Chapter 222: Chapter 219 Damn Rabbit! [Subscribe]_1

Tianpeng was stunned and thought to himself, "Lighting candles? The Rabbit must be truly dead..."

Why all this good food?

Could it be that Chang’e is not only not angry but actually quite happy, celebrating at home?

That might be right, that damn rabbit was so detestable, its death probably brought peace."

Once Tianpeng thought of this, he quickly said, "It seems like there has been a misunderstanding, fairy, please wait."

After speaking, Tianpeng turned around and started cleaning up!

The immortals hired by Tianpeng, who were professionals at handling celebrations and mourning events, swiftly packed up the coffin, hemp garments, and white cloth strips into the Xumi Bag. Then they started hanging red ribbons...

The dirge music also immediately changed to "Happy Sheep," with some setting off firecrackers and fireworks...

Tianpeng nodded in satisfaction, then turned back to smile at Chang’e and said, "This should make the fairy a bit happier, right?"

But then he heard a loud bang—the great door to the Moon Palace shut!

Afterward, Chang’e’s angry voice could be heard from the courtyard: "Even if Yu’er really left, my Moon Palace does not welcome you!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou, squatting in the tree, shook his head and muttered, "This Tianpeng is really foolishly in love for three years. His whole being seems to lack intelligence... Such a lack of tact! Is that how he thinks he can woo a girl?"

When Tianpeng heard this, he knew he had messed up and waved his hand to dismiss the immortals...

Then Tianpeng sighed deeply and said, "Fairy, I know you have a good relationship with Qin Shou, you treat him like family, but... the fact is the fact. The Rabbit is gone, everyone saw it with their own eyes! The Sun Wandering God saw it, a big Black Dragon got eaten in one bite, how could a Rabbit survive?"

Having said this, Tianpeng tried to push the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

He continued, "Ah, it’s actually also my fault. As an older brother, I didn’t take good enough care of him. If I had kept him in the military camp with me, none of this would have happened. With the vastness of heaven and earth, which demon would dare to make trouble in my Milky Way Navy’s camp?

Actually, it wouldn’t have mattered if he hadn’t gone, but I, the older brother, am really foolish!

Why didn’t I think of giving him a hundred and eighty Spiritual Treasures for protection?

If I had given them to him, at least he would have been safe with treasures to protect him."

No sooner had he spoken these words than the sound of unlatching bolts came from behind the door.

As soon as he heard this, Tianpeng’s heart blossomed with joy, thinking to himself, "I’m so freaking smart! Appeal to her logic and emotions, brag a bit, and finally convinced Chang’e to open the door... Haha... Although those candles were a bit of a damper, being able to have dinner with Fairy Chang’e means today wasn’t a total waste!"

Tianpeng thought it all sounded great. After all, since the Rabbit was dead, it didn’t matter how much he bragged - it’s not like the Rabbit could come back to life in a scam and demand the treasures, right?

Indulging in his pleasant thoughts, the door opened, but behind it, there was nothing but empty space—a shadow was nowhere to be seen!

Tianpeng was baffled, thinking to himself, "Where is she? Maybe she went to her boudoir waiting for me to console her?"

As he was entertaining these pleasing thoughts, a dry cough suddenly came from beneath his feet...

Tianpeng looked down and saw a fluffy, plump Rabbit with big shiny buck teeth standing below him!

The Rabbit, with tears in its eyes, looked up at him and choked up, "Tianpeng... I really misjudged you before, you turned out to be such a good person... After I survived the disaster last time, I never would have guessed that my future wealth would lie with you! Come on, for your brother’s safety, give me a hundred and eighty Spiritual Treasures, be they innate or acquired, I’m not picky!"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng’s face turned green... He rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at the Rabbit in front of him, and in disbelief said, "You’re not dead?!"

Qin Shou replied, "Do I look like I’m dead? Cut the chatter, just show me the treasures."

Tianpeng suddenly gave a yawn and said, "Ah... I’ve been busy for a month, with battles to fight and demons to catch, I’m exhausted... It must be because I miss my dear Rabbit brother so much that I’m getting delusional, seeing things... No good, I need to hurry back and rest. Fairy Chang’e, I won’t disturb your rest any longer, I’ll visit you another time!"

With that, Tianpeng, no matter how the Rabbit behind him shouted, took to his heels and ran...

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou shouted, "You dead pig head, after harassing my family, you think you can take off without plucking a single hair? Now you send my Rabbit lord a coffin and a wreath and think you can just leave without any compensation?"

As he spoke, Qin Shou grabbed onto Tianpeng’s leg.

Tianpeng flew extremely fast and soon left the moon behind where Chang’e was no longer visible; he then angrily said, "Damn Rabbit, let go!"

Qin Shou retorted, "I won’t let go! Compensate me!"

Tianpeng raged, "I thought you were dead and I organized a funeral for you, not charging you was already generous, and now you want money from me?"

"So you’re not paying?" Qin Shou said.

Tianpeng looked up, "No, I’m not!"

Qin Shou responded, "Fine, you just wait!"

Qin Shou stopped clinging and started to thieve!

He stole the heavens, the earth, your underwear...

Tianpeng didn’t know what this damn Rabbit was doing, but having such a trinket hanging off his leg, he would be too embarrassed to go through the Southern Gate...

So Tianpeng just wandered around outside...

After traveling around for quite a while, the Rabbit suddenly let go and said, "Forget it, I won’t hold a grudge against you."

After saying that, the Rabbit walked away without looking back...

