Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin were not present because they had gone to explore a mountain with Qi Qingyao, not because they felt guilty. The children were left back at the inn. Qi Qingyao had told them to bolt the door and focus on practicing their calligraphy skills.

Meanwhile, Qi Qingyao and her two “goons” entered the mountain area. “Today’s goal is to find all kinds of rare herbs that we can sell at a good price!”

The three of them were carrying baskets on their backs. These contained shovels and the other necessary small tools for their trip. As Qi Qingyao was not skilled in martial arts, she also carried a walking stick with her in order to support her body, lest she fall into a hole.

When it started snowing again, Qi Qingyao looked at the snowflakes lightly falling from the sky. She said to the two of them, “Keep your eyes open and stay aware of the danger around us.”

Jiang Yeqian looked at the weather, feeling speechless. “You should have enough money to spend for now.”

“Money is never enough,” Qi Qingyao turned back to reprimand him.

“It’s because you’re too greedy,” Jiang Yeqian said.

“You should change your perspective. We should be aiming higher! Who would ever think that they have too much money?”

‘Plus you owe me a thousand taels too, you bastard who never stops insisting that you’ve lost your memories! You have the gall to say that I’m too greedy! Before you say that, you should f*cking pay me back first!’ Qi Qingyao ranted mentally.

Looking at the majestic mountain, Qi Qingyao clenched her fists and said with determination, “I want to create a better life for the sake of the kids! I want to start small, before walking down the path to wealth!”

Looking at Qi Qingyao’s determination to not return home before she managed to find something here, Jiang Yeqian knew that they would be very, very busy for the whole day.

They might even have to spend the night on the mountain too!

At that thought, he glanced at the clothes that he was wearing, and then at hers. If they really had to spend the night here, then he could only take off his clothes and cover her with them so that she did not freeze to death. What would he do if she really froze to death and left him with three little burdens?

…

Qi Qingyao had uttered words that were full of determination, but internally she was actually filled with dejection.

She had had clear goals the first two times she entered the mountain area.

The first time, she had been desperate to save someone. The determination she had then motivated her to find a lot of herbs. Now she had forgotten where everything was.

The second time was when she had nothing to eat and had no money. Those were strong motivating factors too. That was why she managed to find a wild boar within a short period.

Both times, she was either desperate to live or to help other people live. The Koi Fish God had protected her and helped her achieve her goals.

As for this time, she was solely motivated by her desire to get rich…

To get rich…

It was the desire of an opportunist!

Would the Koi Fish God still bless her and lead her to find the medicinal herbs she wanted?

Qi Qingyao doubted that.

She could only put her palms together and pray.

“Koi Fish God, the last time I released your descendant, a little koi fish, into the pond without having any other thoughts! I didn’t eat it! How benevolent I was! Look at me, I’m not that bad-looking, right? I don’t want you to give me a man now. The only thing I want now is to get rich! I don’t rob and I don’t steal. I only want some herbs that I can sell for money! You must help me make this small wish of mine come true!”

When Jiang Yeqian heard what she was muttering, he could not help but purse his lips. ‘The Heavens gave you two men already! Are you blind?’

Si Jin was walking in front of Qi Qingyao. He listened to the wishes of the woman behind him with a big smile on his face.

Qi Qingyao continued, “O God, I used to be an atheist back then, but now I am your devout believer! It was you that helped me kill a blabbermouth bastard to death with lightning, right? If you love me that much, please love me until I die! Helping a woman is the best deed one can do! With how beautiful I am, I can’t end up as a poor person! Please, help me…”

Si Jin’s smile widened.

Jiang Yeqian did not agree with Qi Qingyao’s words. He said, “What are you going on about?”

“Don’t talk to me. I’m praying to the Koi Fish God to protect me,” Qi Qingyao reprimanded him.

Jiang Yeqian said with disdain, “There’s no Koi Fish God here! This is a secluded forest!”

Si Jin pouted. He harrumphed softly.

Qi Qingyao could not hide her excitement. “What would you know? The Koi Fish God is very powerful! He can hear my prayers!”

Jiang Yeqian: “...”

This woman was so superstitious!

As they continued chatting, they soon reached the waist of the mountain. Suddenly, Si Jin shouted, gesturing toward a direction, “It looks like there are some rare herbs over there!”

Qi Qingyao’s eyes lit up. There were stars in her eyes as she said, “Ah, it must be the blessing of the Koi Fish God!”
