Rabbit Must Die

Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Arms Dealer_1

"Rabbit, do you have a stomach flu?" Master Lu asked with concern, but his expression clearly said, "Damn it, that’s what you get for eating so many of my trees, consider it revenge! Haha..."

"Master, if you dare to put your foot-wiping cloth to my mouth again, I will make sure you won’t have a single blade of grass left to eat!" Qin Shou said with a dark face.

Upon hearing that, Master Lu burst out laughing, "Haha... You fool, the cloth my wife gave me was too big, so I cut it into two pieces, one for wiping my face and the other for wiping my feet. The one I used on you was the clean one."

Qin Shou sighed with relief upon hearing this.

Then he heard Master Lu exclaim in surprise, "Oh damn, I picked up the wrong one..."

"I’m going to kill you!" Qin Shou leaped up with a roar.

Master Lu took to his heels.

Qin Shou chased after him, howling.

After causing a commotion for a while, Master Lu looked up at the sky and said, "It seems that bastard really left."

"What bastard?" Qin Shou asked, puzzled.

Master Lu explained, "There’s no heavenly tribulation in the Heavenly Court; even when there’s wind and rain, it’s all scheduled. This kind of sudden thunder, especially the soul-locking type, I’ve never seen it in all these years. To say it’s a natural phenomenon, I wouldn’t believe it even if I were beaten to death."

Qin Shou asked, "You mean to say someone is targeting me?"

Master Lu shook his head, "I don’t know. It’s possible someone is targeting you, and they are extremely clean with their methods, not leaving a single trace behind; or perhaps you, this rabbit, are such a bastard that even god wants to strike you dead."

Qin Shou made a gesture of concession and said, "Let’s just agree to disagree..."

Upon hearing that, Master Lu raised his hand and slapped Qin Shou, sending him tumbling as he said, "Agree to disagree my ass, I’m a good person, not even close to being on the same level as you."

Qin Shou wasn’t angry...

After everything that had just happened, Qin Shou could tell that despite Master Lu’s scathing tongue, love for vanity, slight obsession with cleanliness, somewhat overbearing nature, and a bit of a mean streak, overall, there were some redeeming qualities about him.

At least, he was quite protective of his disciples...

Qin Shou was well aware that Master Lu taking him away from the crowd to this desolate mountain was for the purpose of fishing out and annihilating the person behind the scenes. This was tantamount to standing up for him and protecting him.

So, Qin Shou took this kindness to heart.

Just like he had said before, Qin Shou was one to hold grudges as well as remember kindness. He could feel every bit of goodwill shown towards him.

To those who treated him well, he was an easygoing damn rabbit, and to those who didn’t, he was a bastard of a rabbit that would eat away at your ability to even buy underwear...

"Alright, stay here, and remember, don’t wander off." Master Lu said as he brought Qin Shou back to the edge of the Divine Wood Hall in the Divine Wood Valley.

Qin Shou glanced at the Divine Wood Hall and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be on my best behavior."

Seeing the look in Qin Shou’s eyes, Master Lu raised an eyebrow and warned, "Don’t you dare gnaw on my Divine Wood Hall!"

Qin Shou spread his hands and replied, "Rest assured, I won’t, I’m a good person, you know."

Master Lu nodded and said, "I’ll trust you this one time."

Then Master Lu called over Lu Yi and Lu Er and said, "If there’s another heavenly tribulation, just bombard it with artillery! No matter what it is, if it’s blown to smithereens, it’s on me!"

"Yes, Master!" Lu Yi and Lu Er acknowledged the order.

Only then did Master Lu leave with peace of mind, tearing through the sky as he departed.

After Master Lu left, Qin Shou asked in surprise, "You guys have artillery too?"

Lu Er tilted his head back, pridefully declaring, "Of course, we’ve got not just artillery, but also Heaven Destroying Thunder, Heaven Breaking Mechas, and the like. In short, as long as you stay in Divine Wood Valley, no matter what kind of heavenly thunder comes, we’ll squash it for you!"

