Chapter 303: Qin He Shizi
Many spiritual birds were standing in off-center positions, right at the edge of the teleportation array.
Never mind, Qin Bi activated it.
The moment the teleportation array activated, the spiritual birds standing off-center wobbled and were dragged, one by one, to Rong Wang Fu. Qin Bi sighed in amazement at that very moment. With Qin He Shizi here, things were different; the Hou Fu's luck was boosting them!
With a "thud," the teleportation array landed in the front courtyard of Rong Wang Fu.
"Quack, quack, quack..." a flock of spiritual birds cried out in alarm.
Everyone in Rong Wang Fu stood with their mouths agape, jaws nearly hitting the floor. Good heavens, was the He Shizi's wife overflowing with luck? The spiritual birds were endless; they were being teleported directly back for them to catch.
The Rong He Shizi's eyes flashed with joy as he ordered, "Catch them."
The entire manor joined in, swarming to catch the spiritual birds. A little milk bun waved its tiny hands, looking ready to chase them on the ground, while Rong Yang immediately started catching the birds herself.
Inside the small space of the Demon Beast Realm, Qin Bi set up another teleportation array.
Qin Yan now understood what was happening. His expression eased slightly, revealing a smile as he looked up at the sky. The luck was hidden within the clouds, not obvious, and the luck value was very peaceful.
"Catch one more batch, then I'll go back." Qin Yan was worried and said, "The people of Hou Fu are all killing demons. Catching spiritual birds isn't dangerous for you, but killing demons carries a slight risk of death if you aren't careful."
"Isn't Qin He here?" Qin Bi asked.
"Yes." Qin Lang didn't want Qin Yan to leave either. He pulled on Qin Yan and said, "Qin He has good fortune; having her is enough. Big Cousin, you are the Qin He Shizi. With you, the Hou Fu's luck is present, and the spiritual birds are extra foolish."
With his younger brothers and sisters holding him back, Qin Yan no longer mentioned leaving.
"Very well," Qin Yan nodded.
As for having Qin He? Qin Yan was not reassured.
Qin He kept clamoring about having good fortune, but Qin Yan knew exactly how capable she was.
Qin He's abilities lay in opening shops; in other aspects? She was lacking.
The river summoned by Qin Bi's summoning device was a small stream, given the summoning level. Small fish swam in it, and spiritual birds from a radius of one li flocked to the riverbank, waddling and quacking.
Everyone spread out to intercept the flocks of spiritual birds heading for the river. Seeing which group was densest, they flanked and drove the birds toward the teleportation array.
Luck was indeed mysterious. Before, catching spiritual birds was so difficult that even when driven, many escaped. But once Qin Yan arrived, the situation changed; almost the entire flanked group was driven straight into the teleportation array.
Qin Bi was speechless. Qin Yan's luck wasn't enough to attract the spiritual bird ducks, but when it came to gathering them, it had to be the Hou Fu He Shizi.
Everyone working together was simply unstoppable.
"I'll teleport to Hou Fu." With those words, Qin Bi activated the teleportation array.
Qin Yan and Qin Tang didn't even have a chance to be polite; the teleportation array flashed and vanished.
At this moment, Qin Tan was in Qin Di's study discussing the younger generation's trip to the small space of the Demon Beast Realm. The Hou Fu's luck was unclear, and Qin Tan was worried, so he hadn't even returned to the county office.
Qin Di's face was grave. There was no other reason; his legitimate eldest daughter had perished in the small space of the Demon Beast Realm.
He Shi couldn't rest easy, yet she had no solution. Cultivation required trials and tribulations; otherwise, one's cultivation base would be hard to improve. Since none of the children had a cultivation base, avoiding trials was clearly not an option.
Just then, with a "thud," the teleportation array crashed onto the open space in the courtyard of the Fourth House.
After previous experiences knowing Qin Bi liked teleporting, the Fourth House's courtyard had a fairly large open space. This time, the teleportation happened right there. Everyone was startled, and Qin Tan and Qin Di ran over.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack..." the spiritual birds cried out and ran in all directions.
"Spiritual birds????" The maids and nannies stood stunned.
