Chapter 468: The Spiritual Birds Were Delivered Right to Our Doorstep

~8 min read 1,473 words

Qin Lang turned his head, about to ask Qin Bi about the Hou Fu's fortune.

Hearing this, Qin Han immediately thought of Qin He and Fu Bao; Fu Bao was a child born after swallowing two auspicious clouds, so he must have great fortune, and Qin He was at maximum fortune level!

"The Hou Fu's fortune?" Qin Han asked.

Everyone's expression froze; Qin Han's look suggested she wasn't just asking, but had likely already allocated this fortune to Qin He in her mind. Everyone felt displeased, and their joy dimmed slightly.

"Father, Mother, the spiritual duck and spiritual vegetables were not eaten in vain," Jiang Shi said, no longer mentioning fortune, and smiled: "This is all thanks to Qin Xun, Qin Bi, and the others going to the small space in the Beast Realm to gather cultivation resources."

Without cultivation resources, how could Qin Di and his wife have entered the path of cultivation?

Qin Di nodded: "Qin Tang and the others are all good."

Qin Tan smiled and said: "You couple are fortunate."

Qin Bi pulled Qin Lang and said to the elders: "Qin Lang is good too; he carries fortune, and being with him helps find good things."

Speaking of this, Qin Bi sighed: "We ate the spiritual ducks as much as we could, consuming quite a few, yet no young spiritual ducks hatched. The more we ate, the fewer there were. If I had known, I should have snatched my eldest cousin over."

Back then, those carrying fortune were generally fortunate people and the young masters of various mansions. Qin Yan and Qin He were a team; Qin Yan could catch a batch of spiritual ducks as soon as he arrived, but Qin He repeatedly called Qin Yan away to join her team.

Who doesn't have a temper? We stopped using the Wang He Shizi and had Qin Yan join Qin He's team instead, to avoid feeling annoyed seeing Qin He.

Although later the Su He Shizi, who carried the Su Guogong Fu's fortune, joined the squad, and they still caught many spiritual ducks, now that Qin Di and his wife have entered the path of cultivation, it is clearly due to the significant effect of the spiritual ducks. We should have caught more spiritual ducks.

The spiritual birds were delivered right to our doorstep, damn it, we missed the chance.

Regretful; back then, I should have blocked Qin Yan from joining Qin He's team.

Why be so polite? Just being unnecessarily polite.

Qin Bi was angry. Qin Tang wanted to persuade Qin Bi not to be angry, but he couldn't help sighing and nodded, saying: "Indeed, we shouldn't have called the eldest cousin back. If we had seized the opportunity at the start and caught spiritual ducks in one go, perhaps we would have caught even more."

Cultivation relies on opportunities; as long as one isn't foolish, everyone understands this.

Hearing this, everyone made a mental note against Qin He.

"It's all Qin He's fault," Qin Lang said grumpily.

Qin Tan stroked his beard, showing no emotion.

Qin Han lowered her head, not daring to defend Qin He. This immense benefit was reduced because of Qin He; it was no wonder Qin Lang and the others were dissatisfied. However, Qin Han hadn't been there either, so she didn't know the situation at the time.

It was hard to say; perhaps Qin Bi and Qin He were at odds, and Qin Bi said this on purpose.

Everyone's dissatisfaction with Qin He made Qin Bi happy.

Qin Xun also regretted it, saying: "There were quite a few spiritual ducks back then."

In the main hall, adults and children gathered together in joy. Hearing that there were many spiritual ducks, they began discussing in a clamor. The children were even eager to try, wanting to go to the small space in the Beast Realm to gather cultivation resources.

"Were there many?" asked Qin Xun's legitimate son.

Qin Xun said: "So many they couldn't be caught all."

"No wonder the teleportation array transported so many at once."

Lin Shi had never heard Qin Xun mention this before; hearing it now, she couldn't help but feel excited. Thinking of the groups of spiritual ducks transported back then, the entire mansion was overjoyed.

From Qin Xun's words, it seemed many spiritual ducks had not yet been transported back.

