Chapter 35

On the day the training expedition set out, two cloud clusters flew through the dark clouds.

Rong Juan watched with disdain. Qin Bi, holding the child, thought of something as she gazed at the cloud clusters and turned to ask Rong Juan, "Which beast realm small space is Qin He's child going to?"

Rong Juan glanced at her, "The beast realm small space you went to before."

Qin Bi narrowed her eyes slightly and summoned the auspicious cloud that the beast realm small space had given her. This cloud was not large; after all, Qin Bi had only summoned a light rain, so giving her a small auspicious cloud was already a generous gesture.

Rong Yuan saw it and spoke in a milky baby voice, "Ya, ya~"

The proud auspicious cloud was curious about the child. As the child reached out with tiny hands, the cloud floated closer.

Rong Juan watched silently. Qin Bi told the auspicious cloud, "Return to your initial-level beast realm small space. You know where I plant things. Dig up all the soil and bring it back to me."

Rong Juan raised an eyebrow. Qin Bi paid it no mind; having a child between them was enough.

Didn't they say she was too scheming? Fine, Qin Bi was indeed scheming. She took out the storage bag she had brought earlier and handed it to the auspicious cloud, "A child who swallowed two auspicious clouds is going to the beast realm small space for training. I won't let people get something for free. You dig it up. Later, when her training ends, you can return the soil. I have no covetous intentions."

The auspicious cloud didn't quite understand; it was still very small. But it knew Qin Bi held no ill will toward the beast realm small space.

The small cluster of auspicious clouds spun around in front of Rong Yuan and left with the storage bag.

Qin Bi took the child back, glanced at the cloud clusters dispersing in the dark clouds, and a hint of mockery crossed her lips. Just wait. She didn't know if there was any significance to the clouds appearing in the dark clouds, but in this world where fortune and luck were paramount, someone would surely think it extraordinary.

"Ya~" Rong Yuan turned his little head, looking for the auspicious cloud.

"Looking for your summoned auspicious cloud?" Qin Bi spoke to the child with a smile, her eyes and brows gentle, "It went home for a visit and will be back soon. When it returns, it will be yours. The summoned auspicious cloud will play with you in the future."

The child didn't understand, flapping his tiny hands and feet.

Seeing this, Qin Bi felt joy and giggled.

After visiting the beast realm small space, her lifespan had likely been restored. With the heart-not-the-god feeling fading away, watching Rong Yuan babbling in his tiny voice, Qin Bi felt inexplicably happy.

Seeing the mother and child playing happily, Rong Juan went to the palace and delivered a bag of sweet potato spiritual food. The Great Yan Emperor was once again brotherhood with Rong Juan.

Now that they were reconciled, it was time to review memorials. The Great Yan Emperor was truly impatient with handling court affairs.

Sometimes Qin Bi wondered, how could the Great Yan Emperor trust He Yan and Rong Juan so much? Wasn't he worried about them usurping the throne? Even with high fortune values, one couldn't be so careless.

If it were her, she wouldn't feel safe.

No matter how loyal the subjects were, she wouldn't feel safe. Was the emperor's position just any seat? Since ancient times, for the sake of the throne, a general's success was built on the bones of ten thousand. One either didn't sit on the imperial throne, or once seated, one could not tolerate anyone else nearby.

Of course, she couldn't be an emperor anyway; she didn't have the fate for it.

Summer was getting hotter. Qin Bi crushed spiritual fruit to feed Rong Yuan. Beside them was a basin of ice. Ice was very expensive in ancient times; ordinary families couldn't afford it. Since crossing over, Qin Bi had only been able to use ice this year.

Back then, Qin Bi had been somewhat distracted. He Yan had also sent her ice, but later, for some reason, it ended up with Qin He. When He Yan found out, he sent more, but Qin Bi gave it to her legitimate mother.

After feeding the little one, Qin Bi held him and strolled around the courtyard.

