I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"Young lady, how do you plan to sell this?"

Lin Chaoyan and Han Dong sat for a long time before someone finally took the initiative to ask them something.

"Eggs are worth one knife-shaped coin each, and rabbits are worth ten knife-shaped coin each." They originally wanted to sell them by weight, but they didn't have a scale, and they were too embarrassed to ask others to lend them one, so the two of them decided to sell them by the piece.

"...Give me twenty."

He thought the young girls were just teasing him, but he never expected that Lin Chaoyan and Han Dongzhen would put twenty eggs in his basket.

Seeing Lin Chaoyan's happy expression as she held the knife-shaped coin, the man suddenly felt a little guilty and gave her two more before leaving.

"Uncle, you've given me too much!"

In business, one must be honest and not be greedy for small gains. Lin Chaoyan took the money, stood up, and called out to the man.

"not much!"

Judging from how quickly the man left, Lin Chaoyan realized that she had sold it too cheaply, but seeing the customers scrambling to buy it, she couldn't raise the price, so she decided to keep it the same.

After selling the last rabbit, Qiu Shenji bought some things and returned. Then, people around him complained about how his younger siblings were so irresponsible and wasteful.

Qiu Shenji just smiled and said, "So what if I lose? It's no big deal." Han Dong, his younger brother, was a spoiled brat who was mentally abused by his parents before he transmigrated and only knew how to study.

Lin Chaoyan, the younger sister, was the family's darling after transmigrating. She suffered a lot because of her early transmigration, but in recent years, Ying Zheng has doted on her. She lives a life of quiet desperation, rarely venturing into the mundane world and has had little contact with worldly affairs.

Qiu Shenji smiled and replied to everyone that his younger siblings were still small and it was alright! Then he packed up his stall and headed back.

"Old Qiu! We're selling at a loss!"

Lin Chaoyan and Han Dong lowered their heads, feeling that they were holding Qiu Shenji back.

"It's alright! So what if we lose money? We wouldn't have thought of selling it if we hadn't been eating too much. At least we didn't go home empty-handed today. I bought you some things. Han Dong wanted ink, and you bought some nice silk and cotton fabric to make clothes. I'll buy you ready-made clothes when I have more money in the future." Qiu Shenji knew that Lin Chaoyan didn't like rouge and powder, so he didn't buy any, but he did buy a hairpin.

"Fabric? Old Qiu, you can even make clothes?"

"Wow, that's amazing! A Taoist priest can even make clothes?" Lin Chaoyan's eyes lit up as she looked at him.

"...I don't know how! You don't know either, girl?"

What should we do then? I should have asked beforehand.

"I've only ever sewed clothes for dolls, and I only know how to do simple mending." Lin Chaoyan, who specializes in embroidery and clothing, has no patience to learn, nor does she intend to.

The three fell into a silent understanding…

Just then, the previously clear sky suddenly started to drizzle.

The three of them looked at the raindrops falling from the sky, exchanged glances, and took off running, so fast that the tail behind them couldn't keep up at all.

Back home, the three of them took a nice hot shower. Lin Chaoyan, thinking about the tail that had been following them, decided to have a serious talk with the two of them.

The fabric wasn't wasted either; Du Ming volunteered, saying he was skilled at everything from embroidery to washing clothes and cooking.

"Sister?"

"Asagao, is something the matter?"

Lin Chaoyan stood on the mountaintop, holding an umbrella, looking down at the foot of the mountain. Her unusually serious face made the two men nervous. Although Qiu Shenji had never witnessed Lin Chaoyan's strength, he had heard Han Dong say that she was the strongest among the three. Since their strength was already a drag, they had to take care of Lin Chaoyan's living expenses.

"There was a tail behind me just now, Lao Qiu, have you gotten into trouble with someone lately?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a hand seal, summoning a five-mile fog that enveloped the entire mountain from the middle of the mountain.

What? Girl, which one of us is the Taoist priest? I don't even know how to make hand seals out of thin air.

"I did a fortune telling for someone before, and now I'm entangled with them. The ultimate winner of the Warring States period will be your ex-boyfriend. Anyone else who tries to stop me is just trying to kill me. Of course, I won't go if your ex-boyfriend comes."

Hearing those repeated calls of "ex-boyfriend," Lin Chaoyan really wanted to slap Qiu Shenji across the face. "Old Qiu, if you can't get over this 'ex-boyfriend' thing, I'm going to beat you up! And me? My punches really hurt! My magic requires something to support it to learn, so I can't teach you. You all need to find ways to become stronger! Xiao Du is working hard to learn the martial arts manual I gave him, and Daitouji and Gou Dan are also trying."

