Chapter 559: The Red Flame Festival

Is Qin Bi a good person? No.

As for Qin He, what a thing. Relying on her transmigration cheat, she has had a smooth ride and truly thinks she is a talented lady, but she only has a golden finger. Of course, if it does not affect Qin Bi, Qin Bi will not care what happens to Qin He.

The problem is, since Qin He transmigrated, she has always been at odds with her.

In that case, if Qin He is the cultivation great heroine, Qin Bi does not mind being a vicious supporting female character.

Seeing Qin He makes Qin Bi feel good.

If you have the ability, live your good life; Qin Bi is not envious. However, do not forget this is a cultivation world centered on fortune and luck. Qin He's inexplicably smooth ride always makes Qin Bi uneasy.

Unless Qin He's golden finger is destroyed, Qin Bi will not feel at ease.

However, Qin Bi is fixated on one thing. She is an ordinary person who has just entered the path of cultivation. Destroying a transmigrator's golden finger is not an easy task, unless she also has a golden finger.

Perhaps because Qin Bi is not some chosen great heroine, she has no golden finger. Comparing herself to Qin He, Qin Bi feels somewhat relieved; fortunately, she has no golden finger. Qin Bi does not like systems.

A system giving orders? Qin Bi will not allow it, even if it is for her own good.

"If we do not give Qin He things, Qin He will not go smoothly." Qin Lang pondered, then said, "Could it be that Qin He is draining our luck and fortune?"

He said this, yet Qin Lang himself had doubts about his own guess.

For no other reason, Qin He has great cultivation talent, is a disciple of the immortal sect, and has maxed-out fortune. Only others can benefit from her fortune; can anyone else's fortune and luck compare to Qin He's?!

If their fortune and luck are inferior to Qin He's, what use is it for Qin He to drain their fortune and luck?! That would have no effect! Yet, it is strange that Qin He has repeatedly asked for fire beast hides.

Qin Bi asked Qin Lang, "Do you believe your own words?"

Qin Lang: "..."

"But Qin He has repeatedly asked for fire beast hides." Qin Lang said, "Does sister not find it strange? Our third branch is fine; we still give her some face. The fourth branch does not even want to bother with her. Why does she rush over so eagerly?"

Getting slapped in the face by others, does that look good? What is the point?!

Qin Lang could not figure it out, so he suspected Qin He was draining fortune and luck.

Qin Bi said, "Just keep it in your own heart."

After a pause, Qin Bi said, "Do not say it. Qin He has maxed-out fortune. The fortune and luck values of the other members of our Marquis Fu are not maxed out. So, if you say Qin He is draining fortune and luck, others will mock you."

Qin Lang nodded, "I will not say it. I am not stupid."

When Qin Lang returned to the residence, everyone in Qin Yan Hou Fu was preparing for the Red Flame Festival. Every residence was doing the same, with lanterns and decorations. On the streets, even the shops were bustling. By the time the Red Flame Festival arrived, it would be even more lively.

Children held flower lanterns, running around to play.

Some wore new clothes and went out with adults to visit relatives.

Families visited each other, all dressed brightly, chatting and laughing. Children laughed and shouted on the streets. Some carried gift boxes, some recited poetry, and some even brought out flowers and plants in the dead of winter.

They placed them at the entrance of their residences for others to admire and envy.

Everywhere was bustling with laughter and joy. In the palace, it was again the day for the Red Flame Festival rewards. The Great Yan Emperor was stingy, discussing with the Prime Minister how to save money.

What to reward? The Imperial Kitchen made pastries; each court official received a few boxes.

The court officials thought they were spiritual food. Upon opening them, their noses were twisted with anger. Spiritual food? Not a single spiritual vegetable leaf. Whose idea was this? The court officials cursed the Minister of Revenue.

If they did not curse the Minister of Revenue, who else could they curse but the Great Yan Emperor?

That was impossible. Not because the Great Yan Emperor, being an emperor, could not be cursed, but because the Great Yan Emperor could be so stingy? Absolutely not. The stingy one was the Minister of Revenue, the iron rooster. The Great Yan Emperor was so good.

The ministers in court, plus the scholars and strategists, all thought the Great Yan Emperor was perfect in every way, with not a single flaw. How could the Great Yan Emperor, who had maxed-out fortune, have any flaws? The stingy one was the Minister of Revenue, that iron rooster.

Inside the Yan Guogong Fu, He He Shizi held Rong Juan, asking Rong Juan to distribute silver to the advisors and guards. Rong Juan's status was unshakable; the advisors and guards cupped their hands and thanked the young He Shizi.

Inside the Rong Wang Fu, the advisors and guards were not stupid. Like last year, they said, "We do not want silver."

Rong Juan looked down on his subordinates, holding the little Little Tuanzi, and said, "There are no big cabbages this year, nor any crisp sweet carrots. Give them silver. Without spiritual vegetables, even our Great Yan Emperor has no spiritual vegetables to reward the court officials."

Advisors: "..."

Guards: "..."

They looked at each other, still not wanting the silver.

"I will give rewards." The little Little Tuanzi said.

Rong Juan looked down at him. Lin Yao, the advisors, and the guards were stunned.

"What to reward?" Lin Yao was unsure.

Such a small little Little Tuanzi probably thought even small sweet radish leaves were good. Oh heavens, please no. The spiritual sweet potatoes and small sweet radish leaves collected from the small space in the beast realm this time were inedible.

For some reason, ordinary vines and vegetable leaves grew, yet spiritual sweet potatoes and small sweet radishes grew in the soil. The leaves were truly inedible.

The little Little Tuanzi touched his storage bag and pulled out a handful of small sweet radish candies, saying, "Come here."

Lin Yao was sharp. Seeing the small sweet radish candies, his eyes sparkled. He quickly reached out. So what if it was candy for children? It was a reward from the young He Shizi. Refusing would show a lack of sense. Miss this opportunity, and the shop would be gone.

Was it only children who loved candy? Adults loved it too; no one just gave it to them.

But now they had caught someone giving candy.

The little Little Tuanzi placed a small sweet radish candy in Lin Yao's hand. Lin Yao immediately clenched his fist and put it away.

Rong Juan: "..."

Rong He Shizi laughed in anger but did not stop the little Little Tuanzi.

Guard Yan happily approached, cupped his hands, and the little Little Tuanzi also gave him a small sweet radish candy. Fortunately, the candies were very small. Rong He Shizi and Qin Bi doted on him, and he had received half of Rong Wang's candy. One piece each was acceptable.

If there was not enough, the little Little Tuanzi also had spiritual melon seeds, giving a few to each person.

Rong He Shizi handed the little Little Tuanzi, this wasteful child, over to Lin Yao, refusing to deal with him anymore.

Lin Yao and the advisors cherished the young He Shizi. Their skills were meant to build a kingdom for this young He Shizi. Without the young He Shizi Rong Juan, they would all be working in vain. At best, Rong He Shizi would adopt a brother's child.

Was that the same? The young He Shizi Rong Juan was still the best.

The little Little Tuanzi was also proud, playing happily with the advisors and guards.

Inside Xue Wang Fu, matters of rewarding advisors and guards were handled by Xue Wang; Xue He Shizi had not yet reached that level. Qin He urged Xue He Shizi to distribute rewards together to highlight the He Shizi's status.

Xue He Shizi did not go. Qin He distributed silver to the guards, maids, and nannies in the He Shizi's courtyard. Silver was what she lacked the least.

The guards and maids thanked her and flattered Qin He.

Qin He suddenly became smug: "I am the one with power and connections, the true Princess."
