Chapter 133: [132] This Daughter Was Raised in Vain

Fifteenth Middle School.

Classroom.

Cheng Han lightly turned his pencil, his thoughts swirling in his mind.

"The 'Blazing Threads' derived from the residual flames of True Flame performed better in actual combat than I imagined.

"This monster fish called 'Lingtou' is known for its scales as tough as steel, but it couldn't withstand the Blazing Threads and was easily cut into three slices of sashimi.

"And this is only using the extraordinary combat technique remotely with the help of the black cat's claws, with only thirty percent of its power.

"If I were to personally use it, even facing the special armor on the Black Armor Army soldiers, I could effortlessly cut through ten of them with a whip."

A smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Han's mouth.

Qian Qingqing stole a glance at her desk mate and blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.

"What are you smiling about?"

The exam!

Cheng Han continued to let his thoughts wander.

"The 'Cerebrospinal Fluid' extracted from Lingtou's brain and spine is a widely used extraordinary material that can serve as an auxiliary material for preparing first-grade secret medicine.

"The scales and bones of this thing are very hard, but lighter than wood, making it a good armor material.

"Lingtou's fish meat and internal organs generally contain trace amounts of special toxins, but as long as they are removed with an antidote, they can be considered good extraordinary ingredients.

"It is well known that long-term consumption of extraordinary ingredients not only makes the body healthier than ordinary people, but also extends lifespan to some extent. In short, there are many benefits.

"And in the circle of the wealthy, there are many people who privately prepare secret medicine, and even more people who like extraordinary ingredients. It's not difficult to sell them.

"But if I were to do this myself, it would attract too much attention and lack the appropriate sales channels. The most suitable method is to find an agent..."

When Cheng Han thought of this, he quickly glanced at Qian Qingqing.

Isn't the little girl the perfect candidate?

Her parents have been in business for many years and have a wide network of contacts.

Most of the friends her family usually interacts with are people from the wealthy circle, and what they lack the least is glittering gold coins.

That's settled!

Qian Qingqing noticed the gaze from her desk mate and returned a puzzled look.

Cheng Han held the pencil and quickly wrote a line on the table - "After school this afternoon, I'll take you to a place."

Just a Lingtou, no need to hide or conceal.

Qian Qingqing nodded gently, a blush appearing on her fair and pretty face.

From her reaction, it seemed that she took it as a date.

After thinking for a moment, the little girl also wrote a line: "Which question do you not know how to do?"

Cheng Han sighed helplessly.

I really don't need to cheat!

Not far away.

A proctor secretly glanced at the actions of the two and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they cheated!

It wasn't in vain that we acted for so long!

*

Beside the ice lake.

With the strength of a cat, the black cat used the cat-tail fishing method to catch hundreds of fish.

Then.

Under the command of the sheriff, its army of cats gathered once again.

The cat group somehow managed to get a small sled from somewhere. They dragged the frozen fish onto the sled and collectively pulled it towards the city.

It turns out that not only dogs can pull sleds.

Cats can too!

Due to the black cat's stealth ability, the cat group openly used the sled to transport the fish without worrying about being discovered by humans.

After making two trips back and forth, the transportation work was done.

Until now.

The black cat looked at the fish filling the courtyard, weighing no less than five hundred catties, and realized something.

Even if the whole family ate fish every day, it would take at least a month to consume it all. This cat suddenly realized that it had caught too many!

It glanced in the direction of the animal shed and let out a soft meow.

"Meow~"

Decision made!

From now on, Guagua will eat two more fish every day!

The so-called "Guagua" is the name of the feathered beast.

*

After school.

Cheng Han, accompanied by a little girl, went straight to the school's animal shed.

The use of the animal shed is not free. A fee of thirty copper coins must be paid every day. This is not arbitrary charging, as the school employs animal trainers to take care of the feathered beasts.

In fact.

The cost of simply purchasing a feathered beast is not too expensive. Many commoner families can save up this amount of money in a few years by scrimping and saving.

