Chapter 31

A flash of surprise erupted in Qin Bi's eyes: "Really?"

"Really." Rong Yan was also pleasantly surprised. This trip to the small space in the Beast Realm was simply incredible. Looking at a cluster of auspicious clouds, Rong Yan said, "Look at these auspicious clouds; they are definitely top-grade high-tier auspicious clouds."

Qin Bi was overjoyed, and Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and the others also walked over, their eyes filled with surprise and delight.

The auspicious clouds of the Great Yan Kingdom are top-tier high-grade auspicious clouds. There were three in total, but two were swallowed by Qin He's child; hence, the child Qin He gave birth to is a 'Fortune Treasure' with a high fortune value.

Now, only Rong Juan Shizi still has one auspicious cloud, which is kept very well hidden.

It is estimated that if Qin He's child dared to swallow this auspicious cloud, Rong Juan would knock her teeth out.

Rong Juan is full of killing intent and is not as easy to talk to as He Yan or the Great Yan Emperor. Rong Juan has his own child and is single-mindedly saving up a small treasury for his son; how could he possibly view someone else's child as a 'Fortune Treasure'?

"Jiejie, we were really amazing this time." Qin Lang was thrilled. He looked at the auspicious clouds for a while, then looked at the auspicious clouds in front of Qin Bi a moment later, as curious as a child.

As much as Qin Bi liked them, she was still very concerned about planting.

A light rain had just fallen, covering a very small area. The ground in this patch was damp, and that was all. When she dug, the compacted soil hadn't even loosened, but with just this bit of rainwater, various small plants on the ground began to sprout from the soil.

"This bit of rainwater is too little." Qin Bi had only unleashed it once; it was hard to say if she could summon water-attribute abilities again.

However, one can try again and again while training. Qin Bi continued to practice the summoning spell, and Qin Tang and the others also felt it was good, so they searched around for plants to dig up, skipping the ones that had just sprouted.

Qin Bi was impressive; from time to time, she would summon a small-area light rain—a shower the size of a tabletop, fine and dense, wetting the surface of the ground. As it gradually became lighter, small flowers and grasses in the soil broke through the surface.

Rong Yan was stunned: "The small space in the Beast Realm likes people with your cultivation aptitude. You can replenish the small space with rainwater and let plants grow. If you go to a higher-tier small space in the Beast Realm, you might even get a few spirit fruits."

Qin Lang held the plant he had just dug up and said, "Jiejie, walk around a bit; perhaps you can find precious medicinal herbs. Spirit plants would also work; it doesn't have to be spirit fruits."

Qin Bi hesitated. Qin Xun and Qin Lang simply stopped digging for plants and followed her to walk around where there were trees. And sure enough, Qin Bi found eleven spirit fruits; the bright red fruits smelled fragrant.

Qin Lang: "......"

Qin Xun: "......"

Hoping to find spirit fruits and actually finding them are two different things. Qin Bi had actually found spirit fruits.

Fortunately, the spirit fruits were all ripe. Qin Bi carefully picked them one by one. She kept these spirit fruits for Rong Yang to eat. The child had a small appetite and couldn't eat them that quickly, and if the fruit skin was damaged, they wouldn't keep.

After Rong Yan heard this, he had originally planned to leave later, but now he urgently urged Qin Bi to take out the teleportation array: "The spirit fruits grew by absorbing the spiritual energy of the Beast Realm's small space. Once you pick them, scholars with high cultivation talent will sense it and come to snatch them. We must leave immediately."

Qin Tang and the others panicked when they heard this. Fortunately, their harvest had already been teleported back, so there was nothing to pack.

Qin Bi did not drag her feet at all. She immediately took out the teleportation array and, before the scholars and other training teams could arrive, activated it to leave this small space in the Beast Realm a step ahead.

The teleportation destination was the Rong Wang Fu. Seeing the teleportation array, Rong Juan carried the child to the front courtyard.

