Rabbit Must Die

Chapter 157: Chapter 156 Patience_1

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Ban was taken aback. How did it happen that, in the middle of their conversation, the rabbit was coming to him?

But once spoken, words are like spilled water—you can’t take them back. And a promise assured to the Jade Emperor couldn’t be retracted, even if he wanted to.

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Agreed!"

Li Jing was also startled. He hadn’t slept all of last night, pondering how to kick the rabbit out of Shushan to give his child a quiet place to study. Throughout the night, he thought of all sorts of ideas and had gone through every argument and countermeasure of Wenqu he could envision. He racked his brain with the help of a group of strategists until it nearly fried...

In the end, when he brought it up today, he didn’t need to say much. Lu Ban came over and caused a bit of chaos, and just like that, it was settled...

If he had known it would be this simple, why did he waste so many brain cells? Thinking this, he gave Lu Ban a somewhat resentful glance, but since his objective was achieved, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thus, this weekly large-scale early morning court session came to an end, and all the Immortals dispersed.

At the same time, a letter flew towards the moon.

Smack!

A sheet of paper landed in front of the rabbit, who was in the middle of a meal. Qin Shou was startled. What was this?

Picking it up and looking it over, Qin Shou’s eyebrows furrowed. "They’re transferring me just like that? Is this graduation or expulsion? I think Shushan was quite nice..." Qin Shou muttered, smacking his lips.

Although he hadn’t been at Shushan for long, Qin Shou genuinely thought the classmates at Wenqu Palace were quite nice, and the teachers were okay too... if only the bathroom breaks were a bit shorter.

But since it was a transfer ordered from above, he didn’t have much to say. He planned to go say his goodbyes when the school reopened in a couple of days.

But if he was going to say goodbye, he should bring some gifts, right?

Thinking it over, Qin Shou realized he didn’t have much to give. So, he spread his hands, deciding not to bring anything!

Qin Shou had finally gotten some time off, and Chang’e had also taken leave, so the two of them decided to stay at home and tend to their apple tree. Now that Qin Shou could summon water, the apple tree immediately perked up; its leaves grew more luxuriant, and small fruits even began to sprout among the branches, bringing great satisfaction to them both.

So, Qin Shou decided to vigorously develop the apple tree farming business.

Then, Qin Shou and Chang’e cut some branches from the apple tree and began the uncertain activity of propagating cuttings...

Before long, over twenty apple tree saplings were planted, covered with soil, and watered. The rest was up to their will to survive and vitality.

Meanwhile, outside the moon, a figure skulked about covertly.

"To go... or not to go? To go? Or not to go..." Tianpeng Marshal plucked at a bunch of flowers, tearing off the petals one by one, looking utterly conflicted and sheepish.

"If I go and that damn rabbit asks why the Milky Way water hasn’t arrived, won’t I be embarrassed? And about the furniture, it seems I’ve forgotten that in the hustle and bustle... If I don’t go, after having come this far, wouldn’t it be rude not to stop by?" What Tianpeng Marshal meant by "passing by" was that he took a detour home when he passed a mountain inside the Heavenly Court, and somehow ended up outside the Heavenly Court...

"Right, I’m just passing by, will meet up, take a glance, say hello, leave an impression and then I’m off! Won’t give that rabbit a chance to speak! Yeah, that’s the plan! Oh, and these flowers, I’ll just deliver them and leave. Flowers represent my heart, no need to say anything else." Tianpeng Marshal made up his mind and looked down.

"My flowers... why are they all wilted! Curse my hands..." Tianpeng Marshal slapped his left hand with his right hand three times as a warning to himself, then threw the flowers away, fixed his hair and muttered, "First official visit and bringing flowers is too abrupt, yeah, just say hello will do!"

So, Tianpeng Marshal descended.

In that instant, the sky was covered by a layer of dark clouds, but they dispersed shortly after without any lightning appearing.

Tianpeng Marshal came down from his cloud, adjusted his hair again to ensure he was looking his best, then cleared his throat and walked towards the main gate. But just as he reached it, he saw a rabbit sitting at the doorway, chin propped up in hand, seemingly pondering something.

And, the rabbit spotted him in an instant, then opened its mouth: "Hey, where’s the water?"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng Marshal’s face darkened and he said, "Busy today, off to do something else, see you another day."

Then Tianpeng Marshal zoomed off and disappeared...

Qin Shou sneered, "With such a thin skin, still trying to flirt... Geez... These immortals really need to be sent down to Earth’s elementary and middle schools to be re-educated."

Seeing this pig coming, Qin Shou knew he was probably not ready to give up yet. Therefore, Qin Shou waited at the main gate, confident that this pig couldn’t come up with any more trickery!

Scale the wall?

If Tianpeng Marshal still cared about his face, there’s no way he’d do something like that. Otherwise, if caught by the rabbit, losing face would be one thing, but being dragged directly to the Jade Emperor, that would be a big stain on his reputation.

So, Qin Shou wasn’t worried at all and just guarded the main gate. He was curious to see what tricks Tianpeng Marshal could possibly pull off.

Tianpeng Marshal indeed hadn’t left, he had just turned the corner and hidden himself, squatting in a corner and watching the main gate for two hours!

"Damn it, has this rabbit gone mad? There’s a beauty inside and he doesn’t bother, just sits by the doorway?" Tianpeng Marshal cursed inwardly, but he was not ready to give up, "I’ve gone through the trouble to come by today; can’t miss this opportunity. I’ll see whose patience runs out first! I don’t believe you can keep sitting there for another two hours?"

No sooner had he spoken than the rabbit stood up.

Tianpeng Marshal immediately laughed, "Haha... damn rabbit, you can’t beat me in patience, can you?"

However, the next moment he was taken aback. He saw the rabbit pull a table out of the Black Demon Box on its chest and set it at the doorway—it looked like it was preparing to sleep there!

Tianpeng Marshal’s face instantly turned dark. He had seen dedication, but this was another level! Did he consider himself a thief-guarding? He, the great Tianpeng Marshal, would steal from their house? Besides, other than Chang’e, what was there to steal from the Moon Palace?

Thinking of Chang’e, Tianpeng Marshal’s heartbeat sped up, growing even more unwilling to leave...

"Fine, you’re tough! I won’t go in and chat then, but I can at least take a look!" With that, Tianpeng Marshal attempted to scale the wall while invisible. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and with a careful look, he exclaimed, "Good grief, there’s an anti-invisibility array inside the Moon Palace. Lucky I know a bit about arrays, otherwise, if I had barged in recklessly, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?"

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Tianpeng Marshal squatted in the corner and studied the array for a long while. In the end, he realized the person who set up the array must be a master, way beyond his reach—he simply couldn’t break it!

Thus, reluctantly, shaking his head and still unwilling to give up, he said, "You think you can stop me, Tianpeng Marshal, with this? Too naïve! Witness my 36 Changes!"
