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

"Chao Chao...you~"

"Get lost...don't get in my way while I'm touching the screws..."

Mo Nanfeng's incessant attacks were driving Lin Chaoyan almost insane.

"Oh…"

Mo Nanfeng said "oh" and went off to wreak havoc on the wildflowers.

Lin Chaoyan suddenly recalled her childhood memories of spicy snails made by her grandfather. Back then, she couldn't suck them out properly and had to use a toothpick. Her grandmother would sit next to her and help her pick out a whole bowl of meat, making her feel incredibly satisfied.

There are also crayfish. I'll go to my space and scoop some out later. Those were brought back by Lin Chaoyan from the crayfish's place of origin, after she traveled over mountains and oceans.

As soon as Lin Chaoyan entered the area near the mud and sand, the water became murky. She waited for the water to clear before carefully examining the snails hidden underwater.

"The advantage of ancient times was that there were no apple snails when you touched snails, the air was unpolluted, and everything was completely natural..."

As Lin Chaoyan sighed, the two modern people arrived, and the three of them, each carrying a basket, joined the snail-catching family. They were determined to wipe out the snail family in this area.

"Let's collect snails together! We'll join in..."

"Look at the rocks by the stream, there are not only snails but also crabs. Tonight we'll eat snails and spicy crabs..." Lin Chaoyan said, pointing to the rocks.

"Chaoyan, come help me quickly, I can't fit this snail in any more space." Han Dong was calling to her from the other side.

Lin Chaoyan turned around and smiled gently. It seemed that Han Dong had become addicted to touching it. She had just given him a small basket, and it was already full so quickly.

Lin Chaoyan glanced at the overflowing pile of snails he had piled up, and then, adding to her own basket, quickly told Han Dong to stop. "That's enough, Grandpa, stop now! This is more than enough."

Of course, Han Dong didn't know this line; his life was completely detached from social entertainment. But that didn't stop him from being happy. He was happy no matter what his sister said; he had never experienced the kind of familial love that Lin Chaoyan had given him.

"Okay! I couldn't stop touching it once I started..."

He scratched his head sheepishly, a shy smile on his face. Han Dong was now a twenty-two-year-old young man. His cheat ability could extend his lifespan, effectively granting him immortality; Lin Chaoyan only needed to ensure he wouldn't be killed by external factors.

Qiu Shenji possessed none of the thunder magic, Taoist arts, or cheat codes that could extend his lifespan; without other factors, he was destined to face death.

Everyone except herself has undergone tremendous changes, and Lin Chaoyan once again hates Yongsheng.

"Little sister! What are you thinking about?" Qiu Shenji walked over carrying a basket, interrupting Lin Chaoyan's self-satisfaction.

"Look, bro just moved the whole crab nest..."

The basket was covered by a stone slab, and through the gap, one could see that it was full of crabs the size of an adult man's fist.

"Let's go back!" With Qiu Shenji's help, Lin Chaoyan got out of the stream.

Just then, Mo Nanfeng ran over carrying a large bunch of wildflowers of various colors. "Chaochao, these are for you. Although you are more beautiful than the flowers, you'll have to make do for now! After all, no flower is more beautiful than you..."

He didn't want to either! Every time he got close to Lin Chaoyan, he felt a flutter in his heart and couldn't help but express his feelings.

"Alright! You should leave now!" This damned curse, is it really impossible to break? He felt so uncomfortable, I felt like I could dig out three bedrooms and a living room with my toes.

Mo Nanfeng, who had only taken two steps, stopped on his own while carrying her on his back.

"What's wrong with you now?" Lin Chaoyan asked, puzzled. "Didn't I tell him to leave?"

"My legs won't obey me again, because I really miss you." Mo Nanfeng, now a devoted admirer, lifted his legs, trying to move forward. "Mo Nanfeng, please come! I'm begging you!"

The scene terrified Lin Chaoyan so much that she turned and ran. "You can't leave, huh? Then I'll leave."

When the others learned of the curse, they looked at him with pity and then left.

"Uncle-Master...can I sever ties with him first, and then we can recognize each other again after the curse is lifted..." How embarrassing!! Who wouldn't hate this kind of persistent pestering? Nie Lianzhou shook his head helplessly.

"...What did you say? Do you even understand human language?" What happened to our loving family?

"Uncle-Master, Chaochao's ex-boyfriend seems pretty powerful. She still likes him..." If he doesn't die, neither of us has a chance.

"So what? He's just an ex-boyfriend, that's in the past! He's just an ordinary mortal... Besides, I only couldn't control my love for Chaochao because of a curse. It's definitely not my true feeling..." Heaven knows how angry Mo Nanfeng was when he heard about his ex-boyfriend; he was almost driven mad with jealousy. He was trying his best to control his inner impulses.

Lin Chaoyan went straight back to her room to change her clothes, and then took all the storage bags out of her space, intending to have her two junior disciples untie them later.

