Xue Ling looked at Qin Xue with grief after hearing that. It didn’t want to be like this either.
“Master, it’s your fault. I am a Fox Fairy, true, but my mana is depleted.
I only managed to take shape after tirelessly practicing to remove the seal.” Xue Ling thought it was the most miserable fairy. Not only did it have nothing, but it was also despised after finally taking shape. Who else was like this?
“Alright, I don’t have any clothes for you to wear now. I’ll make you some when I get back, okay?” Qin Xue didn’t know where to find clothes right now; she could only do so after returning home.
“Sure, anyway, there’s no one here besides you and some spiritual objects.” Xue Ling didn’t care anymore.
“So, now that you’ve taken shape, isn’t it time to start working?” Qin Xue gave it a glance.
“Master, that’s child exploitation,” Xue Ling complained, staring at Qin Xue dissatisfiedly.
“Yeah, I’m exploiting you, because you are a fairy, not a human. And you have little mana.” Qin Xue looked triumphantly at Xue Ling.
“How did I end up with such an unscrupulous master?” Xue Ling wailed tearlessly.
“No choice, but it’s because I’m unscrupulous that I unsealed you,” Qin Xue shook her head and unconsciously spoke in a manner that irritated others.
“Hmph, let’s get to work!” Xue Ling turned to deal with the medicinal materials because after discovering that the materials could speed up its cultivation once consumed, it had been eating while planting them.
Since Qin Xue was lazy and seldom took care of the space, Xue Ling had reaped the benefits.
Qin Xue, seeing that Xue Ling was working with the medicinal materials, didn’t bother it anymore and busied herself with the liquor. She didn’t want to delay any longer, fearing that her child might cry or her brother might come looking for her.
Qin Xue was so exhausted after finishing the liquor that her waist could barely straighten up.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw her brother approaching. She felt lucky to have moved quickly.
“Are you done?” Qin Xue turned to lock the door.
There were only two keys to the warehouse, one for each sibling.
“Yes, I’m finished. Did you finish up in there?” Qin Yu pointed to the warehouse.
“Done.” Qin Xue nodded, and they both went to the front of the store.
“Xiao Yu, we’re going to the Imperial Capital tomorrow, and you’ll be left here alone. If anything happens, you can seek help from Jing Xin and Fang Xiu,” Qin Xue said. There was no other option, as no one else would be available to help.
“I understand. Don’t worry,” Qin Yu had learned a lot over the past months and was no longer the naive country boy he had been.
“Also, when your night school courses are finished, you should study at Imperial University. That way, we can take care of each other,” Qin Xue suggested, thinking of her sister’s plan to study in the Imperial Capital and deciding that her brother might as well enroll there, too.
“Okay, I’ll study hard,” Qin Yu had a keen sense of familiarity, so Qin Xue recommended that he study engineering design.
That would be advantageous for Qin Yu to become an engineer later on.
Qin Yu believed his sister’s reasoning and decided to learn engineering design.
“Do you have money with you?” Qin Xue asked.
“Yes, how much do you need?” Qin Yu recalled how their store’s reputation had recently spread, attracting envious eyes. Others had come to cause trouble, and their problems were solved only when Jing Xin stepped in to help.
“Apart from what we need for the business, leave some for emergencies and give the rest to me,” Qin Xue thought about how they would need money in the Imperial Capital, and it was important not to be without cash.
“All right, wait here. I’ll get it for you,” Qin Yu opened a drawer and handed Qin Xue a bankbook.
“The money is in there. The password is your wedding date.” Qin Yu had initially wanted to use their birthdays as the password, but then chose his sister’s wedding anniversary instead.
Qin Xue couldn’t help but smile awkwardly, as she wasn’t the original owner and had no idea when she had gotten married.
