Chapter 163: Enter the Mountain in Search of Treasure 5

As Qi Qingyao said this, she put her hands together to thank the Koi God. She murmured, “My natural beauty is so great that even the Koi God could not bear to see me live in a thatched home. They must think that I should have money and live in a big and luxurious house.”

“Yes.” Si Jin looked solemn as he nodded.

After Qi Qingyao said her prayers, she tugged at Si Jin and said softly, “Actually, let me tell you a secret. I wanted to buy a big house because it’s the only way we can have a living pond. Once I have one, I can then go fishing at Jiuli River. I think I’ll be able to catch some beautiful koi fish if I put my mind to it. I want a big mansion with a living pond, so that I can raise the little koi in the living pond and feed them every day.”

Qi Qingyao looked forward to the future with joy.

Si Jin watched Qi Qingyao quietly for a while. His eyes were watery as if he was about to cry. He furiously blinked his eyes that were misted with clear water drops and said in a throaty voice, “Sister is such a kind person. I’m sure everything you want will come true.”

Qi Qingyao laughed.

Jiang Yeqian, who was walking behind the two, wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this but managed to hold himself back.

Was this woman really kind?

Si Jin, oh Si Jin, normal people would not say something like this, come on!

They walked a few more steps.

Qi Qingyao saw the two types of herbs in the front.

The partly translucent herb seemed to have melded with the snowy ground. Anyone would have missed it unless they looked carefully.

“F*ck, it’s groundsel! And stonecrops!” Qi Qingyao rushed over. After taking a good look at the two different herbs, her expression changed. The groundsel was extremely poisonous. This was premium stuff so they should not sell it. They could extract the poison, which might come useful during critical times.

Groundsel and stonecrop were two sides of a coin; one takes life while the other saves it. She had struck a gold mine!

Many of the professionals were keeping an eye out on the people from mainland Donghua while she was currently only a rookie in the region! There were all sorts of characters in town but she was afraid that there would be more capable people in the mix by the time she got to Qingzhou City. When the time came, ordinary people like her who had no strength on their own would be easily taken down by others if she ever got into trouble.

However, she would have a method to protect herself if she had this poison!

When Qi Qingyao thought of this, she praised excitedly, “Oh Si Jin, you are really my little treasure!”

“I want to be your treasure forever,” Si Jin replied sweetly.

Qi Qingyao replied breezily, “My kids come first and Si Jin comes second!”

“Hah, I’m second!” Si Jin was so happy he was dancing on his hands and feet.

Qi Qingyao crouched down and carefully picked both the groundsel and stonecrop.

She nearly died of shock when she came face to face with Jiang Yeqian who was behind her when she stood up. She was about to ask him to not stand so close when Jiang Yeqian asked through gritted teeth, “Do I not have a place here?” He had not wanted to ask this but could not hold himself back anymore. His mouth was quicker than his mind.

Qi Qingyao was puzzled. She asked as she stowed the two items into her cloth bag before placing that into a bamboo basket, “Why would I need to place you?”

“Why not?” Jiang Yeqian clenched his teeth.

Qi Qingyao asked slowly, “Who are you to me?”

Jiang Yeqian pointed at the innocent-looking Si Jin next to her. “He isn’t anyone to you either, so why does he get to come second?”