If I die in battle next time, have you figured out what to do? The Time and Space Administration is very powerful. Last time, that weakling's self-destruction nearly killed us. Some unruly time travelers won't be much weaker.

While enjoying the comforts, don't let your guard down. The library has martial arts manuals, all top-tier techniques from the world of martial arts novels. You decide what to do!

She's never been anyone's protector; being soft-hearted is a disease, and Lin Chaoyan is genuinely afraid of softening her heart again when she encounters Ying Zheng in her dreams. She's also afraid of being manipulated by that mysterious man again, so she's simply stopped practicing.

"Asagao, don't worry, I'll grow up quickly. Next time we move, I'll go out for a trip. The bigger the Book of Deduction incident, the richer the rewards. Let's agree on a place to meet again in six years." Asagao can live forever; how lonely she'll be without my long lifespan. I can't really rely on Du Ming's descendants to faithfully protect her!

As an adult, I can't afford to lose to two kids! Even if I'm not that much stronger, I shouldn't hold them back and offer help when needed; that's how I live up to my role as the older brother!

"I understand. As the eldest brother, I certainly won't lose to you. I've been cultivating, and I will be even more diligent and hardworking in the future."

"Let's meet in the Qinling Mountains! I'll be waiting for you there. If you break your promise in six years, I'll settle in the East China Sea alone for ten years and then move on to another place."

The three musketeers gazed into the distance, each lost in their own thoughts. Alone in a foreign land, they felt especially homesick during festivals. Here, they were family.

"Oh no! The fertilizer wasn't distributed to the fields." Han Dong suddenly remembered that the composted fertilizer was still lying around somewhere.

"...Seriously, second brother, do you have to spoil the mood at a time like this? Do you want to drag your sister into playing with poop again?" Qiu Shenji tucked Han Dong's head under his arm and rubbed it vigorously.

"Don't worry, I'll let the wind solve everything. Let's take a break today and leave it to the power of nature." With that, he raised his hand and cast a wind-controlling spell, heading towards the Shit Mountain.

Although we didn't have braised pork for lunch, we did have sauerkraut fish, stir-fried beef with scallions, and stir-fried green beans...

Without those two threatening individuals, life would have been quite enjoyable for the three of them.

After dinner, Lin Chaoyan swung on a swing in the rain, while the other three practiced their martial arts. The silly chicken, Gou Dan, kept her company, soaked in the rain.

The hustle and bustle made her feel like an outsider; despite her best efforts, she couldn't fit in. The tranquility made her feel lonely and afraid. Lin Chaoyan closed her eyes, listening to the raindrops hitting the umbrella, trying to find a sanctuary of her own.

She really hated herself looking at herself like this, so she got up, went back inside, picked up a basket, and went out for a stroll to find the secrets of the mountains.

"Xiao Du, let's take a stroll!"

At this moment, Lin Chaoyan had some leisure to appreciate the scenery of the mountain forest, especially when a gentle breeze blew in her face, making her skin feel refreshed and comfortable.

I looked around and picked some common, non-toxic mushrooms along the way, putting them in my basket. I also gathered some wild berries and ate them as I strolled along.

"Hiccup~"

"Holy crap! Thank goodness no one saw it, or my aloof persona would have crumbled."

A ray of sunlight fell, and the rain stopped! Raindrops slid off the leaves, pattering on the ground and splashing up in bursts. On the ground, streams flowed, gathering into puddles that reflected the rainbow in the sky, like a colorful mirror.

"It's true that sunshine always follows the storm; wouldn't a rainbow after the rain be considered a gift?"

I still haven't changed my habit of talking to myself after all these years! Lin Chaoyan's peaceful life was shattered by a familiar yet unfamiliar voice in her mind.

“Ba Jun, she used modern business knowledge to seize Ba Qing’s fate.”

Ba Qing? Ba the Widow? She's over seventy years old now, and Ah Zheng's top sworn brother?

"Do you want me to kill her? Since she's gone to such lengths, why hasn't the Cleaner appeared?" Han Dong was discovered and hunted down in just seven days, so why is she alright? Lin Chaoyan wondered if the world's consciousness had given her special treatment.

"Sweet potato died such a tragic death that most low-level henchmen wouldn't dare take on this mission. Whether you kill her or not is up to you. As for her, besides that system, she has nothing of value to you. If you don't take action, the Time and Space Administration will send people to clean up the mess once things get out of hand."

Using her for fishing? That's a bit much! Lin Chaoyan planned to try and persuade her, and if she didn't listen, she would use her for fishing.
