Chapter 617 She's Also Considered Half a Legitimate Daughter
On the path of cultivating immortality, no one is wealthy.
The mortals all had some wealth, but cultivation resources were scarce, and no one ate spiritual fruits often. Qin Yuan and Qin Wu couldn't bear to eat them all, so they each kept one spiritual fruit.
Lu Yang wasn't that observant. He had originally planned to eat both spiritual fruits, but when he saw that everyone else had only eaten one, and he had even put the spiritual fruit to his mouth, he paused and then put it away.
Jiang Mo couldn't hold on any longer and went to rest, so she didn't get any spirit fruits.
Qin Tan is well-versed in poetry and literature and speaks reasonably. As long as Jiang Mo works, Qin Tan will not withhold his spiritual fruits. However, it's hard to say about Qin Bi and Qin Lang, as those two would absolutely despise Qin Han's behavior.
What if Jiang Mo gives the spiritual fruit to Qin Han?!
Qin Lang was relieved. Jiang Mo lacked cultivation resources, so his physique hadn't improved much, and he was still very tired when he needed to be. Qin Lang was different from Qin Tang and Qin Xun.
Having visited the small space in the demon beast realm several times, they collected quite a few things, such as spirit birds, spirit sweet potatoes, and small sweet radishes. They have been eating spirit food continuously, so despite their short cultivation time, their physiques are stronger than Jiang Mo's.
In fact, Jiang Mo started cultivating immortality earlier than them.
Qin He and Qin Han are good sisters and have a good relationship. Qin Han is also very good at understanding human relationships and can keep Qin He happy. Qin Han and Jiang Mo have long had spiritual roots, but they just don't have the resources to cultivate.
Qin Han wouldn't let Jiang Mo come to the small space in the demon beast realm to train and collect things. Qin Han herself was also afraid of dying, so she mainly focused on opening shops to earn money. Qin Han valued money very much.
Qin Lang pulled Qin Bi's cloak tighter, sat down, and fell asleep on the table.
Qin He and Qin Yuan were already asleep, and the others quickly rested as there was still a lot of work to do tomorrow. Qin Yuan and Qin Wu worked for another hour before finally going to sleep.
Cui Xiao and Lu Yang haven't left yet; they can chop down trees for a while longer.
Qin Tan said to Qin Yan, "It seems that the people from the Immortal Sect are not coming."
Qin Yan sighed, "It would have been better to take Qin He away; leaving her here is just a hassle."
Being the chosen one isn't always a good thing.
If she did nothing wrong, that's fine. But if Qin He did something wrong, and the family takes action against her, the immortal sects will come to Qin He's aid. Qin Yan narrowed her eyes. Qin He has been quite a handful these past few years; she's been too self-righteous.
Qin Di walked over and chuckled, "Heh, I find it strange. This area was summoned by Qin Lang's 'Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud' to bring rain. We all worked together to summon it, and now the flowers, plants, and trees have grown. Why does Qin He insist that it's her good fortune and luck? There has to be a reason for taking credit. Isn't this just being unreasonable? Second brother isn't that kind of shameless person."
Qin Tan was also puzzled as to how Cui Shi, the stepmother, could raise someone with Qin He's personality.
The Cui family comes from a prestigious family with good fortune and prestige, and the Cui family's prestige is not low. However, Qin He always feels that everyone is benefiting from her fame without any reason.
"We spent half a day trying to summon rain," Qin Yan said. "She said it was because her luck and fortune were not good."
It would be fine if everyone was willing to give credit to Qin He for summoning rain to make the flowers, grass and trees grow, but if they weren't, it had nothing to do with Qin He, since Qin Yan wasn't exactly known for her good temper.
Qin Yan was already displeased when Qin He came to cause trouble.
As the heir of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, nothing was more important to Qin Yan than collecting things. This time, the various families came to the small space of the demon beast realm to accumulate their wealth, and they put everything else aside.
