Chapter 130: She Is Holding a Grudge

~8 min read 1,594 words

Qin Bi's attention was on the little milk bun; she cast a perfunctory glance as Qin He waved her spiritual power.

As the spiritual power was flung outward, the faces of those following Qin He grew complex.

Qin He, unwilling to admit defeat, gritted her teeth and continued to channel spiritual power outward. Before her was only empty space, nothing at all. Qin Bi didn't know what others were thinking, but she found it somewhat ridiculous.

Qin Yan and Qin Tan's faces grew increasingly grim, nearly as dark as ink.

"Didn't you bring out the collected items?" Qin Yan walked over and asked Qin Tan.

Qin Tan felt a lump in his throat and nodded: "We didn't bring them out. Fortunately, we gathered one batch and sent it back, but the quantity was small; we only managed to collect roughly once within the small space of the Beast Realm."

Qin Yan took a deep breath. Qin Di, standing nearby, said to him: "Why did you bring Qin He along? Qin Bi and Qin He are at odds. Look at this mess; neither the trees nor the soil were brought out."

Qin Yan sighed: "Don't mention it."

Mentioning it was regret.

With matters already at this point, Qin Di hardly dared say anything more. After all, Qin Yan was the heir to the Hou Fu; what use was blaming him? The new small space of the Beast Realm had already closed, and Qin He could not open it.

Yes, Qin He could not open it.

No wonder she had been dragging her feet; Qin He probably knew the score.

"Sister Qin He," the legitimate daughter of the Second Branch said from the side, "don't worry; take your time."

Sweat beaded on Qin He's forehead as she gritted her teeth and continued to wave her spiritual power.

The Xue He Shizi could no longer bear to watch; his heart ached: "Qin He Shizi, Qin He has done her best. Do not make things difficult for her. Once the new small space of the Beast Realm is opened, there is a time limit. Perhaps it has already closed. How could Qin He possibly open it?"

Qin Yan's heart ached for the collected items, yet he did not speak to tell Qin He to stop.

Where was the skill the legitimate daughter of the Second Branch used to quarrel with Qin Bi? Now she was the one being made difficult.

Indeed, Qin Yan, the heir to the Qin Yan Hou Fu, was taking his anger out on the wrong person. Qin Bi had closed the small space of the Beast Realm out of spite, surely acting immaturely and failing to grasp priorities. But Qin He had come along to snatch credit, which was what had angered Qin Bi.

At this point, was there anything unclear? The new small space of the Beast Realm had absolutely nothing to do with Qin He's luck.

Seeing that Qin Yan had no intention of stopping Qin He, Xue Qing felt slightly annoyed. When Qin He's face turned pale, the Xue He Shizi, unable to bear it, thought for a moment and went over to hold Qin He.

Qin He could not stand; the Xue He Shizi quickly supported her.

"Forcing Qin He like this, are you satisfied?" The Xue He Shizi glared angrily at Qin Bi.

What the hell? Qin Bi's face turned cold: "Satisfied with what? Wasn't it you who kept shouting about Qin He's small space of the Beast Realm? Just now, Qin He even accused me of not considering the Hou Fu. If Qin He truly cared for your Xue Wang Fu and the Qin Yan Hou Fu, she should open the small space of the Beast Realm, shouldn't she? How did it become in your mouth that I am forcing her? You open it then. If you can't, don't blame others for forcing you. Is that all the spine you have?"

The Xue He Shizi's anger boiled. Qin He's eyes filled with tears: "You used tricks on the new small space of the Beast Realm and now force me to open it. You are just taking revenge on me; you did this on purpose."

With Qin He speaking so easily, Qin Bi's hand itched. She waved her hand, using spiritual power to slap Qin He across the face.

The Xue He Shizi could no longer tolerate this. He raised his hand to strike back, but he dared not; Qin Bi was carrying Rong Juan's child. If the Xue He Shizi so much as touched a finger of Qin Bi, Rong Juan would kill him.

"You dare hit me..." Qin He was fearless. Indeed, proud as she was, how could she endure being struck? She channeled her meager spiritual power to strike out: "By what right do you hit me?"

