Chapter 179: Chapter 178: Can’t Go, Unable to Move_1

Phew!

The flame Jiucai blew out changed rapidly from red to brighter and brighter hues, finally turning into a golden color!

The golden flame, which was not only hot but also adhesive, stuck to Qin Shou’s body without extinguishing, continuing to burn.

In an instant, Qin Shou transformed from a black rabbit into a rabbit ablaze with golden flames!

Qin Shou waved his hand and a puddle of water appeared on the ground. He leaned over to look at his reflection and laughed, "Hey, I look pretty handsome on fire! Tell me honestly, Jiucai, do you burn me because you think it makes me look even more dashing?"

Sss...

As Qin Shou leaned over, the puddle quickly evaporated completely, evidence of the flame’s extreme heat.

"Pah! I wanted to roast rabbit meat; that’s why I burned you. Unfortunately... What on Earth is your rabbit skin made of? Even my newly mastered, more powerful Phoenix True Fire can’t hurt you..." Jiucai said, looking at the lively and still vain rabbit, speechless.

Qin Shou replied, "I am endowed with unparalleled talent and magic; it’s just that I was born a bit late. Otherwise, I would be the Jade Emperor by now, haha..."

Jiucai rolled his eyes and said, "You and the Jade Emperor, huh? If you’re the Jade Emperor, then I’m the Queen Mother... *cough*..."

"What?" Qin Shou glanced at Jiucai.

With a hmph, Jiucai said, "I am Queen Mother of the West!"

Qin Shou burst into laughter and said, "That’s not what you just said."

Jiucai gave the rabbit a glare then turned and walked away, saying, "I can’t be bothered with you! I’m off to school. This is your share; you better not snitch on me, or else you’ll be eating dirt from now on!"

With a casual toss, Qin Shou caught what was thrown at him; in his hands was a simple space bag, not very large—about the size of a house. He opened the bag to a surprising sight: it was filled with chickens, ducks, fish, and even turtles and soft-shelled turtles!

Smacking his lips, Qin Shou commented, "Jiucai, this isn’t hunting, this is collecting specimens."

"I’ll do as I please; mind your own beeswax! Hmph!" Jiucai shot back, already walking off into the distance.

Shaking his head, Qin Shou casually stashed the bag into the Black Demon Box.

Just then, a cough came from behind: "Rabbit, I didn’t see anything just now."

Qin Shou jolted, turning to see the Land God looking at him with a smile.

Qin Shou looked at the Land God’s beaming smile and then at Jiucai. He suddenly understood, "You know?"

The Land God shook his head, "I don’t know anything."

But the Land God’s expression clearly said, "I know everything!"

Qin Shou knew that the Land God was deliberately turning a blind eye, but on second thought, it didn’t really matter to him.

The Land God had said that the Fierce Beast Park was under the authority of the God of Food, who rarely cooked, and even when he did, he didn’t share with others, naturally making it scarce.

Since the supply was limited, they would definitely choose the best ingredients, who would have time to glance at the wild beasts around here...

Therefore, no one actually ate the wild beasts in the Fierce Beast Park; they were just there. Better to let them benefit the rabbits.

Now it seemed to Qin Shou that the Land God must have known about Jiucai stealing the wild beasts for a while, but had simply turned a blind eye to it.

With this in mind, Qin Shou cupped his hands and said, "I won’t say anything either; that’s the gist of it..."

The Land God laughed and said, "Rabbit, are you here to see that little Phoenix?"

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "No, I’m just here to ask you, does the God of Food take apprentices or not?"

The Land God was startled, then looked the rabbit up and down with a laugh, "You want to become an apprentice to the God of Food?"

Qin Shou nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, since I’m free anyway, it’s better to pick up a skill. That way I can earn a meal in the future, right?"

The Land God laughed, "Okay, then I’ll talk to the God of Food for you. If there’s any news, I’ll let you know."

"How will you notify me?" Qin Shou was extremely concerned about this matter, as it related to his future prospects for delicious food!

The Land God took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Qin Shou, "Take this. If I have any news, the jade pendant will heat up. Then you can come here, and I’ll tell you in person."

Qin Shou nodded repeatedly. With the matter settled, he chatted with the Land God for a while longer before taking his leave.

When he saw the Land God again, Qin Shou remembered that he seemed to owe the Land God a walking stick... but where could he find a suitable, good quality walking stick?

Although he could refine artifacts, he only knew how to make some rather ordinary items, which of course weren’t suitable for giving as gifts.

While he was pondering this, a streak of golden light flashed in front of him, and then a figure descended. Qin Shou focused his eyes and immediately laughed, thinking to himself that this was perfect timing as if someone had brought a pillow just as he was dozing off!

"Haha... Brother Rabbit, long time no see. It’s such a coincidence to bump into you today, haha..."

The person was none other than Tianpeng Marshal. Last time, he went to the Moon Palace to steal chickens but ended up almost being stewed, and he seemed to have been recognized, which was a big loss for him.

In the past few days, Tianpeng felt somewhat guilty like a thief, and therefore, had not visited the Moon Palace.

Today, he couldn’t hold back anymore; he first went to the Moon Palace, knocked on the door with no one answering, and then he roamed around looking for a chance to meet with Chang’e.

He really didn’t dare to face Chang’e, afraid that she would point at his nose and say, "You’re that toad!"

Since he couldn’t directly seek out Chang’e, he very reluctantly and helplessly came to see the rabbit he wished he could strangle to death!

Seeing the rabbit reminded him of his lost magic treasures, which pained his heart...

"Hey, isn’t that Marshal Tianpeng? What kind of wind blew you here?" asked Qin Shou with a chuckle.

Upon seeing that the rabbit did not immediately call him a toad, Tianpeng Marshal also relaxed and said, "Brother Rabbit, I’ve just missed you a little since we haven’t seen each other for a few days, so I came to catch up. This isn’t a place for chatting; how about we visit the Moon Palace and sit for a while?"

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "No thanks, going back to the Moon Palace is so far and the journey would be tiring. I can’t make it."

Tianpeng Marshal’s face darkened upon hearing this. Damn it, you run back and forth every day without any issue, but the moment I come looking for you, you’re suddenly too tired to move?

Tianpeng Marshal forced a dry laugh and said, "Rabbit, how about I carry you over?"

Qin Shou immediately shook his head and said, "Don’t come over, I’ve told you before, I’m afraid of pigs."

Tianpeng Marshal: "..."

Tianpeng Marshal took out a mirror and looked at himself, puzzled. He, a handsome and dashing immortal, how did he become a pig?

Qin Shou kept silent...

Tianpeng Marshal smacked his lips, feeling annoyed. He had been to the Moon Palace once, and that time he was so frightened by this rabbit that he ran away in the middle of it.

But this time, he didn’t plan to run. Having paid such a hefty price, he decided that once he entered the gates of the Moon Palace, he would stay put, if necessary, until he got face time with Chang’e to talk, no matter how much he had to persist. And now, this damned rabbit was being so uncooperative...

"Rabbit, didn’t I give you a carriage last time? It’s not tiring to ride in that," suggested Tianpeng Marshal.

Qin Shou looked up and yawned, "Haven’t you heard of a type of tiredness called travel weariness? The body isn’t tired, but the heart is... Enough talk, I’m going to sleep."
