Chapter 641: Chapter 611: I Want to be Jade Rabbit!

Purple-Clothed Immortal reported and then retreated. Gold Star Taibai stepped forward and said, "Your Grace, I have brought the Rabbit."

Yi Zheng stepped forward, "Greetings, Your Grace."

Queen Mother slightly nodded, placed down the book in her hand, and slowly lifted her head to look at Yi Zheng and Gold Star Taibai, "Star Lord, you have worked hard."

Star Lord Taibai insisted it was all part of his duty.

Queen Mother said, "Your task ends here, you may leave. I have matters to discuss with this little fellow alone."

Star Lord Taibai took his leave and withdrew.

With the only familiar face gone, Yi Zheng felt his heart fluttering in the presence of the most distinguished Female Fairy under the heavens; he felt a little anxious.

Queen Mother said, "Rabbit, do you know why I have summoned you here?"

Yi Zheng shook his head repeatedly, knowing he was unfamiliar with ancient etiquette and certain that any movement or speech would lead to mistakes.

But as long as he stayed still and silent, there would be the least chance of making a mistake, and the least likelihood of facing repercussions.

Meanwhile, he took the opportunity to glance at Queen Mother. As always, her face was surrounded by a divine aura, which seemed clear at a glance but could not form a concrete image in one’s mind.

The sensation was like having seen yet not seen, which was rather uncomfortable.

However, every move Queen Mother made radiated with an innate beauty of nature, from which one could infer that the face behind the divine aura must certainly be devastatingly beautiful.

Yet, as soon as he considered her status, Yi Zheng immediately dismissed the scattered thoughts in his mind.

Queen Mother said, "Rabbit, are you aware of the Moon Palace?"

Yi Zheng’s eyes immediately brightened, Moon Palace?

As an Earthling, how could he possibly not know of the Moon Palace?

That was a place countless men dreamt of visiting!

Seeing Yi Zheng nod, Queen Mother continued, "Recently, the Jade Rabbit has gone missing without a trace."

Yi Zheng thought to himself, "Could it be that she wants my help in solving the case?"

He then heard Queen Mother say, "The Jade Emperor, understanding that Chang’e is lonely in the Moon Palace, has decided to send another rabbit to accompany Chang’e."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng’s pupils shone; his heart thumped wildly!

Queen Mother continued, "I see you are quite spirited, so I am considering sending you to the Moon Palace to accompany Chang’e."

Tears nearly welled up in Yi Zheng’s eyes; for the first time, he felt it was truly good to be a rabbit!

Yi Zheng swiftly replied, "No problem at all!"

Queen Mother looked at the excited rabbit, nodded slightly, and then warned, "Rabbit, don’t be so hasty in agreeing.

This is a hard and bitter task. The Moon Palace is bleak and cold, mostly deserted year-round, and the loneliness is the hardest to endure.

There have been many incidents of Jade Rabbits committing suicide because they couldn’t bear the solitude.

Moreover, the Moon was once the abode of the Deity of the Moon and a battlefield from a great war in the past.

Some say that the Yin Soul of the Deity of the Moon lingers, hence various strange incidents often occur on the Moon.

The recent disappearance of the Jade Rabbit might very well relate to these eerie occurrences.

Are you sure you still wish to go?"

Upon hearing of the danger on the Moon, Yi Zheng hesitated.

He certainly fancied Chang’e; which man could resist glancing at Chang’e or resist the idea of being in her company over a long period?

But Yi Zheng’s interest in Chang’e was merely out of curiosity, and he had no intention of risking his own safety for a woman he didn’t know.

Just as Yi Zheng was about to refuse, he keenly detected a sharpness in Queen Mother’s eyes. A shiver ran through him; he realized something.

Queen Mother’s seemingly gentle description of the dangers of the Moon Palace was not to help him analyze the situation and make his own choice.

She was merely stating the circumstances, nothing more!

She called Yi Zheng over, and even though she asked him if he would go, it was a rhetorical question.

Her attitude was clear, she wanted Yi Zheng to go, and Yi Zheng had to go!

Yi Zheng could refuse, but the consequences...

With a bitter smile in his heart, Yi Zheng thought, "Damn, that woman has never brought me any good news when she looks for me!"

Not daring to refuse, he had no choice but to steel himself and agree.

If the deed was already done, he might as well do it beautifully and avoid any trouble. Maybe he could even get some benefits out of it. After considering his options, Yi Zheng immediately exclaimed, "No matter the danger, I am willing to go through fire and water for the great Queen Mother!"

Even though my power is meager, and I’m good for nothing.

Even though I have no treasures for self-defense;

Even though I have no mighty steed;

Even though I have no elixirs to enhance my strength;

Even though I have no powerful cultivation techniques;

But I’m not afraid!

Because I’m working for the Queen Mother, and I would die without regrets!"

Listening to Rabbit declaring his loyalty at the top of his voice, the Queen Mother found it quite pleasing at first, but as she listened further, her face immediately darkened!

Is this what loyalty looks like?

This little brat is trying to pull a fast one on me!

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "Rabbit, dare you bargain with me?"

Yi Zheng hurriedly shook his head, "I wouldn’t dare, I am just stating my loyalty, compensating for my lack of strength with my life.

I believe that the Queen Mother wouldn’t just watch me march to my death; you will surely protect me!"

The Queen Mother remained speechless for a while, her eye twitching at the corner. She had lived for countless years and had seen so many immortals,

but one who’s all talk, trying to strike a bargain and shamelessly poking at herself, she had never met someone like that before.

However, the Queen Mother wasn’t angry; she even laughed, "It’s exactly because of your shameless cunning that I see potential in you."

The Rabbit, who was puffing out his chest and loudly declaring his loyalty, was instantly at a loss for words, thinking to himself, "Is that even a compliment?"

The Queen Mother said, "Rabbit, this task may sound simple, but it’s not easy to carry out.

Chang’e herself is tied to a significant matter that everyone is watching, so many are eyeing the position of the Jade Rabbit by her side. If you want to be the Jade Rabbit, it’s not that straightforward; you’ll need to go through a selection process."

Yi Zheng’s face fell immediately, "You’re kidding, right? I have to compete for a death mission?"

The Queen Mother, again rendered speechless with an eye twitch, still said, "In any case, I don’t care how you do it, I want you to become the Jade Rabbit!"

Yi Zheng immediately patted his chest and declared, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will strive to become the Jade Rabbit and find the true culprit behind the rabbit’s murder!"

The Queen Mother glared at him, "Who told you to investigate the rabbit murder? I have another task for you!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng’s mind raced with rumors he had heard back on Earth, thinking, "Could it really be true that the Jade Emperor fancies Chang’e? Is the Queen Mother really jealous, keeping Chang’e confined to the Moon because of it? Shit, she’s not going to have me investigate whether the Jade Emperor is having an affair with Chang’e, is she?

That’s domestic trouble!

If I handle it well, there’s no reward, but if I mess it up, I’m dead meat!"

Yi Zheng’s head felt as big as a bucket, but outright refusing at this point would probably get him beheaded and served for dinner that night.

"Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time," Yi Zheng muttered to himself, yet his face showed nothing but undying loyalty, "Whatever Your Majesty arranges, I will do! Even if I’m powerless, even if I get killed, chopped, and fried, I will still serve Your Majesty after twenty years!"

...

Bam!

A delicate foot stretched out from behind a door, and a rabbit, as if his bottom was sprung, was kicked flying out. At the same time, the voice of the Queen Mother came through, "When you become the Jade Rabbit, I will tell you what you should do! Don’t come to Kunlun Mountain if it’s not necessary."
