Chapter 225: Chapter 222: The Two Brothers [Seeking Monthly Votes and Subscriptions]_1

Three of them stepped forward one after another and spoke up, leaving Li Jing speechless...

Especially the Kitchen God, who directly took the blame upon himself. What else could Li Jing say?

Regardless, Li Jing just couldn’t understand why they were protecting that Rabbit, who caused trouble almost exclusively for them. How could they be so protective of such a scoundrel?

In front of the Jade Emperor, a golden light twinkled, concealing his expression. All that could be heard was his calm voice, "Taibai Star Monarch, what’s your view on this matter?"

Taibai Star Monarch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Rabbit should indeed not be blamed for this matter. After all, it has had too little time to experience the outside world and much to learn... However, it’s true that all these issues are caused by the Rabbit’s disregard for the rules. In my opinion, we should strengthen its discipline."

This statement nearly made Li Jing spit out blood... How was this any different from not punishing at all?

Li Jing hastily spoke, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Rabbit is not that young anymore. What it lacks is societal experience. Why not send it down to the Lower Realm to gain some? As the saying goes, one must endure the storm to see the rainbow..."

As soon as he finished speaking...

The Kitchen God, Lu Ban, and Wenqu exclaimed in unison, "No!"

"Why not? Even the offspring of Heavenly Court must descend to the Lower Realm for experience once they come of age. Others can go, why can’t the Rabbit?" As Li Jing asked this, his eyes flickered somewhat.

He was a smart man, or else he wouldn’t have been able to choose the right side in several world-changing events.

He had always felt that there was something strange about that Rabbit and had investigated secretly. Before he could get far, he saw that sacred edict and had no choice but to stop.

This was also a thorn in his side, and the real reason he did not want Li Zhenying and Qin Shou to interact—he always felt that the Rabbit was trouble...

Getting involved with it would lead to ruin sooner or later...

But oh, how curious he was...

Seeing the reactions of the Kitchen God, Wenqu, and Lu Ban, they likely knew something, so he feigned innocence to extract information.

Upon hearing Li Jing’s inquiry, the three shook their heads in unison: "No, just no. The Rabbit is still young, better to keep it in Heavenly Court."

Li Jing said, "I request the Jade Emperor to make a decision."

The Jade Emperor asked, "Taibai Star Monarch, what’s your opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Taibai let out a sigh, knowing the Jade Emperor already had his plans and was merely not stating them...

Therefore, Taibai Star Monarch stepped forward and said, "I believe the Rabbit should not yet descend to the Lower Realm."

"Agreed!"

With the Jade Emperor’s decree, the debate was settled. Li Jing felt somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing he could do and he could only withdraw.

Meanwhile, up on the moon...

"Bunny!" A startled shout made Qin Shou jump, his freshly-crafted pink lace lingerie almost falling to the ground...

Turning around, he saw two new arrivals at the doorway, both of whom he recognized—one from meeting before and the other from hearsay.

The male was about 1.5 meters tall, with a shiny golden hoop slung around his neck and a red sash tied at his waist. He was a shoe-in for Nezha from the legends.

As for the other, a petite and adorable lolita in a pink gown, with big eyes and long eyelashes fluttering like tiny fans, it was Li Zhenying.

Seeing Qin Shou, Li Zhenying happily said, "Bunny, I’m so relieved you’re okay. What are you doing? What’s this?"

Li Zhenying bounced over and then her big eyes landed on the bra in Qin Shou’s hands.

Without hesitation, Qin Shou placed the bra on his head with a straight face, as naturally as could be, "It’s a sleep mask, helpful for sleep when worn at night. How did you two get here? And who is this?"

With her simple mind, Li Zhenying took it as a sleep mask without further thought and introduced the other person with a hint of pride, "This is my Third Brother, Nezha."

Nezha straightened his posture, not tall but carrying the aura of a big brother. However, Qin Shou had the feeling there was something off about him!

Nezha nodded solemnly and then offered his greeting, "Qin Shou, thank you for your assistance to Zhenying last time."

Qin Shou waved his hand dismissively, "If it’s for that, don’t mention it. Zhenying is my classmate; if I don’t help her, who will I help? Right?"

After speaking, Qin Shou went to pat Li Zhenying’s head, only to realize he wasn’t tall enough...

Li Zhenying, however, obligingly squatted down to accommodate Qin Shou’s small vanity...

Seeing this, Nezha’s eyebrows raised, clearly a bit put off...

But Nezha didn’t hold on to the small matter, saying, "In that case, I’ll save the thank-you gift."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou stiffened slightly, looked up, grinned, and said, "Can I take back what I just said, or is it too late now?"

Nezha froze, having never encountered such a thing in his life...

Was he so desperate for a gift that he’d forsake his pride?

Moreover, Nezha hadn’t brought any gift. His words were just a courtesy, thinking the Rabbit wouldn’t accept it anyway.

The result...

Nezha looked at Qin Shou in front of him, Qin Shou watched him with a grin, not showing any sign of embarrassment...

