Chapter 337: The Little Milk Bun Earned It
Qin He watched He Yan clumsily holding the little milk bun, looking very reluctant, and secretly rolled her eyes at the child. "Pretending to be cute? He He Shizi doesn't like you."
"Just like Qin Bi," Qin He couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
She turned away to roll her eyes in secret, not daring to do it openly. Although Qin He felt Rong He Shizi wouldn't refuse to give face, she subconsciously felt she couldn't be seen by Rong He Shizi doing it.
The little milk bun tilted his head to look at Qin He, paused for a moment, held up the jade pendant, lifted his small head, and used the small hand not holding the jade to tug He Yan. He Yan looked down as the little milk bun adorably held up the jade pendant.
"Like it," the child said.
"Like it" meant "want it"; the child was very direct.
He Yan: "..."
Qin Yan was speechless. The jade pendant carried by He He Shizi was not an ordinary jade pendant.
Su He Shizi, on He Yan's other side, poked his head out and smiled. This jade pendant was priceless; judging by its quality, it was a top-grade magic treasure. No wonder Rong He Shizi's child had such good taste.
Su He Shizi looked at He Yan. The child likes it.
Rong Juan, holding Rong Yang, glanced over. "You don't want what you should, but you ask He Yan for everything you shouldn't. Fu Bao isn't He Yan's child, yet you ask for this and that. Because He Yan gave Fu Bao things, Rong Yang is ignoring He Yan now."
"Now it's even worse. My son, Rong Chi, has actually joined the fray."
Rong Juan glanced at He Yan with a half-smile. "Why does every child ask He Yan for things?" Rong Juan chuckled. "When did He Yan's fate change to this? Everyone is eating off the rich."
Qin He and Fu Bao stood together. Fu Bao looked up expectantly, waiting for the kitchen's boiled melon seeds. Qin He's lips turned down in disdain. "Knowing how to ask for things at such a young age. Truly Qin Bi's child, just like Qin Bi. So petty."
He Yan wouldn't give away this jade pendant. He only said, "I'll give you a high-grade demon beast crystal later."
A high-grade demon beast crystal. He Yan was generous enough; giving one away for no reason. Rong Chi tilted his small head. He knew what demon beast crystals were; his father and older brother both had them.
The little milk bun reached out his small hand: "Crystal."
Su He Shizi laughed and said to He Yan, "Just give it to him."
He Yan simply took a high-grade demon beast crystal from his storage bag. It was crimson, a fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal. Everyone gasped; only fierce demon beasts possessed such a thing.
Rong Chi quickly grabbed it and stretched his small body to hand it to Rong Yang: "Older brother, keep it safe."
Rong Yang understood Rong Chi's words. His younger brother wanted him to keep it safe for now, as he would ask for it later. Rong Yang didn't want to deal with He Yan, this father, anymore, and didn't want the things either, but his younger brother liked it, so Rong Yang took it.
Qin He lowered her head in anger and glared fiercely at Rong Yang and Rong Chi.
Rong Juan sneered coldly. Qin He was startled, quickly hid her expression, and smiled, saying, "A fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal is very rare. Children can't use it. He He Shizi, just give the children something edible."
Rong Juan glanced sideways at Qin He: "Your Fu Bao and Xue Rui can't use it either."
Qin He choked. Xue He Shizi was stunned. Was a fire-element demon beast crystal so easy to get? He was envious. The Xue Wang Fu hadn't received high-grade demon beast crystals from Yan Guogong Fu for a long time.
Xue He Shizi felt his relationship with He He Shizi was good, so he should get one even more. He climbed the pole, asking He Yan: "He He Shizi, is there another fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal? Give one to our Xue Rui as well."
He Yan turned his head, looked at the cheerful Xue He Shizi, and said, "None left."
Xue He Shizi was disappointed, but then thought of something and added, "When you get high-grade demon beast crystals later, remember to give one to our Xue Rui. If there are extras, give one to Fu Bao too."
Su He Shizi raised an eyebrow. "Wow, do you have the nerve to ask like that?"
If it were before, it wouldn't matter much. After all, He He Shizi had no children, so he would give a demon beast crystal to any child he found pleasing. But now, He He Shizi has his own biological children.
Qin Yan didn't care. He He Shizi had always taken care of Qin He; giving one high-grade demon beast crystal wasn't a big deal.
When Qin He was pregnant, she needed heavenly treasures and earthly herbs to nourish her. Every time He Yan went to the demon beast world's small space, he collected many good things, which all ended up benefiting Qin He.
He Yan smiled almost imperceptibly and scolded playfully: "Xue Qing, don't push your luck."
Xue He Shizi smiled and said, "Just raise my son as your own. And our Fu Bao too. They are all your children. You can't favor Rong Yang and ignore Fu Bao and Xue Rui just because you have Rong Yang."
Everyone was sharp; they understood immediately. The Xue family wanted to fight for a share.
Qin Yan looked at Rong Yang. At this time, only Rong Yang himself could fight for things from Yan Guogong Fu. Rong Yang opened his small storage bag, put the fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal away for his younger brother, knowing his brother would ask for it later.
Qin Yan thought, "This child is still young; he hasn't seen through Xue Wang Fu's intentions."
"Little He Shizi," Su He Shizi teased the little milk bun Rong Chi. "You earned a fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal for free."
Rong Chi, in a baby voice, said, "Earned it."
Several He Shizi were amused by the child. Qin He pouted and rolled her eyes again.
Fu Bao lowered her head, hesitating whether to ask for a fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal too. For this past year, Yan Guogong Fu hadn't given her much; clearly, everything should have been hers, Fu Bao's.
She had good fortune; everyone should like her and give her whatever she asked for.
The little interlude passed, and everyone began to chat casually.
Qin He kept saying high-grade demon beast crystals were rare: "Killing high-grade demon beasts in the demon beast world's small space is a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Every high-grade demon beast crystal is hard to come by."
Rong Juan's expression was indifferent: "I remember you used to get several high-grade demon beast crystals very easily, given by He He Shizi. Qin He, your memory is really bad. You received so many good things and forgot them all."
Qin He: "..."
Qin Yan and Su He Shizi said nothing. "She deserves it." Who hadn't heard Qin He's pained tone? She probably considered everything from Yan Guogong Fu to be hers. A fire-element demon beast crystal made her feel this much pain.
Rong Yang never ignored He Yan, but the child paid attention to the younger brother in He Yan's arms.
The little milk bun got a fire-element high-grade demon beast crystal but still kept holding the jade pendant, refusing to let go. When He Yan and Qin Yan spoke, the child cherished the jade pendant.
"Like it," the little milk bun looked up, gazing at He Yan.
He Yan: "..."
Qin He couldn't help but say, "This jade pendant is a magic treasure. Children shouldn't take such precious things. Neither our Xue Rui nor Fu Bao wants it."
Rong Chi, acting like a little green tea, had tears in his eyes. He turned to find Rong Juan: "Rong Chi wants it."
Rong Juan felt heartache, but heartache couldn't snatch He He Shizi's jade pendant. Rong Juan said, "It's not ours. Come here. Father's jade pendant is for you. Your eyesight is bad. He He Shizi doesn't like children; why are you looking for him?"
Rong Juan didn't forget to mock He Yan at this moment. Rong Chi didn't move, holding the jade pendant and lowering his head. Rong Juan and Rong Yang were startled. Rong Juan acted quickly, grabbing the jade pendant before the little milk bun could bite it.