With so many, they should all be gathered back; Lin Shi was money-minded.

Qin Lang added one last remark: "We couldn't catch them all; our numbers were small, the teleportation array wasn't powerful enough, and there were few people carrying fortune. Many spiritual ducks ran away; we caught many, but many more escaped."

The pained expressions of Qin Xun's legitimate son and Lin Shi changed. They hadn't gone to the small space in the Beast Realm and didn't know that so many spiritual ducks had escaped, missing the opportunity.

Who else felt pain besides them? Everyone else was envious of so many spiritual ducks. Hearing that many had escaped, Qin Tan tried not to show a pained expression, but deep down, he made a mental note.

When he had a moment, Qin Tan went to the courtyard of the old Qin Yan Hou.

By this time, the old Qin Yan Hou already knew that Qin Di and his wife had entered the path of cultivation. Naturally, the old Marquis was happy. Qin Tan said: "The spiritual ducks caught last time had gentle spiritual energy, beneficial for beginner cultivators. We could have caught more."

Qin Tan narrowed his eyes and told the old Qin Yan Hou: "Qin He called Qin Yan away, reducing the opportunities significantly."

Qin Yan Hou entered the room with Qin Yan, and Qin Di followed shortly after.

The old Qin Yan Hou said to Qin Yan: "In the future, when going to the small space in the Beast Realm, do not follow Qin He's lead. Spiritual ducks are the easiest spiritual birds to catch; they have low combat power and possess spiritual energy. This opportunity was delivered right to our doorstep, yet we caught too few."

Was the old Qin Yan Hou pained? Don't ask; he was heartbroken.

But the old Qin Yan Hou showed nothing on his face. By advising Qin Yan this way, he was also telling Qin Yan Hou and the others that Qin He caused trouble this time. Could anyone catch spiritual ducks? Because of Qin He, we caught too few.

Qin Yan nodded: "Indeed, we lost the opportunity."

Qin Yan knew best how many spiritual ducks there were. A flock of spiritual ducks ran out from the sand, impossible to catch all. Other cultivators never encountered such a thing; we happened upon this opportunity, yet many spiritual ducks still escaped.

"You," Qin Yan Hou said, "carry the Hou Fu's fortune; you must act decisively."

Qin Yan replied: "I have noted it."

The matter was dropped; regretting it wouldn't bring back the spiritual ducks.

With He Shi suddenly able to enter the path of cultivation, the entire Hou Fu rejoiced. Qin Yan Hou's wife and the Wang Rong Shizifei came to the fourth courtyard to congratulate He Shi, and the women sat down to talk.

Shortly after, the Second Lady and the Fifth Lady also arrived. He Shi was in a good mood.

The Fifth Lady was envious. Qin He had come with the Second Lady. She wanted to say it might be her fortune; look, since she came to the Hou Fu, Qin Di and his wife could enter the path of cultivation.

However, no one mentioned fortune or luck, so Qin He didn't dare bring it up herself.

"The children in your fourth branch are all good," the Fifth Lady, who knew how to handle social situations, said with a smile, glancing at her own illegitimate daughter: "When will the children in our fifth branch gather cultivation resources for me? That would make me content."

The illegitimate daughters lowered their heads; they still lacked cultivation resources themselves.

The smile on the Fifth Lady's face faded slightly; she truly envied He Shi.

"Spiritual ducks are easy to catch," Qin Yan Hou's wife said. "Not everyone has such an opportunity."

Qin He took the chance to hint: "We also went to the small space in the Beast Realm that time; everyone was in the same small space in the Beast Realm."

The ladies were not foolish; none of them took up the topic.

Only the Second Branch's legitimate daughter, Qin Yuan, chimed in: "Yes, Sister Qin He was also in that small space in the Beast Realm."

Unfortunately, still no one responded. To say that Qin He brought the fortune was something even someone with thin skin wouldn't dare to utter.

Seeing this, Qin He smiled and said again: "Fourth Aunt, you still have spiritual ducks on your manor, right?"
