Chapter 241: Don't You Also Have a Cheat?

Rong Juan held the small porcelain spoon, paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "You only know that spiritual food from the Immortal Sect is expensive, but you don't know that planting it is not easy. Seeds sprouting doesn't mean they can grow to maturity and bear fruit."

"Ah." The little milk bun opened his mouth and stretched out his tiny hand to grab the hand Rong Juan was holding the spoon with.

"He wants to drink chicken soup." Qin Bi urged Rong Juan.

Rong Juan lowered his eyes, a trace of softness appearing on his cold, handsome face. The little guy was incredibly cute, his delicate features inherited from Qin Bi. He He Shizi Apparent fed the chicken soup from the small porcelain spoon to the little milk bun.

*A-wu*, the little guy drank the fragrant chicken soup and kicked his little legs in delight.

Qin Bi found it amusing, leaned over and kissed the little milk bun. One kiss wasn't enough, so she turned and kissed Rong Yang as well. Rong Yang glanced at Qin Bi, then the child continued eating the cold shredded chicken.

Summer was hot, and cold dishes were very much to the child's taste.

"Is Rong Chi doing well?" Rong Juan asked Qin Bi.

As his, Rong Juan's, son, he would only be blessed if he was liked by his mother.

"He is." Qin Bi didn't hide her affection: "How can he be so cute? And Rong Yang too, I like them so much."

He He Shizi Apparent was in a great mood. He scooped a spoonful of chicken soup from the bowl and turned to feed it to Rong Yang. The little milk bun, Rong Chi, had a quick temper and opened his little mouth, following the spoon. Rong Yang opened his mouth and drank it.

Rong Juan immediately scooped another spoonful to feed his younger son. Rong Yang was happy, and the little one was also dancing with joy.

After the meal, the children were well-fed and happy.

When the wife of the Minister of Revenue heard that Qin Bi had grown spiritual melon seedlings in the barren lands, she was surprised and incredulous. She was close friends with the wife of Su Yan Guogong and sent someone to tell her.

"Can this be true?" The wife of Su Yan Guogong asked the Heir Apparent's wife.

"There is no one who knows the barren lands better than the Minister of Revenue's wife," the Heir Apparent's wife said. "Since the Minister's wife says Qin Bi has grown spiritual melon seedlings, it is likely true."

The wife of Su Yan Guogong waved her silk fan: "Perhaps it was just a coincidence."

Qin Bi had left the capital with the third branch of the family and was said to have farmed a few mu of land where Qin Tan served as a County Magistrate. The child knew farming, but the specifics were unclear. The wife of Su Yan Guogong's deepest impression of Qin Bi was her marriage.

In casual conversation among relatives, people liked to compare Qin He and Qin Bi.

Qin He was clever and would occasionally come up with fresh ideas; any one of them could earn money. Qin He was considered a talented woman and a little rich girl; in the past, Qin Bi naturally couldn't compare.

Regarding the marriage to the Heir Apparent He, everyone favored Qin He.

And yet, the wife of Su Yan Guogong sighed.

Qin He had blocked the fate of the Heir Apparent He having a wife and children. If it weren't for Qin He, the Heir Apparent He would have a wife and children now. Among the two powerful heirs, the wife of Su Yan Guogong favored the Heir Apparent He more and hoped he would have a wife and children.

She only thought this in her heart; she couldn't say it out loud. He He Shizi Apparent Rong was not someone to be trifled with.

Qin Yan felt that Qin Bi growing spiritual melon seedlings in the barren lands today was very unreal, but the Marquis Qin Yan could handle it. He made a trip to the Su Yan Guogong's manor to ask the Heir Apparent Su for help in finding spiritual melon seeds.

He He Shizi Apparent Su actually had some and gave him a dozen watermelon seeds.

Qin He's younger sister of the same mother and Qin Yan learned of this matter. Near dusk, they called Qin Han to go to the Xue Wang Fu to discuss it with Qin He; sisters of the same family also have their own small circles.

