Chapter 256: Chapter 253: Rumors about the Jade Emperor Flew_1

Therefore, Immortals developed a method to put a lock on their magic treasures, which would lock the treasures and recognize only the owner, rendering them unusable by anyone else. If someone else wanted to use it, there was no need to unlock it; a temporary access command was given, which allowed the person to temporarily obtain the rights to use the magic treasure. However, if the owner of the magic treasure wished to reclaim it, they could cancel the command at any time, and the treasure would automatically return to its owner from a thousand miles away...

The incantation Qin Shou received was just such a command.

But Qin Shou didn’t care about the details. After understanding the mechanism, he happily tucked away the Token.

Across from him, Golden Horn and Silverhorn exchanged a smile and said, "Rabbit, since you have become the Daynight Wandering God, it is not proper for us brothers to attack a Heavenly God. Let’s leave it at that."

After speaking, the two of them also left.

Seeing them leave, Qin Shou didn’t immediately go out; instead, he stood at the door and looked around for a long time. In the end, he even had Baiwen make a trip to Doushuai Palace to confirm that these two guys had really gone and weren’t crouching outside in the bushes, waiting for him to come out and then suddenly shouting, "Demacia."

Only then did Qin Shou feel relieved. He patted his chest and sauntered out of the Imperial Garden, head held high, swaying with every step in a self-important manner that practically screamed ’I dare you to mess with me’ and made his way off...

But he had only walked a few steps when he saw a heavenly official coming towards him—it was Immortal Xu.

Immortal Xu greeted Qin Shou with a wry smile, "Rabbit, here is my debt to you—a fairy palace. From now on, we’re square."

Qin Shou looked at the two Moon Palaces in Immortal Xu’s hands and couldn’t help but laugh, imitating the airs of a government official he had seen in a previous life. He languidly glanced at them, took them over, and with a look of satisfaction, as if to say ’I’m impressed by you,’ he said, "Little Xu, it’s impressive that you’ve come to such a realization. The organization has high hopes for you. Work hard, and your future is limitless..."

Immortal Xu was completely baffled and thought to himself, "Is this damn rabbit on something? Whether I work hard or have prospects has nothing to do with you, does it?"

However, Immortal Xu still managed a forced smile and said, "Thank you..."

Qin Shou nodded contentedly, with his hands behind his back, he sauntered away with a swagger...

Immortal Xu looked at the Rabbit’s smug and beatable retreating figure, speechless... Countless visions of killing the rabbit flashed through his mind, but in the end, they all came to nothing.

As Qin Shou walked, he suddenly remembered, things were different now; he was the Daynight Wandering God! He now had the power to oversee all under Heaven!

Could he also pay Yuying Hall a visit now?

But then he considered the time—it was after school hours at Yuying Hall—so he discarded the thought and headed straight for the moon.

Upon leaving the Southern Gate, Qin Shou burst into laughter upon seeing that today’s gatekeeper was an old acquaintance—Mo Lishou!

Mo Lishou’s shoulder was also accommodating a white Flower Mink...

After a momentary exchange of looks between man and beasts...

Qin Shou wiped drool from his mouth at the sight of the Flower Mink...

The Flower Mink’s fur was about to stand on end before it shot into a pocket and became silent.

Mo Lishou then tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Rabbit, you..."

"Who are you calling rabbit?" Qin Shou raised his head and arrogantly replied.

Mo Lishou paused, unsure of what else to call him if not rabbit.

Qin Shou slowly took out the Daynight Token, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile, "If you continue to disrespect this official, I won’t be polite."

Upon seeing the Daynight Token in Qin Shou’s hand, Mo Lishou’s eyes nearly popped out as he exclaimed, "The Daynight Token? You’ve become the Daynight Wandering God?"

Although being the Daynight Wandering God wasn’t a particularly high-ranking position—indeed, the rank might not even be as high as Mo Lishou’s, as one of the Four Heavenly Lords, and perhaps even lower—but the authority to report others was frightening! Mo Lishou would usually give them a wide berth...

Qin Shou said with a smile, "You’ve got quite the eye! As a reward, I, your humble Rabbit, shall thoroughly inspect the discipline here at the Southern Gate."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lishou’s heart sank—was this damn rabbit going to trouble him again?

But he just saw the rabbit, without looking at anyone else, beeline straight for him...

In his heart, Mo Lishou felt bitter, cursing, "What does this damn rabbit want with me? With so many heavenly soldiers and generals at the Southern Gate, why’s he always fixated on me?"

In fact, Qin Shou had been quite surprised the first time he came to the Southern Gate. In his past life, he’d watched many TV series, and whenever they depicted the Southern Gate, there would be only the Four Heavenly Lords guarding it.

But Qin Shou remembered that’s not how it was recorded in the Chinese mythological system and Taoist canon!

The real Southern Gate was not only guarded by the Four Heavenly Lords; there were other heavenly soldiers and generals, too!

The Southern Gate before him was just that, aside from the eye-catching Mo Lishou, there were Pang, Liu, Gou, Bi, Deng Xin, and Zhang Tao—the eight generals under the Zengzhang Heavenly Lord, along with the Four Marshals—a Taoist quartet: Ma, Zhao, Wen, and Guan—and many heavenly soldiers, forming a grand guarding army.

That is to say, the Southern Gate was never just tended by the Four Heavenly Lords; it was a military force in charge of guarding it!

