Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1037: Raising My Younger Brother in the Future 14

The Giant-mouthed Beast has three major delicacies. All are ribs wrapped in plum blossom meat, with a small quantity and high price, especially chewy wrapped meat, and that tail, which is particularly fragrant when eaten because of its flexibility.

These three parts of the Giant-mouthed Beast are always sold separately, and the price is more than ten times that of the other parts of the Giant-mouthed Beast.

Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie took a full seven or eight days just to dismantle twenty Giant-mouthed Beasts.

This was all done in the living room of Qu Shuangshuang’s house, as it was the largest room there, with all the furniture put away, barely fitting one Giant-mouthed Beast.

They kept what they wanted, and the remaining Giant-mouthed Beasts brought them a full 300,000 credit points, even though the most valuable parts of the Giant-mouthed Beasts were kept by the two of them to eat.

This was a huge sum of money. Not only Qu Shuangshuang, even Fan Meijie, who always had generous pocket money, had never encountered so many credit points.

After celebrating their achievement, Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie each shared 150,000 credit points.

This is the lucrative bonus that only excellent students receive. These Giant-mouthed Beasts were actually bought by the school to subsidize outstanding students who performed exceptionally well in the Martial Artist Unified Exam.

As for ordinary students, they didn’t have the skills of Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie. If they managed to dismantle two Giant-mouthed Beasts in one assessment, it was already considered a good result.

The Giant-mouthed Beasts are extremely large. Although Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie kept only a small portion, the ribs, wrapped meat, and tails of ten Giant-mouthed Beasts were enough to pile up like a little mountain.

Fortunately, nowadays every household has storage space, allowing meat to be preserved for a long time since there is no time flow in storage spaces.

Traditional freezing is only suitable for short-term storage and is not suitable for long-term preservation of food, especially meat.

This is because after prolonged freezing, meat becomes less fresh, and the taste is significantly affected.

The summer vacation following was indeed as Fan Meijie had anticipated, as she was taken by Qu Shuangshuang to engage in crazy martial artist cultivation.

In Fan Meijie’s view, Qu Shuangshuang’s intensity of cultivation had always been extreme training, exhausting just by watching.

Now forced to train with Qu Shuangshuang every day, she was so tired that she wished she could fall asleep immediately; several times she wanted to slack off but was forcibly dragged up by Qu Shuangshuang to engage in martial artist cultivation.

The relentless and intense training during this summer had immediate effects.

By the time school started, Fan Meijie could clearly feel a significant improvement in her physical ability.

Since they earned credit points from selling Giant-mouthed Beasts, before the next Martial Artist Unified Exam, Qu Shuangshuang no longer had to worry about not having enough credit points to support her younger brother, and after school started, she quickly immersed herself in studies and training.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed. Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie were both fifteen years old, and this year they would welcome the biggest change since starting school.

Due to their outstanding martial artist talents, they were transitioning from primarily studying literature and supplementing it with martial arts training to focusing fully on cultivating the path of the martial artist, with academic courses becoming supplementary.

In the Martial Artist Unified Exam at age fifteen, Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie shone brightly, once again achieving excellent results.

The five years had matured Qu Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie, who were originally still childish, and both had grown tall due to cultivation.

If not for the childlike expressions on their faces, the two girls would look like adults.

In these five years, besides the rapid progress in cultivation, the greatest gain for Qu Shuangshuang was that her younger brother, Qu Chang’an, who had always been indifferent, finally felt some closeness to her as his sister.

Early on, when Qu Chang’an just started speaking, Qu Shuangshuang noticed that her brother seemed to be born emotionally indifferent.

Qu Chang’an was an exceptionally intelligent child. At the age of two, he could engage in logically coherent conversations with others, and by age three, he had self-taught himself the elementary school curriculum—a true genius.

Contrasting his talent, Qu Chang’an’s temperament was cold, whether towards her, his sister, towards Fan Meijie who watched him grow up, or towards Aunt Wu who occasionally took care of him; his feelings were indifferent, neither warm nor cold, permeated with a natural detachment.

No matter how good Qu Shuangshuang was to this brother, she couldn’t change his indifferently aloof nature, which made her feel quite frustrated at times.

But no matter the situation, Qu Shuangshuang never thought of giving up on being good to this brother, whether due to her reincarnation obsession or her deep-rooted affection from raising him for so long; she had completely fallen in love with Qu Chang’an from the bottom of her heart and couldn’t let go.

Perhaps over time, Qu Chang’an’s naturally indifferent disposition has softened due to Qu Shuang’s unwavering kindness, and now he feels a bit closer to her.

In the past five years, Qu Shuangshuang had relentlessly cared for Qu Chang’an, keeping him close by. Nowadays, children are not encouraged to attend kindergarten, instead starting formal education at age six.

This meant that before six, children had to be cared for by family. Qu Shuangshuang spent countless efforts bringing Qu Chang’an from a baby to a five-year-old child who could walk and run.

At the edge of the playground, a small vine craft hammock was set under the cool shade of trees, with a tea table in front of the hammock, holding a teapot emitting a faint tea aroma.

There were various snacks, a plate of assorted nuts, and a few children’s extracurricular books. This was Qu Shuangshuang’s special spot set up for Qu Chang’an.

Whenever Qu Shuangshuang had her martial artist classes and couldn’t accompany Qu Chang’an, he sat here eating, drinking tea, and reading to pass the time.

Today was no different. Qu Chang’an was engrossed in his book, reading little by little. Although these were books meant for children and the content seemed especially immature to him, he cherished them immensely.

Qu Chang’an once had no opportunity to access these precious textbooks filled with knowledge, and he envied those safe-zone children who could attend school and learn.

Lost in thought, Qu Chang’an didn’t notice a falling leaf blown onto his open book, tucked between its pages.

The breeze flipped through the pages, inadvertently turning several in the process.

Qu Chang’an hurriedly reached out to flip back to the page with the leaf, and he suddenly remembered something Qu Shuangshuang had said while teaching him to read, ”The breeze does not know words, so why does it randomly turn pages?”
