Turtle Mountain, at its foot.
Before an invisible barrier, the Turtle Spirit Array, which covered an area of dozens of miles, was being violently shaken by a humanoid creature.
"Hmm? A doll?"
Qin Beast's divine sense captured the scene at the foot of the mountain, where a child of about six or seven years old was seen.
He was short and stocky, with a dirty little face, carrying a big bag on his back, with short and thick limbs, sparse eyebrows, round, beady eyes, a face full of fat, and a little bulging belly.
First impression: Holy crap, this kid is really ugly!
Second glance: Actually, it's not bad, hmm... ugly-cute!
"Eeya—"
"Ee-ya-ya-"
"Eee-ee-ya-ya-ya-ya-"
At this moment, the chubby girl, carrying a large bundle on her back and with a fierce expression, crashed into the invisible barrier that had manifested on the mountain road.
With each impact, the protective mountain array would tremble, and the chubby girl would be thrown away, landing on the ground, screaming in pain and feeling dizzy.
After shaking her head and clearing her mind for a moment, she returned with a fierce expression and charged forward, yelling and screaming, repeatedly ramming against the barrier.
"Holy crap! How can a mere first-tier mortal possess such monstrous strength?"
"This is a level five magic array capable of withstanding attacks from a Nascent Soul cultivator!?"
Qin Shou was truly shocked.
He detected that the chubby girl had no cultivation level; she had only managed to activate the mountain-protecting formation with her superhuman strength.
"But isn't this chubby kid a little silly?"
"If this path is blocked, why not try another one?"
Qin Shou's figure flashed and appeared at the foot of the mountain, looking at the chubby little girl.
Yi Cheng, a resident of Dali Village, possessed superhuman strength. Her astonishing appetite led her to bankrupt half the village, prompting her elderly father and fellow villagers to tearfully send her away. The villagers tricked her, telling her that a celestial being lived deep in the wilderness, and if she could become his apprentice, she would not only have an endless supply of food but also meat at every meal. So, Yi Cheng, carrying her belongings, went there alone.
"What a beast! He's not even human!"
How much food can a baby eat?
"They actually went so far as to drive them out of the village and leave them to fend for themselves..."
The Qin beast was filled with grief and indignation.
She just wanted to have a full meal; how innocent was the child?
"Huh? You can fly! Are you an immortal??"
The chubby girl stood there, scratching her head, her small, beady eyes darting around as she curiously stared at Qin the Beast.
Grandpa Agou from the village once said that if you meet a deity, you should kowtow to them, which means kneeling down and bowing.
"My lord, I bow down to you!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yi Cheng immediately knelt down, slamming his head against the ground repeatedly.
In an instant, the earth shook and the forest birds took flight in fright.
Yi Cheng bumped his forehead and got a big bump.
Qin Beast: .................
have a look!
Look!
What a wonderful child!
How sincere! How polite!
Those beastly villagers, how could they bear to abandon such a child in the wilderness... Even if she's ugly, they shouldn't have done that!
"Oh, poor child."
Qin Shou stretched out a hand and placed it on the large bump on Yi Cheng's forehead, using his spiritual power to help remove the bruise.
"Come on, Uncle will take you up the mountain for dinner."
"Really...really?ˋ( ° ▽、° )?"
"Thank you... thank you, Immortal."
"Goose... Goose, please kowtow to me!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The earth wept...
"Alright, alright, good boy, get up now."
Qin Shou brought Yi Cheng to the mountain.
"Wow! Master, where did you bring this little baby back from?"
"Look at her, she looks so strange... ugly-cute, hehe~~"
With tenderness and joy, she pinched Yicheng's chubby little face, full of curiosity.
"Tell your sister, what's your name?"
"Goose...goose calls, orange."
Yi Cheng rolled her tiny green bean eyes around, looking at Wen Qing with a blank expression, letting her touch her face.
"Hehe, I picked her up at the foot of the mountain..."