Nezha said, "Do you know? Doing this is really shameful."

At the same time, Nezha glanced at Li Zhenying, as if to say, are you not embarrassed in front of my sister?

Then, he saw Rabbit nod and say, "Right, doing this is indeed shameful, but I’m just a rabbit, what does shame have to do with me?"

Nezha was left speechless...

Then, he saw Rabbit stretch out a paw, with a sleazy tone, saying, "Third Prince, what gifts have you brought me? You are the Lord Haihui of Three Realms, and your family is the Grand Marshal’s mansion... Oh, right, every time Marshal Tianpeng comes, he brings me these things."

While speaking, Qin Shou took out his cloak, staff, and other magic treasures one by one, placing them in front of him, especially the eight golden rings of the yellow level Nine Star, which twinkled with bright golden light.

Nezha twitched several times when he saw them...

Nezha cleared his throat and said, "Marshal Tianpeng really knows how to spend lavishly."

Qin Shou nodded and said, "Not bad, last time he came, he forgot to bring a gift and just broke off a tusk to give to me, that was really bold. Third Prince, you see... what about my gift from you? Let me take a look?"

Nezha began to sweat profusely, not to mention he hadn’t prepared a gift, even if he had, he couldn’t present it now!

Li Zhenying looked at Nezha and then at Qin Shou, secretly pinching Qin Shou’s little tail, and whispered by Qin Shou’s big ear, "My third brother is really poor..."

Qin Shou first felt a spurt of excitement in his rear, shivering all over, then a tickle in his ear...

Although Qin Shou had no thoughts about this little girl, being provoked like this, he, a grown man, was a bit overwhelmed.

So Qin Shou thought to himself, "Alright, alright, I give up, the ancients at most used beauties, this girl directly went for sexual harassment..."

Qin Shou then laughed and said, "Haha... just messing with you, what’s that, Third Prince, don’t be shy, it’s like you’re at your own home in the Moon Palace, relax a little..."

When Nezha saw Rabbit’s immediate 180-degree turn in demeanor and smile, he also laughed, but the smile looked worse than crying. He’d never embarrassed himself in front of his sister before...

But thinking that he wouldn’t be bled dry, Nezha also breathed a sigh of relief.

Following that, Qin Shou actually seemed very proactive, taking care of the tea and snacks...

Since Nezha was naturally not a reserved person, just liked to pretend to be serious in front of his sister, facing Qin Shou, this sleazy rabbit, he quickly became unashamed, discarded any care, didn’t fuss over his sitting posture, sat cross-legged on the chair, arms folded, boasting...

Nezha truly had great adventures to boast about; he had been to Heaven, the Lower Realm, the Netherworld, the sea, and caused a ruckus... his stories were spectacular.

Qin Shou was so captivated by Nezha’s tales that he clutched his little teacup, and he and Li Zhenying listened with wide eyes, utterly enchanted.

This did indeed help Nezha regain much of the face he had just lost...

"I’m going to the restroom," Li Zhenying suddenly said, and then she ran off.

Watching the young girl’s figure fading into the distance, both Qin Shou and Nezha’s gazes were filled with the very same affection.

Seeing such a look, Nezha’s impression of Qin Shou improved even more...

Nezha said, "Your place here isn’t bad, it’s just lacking in plants."

Qin Shou responded, "It does lack some, how about the Third Prince provides some support?"

Nezha was taken aback, then laughed and said, "You really are like the rumors say, absolutely shameless."

Qin Shou laughed heartily and said, "I don’t get this ’shame’ you speak of, to me, isn’t that just a mask? Wanting something yet not saying it, dithering around, like an old lady, right?"

Nezha was stunned. Although Qin Shou’s words were rough, it was hard to deny they made sense!

Qin Shou continued, "I’m not like you guys, you care about face, what does a rabbit need that for? Look at this place, Yuan Qi is so sparse, it’s tough to even find a blade of grass... living in such poverty, what’s the use of thinking so much? I just want my family and myself to live better... As for face? Compared to that, how much is it worth?"

Nezha was again shaken by Qin Shou’s words...

After a while, Nezha suddenly stood up and gave Qin Shou a bow.

Qin Shou was stunned, asking, "What are you doing?"

Nezha smiled and said, "I’m not bowing to you, but to your words just now, to the passion of youth I almost lost..."

Qin Shou was puzzled.

Nezha looked up at the Heavenly Court in the sky and said, "People say becoming a deity is wonderful, but only after becoming one do you realize the freedom of not being a deity... Over the years, I nearly lost myself, but your words helped me understand a lot. Living a life is all about being comfortable, right? Striving for a better life without stealing or robbing, why live unhappily for some worthless face?"

Qin Shou agreed, "It should be so!"

"At this moment, there should be alcohol!" Nezha said, as he pulled out a large jar of liquor and chuckled, "This is wine brewed by Dukang, the Wine God. Last time I visited him, I swiped a jar. Marching and fighting, you’re not allowed to drink, but today, to hell with the rules, let’s drink!"
