Chapter 194: Who Summoned It?

Qin Lang took care of the two of them on the side, and then Qin Lang also took one to eat.

"Sister," Qin Lang asked, "when will you summon rain for our third and fourth branches?"

Qin Bi wasn't in a hurry. "Is rain that scarce?"

"It's extremely scarce." Qin Lang held the boiled corn and nodded vigorously.

Qin Bi hesitated, not daring to make big promises. "Let's wait until Yan Yan Huwei Yan returns. Maybe the rain I summoned has already stopped. Since the rainfall is small, I won't go show off."

"You call the rain you summoned small?" Qin Lang's eyes widened. "This amount of rain is enough."

Qin Bi didn't agree, nor did she refuse. She still planned to wait for news from the fief. Qin Bi loved eating boiled corn; she ate one and then took another.

Rong Yang stopped after eating one and took out some melon seeds to eat.

The little milk bun made "ah-ah" sounds, and Qin Bi chatted with the little guy; the little milk bun was so happy he waved his little hands. There was a plate of spiritual fruits on the table; the yellow peaches were ripe, so Qin Bi gave one to Rong Yang first before feeding the little milk bun.

Qin Lang sat on the side teasing the little guy, making the little guy kick his little legs.

Qin Lang didn't dare to hold him; this was Prince Rong's heart's delight.

By evening, Yan Yan Huwei Yan and the guard team returned with joyful faces, assisted by the teleportation array. Prince Rong and his advisors came out of the study. Prince Rong asked, "Is it still raining in the fief?"

"The rain has lessened," Yan Yan Huwei Yan laughed, "but it's still raining."

Prince Rong raised an eyebrow. It had been raining for almost a whole day; even a light rain could alleviate the drought. The advisors also had looks of surprise. Yan Yan Huwei Yan and the others reported back and went to change their clothes.

Lin Yao bowed. "Princess, you have performed a great service."

Qin Bi was the Princess, so she accepted Lin Yao's bow. "Summoning rain does consume spiritual power. One rain won't soak the ground through. Once the rain has soaked into the soil, I will go to the fief to summon more in a few days."

Prince Rong observed Qin Bi's complexion. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qin Bi nodded. "A little tired."

Prince Rong took his youngest son. "Because of the high consumption of spiritual power, eat some spiritual food."

After saying this, Prince Rong held his youngest son and opened the teleportation array to go to the sect. Before long, he brought back a spiritual plant chicken and a handful of mushrooms, throwing them to the kitchen to stew for Qin Bi and the children.

Qin Lang looked at the boiled tender corn in the basket and said, "Sister, cousin-in-law Jiang Shi's dowry farm has beans planted. I'll pick some fresh bean pods and bring them to you later; they are also very delicious when boiled."

Qin Bi smiled and said, "I want to eat them now."

Qin Lang left without a word. This time he used the teleportation array. After asking Jiang Shi, Qin Lang went to Jiang Shi's farm, picked and chose, and harvested a basket of bean pods.

Qin Lang carried the basket back to the Rong Prince's manor and gave it to the maid; the cook put the bean pods in the pot to boil.

Qin Bi was happy. This was the treatment one should have when traveling to ancient times—eating whatever one wanted, with a bunch of maids and nannies serving. Otherwise, the time travel would be a loss.

The cook cleaned them and boiled them in the pot. Soon, the smell of salty bean pods with Sichuan peppercorns wafted out.

The salty fragrance—Qin Bi waited patiently, intending to eat her fill. As a result, when the cook boiled them and brought a plate to the table, Qin Bi took one and peeled it. It was sour; the beans were flat and didn't taste fragrant.

Qin Bi frowned. "Didn't they grow well?"

Qin Lang took a look. "They're dry, because the soil lacks water."

Qin Bi couldn't wait a few days anymore. She asked Prince Rong for a summoning artifact. "Give me a summoning artifact with a stream drawn on it."

Prince Rong didn't move. "You summoned today; we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Qin Lang also nodded and said, "That's right, that's right, don't tire yourself out."