But the cost of raising and caring for a feathered beast is quite high. When all the expenses are added up, it is equivalent to the living expenses of three adults.

"Ang! Ang!"

The calls of the feathered beasts echoed one after another.

A middle-aged animal trainer hurriedly approached. "Chief Cheng, do you want to use a feathered beast?"

Cheng Han nodded. "Yes."

The animal trainer immediately said, "I'll go and bring out your feathered beast."

Cheng Han shook his head. "No need."

The middle-aged animal trainer was taken aback.

You want to use a feathered beast, but you don't want me to bring it out? Are you teasing me?

Cheng Han smiled slightly and blew a loud whistle.

"Hush!"

A feathered beast responded loudly.

"Ang!"

The animal trainer instinctively turned his head and immediately saw a surprising scene.

A feathered beast with a beautiful lake blue ribbon tied around its neck lifted one wing to reveal its claw and, with extremely agile movements, unlocked the latch on the wooden post.

This fellow is naturally "Guagua," and the ribbon on its neck is the mark left by the little girl.

The middle-aged animal trainer was dumbfounded.

Has this feathered beast become sentient?

You see, the average intelligence of a feathered beast is not as good as that of a spirit hound, and the latch is quite complex. Ordinary feathered beasts definitely don't have the ability to unlock it.

Guagua then showed its considerate side.

It used its claw to grab the latch, skillfully coiled the rope, and stuffed it back into the nearby wooden box.

The surrounding feathered beasts were all stunned.

The middle-aged animal trainer was almost petrified.

In all his years in this profession, this was the first time he had seen something like this.

Does this kind of feathered beast need someone to take care of it?

I'm afraid it will end up taking care of the animal trainer instead!

"Ang!"

Guagua called out again, spreading its wings and vigorously flapping them.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The air currents whistled.

Guagua exerted force and easily jumped over the fence of the animal shed, landing outside.

This is not surprising.

Feathered beasts have short-distance flying abilities when "unloaded."

The middle-aged animal trainer still had a dumbfounded expression.

Qian Qingqing, however, was not surprised. She had witnessed her desk mate's extraordinary beast-taming skills a few days ago, which had already shocked her.

"Bang! Bang!"

Guagua trotted over to its owner with heavy footsteps.

Cheng Han glanced at the messy beast shed and instructed, "Your wing-flapping wind is too strong. From now on, use the main entrance and don't jump out again, understood?"

"Ang!"

Guagua obediently responded.

This rare feathered beast had a high level of intelligence after Cheng Han used the Spirit Control Seal on it only a few times.

Originally, he had planned to hire a beast caretaker, but after modifying Guagua and confirming its intelligence, he decisively gave up on that idea.

Does a proper feathered beast need someone else to take care of it?

Cheng Han looked at the middle-aged beast caretaker and politely apologized, "Sorry for messing up the beast shed."

The middle-aged beast caretaker swallowed his saliva and quickly said, "It's okay."

Qian Qingqing lightly tugged on a ribbon, her beautiful eyes smiling, "Guagua!"

This seemingly silly name was also thought up by a little girl, and this feathered beast happened to like it very much.

Guagua cleverly crouched down.

Cheng Han grabbed the little girl's arm, lightly kicked the ground with his right foot, and the two floated up like flowing clouds, landing lightly on the saddle.

The Ascending Magpie Stance!

This set of movements was as natural as breathing and drinking water. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this was the level achieved by reaching the pinnacle of practice.

"Ang!"

Guagua let out a cry and carried the boy and girl, rushing out like a gust of wind.

*

Five minutes later.

Guagua strode towards a small river nearly eight meters wide.

This was the Qinglin City's water diversion channel, mainly used for daily drinking water and irrigation.

There was a two-meter-high metal fence by the river to prevent mutated water plants from dragging people into the water.

Qian Qingqing saw this scene and let out a scream.

"Ah~"

Cheng Han, without thinking, reached out and covered the little girl's red lips.

Her face instantly turned red.

