Chapter 26: Went Berserk

The child glanced tentatively, then buried himself in Rong Juan's arms.

A concubine's daughter watched the child from afar; the small child was exquisitely beautiful, like jade carved with pink.

Rong Juan was used to looking down on others; no one in the entire Prince's Prefecture dared to contradict him. Now Rong Juan coaxed the child in a low voice: "It's just a demon beast. In winter, I'll make you little boots from its fur."

The Prince's side consort: "..."

She had wanted to make a cloak, or a forehead band.

Instead, he's making little boots.

Stepping on her head.

The Prince's side consort looked at the Prince again. The Prince ignored her. What was he thinking? Hadn't Rong Juan said he'd make the child little boots? Anyone who covets what Rong Juan favors is out of their mind.

Hearing Rong Juan's words, Rong Yuan turned and stared with round, black eyes, curiously observing the demon beasts in the courtyard. The five white foxes were medium-sized demon beasts, large in size, with sleek, glossy fur.

In this world, cultivation honors the color red, with ranks divided into yellow, purple, white, green, cyan, orange, and indigo. In the small space of the demon beast realm where novice cultivators train, such white foxes are rare.

The child's eyes were full of curiosity; his tiny hands flailed. He was happy.

The Prince ignored the side consort. Her son glanced up, then lowered his head again. The side consort said, "We don't know whose teleportation array this is, but since it transported here to our Prince's Prefecture, we should at least share it."

Rong Juan's eyes sharpened; he squinted: "The entire Rong Prince's Prefecture belongs to my son, Rong Yuan."

The Prince glanced at the side consort. You provoked him, yet you can't handle him.

The side consort moved her lips but dared not speak again.

Rong Juan had long guarded the border passes, his body radiating killing intent; the side consort was terrified from the bottom of her heart.

The Prince found them annoying and dismissed the side consort, concubines, and concubine-born children. None of them were worth a single Rong Juan. Rong Juan ordered his guards to dig out the crystals, then had all the demon beasts moved to the storage house.

On this side of the demon beast realm's small space, Qin Bi's team went berserk.

Rather than saying their team went berserk, it was more accurate to say Qin Bi alone slaughtered in all directions. The new teacup was formidable; fireballs and lightning struck together. She found white foxes and killed them; she found indigo wolves and exterminated them too.

Retrieving the teleportation array, Qin Bi transported herself back.

Inside the Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture, He Shi felt uneasy at home, constantly worrying that her children might meet disaster in the demon beast realm's small space. The room was stiflingly hot, so He Shi went to the veranda, where the sun was even more scorching.

The old woman beside her was about to say a few comforting words when a teleportation array suddenly appeared in the sky.

Oh heavens! The Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture had fallen on hard times; few had ever seen a teleportation array. Terrified, they all ran to the veranda. He Shi was born in the Yan Guogong Prefecture and knew what a teleportation array was, but seeing one suddenly appear at her home caught her off guard, and she panicked.

With a "bang," the teleportation array landed in the courtyard.

Demon beasts piled in the courtyard. He Shi's eyes widened. Qin Di and Qin Tan hurried over. Gazing at the beasts one by one, the two brothers stood dumbfounded, pondering for a long time before figuring it out.

"Perhaps Qin Tang and the others killed these demon beasts," Qin Tan said excitedly. "It seems their training went smoothly."

"So many demon beasts are enough to enter cultivation," Qin Di thought immediately of the beasts' value. He hadn't joined the training, yet with these beasts, he could enter cultivation and still have plenty left over.

Qin Tan was both excited and tempted. He counted the number and types of beasts, still finding it hard to believe. There was only one white fox, over ten indigo wolves, and the rest were other demon beasts.

Such a quantity was unimaginable for the Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture.

However, since the training involved Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Bi from the fourth branch, and Qin Lang from the third branch, it was unclear who contributed most to these beasts. They could only move them to the storage house first and wait for the group's return.

Upon hearing this, the old Qin Yan Marquis and the current Qin Yan Marquis hurriedly came, lifting their robes as they rushed.

Gazing at the pile of demon beasts, the old Qin Yan Marquis trembled with excitement: "These children are blessed and fortunate. I was worried they'd encounter demon beasts, but I never expected they'd have the strength to kill them."

The Qin Yan Marquis stared intently at the beasts, lamenting: "Our Marquis Prefecture didn't even prepare a summoning magic treasure for Qin Tang and the others. We don't know where they got their magic treasures."

The demon beasts were stored in the fourth branch's warehouse. After the family's excitement, worry returned.

Rong Juan held the child in the courtyard to enjoy the cool breeze, also feeling worried. Just then, another teleportation array appeared in the sky. With a "bang," various high-grade demon beasts landed in the Prince's Prefecture courtyard.

The Prince, who was drinking tea, was startled and stood up to go to the veranda.

Rong Juan's guards arrived first, surrounding the beasts. Rong Juan shielded the child from the sun, then arrived a moment later holding Rong Yuan. The side consort, concubines, and concubine-born children dared only to watch from afar, their eyes full of envy.

Looking at the beasts in the teleportation array, the Prince hesitated and asked, "Yours?"

"Mine." Rong Juan picked out a elk; its meat was tender, tastier than other beasts, and the animal was relatively gentle. Rong Juan tilted his chin: "Send it to the kitchen to make porridge for the child."

The guards carried the beasts away to prepare them.

While counting the beasts, Rong Juan said to Rong Yuan in his arms: "Your mother earned these for you. See how fortunate you are."

The child guffawed, his tiny hands flailing, kicking his little legs.

Someone from the Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture came to deliver a message, saying that those who went to the demon beast realm's small space had returned with many demon beasts and requested Rong Juan come over. Rong Juan went but showed no interest in taking any of the beasts.

Next came the impressive part: in the demon beast realm's small space, Qin Xun, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu were responsible for finding high-value beasts, while Qin Bi wielded the teacup to slaughter. If there was water, taking a sip made her even more powerful.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a teacup for drinking tea.

After killing the beasts, Qin Bi transported them back. She selected white foxes and elks, teleporting them to the Rong Prince's Prefecture.

All other beasts were transported to the Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture. Seeing the beasts arrive again, even Rong Juan lost his composure. Counting Qin Tang and his brothers, plus Rong Yan and Jiang Xu, none possessed such strength.

Fortunately, the gains were substantial. Since no one was injured by the beasts, Rong Juan wasn't overly worried.

The Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture had fallen on hard times for so many years, possessing nothing for cultivation. The teleportation array arriving again and again left the entire Qin Yan Marquis family stunned.

Moreover, teleportation arrays weren't cheap. Was this how they were used?

No one knew how many teleportation arrays Qin Bi brought. What would happen when they were used up? The old Qin Yan Marquis and his son were both excited and worried at home, their emotions extremely complex.

Counting the teleportation arrays, Rong Juan also felt something was off. He had given Qin Bi one array that remained unused, yet beasts were still arriving via teleportation arrays. The Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture had quite a few too. Where did all these arrays come from?

Where did they come from? Qin Bi seized them by her own ability.

While searching everywhere to kill beasts, they encountered several teams. Seeing their weak strength, the others tried to steal their summoning magic treasures. Qin Bi's combat spirit value was high; she incinerated them with a single fireball.

Qin Lang, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu ran to collect the summoning magic treasures, storage bags, and teleportation arrays. They were free loot.

While killing beasts and dealing with teams trying to rob them, the group made a fortune.