Qin Bi didn't insist. She sat down and continued to peel bean pods to eat, telling Qin Lang, "Go back and tell the third aunt and the others that I will summon rain for the Marquis Manor's fields tomorrow."

Qin Lang agreed. He didn't stay long, ate a few boiled bean pods, and went back.

Qin Lang returned to the Marquis Manor and immediately went to find Zhu Shi. "Hurry and find my fourth aunt to arrange things. Tomorrow, my sister Qin Bi is going to summon rain for our Marquis Manor's fields. Arrange the adjacent fields to facilitate the rain summoning."

Zhu Shi hesitated. "How large an area of rain can your sister Qin Bi summon?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment. "It should be able to cover almost all the fields adjacent to the Marquis Manor."

Zhu Shi went to find He Shi. The Qin Yan Hou's wife and the Heir's wife also discussed it together. Their farms had dozens of acres of fields connected in a piece; preparing a few more water-system crystals would be beneficial.

Qin Yan ran to tell Qin He. Qin He pondered, "Go back and tell the eldest aunt that I will summon rain for the Marquis Manor's fields. I will prepare the summoning artifact for the largest piece of fertile land myself; my summoning artifact is of a higher grade."

"I'll go back and tell the eldest aunt right now." Qin Yan returned happily.

When Qin Yan returned to the Marquis Manor, she went to find the Heir's wife of the Qin Yan Hou's manor. After telling her about Qin He's plan to summon rain, the Heir's wife didn't dare to be negligent and immediately went to discuss it with the Qin Yan Hou's wife.

"This, why choose the same day?" The Qin Yan Hou's wife felt it was inappropriate. "Go call the Heir to discuss it."

The servant soon found the Heir, Qin Yan. After hearing this, Qin Yan pondered.

Summoning rain was a good thing, and every family begged for it, but choosing the same day was really unnecessary. Qin Yan had never heard of anyone picking a date to summon rain. There was such a saying, but no one had ever greeted others to say they were picking a date to summon rain.

Qin Yan stood up. "I'll go talk to Qin Bi."

The Qin Yan Hou's wife nodded. "That's fine."

Qin Yan wanted to go to the Rong Prince's manor, and Qin Lang followed. It was already dusk. Qin Bi had just finished dinner—stewed spiritual plant chicken. At this moment, Qin Bi and Rong Yang were cooling off in the courtyard.

"Where is Prince Rong?" Qin Yan looked around and asked.

"The Prince is holding the little one in the study." Qin Bi signaled for Qin Yan and Qin Lang to sit and guessed with a smile, "Why are you here at this time? Is someone going to summon rain on the same day as me?"

Qin Yan: "..."

Qin Lang: "..."

"Sister," Qin Lang said, "how did you know?"

Qin Bi gave a contemptuous smile. "I guessed."

Qin Yan didn't beat around the bush and said, "Qin He also wants to summon rain tomorrow. Look, what should we do about this? The soil is dry, and every day is the same. In my opinion, we should summon rain as soon as possible, otherwise, the crops will have reduced yields."

"Then summon it." Qin Bi pondered for a moment and said, "I will summon it at my home. If Qin Lang has nothing to do, come to the Rong Prince's manor to watch me summon it. Otherwise, if rain is summoned, it won't be clear who summoned it."

Qin Yan was startled. "I'll come too."

Qin Bi: "..." "You just stay busy with your own things."

Qin Yan wasn't busy. They agreed to come over early tomorrow morning, and he stood up and left with Qin Lang.

Qin Bi just smiled lightly. By the next day, Qin Bi got up early, and Qin Yan and Qin Lang also arrived early. Qin Bi took the summoning artifact given by Qin Yan and immediately summoned a cloud cluster.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and many tree branches and leaves fell.

In the Xue Prince's manor, Qin He was called up by a maid. Seeing the pitch-black sky, Qin He immediately became energetic, took the summoning artifact, and went to summon. ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
