Chapter 522: Qin He Shizi Carries the Fortune of Qin Yan Hou Fu

~8 min read 1,447 words

Qin Bi's lifespan had just been restored after being damaged; the fire must keep burning, and Qin Lang obediently followed.

More and more groups arrived, some looking wretched, likely having fought beasts; several cultivators in this group were injured, some lightly, some severely, but none were dead.

Qin Lang returned with firewood, startled; since joining the training in the small space of the Beast Realm, he had never seen a group so wretched, though he had heard rumors of groups suffering heavy casualties.

There was no choice; it was too smooth.

After witnessing this group's wretched state today, Qin Lang became much subdued; he put down the firewood, walked to Qin Bi, and said, "Sister, our cultivation base is insufficient; luckily, we did not kill beasts of high combat stages."

Otherwise, we would not be much stronger than this group.

In fact, we might have lost a few members.

"Rest assured," Qin Bi smiled faintly, stating with certainty, "We have good luck."

This inexplicable confidence was something Qin Bi possessed in her previous life.

Qin Lang nodded; this group settled down to rest, and only after Su He Shizi and Lin Yao went to inquire did they learn that the group had killed a high-stage beast; to say they were not envious would be a lie.

Although injured, they still had gains.

This beast was a delicious one; Second Young Master Su was envious.

Upon seeing this, Qin Bi said to Second Young Master Su, "Tomorrow we will continue gathering supplies."

Let's agree first; do not go back on your word.

Su He Shizi carries the fortune of the Su Guogong Fu; Qin Bi very much wanted to team up with Su He Shizi, just as Qin He followed Qin Yan on every mission, truly gaining good rewards each time.

Qin He claimed it was her good fortune; heh, Qin Bi scoffed, let's say so, but she believed more in the fortune of Qin He Shizi; in a cultivation world where fortune and luck are paramount, Qin Bi did not believe a truly lucky person would be inferior to a transmigrator with a cheat.

Qin He was a later transmigrator, not one born into this world.

Second Young Master Su hesitated: "I want to kill high-stage beasts to get meat for the Red Flame Festival."

If he wanted to kill high-stage beasts, he would surely urge Su He Shizi to go.

Qin Bi, helpless, told him, "Following us brings good luck; we haven't even dug up the spiritual energy sweet potatoes yet; searching might yield many. If you go to kill high-stage beasts, we will dig up all the places with sweet potato vines."

Then you won't be able to find any to dig up later.

Second Young Master Su: "..."

Second Young Master Su had forgotten about the spiritual energy sweet potatoes; once Qin Bi reminded him, he immediately became reluctant; killing high-stage beasts carries casualties, while digging spiritual energy sweet potatoes only requires careful handling.

Of course, luck is still needed; without good luck, you won't find sweet potatoes.

"Let's search first tomorrow," Second Young Master Su said in a low voice. "If we can't dig up a few spiritual energy sweet potatoes, we can go kill high-stage beasts later; digging for a day is about enough time."

Qin Tan's group wanted to join Su family's group; accompanying them for a day of digging would be sufficient.

They are all relatives; we are not just leaving them behind.

Qin Bi nodded: "Agreed."

As long as many spiritual energy sweet potatoes are dug up, even if Second Young Master Su's group wants to leave, they probably won't; after all, each family came to the Beast Realm's small space to gather supplies, aiming for a good Red Flame Festival.

Without any gains, wouldn't the trip be in vain?

If they truly find nothing, Qin Tan's group would feel too embarrassed to forcibly hold Su He Shizi back from leaving.

This is because they know the vines might be sweet potato vines; they don't look like it, but sweet potatoes can be dug from beneath the vines; digging up even one sweet potato gives them some confidence to keep people around.

If they truly find nothing, Su He Shizi will stay for a day leading the group, and then they must let them go.

Forcing them to stay together; do you give them anything? They are preparing for the Red Flame Festival, hoping for a prosperous one; preventing them from leaving just because of your calculations makes no sense, does it?

So, the bargaining chips are those vines.

Second Young Master Su walked over to Su He Shizi, and the two spoke; Su He Shizi said, "Stay with them for a couple more days; they are all relatives, and it would be wrong to ignore them; our group's strength is greater."

Second Young Master Su nodded: "That works."

The roasted meat was ready, filling the air with fragrance; everyone was hungry, so they sliced the roasted meat and ate.

Qin Di cut a piece of tender beast meat; Qin Lang took it to eat with Qin Bi. After the meal, Qin Xun, Second Young Master Su, and Rong Yan went to inquire with other groups; their group hadn't killed a single beast, showing they had little gain, so other groups were too lazy to inquire.

However, someone who knew Su He Shizi came over to chat for a bit.

A young master from a noble family turned and looked around, asking, "You are with Qin He's group? Why haven't we seen Qin He Shizi?"

"No," Su He Shizi said. "This is the group led by County Magistrate Qin."

Upon hearing this, the young master from the noble family understood; it was Qin Tan from the third branch.

The young master immediately greeted Qin Tan, showing respect to a junior, and the few of them began chatting; their group wanted to kill flame beasts to play with for the children at home, as elders also enjoy lively gatherings.

"Sigh," the young master from the noble family said. "We searched all day and only found one flame beast, and its fur was pale gray; even when its scales bristled, the commotion was small, not as beautiful as the colorful ones."

Su He Shizi: "..."

It would be strange if you found one; the flame beasts in this area have been pretty much swept up.

Qin Tan and Lin Yao exchanged a glance, pretending not to know why only one flame beast was found; they had a summoning magic treasure that suppressed lightning, which they certainly could not reveal; if the other party wanted to use it or kill flame beasts together, it would be hard to refuse.

It is better to pretend to know nothing; playing dumb is something everyone can do.

Second Young Master Su nodded: "Finding one flame beast is already good."

A young man accompanying the noble young master asked, "You haven't found even one flame beast?"

If they hadn't found even one, his heart would feel balanced.

Second Young Master Su was stunned; Su He Shizi looked at the fire, showing no expression.

Lin Yao threw a piece of firewood: "Finding anything relies on luck."

Qin Di nodded in agreement: "Yes, finding a flame beast with good fur is not easy either."

Second Young Master Su: "..."

Everyone was lying with their eyes open.

"We didn't find a single one," Second Young Master Su said.

The young man felt better inside and smiled, saying, "At least we found one and killed it."

Second Young Master Su said insincerely, "Your luck is quite good."

The young master nodded and grinned, his earlier gloom largely dispelled; compared to Su Er Young Master and the two Qin family groups, his luck was indeed quite good. Hadn't they heard that the others hadn't found a single one?

Qin Bi, standing nearby, shared a silent laugh with Qin Lang.

People are just like that; they feel at ease when others cannot match them.

"We thought Su He Shizi and Qin He Shizi were in the same group," the young master said. "Didn't they say that Xue Rong Shizifei Qin He has full-level fortune? Being in a group with her brings good luck, and perhaps we could find something good."

Su He Shizi brushed it off: "We didn't meet Qin He Shizi."

After chatting for a while longer, the noble young master took his younger brother and left.

Qin Han no longer used the summoning magic treasure to search for Qin Tang and Qin Di. Qin Bi thought for a moment; perhaps Qin He and the others had made a good harvest.