Lu Yi, who was relatively more composed, smacked Lu Er on the head and said, "Stop talking big." Then he turned to Qin Shou and continued, "Rabbit, Divine Wood Valley has more than just statues, desks, and chairs—we also have various siege engines powerful enough that even an Earthly Immortal could be blasted to death with one strike. Even beings higher than Earthly Immortals wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in our Divine Wood Valley. After all, we’re not alone here; next door in Artisan Valley, there’s a whole group of divine beings. If anyone dares to stir up trouble, facing the wrath of numerous Craftsman Gods, even a Great Golden Immortal would leave with a bloody nose."

Only then did Qin Shou realize just how formidable Divine Wood Valley was, thinking to himself, "I thought they were just a bunch of furniture sellers, but they’re all arms dealers; badass, badass..."

"Rabbit, let us give you a tour of Divine Wood Valley. Also, from now on, try not to eat the trees on such a large scale. These trees are top-quality materials, used to make various weapons and mechas with no small might," Lu Yi cautioned.

Qin Shou bared his teeth to show understanding, though whether he truly understood was unclear to anyone.

Meanwhile, Master Lu flew straight to Lingxiao Hall.

At the entrance, he saw the Taibai Star Monarch standing there, wearing a cheerful smile as he watched him approach.

Before Master Lu could speak, the Taibai Star Monarch said with a laugh, "Master, have you come because of the soul locking heavenly tribulation?"

Master Lu nodded.

The Taibai Star Monarch said, "The Jade Emperor is already aware of the matter. Just now, Puhua Thunder Venerable of Nine Supreme Heavens has already paid a visit, saying that this tribulation was not released by the Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarch. As for the origin of this tribulation, the Venerable believes it was formed naturally."

Master Lu frowned and retorted, "Natural my foot... Do you believe that? I find this whole situation quite strange. It wouldn’t be because Master Wen wants to eat braised rabbit, would it? Also, my disciple is just a rabbit, so why would anyone target my student? And what exactly is my disciple anyway? With teeth so strong, I’ve even thought about breaking them off to make a magic treasure."

The Taibai Star Monarch shook his head and replied, "Master, Master Wen is not that kind of person. If he were to make a move, he wouldn’t deny it. As for the rabbit’s identity, to be honest, I’m not clear on that either. However, this rabbit seems to have quite the background. Even the Jade Emperor would rather not delve into it, so it might be best for you to ask less about it."

"Fine, I won’t ask anymore. But you still need to take this lightning matter seriously, don’t you?" Master Lu asked.

The Taibai Star Monarch nodded and said, "It has already been handed over to the people of Tianji Tower for investigation."

Master Lu, still frowning, remarked, "Since it’s not the doing of the Thunder Department, if that thing appears again, I’m not going to hold back."

The Taibai Star Monarch smiled and responded, "Feel free to take action, Master. Finding some clues would naturally be a good thing."

Master Lu nodded, then turned and left.

Once Master Lu had gone, the Taibai Star Monarch sighed and muttered, "Ascension Bridge, soul locking heavenly tribulation... all this mess, why is everything having problems now, ah..."

Qin Shou, oblivious to what Master Lu was up to, didn’t give it much thought. Although this bout of thunder was quite strange, Qin Shou understood one principle: power is everything. Without power, whether the cause can be found or not is one thing; even if it’s discovered, what then?

Lu Yi and Lu Er took Qin Shou around Divine Wood Valley, giving him a fair understanding of the area.

Divine Wood Valley was divided into a living area and a Tree Grazing Area. The living area was where everyone freely chose a mountain peak for cultivation; the Tree Grazing Area was divided into the Xuan Area, Huang Area, and the common area.

The common area was the outermost trees which, according to Lu Er, were just a bunch of ordinary trees from the mortal realm, nothing to fuss over.