Tianpeng, with a head full of question marks, wondered when the damn Rabbit had become so agreeable. Could it be that the real damn Rabbit had died, and this was an imposter?

With a mind full of doubts, Tianpeng shook his head and returned to the Milky Way Navy’s camp.

That evening, inside the naval camp of the Milky Way Navy.

"Damn it! Where’s my rake?! Who saw my rake? Motherfucker, damn rabbit, it must be you!"

"Achoo!"

Qin Shou sneezed...

"Yu’er, did you do something naughty again?" Chang’e asked with a frown.

Qin Shou said, "No! Of course not! How could I, such a clever and charming person, do something bad? Let’s eat. With such beautiful scenery and a handsome rabbit like me for company, shouldn’t you seize the opportunity to eat more? Look how thin you’ve gotten these past few days..."

As he spoke, Qin Shou picked a big chicken leg for Chang’e.

Chang’e pursed her lips and didn’t pursue the matter any further; instead, the two of them chatted and laughed as they continued their meal.

After they had eaten their fill, Qin Shou patted his belly and went back to his room. Looking around and seeing no one, he pulled on his big ears, starting to worry...

"Why is this rake so heavy?" Qin Shou opened the Black Demon Box, and inside, a black-gold Nine-Toothed Rake rested on its throne.

This was none other than the weapon of Tianpeng Marshal, the Nine-Toothed Rake!

Qin Shou had some impression of this rake. He remembered from "Journey to the West," it was said that the full name of the Nine-Toothed Rake was the Immortal Gold Rake, personally forged by Supreme Elder Lord from divine ice iron, borrowing the power of the Five Directional Emperors, the Thunder Purifying Mantra, the Puhua Thunder Venerable of the Nine Supreme Heavens, and the force of the Six Dings and Six Jias.

The weight of the Nine-Toothed Rake was one zang, about equivalent to five thousand and forty-eight jin. How this measurement compared to Earth’s jin, Qin Shou didn’t know. But one thing was clear to him: anything that immortals considered to weigh one jin was something mortals couldn’t lift, no matter what...

The Nine-Toothed Rake had quite the reputation; it wasn’t every day you saw a piece of equipment forged with the assistance of a Saint and the Five Directional Emperors.

The only pity was that it wasn’t a weapon but a ceremonial implement. Although its power was formidable, it wasn’t as useful as a weapon of the same tier.

After all, a ceremonial implement, like the swords worn by gentlemen of ancient times, was meant to display status, not for brawling and fighting.

Yet Qin Shou couldn’t figure out why Supreme Elder Lord and the others put so much effort into making such an awesome weapon for a pig...

Or was it that he had always underestimated Tianpeng’s status in the Heavenly Court?

Regardless, this time he had struck it big, his usually trash-stealing magic had suddenly hit the jackpot and stolen a blockbuster!

The only thing that frustrated Qin Shou was that he couldn’t lift the thing!

After trying several times, he still couldn’t lift the Nine-Toothed Rake. When he had first stolen it, he nearly lost his grip on it, but thankfully he had used the Black Demon Box to catch it in time; otherwise, Tianpeng Marshal would have definitely noticed immediately.

Now, Qin Shou was tilting the Black Demon Box upside down.

The Nine-Toothed Rake immediately fell out, emitting golden radiance and hovering in the air.

Qin Shou tried to pick it up again, but still couldn’t move it.

Blood recognition?

But the blood wouldn’t even stay on the Nine-Toothed Rake...

Just as Qin Shou was pondering how to deal with this rake...

A light suddenly illuminated on the rake, bright enough to take the shape of Tianpeng’s face!

Tianpeng’s eyes widened with anger, "Rabbit..."

But before he could finish, a cloth was thrown over Tianpeng’s head, and Qin Shou grabbed it, ready to stuff it into the Black Demon Box.

Just then, a golden light flashed from the Nine-Toothed Rake, repelling Qin Shou with a blast and then soaring into the sky as a stream of light!

At that moment, Qin Shou bit hard onto the Nine-Toothed Rake, thinking, "Motherfucker, if I can’t have it, I’ll at least take a bite to taste the freshness!"

The result was a loud "crack"!

Qin Shou yelped in pain.

Then, Tianpeng’s boisterous laughter erupted from the rake, "My Immortal Gold Rake was forged by Supreme Elder Lord; you think you can bite through it? Give up, rabbit, haha..."

Qin Shou stood there with his cheeks puffed out, looking oddly up at the sky...

After a while, back at the naval camp of the Milky Way Navy: "Where’s the tooth from my rake gone? Where could it be?! Damn rabbit!"

In the Moon Palace, Qin Shou was crunching on the tooth of the rake in his mouth, "Where does this guy get his confidence? A ceremonial implement, not a weapon, surely the Elder Lord wouldn’t focus on hardness when crafting it... Silly pig!"

Having eaten his fill, Qin Shou began to ponder his path forward...

First and foremost, there was the issue of the Cultivation Method. He didn’t want to remain this way forever; although he didn’t aspire to become the Jade Emperor, he at least wanted to live comfortably.

His current ease was conditional upon the broader environment...

Having read a lot of novels, Qin Shou still felt a sense of crisis in this world. He believed that true peace was only when one had enough power to dominate a territory.

Next was developing offensive and defensive magic...

Although Qin Shou knew several magic spells that were fine for petty theft and escaping, not a single one was good for fighting!

But above everything, cultivation base was foundational, so acquiring a proper Cultivation Technique was essential.

PS: It’s the last day or two of the month, and once again, I’m being devastated. Can’t even hang on to tenth place, huh? Alas... I need monthly votes!