And what happened? Qin He came looking for Fu Bao because he had been beaten, and she wanted to confront him.
Ah, Qin Yan is annoyed.
"Stop chopping down trees," Qin Tan said. "There's still a lot of work to do tomorrow, so go to sleep." Qin Yan nodded: "Okay, if I stay up too tired, I won't have the energy to work tomorrow."
Lin Yao said, "You guys go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on things."
Lin Yao was the most skilled among the group, so Qin Tan and Qin Di didn't stand on ceremony with him. Cui Xiao and Lu Yang also stopped fighting, as it was getting late and they would have to get up after sleeping for a little over an hour.
Lin Yao went to sit down at the table, but no one from the Immortal Sect came until morning.
Qin Yuan and Qin Wu woke up early in the morning and called a few people to make breakfast. While they were at it, Qin Tan and the others continued to chop down trees, along with the guards and servants, and busied themselves for a while before breakfast.
Qin Han dawdled into the kitchen, and Qin Wu said to her, "What's wrong with you? After we eat, everyone still needs to collect things. Can't you be a little faster? Jiang Shen is young, but she's in the small space of the demon beast realm. She can't act like a pampered young lady, doing nothing herself and having you accompany her."
Qin Han explained, "I went to bed late last night."
She meant that she hadn't gone to bed early because she was collecting things.
She wanted to do Qin Wu and the others a favor, to let them know how hard she had worked.
"I went to bed later than you," Qin Wu retorted. "But I still got up early this morning."
Qin Han said unhappily, "Qin Bi didn't get up early either."
She was still collecting things for Qin Bi, so she should stay up late and get up early. Qin Bi didn't get up early, so why was she criticizing her? Qin Han felt that she was in the right. Qin Wu shouldn't have argued with her; if anyone should be criticizing someone, it should be Qin Bi.
“She’s in poor health.” Qin Yuan was also displeased: “Are you in poor health too?”
Qin Yuan muttered, "Hasn't she recovered?"
Qin Yuan wasn't about to tolerate it and snapped, "Shut up."
Qin Yuan fell silent. Even though her eldest sister was showing her power, Qin Yuan was still afraid.
"Who said anything about Qin Bi? No one from your second branch should say anything either." Qin Yuan lowered her voice, but Qin Wu and Qin Han could hear her. Qin Yuan said, "Why is Qin Bi physically weak and mentally unstable? Qin Yuan, as the legitimate daughter of the second branch, don't you know why? You don't respect your cousin and you're still babbling here. Is this what a legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion is like? You'll be laughed at by all the noble families."
Qin Yuan looked dejected and lowered her head. Qin Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to her. It was a good thing that Qin Yuan and Qin He were close sisters, but it was wrong for her to be unreasonable. She was a brainless idiot.
Qin Han didn't dare to say anything. She was a little afraid of the children of the eldest son's family, especially the legitimate children. The wife of Qin Yanhou was very well-mannered, and there was nothing wrong with her words and actions.
Unlike the fourth branch of the family, Qin Han thought to herself. She was practically a legitimate daughter, while Qin Bi was just a concubine's daughter. Yet Qin Bi was now behaving superior to her and didn't take her seriously at all.
Qin Bi washed her face and glanced at the kitchen. She didn't go to the kitchen; she didn't need to worry about these things. She didn't take over the management of the Rong Prince's mansion, and the Rong Prince spoiled her. Unless necessary, she didn't care about the kitchen.
Qin Bi even ran over and asked Qin Tan and Qin Di, "Do I need to go help in the kitchen?"
Qin Tan waved his hand: "You don't need to go."
Qin Bi was delighted and thought for a moment: "Third Uncle, why don't you try setting up another spatial array?"
"What are you doing?" Qin Tan asked.
"Our location is good, but everyone's cultivation level is low, so we can't beat them," Qin Bi explained. "Let's practice setting up formations. If anyone comes to steal our things, we'll use the formation to kill them." (End of Chapter)
