Chapter 295: Chapter 292 I’m Not Leaving Anymore! [Subscribe Please]_1

As soon as these words came out, Ao Guang’s face turned green, had he ever said he was beyond the Heavenly Court’s jurisdiction?

Taibai Star Monarch understood the damn rabbit’s ability to talk trash too well, naturally, he didn’t take it seriously, but still asked gravely, "Dragon King, are you serious?"

Ao Guang quickly shook his head, "Star Monarch, you understand me. Although I, old dragon, am a bit arrogant, I would never say such things. You mustn’t believe this Rabbit’s nonsense."

Qin Shou curled his lips, "Look at you, what a spirit you have, fine, I’ll pretend you never said it."

"What do you mean pretend I never said it? I never said it!" Ao Guang dared not admit to this; he wouldn’t even touch the edge of it, immediately making it crystal clear. The tone of his voice, just like a resentful young married woman, and his expression were also spot on; he played the part to the fullest.

Seeing this, Qin Shou couldn’t help but praise inwardly, "This old geezer, truly damn cunning!"

"Father..." Ao Bing wanted to say something.

Ao Guang immediately said, "Ao Ying, your younger brother is exhausted today, take him down to rest."

Ao Ying understood Ao Guang’s intentions; no matter how much Ao Guang doted on Ao Bing, no matter how much he bragged about his son, in the end, he still rationally recognized the facts: this kid was good for nothing but causing trouble. If he stayed here and talked nonsense, trouble would ensue sooner or later.

So Ao Ying took Ao Bing away; Ao Bing wanted to say something, but Ao Ying stopped him with a glare. Feeling indignant, Ao Bing left, giving Qin Shou a fierce glare on his way out.

Qin Shou said with a smile, "Old Dragon King, you don’t admit to that one. But about not letting me leave, that was you, right?"

Ao Guang, the sly one, immediately laughed, "Rabbit, look what you’re saying, wasn’t that just an angry remark? Should angry words be taken seriously? Star Monarch, don’t you think that’s right?"

Taibai Star Monarch was about to nod but then heard the Rabbit shout at the top of his lungs, "Angry words? Aren’t angry words still words? What’s the idea here? Am I, just because I was unjustly attacked twice by you all, supposed to let it go? I don’t care, even if it was in your anger, I’m taking it seriously!"

Ao Guang frowned, "Rabbit, what do you want?"

Qin Shou said, "Simple, I won’t take advantage of you. You said not to let me leave, right? Then, I won’t leave! You can provide for me, let me stay for a decade or so, how about that?"

As soon as Ao Guang heard that, he was momentarily stunned. Was this the demand?

Before Ao Guang could react, Taibai Star Monarch interjected, "No way!"

Qin Shou cocked his head and asked, "Why not?"

Taibai Star Monarch said, "The Jade Emperor has commanded that you must return soon."

Qin Shou responded, "Soon, but not right now. For immortals, living a few hundred million years is no problem; a decade or so is indeed soon, isn’t it?"

Ao Guang subconsciously nodded; indeed, a decade or so wasn’t long, and as for providing accommodations and food, there were many palaces in the Dragon Palace; he could simply give the Rabbit a room. As for the food? The East Sea was vast and boundless, with an almost infinite supply of shrimp and crabs; he didn’t mind that at all.

Taibai Star Monarch said, "No."

Qin Shou asked, "How about ten days, at least half a month?"

Taibai Star Monarch said, "At most seven days! If you do not return to the Heavenly Court after seven days, I will come to take you back."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou quickly exclaimed, "No problem! It’s a deal!"

Taibai Star Monarch realized immediately that he had been duped! The Rabbit had never planned to stay down there long!

However, seven days wasn’t too bad, and it wasn’t long. With this thought, Taibai Star Monarch pulled the Rabbit aside and said, "During these seven days, you must not come into contact with the resentment blood of the living spirit!"

Qin Shou said with a smile, "Don’t worry! I understand."

Taibai Star Monarch asked in surprise, "You understand?"

Qin Shou chuckled, "I, after all, have followed so many masters; I understand some things."

Taibai Star Monarch said, "Since you understand, then you must be aware of the consequences. I won’t say more. While you’re here, take care."

Qin Shou grabbed hold of Taibai Star Monarch who was about to leave, chuckling, "Star Monarch, about that... if I eat too much, you’ll have to cover for me a bit."

Upon hearing this, Taibai Star Monarch immediately became anxious, "What? You’re planning to empty the East Sea Dragon Palace?"

Qin Shou bared his teeth in a smile, said nothing, but the meaning was clear: I’ll do my best!

Taibai Star Monarch smiled wryly, "You... don’t worry, the East Sea Dragon Palace is rich in resources, enough for you to eat. As for the consequences... you’ve even invoked the Saint, what consequences could there possibly be?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou was initially startled, then reacted, "Subhuti Patriarch?"

Taibai Star Monarch replied, "Who else could it be? Although Saints no longer descend to the mortal realms, their prestige still remains. Who wouldn’t give face to that? Otherwise, what if one day a Saint left the Purple Sky Palace, who could bear the resulting karma? Anyway, enough talk, I’m off! You, take care."

After saying that, Taibai Star Monarch soared into the air, waving at the Dragon King, "In that case, the Rabbit will stay in the Dragon Palace for seven days; I’ll come after him in seven days to take him back to Heavenly Court."

Ao Guang said with a bitter smile, "Since that’s the case, then stay."

As Taibai Star Monarch was about to leave, Ao Guang transmitted his voice, "Star Monarch, this Rabbit... does he have some kind of trick up his sleeve?"