Qin Tan only hesitated for an instant before immediately ordering the guards, "Hurry and call for help."
The guards and attendants rushed off, and even the young servants sprinted away. Shortly after, Qin Yan Hou arrived with everyone, not missing a single child. They swarmed to chase and catch the spiritual birds.
"Don't let the spiritual bird ducks escape the manor!" Qin Yan Hou shouted. "They were teleported back with such difficulty."
Immediately, the entire Hou Fu descended into chaos. Though they were in a frantic rush, everyone was overjoyed. The slightly older children climbed onto the walls, watching closely to prevent the spiritual birds from escaping the manor.
The neighboring manors were surprised and went out curiously to see what was happening.
They saw the children of Qin Yan Hou's manor closing the gates, watching from the walls. No need to ask; something must have been teleported back. The spiritual birds were quacking with nowhere to escape, being grabbed by the neck and thrown into baskets.
The baskets saved up last year finally came in handy. Qin Tan sighed, "It really pays to have a deep family treasury."
After catching them for quite a while, they finally secured all the spiritual bird ducks. Adults and children were delighted. Seeing the teleportation array, they knew it was Qin Tang's squad that had teleported back. Qin Yan Hou and Old Qin Yan Hou exchanged a glance.
Qin Tan felt his heart settle. He said to Qin Di, "Spiritual bird ducks are the most cowardly. There's no need to worry about Qin Tang and the others. As long as they are catching spiritual bird ducks, there is nothing to worry about."
Old Qin Yan Hou glanced at the spiritual birds in the basket. "There are spirit crystals. Put them in the Fourth House's courtyard first."
Those with small spirit crystals would likely mostly go to Qin Bi's two children.
Qin He had also given birth to a little He Shizi, but Rong Wang Fu and Xue Wang Fu were not the same. Qin Tang certainly wouldn't collect things together with Qin He. Therefore, these spiritual bird ducks should have nothing to do with Qin He.
The Fourth House couldn't keep them all, so they distributed some of the spiritual bird ducks to the First House and the Third House.
Just as they finished settling things, a "thud" was heard.
Qin Yan Hou and Qin Tan were startled, then reacted instantly, running to the Fourth House. The children had just taken a sip of water and were already screaming as they ran to close the manor gates again, climbing the walls to watch, not letting a single spiritual bird duck escape.
"Did Aunt Qin Bi teleport them back?" Qin Yan's eldest son asked.
"Yes." Qin Tang's eldest son nodded proudly. "It's my aunt's teleportation array."
"Our aunt is truly amazing!" the children praised.
Qin Tang's eldest son felt his eyes warm. When his aunt married He He Shizi, she had been so aggrieved. He remembered it clearly; back then, his aunt had cried very sadly. It was all because of Qin He from the Second House. Everyone said Qin He had good fortune, but his aunt had finally stood up straight.
By nightfall, every manor knew the situation: Qin Yan Hou's manor had closed its gates to catch spiritual bird ducks.
Good heavens, the entire Hou Fu was catching ducks. No one knew how many had been teleported back. However, the civil and military officials were suspicious. Encountering ten or eight spiritual bird ducks in the small space of the Demon Beast Realm was plausible.
But more? Was it possible to have so many?
People at Xue Wang Fu heard the news. Xue Wang Fei sent someone to ask, "Did our He Shizi's wife teleport the spiritual birds back?"
Qin Yan Hou's Lady, having just caught her breath, stood in the courtyard and said, "No."
Seeing this situation, Cui Shi knew what was happening. Xue Wang Fu probably thought the spiritual birds were teleported back by Qin He. Xue Wang Fu had some ideas, so they sent someone to ask.
"Tell your Wang Fei and Wang Ye," Cui Shi said. "Qin He didn't teleport anything back."
The person from Xue Wang Fu left, and Qin Yan Hou's Lady's expression was displeased.
"If it were Xue Wang Fu's property, could our Hou Fu hide it and not give it back?" Qin Yan Hou's Lady was dissatisfied. "If we didn't call them, it means it has nothing to do with Xue Wang Fu."
