Chapter 306: Snatching the Qin He Shizi

Qin He turned her head and solemnly announced to everyone, "Our team consists of the most outstanding disciples of the Hou Fu. We rise and fall with the Hou Fu; how can others compare to us?"

Several cultivators glanced at Qin Jue and the others. Their cultivation bases were not high, yet they were supposedly the Hou Fu's most outstanding team. The other team must be even weaker; indeed, some choices had to be made.

A young cultivator sneered, "So arrogant."

"I am not arrogant," Qin He said unhappily, her face serious as she told everyone, "Among our generation, I am indeed the strongest Hou Fu cultivator after the Qin He Shizi."

Upon hearing this, some disbelieved, while others remained skeptical.

"Since the Eldest Cousin left, our luck has dropped," Qin Yan stamped her foot. "The Eldest Cousin was clearly meant to be on our team. What does Cousin Qin Xun mean by snatching him away again and again?"

Qin Jue did not overthink it; the Xue He Shizi was still fighting the demonic beasts.

"What else could it mean?" Qin He's legitimate sister said, displeased and disdainful. "Qin He's sister must have guessed correctly. The Fourth and Third Houses, unable to gather anything, have lost their temper and are disregarding their dignity to snatch the Eldest Cousin from us, stealing the Hou Fu's luck."

"Stop talking," the illegitimate son of the First House said.

"Why stop?" Qin He's legitimate sister protested indignantly. "Unable to gather items, they steal luck. They show no regard for the fact that we are all from the Qin Yan Hou Fu. They just love to compete with our Second House and with Qin He's sister."

Qin He's legitimate sister and Qin Yan held their summoning magic treasures, discussing loudly. A woman in a fairy skirt mentally took sides; she hated those who stole luck the most.

"They are snatching the Qin He Shizi," the woman said. "You can snatch him back too."

Qin He and the others' eyes sparkled as they exchanged a glance with her legitimate sister.

At that moment, Qin Tang and the others were attacking the spirit ducks, trying to prevent them from entering the water and driving them toward the cloth transmission array. They were not in a rush to drive them all into the array at once.

After all, Qin Yan had not arrived.

If the luck did not change, who could guarantee that good fortune would come?

So, everyone controlled the scene, waiting for Qin Xun to snatch Qin Yan over. Why say "snatch"? In the minds of the Third and Fourth Houses, it was assumed that the Qin He Shizi belonged to the same team as Qin Jue and Qin He.

Qin He also felt the Qin He Shizi was on their team. There was no other reason; Qin Yan had always been on the Second House's team. Suddenly calling Qin Yan over made Qin Tang and Qin Xun feel it was a snatch.

You see, with time, some things become assumed to be so.

Qin Lang did not think so. Seeing the small transmission array flash, with Qin Yan and Qin Xun appearing, he exclaimed joyfully, "Eldest Cousin, you're here! We were just waiting for you to attack the spirit ducks. You shouldn't have left."

Qin Yan glanced around. Good heavens, hundreds of spirit ducks. Qin Yan deeply agreed; he indeed should not have left.

Qin Yan lost his composure. Without a second thought, he found a spot and joined everyone in driving the spirit ducks. Qin Bi and Rong Juan and the others were amazed; the Qin He Shizi's arrival made all the difference.

The transmission array had boundaries, and the spirit ducks were alive. Even after quacking into the array, they ran around wildly.

As the duck flock ran, they easily ran out of the transmission array.

Or, many spirit ducks stood with one foot inside the array and one foot outside. When the array activated, a shudder would cause the spirit ducks to fall out.

But once the Qin He Shizi arrived, it was different. These spirit ducks stubbornly all fell inside the transmission array. Wasn't this luck powerful? The array activated, transporting the spirit ducks back to the Rong Wang Fu.

"Bang!" Three hundred spirit ducks landed in the front courtyard of the Rong Wang Fu.

Everyone in the Wang Fu was stunned. "Heavens! There's more."

Rong Yang led the hunt for the spirit ducks. The Rong He Shizi held his youngest son under the corridor. The Rong Wang simply joined in. The little milk bun, Rong Chi, was anxious, flapping his tiny hands and kicking his little feet.

"If you keep fussing, you won't get a single spirit duck to eat," the Rong He Shizi said, looking down.

The little milk bun looked up. "Give me some to eat."

The child was so cute and babyish that the Rong He Shizi could not say no. The man had been reborn several times, cold and hard-hearted, yet looking at his own youngest son, the Rong He Shizi's heart softened.

The little fellow had eaten braised duck with his brother Rong Yang yesterday but hadn't had enough. When his father said he wouldn't get any, the little milk bun felt aggrieved, tears welling in his black, round eyes.

"Be good," the Rong He Shizi nodded. "Don't fuss. You are still young and cannot hunt spirit ducks."

The child remembered, wiping away his tears. The Rong He Shizi, feeling heartache, ordered a guard to pluck a duck feather for the little milk bun to play with. The child grabbed the feather and quacked with laughter, and the Rong He Shizi smiled too.

Not only was the child happy; everyone was overjoyed. Oh my, these were spirit ducks.

In the small space of the demonic beast realm, one batch had been transported away, and everyone was delighted. Qin Bi took out a smaller transmission array, set it up, and just as everyone was about to drive the spirit ducks, Qin He used her summoning magic treasure to contact Qin Yan.

"Eldest Cousin," Qin He said. "Return immediately."

Return immediately? Qin Yan would listen to her only if he was crazy.

Seeing this situation, everyone immediately formed a cordon, driving the spirit ducks toward the transmission array. This time, there were about two hundred spirit ducks. Qin Bi activated the array, transporting them to the Rong Wang Fu.

"Bang!" A flock of spirit ducks landed in the courtyard, and the entire Rong Wang Fu was overjoyed.

Those who didn't know might have thought the Rong Wang Fu was capturing assassins. The young prince ran over, saw so many spirit ducks, his eyes shining amazingly, and charged forward with his little legs.

After this batch was transported back, the spirit ducks in the sand did not seem to decrease.

Qin Bi set up the transmission array, and Qin He contacted Qin Yan again. "Eldest Cousin, a cousin is injured."

Qin Yan, helpless, had to activate the small transmission array to return.

Upon returning, he found the Xue He Shizi was also slightly injured, along with another cousin.

Qin He complained endlessly. "Eldest Cousin, you shouldn't have gone to Cousin Qin Tang's team. Their inability to gather items is their own incompetence. It is wrong to cause a talented cousin to get injured."

"It's all their fault," Qin He's legitimate sister added.

Before they finished complaining, Qin Xun came again to snatch Qin Yan, pulling him away.

Qin He felt dizzy with anger, nearly fainting. "How shameless."

Qin He's legitimate sister cursed, and other cultivation families frowned.

Snatched by Qin Xun, Qin Yan immediately continued driving the spirit ducks. This time, Qin Bi asked Qin Yan for a transmission array, and all the driven spirit ducks were transported back to the Qin Yan Hou Fu.

"Bang!" The transmission array landed.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

The entire Hou Fu perked up. Children ran to close the Hou Fu gates.

Neighbors saw this and knew without asking: another batch of spirit ducks was being transported back. They were closing their gates to catch ducks.

Children climbed onto the walls, determined not to let a single spirit duck fly away. Qin Tan was glad he hadn't returned to the government office to handle official duties. Look, another batch of spirit ducks had been transported back.

After catching these, they hadn't even caught their breath before another batch was transported back.

The children screamed, extremely excited.

The Xue Wang Fei felt this batch of spirit ducks must have been transported back by Qin He.
