Chapter 578: She Doesn't Have More Than You

Once the Ministry of Revenue dispersed, Qin Lang rushed to the Rong Prince's Mansion.

The Rong Heir had already returned, holding Rong Chi; the little milk bun complained in a milky voice, "He won't let me go find Father."

The Rong Heir glanced at Qin Bi, and Qin Bi told the little milk bun, "I'm not playing with you anymore."

The little milk bun was dumbfounded. The Rong Heir said to him, "The Ministry of Revenue wants to seize the small space in the Beast Realm. I can't attend to you. You can come to court, but you cannot go to the Ministry of Revenue. Your elder brothers didn't go either."

Rong Yang said, "I want to go too."

The Rong Heir: "..."

The Rong Heir said, "Next time I'll take you both."

The two little buns immediately became happy. The Rong Heir reached out his hand, Rong Yang ran over, and the Rong Heir carried both little buns into the palace. The young prince followed along. The Rong Heir returned directly to his mansion from the Ministry of Revenue without yet entering the palace to report.

After the Rong Heir left, Qin Lang finally said, "Sister, Qin He keeps saying she and the He Heir will never see each other again, yet the moment the He Heir left, Qin He went to find him."

Qin Bi thought for a moment and guessed the He Heir had gone to the palace to report: "She could chase him right up to the court."

Qin Lang: "..."

That would be an enormous embarrassment!

Qin Lang then realized his sister Qin Bi was also sharp-tongued.

In the following days, all the noble families of Great Yan became busy. Those who could cultivate and those who couldn't, as long as they wanted to build up their family assets, had to go to the small space in the Beast Realm to collect things. Storage bags and teleportation arrays became scarce.

Defense tokens and summoning magic treasures were also in short supply, but storage bags counted as part of one's assets. At the very least, once you gathered items, you needed a storage bag. Trees and such couldn't fit, but medicinal herbs and spiritual plants collected had to be placed inside storage bags.

There were also teleportation arrays. After cutting down trees, it was best to have a teleportation array to send them back.

This avoided powerful figures taking notice and snatching the hard-earned collected items. In the small space of the Beast Realm, killing to seize treasures was very common; even baskets were fought over.

The great noble families had prepared long ago, securing teleportation arrays and storage bags early each year so they wouldn't all rush to buy at once. But for families with deep foundations, everything was negotiable; for families without foundations, preparing early meant nothing since they had no assets to begin with.

Now, with everyone scrambling together to procure storage bags and teleportation arrays, the array refiners and artifact refiners were extremely arrogant. The prices for storage bags and teleportation arrays were daunting; even a small storage bag was impossible to buy, let alone get one.

Qin He was deeply depressed because of this. She went to the Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion in a gloomy mood. Every day, as soon as she opened her eyes, she didn't stay at the Xue Prince's Mansion. Fu Bao was very attached to Qin He and, dressed beautifully, followed along.

Qin He went to the Second Branch. Qin Yuan asked, "You look gloomy. Is something troubling you?"

"Sigh." Qin He sighed and sat down: "I'm short a few storage bags and a large teleportation array."

Qin Yuan immediately leaned in: "I heard our Great Yan Emperor has a top-tier teleportation array. If possible, go ask the He Heir to borrow the Great Yan Emperor's top-tier teleportation array."

Qin He lowered her head: "I don't want to deal with the He Heir."

"Don't be like that." Qin Yuan urged her: "Put matters of the heart aside for now; building up assets is more important. Last year, the Rong Prince's Mansion gathered quite a few baskets, plus trees. Are you willing to be outdone by Qin Bi?"

Qin Yuan stamped her foot: "Anyway, I can't stand her."

"You can say that in the Second Branch." Qin He warned Qin Yuan: "Don't say such things in the front courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion. Now, ah, Qin Bi is the noble Rong Heir's Consort. If you speak ill of her, you'll be scolded."

Qin Yuan widened her eyes: "Does she think she can act superior in her own maiden family?"

Qin He stood up: "She finally managed to secure the position of Rong Heir's Consort."

