Chapter 121

~8 min read 1,557 words

The teleportation location was at the Ministry of Revenue, and also the Ministry of Works.

The people from the Qin Yan Hou Fu went to the Ministry of Revenue. Many families went to collect things, and some went for cultivation training. Because they had to collect things, some families even brought ordinary people.

The teleportation site was a Beast Realm small space without a grade, larger than Great Yan and Rong Di combined, with a vast area. Some family heads frowned, while those who didn't understand the situation were just excited.

The Ministry of Revenue also had a team with the goal of collecting things.

Rong Juan got off the carriage and walked toward the Ministry of Revenue office. Qin Xun and Qin Lang came over to pick up Qin Bi and Rong Yang. Rong Yan also followed. Qin Lang took Rong Yang from Lin Yao's arms.

"Third Uncle is over there." Qin Xun pointed to the Qin Yan Hou Fu's team and said to Qin Bi: "Let's go over and assemble."

Qin Bi nodded, and Lin Yao protected Qin Bi as they went to Qin Tan's team.

The team Qin Tan led had thirty people, including secondary sons from the Third and Fourth Branches, as well as twenty guards and servants. In terms of collecting things, the young masters and misses of the Marquis Manor couldn't compare to the servants and guards.

Rong Yang's eyes couldn't take it all in; his dark, round eyes were very bright.

Qin Bi blinked. She wasn't like him; she was terrified when she went out.

Qin Tan counted the number of people and led the team into the teleportation array. On the other side, Qin He was dressed as a fairy, looking very delicate and pretty, and many noble sons looked at her more than once.

The Xue Prince's Manor also had to collect things. Qin He and Xue Qing both went to the Beast Realm's small space.

Qin He counted the number of people. In their team, besides servants and guards, almost everyone was young. Qin Yan and Qin Cui helped Qin He. At this time, almost everyone in each family who could speak and act was a family genius.

Especially in several major cultivation families, the gentle and elegant women looked like fairies from the Immortal Sect out for training.

This was just going to the Beast Realm to collect things; some outstanding family members didn't have to follow. Otherwise, the handsome men and beautiful women of cultivation would make people's eyes light up. Qin Bi wore a tender yellow dress; if one's gaze didn't fall on her, no one would think she was stunning.

Everyone arrived in the teleportation array. Qin Bi tugged on Qin Lang's sleeve. Qin Lang was holding Rong Yang; the child was still small and absolutely could not leave Qin Bi's sight, but she was pregnant and couldn't hold Rong Yang well.

Lin Yao stood beside Qin Bi and Qin Lang, not leaving an inch. The Rong Heir Apparent was cursed to lose wives and have no children, but the Heir Apparent's wife and the little Heir Apparent were the apple of the Rong Heir Apparent's eye. If there was any mishap, he wouldn't need to return.

The Minister of Revenue stood out: "Teleportation begins."

As the Minister of Revenue's words fell, the teleportation array began to teleport. Qin Bi only felt a blur, and her feet landed on solid ground. Before her was a desolate area, with sparse trees and a scene of drought.

Qin Bi's bright eyes froze. It was not much different from the first Beast Realm small space she had visited, with the same sparse plants. What were they supposed to collect here? They wouldn't be plucking small shrubs, would they?!

Qin Di also seemed to be stunned for a moment. It wasn't his first time coming to a Beast Realm small space; there had been a few times when the Marquis Manor collected things, and Qin Di had followed the Marquis to the Beast Realm's small space.

"This location," Qin Di observed all around: "The teleportation... seems average."

Qin Tan gritted his teeth: "It's passable."

"Passable what?" Qin Lang held the child Rong Yang and walked out of the team, with Qin Bi and Lin Yao following. Qin Lang's gaze searched into the distance: "There aren't many trees, and I don't see any bamboo trees or willow branches. There aren't even trees that can be used for carved beams and painted pillars. Let's walk some more; perhaps we can dig up some medicinal herbs."

