Chapter 531: Still Need to Save Baskets

Qin Bi was a young lady of the Marquis Manor; she didn't lack food or clothing, let alone fine silks and delicacies.

At this moment, Qin Bi was squatting by the icy stream. The stream was very shallow. She picked up a few field snails to check their quality; the shells were hard, and the shell patterns were smooth. The few snails she picked were large and small, and they looked excellent.

Qin Bi smiled and said: "I want these snails for myself; I won't give them to anyone."

After saying this, Qin Bi froze.

In her previous life, she had said this when she was a child. She didn't understand when she was young, but when she grew up, she realized it was because she had extreme distrust of her parents, fearing they would give things away to others.

In her previous life, she had a pair of spineless parents who were people-pleasers.

She couldn't think about it anymore. This life was very good; her father and brothers could stand up for her, and even her legal mother wasn't a pushover and could stop associating with her maiden family for her sake. That was enough; why think about her previous life?

Qin Bi's tears rolled down; she felt aggrieved. In her previous life, she had suffered grievances.

Her parents didn't protect her. With Qin Bi's personality, being a spineless person was so hard.

Being spineless was innate. Trying to turn a strong person into a spineless one—Qin Bi still felt aggrieved in this life. Qin Lang and Lin Yao saw it as soon as they looked up. Qin Lang hurriedly went over to coax her.

"Jiejie," Qin Lang asked, "what's wrong?"

Qin Lang didn't even dare to wipe Qin Bi's tears; her heart wasn't focused, and the more he coaxed, the more she cried.

"It's nothing," Qin Bi smiled helplessly. "My heart isn't focused."

Qin Lang stayed with Qin Bi for a while. Taking advantage of this, Lin Yao moved rocks into the small stream. Qin Bi saw it and called Qin Lang to step on the rocks together to scoop up field snails from the water.

Spiritual food field snails were different from ordinary ones; they were clean, and there were no aquatic plants in the stream in winter.

Scooping up a handful and putting it into the basket, they worked for a long time. Qin Bi, Qin Lang, and Lin Yao scooped this section clean and dragged the basket to move a bit. There were many field snails in the water, and they really did scoop up a whole basket.

Qin Bi was in a great mood, and she threw away thoughts of her previous life from her mind.

She didn't know how this basket was woven, but it didn't leak water. Lin Yao and Qin Lang added some water to the basket to keep the snails from dying. Only then did Qin Bi truly feel the benefits of saving up family assets; this basket was indeed good.

"When I have time, I still need to save up baskets!" Qin Bi said.

"That will have to wait until after the Red Flame Festival," Lin Yao said. "Is the Heir Apparent's wife going too?"

Qin Bi nodded: "Going."

Lin Yao was dazed for a moment; the little Heir Apparent followed the Heir Apparent's wife, especially the little Heir Apparent Rong Chi.

There were still field snails in the stream. Qin Bi took out another large basket from her storage bag. Why? Because there were also shrimp and small fish in the stream. She caught them all, caught a few types, added some water to the basket, and the basket was full again.

Lin Yao and Qin Lang picked up the leftovers and searched; each found three to five jin of field snails.

Qin Bi didn't want these. Lin Yao and Qin Lang laughed. Qin Bi was so money-minded, not because she was greedy, but mainly because there were children at home. Qin Bi doted on the children very much; this point was beyond doubt.

Perhaps it was because Qin Bi had been told by a mystic arts master that she would have no children in this life that she doted on children so much.

Next, Lin Yao and Qin Lang were both numb. In the middle of winter, Qin Bi even found many spiritual food mushrooms. You say this, this—luck is also biased. Lin Yao even doubted who was the one with the max level fortune value?!

Coming to this small space in the Beast Realm this time, the harvest was not small.

In the following days, the Heir Apparent Su's team and Qin Tan's team scraped the ground like they were peeling it; they dug up everything they could eat. There were many sweet potato vines, but not every one had spiritual sweet potatoes underneath.

