Chapter 144: Small but Awesome
“Hmm~ Not bad, all good things. It’s a pity I didn’t bring enough vases, I’ll come collect from you next time!”
Qin Bei said helplessly as he looked at the vases in front of him that were already full.
He then stood up and walked deeper into the Imperial Garden.
Along the way, whenever Qin Bei spotted any rare ornaments, he would definitely try to take them.
If he could take it, he was all in.
Cluck~ Cluck~
Just as Qin Bei passed through the garden, he heard the sound of chickens. He looked up and saw a few colorful-feathered chickens strutting proudly on the grass of the Imperial Garden. From time to time, they would scratch at the soil with their feet and then lower their proud heads to eat.
Slurp~
When Qin Bei saw these chickens, saliva unashamedly dripped from the corners of his mouth.
He was all too familiar with these chickens—Eight Treasure Chickens.
They were extremely rare; even Emperor Xia was reluctant to eat these Eight Treasure Chickens on ordinary days, making do with their Eight Treasure eggs at most.
Only at the year-end banquet would the Eight Treasure Chickens appear, and only the most powerful would get to eat the meat.
As a prince with three seals, he could at most munch on the Eight Treasure eggs laid by these chickens.
“I’ve wanted to taste the Eight Treasure Chicken for ages! Finally, I’ve caught a break!”
And so…
Cluck, cluck, cluck~~
After a flurry of chaos in the Imperial Garden, Qin Bei looked at the Eight Treasure Chicken in his hands, resisting the urge to roast it right there. Instead, he stuffed it into his Cosmos Bag.
“I’ve struck gold! The Imperial Garden really is filled with treasures!”
Rubbing his hands together, Qin Bei eagerly ventured further inside.
Splash~
The sound of fish leaping out of the water reached Qin Bei’s ears.
He glanced at the big lake next to him, which was way bigger than the prince’s manor.
Using his Double Pupils, Qin Bei discovered all sorts of rare things swimming below.
Eight Treasure Fish, Golden Carp, Blood Turtle of the Ages…
These were all unavailable in Great Xia, having been brought in from other countries or sects.
“Hahaha, here I come~~”
Splash~
Qin Bei dove headfirst into the lake.
“It swims pretty fast!”
Qin Bei remarked in surprise after a miscalculated dive.
But Qin Bei had his own tricks up his sleeve. Utilizing his Extreme Cold Gaze, the formerly happy Golden Carp was instantly frozen into a solid block of ice.
“Hehe~”
Holding up a frozen Golden Carp, Qin Bei surfaced with a grin.
Swish, swish, swish~~
After using this technique repeatedly in a short period, Qin Bei managed to haul in dozens of Golden Carps and Eight Treasure Fish.
“These must be worth millions of spirit stones, right?”
Qin Bei murmured.
Just as he finished speaking, he noticed a Blood Turtle with a two-meter diameter gliding through the water not far away.
“What’s this? The Turtle King?”
Seeing that, Qin Bei immediately lost interest in those little fish.
But before he could swim closer to the Blood Turtle King, it swiftly vanished from sight.
“Damn! A fifth-level Turtle King?”
Qin Bei exclaimed in shock.
He hadn’t expected that these edible treasures could also be at the level of fifth-level monsters.
Luckily, he was now in the Golden Core Realm; otherwise, he would’ve just had to watch this good catch get away.
Splash~ Splash~
Qin Bei chased and scooped all the way, gradually making his way to the center of the Imperial Garden.
His Cosmos Bag was now loaded with plenty of good stuff.
On the way, Qin Bei stumbled upon even rarer and more noble treasures than the Blood Turtle King.
If he could snag those, they would certainly start at tens of millions of spirit stones.
However, sensing the opponent’s cultivation comparable to the Crossing Tribulation Realm, Qin Bei opted to abandon the capture idea.
He figured he’d come back next time for those high-grade catches.
When he returned to the shore, Qin Bei discovered that he had somehow reached the very center of the Imperial Garden.
Just a simple probe revealed many powerful auras.
“Forget it, not worth the trouble, I’ll come back again later!”
Tightening his Cosmos Bag, Qin Bei prepared to leave.
But as he turned around, he spotted a group of white horses drinking water not far from the lake.
Each horse had a pair of white wings on its back.
“Pegasus? And what is that?”
Qin Bei noticed a fist-sized object swaying on the back of one of the Pegasus.
It was small and truly awesome.
Seated atop the Pegasus, the proud one showed no signs of resistance whatsoever.