As expected, on the day Qin He's child set out for training, two cloud clusters appeared in the dark clouds, and people immediately said the child had great luck, even having auspicious clouds escorting them on their training journey.

The Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture felt honored, and the second branch valued Qin He even more.

Qin He returning to her maiden home had become a common occurrence. The generation of Qin Yan and the generation of Marquis Qin Yan were also promising. Since the entire family became a cultivation family, except for the useless ones, everyone was actively cultivating.

For this trip to the beast realm small space, Qin Yan and several others went as well.

Jiang Shi, Qin Tang's wife, came to visit Qin Bi. Looking at the young heir, she thought he was handsome in every way. She brought up the affairs of the Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture, "Now, every branch is currying favor with the second branch, hoping Qin He will leak a few resources from her fingertips. That would be enough for them to cultivate."

Qin Bi showed no emotion, cooing to the child, "People strive for higher ground, water flows to lower ground. That's correct."

Jiang Shi inquired, "I see that the young heir Rong Juan values the little heir very much."

Qin Bi couldn't answer. Rong Juan doted on the child, that was undeniable. She couldn't compare to how much Rong Juan cared about the child. Since Rong Yuan was born, Rong Juan had never entrusted his care to anyone else; he truly doted on him.

"Sigh." Jiang Shi observed Qin Bi's expression and breathed a sigh of relief, "You are also fortunate. The young heir's destiny does not harm you. Sometimes, fate is truly unpredictable."

The two chatted idly, had lunch, and then Jiang Shi returned home.

Qin Bi saw her off to the carriage, returned to the courtyard, and the small summoned auspicious cloud returned hanging a storage bag. The cloud was covered in soil; it had dug up all the earth and replanted the vegetation.

Upon seeing this, Qin Bi said, "You should have dug up the plants too. Now someone got something for free."

The summoned auspicious cloud was proud. Who was it trying to fool? It had worked hard to grow those plants and wouldn't take them out of the beast realm small space. Its master wanted the soil, but she also wanted the plants. Don't think you can fool it.

Unfortunately, the summoned auspicious cloud didn't have as many tricks up its sleeve as Qin Bi. Qin Bi had guessed correctly.

Half a month later, Qin He's child returned from training, along with Qin Yan and others. Everyone gained a lot from this trip. It was said that Qin He's child even found spiritual plants.

There were over a hundred of them, the plants looked lush and vibrant, with excellent quality.

Qin Bi looked at the summoned auspicious cloud. The little thing was so angry it was stomping its feet in the air, "Mine, mine! If I had known someone else would dig them up, I should have brought them out of the beast realm small space along with the soil."

It wasn't just the summoned auspicious cloud stomping its feet; Qin Bi was also furious inside.

She just didn't show it on her face.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Bi felt that in a cultivation world, one should act like one in a cultivation world. The things she planted should be destroyed rather than given to others. She and He Yan had married, and Qin He had already taken all the benefits.

Now they still wanted to take benefits from her?

If Qin He took these benefits, Qin Bi felt her lifespan would have problems again from the anger.

Her heart was clogged with anger, and Qin Bi had an idea, and it was very strong.

It was a bit far-fetched, but Qin Bi wanted to try. She was not the type to suffer losses. He Yan and Rong Juan had full luck values, so she dared not do anything. Now she was Rong Juan's wife, and Rong Juan would only protect her.

Qin Bi held the child and went to the study to find Rong Juan. When the heir Rong Juan was not in the palace, he usually cultivated, read books, and handled military affairs. It was impossible for him to be idle and lazy.

Only by thoroughly studying military strategy could one plan and strategize effectively.

Rong Juan was discussing beasts with a strategist in the study. Qin Bi made some noise and went in holding the child, "I want to go to the Qin Yan Marquis Prefecture. Should I take the child, or will you take him?"

Rong Juan didn't answer. He stood up, took Rong Yuan into his arms, and said, "You go."

Qin Bi could go, but the child would not.
