Chapter 585 It would be better to bring a few more nephews.
Lin Yao was dressed as a scholar, but his expression was indifferent.
Looking at Jiang Shen, Lin Yao said, "Children can dig for medicinal herbs, but they don't need to pick spirit fruits."
"What?" Qin Han was annoyed, and even her chief strategist was being provoked: "You're worried about children eating spirit fruits? I was just thinking that it would be easier for children to pick spirit fruits. Shouldn't picking spirit fruits be something for women and children? Men should be cutting branches and trees."
Lin Yao is the chief strategist, and he won't fall for this. In his eyes, Qin Han is simply showing off her limited abilities and doesn't know her own limitations. Lin Yao is the chief strategist of the Rong King's Mansion, and he won't tolerate Qin Han.
“Children are greedy,” Lin Yao said. “It’s hard to say. Spirit fruits are not ordinary fruits and cannot be given to just anyone. Besides, in the cultivation world, there is no distinction between men and women. Everyone is competing based on their cultivation level. Miss Qin Han, the ideas of ordinary people do not apply in the small space of the demon beast world.”
Qin Han blushed and was speechless after being rebuked.
Lin Yao made it clear that he didn't believe Jiang Shen would pick the spirit fruit and not eat it. The Jiang family was a branch of the Jiang clan, belonging to the merchant family, but it was also a branch of a large family. The fact that the young lady of the Jiang family was seen as greedy made Qin Han both angry and annoyed.
Jiang Mo's expression was also unpleasant, but he couldn't blame anyone. Qin Han was too self-important. Lin Yao was neither a member of the Qin Yan Marquis's family nor a relative, so there was no need for him to give Qin Han face.
The Prince Rong's subordinates don't need to take anyone else seriously.
"Gingerberry," Jiang Mo said, "Go dig up some medicinal herbs."
Jiang Shen walked away, turning back every few steps, carrying a small basket and a small knife. She wanted to pick spirit fruits. She said she wouldn't eat them, but if she picked a spirit fruit and ate one, who would say anything?
With the intervention of the chief strategist of the Rongwang Mansion, her parents were helpless.
Qin Yuan muttered, "He's just a child. What's wrong with him eating a spirit fruit? Sister Qin He is so generous. How come she's become so stingy since coming to the Rong King's Mansion?"
Lin Yao then said to Qin Tan and Qin Yan, "We can't afford the young ladies from the Marquis's mansion, so we don't need their help."
Prince Qin felt extremely ashamed of the Marquis's sons: "If you don't want to work, then stay out of the way."
Qin Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but Qin Jue tugged at her, and Qin Yuan went to stay to the side. Since most of the things she collected belonged to Qin Bi, she wasn't going to stand for it.
Qin Jue went over and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
"Collect things for Qin Bi." Qin Yuan said, "I won't collect anything."
"You..." Qin Jue said angrily, "You're so ignorant. We share the same fate."
Qin Yuan retorted in a low voice, "The Xue Prince's Mansion and we share the same fate."
Qin Jue ignored Qin Yuan and still had to explain to Qin Yan and his third uncle.
"Qin Yuan is a little tired," Qin Jue said. "Let's rest for a while while we dig for medicinal herbs."
Who cares about her? Qin Yan and Qin Tan won't take their anger out on Qin Jue. With a wave of their hands, Qin Jue immediately led the second branch's illegitimate sons and daughters to cut branches and chop trees. Normally, the illegitimate daughters could dig up medicinal herbs, but since Qin Yuan was throwing a tantrum, the second branch couldn't slack off any longer.
Since the other members of the second wife's family were more diligent, no one held a grudge against Qin Yuan.
The fifth son of the main branch was young, but he had the air of a legitimate son of a marquis. The illegitimate sons and daughters could not cause any trouble. The child took the lead in chopping down trees, and Qin Tan led everyone to teach them how to conserve spiritual energy.
Qin Yan stopped picking spirit fruits and stayed here to keep the unruly young masters of the Marquis's mansion in check.
