Chapter 502

Qin Bi's fighting spirit value has now stabilized, but her cultivation base cannot keep up with Qin He's.

Qin Bi has only just entered the path of cultivation, while Qin He started long ago and is even a disciple of the Immortal Sect, receiving its protection. In the small beast realm space, the strong are respected, and those with poor relations often choose to fight there.

Qin He's cultivation base is considered high within the Hou Fu, second only to the Qin He Shizi.

To be precise, Qin He's cultivation base is actually above the Qin He Shizi's. Why? Because Qin He has abundant cultivation resources; even the He He Shizi has given her quite a few.

With the Hou Fu in decline, the Qin He Shizi does not have so many cultivation resources. He possesses fewer magic treasures than Qin He does. Qin Di has concerns; in his view, if Qin He goes, Qin Bi should not.

Qin Di said, "Qin He has a high cultivation base."

"Can we discuss this with Third Uncle?" Qin Bi pondered. "We should go separately from Qin He."

Qin Di considered that Qin He has high fortune value and many magic treasures; everyone likes to go to the small beast realm space with her.

He himself had no issue, naturally siding with his own child, but he would need to ask Qin Tan, as everyone had been planning to follow the Hou Fu group to collect a few things casually.

During the Red Flame Festival, as a cultivation family, collecting a few items would allow them to interact with other cultivation families sooner. Having something presentable would prevent them from looking too shabby during the festival.

Why couldn't Qin Tan get along in the county office? Because the Hou Fu was in decline and had not previously been a cultivation family, while the Assistant County Magistrate's family was respectable, so they naturally refused to accept Qin Tan as the County Magistrate.

Qin Di said, "Ask your Third Uncle."

Qin Lang walked out: "I will go call my father."

Qin Lang went to the front courtyard to find Qin Tan. In the study, a servant served tea.

Qin Di asked Qin Bi, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the small beast realm space?"

"I want to get something for Rong Juan and Rong Chi." Qin Bi lifted her tea bowl, holding it to warm her hands. "Today, the young prince asked if I had prepared new clothes for Rong Juan and Rong Chi. I thought, why not go to the small beast realm space? I'm not talking about the low-level beast realm space. With low cultivation, isn't luck important? I have fortune, so my luck should be extremely good."

Qin Di laughed in exasperation: "Why are you like Qin He, boasting shamelessly and claiming you have good fortune?"

Qin Bi took a sip of tea: "Having good fortune myself is better than Qin He having it."

Focusing the fortune on oneself is better than constantly saying Qin He has fortune. Otherwise, you might end up increasing Qin He's fortune value. It's better to say you have fortune whenever there's an opportunity.

Speaking auspicious words to oneself never hurts.

Qin Di also lifted his tea bowl to drink, asked about the two little Little Tuanzi, and Qin Bi smiled, chatting about the little milk Little Tuanzi: "They went to court. Being so small, what could they do there? Rong Chi can be quite a handful."

"That is being clever," Qin Di said.

Qin Bi smiled. Qin Di said, "When you go to the small beast realm space, just collect some spiritual plants for the children. If your Third Uncle and Qin He separate from us to form their own team, I will instruct your two legitimate elder brothers to help you find spiritual plants."

Qin Bi smiled with pursed lips; it is good to have fathers and brothers protecting you.

Qin Tan and Qin Lang came from the front courtyard, and Qin Tang and Qin Xun also returned. A servant threw two pieces of charcoal into the stove and left. Qin Xun handed a handful of melon seeds to Qin Bi.

"Taken from the front courtyard living room," Qin Xun said, giving them all to Qin Bi.

Qin Bi was not a child, but since her brother had brought them for her, she smiled and reached out to take them: "Are they tasty?"

"Salty," Qin Xun replied, not saying whether they were good or bad. In the Hou Fu, these were good things. "My eldest cousin brought them from his maternal grandfather's house. They are ordinary spiritual melon seeds among the low-level spiritual melon seeds."