Qin Shou briefly recounted the events to Wen Qing and Chang Sheng.
"Phew~, it was just a false alarm. Senior Brother Changsheng and I thought enemies had attacked."
Wenqing patted her chest to calm herself down.
"But this chubby little kid is so pitiful."
"Her father and those villagers are utterly despicable; they abandoned such a young child in the wilderness for a few meals."
"What if she encounters a monster...?"
Wenqing spoke with tears welling up in her eyes.
Qin Shou:..............Heh, with this little chubby girl's monstrous strength, how could she possibly shake the Nascent Soul Formation? If she really encountered a demon beast, it's hard to say who would be unlucky.
Qin Shou even suspected that this chubby girl could kill a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with a single punch, and even a Golden Core Realm cultivator who stood still could be beaten to the point of questioning their existence.
Such incredible strength, could it be some kind of unparalleled physique?
But the system didn't give any notification.
"Gurgle~~~"
Just then, the little chubby girl's stomach started rumbling with hunger.
“Goose...goose is hungry...o(` · ~ · ′。)o”
Yi Cheng clutched her tummy and looked pitifully at Wen Qing.
"Sweetie Yicheng, let me cook you some food."
With a gentle turn, she ran into the kitchen and busied herself.
Half an hour later, a pot of fragrant rice was served, along with a bowl of braised pork and several side dishes.
At a small square table, Qin Shou, Chang Sheng, Wen Qing, and Yi Cheng took their seats in turn.
ˋ( ° ▽、° )
From the moment the plate of braised pork was placed on the table, Yi Cheng's gaze never left it.
Drooling and laughing all over the place, his little eyes sparkling.
But then she looked at the crowd somewhat timidly and said in a clear voice, "Goose...goose wants to eat _(′?`」 ∠)_"
"Oh, this chubby little girl actually knows how to be polite."
Qin Shou laughed.
"Let's eat an orange."
With a warm smile, Wenqing pushed the plate of braised pork in front of Yicheng.
"Thank you... thank you, big sister."
Hachi hachi hachi.........
Yi Cheng rolled up the plate of braised pork and started eating it with gusto, his chubby face pressed against the plate.
Qin Beast: ..........(⊙_⊙)? This is practically licking my boots!!!
"Oh dear, Yicheng, eat slowly, don't choke, eat more rice... Ah!!!"
She offered gentle and considerate words of comfort, but before she could finish speaking, a "smack" was heard as the plate of braised pork was slammed onto the table.
Qin Shou looked over, his eyelids twitching.
The plate was licked clean... completely spotless.
It's even cleaner than the one Changsheng washed!
"Hehehe, good...good, good, goose...goose wants more to eat☆▽☆"
Slurp~~
Yi Cheng licked the grease from the corner of her mouth, stared at Wen Qing with her small, beady eyes, and looked at her with hope.
"Poor Yi Cheng, she must have been starving for a long time."
With tears welling in her eyes, she stroked Yicheng's little head.
"Yicheng, eat some rice first, then I'll stew some braised pork for you and make some pheasant soup to nourish your little one~"
"Thank you... thank you so much, big sister (?`?′?)"
Yi Cheng, feeling innocent and adorable, thought this older sister was a really kind person, as she was feeding the goose.
Grandpa Village Chief said that people should learn to be grateful.
"Big sister, goose... goose will kowtow to you!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yi Cheng jumped off the stool and knelt on the ground, banging his head repeatedly.
Click! Click!
Cracks appeared in the ground of the courtyard, and the entire Turtle Mountain began to shake.
!!!!\\u003d????(?o?o ?)?Holy crap~~~damn~~~~~~~
Qin Shou looked terrified and quickly tried to stop him.
"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep banging on it, you'll knock this little hill down!"
Fortunately, after Qin Shou's repeated persuasion, Yi Cheng finally stopped "expressing gratitude" and started eating heartily while lying on the table.
The way they devoured it made you think: This food must smell delicious!
