Chapter 1: A Bit of Good Luck, First Meeting with Xiao Wu
"Praise life!"
Qi Lin watched the carriages speeding past on the road, then bent down to pick up a gold coin that had fallen from a gap in one of the carriages.
As long as he had gold coins, he could enjoy delicious food, enjoy life, and even add to his family's luxurious country villa.
This was the Douluo Continent, southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fanos Province, Radish Village!
Qi Lin had been transmigrated for six years.
It was only because in his previous life, he and his wife were playing late at night, and his wife cosplayed as Xiao Wu from the Douluo Continent anime. Qi Lin felt it wasn't quite accurate and casually said he wanted to try what it felt like in real life.
Then he transmigrated!
But Qi Lin was just like that; he was always at ease with whatever came his way, because his luck had always been very good.
He was used to it!
After transmigrating, Qi Lin was still called Qi Lin, but his family's conditions were not very good at first.
His parents' Spirits were both trash Spirits, one a sickle and the other Blue Silver Grass.
His ancestors for three generations had been poor, relying on a bit of ancestral land to make a living.
This situation only changed after Qi Lin was born.
After Qi Lin was born,
when there wasn't enough milk to drink, a lame doe would get lost and stumble upon their door.
When the family didn't have enough food, various wild game would always be delivered right to their doorstep.
When they needed money, he would find a silver coin outside the door the next day.
Immediately after that, he started finding coins every day—bronze coins, silver coins, gold coins, in rotation.
Finally, the family's furniture and the entire house changed completely.
Qi Lin's family thus became the richest in Radish Village.
After wandering around the village for a while, seeing the sun set, Qi Lin prepared to head home.
On the way back, the villagers he passed were all very lively and polite to him, hoping to catch some of his good luck.
Watching Qi Lin walk away, several simple-minded men gathered together, their faces full of envy.
"Sigh, I finally understand, some people are just not born to suffer."
"Exactly, the only thing separating us from being the richest is a son like him."
"Let's find some time to ask Qi Goudan, what's his secret to having such a son?"
Qi Goudan was Qi Lin's father's former name. Later, he himself disliked the name and, at his son's urging, changed it to Qi Tian.
As soon as Qi Lin returned home, he was immediately pulled aside by Qi Tian, who was sitting in the Outer Courtyard enjoying the cool air.
Qi Tian looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, his face and figure appearing slightly plump, with only faint traces of his handsome youthful features remaining.
However, this was also due to their increasingly better life in recent years.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Seeing Qi Tian's mysterious expression, Qi Lin also became curious.
But then he heard words that completely shocked him.
"Hehe, good son, do you want a wife or not?"
Qi Tian had a mischievous look on his face and even winked at Qi Lin.
Qi Lin, after hearing this, opened his mouth in shock.
After a while, he gave Qi Tian a thumbs up.
"Dad, you're really something. I'm only six, and you're already thinking about my marriage. Whose daughter is it?"
As he spoke, Qi Lin was also wondering who it could be.
Could it be the daughters of those rich merchants or nobles in Nuoding City?
Ever since his family became wealthy, Qi Tian began to want to prove himself and even started a small business.
Not for anything else, but to prove that his current success wasn't entirely due to his son.
But he quickly suffered a great loss, and reluctantly, he had to bring Qi Lin with him when doing business.
This was also Qi Lin's request; mainly, he didn't want to stay cooped up in Radish Village all the time.
Having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he definitely wanted to travel around.
Later, the family's business indeed inexplicably started to improve for various reasons.
It was also for this reason that Qi Lin got to know the daughters of several rich merchants and minor nobles in Nuoding City.
Qi Tian chuckled, "I didn't say you have to marry now. We can cultivate feelings first, and in a few years, it'll be about time."
Children on the Douluo Continent generally developed very quickly, especially after awakening their Spirit.
Therefore, getting married at twelve or thirteen was completely normal.
When Qi Tian was young, his family was poor, and he had a trash Spirit. He later relied on his handsome face and persistent pursuit to marry Qi Lin's mother at eighteen.
Then, Qi Tian added, "That little girl is very cute, you know!"
Qi Lin casually said, "How cute can she be!"
He wasn't some Grandmaster of loli-worship; no matter how cute, she couldn't sway his heart.
Qi Tian squeezed his eyes, pulling Qi Lin to walk towards the house.
"You'll see. Your mom likes her a lot and wants to adopt her as a goddaughter. Only your dad, me, is secretly thinking of you."
After entering the house, the two saw a gentle woman leading a little girl in a pink dress, with a tender, dewy face, walking down the stairs not far away.
Looking at the familiar little face of the girl, and her scorpion braid that hung past her hips, Qi Lin was slightly stunned.
Isn't this Xiao Wu?
Xiao Wu's appearance was not much different from the anime, but Qi Lin still felt that she looked even cuter in person.
The gentle woman was Qi Lin's mother, Xu Qian!
Xu Qian looked at Qi Lin, who was being pulled back by Qi Tian, and said with a smile, "Qi Lin is back? Come quickly, Mom will introduce you."
Then she brightly introduced Xiao Wu, who was beside her.
"This is Xiao Wu. Because her daddy and mommy were eaten by Spirit Beasts, she has no home to go back to, so Mom decided to adopt her."
Qi Lin was slightly taken aback.
Was there this plot point in the original work?
It seemed there wasn't!
Then, Xu Qian pointed at Qi Lin and gently said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, this is Qi Lin. You should call him Gege from now on."
Xiao Wu sized up Qi Lin. How to put it?
This human boy in front of her was fair-skinned and clean, not only very handsome, but also had a gentle smile on his face. Just by looking at him a bit more, Xiao Wu felt her little heart beating very fast.
However, upon hearing Xu Qian tell her to call this boy Gege, Xiao Wu's tender little face immediately scrunched up into a frown.
She said clearly, "Aunt Xu Qian, can Xiao Wu be the Jie? Xiao Wu doesn't want to be a Meimei."
In the Star Dou Great Forest, she had always been the big boss.
Xu Qian looked at Xiao Wu with an amused expression and gently coaxed, "Xiao Wu, you have to be obedient. You just said you just turned six, but your Qi Lin Gege is already six years and four months old."
After hearing Xu Qian's words, Xiao Wu pouted.
Although not very willing, she still clearly called out, "Qi Lin Gege," to Qi Lin.
She actually wanted to say that she was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, but she couldn't expose her identity.
Moreover, Aunt Xu Qian was so gentle and even said she would give her endless carrots, so she had to listen to Aunt Xu Qian.
She could only privately ask Qi Lin to call her Xiao Wu Jie later.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu showed Qi Lin a sweet smile on the surface, but her little fists were already clenched.
In the Spirit Beast World, the biggest fist ruled.
Even in the human World, she wanted to be the big boss!
