"No... I thought I was about to crash into something, I'm sorry," Qin Jing said embarrassedly. He had done something embarrassing again, thinking he was being presumptuous.

"Are you worried about me? Haha, what a cute child. It's alright, I'm a fairy who has trained, after all, and everyone here knows to watch out for wheels." Mrs. Totoro said with a laugh.

"Ah! Are you a student at Hourai Academy? Which district are you in?" Aunt Hippo asked curiously.

“Ah, yes, in the elementary school district,” Qin Jing replied.

"Wow, you're so young, yet your transformation is already so complete. You look just like a human."

"Yes, if there's one flaw, it's that you're too perfect. Humans don't have children as beautiful as you."

"Haha..." Qin Jing replied with a dry laugh.

"Yes, my child will only grow bigger and smaller."

"My stupid son is just like that, all he thinks about is writing, or what's that popular light novel over there? There are hardly any demons here who would read that."

"I think it will grow bigger, and those who work hard at writing are especially promising! I still have to go buy groceries, goodbye to you two aunties!" Qin Jing quickly slipped away.

"Oh, it ran away, what a shy child."

"He's so cute! I wonder what his true form is? He seems so delicate."

"Could it be that they are actually the humans who were brought here by the legendary fox sage?"

"Haha, you're so funny. Humans are even rarer than pandas, they'd definitely be kept in captivity and closely protected, how could you possibly see them in a supermarket?"

"That's true, haha."

Mrs. Hippo and Mrs. Totoro laughed in unison.

Meanwhile, Qin Jing, who had slipped away, pushed the shopping cart and began purchasing food.

First, we arrived at the fruit and vegetable section.

There were many kinds of fruits that Qin Jing had never seen before, especially the fruits at the stall that said "Imported from Another World." Some of them looked strange, some were crystal clear and as hard as diamonds, and some were colorful like a rainbow. Qin Jing walked forward curiously.

For example, there are fruits that look like babies in swaddling clothes, with descriptions attached below.

"A ginseng fruit that was supposedly watered with baby's blood a thousand years ago? A blood-sucking plant with great tonic." Qin Jing picked one up and looked at it. She found a sticker of the character "福" (fortune) on the bottom. Because it wasn't pasted properly, the sticker had fallen off, and she found a hole where insects had crawled through.

Qin Jing narrowed her eyes speechlessly and silently put it back. This place really was no different from a shop in the human world.

There's a fruit that looks like a miniature moon, called the Moon Fruit. Eating it allows you to see a full moon in your mind. It's marked in red with the warning: 'Werewolves and monkeys with uncut tails should not eat it!'

There's also a special counter here displaying incredibly expensive fruits, some costing as much as Qin Jing's monthly living expenses. And these fruits look completely different; some she'd never seen before, others resembled bananas, pineapples, and apples, yet they were all placed on the same stall and labeled with the same name.

The instructions say, "Legend has it that eating one will grant you amazing abilities. Note: You can only eat one; eating too many will cause you to explode. Side effects are..."

"What? You can't go swimming after eating this? Does that mean you can't go swimming in the summer? Who would buy it with such a troublesome side effect? ​​Besides, it looks awful." Qin Jing casually put the fruit back, obediently walked to the stall marked as the entrance to the human world, picked up a bag of apples, and turned to go to another area.

.............

The local produce is incredibly diverse. Qin Jing even saw the legendary Eight Delicacies: orangutan lips made from dried meat from the face of a deer, leopard placenta, lion milk, elephant trunk, and so on.

Qin Jing swallowed hard. Although she wanted to buy a pound of each to try, she reminded herself to resist the temptation before figuring out whether the food was poisonous to humans. Her desire to buy a computer or go to the library to look up information was growing stronger.

Section 69, Part 4: The athletic girl is named Wangzi.

Wandering among the shelves, dodging the monsters and beasts, she found a wealth of specialties from various worlds, even countless kinds of spices. Among them, the popular Wise Wolf brand caught her eye. However, remembering that there was a fox at home waiting for her to eat, she had to hurry. So, ignoring all the unfamiliar things, she headed to the section for imported goods from the human world. After half an hour, Qin Jing finally bought all kinds of food ingredients and seasonings.

