Transmigration with QQ Farm-Chapter 55

“Zheng Yuan, you are growing up. Even though you are not yet of age, but you are pretty mature. Some things we need to keep from Zheng Bin and Lan Lan, but we should loop you in. You are a boy, and will be the backbone of the family, we can’t keep hiding things from you.”

Cheng Xiao Xiao brought her brother out so she could talk to him in private. Pointing at the villagers in front of them, she said, “Zheng Yuan, you should know that our well had only been there for a couple of months.”

“I know!” Cheng Zheng Yuan hadn’t quite figure out what she was trying to tell him yet, but he listened carefully.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled nonchalantly, “Zheng Yuan, all our possession has a hint of mythical air, and these were all due to the mythical spring. Otherwise, these won’t be happening to us.”

“Mythical spring!” Cheng Zheng Yuan muttered to himself. He was aware of this, but he never asked how the well just appeared over night.

Nor did he know why his father hired the villagers to water the bamboos with water from the well. His parents never clarified it. Now he couldn’t help but to ask, “Big sister, why did we ask the villagers to water the bamboo forest?”

“Simple, because you guys like to cultivate in the bamboo forest. Our well water is from mythical spring. I want to turn the bamboo forest into mythical bamboos, that will enhance your cultivation.” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled.

Suddenly, Cheng Zheng Yuan’s eyes brightened and he shouted, “Awesome, big sister! Converting the bamboo forest into mythical forest! That’s amazing! No wonder I felt that this bamboo forest is looking more and more different!”

“Exactly, we want to slowly enhance this place, enhance our family. I want to turn this into the best sacred land there are!”

“This….” Cheng Zheng Yuan was surprised, but also excited. With widened eyes, he asked, “Big sister, is that really possible?”

“Why not? We are already in the process of doing so.”

Cheng Xiao Xiao casually picked a locket of waterfall-like long hair and twirled it around with her fingers. Smiling, she said, “Others have mythical veins, we have mythical spring. It’s not unfathomable to create a sacred land, a paradise. Zheng Yuan, don’t worry. Our home will definitely be an unique existence!”

“Big sister!” Cheng Zheng Yuan was moved. He looked steadfastly at the fair woman in front of him. She’s his sister. He knew she had chanced a lot since she was injured, and had lost all her memories before the event. But none of these were important, as long as she was still his sister.

Now the older sister had changed. She was still the same person as before, her personality was the same. The only difference was that she was secretive now. Like she has many, many secrets, and at the same time, she was becoming more and more resourceful.

He didn’t ask what brought about the change. Subtly he had noticed that the parents were relying more and more on his sister. At the same time, the change inside the family had allowed him to see another kind of hope.

Powerful, powerful hope.

He hadn’t forgot what the days were like before – being bullied by those in the same family and even banished from the family. His parents endured the humility and fled to this place, yet the family still followed, trying to kill them. They injured his father and his sister and almost destroyed his entire family.

That was the moment when he swore that if he could survive that, he would kill them all!

That was his duty. So he had to become strong. Strong enough to protect his family, and seek revenge!

“Zheng Yuan, something you want to share?” Picking up the looking on her brother’s face, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but to ask.

ch 55.2 – Gifting of Pets

Cheng Zheng Yuan let out a long breathe and said determinedly, “Big sister, let’s work becoming the most powerful and special individuals!”

“Ho ho ho….,” laughed Chang Xiao Xiao happily and asked again, “Of course, we will be the strongest!”

Casting a glance at him, she suddenly thought of something, “Zheng Yuan, what kind of beast do you like?”

“Beast?” Asked Cheng Zheng Yuan, perplexed.

“Yes, what do you like? Wolf? Tiger? Lion? Just don’t ask for azure dragon, white tiger, black tortoise (“xuanwu”), vermilion bird¹, kirin, or giant eagle. Those I don’t have!”

(As they are mythical creatures, there are many different rendition / interpretation of what they look like. Hope this will help give you an idea of what a kirin looks like. J)

Well, it wasn’t that they didn’t exist, but the dimension haven’t leveled up enough. She couldn’t quite produce them just yet.

“Big sister, what do you mean?” Cheng Zheng Yuan still didn’t know what her intention was.

Cheng Xiao Xiao patted him on his shoulder, “Zheng Yuan, never mind why I ask, just tell me what you like the best right now?”

“Wolf? Tiger? Lion?” Cheng Zheng Yuan mumbled to himself, then with the most seriously tone, he said, “Big sister, I like wolves!”

“Wolf? Okay!”

She had already collected and tamed an azure wolf a while back. Smiling, she said, “Zheng Yuan, you know, there will be turmoil coming our way shortly. So I am going to give you an azure wolf for a pet!”

“WHAT?”

Cheng Zheng Yuan shouted out uncontrollably. But before he could say anything else, a flash appeared next to his sister and a gigantic, ferocious azure wolf now stood in front of him.

“This…”

He was stunned. The azure wolf eyed his new master with disgruntlement.

The azure wolf and his young mistress could communicate telepathically, he knew full well that he has been gifted to the rug rat in front of him. He wasn’t pleased with that decision, but also knew that how he felt was irrelevant.

“Zheng Yuan, to tell you the truth. I am a beast tamer!” Cheng Xiao Xiao chuckled at the dumbfounded look on her brother.

“Tame… tame…. Big sister, you said you are a beast tamer?” Cheng Zheng Yuan couldn’t quite comprehend what he had just heard.

How did he now know when the sister that he grew up with had became so powerful? He had no idea. And she’s a beast tamer?

“That’s right. I am a beast tamer!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao continued to ask, “What, don’t you believe me? Hasn’t the appearance of the azure wolf convinced you of that? Xiao Ching², go to your new master!”

“That.. that’s not what I meant!” Cheng Zheng Yuan shook his head, then turned and looked at the azure wolf. He knew his sister wasn’t lying to him.

But this surprise was too huge! He couldn’t quite process that just yet! He knew there were azure wolves in the hidden parts of the mountains. He had hunted one before when he went he went hunting with his father in the past, but that one was much smaller than this one in size.

“Big sister, thank you so much!” Cheng Zheng Yuan calmed down and accepted his gift and thanked his sister gratefully.

“You are welcome. Having this king of all wolves, I am also going to delegate to you the responsibilities of taking care of the entire clan of wolves. I trust that you will do a good job project our place, right?”

“Yes!” He replied decisively.

“Good, take the azure wolf for walks whenever you have free time and guard our land. I think we are expecting quite a few visitors shortly!”

“Big sister, I understand. I will do a good job and not disappoint you!”

“Okay, I am putting my trust in you!”
