Chapter 532 No More Showing Off
Su Shizi was speechless. It was Qin He. Qin He always considered herself to have a maximum level of good fortune.
“No.” Young Master Su interrupted, his tone certain: “We weren’t collecting things together, and we don’t even know where Qin He and Qin Yan are. How could Qin He say that our gains are her luck?”
This is not how you steal credit; it's completely unrelated.
If Qin He collects things together, you could say it's her luck; if they're not together, you can't force a connection.
Su Shizi thought so too, but Qin Tan's group knew Qin He's character well. She had been like this before, always claiming that it was her doing when someone summoned her, and that catching the spirit duck was her good fortune.
Qin He felt that everything belonged to her.
Others might not know, but the people in the third and fourth branches of the family knew it all too well. Even Rong Yan and Jiang Xu, who often came to the small space of the demon beast realm with Qin Bi, knew that Qin He liked to fabricate things out of thin air.
"Last time, when Qin Tang and his group caught the spirit bird duck, Qin He said it was her luck." Qin Tan said, "Qin Bi's worries are not unfounded. It's better if Qin He doesn't say it's her luck. What if Qin He does say it's her luck? It's better to be on guard."
Qin Tan is Qin He's third uncle. If he said that, Prince Su thinks that Qin He must have another side to her in the Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, people wouldn't be so wary of her.
There's always a reason why elders might dislike something.
“Exactly.” Rong Yan was chubby and had a good temper. He wiped a small sweet radish on his clothes and ate it, saying, “Last time, when we caught the spirit bird duck, it called for Prince Qin several times. How did it become her luck? What does it have to do with her? It makes me feel very uncomfortable.”
The Second Young Master Su frowned, which was indeed unsettling.
Jiang Xu suggested, "Let's not mention luck when we get back."
Qin Bi chuckled and said, "If you don't mention luck, Qin He will know that we have made a great harvest, and she will naturally bring up luck herself. She will take it for granted that it is her luck."
The young masters of the Duke of Su's mansion didn't believe it; how could anyone be so shameless?
Qin Bi didn't say much: "Just don't mention our gains, so she can't be involved."
"Alright." Young Master Su turned to Second Young Master Su and the others and said, "Go back and stop showing off."
Young Master Su chuckled and said with a smile, "I was originally planning to show off my haul when I got back, but alright, I won't. I'm telling you, we really had a great haul this time."
Everyone smiled when they talked about what they had gained.
Everyone was in a good mood because they had collected a lot of things, and they were all smiling.
The youngest son of the third wife kept rummaging through the storage bag, a smile playing on his lips. The boy rarely smiled, but he had become much more cheerful these past two days, and he would take stock of the family's wealth from time to time.
Qin Bi wanted to go and find the stream where the snails were, but she remained silent.
The young men from the Duke of Su's mansion ran off to dig up vines and plants that looked like wild vegetables. The second young master of Su also didn't want to leave: "Let's stay another day. It's not like we've found everything. We won't be this lucky next time."
I wouldn't be satisfied until all the sweet potatoes and radishes were dug up; I always felt like I was missing out, as if I had lost something.
See? They've got the same idea as Qin Bi.
Qin Bi turned to Qin Tan and Qin Di and said, "Third Uncle, Father, I also want to collect some more spiritual food."
She was distracted, and the third and fourth wives tried their best not to worry her.
Since Qin Bi had already spoken, Qin Tang also said, "Qin Bi has children at home, and she wants to collect more things for them. We can stay another day and go back tomorrow to collect some more things."
“Yes.” Rong Yan said, “Find the spirit-infused sweet potatoes and small sweet radishes again.”
Everyone said so, and Qin Tan said, "If everyone wants to collect more things, then let's look again. It's rare to eat spiritual food after leaving the small space of the demon beast realm, so we should indeed look again."
Right now, the soil is growing sweet potatoes and small radishes imbued with spiritual energy. If you want to eat them, you can just find them and dig one up—it's effortless. But if you leave the small space of the demon beast realm, you'll have to go to the Spirit Plant Street to buy spiritual food. As for the price, let's not even mention it.
Furthermore, spiritual food includes spiritual vegetables and fruits, and there are countless varieties, each with a different price.
Sometimes, even if you want to eat it, it might not be available for sale.
For example, while sweet potatoes are available in the Spirit Plant Street during winter, sweet radishes are not always available. They are rare spiritual foods, and their prices are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
Qin Bi rarely came into contact with the prices of spiritual food, but she could guess that the spiritual sweet potatoes and small sweet radishes were not cheap. So, she thought that since luck had delivered the spiritual food to her, she would feel like she was losing out if she didn't collect it all.
And they're also a bit lazy and not very diligent.
Qin Bi wanted to collect everything she could.
The two groups had been in this area for several days and were quite familiar with it. They agreed to stay for another day and then went to find places they felt they could find something worthwhile. Qin Bi called Qin Lang, Qin Xun, and Rong Yan and went to the stream where they found the snails.
Qin Bi sensed there were still snails, so she went to check and, sure enough, a lot more snails had gathered there.
"There's such a good thing?!" Rong Yan exclaimed in surprise.
“Rongyang and Rongchi will definitely love to eat them.” Qin Bi was overjoyed when she saw the snails and took out two baskets from her storage bag: “Help me catch them. It would be even better if we could collect some chili peppers as well.”
Lin Yao, who came along with them: "......"
That's incredibly lucky.
Qin Bi's thinking is not wrong. The main reason is that this time, with the luck brought by Prince Su and the luck of Qin Tan's team, their two teams are having a very smooth time in the small space of the demon beast realm.
Once things are going smoothly, you want more; once you find snails, you start craving chili peppers.
Qin Lang and Rong Yan laughed. Chili peppers? Indeed, stir-fried snails with chili peppers are incredibly delicious. Thinking of this, Rong Yan swallowed his saliva. He only hoped that after the Crown Princess finished catching them, she could leave him half a pound or a pound so he could try some.
Rong Yan dragged the basket, found a spot, and glanced down: "The quality is quite good."
Qin Bi chimed in, "The shell is sturdy too."
Rong Yan started to gather the baskets, and Qin Lang and Qin Xun also dragged one. Qin Bi thought for a moment and then took out another basket.
Lin Yao had a sharp eye; he walked upstream and downstream for a bit, then came back and said, "Give me another basket."
Qin Bi took out another basket from the storage bag. Lin Yao carried the basket, found a spot, and everyone busied themselves carrying the baskets. By late afternoon, the baskets were full.
Qin Bi was delighted. After Qin Xun and Lin Yao put some water into the basket, she put it into the storage bag.
Qin Bi said, "You guys go catch snails."
That's enough for her.
"Oh my!" Rong Yan exclaimed happily, his eyes fixed on the few snails scattered in the stream. "I think I can catch a few more pounds."
Everyone had their own supplies, so they took out small wooden buckets, baskets, or crates from their storage bags and searched for snails in the stream. They collected quite a few, while Qin Bi searched for river shrimp.
Surprisingly, she actually found quite a few.
Qin Bi quickly caught them. The shrimp with spiritual energy were strong, and some jumped to the stream. Qin Bi quickly picked them up. These were the best for the children to eat. As she caught them, she kept her eyes on the stream.
When Qin Bi couldn't find any shrimp, Qin Lang and the others caught several pounds of snails. (End of Chapter)