Qin Bi didn't know what exactly they were collecting, so she carefully took Rong Yang from Qin Lang's hands.

Rong Yang waved his little hands: "I'll walk myself; Mother can't hold me."

Lin Yao reached out and picked up the little milk bun.

Rong Yang didn't say he couldn't be held anymore. Qin Bi's thoughts were all on Rong Yang, only hearing Qin Tan say: "First, pluck all the plants all around. Qin Tang and I will go to the front to chop down a few willow trees."

The guards and servants obeyed and quickly scattered, staring at the ground to find plants.

Qin Bi: "..."

She glanced at the sandy ground. Lin Yao called Qin Bi, and Qin Bi stepped forward to follow Qin Tan's team. After walking not far, she saw several other families. These families also had average luck and were unlucky enough to be teleported to such a location.

When they met, the wariness in their eyes couldn't be hidden.

Qin Bi didn't understand where this wariness came from. There were no heavenly treasures all around, not even a single spiritual plant. There was nothing to seize, so what the hell were they wary of? They wouldn't want to fight just because they met, would they?!

In the Beast Realm's small space, the weak were like ants; if they were killed, they were killed.

"Hurry up and collect things?" An old man turned back and scolded the people in his team.

Fifty-some people immediately began to scramble to harvest the willow trees. When the other team saw this, they were anxious and immediately scrambled to occupy the remaining willow trees. Qin Lang and Qin Tang seized a dozen or so.

Qin Tan and Qin Di immediately led the team to protect these dozen or so willow trees. The Third Branch's little secondary son didn't forget to dig up a white wormwood; this was a medicinal herb, and it could be sold for money when they returned. Accumulating it one by one, it would slowly become more.

The Marquis Manor's little secondary son wasn't well-off; his monthly allowance was only enough for pocket money, which was absolutely not enough for cultivation.

The Beast Realm's small space was full of treasures. If one was lucky enough to be teleported to a location with many plants, just getting a bag of flowers and grass back would be enough to spend for a period of time. The little secondary son had a low status and could only plan for himself.

"Harvest the willow trees," Qin Tan arranged.

As he spoke, Qin Tan and Qin Di personally started to harvest the willow trees. Qin Lang and the others also hurriedly pulled up their robes, took the machetes they brought to chop the willow trees, and when they saw vegetables growing on the ground, they dug them up.

"These few trees are too few," Qin Lang muttered: "Not even enough to weave two baskets."

What? Qin Bi was dumbfounded. Listening to Qin Lang's words was so strange to her. After all this, they seized the willow trees to weave baskets? She had thought they had some great use! What were they scrambling for to weave baskets?

Could weaving baskets help one cultivate?

Qin Bi didn't understand, so she asked. Rong Yan and Jiang Xu were chopping willow trees and had no time.

Qin Bi simply asked the First Strategist Lin Yao, who understood the most: "Lin Yao, what is the use of weaving baskets with willow trees?"

Lin Yao, holding Rong Yang, also found a willow tree, a very small tree. This one belonged to him and the little Heir Apparent. Every willow branch was smooth, without knots, so the baskets woven would be pretty.

Lin Yao said as a matter of course: "To accumulate family wealth!"

Qin Bi had thought they were for holding precious things. Accumulating family wealth, she hurriedly asked: "What things to hold?"

"When harvesting crops, to hold the crops!" Lin Yao saw Qin Bi follow and didn't leave Rong Yang for an inch, so he took out his machete to shave the willow branches, one by one, very smoothly.

Qin Bi asked a silly question: "Do crops held in this kind of basket turn one catty into two, or can they turn into ten catties?"

She looked like she would take action if they could turn into ten catties.

Lin Yao was stumped by this question. He blinked and understood that the Heir Apparent's wife didn't understand anything. As a Marquis Manor young lady who didn't go out the door, it didn't seem strange that she didn't understand anything.

Rong Yang understood government affairs. The little bun looked up with his little head, looking at Qin Bi with a confused face.