So, logically, with so many people, if Qin Shou really wanted to inspect, he should have gone to the place with more people. After all, where there were more people, mistakes were more easily made.

Yet, this rabbit didn’t pay any attention to the others, just circling Mo Lishou, round and round he went, scrutinizing Mo Lishou...

Mo Lishou sweated profusely but remained silent, standing straight, chest out, mentally repeating, "An upright man does not fear a slanting shadow... I’ve done nothing, what could he possibly do to me?"

That’s when they heard the Rabbit shout, "Halt! How dare you, Mo Lishou, neglecting your duty at the Southern Gate, which you represent the authority of the Heavenly Court! Not carrying a weapon while guarding the Southern Gate—where is the Heavenly Court’s dignity?!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Lishou nearly burst into tears and inwardly exclaimed, "Damn you, you damn rabbit! Is it that I don’t carry one? Would it be okay for you to see a weapon?"

But then they heard the Rabbit say, "Losing the dignity of the Heavenly Court, I must report this!"

After that, the Rabbit was about to turn around and re-enter the Heavenly Court.

Mo Lishou quickly pulled out the two newly made golden whips and strapped them to his waist, then shouted, "Rabbit... Day Wandering God, you’re right, I’ve strapped my weapons on!"

When the rabbit heard this, it turned around and smiled at Mo Lishou.

A few minutes later, a rabbit walked away contentedly with Mo Lishou’s sugarcoated haws in hand, munching away with the crispy sounds of "crack and crunch," as Mo Lishou’s heart bled...

The other heavenly soldiers and generals subconsciously clenched their own weapons, standing tall and proud, maintaining their majestic demeanor...

Back on the moon, Qin Shou finally stopped throwing his weight around, after all, there was someone at home who wasn’t afraid of him.

When Qin Shou saw Chang’e, he immediately took out his Daynight Wandering God token and cheerfully said, "Silly girl, look, I’ve become an official!"

"What’s this?" Chang’e asked, not understanding.

Qin Shou laughed and said, "This is the Daynight Wandering God’s token!"

"You stole the Daynight Wandering God’s token? How can you be like this? Hurry, let’s return it to them," Chang’e was startled and prepared to leave with the rabbit.

"It’s not stolen!" Qin Shou exclaimed.

Chang’e’s expression changed as she gasped, "Not stolen? You robbed it?! That’s even worse!"

Qin Shou was speechless; was he always seen as the kind to steal or rob in Chang’e’s eyes?

Qin Shou said, "Don’t panic, let me explain slowly..."

"We have to chat slowly about something this serious? No, let’s hurry!" Chang’e insisted.

Qin Shou: "..."

Chang’e, without a choice, dragged Qin Shou by the ear out of the Moon Palace. As she rushed on her way, Qin Shou explained the whole situation to her.

As they neared the Southern Gate, Qin Shou had finished explaining, and Chang’e let out a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death, you silly rabbit. Why didn’t you explain earlier?"

Qin Shou was speechless internally—explain earlier? Did you even give me a chance?

While they were talking, Chang’e held the rabbit in her arms and gave it a good rub. Instead of saying she was rubbing it, it was more of a massage. The rabbit was enjoying itself...

Far away, Mo Lishou finally snapped out of his sorrow and a heavenly soldier whispered to him, "Heavenly Lord, that rabbit is back."

Mo Lishou was so startled his hand trembled, and he quickly looked up, only to see Chang’e pampering the rabbit and showing off their affection, which made him curse inwardly, "Are you freaking kidding me? Stealing my stuff and still torturing my heart... I need to take leave!"

...

After everything was explained, Chang’e was reassured, and returned to the Moon Palace with Qin Shou.

Soon after, there were two loud booms on the moon, and two more Moon Palaces were released, followed by Chang’e’s exclamation, "Wow, two Moon Palaces, Yu’er, how are we going to live in so many houses?!"

Qin Shou’s voice chimed in, "Haha... Silly girl, if we can’t live in them all, we can raise pigs!"

"That’s so extravagant..."

"Then how about chickens?"

"I want to raise pigeons."

"No problem, I’ve got the grill ready, you raise them and I’ll eat!"

"..."

...

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, after classes were dismissed at Yuying Hall, all the fairies were hurrying out, heading straight home.

After the evening meal, in groups of threes and fives, they gathered together, and whispers echoed through the streets and every cave residence.

"Did you hear? The Jade Emperor had a secret tryst with a fairy in the Imperial Garden last night, and the Queen Mother caught them red-handed."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true! Do you know the rabbit from Moon Palace?"

"I heard, I heard that yesterday, he and Raoteng and Baiwen were the only survivors."

"That’s Chang’e’s pet, and Fairy Chang’e and I are good sisters! She said it was the rabbit who told her personally! Could there be any doubt?"

"This... my goodness, the Jade Emperor is actually such a person!"

"Tell me about it... The Jade Emperor was disciplined by the Queen Mother, and it seems that little fox spirit also died. He vented all his frustration in the Imperial Garden, which is why it was chaos there yesterday. Now, they won’t let anyone in... Even the Supervisory Division can’t go in, obviously hiding something fishy."

"My heavens, this is big news!"

"I always thought the Jade Emperor abstained from concubines because he was above worldly desires, but it turns out he’s henpecked."

"Exactly... But I’m curious, the Queen Mother of the West is so beautiful, yet the Jade Emperor never showed any interest in her. What virtues and abilities does this fairy have to move the Jade Emperor’s heart and even make the Queen Mother jealous?"