Qin Tan, Lin Yao, Qin Tang, and others blocked Qin Bi, while Qin Lang, Qin Xun, and Rong Yan were ready to beat Qin He.

The legitimate son and daughter of the Second Branch, along with Qin Yan and others, sided with Qin He. Qin Yan and people from the Xue family's vassal families even accused Qin Bi; after all, they were both children of the Hou Fu, cousins, and it was excessive to strike someone without regard for sisterly bonds.

Qin Bi had struck Qin He; she had only delivered one slap. She had wanted to hit Qin He long ago. Qin He had walked right into it, and after nagging her for so long, acting so immaturely, beating her was the right thing to do.

"Sisters of the same family, you are too bullying," Qin Yan turned and angrily rebuked Qin Bi.

This one was blind and deserved a beating too. Qin Bi asked: "Who will give her a slap for me?"

The young illegitimate son of the Third Branch did not hesitate a word. He followed Qin Lang, venting all his anger over the lost items, and reached out to slap Qin Yan twice. Qin Yan, caught completely off guard, was stunned by the blow.

The people in Qin He's group were furious. The Xue He Shizi looked at Qin Yan: "Qin He Shizi, will you just let them bully people like this?"

Qin Bi also turned her gaze to Qin Yan: "Cousin, do you want to split open the small space of the Beast Realm? If you do, give Qin He a slap. Make her admit the small space of the Beast Realm is hers. Empty words cannot go unpunished; hit her."

Qin He was shocked and enraged: "Qin Bi, you dare."

"Do you truly mean this?" Qin Tan, not waiting for Qin Yan to speak, asked Qin Bi eagerly.

Qin Bi showed no fear of Qin He: "I dare."

Qin Bi turned her head and said to her third uncle, Qin Tan: "The moment Qin He says the small space of the Beast Realm is not hers, I will split it open. I am not saying I am holding a grudge; I am holding a grudge."

Qin Tan heard nothing else; he only heard that the small space of the Beast Realm could be opened.

Qin Tan was an elder; disciplining juniors was only natural, especially in ancient times. Qin Tan held status in the Hou Fu, so he directly slapped Qin He twice. "You troublemaker," he thought, "shouting that the small space of the Beast Realm is yours and causing so much trouble."

Qin He covered her face. The Xue He Shizi flew into a rage: "Your Third and Fourth Branches are too oppressive."

"What?" Qin Tan asked. "As an elder, am I not allowed to discipline a junior?"

The Xue He Shizi choked: "What did Qin He do wrong?"

Qin He covered her face, so angry she felt dizzy. She looked at the legitimate eldest son of the Second Branch, Qin Jue: "Eldest brother..."

Qin Jue saw clearly; this matter was indeed Qin He's fault for snatching credit first. He said: "Qin Bi, the small space of the Beast Realm is yours. Qin He was wrong, and she has already been beaten. Do not hold a grudge."

Qin Bi ignored Qin Jue, lifted her chin, and asked Qin He disdainfully: "Is the small space of the Beast Realm yours?"

Qin He's eyes flickered, and she stubbornly replied: "You used tricks."

The implication was still that the small space of the Beast Realm belonged to her.

Qin Bi turned to Qin Yan: "If you do not beat Qin He, I will not open it."

Qin Yan: "..."

The heir to the Qin Yan Hou Fu and Qin He had the closest relationship. Qin Bi wanted Qin Yan to beat the luck of the Qin Yan Hou Fu out of Qin He. Qin He had borrowed from the Heavenly Dao to steal a portion of the Qin Yan Hou Fu's luck; however much she stole, Qin Bi would beat it away from her, one time after another.

In the gap while Qin Yan pondered, Qin Bi added another sentence: "My fighting qi is dominated by killing intent. I must vent this anger. If you, cousin, do not discipline Qin He, I will act myself. Do you believe I could kill her with a single strike?"

"Whoa," Qin Lang's eyes sparkled: "Truly impressive."

Qin Tan shivered. Fighting qi dominated by killing intent meant killing one's own kin was absolutely forbidden. It was better for Qin Yan to discipline her than for Qin Bi to act and kill Qin He. Qin Bi was clearly not joking.
