Chapter 367: Rong He Shizi Still Covets Qin He Shizi's Things
Qin Jue froze, and Qin He's legitimate younger sister blinked her eyes.
"The young heir is so delicate; he eats only spirit food," the Heir's Wife said with a smile. "We cannot afford to raise him. I recall that two years ago, when Rong He Shizi went to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm, he returned with abundant harvests each time."
Everyone recalled that whenever Rong He Shizi and He He Shizi went to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm, everyone received low-grade spirit fruits and other items sent by the two powerful heirs, along with demon beast crystals and medicinal herbs.
For those who dared not enter the small space in the Demon Beast Realm, cultivation resources were extremely precious.
"Did you find any spirit fruits this time?" Qin He's legitimate younger sister asked.
"Yes," Rong He Shizi said. "Stop coveting them; there is nothing for you."
"Why?" a young lady from the Marquis Fu coquettishly asked.
Coquetry with Rong He Shizi was useless; a man reborn through several lives had a hard heart.
Rong He Shizi asked back, "Why should I share my things with you?"
This question left the people of the Marquis Fu speechless, their faces blank. In the past, they always shared! Rong He Shizi was very generous, as was He He Shizi. Among the younger generation of the Qin Yan Marquis Fu, who had not received resources thrown to them by the two powerful heirs?
"What nonsense is this?" Qin Yan also looked surprised and spoke up. "Who asks for things with their mouths wide open? Where are the rules of your Marquis Fu?"
For the children of the Marquis Fu to ask for things with their mouths wide open was undignified.
Qin He's legitimate younger sister muttered softly, "But they always gave before! Why not this time? I really need demon beast crystals for my cultivation. If not many, just one mid-grade demon beast crystal would do."
Just as Qin Yan was about to stop Qin He's legitimate younger sister, Rong He Shizi smoothed his black heir's robe and asked, "Just because they gave before, do they owe you?"
Qin He's legitimate younger sister's eyes immediately turned red; that question was too heavy.
Now, the children of the Marquis Fu dared not ask for anything. They felt confused and somewhat disappointed, as they had already planned how to use the cultivation resources Rong He Shizi would send.
In the end, Rong He Shizi showed no intention of giving anything.
Several young ladies from the Marquis Fu exchanged glances, none understanding why.
Qin Han was even more worried. She had been counting on the resources Rong He Shizi would send for her cultivation. If only there were a few low-grade spirit fruits; her husband and child both needed these resources.
A married young lady from the Marquis Fu returned, sensed the wrong atmosphere, and felt puzzled.
"What is going on?"
"They are not distributing cultivation resources anymore."
The married young lady from the Marquis Fu was surprised. "Why?"
"Who knows why? I was counting on getting some leaked resources for cultivation, but nothing was given."
"Where is Qin He? She has influence."
"She hasn't arrived yet."
Rong He Shizi narrowed his eyes. Regarding the invitation to the Qin Yan Marquis Fu today, he finally understood what was happening. Oh, so everyone wanted to feast on the wealthy, all coveting his harvest from the small space in the Demon Beast Realm.
"Father," Rong Yang looked up.
Why did everyone take for granted that they could demand things?!
The uncles and aunts of the Qin Yan Marquis Fu should go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm to kill demons themselves. Why covet the things of the Rong Wang Fu? His own uncles had not spoken to ask for anything; on what grounds did the collateral branches dare?!
Rong He Shizi picked up Rong Yang to comfort the child.
Upon receiving the news, Qin He soon arrived at the Qin Yan Marquis Fu.
As soon as she entered, a concubine-born daughter was waiting and whispered to Qin He, "Rong He Shizi gave nothing."
Qin He felt choked up. "Qin Bi must have said something."
"That is too wicked," Qin Yan said.
Qin He lifted her skirt hem and hurried to the main hall.
As soon as Qin He arrived, everyone looked at her. The Heir's Wife smiled and called Qin He to sit. Qin He did not stand on ceremony; she sat beside the Heir's Wife, closer to Rong He Shizi, the distinguished son-in-law.
