When they’re all dead, where will I find food then?

So, as a clever fox fairy, one of Xue Ling’s required courses was to deal with the problems his master hadn’t solved in time.

“Really? That’s great; I won’t have to worry about not having food anymore.

And, of course, there’s some for you, little Xue Ling.” Qin Xue was extremely satisfied with this outcome.

“Thank you, Master.” Xue Ling jumped for joy, as it was not easy to obtain this promise from his master.

“Let’s go check on the herbs then.” Qin Xue had already locked the door from inside, so she wasn’t afraid they would discover anything, right?

Since they were already inside, they might as well tidy up the space.

Qin Xue hadn’t checked on the herbs since she planted them.

When she returned later, Xue Ling told her that the herbs could be harvested, but she didn’t have time, so she asked her pet fairy to help collect them.

Qin Xue didn’t know how Xue Ling managed it. Did he really pull them out one by one with his mouth?

“Xue Ling, did you really bite off these herbs one by one?

You’re amazing.” Qin Xue couldn’t believe what she was seeing, the tooth marks on the herbs confirmed her thoughts.

Looking at the tooth marks on the herbs, Qin Xue suddenly felt a little sorry for Xue Ling.

Was she not doing her job as a master properly?

“Master, it’s no big deal. When I gain more cultivation and transform into a human form, things will be easier,” Xue Ling said embarrassingly while maintaining a cute and innocent look.

Qin Xue couldn’t help but rub Xue Ling’s head, messing up his somewhat dirty hair even more.

“Stop teasing me, Master! Look at me now.” Xue Ling wanted to cry but couldn’t, his hair was becoming a tangled mess from her rubbing.

“Alright, I’ll let you off. Now let’s start collecting the mature herbs.” Qin Xue said while smoothing Xue Ling’s hair.

“Let’s go, Master.” Xue Ling trotted ahead while the heavily pregnant Qin Xue walked clumsily behind.

“Xue Ling, not bad, you’ve collected so many already.” Qin Xue looked at the piles of herbs stacked beside the bamboo house.

“Master, I’ve put the herb seeds on the table. After collecting these, we can plant new ones.” Xue Ling thought about the difficulties he had encountered when searching for the seeds.

Luckily, he was a fox fairy; otherwise, the medicinal properties of these herbs would have been too much for him to handle.

Seeing Xue Ling working so hard to help her manage her space, Qin Xue didn’t want to keep wasting time dillydallying.

She took a small stool out from the bamboo house, sat down, and started plucking the herbs slowly.

Thankfully, the herbs didn’t need to be uprooted whole, or else she would’ve had to use a hoe to dig them up one by one, which would have been even more tedious.

Qin Xue didn’t re-sow the seeds until she had finished plucking all the herbs in the small plot.

After sowing the empty land, Qin Xue went to check on the ginseng, Panax notoginseng, and Fallopia on the other half.

Seeing that these precious herbs were growing well, Qin Xue felt truly satisfied. All of these herbs were hers, and the feeling was fantastic.

When Qin Xue finished managing the herbs and wanted to wash her hands before checking on the vegetables, she discovered that the pool she had dug for bathing was now being used by Xue Ling to raise crayfish and crabs.

Qin Xue’s heart raced like a thousand galloping horses.

Thankfully, she had chosen flowing water when digging the pool, so the water could circulate and irrigate the land.

Otherwise, the crayfish and crabs would have been raised in her bathwater, and she wouldn’t be able to eat them.

Good thing she had the foresight, or she would really regret it now.

So, one must always think through the consequences before making decisions.
