Chapter 528

~8 min read 1,541 words

Young Master Su was slightly surprised, and the young masters of the Su Guogong Manor were also taken aback.

At this moment, even if they didn't believe in fortune, they had to.

This land with flame beasts was extremely vast, boundless. The areas where cultivators often collected things didn't even have half the area of this small space in the Beast Realm.

People who killed flame beasts often came to this area.

At the very least, Young Master Su's team had been here last year.

They had all stayed in this area, yet they had failed to discover that what was growing under the vines were spiritual sweet potatoes.

And the small sweet radishes—they hadn't even seen a single one.

The vines were growing, but they didn't know that spiritual sweet potatoes were growing in the soil beneath them. After all, not every vine had spiritual sweet potatoes beneath it, and as for the small sweet radishes, they truly hadn't seen a single one.

And so, they didn't know if it was because their team was acting all mysterious, but regardless, everything that should have been dug up had been dug up. They had spiritual sweet potatoes, and small sweet radishes had popped up too, and quite a lot of them.

If this wasn't fortune, what was it? This was just good luck.

"You're a decent person." Young Master Su the Second immediately looked at Qin Bi with new respect and praised her: "Qin Bi, just for those words of yours, everyone feels comfortable. We were afraid of those who use other people's fortune without saying anything."

Since it was put that way, Qin Bi made things clear: "A fortune array has probably formed. If there is fortune, we must keep it under wraps to avoid breaking the array. Let's agree on this first: don't contact our Young Master Qin, or Qin He."

"Why?" a young master from the Su Guogong Manor asked.

Young Master Su and Young Master Su the Second exchanged a glance, and after a moment's thought, they understood the reason. Last time with the spiritual poultry, it seemed that after they returned, Qin He said it was her fortune that had allowed them to catch the spiritual poultry.

Last time, Qin Yan was running back and forth, and with Qin He saying that, it was hard to distinguish whose fortune it was.

Even though it was clear that Qin He hadn't been with them, and it was Qin Tang's team and their Su Guogong Manor team that had joined forces to catch the spiritual poultry, Qin He had maxed-out blessing points.

Some things were just hard to say.

This time, Qin Bi had directly cut ties with Young Master Qin and Qin He's team. By not letting them get involved, and with everyone not being together and not even using summoning artifacts to contact them, it would be hard for them to claim it was their fortune again.

"Heard that." Young Master Su looked at the patch of small sweet radishes, feeling good, and said to his team: "Keep this matter under wraps. We'll collect our own. This is fortune—invisible and intangible, mysterious and profound. If the fortune array dissipates because of something, we won't have this good luck anymore."

The young masters of the Su Guogong Manor said in unison: "Brother, don't worry, we aren't stupid."

Afterward, everyone scattered to dig for small sweet radishes. They first ran to Qin Tang and Rong Yan's side to take a look, and upon learning that these deceptive-looking wild vegetables were small sweet radishes, they were all stunned.

"If I had known earlier that these were small sweet radishes, I would have dug them up long ago."

"How did they grow to look like wild vegetables?"

"They really are good at deceiving people!"

After discussing for a few moments, the young masters of the Su Guogong Manor immediately went to dig.

This area was too large, very vast. Only the nearby area had these wild vegetables; there were scattered ones in the distance, but not as many as in this patch. Everyone dug quickly. The Su Guogong Manor was a great cultivation family with a deep foundation.

Therefore, after digging a few small sweet radishes, they all wanted to eat them no matter how they looked at them.

"Let me taste if they're delicious or not." Wiping one on his clothes, a young master of the Su Guogong Manor took a bite: "My heavens, it's so sweet. Eating them raw is better than spiritual sweet potatoes. You all try them."

Just because of his exclamation, those who had been eyeing them greedily simply ate one.

Eating one was a disaster; foodies couldn't save ingredients. The small sweet radishes were the size of grapes and gone in one bite, and they were so sweet that eating a few didn't satisfy the craving, so they ate while digging.

Young Master Su was so angry he gave his brother a kick: "You ate them all, you can't even save one."

The youth sat on the ground and laughed: "They're so delicious, I'm not saving them."

Young Master Su scolded him with a laugh and simply gave up. Their team and Qin Tan's team stopped worrying about each other, scattering to dig their own, with the foodies eating as they dug.

Qin Bi searched and found another place where wild vegetables grew abundantly. She dug with her small hoe and found three or five small sweet radishes, then dug again and found several more.

Qin Bi was excited and dug without a word.

Lin Yao went over to take a look and was stunned: "..."

Lin Yao was shrewd, so he also helped dig without a word, throwing them into the basket with the leaves; there was no time to pull off the leaves. Dig, dig, dig. No one was snatching them right now, but it was almost the same as if someone were, so he didn't dare to slack off.

After digging another half basket, Qin Bi called Qin Lang: "Come here."

"What for?" Qin Lang ran over and asked.

"You dig the rest." Qin Bi pointed to the ground where half a basket could still be dug.

Qin Lang saw that they were all growing side by side, and the soil he dug up still had small sweet radishes, meaning this patch was like home-grown radishes, growing plant by plant. Qin Lang's eyes lit up, and he happily started digging.

"Jiejie," Qin Lang looked at Lin Yao: "Why are you letting me dig?"

Qin Bi had dug plenty; she was giving them to Rong Yang and Rong Chi!

"Just dig," Qin Bi said, "I'll go look for more."

Qin Bi found another patch of land where the small sweet radishes grew very densely. She went back to call Qin Lang, told Lin Yao to stay and continue digging the rest, and Qin Lang followed Qin Bi to the new small sweet radish patch.

Qin Lang looked at the small sweet radishes growing plant by plant and was a bit puzzled: "Jiejie, with Young Master Su's fortune, why are we finding so many?"

"Our luck wasn't bad to begin with." Qin Bi threw this sentence at Qin Lang and began to divide the land: "We'll dig together. You dig more; don't be shy about snatching them from me, you dig more."

Qin Lang was anxious: "You dig more; you have children, why are you telling me to dig more?"

"If I tell you to dig more, then dig more." Qin Bi squatted down and began to swing her small hoe to dig the soil.

Qin Lang obeyed; his Jiejie was yielding to him. Qin Lang squatted down and dug hurriedly. Qin Bi saw that his hoe wasn't easy to use, so she gave him her small hoe, trying to let Qin Lang dig as much as possible, which moved Qin Lang deeply.

It was almost evening. After finishing this patch of land, Qin Bi had dug another full basket of small sweet radishes.

She was tired; she didn't even have the strength to hold the small hoe.

Qin Lang saw that Qin Bi had dug a whole basket of small sweet radishes from the two patches, so he took out his storage bag to show Qin Bi. But it didn't matter; Qin Lang was dumbfounded. After digging for half a day, he only had a few small sweet radishes left.

Qin Lang: "... Jiejie, the small sweet radishes I dug are gone."

Qin Bi glanced at Qin Lang's storage bag: "Your Little Five Grains Abundance Cloud ate them."

Qin Lang was startled and called out the Little Five Grains Abundance Cloud. A little dumpling the size of half a child's palm ran out. It wasn't as faint as before; the little dumpling had become more solid.

"It really ate them?" Qin Lang was surprised.

"Its spiritual energy consumption was too great." Qin Bi saw the state of the Little Five Grains Abundance Cloud and felt relieved: "The spiritual vegetables grown in the fields are low in spiritual energy, so they have little benefit for the Little Five Grains Abundance Cloud. It will be fine if we let it eat more small sweet radishes."
