Chapter 168: Briefly Becoming A Little Qilin
As night fell, Qin Wanwan eagerly checked her Merit Points.
“Keke, hurry up and look, it’s already twenty thousand!”
Keke landed on her shoulder: “Not bad, not bad, cub, you’re amazing. How long have we been in the mortal realm, and you’ve already earned so many Merit Points.”
Qin Wanwan smiled, her eyes curving, and happily rolled on the bed.
When she flapped about, her hair became messy and frizzy.
“It’s all thanks to Keke, and the Mall given by the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, Wanwan wouldn’t have earned so many Merit Points.”
The well-behaved little cub, with her milky voice, thanked both Keke and the Heavenly Dao.
“Cub, you worked hard yourself too.”
The two little ones exchanged compliments.
Qin Wanwan looked again to see what new items had appeared in the Mall this time.
“What is this?”
She pointed with her little chubby finger at the illuminated picture. It wasn’t a Skill Book, nor anything edible, just a piece of paper.
Keke’s eyes lit up as he looked: “Isn’t this exactly what we need? This is the blueprint for a heated bed, and this is the blueprint for a Jenny spinning machine.”
Wool can also be used to weave cloth, but to weave very fine fabric, the process is quite complicated. However, the spinning speed of this machine is several times faster than the current weaving machines.”
“You, Father Xie, have many people to support. Not only do they need to eat enough, but they also need to stay warm. By the time the Imperial Court issues warm clothes, who knows how long it will take, and they might even cut corners. However, this appeared a bit late. To weave cloth now, you still need to build machines.”
Qin Wanwan instantly clenched her little fists.
“My father is too pathetic!”
Keke comforted her: “Your Father Xie is much better now. After seizing so much silver from the bandits, he at least doesn’t lack food, and his equipment has also improved a lot.”
“Speaking of which, it seems like it was this year that your father’s army’s military pay was stolen.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes widened: “Who stole it?!”
“On the surface, it was the Second Prince. In reality, it was that old schemer, the Third Prince, causing trouble from behind. The Second Prince’s men disguised themselves as bandits and stole the resources. Later, it was traced back to the Second Prince, but the Third Prince had already transferred those resources, so in the end, they weren’t found, nor was he implicated.”
Qin Wanwan was furious. How could he be everywhere!
“I can’t let Father Xie’s things be snatched away!” The little Qilin’s big eyes sparkled with fierce fire.
“It’s still early. Your Father Xie’s military pay is set to depart in a few days. The Imperial Court is always so slow with its affairs.”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore. Use your Merit Points first and see what changes occur.”
Qin Wanwan nodded.
Keke watched as a ball of golden light entered Qin Wanwan’s body, and she fell into a deep sleep. After covering the little one with a quilt, Keke couldn’t help but glance at the sky.
Tsk tsk… The Heavenly Dao is really going easy on this little Qilin.
Twenty thousand Merit Points are not easily obtained.
Normally, helping one person earns one Merit Point.
Qin Wanwan is still so young; how many people has she helped?
Yet, every time, the Heavenly Dao gives so many Merit Points.
This is a way to make up for the Merit Points the Qilin’s father had stored with the Heavenly Dao.
The Merit Points from the three fathers who were found were also gradually transferring to Qin Wanwan.
However, the little Qilin was too foolish to notice the problem.
Shang Wuyang walked into the room and frowned slightly upon seeing Qin Wanwan, who had already fallen into a deep sleep.
“What’s wrong with her?”
He asked Keke this question.
Keke replied: “It’s a good thing. The cub is using Merit Points to repair her congenital deficiency.”
Shang Wuyang touched her forehead and found that the little one’s breathing was even; she was just asleep.
Keke flew up: “I’m leaving. She should wake up a bit later tomorrow.”
Shang Wuyang nodded. After Keke flew away, he closed the doors and windows, picked up the little fatty cub, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Qin Wanwan indeed woke up late, just as Keke had said.
The first thing Shang Wuyang did upon opening his eyes was to look for his little fatty cub.
The bed was very warm, but there was no one there. The little bulge was much smaller than usual.
He lifted the quilt and saw a beautiful and cute little creature curled up obediently, sleeping.
The reason it was a single creature was because… she was no longer human.
Shang Wuyang was stunned for a moment, his fingers unconsciously stroking the little thing. It felt like a connection from the depths of his soul, making his heart soften with heartache.
At this moment, Qin Wanwan had completely transformed into the appearance of a little Qilin.
She had soft fur interwoven with pale blue and white, a large, fluffy, long tail that seemed like clouds drifting in the wind, and two lustrous, cute little horns on her forehead, resembling a deer or a dragon. She was tiny, only about the size of an adult cat.
“So good.”
Shang Wuyang’s heart filled with love, and he held the little creature in his arms.
The little Qilin rolled around in her Daddy’s embrace and opened her eyes groggily.
They were a pair of beautiful, pale purple eyes, large and bright.
They were somewhat similar to Shang Wuyang’s purple eyes.
“Daddy?”
The little Qilin yawned, her pink little tongue showing.
She hadn’t yet realized her current situation and nuzzled into Shang Wuyang’s embrace.
The next second, she transformed into a chubby baby.
She had turned back into her human form.
Shang Wuyang felt a bit regretful. He wanted to look at the little Qilin’s appearance for a while longer.
However, this was also good. He was worried about what would happen if the little one couldn’t change back and how he would take her out to see people.
The Qilin’s appearance suggested she was no ordinary beast; taking her out would surely lead to her being coveted.
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Qin Wanwan shook her head against his chest.
“No, Wanwan feels warm and super comfortable.”
Merit Points are truly a good thing.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes widened, and she was full of energy.
“Daddy, I feel super strong right now.”
She could defeat three of her previous selves.
She raised her little arms: “Next time I meet a bad guy, I’ll bite him to death!”
Feeling full of strength, the little Qilin’s confidence soared, and she flailed her limbs, fiercely cute.
Shang Wuyang raised an eyebrow: “Oh really?”
Then he picked up the little fatty cub with one hand.
“Super strong little fatty cub, I can lift you with one hand now. What can your little teeth do? You’ll break your own baby teeth before you even bite someone.”
Qin Wanwan: …………
You shouldn’t discourage your own daughter like that!
Humph!
The little fatty cub got angry, hugging her chubby arms and turning away from him, her whole body screaming ‘I’m angry, you need to coax me!’
The corner of Shang Wuyang’s mouth turned up: “What do you want to eat today?”
Qin Wanwan said in a milky voice: “I’m not that easy to coax!”
“Let’s go see a play. Didn’t you want to know about Lin Wan’e’s situation?”
Qin Wanwan immediately turned her head and pounced into his embrace.
“Daddy, when are we going?”
“What’s the rush? We’ll go after we eat.”
The father and daughter changed their clothes, tidied themselves up, and went out.
Qin Wanwan wasn’t afraid of the cold at all now and wore less than before.
But Shang Wuyang still liked to dress her in fluffy clothes.
Shang Wuyang had intended to put her in a Qilin outfit today, but after seeing the little fatty cub’s true Qilin form, he felt the outfit looked cheap no matter how he looked at it.
It couldn’t compare to the little Qilin cub’s appearance by even a fraction.
It was better to wear the little cat outfit.
Then Shang Wuyang went out carrying the little cat Qin Wanwan.
