Mo Qiang stood up from the ground after she was done growing the potato stems and then turned to look at Mo Xifeng before asking with a suspicious look on her face, " You just thought of me as a devious woman who is acting sneaky right?"
Hearing her question, Mo Xifeng flinched as she had indeed called Mo Qiang sneaky and devious in her head just now. But she was quick to calm down as she did not want Mo Qiang to throw a tantrum at her and then said, " I didn't. I simply thought that if you have such a wonderful power should you not be using it for the betterment of this world without asking anything in return? I did not expect that you would ask for money."
" Xifeng, Xifeng..Xifeng," Mo Qiang wriggled her finger left and right before she stepped out of the fields and then threw an arm around Mo Xifeng's shoulders. She peered up at her little sister and then smiled at her with a devilish expression as she explained, " There was once a wise man or woman, I don't know who but they gave the world a wonderful quote. And that was —— If you are good at something never do it for free. Do you understand what I am trying to say?"
" No, I just think that you are being overly selfish," stated Mo Xifeng but that only made Mo Qiang laugh. She patted Mo Xifeng on the shoulder and calmly said, " I am not trying to be rude, but you see if I just selflessly hand out things then I am afraid we will never be able to get away from the situation we are in at the moment. Have you forgotten Xifeng? We still have millions of coins to earn before we can start building our house and the red storm is going to hit the Dead Star in six months, if we don't build a sturdy house then I am afraid we will be sent flying in the air in the middle of the night."
The Red Storm was a storm filled with electric particles, it would rise from the land of Red Star before moving through various channels and hitting several stars before it came to a stop at the Dead Star. It was not a violent storm but it wasn't a small one either and with their house like this, Mo Qiang was sure that the first one to get roasted would be their family if she did not build a decent house by then.
While the others might be all right, she couldn't help but worry about herself and her father.
Mo Xifeng stared at her sister's serious expression and then sighed. She carefully pondered over what Mo Qiang said and then stated, " I understand what you are trying to do but don't you think that you are rushing too much? What if someone targets you because of your powers?"
" Hmm," Mo Qiang tilted her head and then hummed lightly. She glanced at the magma chasm which glowed a dangerous orange and then remarked, "It's not that I haven't thought about it but the thing is that even if I worry about something like that, I don't think it is going to change anything. After the telecast of the duel with Madam Lian, I don't think I am going to be safe anyway."
She turned to look at Mo Xifeng and then grinned before saying, " If that's the case then I might as well earn as much money as I can till everything is peaceful."
Mo Xifeng closed her eyes after inhaling deeply, she shook her head and then huffed, "It's fine if that is what you want to do but I would like it if you keep me close every time you leave the house. I would be worried in case something happens to you."