Qin Yuan had originally wanted to say a few words for Qin Yuan and Qin Han, but being scolded and then ignored was too humiliating. Cui Xiao pulled her aside, and Lu Yang and the others from the eldest branch of the family went to chop down trees with the third and fourth branches. "These trees are really nice." Qin Yuan chopped off a section of the tree, picked it up to examine it, and looked up at her husband Cui Xiao, asking, "Did it just grow?"
Qin Yuan herself found it unbelievable to ask this question. What kind of rainwater is so abundant? The flowers, grasses and trees are growing rapidly. Qin Yuan glanced at the surrounding plants and found them all to be very lush.
“They just grew.” Cui Xiao nodded. “This area is great; we can collect enough for several days.”
Qin Wu coolly used her spiritual power to chop down trees: "This Qin Yuan is so insensible. Collecting things in the small space of the demon beast realm is the priority, yet she still throws a tantrum? Who will indulge her?"
Qin Yuan, the eldest daughter of the first wife, told her, "Say less."
Qin Cui, the eldest son of the fifth branch, was not very old, not even ten years old. The child said in a serious tone, "Why don't you say less? Our Marquis's Mansion and the Rong Prince's Mansion share the same fate. What is she making a fuss about? It would be better to bring a few more nephews. Bringing her is a waste of a spot."
Qin Jue overheard a few words and went to call Qin Yuan to cut branches. This was a small space in the demon beast realm, not at home. How could she be so willful? Qin Yuan lowered her head and went to work.
Qin Bi, Qin Tang, Qin Xun, Qin Lang, and Qin Xiang were picking spirit fruits and noticed the situation here, but they didn't have time to interfere. The small space of the demon beast realm was not a place to throw tantrums or act willfully.
As darkness approached, Qin Yan called out to Qin Bi: "We've chopped down quite a few trees. You should teleport back; we can't protect more than that."
Qin Bi climbed down from the tree, took a few spirit fruits from the basket and gave them to Qin Yan. Qin Yan accepted them and put them away. Qin Bi then picked out a few misshapen and cracked fruits and took them with Qin Yan to the place where the trees were being chopped.
"Teleport these trees back," Qin Tan said, stopping what he was doing.
Qin Bi nodded: "Mm."
Qin Bi handed the spiritual fruit in her hand to Qin Tan and Qin Di, saying, "Eat it to quench your thirst."
Qin Yan distributed what he had taken to Cui Xiao, Lu Yang, and the others. Those who dug for medicinal herbs could skip it, as their work wasn't tiring and they didn't need to eat spirit fruits. Those who cut branches and chopped trees each received one spirit fruit.
"It doesn't matter if it's not enough," Qin Bi said to Qin Cui, the fifth son of the main branch of the family. "Go and pick some spirit fruits."
Qin Cui received a share of the spiritual fruit, but he was still young and inexperienced. He worked very hard and dutifully with the illegitimate sons and daughters of the fifth branch of the family. Qin Bi was not someone who didn't love her younger brother.
Qin Cui refused to go: "I'll chop down more trees and teleport back."
Qin Bi glanced at him and said, "Pick a few spirit fruits, then chop down trees when you get back."
This kid's spiritual power isn't weak, so how could we let him sit idle? The main thing is to let him pick some spiritual fruits and eat a few more. Qin Cui was stunned for a moment, and Qin Yuan nudged him, and the child went to the spiritual fruit tree.
Qin Bi took out a teleportation array and set it up. Everyone moved the trees and branches into the teleportation array, and adjusted the trees that were protruding from the teleportation array. Qin Tang and Qin Xun brought several baskets of spirit fruits and put them into the teleportation array.
Qin Bi activated the teleportation array, and Qin Xun went into the array and was teleported back with her.
It was already dark by then. Since it was the first day in the small space of the demon beast realm, even a large cultivation family with storage bags would not be able to send things back.
How much can you collect on the first day? And then you'll be teleported back?
Storage bags can usually hold everything, so only a few family members are here to keep watch. The officials of the Ministry of Works are about to be dismissed, but fortunately the Minister of Works has not yet left.
Suddenly, there was movement at the location where the teleportation array was set up, and it was unclear how many things were teleported.
With a loud "bang," a cloud of dust rose. (End of Chapter)