Just play; dig vine by vine. Everyone came to the small space in the Beast Realm to collect things, so what did it matter what they dug?

Those with good luck could dig up a small basket of spiritual sweet potatoes in a day; in terms of count, there were about fifty or so. Those with bad luck only dug up a dozen or so spiritual sweet potatoes a day.

Even so, the third branch's little concubine-born son and Jiang Xu were content.

The youth's face was flushed: "I dug up quite a lot."

The young master of the Su Guogong Manor shouted: "You call this quite a lot? You only dug up a few."

Then, the young master of the Su Guogong Manor began to show off—this one dug up how much, that one dug up how much. Spiritual sweet potatoes could be taken out to show off, but little sweet radishes were hard to show off.

Why? There wasn't much left to eat.

"I didn't see it usually," Qin Xun said to Qin Tang. "The Su Guogong Manor is full of foodies."

Qin Tang said: "Foodies have good fortune."

That was true, Qin Xun nodded. If they didn't have good fortune, they wouldn't be with them. The luck of the two teams gathered together was simply awesome. Everyone was in a great mood, full of joy.

Qin Bi didn't say a word, her eyes fixed on the plants on the ground. There were little sweet radishes, she dug them; she saw vines, she dug them. Almost every vine had several spiritual sweet potatoes underneath.

Yes, it wasn't one spiritual sweet potato per vine; one vine grew several spiritual sweet potatoes.

Qin Bi didn't dare to make a sound. She dug one and threw it into her storage bag. The more she dug, the more active she became. Rong Yang and Rong Chi liked to eat spiritual food; if she dug up more spiritual sweet potatoes, the children would definitely be happy.

Other cultivation teams weren't blind either; they dug up the vines, and they also looked for them.

They took hoes to dig, but they didn't dig up anything.

It was just strange.

"Digging for fun?"

"Those who come to the small space in the Beast Realm are all here to collect things."

Therefore, it was impossible to dig vines for fun.

This team didn't give up; they dug whenever they saw a vine, but they didn't dig up anything. This team gave up and left. Later, other teams saw the dug vines and also started digging, but they didn't dig up anything.

He He Shizi Apparent Su's team and Qin Tan's team had dug up most of the vines. Qin Bi said: "Let's go back."

He He Shizi Apparent Su and Qin Tan discussed it. Qin Tan said: "Let's dig a bit more and go back in the late afternoon."

It wasn't noon yet. When the Second Young Master Su and the others heard this, they naturally wanted to collect as much as possible, so they ran off in a hurry. Qin Bi didn't look for anything anymore; she was tired, and she had already found quite a lot.

In order to collect more things, no one ate lunch.

The third branch's little concubine-born son dug up a few more spiritual sweet potatoes, rare and happy. The young masters of the Su Guogong Manor didn't look for anything else; they just looked for little sweet radishes to dig, eating one as they dug one.

He He Shizi Apparent Su was angry: "Foodies, save a few."

The young master of the Su Guogong Manor patted his storage bag: "Saved them."

Then, he still ate one as he dug one.

Qin Lang and Rong Yan weren't old either; seeing them eat made them greedy, so they followed and ate. See? Following foodies made them foodies too. Fortunately, Qin Lang and Rong Yan had saved some little sweet radishes.

They were leaving now, so eating what they dug didn't matter.

If they hadn't saved a single one and were eating as they dug, Qin Tan would have had to speak up.

In the late afternoon, before leaving the small space in the Beast Realm, Qin Bi said to the Heir Apparent Su: "We relied on luck this time and had a good harvest. After going back, Heir Apparent Su, don't say we were in a team with you, and don't say what our team harvested."

"Why?" He He Shizi Apparent Su was puzzled.

Qin Bi looked at the Heir Apparent Su: "I don't want anyone to say that our team's big harvest was due to her luck."

He He Shizi Apparent Su: "......" ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