He bought fish, beef, a few bottles of seasoning, and a small bag of vegetables. Finally, Qin Jing picked up a box of inari sushi and put it in her shopping basket before heading to the checkout counter.

Qin Jing noticed that there were only a few cash registers with waiters, but there were more than ten rows of unmanned service counters. As long as you put the money into the cash box, you can put it in your own bag. Therefore, even if there are many customers, you don't have to wait in line for too long.

However, not all fairies pay with currency. Qin Jing saw a pale-skinned gentleman dressed as a medieval nobleman drop a gold coin into a box on the other side, and then leave with a bottle of red wine.

But then he saw several otters throw a few brightly colored seashells into a box, and then walk away with several bags of clams and crabs.

Finally, it was Qin Jing's turn at the checkout. The cashier was a friendly monster who looked like a Labrador. Qin Jing took out her student ID, swiped her card to pay, picked up the two bags of food, and walked out of the supermarket.

It was nearly dusk outside, but the supermarket was still bustling with customers. Having spent the whole afternoon there was probably equivalent to visiting several zoos, although, as expected, no pandas were seen here.

Carrying two large bags, she walked back to the slope and went straight up. Although it wasn't particularly steep, she felt exhausted and stopped there, panting heavily.

Qin Jing had already calculated the weight of the food, which was just enough for about three days. If he were alone, it would last even longer. But in the end, he overestimated himself. Each item wasn't too heavy on its own, but when all of them were added together, it became a burden. He had indeed bought too much...

He could lift these things, but he couldn't walk for long while carrying them; he had to rest every hundred meters or so up the slope.

Qin Jing put the bag on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and rested for a while.

In the distance, a brown-haired girl with a single ponytail, wearing sportswear and athletic shorts, was jogging. Suddenly, she stopped.

"Ah! This smells like my older sister! My older sister!"

Qin Jing looked up and saw the sporty girl with a ponytail shouting loudly in the distance, then running quickly toward him.

"Huh? Who are you?" The girl with brown hair and a ponytail who had run up stopped a few steps away, staring at Qin Jing with her big, round eyes and asking.

"That's what I should be asking," Qin Jing said speechlessly. Was this a new way to pick up girls? But he had plenty of experience in this area, having been approached by older sisters of high school and college students before, so he wasn't falling for it anymore.

The girl leaned close to Qin Jing's chin, her nose twitching as she inhaled and smelled the aroma.

"Sniff... You really do smell like Big Sister! And the scent is so fresh and strong!"

The girl sniffed and moved closer, finally fixing her nose on Qin Jing's mouth. She instantly recoiled, her face flushed, pointed at Jing, and excitedly asked:

"Why...why do you have Big Sister's saliva on your lips?! You licked Big Sister! Are you Big Sister's...boyfriend?!"

"But why? You're clearly a weakling who can't even lift two small bags!"

"My older sister said she would only be attracted to males stronger than herself, right?"

"Tell me who you are! Are you an enemy of the Wolf God Martial Arts Academy?!"

The girl bent over and peered out, assuming a fighting stance, grinding her teeth and making a 'whoosh' defiant sound.

"No, no, I have no fighting ability at all, and I'm just a little brother that Sister Momo took in..." Qin Jing waved her hands and denied it. She really couldn't imagine being with a woman who was licking someone's face with saliva. Besides, they were already in a sibling relationship, so how could they possibly be in a romantic relationship?

"I see!" Upon hearing Qin Jing's words, the girl looked enlightened, and two dog ears sprouted from her head. She gave Qin Jing a bright, kind, and innocent smile.

"I am Wangzi from Wolf God Academy, and I am the adopted sister of my elder sister! Please take care of me, little brother!"

"Ah, nice to meet you, I'm Qin Jing."

The dog-eared girl named Wangzi changed her attitude completely, wagging her tail affectionately. She came forward and picked up the two bags of groceries from the ground, saying, "Xiaojing! Let Sister Wangzi help you carry the bags."