Qin Yuan was disdainful. Qin He didn't take Qin Bi seriously either; it was her own limitation. This time, going to the small space in the Beast Realm with the senior and junior disciples of the Immortal Sects, Qin He had broadened her horizons.

With her high cultivation base, as long as she built up her fame value, what couldn't she get?

After Qin Yuan reminded Qin He, she went directly to the Yan Guogong Mansion to find the He Heir.

The Yan Guogong's Lady met her in the main hall: "He Yan is not in the mansion."

"I have business with the He Heir." Qin He said: "Why must the Guogong's Lady prevent me from seeing him?"

The Yan Guogong's Lady, seeing this as refusing a favor, frowned: "Believe it or not, show her out."

Qin He left in anger, then asked the Xue Heir to find the He Heir. The Xue Heir went to the palace, found the He Heir reviewing memorials, and relayed Qin He's words to him.

It wasn't much of a request; just borrowing the Great Yan Emperor's top-tier teleportation array.

The He Heir's expression remained calm. He glanced at the Xue Heir. Truly insatiable!

The He Heir said, "I don't have that kind of influence."

The Xue Heir had no choice but to leave the palace, return to his mansion, and tell Qin He.

Qin He was frustrated. A maid said, "Heir Consort, you have already prepared quite a few teleportation arrays. That Rong Heir's Consort doesn't have as many magic treasures as you, Heir Consort. There's no need to be depressed about this."

Qin He thought about it and realized the maid was right. Her mood immediately improved.

In this cultivation world, many cultivators were heading to the small space in the Beast Realm, not just those from Great Yan, but also from the Immortal Sects. Each Immortal Sect was also very keen on collecting items.

The Qin Yan Marquis and the Old Qin Yan Marquis discussed it and decided not to split their forces into two groups this year.

"Qin Tan, you and Qin Yan will lead the team." The Qin Yan Marquis said: "The younger generation of the family has low cultivation bases. If you encounter powerful figures, do not engage in prolonged battles. Once you have collected enough items, teleport back."

After speaking, the Qin Yan Marquis sighed. This time, so many people were going to the Beast Realm. He feared that with the strength of the Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion, they wouldn't be able to seize anything, and even if they did collect items, they couldn't protect them.

There was no way out, so the Qin Yan Marquis could only give repeated instructions.

The Marquis's Mansion disciples accepted their missions. Only Qin Tan and his brothers stayed to talk, along with Qin Yan. Everyone else dispersed to make their own preparations. Qin Bi also returned to the Rong Prince's Mansion.

The young prince was in the Heir's courtyard watching the children. Both little buns were practicing calligraphy.

"The Rong Heir said you've returned. Go to his study to find him." The young prince delivered the message.

Qin Bi was startled and went to the Rong Heir's study.

At that moment, several advisors were in the study. When Qin Bi arrived, everyone except the chief strategist, Lin Yao, withdrew.

The Rong Heir took out a top-tier teleportation array: "This belongs to the Rong Prince's Mansion. Take it with you."

Thus, there were now two top-tier teleportation arrays.

Qin Bi put it away: "I'm going with my maiden family. How should the collected items be divided?"

"Lin Yao will go with you." The Rong Heir said: "For the items you collect, Lin Yao will keep watch. He won't give anything to the Marquis's Mansion that shouldn't be given."

After a brief pause, the Rong Heir raised his eyes. The man's features were cold and stern, yet his words carried concern: "It doesn't matter if you don't collect anything. There is Father, the Rong Prince. He will gather assets for our Rong Yang and Rong Chi. If you encounter danger, stay close to Lin Yao."

Qin Bi instinctively said, "Rong Chi also said he likes to eat spiritual energy snails."

It was an unintentional complaint, yet it was a complaint to the little milk bun.

Lin Yao's mouth twitched. The Rong Heir seemed already accustomed to it: "I'll beat him later."

Qin Bi then realized she had complained to the little milk bun, and suddenly her face turned red; wasn't this acting spoiled?
