Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Extorting 【Fourth Update】_1

Enemies are most dangerous when hidden in the dark; the safest method is to keep them right under your eyes, watch them hop around, and then hand them a fly swatter... and they still won’t know...

Thus, Qin Shou chuckled.

"Rabbit, what are you staring at?" Tianpeng felt prickly all over from the rabbit’s gaze; he had a feeling that the first time the rabbit looked at him, it was with unfamiliarity. But now, the way it looked at him had changed, like a butcher sizing up a pig, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

At these words, Qin Shou raised an eyebrow and stretched out a paw, scraping his fingers as he said, "Nothing much, but since you want to get to know me, you should be aware of my rules, right? Did you bring a greeting gift?"

"Uh..." Tianpeng was instantly dumbfounded. He was the commander of the Milky Way sailors, one of The Big Dippers, one of the four gods of the North Pole, and one of the four Marshals of the Heavenly Court! With his status, wherever he went, wasn’t he the one everyone sought to please? Suddenly one day, he encountered a guy holding out a paw asking for a gift, and he really wasn’t used to it.

Seeing this, Qin Shou curled his lip and said, "Uh what? It’s a rule... You’re not telling me you don’t know it, are you?"

Qin Shou leaned in, looking as if he would blacklist Tianpeng if he showed any sign of ignorance.

What could Tianpeng say? He had his own little schemes, but with gritted teeth, he pulled out a golden Heart Guard Mirror from his bosom and handed it to Qin Shou, saying, "This is a Heart Guard Mirror, it can save your life at a critical moment. How about it?"

Qin Shou took it, gave it a look, and saw that the Heart Guard Mirror was indeed not bad - shiny gold, with strong fluctuations of Yuan Qi inside, clearly not the junk given by any One Star rogue immortals.

Qin Shou pocketed it, then extended his hand again and said, "Consider this compensation for the mental distress you caused me earlier."

Tianpeng’s face immediately darkened. He had seen shameless before, but never someone this shameless!

For the first time, Tianpeng slightly regretted meeting this rabbit. But then he thought that to get close to that dreamlike figure, this was the only path...

Thus, Tianpeng gritted his teeth and was about to take out something else.

But then he heard the rabbit say, "The carriage you were just riding is not bad, give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng’s eyes nearly bulged out. It’s already shameless to ask for gifts, but to specifically demand one? Can’t this guy have a little shame?

Seeing Tianpeng’s expression, Qin Shou pursed his lips and said, "How can you be so tightfisted and make friends? Forget it, then, forget it, I’m going home."

When Tianpeng saw that the rabbit was about to leave and had no intention of returning the Heart Guard Mirror, he suddenly felt his temper flare and called out, "Rabbit, you’re leaving just like that? You took my Heart Guard Mirror!"

Qin Shou laughed and retorted, "Took your Heart Guard Mirror? Did I demand it, or did you give it to me?"

"You demanded, and I gave!" Tianpeng said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "Right, you gave it, so it’s mine now. It’s mine now, why should I give it back to you?"

Tianpeng: "Uh..."

Qin Shou said, "That’s the way it is; you better think it over yourself."

Tianpeng became frantic: "Wait... hang on, Rabbit, we can negotiate... Can we change the request?"

Qin Shou tugged at his big ears and said, "That’s not impossible. I heard you have a rake that’s pretty good..."

"It’s yours!" Tianpeng’s heart sank upon hearing this, cursing internally. How did that damn rabbit know that he had just gotten a rake? He was very aware that his rake, although ceremonial, was made by the Supreme Elder Lord with the combined strength of numerous Heavenly Gods, including the Six Dings and Six Jias. It represented both face and strength. How could he bear to give it to the rabbit? He gritted his teeth and handed over the carriage to the rabbit to avoid any more unreasonable demands.

Meanwhile, a set of operation incantations was sent to Qin Shou.

