why haven't they come back yet?" Princess Buying Discs said, also puzzled.

"I'm so glad to have met you today, and thank you for saving me. That's all for now, I need to go find my friends," I said politely.

"We'll go help you find it," said the DVD seller.

That won't do. They've already done me a huge favor by saving me, and now they're even helping me find someone. I can't possibly accept that, so I want to refuse.

But before I could say anything, just as I was about to refuse, the guard of the girl who bought the disc spoke up.

“Miss, we’ve been out for too long. We should go back now. If we risk our lives again and something goes wrong, we can’t afford to take responsibility,” the guard who was buying the DVDs said hurriedly.

What exactly happened when he bought the DVD? He was fine when he was just a caterpillar, so why is he acting so high and mighty now? Did he have some kind of extraordinary encounter?

But that's clearly not what I'm concerned about. Everyone has their own secrets, right? What if she's some kind of saint or something?

P.S.: Isn't this a real-life example of a girl's dramatic transformation as she grows up? Isn't it? Isn't it?
