Qin Xue was considering which ones to add more of and which less. For her, these were things she had been doing recently, so she didn’t worry too much about it, as what she was doing were all the most necessary things.

"Alright, be careful." Chu Molin wanted Qin Xue to do this while he handled other tasks, but he didn’t know as many herbs as Qin Xue did. So, to avoid causing trouble for Qin Xue, he decided not to hold her back.

For Chu Molin, whatever he could do, he would do, and what he couldn’t, he would avoid becoming a burden to others, simple as that.

"Hmm." Qin Xue didn’t pay much attention to Chu Molin but instead focused on her own tasks, which she was skilled at; hence, she worked quickly.

The couple worked well together, and before long, they had produced quite a bit. They only needed to move the wine out in a few days.

However, despite having made so much wine, the couple had not seen the children return, which made them a bit worried.

Qin Xue tried reaching Xue Ling, only to find she couldn’t get in touch. What’s going on? Why was there no response?

Qin Xue became anxious. Was she too confident? Had something happened to the children?

She thought of several possibilities in a row, frightening herself. Xue Ling had never been so unreliable before. What should be done?

"Xue’er, what’s wrong?" Chu Molin noticed something was amiss with Qin Xue’s expression. What had happened to make her look like this?

"I can’t reach Xue Ling, and there’s no way to contact Red Snake either. They are alright, aren’t they?" Qin Xue suddenly panicked.

This kind of situation had never happened before. Facing this problem now, she couldn’t help but worry. After all, they were the children she carried for ten months and gave birth to after taking over this body. They were her flesh and blood; how could she remain calm?

"I’ll go check. You go inside and rest, I’ll be back soon." Chu Molin was also concerned, but he knew this was Xue Ling’s domain and with Qin Xue here, nothing would go wrong.

But he couldn’t voice this to Qin Xue. Knowing it himself and saying it out loud were two different concepts. He understood his son well, after all.

"No, I want to go with you to find them." Leaving Qin Xue alone here was impossible for her, so she insisted on going together.

"Alright, I’ll lead you." Chu Molin didn’t oppose. He knew Qin Xue hadn’t been to areas other than the medicine field, peach forest, and bamboo grove. Perhaps this was a good opportunity for them to take a look around together.

This was her domain. If she didn’t even know this, wouldn’t that be a bit too unlikely?

So, Chu Molin thought it would be better for her to see for herself.

"Chu Molin, I’ve had this space for so long, but I’ve never ventured to other places. Isn’t that a waste?" Qin Xue looked around for the first time.

Unexpectedly, it was so different from the outside. It’s not that other places were much worse, but the spiritual energy difference was vast.

For Xue Ling, if it hadn’t been helping her with the children outside, it might have broken through several levels by now, all because she delayed it.

In the future, she’ll have to consider the situation more carefully. If she can have the children inside, she’ll let them stay until Xue Ling breaks through, then let them out again.

The spiritual energy here would benefit the children, so wasn’t this decision quite sensible?

Qin Xue was considering things she hadn’t before. For her, if Xue Ling thrived, it was beneficial to her too, as it would ease a lot of her burdens.

No matter the situation, it was because of Xue Ling that Qin Xue acted like this. So for Xue Ling, she was willing to do more.

"No, you’re doing great. Xue Ling said that by developing this way, you’re also improving yourself, so don’t feel burdened or guilty; it won’t blame you." Chu Molin looked at the self-blaming woman.

She just hadn’t utilized it fully; otherwise, how could it be like this? Plus, she’s worked so hard. How could it be wasteful?