Qin Jing sized up the girl. She couldn't tell how strong the girl was, but seeing how easily she lifted the ingredients, she was definitely several times stronger than herself, so she accepted it.

"Thank you, Wangzi."

"Hehe, ever since I was brought back to the Wolf God Academy by my older sister, I've always been the youngest. I never thought I'd suddenly become the older sister. Hehe, Sister Wangzi, you're really great!" Wangzi carried the two bags effortlessly, skipping and hopping ahead, her tail wagging happily back and forth behind her.

'No... I never said I was going to call you 'sister'... You're the one who's acting like a little brat.' Qin Jing thought to himself as he walked behind, but he planned to say those words when they got to the dormitory entrance.

"By the way, Xiaojing, which dormitory do you live in?" Wangzi asked.

“The one that says 'human',” Qin Jing replied.

"Humans? Humans! The legendary humans?!" Wang Zi rushed to Jing's side and asked excitedly.

"Although there are billions of them in the world, so it's not really a legend, I am indeed human," Qin Jing said.

"Wow! That's amazing! Xiao Jing is actually human! Wangzi's little brother is actually human!" Wangzi jumped up excitedly.

"Let's go back to the dorm first!" Qin Jing really didn't understand why the other person was suddenly so excited, as if they had seen a panda.

“Okay! Xiaojing, humans are supposedly delicate and fragile. They can die if they catch a cold. Even if you take good care of them, they are rare creatures that can only live to be 120 years old! Remember to tell your sister if anything happens in the future. Leave all the physical work to me!” Wangzi patted his chest and said.

'120 years old? ...Actually, if a person can live healthily and without illness to the age of 80, that's about right, isn't it?' Hearing this, Qin Jing couldn't help but start thinking wildly again.

Living too long isn't necessarily a good thing. Ultimately, by then, you can't even imagine what you'll be able to do. If you're all alone, it's practically exile. Imagine, 100 years from now, every household has a spaceship, everyone keeps a panda, and Earthlings have lost interest in entertainment; their only interest is exploring the universe. One Piece and Detective Conan ended because the authors couldn't keep up with the drawing, leaving no more anime to follow.

Kids these days are born with IQs over 200, spending all their time pondering the secrets of the universe's origin. They have no interest in playing those mindless, pay-to-win games.

With an IQ 100 points lower than average, you're practically a third-degree cripple. You can't even figure out how to operate a supercomputer, let alone expect anyone to be willing to play with you.

Human organs have evolved towards a neutral state, with no distinction between male and female. Reproduction relies on in-vitro fertilization, with machines replacing pregnancy.

All the work has been handed over to artificial intelligence, while people are focused on the stars and the sea.

What is "cute"? Modern people can no longer understand it.

What a terrifying future.

What's the point of living a long time if you're a primitive person who's long out of touch with the times?

Lost in thought, Qin Jing chatted back and forth with Wang Zi, who wanted to be her older sister, as they returned to the dormitory building entrance marked with the awkward word "Human".

"Is this the place? Xiaojing, are you really the only one living here?" Wangzi asked, looking around the human dormitory building.

"Yes, but there's a guest inside. Please come in." Qin Jing unlocked the door and invited the girl in.

"Wow! It's so spacious!" Wangzi, carrying the groceries, wagged his tail and walked inside with a grin.

'I always felt this girl was just a naive and innocent little devil, so easy to fool. She actually went home with someone she just met. What if she's a con artist? But are all fairies like this? Well, it seems like going to school tomorrow won't be a big deal...' Thinking this, Qin Jing closed the door.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Su Jiu with a mocking expression.

"Xiao Jing! You've got some skills! You went to the supermarket and brought back a girl! Are you really that cold-hearted? Did you abandon her?" Su Jiu, who seemed to be up to something, flirted and looked at Qin Jing with a resentful expression, as if she wanted to start a battle.

However, she had the wrong target; Wang Zi was just an innocent and naive underage girl.

"Ah! Sage! Greetings!" Wang Zi put down the ingredients and bowed.

"Hey, aren't you the little dog from the Wolf God Academy?" Su Jiu, who hadn't achieved the desired effect, recognized the person who had come.