The Hou Fu had no spiritual melon seeds, not even ordinary ones.

Otherwise, Qin Xun would not have grabbed a handful of melon seeds for his sister to eat.

Qin Xun had children of his own, yet he didn't save any for them.

Qin Tan sat down and chatted with Qin Di for a few moments before asking Qin Bi, "You want to go to the small beast realm space?"

"Yes," Qin Bi replied. "I don't want to go with Qin He."

"Your mind hasn't been focused on the children these past two years; you haven't prepared anything for them. It was all the Rong He Shizi who prepared things." Qin Tan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "If you don't go with Qin He, then don't. This year, you really should prepare something for the children. I see if we can kill a small beast with good fur to make a pair of little boots for them. If we can't find a small beast, ask Qin Tang and the others to accompany you to collect spiritual plants. Giving the children a few spiritual plants is also fine."

Qin Bi blinked; this was an agreement.

Not only did he agree, but from what Third Uncle said, it didn't matter if they collected things for themselves; the main point was to accompany her in collecting spiritual plants and hunting a small beast with good fur. Qin Tan was truly doing his utmost to support Rong Juan and Rong Chi.

Qin Bi felt warmth in her heart. If they only accompanied her to collect things, during the Red Flame Festival, Third Uncle and the others would still have nothing presentable to offer, making it hard to socialize with other cultivation families.

During the Red Flame Festival, if you can't bring out any decent gifts, how can you socialize with others?

Qin Bi felt warm inside, and Qin Di was also grateful to his elder brother. Qin Tan was planning for his children. The good relationship between the two brothers showed itself at this moment. Qin Lang even changed Qin Bi's tea to a fresh hot cup.

"When do we depart?" Qin Di asked.

Qin Tan asked Qin Tang and the others, "Do you all have summoning magic treasures?"

Qin Tang turned his head, and Qin Xun and the others nodded: "Yes."

"Not many," Qin Lang said. "We only have one combat-type summoning magic treasure left."

Qin Tang said, "Me too."

Qin Tan did not sigh. The Hou Fu lacked a foundation; only the Second Branch was wealthy.

"We depart early tomorrow morning." Qin Tan looked at Qin Bi.

"Good," Qin Bi nodded. "I will go back and tell the He Shizi."

Qin Tan finished his warm tea, stood up, and said, "I will also go tell your Eldest Uncle. We won't join your eldest cousin's team. They might depart for the small beast realm space a bit later."

Qin Xun also prepared to leave: "I will go ask if Rong Yan and Jiang Xu are going."

Qin Tang said, "I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to ask when the teleportation array to the small beast realm space will operate."

Everyone went their separate ways, while Qin Lang followed Qin Bi and went nowhere else.

Qin Bi originally wanted her father to tell the legitimate mother, so she could return to the Rong Wang Fu, but she hesitated, feeling it was inappropriate. Instead, she went to He Shi's courtyard to see He Shi. He Shi knew she was going to the small beast realm space and told her to get busy.

Qin Bi returned to the Rong Wang Fu and waited at home for the Rong He Shizi to return from court.

The Rong He Shizi did not return home for a long time. Why? After court, he took the children to the palace to mooch a meal. Why not eat for free? With the Red Flame Festival approaching, every meal in the palace featured spiritual food.

As soon as the spiritual food was placed on the table, the little milk Little Tuanzi became anxious, fluttering about.

"Sweet dish," the little milk Little Tuanzi pointed.

The Great Yan Emperor's smile froze. This plate of spiritual vegetables was grown by the Immortal Sect. The fruit yielded in a single season was scarce. It was suitable for eating raw or as a vegetable, and especially delicious when mixed with sugar and served cold. How did the little one know how to pick the dish so well?!

The Rong He Shizi looked, then handed the little milk Little Tuanzi to the Great Yan Emperor.