But she didn't use her hand to block him, nor did she try to remove his hand.

The atmosphere instantly became romantic.

The next moment, Qian Qingqing heard her desk mate shout.

"Jump!"

Then.

Guagua leaped high from a position ten meters away from the riverbank.

The little girl had the urge to scream again.

She knew that a feathered beast, without carrying anyone, could only jump a maximum of ten meters with the help of a run-up and its wings.

And there was a tall fence ahead, and Guagua was carrying two people. Even if it miraculously jumped over the fence, it would probably fall into the river.

However.

Things were very different from what the little girl had imagined.

She felt that Guagua seemed to have lost its weight, gliding through the air for a distance of over forty meters.

It crossed the fence, skimmed over the water channel, and flew for more than ten meters before landing steadily on the road.

"Ang!"

This was Guagua's excited cry.

It loved this feeling.

Several passersby happened to witness this scene and were all dumbfounded.

The little girl snapped back to reality and asked, "Did you use the Ascending Magpie Stance, right?"

Cheng Han smiled and replied, "Smart!"

After continuous deduction, his research on the Deng Que style had already surpassed the level of a warrior. Not only could he use it himself, but he could also use it on a mount.

Qian Qingqing was still in shock and said, "It's impressive, but it's also terrifying."

Cheng Han reached out and held her hand, saying, "Let's go straight out of the city, so we don't have to take a detour."

The curfew time was approaching, so they had to hurry.

"Ah~"

Qian Qingqing screamed again.

Because they were holding hands, she felt a bit flustered.

This double stimulation made the young girl feel slightly dizzy.

"Up!"

Guagua excitedly chirped again.

It leaped high and flew in a larger arc, crossing over a forest.

*

Just a short moment later.

Guagua arrived by the side of an ice lake.

If they had taken the normal route, it would have taken at least half an hour.

This was equivalent to cutting the time in half.

Qian Qingqing covered her pounding chest and complained, "Riding your feathered beast is really terrifying."

"Up!"

Guagua had a different opinion.

Soon, Qian Qingqing's expression of fear turned into surprise.

Because the young girl saw the corpse of a Lingtu.

She cleverly didn't ask for the reason, but instead tentatively asked, "Do you want my family's help?"

She wasn't stupid. The moment she saw the corpse, she guessed the purpose of her desk mate.

Cheng Han shook his head and corrected her, "Not your family, but you!"

Extraordinary creatures were a precious resource, and the allocation of resources represented a kind of power.

Giving the power to Qian Yiqing was completely different from giving it to Qian Qingqing.

Qian Qingqing instantly understood his meaning. She didn't object, but instead nodded excitedly, "Okay!"

*

That night.

Qian Yiqing personally led a group of people to bring the Lingtu back to their family's chamber of commerce.

He circled around the corpse several times, looked at his daughter, and asked with a hint of envy, "Qingqing, do you want me to help you sell the materials?"

Qian Qingqing firmly shook her head, "No, you can just provide suggestions. I'll make the decisions myself!"

The implication was that she wanted to use the family's channels, but this was Cheng Han's matter, and she had to keep an eye on it.

Qian Yiqing clicked his tongue and felt bitter in his heart.

He always knew how to take advantage of every opportunity.

What a waste!

*

In the bedroom at night.

Qian Yiqing complained to his wife about this matter, saying, "Qingqing only has Cheng Han in her eyes. She doesn't even care about her own father."

Qian's wife gave her husband a disdainful look, "You, you're so short-sighted, only thinking about immediate small benefits."

Qian Yiqing retorted, "I work hard to earn money, isn't it for the sake of this family?"

Qian's wife snorted, "When Qingqing marries Cheng Han in the future, you'll have a talented son-in-law. Do you still worry about your business not going smoothly?"

Qian Yiqing was stunned for a moment, "That's true!"

Qian's wife warned, "Don't cause trouble for Qingqing. Whatever Qingqing wants, you should provide it with all your might."

Qian Yiqing nodded repeatedly, "I understand the importance."
