Chapter 140: Chapter 139 Watching the Game_1

Qin Shou looked at the carriage, touched his cloak, played with his stick, and happily went about his business.

As for whether Tianpeng could help the Moon Palace procure those things, he didn’t care at all. If Tianpeng did it, he would consider it a bonus; if not? He would just get better ones himself later!

That’s right, from the beginning, Qin Shou hadn’t truly intended for Tianpeng to handle Moon Palace’s affairs. He had only two goals: first, to trick some treasures out of him; second, to disgust the guy with all kinds of perverted demands until he left...

Now, with both objectives perfectly achieved, he was naturally feeling splendid...

Shaking his head, Qin Shou didn’t bother with Tianpeng any longer and pondered what to eat...

But as soon as he thought of food, Qin Shou suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Aiya! Jiucai didn’t give me my share!"

Only then did Qin Shou remember that Jiucai ran off without giving him his share of today’s spoils, and he felt extremely annoyed... He hadn’t expected his shrewd boat to capsize in Jiucai’s "airport"...

Having no choice, he settled for some fruits and vegetables...

But eating them dry, not satisfying at all...

Qin Shou smacked his lips and said, "This won’t do, if this goes on, I’ll eventually grow a bird out of my mouth... I must resolve the issue of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar! Oh, why did I forget to mention this to Tianpeng earlier? Such an oversight..."

"What Tianpeng? What oversight?" Just then, a fragrant breeze blew by, and Qin Shou immediately perked up. Turning around, he saw Chang’e standing at the doorway, smiling radiantly at him.

The point was, Chang’e had changed into a new outfit today!

Before, Chang’e always wore simple white clothes without much embellishment, as she had to climb trees to pick osmanthus flowers daily. Even if there were any trims, they would have been torn off or worn away.

Today, however, Chang’e was still in white, but it was that kind of fairy attire, a long white skirt overlayed with green gauze, her hair casually thrown behind her head, giving off an extraordinarily elegant vibe. When the breeze blew, she seemed ready to float away with it.

Looking at Chang’e, Qin Shou felt that there was no woman in this world who could take up even the slightest space in his heart anymore.

"What are you staring at? You’re gawking." Chang’e chuckled as she approached and picked up Qin Shou.

Qin Shou instinctively replied, "Watching the ballgame..."

"What?" Chang’e didn’t hear him clearly.

Qin Shou quickly corrected himself, shouting, "Watching a beauty, a fairy!"

"Always such a sweet talker, but look what I brought you?" Chang’e said, and with a flip of her hand, she had a gleaming golden carrot!

Upon seeing it, Qin Shou’s face instantly darkened. Was she truly treating him like a rabbit? As a man standing over six feet tall, only delicate girls could satisfy his appetite, not a carrot—what did that imply?

"Want to eat?" Chang’e waved the carrot in her hand, smiling.

Seeing her so excited, Qin Shou decided to just play along and shouted, "I want it!"

"You want it?"

"I do!"

"Do you really want it?"

"Yes! I want it!" Qin Shou yelled twice, then suddenly felt something was off—why did the conversation seem to have inadvertently taken on a Japanese vibe? Besides, he was the passive one in this exchange...

With a jolt, Qin Shou thought to himself: This won’t do, I need to assert my masculinity!

So Qin Shou shouted, "Forget it! I don’t want to eat it!"

Seeing this Rabbit throwing a tantrum, Chang’e couldn’t help but laugh. She brought the carrot closer and teased, "Really not eating? Are you mad now?"

"Hmph... Uh-huh!" Qin Shou made two responses, and then, already beginning to drift off in thought, suddenly felt that his own voice sounded... pretty sexy? So he tried harder, "Uhm!"

As a result, Qin Shou felt even more that something was off...

Then, in a fit of anger, he snatched the carrot and stuffed it in his mouth, and then he cried... This damn style is still all wrong!

Chang’e looked at the rabbit going crazy in her arms, utterly confused, and asked, "Yu’er, what’s wrong with you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou, as if retaliating, bit down hard, and a crunch echoed; he chewed the carrot vigorously, saying, "Nothing, just feeling a bit unhappy, I need to adjust my mood. Why doesn’t this carrot have any juice..."

Chang’e looked at Qin Shou, completely taken aback, then put him down on the ground and said slyly, "You ate it? That was for you to grind your teeth on, made of Nether Gold..."

"Uh..." Qin Shou was dumbstruck.

Seeing his stunned expression, Chang’e couldn’t hold back her laughter any longer and burst out laughing, "Silly Rabbit, you actually ate it! Can’t even tell a real carrot from a fake one, haha..."

"You did that on purpose, didn’t you?" Qin Shou suddenly came to his senses, this girl came back throwing balls, offering carrots to tempt him, and didn’t even say they were fake, clearly she was just toying with his big teeth!

The moment Chang’e heard this, she turned and ran, calling out as she went, "I didn’t do anything..."

Qin Shou perked up his ears and shouted, "Didn’t do anything? Then why are you running? Stop right there, take a hit from I, the Rabbit!"

"Er... out of the mouths of babes, I’m not thinking anything..." Qin Shou lamented to himself. Meanwhile, he was in hot pursuit, brandishing the carrot in his hand with the air of a rich young heir chasing after a common girl on the street.

After a commotion, Chang’e suddenly cried out in surprise, "Ah, why is there a new carriage in our yard? It’s so beautiful!"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes, thinking how thick could this girl’s nerves be? It was such a large carriage, placed in such an obvious spot, and she only just noticed it! Truly speechless.

Qin Shou said, "That was sent by Tianpeng Marshal."

"Sent to you?" Chang’e looked at Qin Shou suspiciously.

Qin Shou lifted his head and said, "Of course, he sees my regal and suave demeanor, my extraordinary heroism, and knows I am destined for great achievements. So, he sent me a carriage to butter me up in advance."

"Believe you? That’d be the day!" Chang’e didn’t buy it at all, hands on her hips, her face stern as she said, "Yu’er, I think we need to have a serious talk."

Qin Shou had a bad premonition and weakly asked, "Can we talk after we eat?"

"No!" Chang’e said firmly.

So, whether Qin Shou agreed or not, Chang’e grabbed the rabbit’s ears and pulled him aside, saying seriously, "Yu’er, did you steal something again?"

Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean ’again’?"

"Don’t lie to me!" Chang’e pouted, looking very angry.

Seeing Chang’e genuinely upset, Qin Shou also got serious, "I’m really not lying to you this time, I didn’t steal anything today."

"What about before? Have you stolen things?" Chang’e asked.

Qin Shou thought for a while and said, "Just once, that tree I took because it was nice. The toad attacked me, and I killed it in self-defense. I didn’t even settle the score with its owner, that was quite magnanimous of me."

"What about the other things? Like this carriage," Chang’e asked.

Qin Shou thought about it and decided to come clean, telling Chang’e about everything that had happened that day, as well as the events of the past few days.

Chang’e sat there quietly listening, laughing at the funny parts, worrying when Qin Shou talked about facing punishment... Clearly, this girl wasn’t here to settle accounts; she just wanted an excuse to sit down and have a good chat with Qin Shou, after all, they hadn’t spent much time together these past few days...

ps: I’ve also written the tenth update, but I don’t feel like posting it because I’m not quite satisfied with it yet. I’ll revise it properly before sharing. I’ll make up for it sometime tomorrow evening...
