She looked towards the dense forest.
“Are you serious, Master?”
Wei Na was dumbfounded by how An Jiuyue reassured herself.
“We have to think like the ancient people. You have occupied his wife’s body, so you are now his wife. Besides, I think this man is not bad either. You can make use of him repeatedly.”
An Jiuyue was silent.
Is Qian Jiyun some kind of recyclable trash?
“You don’t know anything. He already has a great beauty by his side. Why should I get involved?”
Wei Na wondered if its master was serious.
That Xue Ling? A great beauty? Master, are you blind?
No man will fancy a woman like her. Even a spatial soul like me can tell that Qian Jiyun has no feelings for Xue Ling.
He even detests her a little.
“That’s why it is not possible for anything to happen between us, got it?” An Jiuyue added when she noticed Wei Na did not respond. She thought the latter had also agreed with her.
Qian Jiyun aside, she still had to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables. Many mouths were waiting to be fed.
Hence, An Jiuyue shelved her thoughts about Qian Jiyun and began picking mushrooms calmly. There were plenty of mushrooms growing in spring, and there were even more of them in the forest on rainy days.
She tossed some mushrooms into her bamboo basket and stored the larger ones in her space.
Although the villagers were important to her, she and her two little ones were important too. She could not possibly feed the villagers and neglect her family.
She had to be good to herself and save up the largest mushrooms for herself.
While gathering mushrooms and vegetables, she caught three pheasants and picked up several pheasant eggs—all of which she stored in her space.
“It is a must to go into the mountains! There are so many things you can harvest in here! As the saying goes, those who live on the mountain live off the mountain, while those who live by the water live off the water!”
She tossed another large mushroom into her space while swiftly gathering a bunch of small mushrooms into her basket.
It had only been two hours, but the basket was already heavy. She stood up and surveyed her surroundings. Qian Jiyun was nowhere in sight. She decided to go elsewhere and continue harvesting. Even though her basket was almost full, it was not a problem since she had her space anyway.
“It will be great if I can plant these mushrooms in my space.”
That way, she would have endless mushrooms. She could even sell them and earn money.
“Master, you can do that! We have enough points now,” Wei Na said hurriedly. It had been waiting for its master to begin reclaiming the jade land.
An Jiuyue was silent.
She was already aware that she could plant them now. However, with so many people outside her house now, and some even knew martial arts, it would be problematic if they realized she had disappeared.
She’d better wait.
…
Back at the treehouse, everyone was gathered underneath it and chattering non-stop. Many families were worried about their plans after the floodwaters subside.
Aunt Ju carried two bowls of rice paste upstairs to feed the two soundly sleeping children.
