Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Agreement_1

As soon as Chang’e heard this, she became anxious and pointed at Qin Shou’s nose, saying, "You... "

Qin Shou thought Chang’e was about to scold him for stealing, after all, Chang’e is a good kid.

However, Chang’e rolled up her sleeves and lifted her skirt, saying, "You idiot, you ate so much useless stuff. I’ll help you find the good stuff!"

Then, Chang’e bent down to search around, tossing various magic treasures to Qin Shou, who sat there, focused on eating.

After eating for a while, Chang’e suddenly stood up and said, "The Star Monarch is almost here, I’ll go to the entrance to delay him for a while, you hurry up and eat. Eat as much as you can!"

And with that, Chang’e hurriedly ran out.

Seeing this, Qin Shou couldn’t help but sigh, "The feeling of being cared for, it’s really nice... "

Then Qin Shou continued to eat eagerly. He had learned to be clever, weapons and armor were certainly magic treasures, and beyond these were the herbs...

The rest, much of it, looked good but didn’t contain much Yuan Qi.

Moreover, Qin Shou was amazed to find that despite eating so many so-called precious treasures, none of them contained an amount of Yuan Qi that could compare to Wu Gang’s belt— the difference was far too slight!

Qin Shou couldn’t help but exclaim, "Taibai Star Monarch is just too honest, what kind of junk has he collected after living for so many years? Such a waste, being the Jade Emperor’s favored one. If it had been I, not to boast of wealth rivaling a nation, but surely I’d have more treasures than that beggar Wu Gang?"

As Qin Shou reflected, he ate even faster.

Just then, Qin Shou was shocked to discover that as his stomach filled with more and more Yuan Qi, the Eight-Nine Empyrean Art also began to accelerate!

His physical body was being strengthened at an incredible pace, and his Yuan Qi was being consumed even faster!

Seeing this, Qin Shou cried out in panic, "This is really going to be the end of me!"

So, Qin Shou ate even more frantically.

Taibai Star Monarch descended from Heaven, and as soon as he landed, he sprinted toward the cave, only to run headlong into Chang’e. They both froze for a moment upon seeing each other, as if both were searching for the right words and unsure of what to say.

"Fairy, I... "

"Star Monarch, you... "

After exchanging a glance, Taibai Star Monarch instantly understood – she was there to stop him.

So Taibai Star Monarch shouted, "Your Rabbit has stolen all my treasures! I’m going to save my treasures!"

With that, Taibai Star Monarch dashed inside.

With the facts laid bare, Chang’e couldn’t say much else and just followed, wondering how to ensure Taibai Star Monarch wouldn’t pursue Qin Shou for stealing and eating. At the very least, she couldn’t let Qin Shou die too horribly...

The moment Taibai Star Monarch rushed into the cave, tears couldn’t stop flowing, he wailed, "My treasures that I’ve collected for millions of years! You little Rabbit scoundrel, spit them out right now!"

Taibai Star Monarch rushed over, grabbed Qin Shou, and started prying his mouth open with force.

Qin Shou willingly opened his mouth, sticking out his tongue, his mouth completely empty!

Taibai Star Monarch shouted, "Where is it? Where are the things inside? Where are my treasures?"

Belch...

Qin Shou patted his belly and said, "Aren’t all the things right here... why are you looking at my mouth? I don’t have cavities."

Taibai Star Monarch took a step back from the belch, sat down on the ground, and began to cry woefully, "My treasures... you darn rabbit, you bit down too hard! Always choosing the best to bite..."

Qin Shou, seeing Taibai Star Monarch’s pained expression, was genuinely concerned he might just keel over from a heart attack.

But then he remembered, immortals don’t have heart attacks, and he felt relieved.

Chang’e said with an embarrassed face, "Star Monarch, I’m sorry... Yu’er is sick, seriously deficient in Yuan Qi, and if she doesn’t eat something with great Yuan Qi, she won’t live more than two or three days. We had no other choice..."

Qin Shou didn’t feel guilty about stealing at all.

But Taibai Star Monarch’s crying did make him feel a bit guilty.

No matter how long immortals could live, Taibai Star Monarch still appeared to be an old man, and having bullied an old man to tears, his conscience was truly troubled, so he approached and said, "Star Monarch, look at how petty you are being. When I, Rabbit, have made it big, I promise you, I’ll pay back double what I’ve eaten today. Besides, you’ve already set up my entire family for the slaughter, and we haven’t blamed you for it. A little food that I’ve taken, you shouldn’t be so petty about it."

Taibai Star Monarch glared at Qin Shou and said, "If it weren’t for that, I’d have sent you straight to the Demon Slaying Altar by now!"

Qin Shou stuck out his tongue and acted cute, "Well, look at my small frame, killing me wouldn’t yield much meat. How about you wait until I’ve become awesome and I repay you double, wouldn’t you make a huge profit? That’s called investment! Financial management! Understand? Otherwise, even if you carry those treasures with you, can they sire you any offspring, huh?"

Although Taibai Star Monarch felt there was some sense in what Qin Shou said, he mostly thought he was spouting nonsense!

Taibai Star Monarch said, "Relying on you? Don’t take this the wrong way, but whether you can survive the ordeal on July 15th is still up in the air."

Qin Shou said, "So, to ensure your investment doesn’t lose out, old man, please think of more ways to help us when you get back, hehe..."

"I... it’s already generous of me not to kill you, and I still have to help you?" Taibai Star Monarch’s eyes were almost exploding with anger.

Qin Shou said, "Not to help me, to help her! Look, what you owe me has been repaid with the food. But how do you settle what you owe her? Besides, you’re actually making way too much profit here, the matter of duping me can be deemed settled, and in the future, you stand to regain double."

Taibai Star Monarch chuckled and said, "Double? You, a little rabbit, what great capabilities do you have to repay me double? It would be good enough if you’re not caught and stewed one day."

Qin Shou matter-of-factly said, "That’s why it’s called high-risk investment! Without risk, why would it be your turn to invest, right?"

Taibai Star Monarch thought it over, things were already this way, clinging on to it was useless.

Could he really catch this woman and rabbit and punish them?

Taibai Star Monarch sighed and said, "Fine, fine, let’s just consider it an investment... but this risk... sigh..."

Taibai Star Monarch shook his head, collected the remaining things, and left riding the flying rainbow.

Having sent Taibai Star Monarch away again, Qin Shou and Chang’e looked at each other, both seeing relief in each other’s eyes.

Chang’e raised her hand and slapped Qin Shou’s forehead, knocking his rabbit ears askew, "Yu’er, you can’t do this again in the future, it’s too dangerous."

Qin Shou resignedly straightened his ears and said, "I had no choice, I just wanted to live a couple more days. After all, he does owe us."

Chang’e said, "Regardless, the Star Monarch meant well, he just did the wrong thing. You’re not allowed to do this again, otherwise, I will ignore you!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou quickly nodded and said, "Alright, alright... I won’t take such risks in the future."
