Rabbit Must Die
Chapter 145 - 144 Run West_1

Chapter 145: Chapter 144 Run West_1

The people below immediately took orders, stoked the flames, prepared all sorts of spices and sat waiting to eat the rabbit...

At this very moment, Qin Shou felt completely satisfied, sitting to the side and sighed, "Ah... Of all the delicacies, I love seafood the most. Seafood is great, it marinates itself. Afterward, be it steamed, boiled, or braised in soy sauce, it always tastes sweet and delicious. This is truly a divine gift from up above..."

Chang’e covered her slightly bulging belly and nodded, "Mmm, it’s indeed delicious... but I wonder where this lobster came from."

Qin Shou said, "Who cares, are you going to eat the rest?"

Chang’e looked at the remaining meat and shook her head, "I can’t eat anymore, I’m so full."

Qin Shou said, "Then I’ll keep it, and we can continue in the evening."

"Alright, after eating our fill, let’s go study. Remember not to cause any trouble, okay?" Chang’e asked.

With a nonchalant air, Qin Shou said, "Don’t worry, as long as they don’t provoke me, I’ll be good..."

Having said that, Qin Shou scurried off, only to see a burly man squatting behind a tree, sneakily watching the gate as soon as he stepped outside.

Upon seeing him, Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "Gang, what are you doing here?"

Wu Gang sniffed his nose and said, "I smelled the scent of seafood. Rabbit, did you score some good stuff?"

Qin Shou looked at Wu Gang in astonishment and said, "You got a dog’s nose or what?"

"You really got seafood?" Wu Gang got excited.

"Of course, but why the excitement? I’ve got some, but who said it’s for you? Where’s my magic?" Qin Shou, while speaking, pulled out a lobster claw and fiddled with it in his hand.

Gang’s eyes lit up instantly, and he swallowed his saliva, "My magic’s fixed, hurry up and let me have a taste of that lobster. Dammit, after so many years, my mouth almost forgot what flavors are!"

At the same time, Wu Gang taught Qin Shou a chant and how to operate the magic. Although Qin Shou didn’t understand magic, after understanding the principle behind this magic, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Good heavens, you can summon all the water in the world out of thin air? And the operational principle of this magic, I can’t understand it at all..."

"That’s how it should be, your comprehension of the Dao is too shallow. I’ve racked my brains to the brink of death just to simplify this magic, ensuring you could use it. Anyway, you’re just watering plants, this magic is more than enough for you," said Wu Gang.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes brightened, "Is there an enhanced version of this magic?"

Wu Gang said, "No shit... But don’t get your hopes up, you can’t use it anyway. And about this magic, don’t spread it around."

Since Qin Shou was going to use it himself, and Wu Gang said not to spread it, then he wouldn’t. However, he thought about it and couldn’t imagine any fellow being interested in a magic just for watering plants.

So, Qin Shou asked, "What’s this magic called?"

Wu Gang said, "Don’t know... you name it."

Qin Shou was dumbfounded, "You don’t know either?"

"What’s so strange about that? Stop wasting time and let me have a taste of that lobster. I’m drooling here," Wu Gang said.

Qin Shou took out the remaining lobster and threw it to Wu Gang, who, upon catching it, started drooling and didn’t bother with Qin Shou anymore as he ran off.

However, after running for a bit, Wu Gang came back and said, "Rabbit, did you notice it thundered just now in the sky?"

Qin Shou nodded and said, "Saw it, so what?"

Wu Gang said, "That lightning struck in your yard. Did you know?"

Shocked, Qin Shou replied, "Struck our yard? No way, our yard doesn’t have a single damaged spot, perfectly intact. Are you sure it struck in our yard?"

Wu Gang shook his head and said, "It’s too far, too fast. However, there’s very little rain on the moon, and thunderstorms are almost unseen. A bolt from the blue like that, it’s probably not a natural phenomenon. You guys take care, and if anything happens..."

Qin Shou’s eyes lit up, and his heart warmed as he thought to himself: This brother is reliable, he’s actually offering to help!

Then he heard Wu Gang say with a serious face, "Run west."

Qin Shou, excited, asked, "What’s in the west? Is there someone who can save us?"

Having read many novels, Qin Shou was familiar with the trope where a wise man directs the protagonist where to run, and upon arrival, they are aided by a noble person, leading to a meteoric rise. So, he guessed Wu Gang meant something similar, which is why he was a little excited.

But then he heard Wu Gang shake his head and say, "I don’t know what’s in the west, but I am to your east... just don’t get me involved."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou picked up a stone and threw it at him: "Screw off, you heartless jerk!"

And then Wu Gang actually ran away...

Qin Shou was speechless, but he remembered what Wu Gang had said, the lightning had struck his own yard, yet there were no changes in the yard... So, where was the lightning?

Unsettled, Qin Shou ran back into the Moon Palace. At that moment, Chang’e came out and said with a smile, "Yu’er, why are you back again? Don’t even think about skipping class."

"I’m not skipping class. I’m just strolling around, you go on ahead." Qin Shou was eager for Chang’e to leave quickly. If there was any danger in the Moon Palace, he wasn’t afraid of much except for Chang’e being in danger.

So after Chang’e left, Qin Shou searched the Moon Palace high and low, inside and out, but found nothing, not a trace of a lightning strike.

Finally, with a helpless shake of his head, Qin Shou left the Moon Palace, soared into the sky, and headed straight for Shushan.

At that very moment, in the Southern Sea Dragon Palace, where the Array was activated, the old dragons watching the moon were anxiously awaiting, and after a long time, they saw Chang’e fly out alone, heading straight for the Heavenly Court.

The Western Sea Dragon King laughed heartily, saying, "Chang’e emerged alone, without that Rabbit. It seems the shrimp general has succeeded, haha..."

"But isn’t Chang’e heading to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint?" The Dragon King of the Northern Sea, the youngest and most worried, asked.

"File a complaint? She’s just a little fairy, whether she can even enter the Lingxiao Hall is debatable. Besides, it was the Rabbit that provoked us first. For a mere wild rabbit, the Jade Emperor won’t give us too hard a time. At worst, we’ll just compensate him with a litter of rabbits," laughed Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, evidently not taking the Rabbit and Chang’e too seriously.

Just then, the Turtle Prime Minister suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesties, look quickly!"

The four Dragon Kings looked at the Array and saw a Rabbit flying out of the moon’s mist... and then with a wave of its hand, a chariot appeared out of thin air. The Rabbit got on the chariot and headed towards the Southern Gate.

The four Dragon Kings were dumbstruck, feeling their old faces twinge with embarrassment...

Afterwards, they looked at each other and... finally,

The Dragon King of the Northern Sea said, "Second brother, it seems your shrimp general has failed. If he hasn’t returned by now, it’s more likely bad news than good. It seems we have underestimated this Rabbit."

"Not necessarily, maybe the shrimp general just ran into some other trouble... Let’s not forget, the moon is forbidden territory. It’s normal for there to be dangers there," said the Western Sea Dragon King.

The South Sea Dragon King’s face turned grim; it was rather embarrassing to be unable to handle even a Rabbit in front of his own brothers.

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea said, "Let’s just wait then. The Rabbit is not on the moon anyway, we’ll deal with it when it returns. If the shrimp general comes back, we’ll hear what he has to say. If he still hasn’t returned by then, it won’t be too late to send someone up to capture the Rabbit."

Everyone nodded in agreement, repeatedly voicing their approval.