Downstairs, Han Dong filled a large wooden bucket with water to keep the snails alive. He said it was best to keep the freshly caught snails alive for a few days before eating them, as they had too much mud and sand and needed to be kept alive for a few days to allow them to expel the mud.

Du Ming was in the living room. Hearing the noise, he knew that Lin Chaoyan had returned. He simply greeted her and continued to embroider.

Lin Chaoyan spoke up as she passed by, "Little Du, you need to rest after embroidering for so long, otherwise your eyes won't be able to take it. I have plenty of clothes; you need to practice your martial arts more, otherwise you won't be able to handle the people outside..."

Du Ming knew that Lin Chaoyan was concerned about him, and said with red eyes, "Master, I understand. I've only been embroidering for half an hour. This winter garment will be finished soon, and I will definitely practice my skills diligently."

He was busy making winter clothes for Lin Chaoyan. The fabric at this time of year wasn't very warm, and she wouldn't have worn it before. Now, she felt no emotion whatsoever from ordinary winter snow, and feeling it wouldn't be right to refuse Du Ming's good intentions, she accepted his offer.

In order to repay Du Ming, he forced him to practice martial arts and used various methods to pressure him.

After changing my clothes and going downstairs, I saw Qiu Shenji carrying a large bunch of lotus leaves.

"Beggar's chicken..." Lin Chaoyan's mouth watered!

"Yes! I'm going to make beggar's chicken. Little sister, don't get involved! Xiao Dong went to get the mud himself. Just watch from the side..." Qiu Shenji was preparing to make lotus leaf beggar's chicken, which would also put his fat chickens to good use.

"Oh!! Okay! I'll watch..." I've wanted to eat this for a long time. Before, Ah Zheng disagreed, saying that eating chicken was okay, but playing in the mud was not... What the hell is playing in the mud... After that, Lin Chaoyan forgot about it.

Qiu Shenji arrived at his breeding base and caught the three fattest ones. Then came the boiling water and plucking of feathers. Han Dong returned with some dirt and joined the plucking team.

"Old Qiu, why do we have beggar's chicken? Can you even eat it if it's made of mud?" Han Dong didn't know the origin of beggar's chicken, and he was very curious about why mud was used when he went to collect soil.

Lin Chaoyan opened her little head and began to explain to Han Dong. "Legend has it that when Zhu Yuanzhang was leading his troops to conquer the world, he suffered a defeat and had to flee. During his escape, he encountered a beggar making beggar's chicken. Zhu Yuanzhang praised it highly after eating it, believing that this uniquely flavored beggar's chicken would help the soldiers regain their morale, so he named it 'Wealthy Chicken'."

There are actually other versions, but the meaning is roughly the same: the main character is a beggar who makes chickens.

Beggar's Chicken, also known as Lotus Leaf Chicken, is a traditional dish from Shihuai, Jiangsu Province. The chicken is marinated, wrapped in lotus leaves, then covered with mud, and finally roasted over a fire. The dish is bright in color, fragrant, and has a unique flavor. "Scenic spots love to use this to rip people off; it's ridiculously expensive and not even as good as my grandfather's."

"Asagao seems to know everything..." Han Dong was a little embarrassed. Both Lin Chaoyan and Qiu Shenji were unconditionally tolerant of him, a person with zero life experience and zero common sense.

"Ha... what I've learned isn't anything serious, I'm nowhere near as good as you. I'd be lucky to even get into a top-tier university in the college entrance exam..." Goodness! I actually got praised for something like this...

"Why did you put so much chili in, Lao Qiu? Don't you prefer a milder flavor?" Han Dong couldn't help but remind him as he watched Qiu Shenji stuff the chicken with various spicy seasonings.

Qiu Shenji laughed heartily, "Little sister likes spicy food! Xiao Dong! I just prefer milder flavors, not that I can't eat spicy food..." Thinking about how this silly boy would have to venture out on his own in the future, Qiu Shenji couldn't help but start to worry about him.

"Xiao Dong, my sister is averse to alcohol, so we can't use cooking wine. Without these seasonings, the beggar's chicken won't be able to get rid of the fishy smell and get the flavor. These chickens need to marinate for a while, let's go make some mud..." Not being able to touch alcohol is a troublesome thing, we need to be careful not to be taken advantage of in the future.

"Oh right! I completely forgot about that..." Han Dong said, patting his head.

Lin Chaoyan was deeply moved to see her two older brothers so considerate of her. Suddenly, she felt that this peaceful and serene feeling was quite nice.

Lin Chaoyan immediately went to get lotus leaves and wrapped the three chickens in them. She even wrapped them in several layers to prevent them from breaking.

Next, Qiu Shenji and Han Dong began to cover the lotus leaves with the mixed soil, and soon an oval-shaped soil ball larger than an olive tree appeared in their hands.