When Qin Shou saw the carriage, his brows lifted, and his eyes started to twinkle with joy. Riding the Cloud, Drive the Mist was after all a minor spell, with limited flying speed. Even with the boost from the High Speed Magic, the pace was not too fast. But this carriage was different. A flying magic treasure, not only comfortable to sit in but also faster! Most importantly, using this thing to pick up girls, taking a beauty for a spin, how stylish would that be?

Tianpeng watched Qin Shou laughing so happily, and his heart was bleeding...

Ever since he saw Chang’e at the Mid-Yuan Festival, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. She was all he could think about every day.

If it were any other fairy, he would have paid her a visit immediately. But with a guilty conscience, naturally, he had more concerns. He worried she might overthink it, worry she could reject him, worry about making a bad impression, etc.

After much thought, he ventured out of the Milky Way multiple times intending to visit the Moon, but eventually, he held back each time.

Finally, he came up with a plan: to start with the Rabbit!

As the saying goes, to charm a girl, charm her best friend first. Take a circuitous route forward...

He had thought it through. By getting to know Chang’e through the Rabbit, he would then have to display his skills: office, wealth, status, capability, appearance - he had to showcase it all. Therefore, personal branding was essential. Thus, he spent a fortune to tailor-make this Pegasus Dragon Carriage. But he had just taken it out for a spin to show off when this damn rabbit conned it away from him, how heart-wrenching...

But the thought that getting close to this rabbit would allow him to meet Chang’e, he gritted his teeth and accepted it.

Watching Qin Shou continuously fiddling with the Pegasus Dragon Carriage, Tianpeng couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Rabbit, this carriage is a Xuan class treasure. I spent a lot of money to build it. I wouldn’t give it to you if I didn’t consider you a friend."

Qin Shou gave a thumbs up, clearly very satisfied, but inwardly he was muttering, "If you’re pulling out all the stops for a stranger, you’re either after something massive or you’re definitely a fool."

Unfortunately for you, I am no fool. You gave away the item, but trying to woo our girl? No way!

Hence, Qin Shou cheerfully said, "Not bad, not bad. We’re acquainted now. You can go home now!"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng was stunned. Go home? It wasn’t easy for him to get time off to come out, and it certainly wasn’t to return home! He wanted to go to the Moon, to the Moon Palace, to see Chang’e!

So, Tianpeng looked at Qin Shou with a pitiful expression and said, "As good friends, aren’t you going to invite me to your place?"

Qin Shou stroked his chin and said, "As good friends, that’s exactly why I’m not inviting you over to my place. My home is too poor...we don’t have much...so, better not."

"Uh..." Tianpeng had never seen someone so uncooperative. He suspiciously regarded the naive-looking Rabbit, wondering if he was serious or just teasing him to prevent him from visiting.

But having given away the treasure, if he couldn’t even enter the gates of the Moon Palace, it would not sit well with him.

Suddenly, Tianpeng had a brainwave and smiled, "Alright, let’s not go there then. I’ve got to leave for some urgent business!"

After saying that, Tianpeng indeed left.

Qin Shou watched Tianpeng’s retreating figure and shook his head, saying, "Fool..."

After that, Qin Shou took out the carriage, silently recited the incantation, and began channeling Yuan Qi into the Pegasus Dragon Carriage. The next moment, the Pegasus Dragon Carriage came to life. The celestial horses galloped energetically, lifting the carriage into the sky, which grew larger and larger... Then, with a neigh, two white celestial horses burst forth, pulling a silver carriage that came to a halt in front of Qin Shou.

The more Qin Shou looked at the carriage, the more he loved it. He couldn’t contain his laughter and exclaimed, "If I, the mighty Rabbit, had a carriage like this on Earth, I’d definitely set up in front of a school gate and sell bottled water, showcasing it all the way!"

PS: That’s it for tonight, there’s one more update, but it’s not revised yet; it needs some time. The rest I’ll write overnight...
