A Little Bit of Good Luck, First Meeting Xiao Wu

"Praise life!"

Qi Lin watched a carriage race past on the road, then bent down to pick up a Gold Soul Coin that had fallen through a gap in the carriage.

As long as he had Gold Soul Coins, he could enjoy delicious food and life, and even contribute a few bricks and tiles to the luxurious countryside villa at home.

This was Douluo Continent, in Radish Village of Farnos Province, southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Qi Lin had been transported here for six years.

It was all because he had been fooling around with his wife late one night in his previous life. She had cosplayed Xiao Wu from the Douluo Continent anime, and Qi Lin thought she did not look quite right, so he jokingly said he wanted to know what the real one felt like.

Then he had been transported here!

But that was simply Qi Lin's nature. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it, especially since his luck had always been quite good.

He was used to it!

After being transported here, Qi Lin was still called Qi Lin, though his family's circumstances had initially not been very good.

His parents' martial souls were both Wasted Spirits—one was a Sickle, and the other was Blue Silver Grass.

For three generations, his family had been poor, relying on a small patch of inherited farmland to survive.

That situation only began to change after Qi Lin was born.

After Qi Lin was born—

When there was not enough milk for him to drink, a lame doe would somehow lose its way and crash into their doorstep.

Whenever the family did not have enough food, all kinds of game would rush over as if delivering themselves to the door.

Whenever they needed money, they would find a Silver Soul Coin outside the door the next day.

Then they began finding them every day—Bronze Soul Coins, Silver Soul Coins, and Gold Soul Coins, taking turns appearing.

In the end, the furniture and the entire house had been completely transformed.

Qi Lin's family had thus become the richest family in Radish Village.

After wandering around the village for a while, Qi Lin saw that the sun was setting and prepared to head home.

Along the way, the villagers he passed greeted him warmly and politely, hoping to share a little of his good fortune.

After Qi Lin walked away, several simple, honest-looking men gathered together, their faces full of envy.

"Ah, now I understand. Some people just aren't born to suffer."

"Exactly. The only thing standing between us and becoming the richest family is a son like that."

"Maybe we should ask Qi Goudan someday if there's some trick to having a son?"

Qi Goudan had been Qi Lin's father's former name. Later, even he disliked it, so at his son's urging, he changed it to Qi Tian.

The moment Qi Lin returned home, Qi Tian, who had been sitting in the courtyard outside cooling off, immediately pulled him aside.

Qi Tian looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight. His face and body had become slightly plump, and only a faint trace of his youthful handsomeness remained.

Of course, that was because life had been getting better and better over the past few years.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Seeing the mysterious look on Qi Tian's face, Qi Lin grew curious as well.

But then he heard something so shocking that it nearly blew his mind.

"Hehe, good son, do you want a wife?"

Qi Tian wore a shameless grin and winked at Qi Lin.

Qi Lin's mouth fell open in shock.

Only after a long while did he give Qi Tian a thumbs-up.

"Dad, you're really something. I'm only six, and you're already considering my marriage. Which family is the girl from?"

As he spoke, Qi Lin began wondering who it could be.

Could it be the daughter of one of those wealthy merchants or nobles from Nuoding City?

Ever since the family became rich, Qi Tian had begun wanting to prove himself and even started a small business.

Not for any other reason, but to prove that his current life was not entirely thanks to his son.

But he quickly suffered a major loss. Left with no choice, he had to bring Qi Lin along whenever he conducted business.

This had also been Qi Lin's request. Mainly because he did not want to stay cooped up in Radish Village forever.

Since he had been transported to Douluo Continent, he naturally had to travel around and see the world.

After that, the family business really did begin improving for all sorts of inexplicable reasons.

It was through this that Qi Lin came to know the daughters of several wealthy merchants and minor noble families in Nuoding City.

Qi Tian chuckled. "I didn't say you had to marry her now. You can start cultivating your feelings first, and in a few years, it'll be about right."

Children on Douluo Continent generally matured very quickly, especially after awakening their martial souls.

So getting married at twelve or thirteen was perfectly normal.

Qi Tian's family had been poor when he was young, and he had a Wasted Spirit. Later, relying on his handsome face and relentless persistence, he finally married Qi Lin's mother at eighteen.

Qi Tian added, "That little girl is very cute!"

Qi Lin said casually, "Just how cute could she be?"

He was not some lolicon. No matter how cute she was, she could not shake his heart.

Qi Tian wiggled his brows and pulled Qi Lin into the house.

"Just take a look first. Your mother likes her quite a bit and is thinking of taking her in as a goddaughter. Your dad is just quietly looking out for you."

After entering the house, they saw a gentle woman leading a little girl in a pink dress down the nearby stairs. The girl had a tender, rosy little face.

Qi Lin froze slightly when he saw the little girl's familiar face and the scorpion braid trailing past her hips.

Wasn't this Xiao Wu?

Xiao Wu looked much the same as she did in the anime, but Qi Lin still thought she was even cuter in person.

The gentle woman was Qi Lin's mother, Xu Qian!

Seeing Qi Lin being dragged back by Qi Tian, Xu Qian smiled and said, "Qi Lin, you're back? Come here, Mommy will introduce you."

With a bright smile, she introduced the Xiao Wu beside her.

"This is Xiao Wu. Her father and mother were eaten by soul beasts, and she has nowhere to go, so Mommy has decided to adopt her."

Qi Lin was slightly stunned.

Was there something like this in the original story?

Apparently not!

Then Xu Qian pointed at Qi Lin and gently told Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, this is Qi Lin. You have to call him Brother from now on."

Xiao Wu sized Qi Lin up. How should she put it?

The little human boy before her was fair and clean-looking, and not only was he very handsome, but he also wore a gentle smile. After merely looking at him once more, Xiao Wu felt her little heart beating rapidly.

But when she heard Xu Qian tell her to call this little boy Brother, Xiao Wu's tender little face immediately scrunched up in a frown.

She said in a crisp voice, "Auntie Xu Qian, can Xiao Wu be the older sister? Xiao Wu doesn't want to be the younger sister."

In the Star Dou Great Forest, she had always been the boss.

Xu Qian looked at Xiao Wu with amusement and coaxed her gently, "Xiao Wu, be good. You said yourself that you just turned six, but Brother Qi Lin is already six years and four months old."

After hearing Xu Qian's words, Xiao Wu pouted.

Though she was unwilling, she still called out to Qi Lin in her crisp voice, "Brother Qi Lin."

She really wanted to say that she was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but she could not reveal her identity.

Besides, Auntie Xu Qian was so gentle and had even said she would give her all the carrots she could eat, so she had to listen to Auntie Xu Qian.

She could only make Qi Lin call her Sister Xiao Wu in private later.

At that thought, Xiao Wu gave Qi Lin a sweet smile on the surface, but her little fists had already clenched.

In the world of soul beasts, the biggest fist ruled.

Even in the human world, she would be the boss!
