Fringe Octopus Translation: TWQQF ch 38.1 - The Brother Who Wanted to Get Strong

That night, Cheng Xiao Xiao had Yuteng came to assist her in expanding their farm again. In the past they could only have around 20 mythical animals; after Yuteng’s magical pointing, the range was increased by 3 folds. Now it could hold up to 100 or so mythical animals.

Not only was the ranch expanded, the pens and the coops were upgraded as well.

Members of the Cheng’s took a stroll through the ranch when it was all done and everybody was happy about the outcome. Cheng Xiao Xiao released tens of young adult mythical animals and infant mythical animals. The range looked beautiful and the young ones were running after the chickens and the ducks, happy laughter filled the range.

Mrs. Cheng smiled tenderly and Cheng Biyuan took on the duty of sweeping the animals’ waste to one side of the range to make the overly clean range looked more realistic.

The entire family busied themselves for an hours before they returned to rest in the courtyard.

“Xiao Xiao, what you said were all true?” asked Cheng Biyuan in disbelief.

Smiling, Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded, “Yes, dad. I saw Yuteng infuse a wild ginseng with spiritual air with my own eyes. You could see the growth spur of the wild ginseng with naked eyes, so, I think what she said was true!”

“Wonderful! Wonderful!” Cheng Biyuan didn’t expect little Yuteng to have this kind of ability. A happy look appeared on his face, “If I can have some 5,000 year old ginseng, never mind mid-level martial master, I could even shoot for expert martial master!”

“I have faith in you, dad!” She knew that her father tried very hard, but she was quite lazy herself. However, since she had the dimension, one day of cultivation for her equated to other’s 10 days in the outside world. Even though she hasn’t been trying too hard, but after a month’s worth of work, she’s already level one novice. Far from martial apprentice, but compare to your normal commoners, she was still quite advanced.

Even Cheng Zheng Yuan was only a level novice, still a ways from martial apprentice!

After having lunch and the parents retired to have a rest, Cheng Zheng Yuan grabbed his sister and dragged her out of the house. Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t know where he wanted to go, “Zheng Yuan, what had gotten into you?”

“Big sister, I want to go into the mountains!” said a very determined Cheng Zheng Yuan.

Cheng Xiao Xiao was very surprised and didn’t understand why he wanted to go into the mountains all of a sudden, so she asked, “Why? We have plenty of firewood at home. You don’t need to go into the mountains!”

“Big sister, I didn’t want to go for firewood. I want to go for wild ginseng!”

“What? To look for wild ginseng?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was even more surprised, “Why? You want to breakthrough faster also?”

When they were in the courtyard discussing about wild ginseng, Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t mention the part about the dimension. She only said that if their father can somehow get hold of a 5,000 year old wild ginseng, he will be able to breakthrough to the next level. She was just surprised that her brother also wants to look for wild ginseng.

Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure how to react to that one. Their parents were the only other ones who knew about the dimension, but not the two brothers and the sister. They were still young and they didn’t want them to say wrong things in front of wrong people.

“Yes, big sister. I want to cultivate at the fastest speed possible. The faster the better! The stronger the better!” said Cheng Zheng Yuan with a heroic look. His hands balled into fists and his eyes filled with desire to become strong.

It was nice that he was determined, but Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t certain where this strong desire came from all of a sudden, “Zheng Yuan, why did you think that?”

“Big sister….” Looking into the clear eyes of his older sister, his was even more determined, “Big sister, I won’t let you get hurt again. I want to become strong. I want to protect our family and not let another one of you get hurt by anything. Dad said that is the responsibility of a Cheng’s men. If we can’t even defend our own family, we aren’t worthwhile to practice martial arts, or be your family member!
