Chapter 207: Chapter 206 A Face with a Name_1

Dog Xiaotian’s face grew even darker upon hearing this...

Ha-ha... Qin Shou laughed unapologetically.

The shopkeeper then chimed in, "Whose rabbit is this? It’s quite plump too; I’ll add a hundred more Red Spirit Crystals and take them both! Where is the person?"

Qin Shou’s face instantly became stiff...

Upon hearing this, Dog Xiaotian burst into laughter, saying, "Damn rabbit, you’re still laughing? You are worth only a hundred Red Spirit Crystals! Ha-ha... and that’s just as a giveaway!"

Qin Shou’s face darkened even more...

When the shopkeeper saw that Dog Xiaotian was actually talking, he jumped in fright and said, "Both of you, you’ve become spirits... I... well, there’s been a misunderstanding."

Funnily enough, their anger rose even more as soon as the shopkeeper spoke.

Especially Qin Shou, who bellowed, "You dare look down on me? Take this slap!"

The rabbit charged forward, tackled the shopkeeper to the ground, and started slapping him. However, with short arms, he had to twist half his body with each slap.

As a result of this spinning, his large ears whipped around, smacking the shopkeeper’s face with a slap-slap sound... effectively doubling the assault!

The shopkeeper cried out in pain and pleaded, "Great Rabbit Master, I was wrong, you’re worth more than that dog!"

"What?" Dog Xiaotian, who was scratching an itch with his back foot, raised his eyebrows in annoyance upon hearing that.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Shou laughed heartily and patted the shopkeeper’s face, "Well said, now onto the next one!"

The rabbit hopped away, and before the shopkeeper could grasp what "next one" meant, a shadow descended from the sky as they heard a loud shout, "Take this butt-slam from Mr. Dog!"

Thump...

Gag...

Qin Shou turned away, retching, and thought: This dog is really disgusting...

"Mr. Dog, I was wrong, you’re worth more than the rabbit..." the shopkeeper begged for mercy.

Dog Xiaotian and Qin Shou exchanged glances. Dog Xiaotian said, "Your turn now."

Then the dog got off, and the rabbit mounted, starting another round of slaps and ear-smacks, creating resounding slaps.

The shopkeeper’s cries were full of grievance, "How is this my fault? Which dog spirit just sits at our shop’s doorstep... Only those who sell dogs come here... Wuu wuu..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou suddenly stopped.

Dog Xiaotian, puzzled, said, "Why stop? Aren’t you angry anymore?"

Qin Shou heaved a sigh to the sky, "He said something in our hometown dialect, I’ve decided to let it go."

"What did he say?" Dog Xiaotian asked.

Qin Shou enunciated each word, "Dog seller!"

"Damn, that makes me angrier!" Dog Xiaotian exclaimed, ready to continue the beating with a raised paw.

Just then, a dignified voice rang out, "Spare others when you can, Dog Xiaotian, Rabbit, it’s fine to vent a little, but you’ve been fighting for so long, blocking so many customers; this is affecting my business... and you’re going to have to pay for that."

"Who?" Qin Shou and Dog Xiaotian both looked up at the same time, searching the surroundings.

A man in a white robe emerged from inside the shop. He had a small goatee, hands clasped behind his back, looking serene and gentle as he smiled, and walked with a languid grace... resembling a male version of Xishi.

Qin Shou smacked his lips and transmitted his voice to Dog Xiaotian, "Damn, this guy is so effeminate... even more like a scholar than Wenqu Star Monarch. Do you know him?"

"Don’t know him..." Dog Xiaotian shook his head subconsciously.

Qin Shou said, "After so many years in the Heavenly Court, don’t you recognize anyone?"

Dog Xiaotian rolled his eyes and said, "Bullshit so many years, I’ve been in Guan Estuary with my master for most of the time, not in the Heavenly Court. I participate in only three or four major events a year, and I always stay in a side hall... Besides, not all Immortals in the Heavenly Court like wandering around. Many prefer to stay at home and not leave for a thousand years. What’s so strange about not seeing anyone? There are some who haven’t shown their faces since the Heavenly Court was open for business!"

"There are such eccentrics? Can they get promoted like that?" Qin Shou was astonished.

Dog Xiaotian fell silent for a moment, then said with some depth, "For Immortals, promotion is not that significant..."

Qin Shou didn’t understand what Dog Xiaotian meant and was about to ask further...

When he heard the scholarly and gentle-sounding man say, "You two are delaying my business, and you’ll have to pay for it."

Qin Shou immediately said, "Why should we? We haven’t even settled the matter of your shopkeeper cursing at us!"

The weak-looking scholar didn’t get angry and smiled, "Oh? Then let’s settle it. How much do you think I should compensate you two?"

Qin Shou was startled and glanced at Dog Xiaotian.

Dog Xiaotian scratched his ear and communicated telepathically, "Can’t be, is this sissy so spineless?"

Qin Shou telepathically replied, "Then how much shall we ask for?"

Dog Xiaotian said, "We can’t ask for too little. After all, we are distinguished figures!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s face turned red; he always felt that the two of them could hardly be considered distinguished. Shameless, perhaps, but hardly illustrious.

Qin Shou had no concept of the prices in Heavenly Court and found it hard to speak up, so he left the question to the more experienced Dog Xiaotian, asking, "So how much exactly?"

Dog Xiaotian looked up and raised a paw, saying, "We are after all distinguished figures of the Heavenly Court. That a shop employee pointed at our noses and insulted us is only worth five hundred Red Spirit Crystals... Truly infuriating!"

Qin Shou heard this and kicked Dog Xiaotian, saying, "What about me!"

Dog Xiaotian said, "Right, throw in a rabbit and add only one hundred Red Spirit Crystals; that’s a joke!"

Qin Shou was starting to regret reminding the damn dog...

The gentle-looking man said, "So how much should the compensation be, after all?"

Dog Xiaotian held up two paws and shouted, "A flat rate, a hundredfold compensation, sixty thousand Red Spirit Crystals! How about that? Fair, isn’t it?"

At the same time, Dog Xiaotian gave Qin Shou a smug look, as if to say, "How about that? Harsh, right?"

Qin Shou grinned and secretly gave a thumbs up...

Qin Shou had swindled and conned for so long, and all his belongings amounted to thirty thousand Red Spirit Crystals.

The damn dog just opened his mouth and asked for sixty thousand Red Spirit Crystals; Qin Shou felt that the price was good!

But with such a high price, Qin Shou was a bit worried, and he telepathically asked Dog Xiaotian, "With such a high price, will this guy agree? If we really cause a scene, we don’t seem to have much of an argument."

Dog Xiaotian telepathically replied, "No problem, as the saying goes, ask for the moon and settle for less. We throw a high price out there, he can bargain, it’s negotiable."

Qin Shou suddenly discovered that this damn dog was quite smart... He said, "With a brain like yours, not setting up a stall to make money but staying holed up in the mountains with your master all day, it’s a waste of talent."

Dog Xiaotian wasn’t modest either, nodding and saying, "Exactly..."

Just at that moment, the gentle man smiled slightly and said, "Fair, extremely fair. I should indeed compensate with sixty thousand Red Spirit Crystals..."

As soon as he said this, Qin Shou and Dog Xiaotian, who had been ready for a counteroffer, were suddenly stunned. Could this really work?

Dog Xiaotian immediately shouted, "Then give us the money!"

However, the gentle man shook his head slightly.

Qin Shou asked, "What now? Are you reneging on the deal?"