"She brought the ingredients back for me," Qin Jing said, carrying the ingredients into the kitchen.

"Wangzi is Xiaojing's older sister, so it's only natural for an older sister to take care of her younger brother," Wangzi said with a smile.

"Hey? Wangzi, you're in the elementary school district, right? What grade are you in now?" Su Jiu asked.

"She's a sixth-grade big sister!" Wang Zi replied proudly.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Xiaojing is also a sixth grader." Su Jiu looked at Qin Jing with a puzzled expression, blinked, and seemed to want to start another argument.

"Hey! Xiao Jing is so weak, I thought he was still a first-year student," Wang Zi said in surprise.

“Yes, Xiao Jing is very weak, Sister Wang Zi, you have to protect him well,” Su Jiu said with a smile.

"Ah, I know, from now on, let Sister Wangzi protect Little Jing." Wangzi agreed with a hearty laugh.

"But Xiaojing doesn't seem to be convinced either, what should we do, Sister Wangzi?" Su Jiu continued to stir things up.

"Huh? Why? I know, if Xiao Jing is being naughty, I'll teach him a lesson! I have teeth!" Wang Zi bared his sharp canines and replied.

"..." Qin Jing silently made up her mind as she walked towards the kitchen, 'It seems I must establish the superior-subordinate relationship as soon as possible!'

It is said that wolves and dogs are creatures with a clear hierarchy. Once the position of alpha wolf is determined, the other wolves, as subordinates, must unconditionally obey orders, or they will be expelled from the pack.

Section 71.6 The Origins of Penglai Continent

"What a lively and energetic little dog! I never expected that after being adopted by that fierce Wolf God Martial Arts Academy, she could still be so innocent and cute. But she has set goals that are not in line with her own abilities," Su Jiu said with a sigh.

"Hmm..." Qin Jing nodded.

"Why didn't you tell her earlier? You know what I mean, right? Whether you're a human or a demon, if you can't see yourself clearly and set your goals and desires too high, the result is often disastrous," Su Jiu asked.

Qin Jing pondered for a moment, then said, "I believe that if you have a clear goal and are consistently working towards it, then it's not wrong."

"Even if that goal can never be achieved? Even if all the efforts will be in vain? Xiao Jing, you really are a cruel human being at heart." Su Jiu covered half of her face with her fan and said with a smile.

"One's happiness is not determined by fate or talent; it is something one pursues. Even if the desired outcome is not achieved, even if one ultimately fails, the process itself is invaluable. One will definitely learn many precious things from it. There are definitely landscapes that can only be seen by persevering to the very end."

Hearing Qin Jing say this, Su Jiu smiled and didn't pursue the matter further. "If the child were by your side, perhaps a miracle could happen."

Su Jiu continued, "It's rare to hear such positive words from someone as pessimistic and passive as you. So let me tell you about another thing that only a fool would believe in and do, which is also related to the origin of this world."

"The origin of the Penglai world?"

Su Jiu began to recount ancient tales.

That was the ancient era before humans appeared. Monsters, elves, spirit beasts, ferocious beasts, and all the gods and demons in the world—all the legendary beings in the minds of humans—plundered resources through battles of the survival of the fittest to demonstrate their power and obtain territory commensurate with their strength.

At that time, these powerful beings were really just stronger beasts, only knowing how to fight and fight endlessly. At first, the dragon wanted to occupy the sea, and then wanted the sky and the earth, and control over all the resources in the world.

However, the phoenix led the birds to fight against it, vying for territory, while the leader of the beasts, the Qilin, was also drawn into the battle. The three forces fought continuously, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, and the blood that flowed stained the ocean red.

The leaders of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans were all dead, and the three clans were nearly wiped out, with many powerful and ferocious beings perishing as a result. The fairies began to realize the problem and went into seclusion or escaped to other worlds.

However, resources are ultimately limited. In order to ensure the continuation of future generations, the older generation must die. No one has found a way to change the survival of each race; they simply continue to exist in the same way, day after day, for millions of years.

Then a monkey stepped forward and said that he wanted to merge with the essence of all races and create a new race.