Taibai Star Monarch transmitted back advisingly, "Just indulge him, and don’t cause a fuss. If you really make a fuss, you’re the one who will lose out. Sigh... even the Jade Emperor is troubled by him."

Having said that, Taibai Star Monarch left.

Ao Guang was stunned by Taibai Star Monarch’s words. Even the Jade Emperor was having a headache over this rabbit! In other words, even the Jade Emperor didn’t have much of a solution!

Suddenly, he had the feeling that he had fallen into a pit he had dug himself! Or rather, he had become the Jade Emperor’s scapegoat!

The only comfort for Ao Guang was that the rabbit would only stay in the Dragon Palace for seven days. Seven days was not long; it would be over in a blink, and he probably couldn’t stir up too much trouble.

With this thought in mind, Ao Guang took a deep breath to calm the resentment and anger in his heart, and tried to muster a smile as he turned around and said, "Rabbit, you, from now on just... Rabbit? Rabbit?! Turtle Prime Minister, where’s that rabbit?!"

The Turtle Prime Minister, with a bitter look, did a somersault to get up and said, "He ran away!"

"Ran away where? I don’t care where he ran off to, you go... Never mind, I’ll chase after him myself!" The Dragon King of the East Sea couldn’t trust anyone else now. This rabbit had a big reputation; he decided it would be best to go after him personally.

The East Sea Dragon Palace was not a single palace, but a complex of palaces!

This palace complex was spread out extensively under the sea, with no end in sight. It was home to countless members of the Sea Clan, with all sorts of Clam Maidens, Whale Hercules, Turtle Immortals, Shark Daoists, and the like...

In the Dragon Palace, large Luminous Pearls, just like light bulbs on earth, were casually hung as streetlights...

The ground was covered with a special type of coral, incredibly flat and comfortable to walk on, changing its level of softness or firmness based on the size and pressure of one’s foot.

Of course, most people here chose to swim, shuttling up and down. Despite the multitude of people, it was not chaotic, clearly indicating that the Dragon Palace had its own set of management methods.

But at this moment, the quiet and peaceful order was disrupted, as a rabbit was seen riding on a bronze Eight Trigrams Furnace, dashing past at breakneck speed!

That rabbit was even more outrageous; as it went, it reached out to snatch the Luminous Pearls that served as streetlights. This enraged many of the Sea Clan, who stopped in their tracks to look back, and then one after another, their faces turned dark!

"Where did this... um, long-eared thing come from? Isn’t he going too far?"

"I’ve never seen it before. I’ve never seen any member of the Sea Clan that looks like that."

"Indeed, I’ve never seen one, and it kind of looks like the rabbits from the legends..."

"Don’t joke. How could a rabbit come to our East Sea Dragon Palace? Unless it’s an Immortal, but an Immortal wouldn’t come to the residential area of the Dragon Palace..."

"Yeah..."

"Look, he even takes such small pearls? Obviously, he’s a country bumpkin; he can’t be an Immortal."

"Destroying public property, that’s outrageous! I’m going to report this!"

And so, someone really went to report it...

Qin Shou didn’t care what these people were saying. To them, the Luminous Pearls might seem small, too small... but for him, a visitor from Earth who had never seen Luminous Pearls and only heard about them in stories, Luminous Pearls the size of a human head! These were priceless treasures!

So, as soon as Qin Shou saw them, his eyes went wide, and he unconsciously snatched one!

Upon close inspection, the Luminous Pearl was utterly transparent, emitting a warm light that wasn’t dazzling to the eye, simply the best source of light!

Unable to resist, Qin Shou fondled his way along... grabbing more than fifty pearls in one go, and his heart was bubbling with joy as he thought, "I’ve struck it rich!"

However, before the rabbit could revel in self-congratulation for three seconds, he looked up and was dumbfounded!

He had come over a hill, only to see a vast undersea plain city below! The size of that city was unknown, with a Luminous Pearl hanging in the air every ten meters on the streets! Qin Shou could no longer count how many Luminous Pearls there were.

But he did understand one thing, that he had been picking up garbage all this while...

Suddenly, he lost interest.

Just as Qin Shou was feeling wistful, the Eight Trigrams Furnace suddenly exclaimed, "Rabbit! Do you smell that? It smells delicious!"

Qin Shou looked up, stood on his tiptoes, and stretched his neck to smell. Indeed, a unique seafood aroma blended with the scent of alcohol drifted over, and Qin Shou’s eyes immediately lit up, "It’s there!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace instantly charged towards the source. After making a couple of turns, the two found a high, eight-story restaurant!

This restaurant was constructed entirely from shells, with Clam Maidens standing at the entrance, each wearing clothes made of pearls and jade strung together with gold wire. Their bare chests, with two prominent white spots, and long legs that were fairer than mutton fat jade, were subtly visible.

The Clam Maidens greeted customers into the restaurant. Inside, clownfish shuttled back and forth, carrying stacks of dishes to and fro, a sight which indeed made Qin Shou feel quite novel.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace didn’t understand these worldly pleasures. It now had two hobbies, cooking and bumping into people!

Having suddenly discovered someone cooking in front of him, and the food smelling not bad, it got interested and eagerly suggested, "Rabbit, this smells really good. Let’s barge in, steal their recipe, and cook a pot ourselves. How about it?"

Qin Shou slapped his hand away and said, "You ignorant pot, what’s the use in stealing a mere recipe? My master is the Kitchen God. If you want to learn cooking, I’ll take you around for a tour. What recipe don’t we have?"

Upon hearing this, the Eight Trigrams Furnace thought for a moment and said, "That’s true too... In that case, let’s go. There’s nothing much to see here anyway. Those two women at the door seem almost frozen to death, it’s quite pitiable. Such a big restaurant and they don’t give them more clothes to wear."