Qin Bi put away the teleportation array. Rong Yan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they were worried that the teleportation array wasn't fast enough and would be caught up by a higher-level one. Rong Juan held Rong Yang, and the child was making 'ah-ah' sounds.

Qin Bi's heart suddenly felt light. She walked over with a smile, but didn't touch the child: "Rong Yang, be good. Mother is covered in dirt; I'll wash up before holding you. Don't cry, you are very amazing."

Rong Yang pouted, his eyelashes misted with tears.

Rong Juan felt a pang of heartache, but he didn't urge Qin Bi.

Qin Bi was also a parent who doted on her child. Her heart ached; the child hadn't been away from her for this long since birth. Although it had only been two days, Qin Bi felt as if a long time had passed. She coaxed Rong Yang, and the family of three returned to their courtyard.

The steward would attend to Qin Tang and the others, and Qin Tang and his group didn't feel slighted.

Rong Juan had a fate of being a 'wife-killer' and having no children. Having finally had a child, he didn't let anyone else help with childcare. He raised the child in the palm of his hand, so when the little one pouted, Rong Juan felt heartache!

Without that fate, one wouldn't dare compare oneself to the little Shizi.

Even if they were truly slighted, Rong Yan and the others wouldn't dare to utter a word.

Qin Bi returned to the Shizi's courtyard, washed up, changed into a summer dress, and came out to take the child who was leaning forward to find her. Smelling the familiar scent, Rong Yang leaned on Qin Bi's shoulder and acted spoiled.

Rong Juan looked her over: "You weren't hurt, were you?!"

"No." Qin Bi smiled and shook her head.

In this state, her eyes had a bit more radiance, and Rong Juan's heart stirred.

Qin Bi held the tiny Rong Yang affectionately and said to Rong Juan: "There are spirit fruits in my storage bag, just picked. Take them out and mash them into a puree for Rong Yang to taste."

Qin Bi couldn't wait to give the best to Rong Yang. Thinking of the child waiting for her at home made Qin Bi's heart ache. Rong Yang was too young, just a few months old. Fortunately, Rong Yang was quite attached to Rong Juan.

Rong Juan went to get the storage bag and opened it to see eleven red spirit fruits.

They were actually first-rank high-grade spirit fruits. Rong Juan was truly surprised this time.

He gave the spirit fruits to a guard, who took them to the kitchen and watched the cook mash them into a jam. Qin Bi was worried the child couldn't eat a whole one at once, so she used a small porcelain spoon to scoop a little and feed it to the little guy.

Rong Yang smacked his little lips and gobbled it up. After eating, he pouted again, his little expression very aggrieved.

Qin Bi talked to the child: "I won't go anymore in the future; I'll stay at home and keep our Rong Yang company."

The little guy then made 'ah-ah' sounds again, opening his mouth wide. Qin Bi laughed and fed him another spoonful of spirit fruit puree. The little guy probably found it delicious, eating mouthful after mouthful, his little hands flapping.

His little hands were chubby and full of strength.

A smile flashed across Rong Juan's handsome face, reaching his eyes. He then stood up and went to the front courtyard. He still had to show the proper respect to Rong Yang's maternal family. Knowing Rong Juan would handle it, Qin Bi felt at ease feeding the child.

In the front courtyard living room, tea had been brewed, and Rong Juan roughly asked about the situation.

Qin Tang and the others didn't stay long; having just returned, they were all anxious to go home.

Rong Juan distributed a few sweet potatoes to each of them. He didn't feel stingy at all; he didn't even want the summoning artifacts or anything, giving them all to them. If Qin Bi hadn't promised the sweet potatoes, Rong Juan definitely wouldn't have given them.

The group took the distributed sweet potato spirit food and immediately bid farewell and left.

After Qin Bi fed Rong Yang until he was full and coaxed the little guy to sleep, he grabbed her lapel. Qin Bi was also sleepy, so she simply slept along with him. This sleep was deep and heavy.

Rong Juan couldn't bear to wake Qin Bi, so he carried the little guy to the Imperial Palace to mooch a meal.