According to the seating arrangement, Qin He's position counted as a main seat.
As the Heir's Wife of the Xue Wang Fu, Qin He's status allowed her to sit in the main row. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Heir's Wife, everyone silently expected Qin He to secure cultivation resources for them.
Qin He looked at Rong He Shizi and smiled faintly, saying, "Rong He Shizi, with your fine clothes and angry horse, should be slaughtering everywhere in the small space of the Demon Beast Realm. I did not expect you to return after only two days this time."
"I heard it was for the young heir," someone added.
Qin He's eyes flashed. It was inappropriate to mention the child Rong Chi; this was Rong He Shizi's taboo. Qin He did not want to say the wrong thing and offend Rong He Shizi. The most detestable one was the Bai Lianhua, Qin Bi.
Using a child to tie down a man; Qin He despised such tactics.
"What a pity," the Heir's Wife said. "Sending troops to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm requires consuming a large high-grade teleportation array. The harvest from two days is too little."
Qin Yan glanced at the Heir's Wife and narrowed his eyes. "Rong Chi is still too young."
Qin Yan was warning the Heir's Wife to mention the little milk bun Rong Chi less. He could only be praised; not a single bad word could be said. The Heir's Wife should know her place; the Qin Yan Marquis Fu depended on the Rong Wang Fu.
"Sigh," Lady Qin Xiang sighed, feeling some heartache. "A large high-grade teleportation array, indeed."
Rong He Shizi loved his child, but how expensive was a large high-grade teleportation array! Everyone felt a bit of heartache. No wonder Rong He Shizi did not give cultivation resources to the children of the Marquis Fu; the child was too ungrateful.
They harbored these thoughts in their hearts, but no one dared to speak them aloud.
Rong He Shizi's wrath was feared deep in the hearts of the Marquis Fu's children.
Rong He Shizi and Qin Yan were discussing summoning magic treasures. Qin Yan had just obtained a summoning treasure for rain, and Rong He Shizi coveted it. The children of the Marquis Fu coveted Rong He Shizi's things, yet Rong He Shizi also coveted Qin He Shizi's things.
Qin Yan's mouth twitched. "It is merely a mid-grade summoning treasure; Rong He Shizi should not lack such things."
Rong He Shizi said, "I lack it. Give it to me."
Qin Yan: "..."
He did not want to give it. Qin Yan had worked hard to obtain a mid-grade summoning treasure, planning to use it for rain during the autumn planting. He had not even warmed it in his hands before Rong He Shizi coveted it.
"Uncle," Rong Yang said in a milky voice, "Our Rong Wang Fu lacks all kinds of summoning treasures."
Qin Yan: "..."
Qin He stopped talking to Lady Qin Xiang. Seeing Rong He Shizi and Qin Yan conversing in low voices, she hesitated. She felt she still had some face in front of Rong He Shizi. Just now, with a single sentence from her, the Heir's Wife and others had spoken critically of Rong Chi. Now, she should speak up to ask for something.
Wasn't Rong He Shizi very generous?
"Rong He Shizi," Qin He said, "I heard you obtained fruits from a spirit fruit tree guarded by a high-grade demon beast."
At Qin He's words, everyone couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. The spiritual fruits borne on the spirit fruit trees in the beast-occupied lands possess gentler spiritual energy, greatly beneficial for cultivation, and can even improve the constitution of ordinary people.
Envy flared in their eyes as they all looked at Rong He Shizi, wishing one might be given to them.
Rong He Shizi's expression remained faint. Seeing the effect was good, Qin He continued, "Could you give me three spiritual fruits? I have been ill lately and need to consume them to replenish my lost primordial energy."
Rong He Shizi sneered lightly. She dared to ask so boldly. He decisively refused, "No."
Qin He's smile froze on her face. After a moment of thought, she said, "If He He Shizi went to the small space in the Beast Realm, he would surely have given me all the spiritual fruits he picked."