In the Marquis Manor, the sisters were closest to each other and followed Qin He's lead.

Qin He's depleted spiritual energy hadn't recovered yet. She leaned on the daybed, her face still pale. Fubao was jumping around nearby, and there was a basin of ice in the room, so it wasn't hot.

Qin He knew how to enjoy life. Hearing what her younger sister and the others said, her eyes widened, and her voice rose: "Impossible. Qin Bi is a concubine's daughter and is usually useless. How could she grow spiritual melon seedlings in the barren lands where spiritual energy is scarce?"

The barren lands had desolate, compacted soil and almost no spiritual energy.

"I heard it from people in the main branch." Qin He's younger sister lowered her head and thought for a moment: "It doesn't seem fake."

Qin Yan was eating a melon from the fruit platter; it was iced, cold, and sweet. She was a concubine's daughter and usually couldn't eat this in the Marquis Manor. Qin Yan said: "That's right. Qin Lang asked the eldest cousin for seeds, but the eldest cousin had gone out."

"If it's true..." Qin He immediately thought of something and said bitterly: "She must have some kind of cheat. Without a cheat, just her? She can grow things in the barren lands? Laughable."

Qin He didn't look up to Qin Bi at all. She was the great heroine, while Qin Bi was just a concubine's daughter from an ancient Marquis Manor.

Qin Han was puzzled and asked: "What cheat?"

"This..." Qin He had a system herself, but she didn't dare tell anyone, not even the Heir Apparent Xue or Fubao, so how could she tell her younger sister and the others? Qin He thought for a moment and said: "For example, that kind of planting space with a spiritual spring inside. If you take the spiritual spring water to irrigate the plants, the melons and fruits will grow rapidly."

Qin Han and the others wondered what kind of cheat it was. Hearing this, Qin He's younger sister curled her lip: "You think too highly of her. Apart from being the Heir Apparent Rong's wife, Qin Bi has no skills. How could she have a cheat?"

"She must have one." Qin He sat up: "Otherwise, it doesn't make sense."

He He Shizi Apparent Xue happened to walk in. Qin He said: "Heir Apparent, Qin Bi has a spiritual spring space or a planting space. This kind of thing shouldn't exist in this Cultivation World. Tell the Immortal Sect; they should destroy such an incredible thing."

Qin He spoke righteously, but the Heir Apparent Xue and Qin Han and the others had strange expressions, looking confused.

Qin He realized later: "What's wrong?"

Qin Han then said: "If there really is such a spiritual spring space as you say, it belongs to the category of magic treasures. If it can be obtained, it counts as a great opportunity. Why would the Immortal Sect want to destroy it?"

Qin He was stunned and continued: "But it doesn't belong to this world."

Everyone was silent, not understanding why Qin He would think this way.

Qin He's younger sister blinked, her face full of confusion.

"The kind of spiritual spring space you mentioned belongs to the magic treasures of the Cultivation World." He He Shizi Apparent Xue looked at Qin He and shook his head with a sigh: "Qin He, among cultivators, there are many people who have various magic treasures. You..."

Don't you also have a cheat, a magic treasure space that can take out various pills?

He He Shizi Apparent Xue stopped and didn't continue. He had already hinted to Qin He; Qin He should know better than anyone what he meant. You say Qin He doesn't understand, yet she also has a magic treasure space.

You say she understands, yet she actually thinks that if Qin Bi has a magic treasure, the Immortal Sect shouldn't tolerate it.

Qin He didn't quite understand the Heir Apparent Xue's meaning and retorted: "The land in Great Yan is dry, and summoning rain is not easy. If Qin Bi has a spiritual spring space, wouldn't she be very powerful? This kind of spiritual spring space shouldn't exist."

It should be destroyed.

Everyone found Qin He's idea inexplicable, only thinking that Qin He didn't like Qin Bi, which was why she thought this way.

Qin Han and the others sat for a while, delivered the message, and left.

He He Shizi Apparent Xue didn't take it to heart. Qin He was furious, thinking about something.
